The following tetter from ei-So-
Ator totalis of Kansas was reoently
sent to the Washugtoa (IX C) Star:
To the Stan In a recent issse of
the New Nation I flnl this alleged
quotation from President Lincoln: "I
see ia the near future." said Abraham
Lincoln ia 1865, crisis approach
ing that unnerves me and causes me
to tremble for the safety of my coun
try. Atareoultofthe war corpora
tioos have bees eathronsd and an era
of corruption; in bigp places will follow
and the money power of the country
will endeavor to prolong its reign by
working upon the prejudices of the
people until all wealth is aggregated
in a few hands and the republic is do-
st roved. I feel at this moment more
anxiety for the safety of my country
than ever before, even during the
midst of the war."
The same extract has bean floating
through the journal of anarchy and
socialism for several years, and has
been a favorite paragraph with
pe9!m)tlo. oratorajn their appeals to
the passion of the poor.
It does not appear , in any of the
published messages, speeches or letters
of Linooln. The internal evidence is
against its authsntlolty. . . The words, .
the style, the construction are like
nothing in bis composition. Mr.

e would remind . toe bonorablo
gentleman from Kansas, says the
New Nation, that upon the third of
December, 18C1, President Lincoln
sent to Congress one of bis historic
messages. Its closing paragraph,
even read at this day, carries the Im
press of a great concern for the rights
of man. lie declared that "mon
archy Itself is sometimes hinted at as
a possible refuge from the power of
the people. In my present position I
would scarcely be justified were I to
omit ruihlng a warning voice against
this approach of returning despot
ism." Mr. Lincoln's thought was ev
idently running on the relation of
political power to property, a ques
tion raised by the Issue of slavery
and the capital which labor produces.
1 here is one point together with
its connections," oontinued Mr. Lin
coln, to which I ask a brief atten
tion. It is the effort to place capital
on an equal footing with, if not
above, labor in the structure of gov-
eminent ' -
Labor is prior to and independent
of capital Capital is only the fruit
of labor and could never have existed
if labor had not first existed. Labor
is superior to capital and deserves
much the higher consideration.
No men living are more worthy to
be trusted than those who toil up from
poverty none less inclined to take or
touch aught which they have not hon
estly earned. Let them beware of sur
rendering a political power which they
already possess, and which, If sur
rendered, will surely be used to close
the door of advancement against such
as they, aad to fix new disabilities and
burdens upon them, till all of liberty
shall be lost" 1 r ; j
So far a the immediate issues were
Concerned, it was not necessary to go
into the philosophy of capital at that
time, but the great stateman was look
ing at the fundamentals, and he point
ed to a danger beside whlcb negro
slavery was an incident the despotism
of capital over labor, and then he
warned the laborer to hold fast to his
political privileges lest "all of liberty
snail Oe lost"
Abraham Lincoln was a prophet,
and in a few years, even before the
war closed, the door of advancement
was closed to the average laborer. A
friend of Mr. Linooln, a resident of
Illinois, wrote to the president tn 1865
for a fuller statement of his views and
an explanation of the closing passages
of his message of December, 1861,
which we have quoted above. It was
in answer to this appeal that he wrote
the letter quoted in Tho New Nation,
which Mr. Ingalla declares "a malig
nant clumsy forgery.'' We are not
an expert on letter writing, but cer
tainly the prophecy of 'til aud the
anxiety of '65 have a marked family
likeness. The prophecy he made; it
was fast proving true in 1865; and it
was natural that he should say so.
The process of cornering the busi
ness of the country, well under way in
1865, has since reached a point where
even a counting house clerk can cal
culate the period of the culmination
of this conspiracy against labor and
the liberties of a great people, if in
1860 80 per cent of the people of the
United States owned 60 per cent of
property, how long will it take for
one man to own one-half and the rest
of the people one-half t Or how long
will it take for 6,000 to own 9) ner
cent of the country s wealth?

Tho capitalistic papers and a great
many agricultural and country jour
nals that merely re-echo the senti
ments of others and do not reason out
their, own beliefs, are continually
harping at farmers to work harder,
to farm better, to raise bigger crojn
and more of them in order to better
tbeir condition. It is all very well to
farm better and reduce the cost of
production, but there is another ele
ment of more importance to be con
sldered.
The farmers can produce the crops
all r'gh enough without the odvl or
aaalatance of the politicians, but tba
trouble is that after they are produced
lory belong practically, to the bond
holder aad the money-lender through
manipulation of markets and prloe
and control of the financial policy of
the government And then the farmer
is gentry admonished to keep on plow,
ing and leave politics to city editors
aad boodle politicians who know just
exactly what he need.
One of the uses of the Farmers' Al
liance is to direct the attention of
farmers to the real causes of low
prices, poor wages a:td sluggish mar-
keta. A certain class of people are
is tern ted ia having jutt such a state
of affaira People who live off in
comes derived from bonds, stocks,
rents, etc.. are desirous of having low
prices and cheap labor, as they can
then buy more for their income. If
prices and wages can be reduced one
half this Is equivalent to doubling in
come and debt. For the same rea
son the same class are interested in
preventing the issue of a national cur
rency. They have now. practically, a
corner on the money of the world and
they want to make money as scarce
and dear and hard to earn as possible.
Cheap labor, cneap sroods and dear
money is what tbey want in order to
increase the value of their unearned
privileges at the expense of the indus
trial classes. Farm View, CaL
Sei-vie Over !
The commercial world is looking
out for profitable investment. That
kind of property that can be secured
at the smallest cost and sold at the
largest advance Is regarded as the
most valuable. The shrewd, far-
sighted, financier, well understands
tbat service over cost Is the true meas
ure of valua The people should learn
to apply this well known rule to the
medium by which the products of
their labor Is exchanged. The free
coinage of gold into full legal tender
money makes every 25.8 grains of
standard gold worth $1. That is.
the people who create wealth, must
pay to the producer of- gold $1 in the
products of their labor, for evory
dollar in gold, before tbey can use It
as a dollar to transact business.
Hence, under the free coinage of gold
every dolmr costs the people 10 J cents
before it can enter into circulation as
money and perform service worth 100
cents. Let us apply this well
grounded Commercial s principle to
silver. If It is true that the silver
dollur is only worth 80 cents and yet
as money It performs the same service
that Is performed by the gold dollar,
it follows as a logical sequence, that
the silver dollar Is worth for service
as a medium of exchange, 20 cents
more than the gold dollar, because it
costs the people 20 conts loss to place
it ia circulation. But let us press this
inquiry a step further. A paper dol
lar will perform the same service that
a gold dollar will perform and hence
it is worth for money almost 100 cents
more than the gold dollar, because it
costs the people that much less to
place it la circulation. Topeka Ad

Prol Seligman, Columbia college:
The weight of taxation rests on the
farmer. In the rural districts the
assessor adds the personalty, which
Is generally visible and tangible, to
the realty, and imposes the tax on
both. We hear a great deal about the
decline of farming land. But one of
its main causes has been singularly
overlooked. It is the overburdening

property tax. The farmer bears not

that the small farmers cry out in their
desperation for the equal enforcement

At the convention of nomologists at

gave a lengthy review of the mode
employed ia fighting Insects: The plum

and there; it comes out early and feeds
o the tender foliage as well a ma the
fruit The lerilale mtfteTthe crescent
mark without feeding much. In eobr
nights it bides under bark, chips, etc".
To clean up alt rubbish of tMs'klnd In
and around the orcbard aad burn it or
bunt up the beetles and destroy them,
was an old and pretty good method. In
using the arsenical spray we depend
on killing the perfect beetle, but we
can thns reach and destroy only a cer
tain proportion of the onemiea It
may pay to spray, but ia reality no
better results are obtained by it than
by the old jarring procesa Certainly
there cannot be near the inducement
tor u to spray plums as to spray ap
ples for the codling worm. There is
also danger to the foliage. Through
Professor Uillett's experiments it was
found that a combination of the Bor
deaux mixture with arsenltea or the
addition of lime to the arsenical solu
tion lessened the danger of injury to
the foliage. This idea of combining
insecticides with fungicides for one
application is quite alluring, but it
has proved no great gain to economic
pathology: for while the mixture is
effectual as an insecticide, it has not
proven to be quite so useful as a fun
gioide. For stone fruits the combina
tion of Bordeau mixture with Paris
green seems to be all right Black
knot has appeared less on treated
trees than on untreated ones. The
showing on apples, however, was not
near so good. The combination mix
ture, in fact does not seem to be a
remedy for scab, although effectual for
coddling worm. Professor Riley
also referred to the gas treatment
foracalo on orange trees. : .The whole
tree Is enclosed In a kind of tent and
hydro-cyanic acid gas is generated in
a bucket near the foot of the tree.
The tont must be tight and held close
to tne ground oy putting earth upon
the lower edges. Tho formula for
making the gas la one part dry cyanide
of potassium, ono part sulphuric acid
and two parts water. The cost per
tree is less than 25 cents, and it will
be found as valuable a remedy for red
scale and other insects in Florida as it
proved in California. Resin washes
have also been found valuable against
scale insects. The object is to coat
the whole tree over with the substance,
a very coarse spray may be used.
The fluted or white scale, formerly so
destructive ' to California orange
groves, has been exterminated in two
and a half years in consequence of the
introduction of tne Australian lady
bug, so that it is now difficult to find
even a specimen. - At present the vio
tory is complete, although it is very
likely that rfheTcn'emy.'. will appear
again after the Australian ady bugs
have disappeared from want of: food.
There are various other scales f this
kind in Mexico, the West Indies, etc.,
and Florida growers should be care
ful not to import them on vlnea trees,
eto. Our enemies are on the increase;
but wbile the number grows, it is
a question whether more injury is
done now than 100 years or twenty
years ago. We only learn more of
their history. Lately there have been
foifbd forty-five absolutely new, here
tofore unknown kinds. Among these
new posts are a boring beetle, which
proves very injurious to strawberry
roots and the apple maggot which be
gan its career at the ast and is
spreading West Prof. Harvey- hoe
shown that the insect develops inside
of fruit in barrels and bins. The eggs
are inserted through the skin of the
apple. The female lays from 800 to
400 eggs. There Is no available rem
edy yet within our grasp except the
careful destruction of fallon fruit and
of the refuse In bins and. barrels,, .This
insect Is an Importation from abroad.
Another new pest, is a two-winged
fly. a subtropical Insect which may do
damage to the peach crop of Georgia

is allied to the codling worm. Often

I do not personally know, but here in
Kentucky, where the famed blue-grass
is Indigenous and other grasses grow
well, there is a lamentable need for
more grass. It is an exceptional case
to see over twenty acres of grass on
tne average farm. By seeding down
a greater area to grass and giving bet

only will there be better crops raised.

pay better in dollars and cents than

Keep good cattle or none.
Mixing breed promiscuously does not
work well. ,
The time to break the cow to lead is
when she is a call
Good care and good keep are a essential
a good breed, f
It does not pay to raise a good calf no
leas good care is given.
Hardiuess is too often made the cause for
a man to abuse his cattle.
Keep the heifer calves from the best
cows, and keep for future milkers.
There is no advantage in keeping a large
cow simply because she is big.
If the calf is to be raised by hand it
should not be allowed to suck the cow.
No one thing is capable of occasioning
more inconvenience at time than a badly
broke call

Cattle will do better to eat their hay or
fodder clean than to have a quantity in

Cattle will worry if obliged to wait for
thoir meals, and worry means wast of

The Alliaaco Dispatch: The elec

strated one truth that it was well for
us to know. They have demonstrated
beyond the i possibility of doubt that
whatever the leaders and press of the
old parties may say is regard to the
farmers and laborers' movements,
however they may try to flatter us by
the assertion that our demands are
mostly juat; that they are our friend,
and if we will just be patient and wait
they will bring us the relief we ask.
tbey are and will be our persistent aad
implacable enemies, sad win do all in
thir power to defeat us asd to pre
vent the enactment of our demands In

to depend upon the favors of either
the Republican or Democratic parties

The Advocate: We have been told
by every plutocratic paper in this fair
land that lbs national bank was the
safest banking system that the country
could devise. In view of the numer
ous national bank failures Within the
post few months have these- state
ments been substantiated? We say
not After a national banker has
failed wby are his outstanding bank
notes good? because of the guarantee
of the5 government that they will be
accepted as money. 1 hat is no more
than the greenback possesses to in
spire the confidence of the people.
and yet the financial bosses tell us
that money issued direct by the gov
ernment cannot be made honest
money. But when it is all simmered
down we find that even the national
bank notes are based on the same
basis that the greenback is, viz: on
the credit and ability of the govern
ment to pay. 1 Why can't the govern
ment be honest with the people and
give them their money direct instead
of delegating, this power to a lot of
shylocks who are sapping the very
life blood of the nation by charging
ruinous rates , of interest The legal
tender dollar '"can be put into circula

bank dollar has, but one channel
through which to reach the marts of
commerce, , and that is by some one
borrowing it at an enormous rato of
interest and giving gilt edge personal
security.
