He gave bail for a hearing. This is a game like the oats svindle, attempts were made to “busi” the Rerorrsn for expos- ing that swindle upon our farmers, “The Farmers’ Alliance is growing so rapidly that it is difficult to secure saffie- lent competent organizers. Many fars mers who opposed the organization io its infancy, are now among its gtrongest advocates and adberents. One deputy reports that five new aliiances will be organized in one county in Central Pennsyivauia within ten days. The al. diance in Susquehanna township has doubled its membership within a week. The Alliance originated in the west - it is not a secret organization, and is open in all its objects and doings, not hesitating to let the world know what they do and demand, seeking a red ress of burdens as is justly doe, It alrealy far outnumbers the order of grangers, which has a membership in our state of 35,000, mate and female, in an agrical- A tural population of abunt 400,000w*ilie Farmer's Alliance bide fair to number a'l outside of grange, many prominent ‘members of the order of Patrons having joined it, is To Humbug the Farmer. Oar tots] importations last year were $745,000,000 and the reckless McKinley declares $356,000,000, or vearly one-half this amount, were of agricultural pro- ducts, and holds out the hope to ihe farmers, if they will be patient for = while Jlooger under the extortions of trast and monoply tarifl, they will have a chance to replace these importations with the products of their own farms, Fhe agricultural products imported in 1889, excinsive of wool and hides, and rice, $56,636 385, Hides Mr, McKinley allows to remain on the free list; sugar he pu's there, and reduces the duty on rice. The aggregate importation of these three articles in 1880 was $114,000 000. He doesa’t be~ in protecting them at all events, Of wool we do not, and cannot, or will not produce half our consumption, and the prodace uader high tariff is decreas ing, throwing the woolen manufacturers into banksuptey, McKinley and F dishonest sugar amonnted to lieve Rosh make up their estimates by including with these articles tea, coffee tropical fruits, pices and tropical tobaccos not produc- «d in this country, amounting to $110, 000,000. and which the American farmer could not produce ifa Chinese wall shat ont foreign importations. But I ihe other side of the pict. ure. As against not more than $30,000, 000 agricultaral imports, which can be construed as in competition with the American farmer (and these come across the Dominion line in local traffic), our exports last year amonnted to $599,307 065, or upward of three fourths of the country’s total exports. Here are some of the items: apic OR A! agricultural Ps 108 noais and das ry Veg What flagrant dishonesty to attempt to pursvade the farmers that a tariff sys. tem that taxes them on everything can also protect them by levying probibitory daties on foreign sgricaltaral products, For instance, McKinley bill proposes to raise the daty on foreign wheat to 2 ents a bushel, bat last vear the couns wheat and wheat flour in value to $88 747.142, and the imports to just $855 615, or less than ne~thousandth part of the exports, Of exporied 70,000,000, bashels, vained at $33,000 000, and imported 2401 bushels; and McKinley and Rusk pro- calm an increased duty of 15 cents a bushel will save the corn grower from this disastrons competition. Ten bush- eis of rye came in, but 300,000 bushels were exported, and McKinley claps on a duty of 10 cents a bushel to keep ont the tremendous importations, We don't believe these andacious at tempts to gull and humbug the farmers will go down. They have been misled for years, bat are not fools, The Re- publican tariff bill, in this respect, re- peating the language of the Philadelphia paper, “reals on a mountainous fabric of lies and ignorance.” 5 Another Letter.

Mr. Rankle’s farm, adjoiniog, worth perhaps $10 to $15 per acre more, was assessed at §33 per acre. Mr. Smith did not think this fair, and naturally asked for a reduction of his assessment down to the valuation of Mr. Ruokle’s acres, and applied to commis sioner Decker, outside of the regular ap- peal. Mr, Decker managed to have Mr. Smith's valuation redaced, according to reques’, and at once notified Mr. Smith of it, and in same letter reminded Mr. Smith that he ndw expected to be re membered by Mr. Smith for it, in his (Deckers) candidacy for commissioner. This little matter, Johnoy, according to Republican party rules, knocks you out from the convention as a candidate. And further, Johnny, this way of gets ting support for office, is contrary to law and you could not hold the office, even if elected, The Revorter now relegates Mr. Decker to the shadea of the 7 Moun tains where he can be of more vee as a farmer, citizen and neighbor.

They reported that they were overwhelmed with applications for space, and that the prospects are flatter. ing peyond the most sanguine expecta tions. The indications are that there will be more machinery in motion at this encampment than ever before in Central Penneylvania. Among the nov. elties will be the manufacture of twine and fancy pottery on the grounds. Ar rangements bave been made for low rates on southern railroads, and it is ex. pected that 10000 farmers from the Southern state alone will be present.

In order to straighten their tracks to Union Furnace the railroad company was obliged to take up a small portion of ex~Sherillf Henderson’s land, and for which they made him an offer of $600, This Mr. Henderson refased to ancept; alleging that it would not repay him for the damage and inconvenience which he sustained by the inprovements of the company at that point.
