There is no greater boom to the
farmers than a good brood mare if
she is only managed properly.
Farms have been paid for, morl
have been canceled and luxuries
have been enjoyed through the faith.
1'u! honest labor of a good mare or
two, that, together with doing a full
share or the farm work, raised a
good colt each year. Good mares
on the farm are bread winners if
jhoy are handled as they should be.
Cotton has again tumbled below
the cost of production: After the
first depression, said to be the re¬
sult of a panic; the price gradually
advanced uatil the shylocks discov¬
ered that the producers were hold
baok a good part of their crop for
an advance—and down the prbes
go again. It is a blushing commen¬
tary upon our financial system that
permits one class to oppress an¬
other class of our common citizen¬
ship: However; there is consola¬
tion in the fact that a day of retribu¬
tion is surely and speedily coming.
A bill has been introduced into
the legislature of Indiana providing
chat any man who shall be proven
guilty of whipping his wife shall
himself receive sixty lashes, and
that the public shall be admitted to
the jail yard to see him whipped.
'This law shoud pass. It would bo a
good thing if a similar statute were
enacied in every state. Fining a
-'brute who-is guilty of such a crime
is a light penalty. He shoud be
thrashed soundly. Wherever this
whipping penalty is enforced, it
has had the effect of greatly reduc¬
ing the number of wife beaters.
The Oroviile Register hits the
nail square on the head when it
says that a country newspaper is not
what the editors make it, but wha*
the business men of the community
make it. The local paper is rather
an index of its town than of its edi¬
tor. If the businessmen do not
assist, then the editor can do little.
The more stroDgly he is supported
the better becomes his paper. The
editor is held back or pushed ahead
by the business men of the town,
and it rests with them whether the
paper is doing its best for the com¬
munity or not. The paper repre¬
sents the town .more than the
individual, the locality more than
^the editor.

WHY IT IS NEEDED.
Whenever a tax is levied upon
the people for any purpose, eay« the
Herald-Journal, there is certain to
be more or less complaint. To an
extent, this is right, tor opposition
to taxation was the foundation of
the Republic. At the same time, it
m ust be remembered that a certain
amount of taxation is absolutely
necessary to the enforcement of the
laws ard the conduct of the govern¬
ment. It is also true that often the
levying of a small tax benefits the
people a hundred fold and sa*p them
many dollars.
This would be true of a tax levied
for the purpose of establishing a
permanent system of good public
roads. While no doubt many of
our best citizens shudder at the
very mention of the word tax, still,
if they should investigate the bene
fits which would come from the
levying of one specified above, they
would be heartily in favor of it.
To begin with there is no estimat¬
ing the direct loss which the farm¬
ers sustain every year on account of
bad roads* Wagons and buggies
wear out in a short time on account
of them; mules and horses are r<
duced in flesh and permantly in¬
jured, in oftentimes, in drawing
loads over the almost impassable
roads; crops are marketed only at a
great loss of time; and numerous
other positive losses are incurred as
the direct result of a bad system of
or public highways. In addition,
numerous crops, which would be
profitable adjuncts of any farm,
are not raised on account of the
inconvenience and expense of draw¬
ing them to market, All this
means a loss of dollars and cents to
the farmers which is far excess of
the heaviest tax that could be levied
for the mrintenance of the roads
We leave out entirely the personal
annoyance and the depridation in
value of lands on account of the
bad roads.
It is admitted by all that some
change of system in road working is
imperative. The plan has proved
a pluperfect failure. Instead of get¬
ting better, the roads are becoming
more and more impassable each
year, and the losses to the farmers
are piling up in corresponding pro¬
portion.
Is it not the part of economy and
wisdom to levy a tax in conjunction
with a commutation tax and have
the roads systematically, intelli¬
gently and thoroughly worked un¬
der the supervision of men experi¬
enced in such matters paid to doit,
and bonded for a faithful execution
of their obligations? We believe it
is, and we are satisfied if the farmers
will thoroughly discuss the matter;
weigh the losses and the taxation
carefully, they will agree with us
This is really a matter of moment
and we would he pleased to hear
from the people on this subject.
THE CREDIT.
Have you got a good credit? If
you have keep it so. Don’t let
any man have the least chance to
complain about your paying
The best way to do this is to never
run an account with any one. Pay
as you go. You can do it and you
will be surprised to see how it cuts
your expenses down.
There is not a farmer in the
country who cannot, if he will
work hard, have money to buy
whatever he may need, outside of
what he can raise on his farm, and
run no accounts. The credit sys
!em has been the ruin of many
good men, and is to-day disheart
ening and making rascals out of
men who would otherwise be per
fectly honest. The man, be he
merchant or farmer, who

Politicians vs. Farmers.
It is the politician against the far¬
mer, and the weal or woe of the
country depends on the issue. The
rule of the politician baa deluged
the country with bankruptcies cov¬
ered the farm with mortgages, filled
the land with tramps and brought
distrust and discouragement to the
people. The evident aim of nearly
all legislation is to perpetuate this
reign and continue the present sys¬
tem of spoliation. Within the next
few months there will be thousands
of this class going up and down
throughout the nation, haranguing
the people and seeking by every
possible means to fill their minds
with misinformation. They will
misrepresent the great farmers’
movement, defame its leaders, im¬
pugn its motives, misstate' its ob¬
jects and be little its power. Every
ad\ antage will be seized and a victo¬
ry ever the farmer will be consider¬
ed as a triumph over an enemy of
good government. It is hoped and
expected that every member of the
alliance will defend the order and
prove his loyalty by resenting all
unjust and unfair imputations.
Now is the time for every alliance
brother to assert his manhoed and
defy the power of the wily politician.

Hands Which Make the World
Happy.
But, after all, the hands that inter¬
est us most are the hands that we
love.
Thai is a good hand which is put
out to help some one who Las fallen
by the wayside.
That is good hand which knows
how to give heartily and freely.
That is a good hand whied is put
out to help you and me as we walk
along in life, when we feel that we
need somebody to protect ns.
That is a good band which never
wrote anything of which it was
ashamed, and which never put its
name to fraud or dishonesty.
That is a good hand which helps
along the sick and the weak, and
helpless and the poor.
That is a good hand which does
work well; whatever it may be wher
ever it may be, it doth not grow
weary, and it does its work so that
it is worth its wage.
Those who can, but through sel¬
fishness, refuse to build uphomein
dustries, when they get to heaven,
will be ashamed of the impression
they have left upon the hearts of
thsir fellow citizens.
