The politician is working for votes and : success at the polls. and he does not possess the courage to advocate anythmg _ which * does not already enjoy some measure of popular favor. The truth of this. proposition appears - abundantly in the legislative history.of the past thirty years. Though the grangers and the " Farmers’ Alliance and the People’s party have ceased to exist as separate organiz- ations, yet a large part of the program and the platforms they advocated has become the law of the land. WHAT FARMERS HAVE WRITTEN: INTO LAW OF THE LAND The platform of the People’s party of 1884 contained the following interesting - plank. “We demand congressional regu- lation of interstate commerce. We denounce poolmg, stock watering and discrimination in rates and charges and demand that congress shall correct these abuses, even if necessary by the construc- tion of mnational railroads * * * We demand a graduated income tax * * * We condemn the 1mportatxon of contract * lJabor.” In the same platform this party also demanded sanitary laws for industrial establishments, inspection of mines and factories, the abolition of child labor, and the reduction of the hours of labor in industrial” establishment. - In . the plat- form of 1892 the People’s party favored among other things, civil service reform, a sound and flexible national currency, an income tax; a government postal savings bank: In 1896 the People’s. party favored the following among other things, initiative and referendum, and the abolition. of indirect contempt and the use of the m]\mctlon in such cases. This party also demanded that the United States senators be: elected by direct vote _of the people. S Z REFORMS ONCE “RADICAL" . ARE NOW ACCEPTED The reforms. above . enumerated were deemed dangerous. and radical—in. the * extreme when first advocated, and yet each one of them has now become an accomplished fact, either in the nation or gmong some or all. of the states of the union. . - ‘What have these movements for organ- ization among the farmers accomplished ? Through the agltatlon commenced by-the promoters of organization among farmers and because of - the . education ‘which _resulted from such agitation we find today an income - tax law upon ‘our ‘statute books, Umted States senators elected by direct yote of the people, the _initiative and the referendum how a part . of our system of state government, and the chief of the department of agri- culture is now a cabinet officer in ‘Wash~ ington; that agricultural colleges and - experiment stations' were established as a result of this movement, and. rural mail routes now extend like a network . over- the land enabling the farmers to read the papers and get their mail with" a facility about equal to that of our. urban : population. To this movement we may also trace the laws regulating the sale of oleo- margerine, a substitute for butter, ballot. reform laws, of the laws regulatmg com- mon carriers in the atate and ‘in the nation. : A direct resultiof fixe granger mov ent bu;nc o rica,” writes the The Farmer Pomts Out the Way ~affected le:t't no sflme unturned to break - " down and defeat the efforts of the agri- cultural interests - of the country to' remove the abuses that' had crept into : the transportation = business = of “the country and to secure to the small ship- per equal treatment by the carriers with the large monopolist.

I mean the great out- standing ‘truth that after all, at least in- our agncultural states, the agn‘éultura.l class is the only class, which through - combination and co-operation can bring about changes and reforms of practically any character, if they will stand together. ' 4 The farmers are, of course, the most § numerous class and therefore in our Republican form of government hold in their hands the: balance of power. - This thought, to my mmd contains in itself on. the one hand an element of warning to vested interests and on the other, a sobering element as far as this large class of our citizens is concerned. It should warn “the so-called ‘vested interests to. use the power that inheres in the posses- sion of organized wealth with discretion and justiee, not to secure favors and special privileges ' from the legislature . or judicial branches of the government to the detriment of the agncultural interests of the country; and it is sober- - ing to the agricultural class and should -impel them when they choose to-exercise the tremendous power. they possess to act with justice and moderation. ... > . _E.COBBCO. ela East- nhd Street Paul, - pay eru us-for pflcu on turkeys.
