Immigration cf foreigners to our eastern cities, and tiie ideas they have infused into public opin ion through the newspapers, have, in his belief, created quite a wrong impres sion of thu real condition of the Ameri can fanner—of the social jiosition that ho rightfully holds and of his solid traits of ch^cnctcr.

The pledge under tills demand, which liko all the others must bo signed in the presence of witnesses, reads, as do most o it were regarded in pledgee; ’ '' I -'Approve of the above demand, and if elected to a seat in the Uui ted States congress will endeavor to have it enacted into a law.” y The second demand is for a law ic “effectually prevent the dealing in fut ures of agricultural and mechanical productions.” The third demand is for free and unlimited coinage of silver. The fourth is for a law prohibiting alien owner.-', ip of land by persons or corpora tions. Thu fifth demand is that all rev enue, national, state or county, shall la limited to tho necessary exp uses of the government, economically and honestly administered. The sixth and last demand and pledg; deserves to be given in full. It reads; “That congress issue a sufiicint amount of fractional pajier currency to facilitab exchange through the medium of the United Suites mail.

Therefore, brethren, let us gird on our armor, renew our faith, strengthen our good resolve and press the battle to the very gates of tho enemy's stronghold, and never think of giving up until perfect and complete victory is obtained. AVhenover an honest, toiling people lias been oppressed beyond measure then they have been relieved—that is when they sought relief as they should and as it xvas their duty to do. It has been so from the beginning. All of the burden under which the votaries of agriculture groau today are the results of willful neglect of duty on their part. And now that these burdens are becoming intolerable, and seriously threatening the happiness and welfare ot our children, let us turn from the error | of our ways, avail ourselves of the means! that are at our command, and a Aloses will come to lead us out.—Texas State i Lecturer Rellar in Texas Fanner A QucNtionaMe Ofuniou. A movement has been started to or-1 ganizo tho fanners of Pennsylvania in the National Fanners’ Alliance. Such organizations are capable of doing much | good, hut politics usually act as a blight upon them. The moment they fall under tho control of demagogues, who seek to | use them for their own political ad vancement, their power for good is gone, j The Patrons of Husbandry had that ex perience, but, having profited by it, sue-1 ceeded with reduced numbers in pro moting tho material interests of those | who remained in tho order, through the I medium of schools, lectures, fairs and ; agencies for the purchase of goods.

The expression is familiar to western care. Pioneers have heard it before. Hard times are of the conditions tliat fol low civilization. When the first settlers came to Illinois, and afterward to Iowa, and then to Colorado, they encountered “hard times.” Sometimes they were so hard that bread was scarce and luxuries were quite unknown. But tho wail tliat goes up at the present is not fronrtiuuger but from want of money. The farmers are in debt and they are distressed to pay their interest. They owe interest because they have been borrowing. Some have borrowed judiciously and some have not. The man who borrowed to improve his land, to build fences and ditches, borrowed judiciously and sometime will be able to pay; but the one who borrowed to pay debts, to buy pianos and fine buggies or high priced horses and cattle, has borrowed injudiciously and possibly will never pay.
