ny "l the honest men Of Old Pike, have not
yet forgotten how they were imposed upon
by the Federal Wing Merchants, during the
greater portion Of the existence Of the U. S.
Bank. Then, the farmer was paid for his
surplus produce almost entirely in GOODS,
at from three TO four times the prices for
which they are now selling; while the pro-
duce OF tile farmer was kept down by these
Federal Wing Merchants, at the lowest pos

per bushel, 37i-second rate
cows and calves. per head, from six to eight
dollars. Horses ahd all other articles o.!

by the working men Of the country, from
about the year 1919, TO the year 1929, these
Federal Merchants, were rapidly amassing
prIncely fortunes at the expense OF the labor

political creed, were horror stricken, to
see a rise in the price Of the surplus produce
raised by the Farming interest under the ad.
