Our kind, paternal government stores bonds and gives the owners 90 per eent of the face in money, at 1 per cent interest. The farmers ask this same government to occasionally store non perishable products and give them 75 or 80 per cent, of the value at 2 per cent, interest. If the drones, who live off the labor of the workers, can be accommo¬ dated at a “government pawn shop;” if those who never produced enough in their whole lives to keep their worthless souls and bodies together a week can be furnished with storage for bonds and whisky, why cannot the producers of all wealth, the foundation allowed of the prosperity the of the lepublic, Why?” be same privilege? * Colonel L. L. Polk, the National Alli¬ ance president, has written Georgia’s governor a letter m which he commends him for refusing to take part in the recep¬ tion of Jay Gould. The letter is as fol¬ lows: Washington, D. C., Feb. 11, 1891. Governor W. J. Northen: My Dear Sir—Official dignity, when supported by the dignity itself of true manhood, always of the commends on the approval American people. Toadyism in official life they condemn and despise. Please accept the cordial grasp of my right hand, after reading your letter on the Gould reception, and accept my sincere wishes for the success of your hopes and prospects. and Yours very respectfully truly, L. L. Polk. * * The Southeast Enterprise (Popular Bluff, Mo.) says: “The Ripley County Farmers’ and Laborers' Union met in Doniphan last Friday and Saturday, and among much other business, unanimously adopted the platform of the National Farm-rs’Alliance and Industrial Union, formulated and adopted at Ocala, Fa. The sub-treasury plan was thoroughly discussed, and after the imaginary “Hall Chew” arguments were answered, it was unanimously adopted.” * * * The Farmers’ Alliance editors of Kan sas sas met met at at Hutchinson nutemnson a a few ie» da days vs a»o a^oana and orgamzed the Reformed Press association of Kansas. Resolutions were passed de manding the formation of a National Farmers’Alliance r is Alliance party, Dartv recommendino- recommen i „ an eternal severance from all other parties; demanding that all classes of labor be accorded equal privileges m the People’s party, and demanding the passage by congress of the service 1 pension bill. ^ * * Kansas Courier (Wichita Kud.) says: ‘J* UTe A1I ian( l e raform “ simply this.

Agricultural Department, Atlan ta, Ga, March 3,-Editor Constitution; I have had many inquiries Irom farmers in different sections of the state, asking j lor information in regard to the fertilizers, law re lating to the inspection legislature, of and passed by the the Ellington recent law. Permit known as me through the columns of your widely read paper to answer these questions and to state a few facts which are of interest and value to the farmers, generally. Un der the Ellington law, now in force, the farmer can, if he choose require the seller to draw' samples in the presence of wit nesses, place the same in bottles with the manufacturers guaranteed analysis on the label, seal the bottles securely ! and P lace in charge of the j ordinary. lizer, the farmer If, after has testing to the suspect ferti¬ reason that the qualities are not such as he was led to believe, he can have the sam¬ ple bottles which were left with the ordi¬ nary, sent to the State chemist, and his official auualysis well be accepted as evi dence in any court in the State. Under this law, the inspections made by the de¬ partment, which are as thorough as wo can make them with the force now at our command, the sharp competition existing among the various manufacturers of these goods and the close margins, the farmer has a fair chance ror that protection, which he needs. And in this connection I would say to the farmers, in whose ranks I have struggled dutde for nearly sixty 1 years, that I Hive five it a point to ex amine very closely the system under which these goods are prepared. I have visited several large manufactories, and, in person^ inspected and the methods of preparation, I must say that the quality of the various ingredients used the composition of these goods, the thorough nmiiuer in which they are manipulated and mixed, thc condition they preseut when ready for shipment, all impressed me most favorably. Let the farmers understand, however, that to secure protection which the framers of the Ellington law have in¬ tended, they must comply with the con¬ ditions to which I have above called their attention. Let them lesseu the acreage, prepare thc land deeply and thoroughly, ! . ncreace tbe , am ™ nt . of . fertl , U f r > cltbar ... ‘“composts or the commercial . brands cultivate rapidly and systematically and the results wlll > 1 tru *> brlD S badness and sunshine to our homes.
