■;ale by McClendon & Co.
A Financial Scheme Brought Ileforo Con
gress-Extracts from the Preamble.
Mr. McClamiuv, of North Carolina, is
one of the half dozen farmer congress
men of this honse. He is a zealous Alli
ance man. Reren tly he gave evidence of
that zeal by introducing and indorsing
the most remarkable financial scheme
yet brought before congress. This meas
ure provides “for the issuing of legal
tenders based on the lands of the United
States and the allotment of the same.”
The proposition is that the government
shall issue legal tender notes to the
amount of $30 for each man, woman
and child in the country. The money
is to be turned over to the states in pro
portion to the population, and the states
are to loan it. at 1 per cent, upon real es
tate only. Counties and townships are
to have their shareR, apportioned accord
ing to the number of inhabitants. The
interest derived from the 1 per cent, will
go to the school funds. No loan is to
exceed $2,500.
In presenting this bill Farmer Mc-
Clammy stated to the house that it was
“indorsed by every Farmers' Alliance in
the country.” After declaring that the
land is full security for this issue of legal
tenders the preamble proceeds:
“When this parental government of
ours considered its dignity insulted, mid
called on its children to surrender to the
parent the dearest of all earthly posses
sions, liberty and life, with child like
obedience the people went at the parent's
call: for the time being they gave up
their liberty, they endured privations,
suffered discomforts such as only the
soldier knows, and thousands of the peo
ple, from Bunker Hill to the last Indian
campaign, lost limb or life to save the
parent, the government. 'These patriotic
children yearned for wealth, for the com
forts and joys of home, but they loved
the government more than all these,
more than life; surely, then, whatever
we have, all that we are, we owe to the
people.
"Thousands of our people cannot find
employment; millions are working for a
bare pittuuce on field or farm, in factory
or mine: the mothers of the sons of the
republic are stitching, starving in our
city garrets; the sturdy farmer, who in
the pust has been our boast, comes to
congress in person and petition telling
his sufferings, his losses, how, work
ever so hard, yet he cannot save the
home where his children wore horn; our
Bisters, wives and mothers by petition
uppeal to you to aid them; they, too,
have economized at every turn; they
have for yours known not of-luxury; for
other years want has stared them in the
face, and we ask of you, our representa
tives, who is benefited by all this suffer-
g and waut?
"We beg of you on your return home
to visit, not your wealthy friends in the
cities, but instead go rather to the house
of the honest laborer, who has hut little
food, and that the poorest, to give his
little ones; we beg of you to go among
the farmers, not among those who are
known as *10 per cents,' who grind the
poor even worse than the shylocks; wi-
nsk of you to go among those that toil in
factory, farm or mine, not those who
live on others' toil, and then say who is
benefited by all the want and misery
you will have seen. The shylock may
accumulate more property, but will he
be benefited thereby?
“As individuals, by brooding over
wrongs, grow insane, so donations. Let
France during her revolution illustrate
the case. Shylocks will not he benefited
if Anarchists are evolved by all this suf
fering and want.
“Annies have never and will nevei
hold in abeyance the red hand when the
people grow infuriated and insane. The
farmer, the laborer, our wives and
mothers appeal to you to aid us while yet
you may. We have in the past shown
our devotion to the government; we usk
that the government shall now show
the same devotion to us: that you shall
extend the same aid to us that we have
in the past extended to the governtnent.
In 1774 and 1775 our then parent govern
ment heeded not our prayers, our peti
tions. Will you not profit by their mis
takes?
“We come to you with the best se
curity that God has given ns. a security
that needs no custodian—our lands—and
ask you to give us a currency based on
these lands, and that the currency so
given shall be a legal tender for public
and private dues. We ask of you to is
sue us currency to supply our needs, and
we offer $35,000,000,000 real taxable se
curity. But as individual indorsers we
propose to secure the state school fund
by ^5,000,000.000 real property. If this
country really belongs to the people
then we ask that the amount provided
for be divided pro rata to the states for
the people, for their use and benefit-
“Of late we. flie people, have heard
much of the constitution. We ask you
who made it—did congress or the people?
Is the created superior to the creator?
But why this unusual love? On the one
hand in 18C0 this love, this devotion did
not prevent very many from doing what
they thought was best for their people
but unheard of in the constitution.”—
Washington Letter.
The Farmer as a Target.
In the last number of The Now Eng
lander Professor W. H. Brewer, who
holds the Norton professorship of agri
culture at Yale university, lias an article
deploring the growing tendency to re
gard the American farmers as a degraded
and ignorant class. To prove that this
tendency exists Professor Brewer cites,
among other evidences, the increasing
volleys of humor shot by the "funny
men" of the newspapers at the farmers,
and in general the derisive treatment
that the farmer is receiving from the
writers in our journalism, particularly
through New England. All this, in Pro
fessor Brewer’s opinion, Is chiefly the
outcome of the grafting on American
opinion of the foreign idea of the fanner.
Professor Brewer points out the old
view of the farmers in Eurojte as a de
graded class, and the origin of the word>
“churl,” “villein" and “peasantry” it.
feudal or later times. Immigration o‘
foreigners to our eastern cities, and the
ideas they have infused into public opin
ion through the newspapers, have, in
his belief, created quite a wrong itnpres
sion of the real condition of the Airnri
can farmer—of the social position that
he rightfully holds and of his solid trait
of character.
The point raised by Professor Brewer
is an interesting one,and is expanded skill
fully in his article. But lie probably
much overestimates—at least we should
say so as a mutter of observation—the
influence Which the imported writer or
imported ideas exert in forming the
popular conception of the American
farmers as a class.—New York Post.
Federate* Federate.
Rej«lers will recall the proposed co
operation between the farmers' and la-
bor organizations in Illinois. The resnlt
of the convention made up of delegates
from such organizations is set forth in
the following resolutions:
We, the representatives of the agri
cultural and labor organizations of the
state of Illinois, in conference met, ex
press ourselves in unmistakable terms
that our future success and welfare must
depend on concerted action, and that we
recommend to the different organizations
as their representatives that steps should
be taken as speedily as possible to ac
complish a consolidation or confedera
tion of the same.—Grange Bulletin.
A Jefferson City special to The Kansas
City Times says: "It looks very mnch as
though the farmers of Missouri are about
to have their innings: they are pluying a
big hand in politics, and from present in-
ditarloi.s there wili lx- a great man >■
funnels i:i the im ;.t legislature.”
There Is I.tght Ahead.
I believe wo aro nearing the dawn ol
a brighter and better day for our ix‘o-
pie. The struggle lias been a long one,
and the road has been rough and un
even. Let us not grow weary in well
doing or faint by the way, for we will
succeed if wo but “hope and persevere.''
I believe that the dark cloud that has
hung over our moral horizon for years,
and seemed to shut out every ray ol
hope to a suffering and long oppressed
people, has a silver lining, and from bo-
hind its dark sun light is dawning on the
sons of toil. Therefore, brethren, let us
gird on our armor, renew our faith,
strengthen our good resolve and press the
battle to the very gates of the enemy’s
stronghold, and never think of giving
up until perfect and complete victory
is obtained.
Whenever an honest, toiling people
has been oppressed beyond measure then
they have been relieved—that is when
they sought relief as they should and as
it was their duty to do. It has been ro
from the beginning.
All of the burden under which the
votaries of agriculture groan today are
the results of willful neglect of duty on
their part. Atid now that these burdens
are becoming intolerable, and seriously
threatening the happiness and welfare of
our children, let us turn from tho error
of our ways, avail ourselves of the means
that are at'our command, and a Moses
will come to lead us out.—Texas State
Lecturer Kellar in Texus Farmer.
A Quasi loan file Opinion.
A movement 1ms been started to or
ganize the farmers of Pennsylvania in
the National Farmers' Alliance. Such
organizations are capable of doing much
good, but politics usually act as a blight
upon them. Tho moment they fall under
the control of demagogues, who seek to
uso them for their own political ad
vancement, their power for good iH gone.
The Patrons of Husbandry had that ex
perience, but, having profited by it, suc
ceeded with reduced numbers in pro
moting the material interests of those
who remained in the order, through the
medium of schools, lectures, fairs and
agencies for the purchase of goods. As
a political power, however, the Patrons
of Husbandry never accomplished any
thing more than to give tho old party
managers a scare, from which they soon
recovered, except that in a few western
states they gained power. If the Fann
ers’ Alliance can keep clear of politics,
which is very doubtful, it may become a
power for good in the land.—Philadel
phia Ledger.
Tlteir Conviction.
We have been compelled to pay 79 and
a fraction per cent, of the state taxes.
Labor has been heavily taxed and re
duced to what is termed, and we believe
to be, starvation prices.
We are all heavily taxed and have no
representation of our own selection. Our
petitions to former legislatures, largely
composed of bankers and lawyers, have
been disregarded or entirely ignored.
We are convinced our only redress for
existing wrongs must come through
legislation. We aro also firm in the con
viction that bankers and lawyers are not
proper persons to represent the interests
of agriculture and labor.—Illinois Grange
Manifesto.
New England Farm*.
The announcement of the wholesale
abandonment of fanning lands in some
parts of New England was received at
first with some incredulity. The state
of Vermont has undertaken, however, to
secure reliable statistics on the subject,
and the result of the investigation shows
a surprising condition of affairs. One
thousand farms, aggregating one hun
dred and eighteen thousand acres, have
been practically abandoned, and can he
bought at from three dollars to five dol
lars pier acre.—Louisville Courier-Jour

To Borrow from English Capitalists.
A dispatch from St. Paul, Minn., to
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch contains
the statement that at a meeting of the
executive committee of the Minnesota
State alliance a scheme was considered
for securing large loans from English
syndicate capitalists at low rates of in
terest. The syndicate offered 6 percent.,
but the Alliance wants 5 pier cent, and
gave the syndicate thirty days to come to
that figure.
It is estimated that the farming ele
ment in the United States comprises 51
per cent, of the population.
