HARPER VALLER Props.
Thirty-tbreo years ago there lived
in a little Ohio town a miller. He
bad the confidence of the commun-
i y. In addition to his millirg busi
ness no did a great deal or contract
work. His employes were number
ed bv the score. He was a 'good-
hearted' man and a very 'popular'
citizen. His employes drew their
wages only as they needed money
There were no banks and the pop
ular citizen became the friend and
banker of widows and orphans who
inherited small estates. One day
there was a crash the popular cit
izen had failed in business. Of liab
ilities there were a p'enty. Of assets
none. The laborers widows and
orphans mourned their loss. Steph
en Cross came to Kansas. He found
ed the fortunes of an honored Em
poria family and now a grandson of
Stephrn CroKs. the most envied man
in the town and country everybody's
friend- supposed to be overbody's
creaitor in fact everbody's debtor
is a euiciue. A curious nemesis.
Troy Chief.
The Scarlet Mother of Monopolies
and Trusts.
The blooming lunatic wbo de
claims agtinst trusts and monopo-
lies while he stands for "protection"
is apparently a hopeless ctse. Pro-
tection is tbe mothei of trusts and
monopolies. Tbe gigantic concen-
trations of capital and power by
which the country is now threatened
are the children of McKingleyism
and Dingleyism. They prolong their
lives and power by the old old meth
od of liberty resorted to by the East
India company when it bought the
duke of Leeds for 2000 guineas and
later turned tbe naval forces of tbe
kingdom to its luses in forcing the
Chiieee te smoke its opium. There
is nd nation that has not been used
and looted by subsidize and pro-
tected plungers of this class. To
protect or to subsidized ono set of
citizens against citizens in other
lines is to create masters and slaves
in the commercial and industrial life
of the country. In such a state tbe
slave i is actually forced by the gov-
ernment to contribute tbe very
money used in keeping him in bond
age. His substance is extracted to
maintain the trusts by which be is
oppressed. The roan who stands for
pr6tection may not know it but in
standing for protection be stands for
trusts and monopolies and other hard
masters. There is only one remedy
for those diseasss of the body politic.
Liberty is tbe re iiedy. Leave men
free to buy and sell where they
please. This gives to all tbe benefits
of a worldwide competition. There
is Justice in nothing less. How any
intelligent American with tbe spirit
of self-reliance and liberty and fair
play in him can give his consent to
have this or tha: gang of politicans
control him in his buying and selling
is past finding out. It is quite as
diffiucult to understand just how any
sensible person can declare for pro-
tection while declaiming against the
monster trusts which owe their or-
igin and life to rich subsidies and
outrageous advantages and bene
fits that have been banded out to
them by their agents and attorneys
in high offices of state. As long as
Dingleyism lasts tbe people may ex
pect these highly-favored masters
to make prices both ways and to ap
ply even tbe law of supply and de
mand to suit their own interests. As
long as this method of rewarding
powerful party helpers is tolarated
tbe people may expect the grand
buyers of voters and sellers of pat-
ronage to control the government in
tbe interest of tbemselvei and of
their jobbers and dependents. The
man who permits bis greed to make
him blind to tbe dangers of this
method of interfering with the lib
erty and rights of the citizen will
certainly pay many prices for bis
selfishness in the end. After the
law-engendered trusts have crowded
him to the wall chased him cut of
business forced him to close the door
of his little shop and taken from him
the privilego of serving them as
cheap employe he may console - him
self if be can with tiie reflection that
he has stood up for the policy out of
which his oppressors have grown
and from which they derive the pow
er to crush him and other fools
his kind. He may be brought at the
last to realize that he has helped
create and to fatten tbe giganti
monsters by which tbe trade an
liberty and peace of the nation are
seriourly threatened and by which
his power to earn a living has been
greatly impaired or taken away.

Landlords Liens.
Editor Ardmoreite.
The many suits to forecloso land
lords' liens have caused roe to do
much thinking during tbe year just
passed.
I have not so much fault to find
with the law as I have with a system
of doing business which calls for such
legislation. Legislative bodies do
not pass laws without a reason for
them. Tho cause of the passage cf
the landlord's lien law of Arkansas
must bavo been largely poverty or
inability to pay and that wonton die-
regard of contracts or promises to
pay which follows discouragement
loss and undeserved failure.
The system of "furnishing" is a
very disastrous one to tbe farmer I
from a double Doint nf view. Ilnial
dependent when his contract
and feels his dependence
tract is a one-sided iff air. The safe-
guards are all on tbe other side. He
buys more;tban he would buy if he
paid cash and pays a higher price.
His market is limited for he con-
tracts to sell tbe first and best of bis
crop to tbe furnisher. He has no
hoice of markets. The furnisheer's
price is bis market price. If tbe let-
cr and spirit of bis contract ore not
faithfully observed a suit in court is
the result; and then bo not only pays
the costs and an attorney's fee but
has bought at a high ' price p.nd con
sumed goods to the amount of his
crop.
Farmers the real producers are
poorly equipped for good farming
and produce in a small way. Their
horses are poor and weak their im
plements old in style and ineffectual
for use; and the result is a poor crop
compared to what it ought to be
though it is produced at the cost of
a good crop.
A suit in attachment upon an or
dinary crcp in tbe Territory by the
time the custodian and other officers
are paid and tbe crop marketed
leaves scarcely enough to pay court
costs.
So far I have said enough to point
out the fact that I have a remedy to
suggest and I have. The evil can
not be eradicated in a i ingle year
but much can be done in that direc
tion. Tbe time for renting farms
will soon be at hand. This is the so
lution: Diversity of crops and pro
ducts. Cotton is too cheap for the
producer to rely on it to make money
anticipate the answer will be
This is a cotton country and tbe
farmer i unused to workine any
other crop. The farmer wbo can
raise good cotton can rai83 good
corn oats potatoes turnips eor
gbum and vegetables and with these
things can feed hogs cattle horses f
and mules; he can raise chickens!
turkeys and geese. All cotton or all
corn is not good farming.
Tbe farmer can be the most inde-
pendent man on earth if he wills it.
Here in the Territory he is the most
dependent of all tbe classes that in-
habit this country. Corn at 15 cents
per bushel fed to bogs with pork at
3 1-2 cents gross is marketing that
corn at 35 cents per bushel. G:oand
corn and hay fed to good cows with
butter at 25 cents per pound is 2-
cents a bushel for corn and 83.60 a
ton for hay on the farm.
Fatten more beef and pork raise
more oats wheat and corn buy less
on time; and you will pay less court
costs and wear better clothes.
