We hold these truths to be self-evi-
dent: that all men are created equal
(except inheritors of great wealth and
honorable titles.) That the rich and
cultured classes are endowed with cer-
tain divine, unalienable rights, that
among these are wealth, leisure, liberty
from the laws and the undisturbed pur-
suit of pleasure.
That to secure these rights govern-
ments are established over men, deriv

The farmer is often told, when he
complains of low prices, mat the dollar
now will buy so much more that it
makes no difference to him; that the In-
creased purchasing power of the dollar
compensates for the low prices of his
products.
The most remarkable thins about this
adivee is that it generally comes from
men who are drawing the same or
larger salaries than as paid twenty-
live years ago.
Twenty-five years ago we were pay-
ing our Congressmen J2.500; now we
pay them $5,000 and perquisites. Have
you ever heard a Congressman suggest
the Idea that because he could buy so
much more with the dollar now he
ought to have his salary reduced, as
the farmer has had his income re-

PRESIDENT CLAYTON.
They have passed state laws interfer-
ing with the speedy foreclosure of mort-
gages.
They have prevented the passage of
laws giving the bankers the power '0
coin money and regulate the value
thereof.
They deny the right of lawyers and
bankers to make all the laws.
They have elected Populist legisla-
tures, and sent farmers to congress.
They have organized labor unions to
dictate what wages corporations shall
pay.
They have endeavored to secure pub-
lic control of railroads, factories, tele-
graphs and banking institutions.
They have tried to prevent the im-
portation of foreign laborers and re-
fuse to obey the injunctions of capital's
courts.
They have walked on the grass, and
denounce the sacred gold reserve.
They have tried to levy an income
tax, and reduce the rate of interest.
They have endeavored to destroy
credit by creating enough money to do
a cash business.
They have talked about lynching
congressmen whom we had bought and
paid for in gold or sugar stocks.
National I)oht a lIleHning.
Evidently President Cleveland and
his secretary of the treasury believe
that a "national debt is a national
blessing." The present financial con-
dition of this country seems like a
dream. The citizen can scarcely grasp
the dismal reality. Only a few years
since the debt of the country was being
so rapidly paid that the national bank-
ers everywhere were discussing the
problem of what they were to do for a
basis of their banking system, while
the opponents of the system were re-
joicing that the bottom of the thing
was being steadily knocked out. But
the national banker has no fears at
present of losing the basis of
his grab game. There are plenty of
bonds and they have been steadily in-
creasing, with a good prospect of a still
further increase. There have been is-
sued by the present administration
bonds to the amount of $162,315,400, at
the high rate of four and five per cent
interest, $100,000 bearing the latter
rate. For the time these bonds are to
run—$100,000 for ten years and the re-
mainder for thirty years—they will
draw $128,528,480 interest. This added
to the principal makes an increase of
our national debt of $285,843,880. This
tribute to the madness of gold mono-
metallism ought to satisfy the most
rabid advocate of the horrible delusion.
If he alone had to pay we might well
allow him the enjoyment of his idiocy.
Unfortunately, the burden comes upon
all of us. If the government goes on
for the next two yea^g as it has for
the past two, we shall have an addi-
tional debt of nearly $600,000,000 sad-
dled upon us. Any man who is satis-
fied with any such prospect is dishonest
—dishqpest toward posterity, dishonest
toward his own children.—Farmers'
Voice.
of the products of the farm, and to
thus reduce the farmers' income, it is
right to reduce the income of all
classes.
If it is right to decrease the value ol
the farm and stock owned by the farm-
er, it is just as much right to dimin-
ish the value of bonds and notes owned
by the man who is not a producer.
The farmer who permits himself to
be honey-fugled into the belief thai
low prices does not hurt him, while he
cannot help but know that his teachers
reject the argument when applied to
themselves, is a bigger fool than
Thompson's colt. The farmer is sup-
posed to have a surplus over and above
that which he practically barters for
his living. He must have money to pay
his taxes, his doctor bills, and for
many other things that have suffered
no reduction of price. To get this
money he must sell his surplus pro-
ducts.
The more money he receives for his
products the easier he can meet these
bills. If the horde of politicians who
are yelling now for "sound money,"
which means dear money, will apply
the reduction to their salaries, to
bonds, notes, taxes, etc., we will be
"wid 'em." Until they show a disposi-
tion to do that they should be classed
where they belong—as demagogues.

Joe Poll tells tjie best fish lie of the
season, says the Piscatorial City Trib-
une. He says he caught a big string
of fish some days back, and brought
them to town alive. He sent them to a
young lady with his compliments. A
few days later he received this note
from the young lady: "Dear Joe— I am
at a loss what to do with those fish. I
asked papa what was the best way to
kill them. He told me drown them in
a tub of water. I have had them in wat-
er for three days and they are still
alive. What shall I do? Lovingly,
Blank." Joe says that as soon as he re-
covered from his faint he sent the
young lady a shotgun and told her to
shoot them.
ton."
The Farmers' National Congress em-
phatically asserts its non-political
character. In this, as in many other
things, it is unique among national
farmers' organizations in this country.
The men at its head say the bakers
and brewers and bankers and other
men meet in national assemblies to
discuss matters pertaining to their
welfare without getting into a fight
over the tariff or seeking to form a new
political party. Why not the farmers?
Hence, while the Farmers' National
Congress meets to discuss social and
economic questions that are insepara-
ble from politics In the higher sense,
partisan politics are not allowed to en-
ter into the discussion. It has no po-
litical platform, and it does not seek
to form a political party; and as by its
constitution its numbers are so limited
that it can not "control votes" (except
Indirectly, in which way it does influ-
ence many), it does not offer, fortunate-
ly for it, sufficient reward to draw to it
those politicians and demagogues that
have brought some other farmers' or-
ganizations into disrepute. As the del-
egates are not self-chosen nor selected
haphazard, but are appointed by the
highest state official, they are practical
farmers of unusual intelligence, ability
and commonsense, and prominent and
influential in agricultural affairs. The
fact that delegates must pay their own
expenses (for the congress, unwedded
to politics, has also taken a vow to eter-
nal poverty and has neither dues nor
salaries) weeds out any not worthily
and earnestly interested in agriculture.
Its restricted membership, its poverty,
and its non-political character have
making bodlra. Of coarse It ran not
escape thu discussion of political ques-
tions, but it approached them as farm-
era, and not as political partisans." In
an editorial on the same meeting, the
Souther* Cultivator said: "A distlnc- j
tive and promising feature of the Farm- j
ers' National Congress is that it is tru-
ly, in form and essence, national and j
non-partisan. Sectional lines cannot
be drawn, partisanship has no place In
its action, the unit labors for the good |
of the whole." The Farmer's Call pro- j
nouneed that meeting "the most im- j
portant agricultural meeting of the
year," and said: "Th delegates came
from Montana to Florida and
Texas to Maine. Such a body of
pledged aguinst political action, was
perforce actuated by patriotic motives,
and it is no surprise that the deliber-
ations of the congress were character-
ized by a high tone and distinguished
by patriotic motives." The statement
of the Indiana Farmer that "legislators
often declare that they are ready to
legislate for the farmers if they knew
what the farmers want, and they seem j
ready to take the resolutions adopted
by this body as representing the
wishes ol a majority of the farmers,"
and of tho Texas Farm-ami ltanch that
"It is expected that the wishes of the
great farming masses will be made |
known through this Farmers' National
Congress'' is doubtless true, and there-
fore tho action taken by it at Its last
meeting is not without interest. It
adopted resolutions In favor of silver
coinage by International agreement,
but voted down several resolutions In j
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver; It adopted a resolution In
favor of the voluntary arbitration of
labor disputes; in favor of the protec-
tion of farm products while manufac-
tured products arc protected; declaring
that the Interests of railroads and farm-
ers are identical, and denouncing the
attitude of certain demagogues and
farmers toward railways; heartily fav-
oring rural free mail delivery; calling
for the severe restriction of immigra-
gration; urging farmers to attend
primary political meetings; condemn-
ing the liquor traffic; urging farmers
to work to secure reform in the assess-
ment of property for taxation; and ask-
ing for laws to compel the branding of
all adulterated food products. Two
things were very noticeable through-
out the sessions of the congress—ab-
sence of the feeling that the farmer Is
a poor, down-trodden, abused creature,
and an anxiety that the congress should
lose no opportunity to express itself
in favor of law and order.
Having made the Farmers' National
Congress national, its officers propose
to enlarge its scope by admitting about
three hundred honorary delegates, hav-
ing all the privileges of the congress
except voting. Ten honorary delegates
will be sent by each of the following
bodies to the next annual meeting: The
National Association of Farm Machin-
ery Manufacturers and Carriage Build-
ers, the National Association of Agri-

A few days ago a merchant of Wis-
consin bought a load of Georgia water
melons which the Georgia dealer sold
for si* cents each. The railroads
charged seventeen cents each for trans-
portation and they were sold in Wis-
consin at twenty-five cents each, yield
ing the Wisconsin dealer a profit of two
cents each, provided there was no loss
in handling.
A little o\er a year ago a Georgia
man shipped a box of green peas to a
Chicago commission merchant, and by
mistake sent them by express. The
expressage was $1.25, and the peas
were sold for less than $1.00.
The writer once saw a car load of
coal started from a Pennsylvania mine
to a dealer in Nebraska, who thought
by purchasing of the producer direct to
serve his customers at a lower rate. Tho
Nebraska man wasn't in the "com-
bine," and his car load of coal bad to

to realize the usual dealer's profit.
Everybody knows how a bushel of
wheat or a pound of pork or beef in-

also true of vegetables, small fruits,

chased a small farm about fifty miles

; kept the Farmers' National Congress
free from the politician, the visionary
; and the charlatan, wliile the high char-
■ acter of the delegates, the pure motives
that their action has evidenced, and
their sensible and patriotic course,
have won for it a place in the esteem
and confidence of the mass of farmers
as exalted as the congress is unique in
Its character and objects.
| Commenting on the meeting at Par-
kersburg, the American Agriculturist
said: "The Farmers' National Congress
has always asserted its non-partisan,

Its assertion good. To this Is doubt-
less owing its great influence with law-
SECRETARY STAHL.
cultural Colleges, the American Horti-
cultural Society, the American Seeds-
men Association, the American Nur-
serymen's Association, the National
Grange, the National Dairy Union, and
the National Irrigation Association. In
addition, Mexico, the British provinces,
and the Central and South American
countries have been asked, through
their ministers at Washington, each to
send ten honorary delegates. The invi-
tations have met with a hearty response
and there will be in attendance from
these foreign countries some of their
brainiest and most prominent farmers
as delegates. Hence the meeting, which
will be held at Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 10, 11,
12, 14, 15 and 16 next, will be, both in
name and in fact, a Pan-American Ag-
ricultural Parliament. It will be pre-
ceded by a national irrigation parlia-
ment lasting three days, and be fol-
lowed by a national good roads parlia-
ment lasting three days. By special
act of the Georgia legislature these
meetings may be held in statehouse.
All farmers and those interested in
farming are welcome as spectators and
it is expected that the attendance at
some of the sessions will reach several
thousand, making outdoor meetings
necessary.
As some of the foreign countries have
just appointed delegates, the pro-
gramme is incomplete as yet, especially
that part of it to be taken by the for-
eign delegates. The discussion of Pan-
American agriculture will be opened by
Senor Romero, the Mexican minister.
A delegate from Argentine Republic
will discuss the future of wheat grow-
ing; a Brazilian delegate will open the
discussion on reciprocal tariffs and
farm products; the coinage of silver
discussion will be opened by Hon. Wm.

in the transaction, though there bs
nothing left besides.
In this exciting discussion over the
money question—the most important,
it must be admitted, of all economio
questions—we are apt to lose sight ol
the transportation question, and tha
urgent demand for governmental own-
ership and control of railroads especial-
ly.
Watermelons can be carried from
Georgia to Wisconsin by the car load
for three cents each, nnd the fourteen
cents thus saved divided between the
Georgia farmer and the Wisconsin con-
sumer.
California and Florida fruit can b«
laid down in the eastern market in a
way that will cheapen it at least one-
fourth in price at retail, and add as
much to ths selling price when leaving
the hands of the producer.
Pennsylvania and Ohio coal can b<
made to flood the western prairies al
times when most needed and at rates
far below the prices usually exacted.
But to accomplish these things thi
people must lay a strong and avenging
hand upon the throats of the robbei
combines and trusts that are fattening
upon the fruits of honest industry and
legitimate trade.
To do this requires that the trans-
portation plank of the Omaha platform
shall be enacted into law—the people
must own the railroads and othei
means of transportation.
Every enterprising merchant owns
and operates his own express and
freight teams. Uncle Sam has paid a
monopoly cut-throat gang to do hi!
hauling long enough.
The people pay the freight, and they
have the right to run their own con-
veyances, if they want to.
Crowd the transportation plank ol
the Omaha platform right along to the
front; let the people understand it, and
they will soon approve it and adopt it.
When the devil doesn't know what
else to do to kill the preaching he re-
moves the mask from some hypocrite.
What will be the next move, aftei
the raiders have got all the bonds they
want?
The retirement of the Greenback!
The paper money of the Government
is to be destroyed, and the monopoly of
issuing currency and of controlling its
volume is to be handed over to the
national bankers. Silver will be
token money only; gold will be the
money of reserves and final payment;
bank notes will be the currency of tho
business world, and the national bank
monopoly will set their own price upon
