Farmer’s Attention.

The Attention of farmers in the vicinity of Rensselaer is called to the following: About four years ago I retired from the implement business, o benefit my health. I have now sufficiently recovered, and will hereafter be in readiness to supply all-farmers needing grain or grass cutting machinery, with the best the market affords, the celebrated McCormick harvesters and mowers. A description of these machines is unnecessary, as their value is known to all. I am located just across the street from the Makeever House, where sample machines can be seen. Before purchasing a binder or mower, come and see the McCormick and get prices. Very Respectfully.

ANARCHISTS OF WEALTH.

A Treasonable Combination of the Enemies of Humanity Boldly throws off the Mask and Prepares to Control Every Avenue of public information. The Country Newspapers are Now Being Supplied with “Ready Prints” Filled “Gold Standard” Misinformation, Free of Cost in any Quantity. THE E3ESETESEZ GrOEZD.

The gold power of Wall street and Lombard, in their mad determination to fasten ’ their shackles of industrial slavery securely ©n the awakening American people, have adopted desperate measures. They now offer to furnish—FßEE—to counry newspapers, the half printed (“patents”) paper for their regular editions. And in addition to that —to send “broadside” editions to. any number desired, printed on both sides if wanted —but all largely fiilled with the false logic and misleading statement of fact that will sustain the single, gold standard, destroy the remaining greenback currency and forever drop silver as a money metal, placing in the hands of a privileged monopoly of bondholders the exclusive control of the entire paper money issued in this country. The following article is taken from the Farm Record of Indianapolis:

Just before going to press we have come into possession of some remarkable documents which will fully explain themselves. The Gold Ring has completely subsidized nearly all the standard newspapers, and is preparing an avalanche of mendacious falsehoods, and will endeavor to make people believe them by frequent repetition in a hireling press. In a town in- southern Illinois recently some of this poisonous matter prepared as “editorial” was sent to three papers—Republican, Democratic and Populist. The latter threw the stuff in the fire and the other two gave the British buncombe to their readers as a substitute for their own ideas This alleged “Reform Club” is a Gold Holder’s Conspiracy—“stealing the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in”—under the seductive name of “Reformers,”

First in order we give the personal letter from the Secretary, followed by circular letter to supposed influential men, who will assist them, and third the letter to editors offering FREE “broadsides” of the British poison, and if the editor kicks at snch a big dose all at once, it will be furnished in smaller pills, .sugar coated with “classes of matter” which “we will select .and print so as to impose no expenses upon the paper circulating it.” Remarkable kindness ! ! Philanthropy unheard of ! ! ! Heretofore ready prints cost money, but here the “Reform Club” (?) proposes to send the impecunious and poverty stricken editor, broadsides ready to mail, free of coPt. The highwayman kindly furnishes the weapon if you will agree to shoot yourself! The midnight burglar offers you chloroform in advance so he can visit your house without disturbing your slumbers! ! Notice that the chairman is a Democrat, lately from'CheTreasury Department, the chairman of the Executive Committee is Congressman John DeWitt Warner, (Dem.) and the Secretary is Calvin Tomkins.

REFORM CLUB.

Mr. z Manager —. Dear Sir:— Your favor of recent date at hand, for which which please accept'our thanks.

In response I take ‘pleasure in complying with your request, and have seen that your name is on our mailing list for receiving our publications as they appear. I enclose briefs of our latest publication and beg to call your attention to the note to Editors thereon, of which we would be pleased to have you take advantage. We should be pleased to have you mention these latest articles, ahd also review any of our pamphlets in your columns, and to receive marked copies from you of such notices; and should you publish any other matter bearing on the Currency Question, we would esteem it a favor to receive marked copy of such publication. I herewith enclose a circular outlining the organization of local committees, and trust you will co-operate with us in this direction, as we consider it a very effective method of bringing local public sentiment into accord with sound principles. Awaiting your further advice on this subject, I am, Very truly yours. Calvin Tomkins, Secretary.

Committee on Sound Currency.—Chas. S. Fairchild, Chairman. John DeWitt Warner, Chairman Executive Com mittee, Calvin Tompkins, Secretary, 52 William Street, N. Y., 189—. Dear Sjb:— ln order to make the distribution of Economic literature by the Reform Club most effective, it is very desirable to have the organized cooperation of those in favor of “SOUND MONEY'’ throughout the United States. To this end we recommend the organization of - local •»Committees. Such Committees need not necessarily be of large mem-

bership, although this is desirable. Two or three men banded together in any locality can do very effective work towards organizing local sentiment in favor of “SOUND MONEY.” We would suggest that such Committees secure the addresses of farmers, tradesmen, workingmen and others, and subsequently use such lists for the distribution of printed matter. This Committee will as far as it is able to do so, forward to these local Committees for distribution, such literature as may be deemed best adapted to local requirements. In this way, assisted by the advice and active co operating of those who agree with us, we believe that the efforts of the Reform Club will be made most effective. Can you not arrange to effect such an organization? Awaiting your reply, I remain, Yours very truly, Calvin Tompkins. Sec’y.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, May 17.—President Cleveland is not pleased with the news from the silver fight now being waged by members of his party in Illinois. Every thing looks like the silver men are having a walkover in that state, and Mr. Cleveland thinks that the situation was misrepresented to him when he was asked to go to Chicago and make a “sound money” speech. He says that he was told that the “sound money” men of his party were well organized and that they only needed a strong send off from him to sweep the silver Democrats out of the state. He gave them the send off in that letter to the Chicrgo “sound money” committee, but up to date the most of the sweeping has been done by the s’lver men. About the only conspicuous leader the “sound money” democrats appear to have is Senator Palmer and many believe that his methods of conducting the fight against silver are beneficial to the white metal. Mr. Cleveland is said to be much surprised at the apparent apathy of two of the leaders of his party —Hon. Win. R. Morrison and ex-congressman Ben Cable—from whom he expected great work against silver. Mr. Morrison left Washington a few weeks ago with the understanding that he was going to take a leading part in preaching against silver. After reaching Illinois and looking over the situation Mr. Morrison discovered that his duties as Interstate Commerce Commissioner required his presence at a number of western points and he left without sweeping out any silver men. Mr. Cable fought silver very bravely in his conferences with Mr. Cleveland and other members of the administration, but if he is doing any fighting in Illinois the news hasn’t reached Washington. These are some of the reasons why Mr. Cleveland feels like he w’as buncoed by that Chicago committee.. Ex-speaker and prospective Speaker Reed came to Washington unheralded this week, and instead of going to the hotel at which he usually stops when in Washington, he was driven from the depot direct to the residence of Representative Hitt, of 111., who has been very ill for some time, but who is now slightly better. Mr. Reed could not possibly arrive in Washington without the knowledge of the newspaper men, and had he gone to his usual stopping place, his visit would have excited little notice . But bis evident intention to keepsecret his presence in Washington was enough to start rumors flying. One of these said that President Cleveland had sent for Mr. Reed in order to get him to promise that if an extra session of congress is called the business, in the House, should be confined to the object to be stated in the call—providing additional revenue for the government. Another ;hat Mr. Reed was about to make a sensational announcement defining his position on the silver question, and dozens of others, each widely differing from the other, showing them to be merely guesswork. Mr. Reed, says his visit w r as solely for the purpose of seeing his sick friend, Mr. Hitt. His intimates accuse him of having run away from

home from fear of the alleged glass bombs which the telegraphic news says were found in the vicinity of his Portland residence, and, as he always appreciates a joke on himself as well as if it were on somebody else, they are getting lots of fun out of the accusations. Admiral Meade will not be court-martialed for making those strictures upon the foreign policy of the administration.Firends of the administation say he escaped because there is no way to compel either the admiral or the reporter who wrote the interview’ to testify before a courtmartial. The friends of the admiral say the administration was afraid to order him courtmartialed. The unprejudiced public think the forty years service in the navy of Admiral Meade ought to outweigh an outbreak of temper on his part, and that his talk should have been ignored by the administration. He will probably be officially scolded by secretary Herbert, and that will close the incident. The continual growth of the treasury deficit for the current fiscal year, which passed the fifteen million mark during the present w*eek, is attracting some attention, but terasury officials insist that there is enough money in sight to carry the government until the regular session of congress. The tongues of the politicians have been set w’aging by a report that it had been suggested to Gov. Watson, of Delaware, that he name a silver democrat to contest the seat left vacant by the expiration of the term of Senator Higgins, w’hich is claimed by Col. Dupont. The implication contained in this suggestion is not complimentary to its maker nor to the silver Senators who comprise a majority of the senate. However, there is no probability that the financial or other views of either of the contestants—it is presumed the Gov. will appoint—will be a factor in deciding who shall fill the vacant seat left by Mr. Higgins.

Nine Pound Package of Male.

It is with pleasure the Pilot extends congratulations . to the honorable postmaster, E. P. Honan, and his esteemable W’ife, on the advent of a nice baby boy. The happy event occured Wednesday morning at twenty minutes past one, and the visitor balanced the scales in the ninp pound notch, healthy in limb and lung. The postmasterclaims to have administered the federal oajth qualifying the young man as an assistant at the general delivery window, shrewdly calculating that such an attraction will largely increase business, and indirectly work an increase in the salary allotment of this office. Mother and child are buth doing nicely.

Saw The Type-setting Machine.

Bernie Maloy of the Republican printery and Charlie Noble of the Pilot force paid Chicago a flying visit Sunday, taking in the marvels of the new type setting machines in the Inter Ocean. These new inventions have in 2 years displaced 70,000 compositors in the whole country, as each machine is capable of doing the work of five or six men. The “Lineotype” is composed of 4,200 pieces, and though apparently complicated it seems endowed with human intelligence, so marvelous is the work it perforins. By its use the cost of type-set-ting jias been reduced from 45c per thousand ems to a trifle more than 10c. Though these machines now cost 11,000, it will be but a few years, w’hen offices such as the Pilot will find it economy to own one.
