The movement now is t The general came down Saturday | pie 2 one 2 ch are over-| | night to meet congressman Stone on | crowded. Wealth is concentrated | in the hands of capitalists and cor- | porations. Railroads and “trusts” have the call. Investment ao | nies are found throughout the land for loaning the surplus money of monopolists to the struggling agri- culturists of the west. The most universal of modern farm improve- ments is the mortgage. The farm- ers of to-day, as a class, are the lardest workers, and, aside from a few rich cattle companies and ab- sentee landlords, they live from hand to mouth, frequently running behind, borrowing money when they can, and struggling constantly to meet the interest on their mortgages and to save their homesteads from being sold out under the hammer. What is the explanation of this radical change of conditions? The period of agricultural pros- perity was under alow tariff. The period of agricultural depression has been under a high tariff. This is not a mere coincidence. The cause and effect can be easily traced. The great natural resources of this country are still to be in its ag- ricultural products. But the price of these products is fixed abroad, because the price of the surplus fix- es the value of the crops. Under the system of exclusion instituted by a protective tariff, the world buys only so much of the American surplus of grain as it is compelled to have to avoid starvation after bending all its energies to grow what old and worn out land can be made to produce. The European purchasers are compelled to limit their purchases and the prices they pay for America’s surplus crops because they are hampered in ex- changes. Their own products are excluded from the United States as far as pessible by the exclusive du- ties imposed upon them. While the farmer is thus impelled to meet the most rigid terms in the disposal of his crops, he is at the same time compelled to pay the highest prices for everything which he needs. He pays not merely the taxes exacted by the customs system of the gov- ernment but the bounties which the home manufacturers are enabled to exact from him because they are protected from competition. He pays taxes and bounties on the lum- ber in his houses and fences, on his window glass, on his furniture, on his agricultural implements, on his farm tools, on the very salt with which he seasons his food, on his blankets, on the clothing necessary to keep hjmself, his wife and his children from the cold, on pretty much everything he wears and uses in his daily life. This unfair system of discrimina- tion has crowded the farmer into a eondition of chronic impecuniosity. His necessities have still further made him the defendant of the mo- nopolis. Hehas become a borrower. Formerly he waa not only a deposi- tor but a stock-holder in the banks throughout the country. To-day the banking capital, the trust capi- tal, the investment capital is furnish- ed by the wealthy manufacturers and monopolists who have been “protected” in the accumulation of great fortunes. The natural yield and profit of the farmer have been extorted from him by discrimination and tribute, and now his own money is loaned back to him at 8, 10 and even 12 per cent bythe barons who have fattened upon the richness of his land and the product of his in- cessant toil. isn’t it about time that the agri- culturists of this country should be- gin to study its economic system, and enquire whether they. represent \a business matter, and was here only ;a few hours. His appearance is | auch the sawe as of old. The same —— bearing, that used to mark | him among a thousand, charaeterizes jhim stil. He is portlier than when | a debonsir eavalry leader, and there jare wauy wlver threads in his hair, | but the clerr, brave blue eyes are just the same, the clean cut features are just the same, aud the hearty hand clusp ard kindly voice are just the same. In the esurse of a few minutes’ talk with x Mail representative al- lusio:: was inade to the fact of his foruwr resideuce at Lexington, Ky. “TI was raised at Lexington,” said the general, “and my mother still resides there. So, also does the mother of the confederate general, Jobu Morgan. They are close neigh- bors, and both are ever eighty years of age, now. “Yes, John and I were boys to- gether, attended the same school to- gether, played together and, in fact, were raised together. I remember well the last time I ever saw John at his home. It was just at the be- ginning of the war. Iwas in Lex- ington at the time and was starting to Louisville. He had raised a compa- ny of men and everything was ready for the start south. But he needed gun eaps and asked me to get them forhim at Louisville. You know thay had the old time Enfield ritles or muskets on which were what was known as hat caps. Well, I tried to get them in Lou- isville and d. But when I got to St. Louis I went to a gunsmith, whom I knew well, and he secured fifty thousand for me. used Thad them packed in a copper box, which was in turn placed in a wooden box and dirt packed around it. This box was placed in a still larger box which was also filled with dirt and in the dirt I had a lot of flowers planted. The whole thing was then shipped to a designated point and got through in safety. So John got his fifty thousand hat caps and went to the wars.”—Nevada Mail. “*al! ether goods by fortune’s hand {s given, | A wife is the pecular gift of heaven.’’ Is your wife changed and your home unhappy Does she go about with gloom on her face and do you see no more the smile that won. you?

Where are tie Rich Farmers? It is within easy recollection of ; men not yet passed middle age that the farmers were once the rich men | of this country. Outside of a very few residentsof New York, Philla- delphia and Boston, conspicuous by jreason of the smallness of their | number, the presperous classes were the agricultual classes. Everywhere throughout. the country were evi- dences of increasing wealth. The farm houses were large, spacious and comfortable. The most gener- | ous provisions were made for stock. | The barns and outhouses and grain- | efies were vast and substantial. The farmers came to the county seat with well stuffed wallets to pay their | taxes, make their purchases or de- | posit their surplus in bank. If a | business man had occasion to bor- row money he would go tothe well to-do farmers of the neighborhood ‘and would rarely return empty- {handed. Cotton was king at the south, and corn was king at the north. Agriculture was universally regarded as the basis of America’s prosperity and the guarantee of the future development of the country.

At 10:30 last evening, on East Main street, three negroes followed George Rector, of Georgetown, sev- eral blocks. 1 One of the trio, Press- y Sheely, was d with a huge d the hoodlums to go their way, but Sheeley ran at him with an uplifted club, and was shot dead in his tracks. Chief Prentice and his foree say that the dead negro provoked the trouble, and that Rector could do nothing but defend himself. Mr. Rector gave himself up to Sheriff Bowers. He regrets the killing but was compelled to save his own life. At 10:10 Halleck Jennings, of Houstonia, a young farmer, was struck with a club in the hands of an unknown man, at the corner of Osage and Main streets. Jenning’s condition was precarious at a late hour last night. During the speaking at the park, Albert King, son of Dr. Willis P. King, a member of the democratic drum corps, was struck on the head by a boulder. hurled by a scoun- drel on the outskirts of the crowd. Young King was taken to his home. At the corner of Main and Ohio streets at 9:05 p. m. a young man named Dillard, residing near George- town, was pounced upon by two men, because he resented an insult elub. Rector orde given to ayoung lady by two negro Dillard was severely bruised about the head and shoul- ders. women. “OLD MACE” ATTACKED, “Old Mace,” the body servant of ex-President Franklin Pierce, came up with the Nevada boys, and carri- ed a bandana banner. A large num- ber of colored men gathered about him, at the corner of Ohio and Third streets, jeered, hooted at him and finally made hostile demonstra- tions. Two or three of the Nevada boys rushed to the old man’s assist- ance, and one of their number was knocked senseless with a bludgeon. The injured man rallied. and fifteen or twenty of the yisitors armed themselves and announced that they would protect “Old Mace” if it cost them their lives. OLD MAN CRAIG BEATEN.

New Orleans, Oct. 8.—Workimen began last week demolishing the United States building in Royal, be- tween Dumaine and St. Phillips. This was one of the buildings turn- ed over by the French at the trans- fer of Louisiana in 1863 and was oc- cupied as the United States distriet circuit court for many years. In this building Judge Dumaine O. Hall sat when he issued the bench warrant for the arrest of General Jackson for contempt of court in re- fusing to obey a writ of habeas cor- pus, and here the victorious general was brought by the United States marshal toanswertherefor. He was fined $1,000 by the presiding judge, filled out his check and passed it over to the clerk and was discharged. The building was small and not suit- ed for the growing city and in 1825 president John Quincy Adams or- | dered its sale and auction. When \ the property ceased to be a court |house it was transformed into a | school heuse. Afterward it was oc- | cupied es a furniture store for over | forty years.

OR ASt. Joseph Mail Carrier Connnitted for Desrtoying Letters. United States Deputy Marshal J. E. Gates arrived in this city this morning, having in custody Frank Zipf,a mail carrier of St. Joseph, who is charged with robbing and de- stroyiug the United States mail. For the past two months residents in South St. Joseph had not receiv- ed their letters and a watch was kept on Zipf. Over a bushel of let ters Was found in a vault, some de- stroyed and others not yet opened. Zipf used to daily frequent the place where the letters were found. The complaints of the citizens to Postmaster Evans led that official to investigate Kipf's conduct and he was taken off the carrier's depart- ment. As soon as Zipf found he was discovered, he hastened home, took off his uniform, and informed his wife he was going to court, and didn’t know when he would return. Zipf was arrested last night while he was returning home. He was brought before United States Com- missioner Childs this morning and committed to the Second street jail and his examination set for 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. As Zipf was arrested on a justice’s warrant, he was recommitted by the commis- sioner to avoid a habeas corpus pro- ceedings. He is a respectable look- ing man about 40 years of age and has a wife and three children. Whether Zipf committed the fel- onies for purposes of robbery or from sheer laziness to carry and distribute the mail is not The postal officials think the latter motive the proper one.

Two wecks ago Joe Haley, a Times compositor, bet $25 with Joe W. McCann, a famous local type- setter, that he could not set and correct 2000 ems of solid nonpareil type in one hour. McCann snapped at the bet. He came up into the Sun composing room yesterday morning, and, in the presence of E. A. Donaldsen, the veteran foreman of the Times office, tackled the prac- tical ond of the wager. Aaron Hay- ward, a Sun compositor, watched the type-setting as official time-keep- er. The match against time began at 1:15 o'clock exactly, and at 2:15 Foreman Donaldson discovered that McCann had set exactly 2103 ems of corrected type. The $25 was ac- cordingly handed over to him..
