THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1801.
at AC'S FAIIt.
Tho wyicl bug of tho Chronic-kicker,
is going to have a little fair of his own.
The people here failed to show him
"proper respect" mid have gono ahead,
rnibed u Builieiunt amount of stock,
elected a board of directors un.l are
making arrangements to hold tho fair
near this city tho coining fall. Tho
underhanded cilbrts of tho wind bag
to form a stock company at La Grande
and sccuro the 1500 appropriation
from the State, is too plain in the
minds of the people. Union was first
in tho field to form a stock company
and is justly entitled to the appropria
tion, but the wind bag, backed by a
few of tho citizens of La Grande, is
never satisfied with anything of a pub
lic nature- if ho thinks" it will in any
way benefit Union, lie cares noth
ing for tho people at largo who wish
to attend tho fair and place their pro
ducts u Don exhibition. It is far
enough for the people of the south
eastern part of our county to c.oino to
Union, let alono going 15 miles farther,
to tho western boundary of tho county.
Union is tho most centrally located
town in tho county and it would bo
moro convenient to tho people in gen
eral to attend tho fair hero than at any
other point in tho county. It is not
tho intention of tho promotors of the
fair horo to run a "skin-dint" game
and dovoto their entire attention to
horso races, as was tho caso tho last
fow years of tho Union county Agri
cultural Society held near La Grande- a
fow years ago.
Tho wind bag's idea of a fair, no
doubt, is a great collection of saloons,
peanut stands, tin horn gamblers and
plenty of horso races on tho program.
With stioli a combination Muo would
bo happy, ifis gentle voice would bo
distinctly heard above all others, cry
iim: "How much am 1 now oll'ered
for second clioico I" "A-r-o-ti-n-d goes
tho wheel 1" "Ono dozen lead pencils,
u pen holder, cold water pen and a
o-u-k-o of s-o-u-p all for 25 conts!
sold." Willi such a combination ho
would ho in tho height of his ambition,
and if ho succeeded in selling a largo
amount of pools or found plenty of
purchasers for his soap, lead pencils etc.,
tho fair would, in his mind bo a howl
ing success.
Tho pooplo of Union county huvo
hud enough of this kind of "fairs."
What thoy want and what thtj people
hero propose to give them, is a placo
whoro tho fanner, stock minor and all
may congrogato for a good sociable
timo and placo their products on ex
hibition. Vroiniums will bo awarded
for tho best display in all brunches of
industry, and, if necessary, trials of
speed.
Union has novor yot shown a dispo
sition to intorfero with any enterprise
inaugurated by tho people of La
Grundo; and hud that place taken the
first stops and organized, thoy would
huvo reooivotLno opposition from tho
people horn, and wo can see no reason
why thoy should intorfero with our or
ganization, except thoy arc selfish and
afraid that it might in some way bene
fit Union. Wo would much rather seo
harmony provail in all mutters of this
kind which aro of genoral intorest to
tho entire county, and it would look
much hotter if tho pooplo who aro op
posing tho holding of tho fair horo
would drop tho matter and all unite
on ono point whoro it is most conven
ient for every section, and lot us have
a rousing good county fair.
WHAT IIUHTS Till: rAUMl!KSi
The organization of tho farmers.'
alliance is a sign of tho Union. Kvery
social or industrial movement that in
volves a considerable body of tho poo
plo and persists in its domandb is a
sign of tho time and tho farmers'
movement is certainly a phenomenon
of this kind. It indicates that tho
political condition sf tho country aro
unsatisfactory uud that tho vast body
of tho pooplo engaged in tilling tho
Koil for n living aro discontented. Tho
country, us a whole, is prosperous. In
tho lust (ieoudo tho population has in
oiciiKcd 12100,000 iiml six now 8tut
Jmvo bciin mlilrd (o tho Union, Ono
bountiful crop aflnr uuotiior Iiuk adilod
its increment to the genirnl wealth.
Tho railroad mileage has increased
from 93,000 to 170,000, and the inter
nal trufiic of tho country is estimated
nt 25,000,000,000 figures so vast
that they can only bo stated, not com
prehended. Wc produce moro gold
and silver than any thrco other coun
tries in the world; wo make more iron
than Great Britain, or any other coun
try; and Hon. Wm. McKini.ey of Ohio
told nothing but tho plain truth when
lie said: "Wo lead all nations in
agriculture ; we lead all nations in
mining, and we lead all nations in
manufacturing."
But why are tho farmers discontent
ed in tho midst of this phenomenal
prosperity? Why is it that tho largest
class of workers in tho land, and tho
class which contributes moro than any
other to tho general wealth, finds it
necessary to organize in alliances, bold
conventions and thrust its grievances
before tho public? Never before in
tho history of tho country did tho
farmers as a body talk so much about
mortgages, low price of crops, scarcity
of money, tho pressure of debts, tho
diiliculty of finding a crop that will
pay for raising it, the impossibility of
selling their farms at any reasonable;
price, and the genoial hardships of
their condition. Why is it that thoy
do so now? What is tho matter with
the farmers?
It is not that railroads aro owned by
corporations instead of by tho govern
ment; it is not that railroad property
is assessed at too low a valuation ; nor
that there are too few Union veterans
receiving pensions; nor that tho presi
dent and vice-president are chosen by
electors instead of by the direct vote of
tho people nor all these together, as
some of their conventions appear to
imagine; and when farmers' conven
tions mumble about these things thoy
givo painful evidence that they do not
grasp tho situation.
Tho real cause of fanners' hardships
is to lio found almost in a single word
protection. Other agencies huvo
something to do with tho trouble, such
as 'extravagance at Washington, ex
cess! vo land grants to Eastern corpo
rations owning railroads in tho West,
and manipulation of tho national debt
and finances during tho last twenty
seven years in tho intorest of the
moneyed section and tho creditor
classes. But tho pre-ominont and
overshadowing cause is that tho gov
ernment lias exalted manufacturing
over all oilier interests and festered it
at tho exponso of oilier producing in
terests, particularly that of agriculture ;
that certain kinds of manufacturing,
found chiolly in tho Northeastern
States, have been favured and pro
tected by tho govornmout by a sstom
of lolls and exactions that fall most
heavily upon that cluss which, being
tho ground-sill of tho social structure,
is incapable of charging them against
a class next below it tho tillers of tho
soil.
Somebody must pay for tho protec
tive favors which huvo made the man
ufacturing interest and tho manufact
uring t-ection so enormously rich, for
it is impossible to protect ono class
except at tho cost of others. It has
been estimated that the sum every farm
er's family in tho land pays to protected
manufacturers in tho shupo of excess
ive prices for articles of necessity and
comfort is 50 a year, and that is what
hurts the fanners. St. Louis Kcbublie.
