CAPITALISTIC LEGISLATION.
This, Say h Norman J. ColeinHt), Has Been
th« Fanner#’ Curse.
Norman J. Coleman, ox-secretary of
agriculture, addressed the farmers of
Pike county, Mo., in the town of Louisi
ana recently. The following is taken
from a report of the speech, which ap
peared in a St. Louis paper:
He asked the cause of the rapid in
crease of farm mortgages in most states,
doubling in many of them in the last
ten years. He jointed to the fact tliat
no new farm buildings were going up,
aa in days when farmers were prosper
ous, and stated that while in 18tR) 58 per
cent, of the wealth of the nation was in
the hands of the agricultural classes, in
1880 but 40 per cent, remained in their
hands, and in 1890 but 85 |« r cent.
As the wealth of the agricultural
classes had declined the wealth of the
Money changers of the east had increas
ed. As the farmers had gone down the
manufacturers and capitalists of the east
had gone tip. Millionaires in that sec
tion of the country could now be count
ed not only by the thousand but by tens
of thousands. As the farmer became
poorer the rich became richer.
There uingt lie some cause for this
Strange condition of affairs. The farm
ers see and feel that something is wrong,
that the iron hand of the oppressor and
the task master is upon them. Like men
groping in the dark they are trying to
find out who are their oppressors. One
hundred and sixty thousand of them in
this state have banded together that they
may more intelligently, more certainly
find out who are the factors in bringing
them to poverty, to bankruptcy, and
when they do find out woe unto them.
The speaker said no one would deny
that he had had unusual epjxirtuni ties
in investigating the causes that had pro
duced this wonderful decline in the
value of farm properties. During the
four years he had the honor of lieing at
the head of the United States depart
ment of agriculture he had investigated,
with the beet lights before him (freeing
his mind as far as iiossible from bias and
prejudice), the cause of the farmers’
downward career. With good crojis,
with bursting granaries, with largo
flocks and herds feeding upon the thou
sand hills and valleys and plains, his prof
its diminish, his mortgages increase,
notwithstanding he gives the best efforts
of mind and body to keep even with the
world. He is straggling against a cur
sent that bears him downward toward
the gulf of despair —and is unable to ex
tricate himself.
No such results as thine can come to
the furmer without a cause, and when
this cause is seen and understood it will
be removed, unless the fanners’ power
-in controlling legislation is forever de
parted.
There is no time for mincing matters.
The tmth must be told in language so
plain that the most unlettered can un
derstand it. The speaker said he was
speaking from a farmer’s standpoint,
and not as a partisan. No one could
deny his right to sjM'tik from a fanner’s
staud]Hjint, for he had been born and
reared upon a farm and had been en
gaged in actual farming all his life.
The real truth in a nutshell is the
dominant pow - er in federal legislation is
no longer iti the interest of agriculture,
but in the interest of the manufacturer
and capitalist. Here is the cause of all
our woe. Since our unfortunate civil
war began the capitalists and manu
facturers of the east have bad complete
sway in shaping legislation to their
great interest, profit and advantage, and
•t the exjiense of the farmers—the
wealth producers of the country. No
intelligent investigator can deny this.
The laws tliat have been passed prove
it. The results of the application of
those laws testify to it. While tha j
manufacturing interests, by the arti- j
filial aids they have received by legisla
tioa, have grown and increased to a
magnitude to startle people; while their
Investments have proved highly profit
able, and large dividends have been de- ,
rived therefrom, the farmers’ invest- [
ments anil profits therefrom hum gone
down as steadily as the others have gone
up, because it was from the farmers,
the real wealth producers and the con
sumers of their goods, that these large
profits have been derived. This country
cannot long stand this unjust—this un
natural drain.
The farmer is the sub-stratum of all
business prosperity. When he fails all
other business fulls with him. When he
prospers the sunshine of prosperity falls
upon all other business enterprises. But
he cannot prosper until all class legisla
tion is banished from our statutes. The
constitution nowhere gives the light to
one class to fatten off the other classes,
and the farmers are compelled to make
asqparu fight upon this issue, or this
process of depletiOfi will go on until they
become as poor and uniuflueutial as the
teiumtry of the nations of the old world.
Perhaps it is now too late to avert the
fate that awaits them. The power that
wealth gives in securing legislators and
legislation is lost to them. While the
fiQmers had the majority of the wealth
on their Bide they were invincible. Prior
to 1860 they-had tliat, while now they
have but 85 per cent left.
Until agriculture again becomes the
dominant power In legislation no real
prosperity need lie looked for. The mon
ey changers of the east will not release
their grip upon the pockets of the farm
ers. They will pour out their money
like water to keep up all the class legis
lation tliat exists on our statute liooks,
because they know by so doing it will
come hack to them with heavy interest.
They will freely contribute their ill got
ten gains to all congressional districts
where they have any hope of finding
men who, as representatives in congress,
will keep up the legislation by which
the farmer has been taxed and impover
ished during the last thirty years and
the capitalist enriched.
We regard agriculture as being five
times the value to this country as any
other one thing, and yet we don’t get
one-fifth the consideration others do. —

Nstluiwl farmers* League.
This body claims to be in a sense sup
plementary to the other farmers’ organ
izations and in harmony with all of
them. Many of its'members are alho
members of the Alliance or grange. The
league is organized for political pur
l»jees solely. This is its own sjiecifica
tion of its composition and objects:
"The Farmers' league is a non -secret,
independent, non-partisan organization,
in harmony with the Alliance, Wheel,
farmers' union, grange and kindred as
sociations, agricultural societies, farm
ers clubs and similar organizations.
But the league goes a step further. Its
object is the farmers' political welfare.
The work of the league is directed to
ward »ecuring a just representation a»4
| treatment of the agricultural interests
in congress and in the legislatures, and
due recognition of farmers in all public
affairs, without conflicting with the best
interests of the entire people. It con
sists of a national league and of state
leagues, w ith county anil town leagues.
The national league has general super
vision of the affairs of the Farmers’
league and the work of organization,
and attends specially to the farmers’

The following resolution has lieeri in
troduced liy Senator Call, lie being
moved thereto by the reports of contin
uations against the farmers in the north
west :
"That the* committee on interstate
commerce Im*, and they are hereby in
structed to inquire and report to the sen
ate whether any arrangements have been
made between the jiersons owning ele
vators and the transportation companies
in any of the western states, which will
have the effect or which are intended to
have the effect of preventing the storage
of grain anil of compelling the farmers
to sell their grain at such prices as may
Ire offered.
“To report by bill such legislation as
will require elevator companies and all
persons engaged in the business of stor
ing grain and other farm products for
interstate commerce to store such grain
and other farm product when offered, to
the extent of their capacity, on reason
able charges; and will prevent and pun
ish combinations between jk-isoiis en
gaged in such business, and transporta
tion companies or their agents which
have the effect and have been made or
shall be made, with the intent of forcing
farmers to sell their products, or in any
way to affect the market price of farm
products.”- Washington Telegram.

Another trust has collapsed, hut
strongly as farmers ure opposed to such
organizations they will hardly rejoice at
the downfall of this. It was a water
melon trust, which was started in Geor
gia and ruined in Chicago. It was to
handle the enormous melon crop of the
stute. The melons were to lie shipped
to duly accredited agents in all the large
cities of the northwest, and were to lie
sold wholesale at auction. The plan did
not suit the ideas of tiie local dealers in
the Windy City, and they quickly formed
a counter combination. When the first
Georgia melons were put up for sale
there was hut one hid for the entire lot
*—a ridiculously low one, too—and the i
melons hail to go at that. Then the trust |
smashers divided the shipment among 1
themselves and charged full prices to |
small dealers, realizing an immense j
profit. The plan was adopted elsewhere j
also, and as an inevitable result the i
melon trust ceased to exist. Of course '
there's a moral to this story—wliat is it? !

•fuy Opinion.
Jay Cooke, formerly an eminent hunk
er, said recently to George Alfred Town
send in an interview upon the silver
question: The public has lieen falsely
advised by the hankers. The farmer
only needs to understand the question ,
to put himself right once and forever, j
If I could see Senator Sherman, Sjx-uker
Reed and other men of my political
affiliation I would say to them, “Let that
senate hill pass.” I would say to the
president, "Sign that hill.” bur re
demption lies in undoing the wrong,
and, I believe, the conspiracy in which
the silver dollar was stricken out of the
coinage.
Hut the senate hill was rejected, and
under the dictation of the president and
house a compromise hill passed which is
very far from a free coinage hill, hut is a
hill satisfactory to the bankeir,. What
say the people?—American Grange Bul
letin.
An Ithica, N. Y., correspondent says:
••Take the town of Ulysses, in this
county. So far as soil and climate are
concerned a very garden of Eden for all
agricultural purposes, yet the jHipnlation
of the town has decreased nearly HI jier
cent, since 1880, while it is entirely with
in the truth to say that the selling value
of itk well cultivated and highly im
proved farms has decreased more than 85
per cent, within the same period. What
is true of the town of Ulysses is probably
true to a greater or less extent of every
purely agricultural town In the Twenty
eighth district.”
ALL UNDER ONE FLAG.
l’lif I'r4)ll(lt*t of the l'grmi rh' AUlaoca
Moots Itio Moa of the Northwest.
Col. L. L. I‘ulkj national president of
the Farmers' Alliance, has been making
a trip in his official capacity throu e tti the
states of the west and northwest, and
liis impressions, as set out in a letter to
Tho Progressive Farmer, of Raleigh, N.
C., should lie studied by every farmer in
tlie country. He says:
The people of the great northwest
were never more tlmroughly aroused to
their condition nor more determined to
have relief. They are profoundly im
pressed with the lielief that the farmers
and bread winners of the two sections
should unite ami make common cause
against a common evil. Earnest, deter
mined and enthusiastic as they are in
promoting the great principles of our
noble order, they have reached the con
clusion tliaf so long as tin* farmers of
the north and south are arrayed on sec
tional lines we can accomplish nothing.
To remaim divided is to remain helpless,
and they apjieal to the farmers of the
si mtli to covenant with them that hence
forth the wealth producers of the land
shall stand together for tho common
weal of a common country, and I believe
that from every state, every county and
•.very Alliance in the south will come a
hearty response to this appeal for unity
and fraternity.
A sectional organization, emhraciug
only the people or the states of a section,
will he powerless to obtain a redress of
wrongs inflicted by a power whose
agiS.cies permeate every nook and
corner of the whole land. Nothing
short of a grand liat’oiial organization,
standing under one flag, enduring to one
name, actuated by one purpose —the re
demption of the country from tile deadly
grasp of monopoly—can give us justice
;gd relief. I sincerely trust that the. Al-

To l&'-giilute Corporations.
W. A. McKcigUan said in accepting
the congressional nomination of the
fanners in the Second district of Ne
braska:
“I take it that you and I believe that
corporations created by virtue of the
laws of the state of Nebraska were cre
ated not for the sole lienefit of the incor
porators, hut ‘ for the public good, and
that the public good demands that these
corporations l>e subject to regulation and
control by the people of the state; that
schedules of freight rates and jmssengei
fares should be prepared for all tho rail
way lines within the state, and that
these rat<* should be so utlj listed as t<
allow those corporathms a fair and equi
table compensation for the money value
of their different lines anil a fair return
on the capital required to operate them.
To bring this about is a matter that you
must trust to the wisdom t)f the legislu
ture that you are about to elect. I l>e
licvo that congress should so amend anil
simplify the present interstate commerce
law that it will have some force in the
regulation of interstate commerce, and
will be made plain enough so that the
average citizen can understand some
thing of its provisions."
The average farmer of Color.ido will
not listen to the old threadbare tariff
harangue with as much credulity and
jiatieuce in the future as he lias iu the
past. He has come to conclude that pro
tection that doe's not protect is a mock
ery and a fraud. If there is anything on
earth that needs protection these days it
is farm produce.—Denver Field and

College students have peculiar cus
toms, some of which certainly could
not bo adopted by outsiders to advan
tage. In a certain New England col
lege, for instance, a favorite gala cos
tume some years ago was a linen
duster, a tall white hat and a pair of
top boots, a rig calculated neither for
wet nor ilrv weather, neither for heat
nor cold. In the same institution of
learning, immediately upon the ringing
of an alarm of fire, it was incumbent
upon every able bodied student to
throw open Ills window, thrust forth a
tin horn, and blow as if the fire fiend
was known to be as averse to the sound
of a tisli horn as were the college faculty
themselves.
Signs and door plates, numbers from
street doors and the gilded wooden
keys. Is Hits tuid watches customarily
displayed before shops were all looked
upon as most desirable, adornments for
a “student’s” sitting room. Happily
these and similar freaks of student life
are being weeded out, and the day is
at hand when even a collegian will not
be ashamed to behave like a gentle
man,* and leant to possess his soul In
