Welcome to Project Gutenberg's edition of The Agrarian Crusade by Solon Justus Buck. This book is part of the Chronicles of America series produced by Yale University.
The footnotes have been produced using the Project Gutenberg™ standard. Footnotes follow the paragraph in which they were mentioned. Footnotes have been set in smaller print and have larger margins than regular text.
Our policy in displaying footnotes may cause them to appear on the page following the one where the footnote appears in the paper book. We have therefore linked Index entries which refer to a footnote (denoted by note) to the footnote itself, and not the page number.
Detailed notes describe problems or issues in transcribing a specific portion of the text. Emendations are listed, and described, in the Detailed Notes, as well as other issues in transcribing the text.
Detailed Notes Section:
Cooperation vs. Coöperation:
On Page 26, Page 113, and Page 119, cooperation is split between two lines for spacing. In those three instances where hyphenation was called for, the umlat was not used in the book. When coöperation was not split between two lines for spacing, the book spelled the word with the umlat. There are eighteen occurrences of coöperation. There were also eighteen occurrences of coöperative, all which used the umlat. Coöperate, coöperated, and coöperating were also used with the umlat. Our assumption is that the umlat was omitted when coöperation was hyphenated for spacing, but in transcribing the word, the hyphen is omitted and the umlat should be restored. We have emended two cases in the index where the umlat was not used. Therefore, we have consistently spelled all variations of coöperate throughout the book, including the index, and furthermore claim that we did not emend the text.
Chapter 9:
On Page 128, non-political is hyphenated and split between two lines. Later on the page, non-political is hyphenated in the middle of a line. There is one other use of non-political, on page 43, used with a hyphen. We retained the hyphen in transcribing the quote: Let the Alliance be a business organization for business purposes, and as such, necessarily secret, and as secret, necessarily non-political.
On Page 132, log-rolling is hyphenated and split between two lines. On Page 159, logrolling is spelled without the hyphen. There are no other occurrences of the word. We removed the hyphen in transcribing the clause: By the familiar practice of "logrolling".
Chapter 10:
On Page 143, sub-treasury is hyphenated and split between two lines. There are four occurrences of sub-treasury in the book, on pages 130-132 of Chapter 8. There are no occurrences of sub-treasury spelled without the hyphen. We have transcribed sub-treasury with the hyphen in the clause: with the sub-treasury system of loans.
Chapter 11:
On Page 165, storm-center is hyphenated and split between two lines. There are no other occurrences of the word in the book. In the index, on page 211, storm-center is hyphenated in the middle of the line. Because of this usage in the index, we retained the hyphen in the clause: Kansas became a storm-center ...
