Ex-Senator Ingalls of Kansas, talking of the farmers' farm-ers' alliance yesterday, said: "This movement is building greater than a majority of tho people of the eastern slope are williug to admit. It presents out) of the most interesting political problems of the country.

In the -west a purely agricultural section it has taken a deep hold on the public mind, and the evolution evolu-tion of movement is closely watched by our deepe-it thinkers and political economists. econ-omists. These fanners have concludud that there are wrongs existing that need adjustment. Tho growth of the organisation organ-isation is not ethreal or spontaneous, but has come with a strong undercurrent undercur-rent of reason that will defy all the efforts ef-forts of political agitations to shake.
