Probably no occupation allows more freedom of mind, freedom to think con secutively without interruption, than does farming. Plowing and many other features of farm work leave the mind at liberty to occupy itself with any subject or problem that is of later it. Given, first, a knowledge of the facte, and the farmer can draw out of them every lesson that they teach, can build from them inventions, mechanical and com mercial, which will economize work facilitate equal exchanges and bless society. He can study the inalienable rights of man and the evils which afflict him; he can state the financial problem to himself and discuss it; he can measure iho difficulties which stand in the way of the settlement of the railroad ques tion; he can study the whole great evil of monopolies and reason out the best method of dealing with them. He can emancipate himself from profitless labor by acquainting himself with the facts of the industrial and commercial world and reasoning from them. There are no limits to the possible development of the reasoning faculty. A ilfformirifllion know all the facts - n which concern one and to reason from , them with precision and untiring per severance, will enable the average mind to solve all the problems which seem difficult. Too much reading is not likely to lumber up the mind of the farmer. Too little reading will, how ever, unfit him to reason justly. He should select his reading with care, reading such books and papers as will give him reliable facts and figures, principles and self evident truths, honest arguments on the most important sub jects; and he will then be able to cccupy his mind constantly and enrich his life, widening his mental horizon with every conclusion he reaches. Progression toward the infinite is possible, and we grow with increasing ease and swiftness as our knowledge from reason increases.

I am, And have beer, for years, The chief liar Of the corporation machine Called The republican party of Nebraska. It is my business to Misrepresent, Malign character, Whitewash candidates And manufacture statements, As they are needed, To prejudice And deceive the public. I am The people's enemy From Wayback, As you doubtless know, And I am not here Working "for my health." I hold That the people Are fools. They deserve to be plucked, And I am The man to bamboozle them, In the interest of Professional politicians, Corrupt officials, Corporation plunderers and Gere. Iam The ring-servant Notorious, And always in it On the side of boodle. I have been selected As chief servant of the gang, And railroad tool, Because of my manifest complete lack Of conscience. This one qualification For the work I am engaged in Is the secret of my fortune. . And my advice To those who come after, is, Sell yourself to Mephistopheles Once for all, without reservation, And your services will commaad Almost any price. ARE THE FARMERS FOOLS? The old party press of the country, and such other papers as look to them fer political opinions, with the unani mity born of a common longing, prophe sy that good crops and high prices will disintegrate the Farmers' Alliance and separate the"hayseeds" politically. And perhaps their long patience under the yoke, their blind party devotion while the but deus were being heaped upon them, gives some ground for the belief that they will, with a little financial re lief, drop back into the old parties and be content to do as they have always dono. . But the rain, observe, did not come in answer to these prophets' prayers. They neither bombarded the heavens nor stir red the earth for the farmers. They had nothing to do with the with-holding of rain in Russia, and the prices in conse quence, in spite of exorbitant freight charges, the reduced volume of currency and speculation, for the first time in years are somewhere near what they should be every year. The farmers have received no favors from man, no help from the republican or democratic party, and they do not propose to allow their future prosperity to depend on tho star vation of their fellow-farmers in other lands. During the last ten years the farmers of this country have been think ing, read ing and discussing the situation. And it is an undeniable fact that the average Alliance ' farmer has como to know more about social and national problems, more about the monopoly, railroad and financial questions, than does the average uiau in any other class or profession, lawyers not excepted. The truths which the farmers have learned they can never forget. Notice a few of them. They see that it was the stupidest fol ly for them, having interests identical, to spend their lives and throw away their opportunities voting against each other in the two old parties. For twenty year3 they have been sending men to Congress and legislatures who have drawn salaries for service and have at the same time allowed the banks, corpora tions and speculators to bind and plun der the people without mercy. They have been, by voting in opposite parties, practically depriving themselves of the rights and privileges of citizenship, and riveting upon themselves the chains of slavery. They see all this now, and have sensibly concluded that farmers mu-t be represented by farmers in the law-making assemblies of the nation, that one class can not be trusted to care for tho interests of another class. They see that the republican and dem ocratic machines platforms, press, speakers and hangers-on are owned and directed by the railroads, the usur ers, the gold-bugs,, the capitalist class, The old party press meets the demands for reform with ridicule, and offers no remedy for existing evils. Will the farmers then separate? Of course not. Will they go back and vote frr railroad attornies and professional politicians? Hard'y. Their votes in future will not neutralize each other as in the past. They will elect men to leg islate in the interest of the working class. They will not allow one man, or gang of men, power to dictate what shall be the prices for services or goods for all the rest. If monopolies must continue they will not allow private parties to run them and plunder the people at pleasure. Tbey believe those who work should have the full product of their labor, that he who produces most should enjoy most, and that he who pro duces nothing should enjoy nothing. They see what hinders justice at present, and they will work together politically till they have made this nation a govern ment "of the people, by the people, for the people." , Parnell Reported Dead. Parnel, the great Irish leader, is re ported dead by latest telegraph. No particulars given up to our going to press. 1 fir? 11, J, J mm Mi ffffl 1 J III Monday, October 5th, at 1518-1520 0 St., Lincoln.
