SI.OO A YEAR. IN ADVANCE.
Friday, Sept. 19, 1890.
This week's issue of the Midland
Journal is the initial number of
Volume XIII of the paper.
Restore the Government Control of
Money Means Safety and
Prosperity.
It is claimed by the compilers of financial
statistics that the debt of this country ex
ceeds the assessed value of the properly,
amounting to $28,000,000,000. This state
ment appears to be substantially true. In
view of this fact revolution and repudiation
or class slavery stares the people in the face.
Those who slumber and give no heed to or
credit these oft repeated warnings, should
observe the mortgage sales that are taking
place and have taken place within a com
paratively short time. It was announced
not long since that the sheriff of Chester
connty had 200 farms listed for sale. In
Kansas one firm has 1800 mortgages in its
hr nds for foreclosure. These mortgage sales
are cash on the day of sale. One bid from
the mortgagee and the farm is knocked down
at whatever the debt may he. This business
is going on all over the country. How long
will it take to bring the majolity of the
farmers into the state of Irish tenauts
tenant farmers? Lord Scully has now
CO,OOO acres in Illinois, worked entirely by
tenant farmers, who live in tumble down
shanties which they have to repair at their
own expense if repaired at all. Can this
condition of affairs continue without starting
a movement for repudiation or a more form
idable movement which will assume the
proportions of a revolution. The corpora
tions who own the claims, and who compose
the money trust of this country and Europe,
will try to enforce their claims by Pinker
ton troops, with the present debtor laws in
their fayor, and the control of the finances
of the country in their hands. The Pink
erton hireling thugs are the favorite em
ployes of the great railroad corporations,
and if this practice of employing these
Hessian troops is not interfered with it will
soon become tfle fashion for all the large
corporations and trusts to keep a standing
army of their own, under pay to enforce
their demands aud keep down their work
men and the people. The recent strike on
the New York Central was purposely pro
duced by the officers of the company and
they had employed in advance of the move
ment they proposed, the Pinkerton bandits.
The purpose of the corporation was to break
up the Knights of Labor,and the work was
commenced by turning out without other
cause active members of the order. When
about SO members had been summarily dis
charged because tiiey belonged to a labor
organization, a strike was ordered, and the
Pinkertons were placed on guard. Several
women and children were allot by these
thugs and the police were antagonized.
And this is the way capital, after having
robbed the masses, proposes to protect itself.
The masses now ask for a peaceful solution
by Congress of this growing Double and the
classes, with that blind infatuation which
has ever characterized greed, are resisting
every demand of the debt ridden with all
their might. To take the financial control
of the country out of the hands of the
money trust and place it directly under the
government is the object of the present
movement all along that line. The move
ment to remonetize silver was a part of this
plan. Senator Leiand Stanford’s bill an
thorizing the government to loan money to
farmers for 20 years or less, to half the ap
praised value of their land exclusive of im
provements is another movement looking
to the same end. The provisions of the
hill introduced by Senator Stanford are that
the government issue $100,000,000 legal
tenders or “greenbacks” to loan to farmers
at 2 per cent inteiest, which would enable
many who are hopelessly under mortgages
paying six to ten per cent, to get release.
They could pay 2 per cent while they are
wholly unable to pay 0 to 10 per eeut. This
light tax or interest of 2 per cent per an
num would raise $2,000,000 revenue on the
first $100,000,000 loaned, which would go
toward paying the expenses of government,
in place of, as at present, into the pockets
of mortgage loan corporations with three
or four times as much more. 8 ich govern
ment loans would do much more. They
would tend to bring down the rate of in
terest which is upheld by the money
power. The increase of money in circula
tion would increase business in every direc
tion, and with that general increase the
price of farm products would rise as more
labor was employed and more waves earned.
The contraction of money under the ma
nipulation of the money trust which reaches
over Europe, with headquarters in London,
and this country, with heardquarters in
Wall street, restricts the employment o(
laborers, checks and hinders the natural
expansion of business and brings down
prices, which maintain a constant fallirg
tendency.
One hundred and fifty \ ears ago Benjamin
Franklin deyised the same plan recommend
ed by Senator Stanford, to relieve the
farmers of Pennsylvania, who were in the
grip of debt, by the colony government
loauing them at two per cent The lesuit
was that business revived and the farmers
were released from the grasp of usury and a
reign of prosperity followed depression,
discontent and poverty, such as the farmers
of the whole country are now in the midst
of, the result of a similar cause. Senator
Stanford’s plan has many friends outside ol
the Farmers’ Alliances, which are unani
mously in favor of it. The bill, as of
course it was sure to be, was reported
against by the committee it was referred to,
the gold ring being all f rowerful io the
present Congress and in both parties. The
money monopoly is not a party interest, it
simply controls botli parties, and to deliver
the coulrol of the government out of its
hands is the dereriuination of the labor
organizations that are forming all over the
country, including the farmers’ associations
under various names but all having the
same object in view.

A Nomination Not Fit For Farmers'
Support.
I he Democratic County Convention elect
ed the following delegates to represent Cecil
in the Congressional Convention which met
at Belair on Wednesday last, to renominate
lion. Herman Stump: W. H. Lushane of
the 2nd district, H. S. Cameron of the 3rd,
F. M. Alexander of the 7th, and R. Henry
Logan of the 9th. Tite following resolu
tions were passed by the convention:
Resolved, That this convention heartily
endorses the course of the Hon. Hsrman
Stump during his term as Representative
and especially commends bis vole and
speeches against the McKinley and Force
billsj whereby the Republican party seeks
to destroy the commercial and political
freedom of the American people.
Resolved , That the dolegates to the Con
gressional Convention be instructed to sup
port Mr. Stump for a nomination fora
second term.
It will he seen that the Hon. Herman was
solid with tlie boys in this county. The
Second Congressional district is almost
entirely composed of a farming population,
l'he business not directly farming is largely
dependent upon agriculture, and yet the
farmers, many of them able, intelligent
men, much more fit to rip esent the dis
trict in Congress than a lawyer of moderate
ability, complacently see the latter preferred
to them all. Look at the matter, farmers,
from a business stand point. What hope
have you of recognition from other classes,
when you stubbornly refuse to recognize
yourselves? Mr. Stump is not a proper
representative of your class or your interests
in Congress, lie followed the party lead
ers in this present Congress and battered
away at the tariff and election bills, but that
was mere stereotyped work. When the
Granges asked him to support certain meas
ures, among which was the remonetization
of silver, his reply was.
“I am satisfied that the coinage of silver
will be fixed at four millions each month
which is all the silver now mined in this
country and ample for all industrial and
commercial purposes, without coining the
silver produced in other countries and mak
ing fortunes for mine owners at the expense
of our circulating medium, and injury to
the very people we are most anxious to
serve ”
This answer shows that he was not well
informed on a question which was more ably
and exhaustively discussed in Congress, the
present session, than ever before in this or
any other country. This answer is a mere
repilition of the false assertions which ap
pered in the gold ring papers. Whether
four millions each monili meant four million
ounces is not stated. In either case the
assertion shows a woful lack of information,
for the bill passed authorizes four and a half
million ounces, which is equal to nearly
$5,500 000 monthly. “At the expense
uf our circulating rmduirn,” is anoth
er phrase difficult to comprehend. By
adding silver dollars to the “circulating
medium” it became an “expense” to it,
“and injure the people we are most anxious
to serve.” Who are those people that are
threatened with injury by increasing a
largely depleted currency? We repeat that
a man wiio writes such utter n msense as
this on a subject he should have fully un
derstood is not tit to represent a farming
constituency. He would do very well to
represent a constituency of hankers and
monopolies. Other important questions he
was asked by the farmers to suppoit he had
not looked into. Such men ought to he
tarried at Jericho in place of being elected
by-farmers to represent the New York gold
ring. No, farmers, we solemnly warn you
that if you continue in the bad practice of
sending men of Mr. Stump’s style to Con.
gress you will never secure any of the re
forms you are striving for. Is it passible
for you to rise above parly slavery and ex
ercise a little common, business sense by
asserting your manhood in electing such
men as the Hon. Herman Slump to stay at
home?
The Rule of Shysters and Dead-
Beats.
In speaking of the nomination of candi
dates by political parties from among the
Alliance farmers, an exchange very sensibly
says: “Just so long as we can find men who
are enthusiastic advocates of the election of
a farmers’candidate simply because he be
longs to the same political party to which
such men are attached, and are enthusi
astically opposed to another farmers’ can
didate because he belongs to the opposite
party, there will be much cause for disgust
and discouragement. There is just one is
i sue for the farmer in politics to day aud that
, issue is the recognition of his own rights by
, the government which he supports. It does
, not make a continental’s difference to him
what party triumphs if it triumphs with a
s ticket made up of the farmers’ friends.”
, This is the principle on which every
. other inteiest has acted, except the farmer
. and day laborers. The tailroad and all
. corporation interests, the moDey Irust an<l
r especially the whiskey and beer interest.
. All these have selected their candidates in
. both the old parties, and carefully kept
. aloof from identif ing their interests with
? either patty. They oppose and defeat, it
, posaible, every candidate that they do not
. know is for them, and if one is occasionally
, elected who proves true to the interest of
the great body of the people, he is sure to
, be set upon by the classes above mentined
I and his defeat compassed at ilie next nom-
I ination or election. We have a ease in point
l right at home. When Dr. Maekall stood
up manfully in the legislature and opposed
i the wishes of the whiskey ring and monop
oly politicians they swore they would kill
him political y, and set about preventing
his nomination for the next term. This
was accomplished by a little hau l of polit
1 ical shysters and whiskey politicians who
have their dead-beats and office hunters dis
tributed over the country to take charge of
the farmers and working people at the pri
maries and the elections. We cite this as a
sample of the way our politics is run and
■ the farmers and honest unsuspecting peo
ple generally are constantly made the vic
tims. through their own folly and pig bead
ed ness, of the idle, dead beat element, who
a ll them out to corporations and other
interests, in the legislature. A decent lax
law cannot be had to relieve the farmers
from the present wholesale robbing system
of laxation that prevails in the Stale, prin
cipally because the farmers pride them
selves in playing the fool in politics.
The Way it is Doing
The News asserted when the silver bill
p tesed the present Congress as it stands to
day, that it was the best financial measure
that had become a law for twenty-five years.
This is the way it seems to be working.
As the bullion value of the silver in our
, dollar, according to the statement made in
Secretary Windom’s last annual report, was
72 cents for the fiscal year 1888-89, our
transatlantic friends could bring 72 cents
here in gold or goods and our mints being
closed to them for coinage, the best they
could do was to take it to India, where the
: mints were open to silver coinage. Had
i our mints been open, they would have had
this silver coined into a dollar and would
have purchased a dollar’s worth of wheat.
The India mint being open, they had
, their silver coined into full legal tender
money and measured the price of it by what
i the silver cost them in gold.
i With silver at $1.21 an ounce, the same
amount of sil ter they could buy with gold
has increased from 72 cents to 93J cents.
Cannot every one see that this will tend to
increase the export price of our wheat and
cotton? Farmers, this won’t hurt you. —The
News, Salem, O.
$2,012,000 in Premium.
Secretary Windom purchased on Wednes
day #1(5,700,000 4 per cent bonds, and paid
126 and 1265. Put the whole amount at 26
per cent premium and the Treasurer paid a
premium to the Vanderbilts and other needy
capitalists of $2,612,000 out of the public
cash box. The Jew bankers of London
bought these bonds, or their original issues
| for 50 cents on the dollar, in gold, in
1863 5. These premiums are the fruits of
the financial system which Senator Slier
|
man was head and front io inaugurating in
1863 and which he lias struggled ever since
to maintain. The bonds have risen 156 per
i cent and farm produce has fallen at least
50 per eeut, giving the money they repre
! sent a purchasing power of more than 200
, per cent. Is it matter for surprise that
, thiee-fourths of the farms in the country
> are swampad with mortgages?
1 The Farmers’ Meeting and Fair.
, The Farmers’ Meeting and Fair
r held at Black Barren Spring on the
t 4th and sth inst was a grand suc
cess. There was a large attendance
on both days. On Friday there were
, by actual count over one thousand
carriages and estimated 4,000 to
f 5,000 people. Thee was a large
’ display of exliinits of farm aDd gar
‘ den products, fruits, canned goods,
' farm imp'ements, live stock and
, poultry, fancy needle work, also a
’ fine display of works of art and
t aacient relics, which was an interest
t ing feature of the fair. The exhibits
1 were not in proportion to the attend
-1 ance of former years, for which
ample accommodations had been
, provided by the erection of tents
, covering nearly three thousand
I square feet of space, in which were
! tables of 450 ft. of surface for the
1 display, attended by a committee to
j care for and Diace the same.
I The speakers’ stand was tastefully
i decorated by tbe fairer and sternersex
r of our land and reflected much credit
• on the designers in the arrangement
of cut flowers, bunting Cereal plants,
etc. The people gathered at the
stand at 10:30 a. m., Thursday, at
the bugle call by Miss Minnie Cog
! ley, of Lancaster, who frequently
entertained the audience during the
exercises with choice pieces of music
atistically rendered. The meeting
was organized by appointing Calvin
Cooper president, Neal Ilambleton
vice-president and Miss Bella
McSparran secretary. The presi
f dent delivered the address of wel
come, and gave a brief history of the
first Farmers’ Institute held in
Lancaster about the year 1883, at
which about 13 persons were present.
Compared with the attendance of
. to day, Pennsylvania, especially
i Laucaslcr county, had much to be
■ proud of. Last year the appropria
• tion by the Stale was $3,000; 60 of
‘ these lustitutes were held and the
' amount was entirely too small for
. such important industry represented,
r and it is to be hoped that the appro
I prlation will be doubled the coming
i winter. Meeting then adjourned to
• 1:30 p. m.
1 At the time adjourned to bugle
i call was sounded by Miss Minnie and
, the people assembled at the spekers
i stand. Prof. Henry E. A'vord, Pres
ident of the Maryland Agricultural
1 College was introduced. Ilis subject
’ “Cattle Food and Feeding.” In
this several things are necessary;
i the food must be sufficient, satisfy-
I ing and healthful; these things are
I all essential whether we desire to
■ make food, milk or strength. In
1 order for us to feed intelligently it
requires us to examine into the char
acter and composition of foods
, Here chemistry comes into requisi
tion. Foods may be divided iDto
I two classes, the life sustaining, and
the flesh forming or muscle produc
ing variety. Corn, oats, brau, lin
seed, Stc., are those that produce
meat and muscle, while the coarser
food such as hay, straw and fodder
sustain life. The feeder’s reward
will be in accordance with the re
quirements of food as to whether
milk, butter or flesh is desired.
Casper Hiller was next introduced.
Subject, “How Can Corn be Pro
duced Cheaply and Plentifully?” In t
answer he stated: We grow about
50 bu. per acre but should grow
150. In experiment with three plots
of ground last year the products
were 80, 118 and 123 bu. per acre
respectfully. He stated that to
make the rows 3 It. apart each way
there would be 4840 hills to the acre,
2 stalks to the hill and one ear to
the stalk, a pint to each car would
make 9680 pints or over 151 bu. to
the acre; nothing unreasonable. And
to increase the number of stalks to
three in the hill would increase the
yield one-third, making over 200 bu.
per acre, this he thought was a good
crop, (the audience thought so too).
The work that would do the corn
most good was to be done in the
month of July, though it should be
shallow.
Calvin Cooper gave valuable in
formation regarding cost and sus
taining of fences. Much discussion
was had by the audience and speak
er for and against the use of barbed
wire for fence. ,Ma!in Brosius stated
that if stock trespassing on your
premises were injured by barbed
wire fence, the owner of such stock
could sue and recover damages, as
such fence was not lawful. Others
thought if they protected their own
stock was all the law required, or
common justice at least. Meeting
then adjourned till Friday morning
Friday morning Dr. B. H. WarreD,
Stale Ornithologist, proceeded to tell
of the “The Birds for the Farmer-”
He said we have about three hundred
species of birds in this country.
W. H. Brosius addressed the In
stitute on ‘ The Taxation of Real
Estate.”
James G. McSparran addressed
the institute in a discourse on the
“Organization of Farmers.”
Friday afternoon.—The following
resolutions were passed:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that the revenue laws
of this State be so amended that flic
farming interests are not required to
pay a larger proportion of taxes than
other interests of the State.
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Farmers’ Institute, held Sept.
4 and 5, 1890, at B'ack Barren
Springs, Lancaster county. Pa., re
spectfully urge our State Senators
and members of the House of Rep
rescntatives to use all honorable
means to secure an increased appro
priation from the State funds, to the
State Board of Agriculture, for the
purpose of holding an additional
number of local Farmers’ Institutes
in various sections of the Common
wealth.
Hon. John FI. Laudis discussed
the idea of “Reciprocation Between
Nations."
Miss Mena M. Cooper, of Bird in-
Hand, recited ‘Archie Dean’’ in a
manner that would have done crcd.t
to a professional elocutionist.
Hon. Gabriel Iliester, ol Harris
burg, discussed -‘Fruit for Market
and Home Consumption.”
Mis Bell 11. Mooney, of Pleasant
Grove read an essay on the ‘‘Progress
of the Nineteenth Century." It was
an eloquent resume of what has been
achieved in the progressive arts and
sc'ences.
The exhibits were very large in
cluding almost the entire product of
farm, garden and orchard of this sec
tion of country. There was also a
good exhibit of farm slock and some
farm machinery. The meeting was
most creditable and encouraging to
the granges which got up and carried
out the excelleut program.
A Brilliant Liar.
The following anecdote is related by
the Western Riral. A gentleman was
nominated for an office who had been
advocate for the rights of labor for
years—an editor of a reform agricul
tural paper—and a close student of the
relations of capital and labor. But the
campaign committee was not aware of
this fact. Soon after his nomination
the committee told him there was to l e
a labor meeting in his ward and that he |
was to address it. lie was told he must'
make friends of the laboring peop'r.
At the appointed time he addressed the
meetiug, making a sound labor speech
and simply repeating what he had been
saying for 20 years. But the committee
supposed it was all insincere, though
charmed with the logic of the speech.
At the close of the meeting the chair
man of the meeting grasped his hand
and said to him, “well you are a corker;
why lam mighty glad we nominated
you; you ought to be elected and I think
you will be—why you are the most
brilliant liar 1 ever heard.” And this
is party politics In a nut shell.

So long as all the silver we obtain
ed we had to gain in trade from
Mexico and South America, we held
it as more precious than gold. So
soon as our miners produced tl e
shinning metal, at the instignation if
money loaners beyond the sea, *c
began to degrade and discount olt
own silver.

Sonator Ingalls on Gold.
The National View, Washington, D. C.
In a speech in the Senate in 1878,
Mr. Ingalls made a powerful argu
ment in lavor of the coinage of sil
ver, and in the course of it gave the
most striking and eloquent arraign
ment of gold that we have ever read.
We quote the paragraph :
‘No enduring fabric of nat on il
prosperity can be builded on gold.
Gold is the money of the monarebs;
kings coyet it; the exehanges o!
nations are enacted bv it. Its ten
d mey is to accumulate in vast masses
in the commercial centers, and to
move from kingdom to kingdom ir.
such volumes as to unsettle the val
ues and disturb the finances of the
world. It is the instrument of gam
biers and speculators, and the idol of
the raiser and thief. Being the ob
ject of so much adoration, i)^becomes
haughty and sensitive, and whenever
it is most needed it always disap
pears. At the slight! st alarm it be
gins to look for a refuge. It flies from
the nation at war to me nation at
peace. War makes it a fugitive. No
people in a great emergency ever
found a faitbfui ally in gold. It is
the most cowardly and treacherous of
all metals. It makes no treaty that
it does uot break. It lias no frined
whom it does not sooner or later be
tray. Armies and nayiis are not
maintained by gold. In times of
panic and calamity, sbipwrcck and
disaster, it becomes the chief agent
and minister of ruin. No nation
ever fought a great war by the aid of
go'd. On the contrary, in the crisis
of greatest peril it becomes an enemy
more potent than the foe in the field:
nut when the battle is won and peace
lias been secured, the gold reappears
and claims the fruits of victory. In
our own civil war it is doubtful if the
gold of New York and London did
not work us greater injury than the
powder and lead and iron, of the
rebels. It was the most inyincible
enemy of the public credit. Gobi
paid no soldier or sailor. It refused
the nation obligations. It was worth
roo9t when our fortunes were lowest.
Every defeat gave it increased value
It was in open alliance with our
enemies the world over, and all its
energies were for our destruction.
But as usual, when danger has been
averted and the victory secured gold
swaggers to the front and asserts
i supremacy-
Another Co-operative Colony.
Edward Bellamy’s dream begins to
assume tangible proportions to some of
our citizens. During last winter there
was an organization known as the “In
vestigating club” at University Place.
The body met once a week arid discussed
the economic and social topics of the
day. Not a little interest was mani
fested. Among those who participated
in the meeting were somo earnest,
thoughtful men, who had become op
posed to our present competitive system
of industry.
About a month ago a small circle of
men—Ernest B. Gaston, of The South
ern Advocate; C. H. Mershon, E. D.
Smith, W. P. Macy, D. Harrod and J.
P. Meredith, with a few others, all
prominent citizens of that suburb—met
to see if they could not devise a plan to
escape what they deemed the serious
evils of the present system, and put in
successful operation the better princi
ples which had crystallized in their
minds as the result of their investigation.
The result has been the organization
of a colony company, with the object of
founding in soma favored part of the
country, probably near Lake Charles,
La., a community which shall be as far
as possible complete within itself, and
' where what they term the savage and
foolish and wasteful system of competi
tive industry shall give place to the
kindly, rational and more economic sys
tem of co-o[>eration.
The plan of the new colony is much
like that of the Kaweah Co-operative
colony, of Tulure county, Cal., which
lias been in successful operation for
nearly five years.—Des Moines Cor. St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
A National Labor Commission.
Representative Farquhar, of New
York, has introduced in congress a bill
to create a commission to be known as
the United States Commission of the
World's Congress of Labor, to consist of
nino members to be appointed by the
president. It suggests that the presi
dent shall appoint two of these members
from the National Farmers’ alliance,
and that the rest shall be named by the
American Federation of Labor and the
! Knights of Labor, but no two of them
1 shall be from the same state. These
commissioners shall each receive an an
nual salary of $3,000, and their terms of
office shall expire Dec. 81, 1893. It shall
be the duty of the commissioners to dis
cuss labor in all its phases, the relation
of trusts and combinations of capital to
\ihe industrial problem, and such other
industrial questions ns may be suggested
to them and which they may deem it de
sirable to discuss. The commission is
authorized to invito through the presi- 1
dent delegates of foreign countries to
take part in the conference.
Gone Far Enough.
Let the railroad men go on demanding !
better protection for brakemen, and let
all other civilized people join with them 1
in the demand. If animals had to endure
what brakemen had to endure the cruel
ty societies would have the railroad bus
iness in court. But because the animal
happens to be a man the killing and
maiming go on and seem to be taken for
grunted. At the last session of the leg- '
islature an appeal for the establishment 1
of a hospital was backed by the fact that
the railroad business had much in
creased, and “therefore” a hospital was
necessary. What that sifts down to is
that you must expoct the brakeman to
be butchered, and the way to aid them
is to build hospitals for what is left of
them after the “accident.” This has
gone on long enough. With all the prog
ress that has been made in the art of
railroading there is no reason why the
”brakeman should bo left where he was
twenty years ago—or rather where his
predecessor was. Twenty years is rather
long to expect one to survive in that in
dustry.—Hartford Courant.
