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. farmers who stand back, the alliance, wait HOgit 1 Hm^holcling will benefit back | I $ °* l * lc or ‘ Cuinc <c, 1 1 jHrrank);—jqin I ■your neigh ■jfeajfcJn the iliti l a 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 his business by the credit Hben>, is generally very closely «ped for money If he be a rat ns soon ns his crop is gath »d marketed the merchant h been crediting him ever Blast season, presents him PHyv ■ bich lakes all the neon received, and he goes A Tf8oJvin 6 that next llgun no accounts, but is the same, the ■a g'tt hold upon Bfcytk loose from ’.exceeds 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. —Alliance Record. 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.
