The following ciroular li boing wide
ly distributed. It discusses a qnesilon
that bai boen frequently presented to
the farmera of tba United State and
one that la certainly of great import
ance. Tha oironlar apeaka for itaelf
To tba Farmora of the United Statoi of
America j
Through organization and oonoort of
' action you may become independent,
powerful and prosperous. All prodno
tion oomea from the earth. Yon wbo
art tba produoori ahonld domand and
reoeive yonr juit share of the reward
for yonr labor. Your being unorganized
enables tha (peculator to capture the
llon't abaraof tha promt that rightfully
belong to yon. Sixty oenti por buabel
represents tba eoit of wheat and a bare
living. All yon reooiva above that it
your pront Do not divide it. It ia un
necessary to do 10.
It ia proposed to organize the Ameri
can Agricultural' association. The
plan of organization ombracca a central
office to receive, compilo and record re
porta and to furnish the information ob
tained to mombora. Grain and live
took report! will ba obtainod and com
piled in auoh form at wisdom doenia
tnoat valuable and expedient. Each atata
will oonitltute a division, and mem
bora In each county will be asked to
aend reporta to the central office. The
organization will be governed by an
executive committee composed of a
chairman and one member from eaob
atate and territory, each member of tba
committoe to ba aoleotod by popular ex
pression of the agriculturists of hia re
peotlve atate, aa determined by lottera
aant to tha central office. Term of of
fice, four years, aubjoot to removal at
any time by popular expression.
All thla involvea much work, but
"there can be no exoollonoe without
great labor." Tho holding back of
wheat by the farmera ia saving them 7
conti por bushel at thia time. Uy nnited
and intelligent aotioa the price can ba
further Incxeased to a basis of 60 oenta
or mora per buahol in Chicago and St.
Louis markets. Pending organization
bold your wheat and oonfor with eaob
other In yonr neighborhood and county,
let tba name "farmer" be the synonym
of wise husbandry, give the law of sup
ply and demand effective force by light
deliveriot,alternate deliveries with your
neighbors and atring out shipments.
Tba government estimate of the
wheat orop for 1807 plaoed the total
yield at 680,000,000 of bushels, and for
1898 630,000,000 of bushels is tba re
ported crop yield. Where and bow these
figures were obtained is a mystery alike
to the farmera and tha public generally.
Other reporta and estimates are equally
problematical all Incite donbt as to
their correctness. The wheat orop of
1807 baa been consumed, the mills and
elevators are praotioally empty, the
total yield of tha crop of 1808 Is no
larger than that of 1807, if experience,
observation and roliable information
possess any value. Muoh of the infor
. nation regarding an immense yiold is
manufactured by speculators playing the
abort aide of tha market
The average price of wheat in the
United States is about 61 cents per
' bushel. The average price of silver is 81
cents per ounce. At this time this Is sig
nificant Both ahonld be advanced. Un
til silver ia restored to its rightful posi
tion artificial means must be resorted to
to protect the price of farm produota.
New conditions have arisen. Therefore
new methods of adjustment must ba
adopted. Wfaeat in Chicago for Decem
ber delivery (taxpaylng time) is 03
oenta per bushel. It should ba 80 oenta
per bushel. This price oan ba produced.
Trusts of every description, front oil and
sugar to wire, are being formed to con
trol the output, enforce eoononiiea and
Increase profits. Why ahonld not tha
farmer organise to oonttol and protect
tha prloa of tha produota of bla labor?
Tba saving to yon of 10 centa per
buabel will amount to over 150,000,000
on tha present crop, and of 10 oenta per
basse! would ptoduo over $100,000,.
000, To save all or a part of either of
these tniBieoM sums is surely well worth
united, dnUnalned and persistent ef
fort. After tha temporary organisation his
been prfutd, it tba tneottwra desire
and so axpreea thcottslve, eoavaalloot
will ba held ta each state and territory
to adopt resolatiooa and select delegate
to ftatloaal couveutUm. The dta of

THE PEOPLE'S LETHARGY.
Dr. Taylor Makea Some Pert I Beat
Remarks on a Deaettlaa !.
Not a single argument against or ob
jection to postal savings banka has
been received, yet I fear that the actual
aoouring of them is far away. The po
litioal duties of many of our "free and
aoveroign citizens' rest so lightly upon
them thut those who make a business
of politics in order to obtain or retain
special privileges of some kind find it
easy to control the elections, or the ofli
oera after they are elected. We ofton
hear " 'Bah for reform I" during a cam
palgn from the throats of those wbo go
into a frenzy or enthusiasm, yet rorgoc
or negloct to register, and hence cannot
vote when election day comes. Noise
doesn't accomplish much. The victory
ia usually won by quiet, calculating
and persistent determination, 13y these
qualities of mind all details are tnnetor
ed, all legal requirements are fulfilled,
and thus tbo privileged intercuts are
usually successful.
1 imagine tlint many consider that
tboy have doae their full duty by mere
ly declaring themselves in fuvor of
postal taviugM bunks. They know little
of what la required to prevail against a
privileged class. Devotion And tenacity
of purpose will bo required before this
cause is successful. We must expect
dlfllculties and obstacles of all kinds,
but if yon are in earnest yon will never
tire or become discouraged, The great
est obstacle will bo indifference of tboso
who should bo the most actively inter
ested. Lethargy ia a great incubus upon
any cause, Substitute active, determin
ed interest for this letburgy, and resist
ance will ha impossible the politicians
would "tumble over orio another" to
put themselves in tho front rank in fa
vor of postal Ravings banks. Yon would
think thut tho only object of their lives
was to carry this causo to a successful
ssuo. They would declare that they
bad had thin cause at heart for yenrs.
t ia amusing to seo how eager they aro
to load a cause after it becomes popu
lar. Tboy have no orlginull ty of thought,
nor oourago to face opposition or lethar
gy, but thoy have groat tact in coming
to the front and muklng big claims after
othera have worked out tho arguments
and created tho sentiment. Dr. C. F.

appreaalnar Anorchlsla.
Germany bus sturted a.war against
anarchists and asks tho nutlona of the
earth to join in tho warfare It might
be well to inquire into tho reason why
anarchists exist. It is possiblo bomb
heaving cranks can bo more thoroughly
suppressed through just legislation than
through an attempt to curb thorn by
foroe. The hanging of the Chicago an
archists made millions of anarchists in
thla country. Tho worst anarchists in
tbo community are not the bomb heav
ing idiots, who have grown hopolosa
and discouraged through a knowledge
the injustice done humanity by rea
son of class legislation. The poople of
Colorado today are paying 20 conts a
gallon for John D. Itoekefoller'a oil
wbon just as good an oil, a Colorado
produot, can be sold to our poople for
6 centa a gallon right here and repre
sent a profit to those who refine it.
John D. JRookefullor is not only an an
archist, but a hog. Wbon it took three
days and four nights to travel from
Chicago to Donvor, tbo Pullman com
pany charged 0 for a berth. Now the
trip is made in a day and a night, and
the Pullman bogs still charge If
the people attempt to eloot tbolr own
class of thinkers to congress to mako
laws, Mark Ilanna opens hia barrel and
bribes everybody in sight or uses the
army to enforce bis scheme to defoat
the people. Mark Ilanna is an anarchist
ten times as dangoroua (0 civilization
aa redboadod Horr Most. Lot Germany
and the rest of the nations get together
and devise waya and means to suppress
the manufacture of anarchists. A just
administration of government it the
shortest way out. We bave built up a
nation of ofllceholding cormorant that
eat up the producing classes, aud the

The
War Department Thinks the
Indian Trouble Is Over.
LATEST ADVICES PEACEFUL
In Washing ton tbe Affair I Thought to
Ilare Been Exatferated Volontarf
Troops Bent to Ieeeh Lake
Towns
With 100 Rounds of Ammunition.
VVismifOTOit, Oct. II Advices re
ceived at the War department from
Minnesota lead the Secretary of War
to believe that the troublo at Hear
Lake ia practically over, and the
Indiana will return to their hornet
without further trouble. Like most
of the other to-called Indian uprisings
which have ocoured during the last
century, the trouble among tha Chip
pewas it largely due to what they
cons ldered a breach of faith on the
part of the government in ar
ranging for their removal from
their old reservation and in de
clining to pay them for the im
provement! of their farms. The fuel
ing of antagonism was Intensified by
the action of deputy United Btatos
marshals, who the Indians asserted,
dragged them as witnesses before tbe
courts and left them ttranded without
mileage to return to their hornet.
Ulshop Whipple, who It in tho city at
tending the Episcopal convention,
ttatet that the tale ef liquor to the
Indiana it largely repontlble for the
exoltoment prevailing.
The commissioner of Indian affairs
bat gone to the scene of the trouble to
have a personal talk with the men.
Tho war department hat ordered Uen
eral Bacon to utilize all tho troopt he
needs, and to confer with Governor
Clough regarding tha Minnesota vol
unteert on furlough, who have ten
dered tholr services in case they shall
bo needed. At the war department it
la believed that tho situation hat been
greatly exaggerated and that General
liacon a atateinont that ho had ample
forces to repress the disturbance! wat
based upon a personal knowledge of
the iltuatlon. Tha tribe baa been a
peaceful one, most of it! members
being engaged in farming pursuits.
During the Kloux uprising In IdOi they
took no part in the attack upon tbe
settlers.
Minhkafous, Minn., Oot. 10. At 10
o'clock this morning 130 men of the
Fourth Minnesota left for towns upon
the Fosston extension of the Great
Northern road on the northern border
of the Leech lake reservation. Lieu
tenant Colonel Johnson wat in com
mand. The men carried tents, 100
rounda of ammunition and tevcral
days' rations. They era mostly from
Companies E and I, but all the twelve
companies of the regiment are repre
sented. They will be stationed mottly
at Farrla and Iiemldjl.
A abort and aggressive campaign,
which will end the Indian troubles for
all time to come, ia aaid to be General
Bacon's plan of aotlon if it comes to
another fight It wat arrived at after
consultations in which Marshal O'Con
nor, Indian Agent Sutherland and
Lieutenant Colonel Ilarbachtook part.
There were frequent telegrams to and
from Washington, and it it rumored
here that the decided staud taken by
Governor Clough had much to do with
tho determination of the war depart
ment to meet the situation with herolo
remedies.
Three regiments are to take part in
the aggreaaive move against the In
dians. The two Minnesota regiments,
which have done duty only in Mouth
era camp and are now on furlough,
are to sea active service,
Within two week, and possibly
Ithio a week. General Bacon will
have three regiment uuder him in tha
Leech lake vicinity, a fore which la
considered ample to whip the Pillager
Into submission If neoesaarv and at
tha tame tin guard any settlement
whleh may b exposed to attack from
tbe outlaws or front any allied savage
wbo may pme their cauae.

Ai tbe guest of honor at a reception
given in Washington General Miles aaid:
"Tbe volunteer tro ops of tbe United
States in the war with Spain were a
brave and at patriotic a body of sol-"
diera as ever took the field in any cam
paign tbe world bos ever seen. Tbe bat
tles they fought were won a gallantly
as any recorded in history."
"And yet tbe peril which our soldiers
bad moet cause to dread was not bul
lets, but dibease, which swept over our
camps and destroyed hundreds where
bullets killed one. Our soldiers entered
Into tbe fever-stricken camp as they
went up the hill in the face of tbe enemy,
with a courage and devotion tbat must
open to them the glorious pages of his
tory." 1
"Those wbo say tbat those men sick
ened and died because tbey wished to;
those wbo blamed tb soldier and of
ficer of our army for tb disease and
death tbat devastated tbe camp and
thinned tberaoka; those wbo assert tbat
our soldier suffered through their owu
fault insult a quarter million of tha
bravest men tnat ever earried arm be
neath tbe son."
"Those men did not suffer and die be
rauee they liked it, and whoever say
tbey did insult our army and the men
wbo oltlcrred It It la an affront to
treason. 1 bav nothing to say of the
blame ol lbs death of those brave meg."
