CAN'T CHANGE THEIR SPOYS Bulldozing Bonrtoas of the South Playing Populists for 8nckers All Over. BECAUSE A UNION SOLDIER STONED Fus People's the De Soath I the A Howling Farce in Georgly Won't Hold the Sack, erncy Won't Play-1he Wil Vote 1L Fought. Party ns of people’s the state party in M. D. Irwin, chairman committee of the Georgin, issued a manifesto in thet atate in which he compared the recent gcenes in Georgia to what occurred in France at the time of the revolution The following paragraphs are culled from the documen A State of Cha Georgin is in a state of chs scones onacted in Cieorgia du month of Suptember aro only of revolutionary ¥ % v vefore the erisis process is came. Tue “howling down” the forerunner of the ‘‘counting out” process. Vehement rage prov wher- ever peopie’s party speakers obtain a hearing. Where they have orators of fine ability, the mob is encouraged to howl down the orator and te gen- eral confusfon. In country places bot- tor order is maintained, but in cities thero is disgraceful conduct and most unfuir behavior as a rule General Weaver’s treatment in Georgia is n di grace to the state and the nation. Gen- eral Weaver was maltreatéd because he wns a union soldier and oboyed the commands of his superior officer in authority. This conduct is not only disgraceful and revolutionary, but it is dangerous. It will bring its inovitable result. Next winter when drunken hoodlums and foul-mouthed Cieveland- 1tes have eaten and drunk up the monoy that has been paid them to disgrace themselves and the s this disorderly conduct and these attacks on a federal goneral in time of peace will doubtless become matters of federal investigation. If Georgin had a governor worth a cont, the disgraceful antics of the drunken mob al Macon and at Albany would have been prompily rebulked, even if it had taken the military to do it But when rotten eggs were collected in the capitol of Gec to ho ready for General Weaver and his wife, and Governor Northen took possession of the meeting to make a Northen demon- stration, after C eral Weaver declined to expose his noble wife to the filth and stonch of the state capitol, this execu- tive is nece: ily held responsible for the supprossion "of free speccn in the capitol of Georgia. The times ure ominous. They re- semble the days that preceded the civil will be bloodshed and death unless there is a change, Turn-Coat Democrits. The rotten egg that was hurled at tho i eral Weaver in Macon is nnon shot that was heard around the world—it will be heard from in more places than is now expected. It will not down. It was an insult to the intelligonce of Georgin, It was also an insult to the farmers wko were taxed to build the capitol—that their candidates were shut out in Atlanta, becauso of Governor Northen’s antipathy to Gen- eral Weaver's followers in Georgia. It isan insult to the laboring and produc- ing classes, that no man can be given a quiet and respectful hearing unless he belongs to Governor Novthen’s political party; for it is a well known fact that gungs of yelling hoodlums ure trans- ported from speaking pla to spenking place to howl down the people’s party speakers and to cheer the Clevelandites. On ordinary oceasions this can be tolerated, but when the capitol of Georgia is turned over to Governor Northen’s friends, and the friends of the people’s party are rotten-egged—then has come the time to assert the rights of freemen and put a faiver man in Gov- ernor Northen’s place. Tho people’s p.m\ Northen from raised Governor pbscurity and gave him vrominence, Nine-tenfhs of the alliance in Georgia are members of the people’s party. Willinm J. Northen advocated the subtr . government, ownership of railroads, as well as all the ten- ots of the people’s party. He would never have risen above his nat- ural mediocrity unless ho had been an allinnce man and taken the obligation that alliance men take. He was elected 1wo yours ngo as an alliance man and not as n democ Livingston van as an alliance man opposed to Stewart as o democrat. [t was allinnce doctrine as opposed to democracy that these alli- ance men, each and severally, adopted Not until Governor Northen was taken up into the mountain did he betray the alliance that made him and supported him. A mun that would thus betray a constituency to whom he was bound” by ties that no honorablo man would veck- lessly break is unworthy of trust. He will betruy any other party when oppor- tunity is offcred. Another Traitor, William J orthen tells the people to “strike down theiwr wives, strike down their children, strike down their homes, but never strike down the grand old democratic purty.” Ten thousand al- linnce men in the state of Georgia can bear witness that two years ugo he was any equally anxious to sirike down party that was striking down the striking down the children and strik down the homes of ( in farmers. Leonidas Livingston is the man who, one year ago, was the chosen companion of General Weaver, Congressman Jery, Simpson and Mrs. lease. He is the man who brought them to Georgian— who encouraged them to come to Georgin us exponents of the peopla’s party. He told General Weaver he would support him as the candidate for the presidency oo that issue. He did move thau any living man to induce the revolt in Georgia agaivst the demo- ecratic purty. No man denounced the intolerance. the injustice, the unfair- ness of democratic methods more violently. As president of the farmers alliance, he became the head and front of the revolt. Less than a year ngo he was denouncing ver Clevelund s unworthy of the support of tho furmers of Georgis. Yot this man has been turned into o rabid zeaiot for Cleveland. To denounce the farmers of Georgia who now opposo him is his meat and drink., He has, like Northen, hecome the representative of the bulldozing, egg-throwing, howling, unfair aud un- just democrats, whoaim to provent the ple’s party from gotting a decent K:rlngon the hustings. T ms«huu;,u means more than appears on tho sur- fuce. Tosum up the dangers that threaten the people of Georgiu at the approach- lu¢ state election, there is one fact ly apparent, that these traitors to 0 alliance are not to be trusted lonyg: ln the promivent positions they are now holding. Govurnur Northen has shown hiwself be requested or entreated by the gov- ernor 1o send ammunition to shoot down the free miners in Tennessee, but he forwarded 60,000 rounds of amwmunition upon a_mere hint from a subordinate officer in the governor's office.

More mills wore built, all of which wero taxed to their fullest eapacity to supply tho demand, and large amount of spiuning machinery were imported from Groat Britain and placed mainly in western factories, The cotton crop of 1870 was the iargest ov own i this country, amounting 5o some- thing over 000,000 bales, And it was found that the mills in this conntry were not able to supply the en- tire demand for cotton bagging and a considerable amount of jute bagging wis imported vhat year to supply the deficier seing theie opportunity number of foreign manufacturers came to this country and established jute mills in the vicinity of New York.

MHad the f growing farmer of that been willing to attempt to compete withi the natives of India who were the producers of this jute and were being paid from 5 to 7 cents per day for their labor, perhaps some of us thén engaged in American anufacturing from the product of American farms 1 ight havoe survived. Few people are aware of the value of our flux fiber interests, to say nothing of American hemp. The United States is second only among the nations ot the earth in the growth of flax, Russia being first. Russia with an annual growth u( om ething near 3,000,000 acres of derives an incomo yearly of whont $59,- 000,000, while tnis “country with an annual growth of’ about one-half the number of acres sown by IRussia only re- ceives about $0.000,000 from her flax crop, both seed and fiber, Russia’s fiber crop being worth six times move to her than her seed product, while our seed product is 98 per cent of the value of the entire crop, During the past fifteen vears it is safe to say that the value of the flax fiber or struw Lhat has been destroyed ot burned in five of the great states of the wes will not fall short of $120,000,000, a spectacla of prodigal waste unparalieled in the history of any other nation on the fuce of the “globe.” From 1880 to 1890 there wore imported into this country textile fab and goods amouni- ing to $565,000,000, 85 per cent of which this country was capable of producing and manufacturing But the American disciples of the Cobden club of and (better known, perhaps, in this country as democrats) will tell the good people that if we had free trade these goods would not have cost us a much—a statement that cannot be veri- fied by facts.

There is used in this country annually about 60,000 tons of binder twine, 90 per cent of which (previous to 1890) was made from foreign fibers, and there is not a possible doubt but what binder twine made from American flax and American hemp equals both in tensile strength and quality that made from the now fr o trade foreizn fibers, and would (but for the free trade in sisal, nilla and jute fbers) be the leading binding twine of this country and be sold to the purchasers who use it, and would also be the product of the raw ma- Al nt o price not to exceed at any 10 cents per pound The reason for this is obvious, The National Cordage company owns and controls twenty-nine out of “the thir! now existing binder twine factorie in this covatry (of any considerable ou put), and also controls the greater bulk of the imported fibars that enter into the manufacture of binder twin What is t hinder them from controlling the prices of binder twine? Mr, Bryan says the now existing tariff of 7-10 cent per pound on this article is a tax of 70 cents per acre on your farm, Mr, Farmer, and he would remove that I giving you free binder twine, Let sea whether the facts warrant this asser- tion. We hdve never imported binder twine to any extent except from Canada and the National Cordage company owns and controls twelve out of a possible sixteen of all the cordage mills in that country. Well then, Mr. Bryan may say, we will bring it from Eogland or Ireland or Scotland, Porhaps Mr. Bryan doesn’t know that the tax of seven tenthis of u cent a pound thrown off these ligures would not be any induce- ment fer them to venture into this mars ket when they know that Yankee in- vention has made it possible for the American manafucturer of binder twine to pay 100 to 150 per cent bigger wages to his employes than the foreign manu- | facturer, and then be able to Shut him out. The ouly possible remedy for the ex- tortion now existing on this articie lies 1 the fostering of the American and hemp fiber industryin this coun- try, and the testimonyof one of our largest implement manufacturers in this eountry is of value on this point. Ina letter to the Agricultaral depart- ment at Washington in Muarch, 1885, in answer to a letter of inquiry sent to him, the head of this house says: **Itis our aeliberate opinion based upon an ex- perience running over a period of ten years, during which time we huve -sold thousands of tons of American hemp binder twine, that there 15 no better fiber isnown for this purpose.

G Swa - [\l OF INTEREST 10 THE FARMER A good deal of cheap wit is often dis played by speaking of mortgages as a farm crop, the ease with which the crop can be grown, ote. Whether a mort- gago should be considered derogatory to farm depends wholly upon the purpose for which it is incurred. To purchase n farm and give n mortgage for some un- paid portion of the purchase money is wholly nonorable and businessli ke. 1f this were not done many young farmers would never bo ablo to muake a start for thomselves. To mortgage n farm for the purpose of putting on substantial improvements, such as good barns, un- derdrainage, ete., which will help it to have a larger earning power, is also quite right, but mortgages incurred for the purpose of mecting current ex- pense upon a farm that is not self-sup- porting is the greatest folly in the world. Cut down expenses uniil they are within the income, or it is only a stion of time when mortgages will h the farm. There should ba no waste ground upon any farm. When theve is such it es the whole profiv that the n earn, because there is somo in the way of interest and ves for which no returns are made. a generai thing this can be remedied and the so-called waste places made at least, selt supporting. It may require a little outlay to accomplish this—some expenditure " in the way of clearing or \ining, or perhaps wmanuring, in or- der to get a crop started. Then the waste place may serve for a pasture lot, oc il too small for this some fruit or other trees may be planted. At leas have it vecupied in some way, and it can hardiy fail to earn some money. From many portions of the country come reports that'}d aglish sparrows have been less numerousithan in former sea sons. This isnodoubt due to the bounty. placed upon them, i{T'his has given an incentive to hunt them, and where thig is done persistently they soon leave for more congenial quarters, but it would be better if they ponid be exterminated, rather than driyen from one placo to another. b neetol bedding increnses ‘ot only tho l|unnu[\‘ ‘of manure, but also improves its quality the liquids are more thoroughly absorbed and retained than they can possibly be when an insuf- ficient amount is used. 0 individual can at all control the e of farm products. We must all in this be subject to the generai trend of the market, but the cost of production is somoewhat within our control, and this influences the margin of profit, if it does not the selling price. We do not e 50 much ahout the price if the profit all vight. The surest way to increase the profit is to reduce the cost of pro- duction. This can always be done by s0 enviching our land and improving our methods of cultivation that larger crops may be grown upon a given area. Tho more bushels an acre the | the cost a bushiel, and sometimes it requires but a Very small increase to change the margin from loss to profit. After the wheat is well up, and when the ground is dr un over it with a light harfow. will have the same effect that cultivation does upoun the crop—stimulate its growth, Do not be worried if you pull out a few plants, for the chances are that they stand too thickly for the best growth, and if they can be made to stool out by such cultivation there will be an added reason why they should not stand so thick. By cultivating, and so produc- ing larger stools, not only may more wheat bs grown an agre, but larger erops 1 be had from less seed, Tlar- expense ta re row once as soon as the wheat shows well above the ground, again us late as possibie before the ground freezes, and a third time in spring as soon us the soil has become sufliciently dry and settled. Straw from the second erop of clover, which has been threshed for seed, is not of much value for feeding, but it should always be hauled to the barn and turned into manuve by using as bedding, rather than left to rot dowa in the field, Dry, clean bedding you would keep tho and healthy this purpose is a necessity if stock comfortable through the winter. For a good supply of straw should nlways under cover, If stacked outside there will frequently be times when it cannot be had unless wet or covered with snow or ice. It is no argument against the value of well bred stock that we occasionally find an animal of very obscure pedigree which embraces first class qual cations for some special purpose. We have known common st whose feeding qualities could hardly be excelled and some fine milch cows whose origin wus_very “serubby,” but the fact remains that sich cases are the excoption and notthe rule, while with thoroughly well'Bred stock it isa rule that the progeny is good, and the poor individual is the exception. The pre potency of well bred stock—the powe! to trausmit its quilities to its offspring —is o fact that must not be overlooked. It may be a valid objection against tho Jerseys that they do not give a suf ficient amount of wilk to suit the needs of the dairymun who sells that article, instead of naking butter, yet even these would find it of advantage to have an occasional cow of this breed to give color to the whole product. By putting bellscupou the sheep much annoyance from dogs may be avoided. Have a bell to every fifth or sixth anl- be OCTOBER 22 1592~ I'WELVE PAGT mal, and when they run there will be o mm‘h noiso that the dogs will think best to rotreat. The attention of the farmér will also bo attracted by this means 20 that he may come to their as- sistanco. The experiments being conducted for the cure of lumpy jaw in cattle, under the direction of the Department of Agri- culture, appent 1o be quito successful. A better kuowledge of the moans for controlling diseases meansa bettor profit for the stockgrowo! When cattle are seen li other it may usually be taken asan indi- cation that they need salt. Not having it, the briny exudations from the skins of their companions attract them, and tho habit of licking each other is formed. By this means large quantities of hair are taken into the stomach. Being in digestible, this forms into hard balls and becomes a sourco of disease, and somo- times causes death king ench A want that is as easily supplied as this should not be neglected. Dairy. When one has the proper facilities for conducting the business, winter dairying may be made much more profitable than summer dai It must bo kept in mind, however, that it doos not pay any Dbetter to turn out a poor product then than at any other season, but good butter will sell in winter at a price so much higher than in summer that 1t will much more than balance tho differenco in the cost of feed and Good feoding will be re- quired in order to produce fine hutter of good color and free from streaks. It must be carefully handled, and will sell to best advantage if put up in small, neat packages, which may be sold dis rect to the consumer, The rfect but- tor is firm, fine-grained, of a rich, golden color, sweet and with a nutty flavor. If you will study your business and learn to produce such uniformly, you will find that winter daivying is about the most profitable occupation that you can fol- low. Some of our exchangos are saying that it is all wrong to urge more farmers to turn their attention toward dairving as wo are already suffering from an over- supply of dairy prodacts. This is sheer nonsense. Possibly in some markets there is a reported glut of butter, but leta_shipment that is strictly “gilt edge” go in and it would at once find ready buyers at high prices. We have never known, in this country, a time nor a market where there was an ove supply of really good butter, 1t farme purpose to engage in dairying merely to add to the stock of pooe siufl with which already - deluged then they bad betier but with our present knowiedge of o lvanced d ry methods there is no excuse for one beginning upon this basis. It may be difiicult to et out of old ruts when one has been in them a long time, but thero is no excuse for going in them in broad daylight. Poultry. When fowls are shut up in the winter they often waut for sor things which are essential to their weilbeing, and which can be supplied with a little labor and forethought. The dust bath is necessary to keep them free from ver- min, and this should be prepared now while the ground is dry. Road dust is oxcellent for this purpose, and a sufficient amount can easily be gath- ered up and put away in buvrels to las until the ground be- comes dry in the spring. Keep an open box filled with it all the time in the hen house. 1f you negleet to pro- cure the'dust in time wood nshos may bo used as a substitute. A supply of lum isalso necessary and tho best way to provide this is to give pounded n\am shells. Bones pounded fine, so asto have no long splinters, may also be used, or fine gravel which contains limestone. Attention to these lit things is what makes poultry pay in winter. Add to these comfortablo quarters, good food and perfect ¢ eanli- ness and your winter’s income from the fowls should be very satisfactor Fruit in lown, Towa is growing rapidly asa frait pro- state and tke smount of money derived from the fruit production in that state is simply enormous. The quality of fruit is also excellent. At the St Louis exposition this week pples from Mills county, which is situ- ated just o the_river, took six first over the pples from all parts of . This faet will point to the ibility of tryving extensive fruit growing in this state, the eastern part of which contains soil and climate alto gether similar to that of western fowa. ol you wantea to why don’t you do 1t then !
