FARMERS READ.

PRICEs--Those who are continually harpmg
about low prices and charging them to the admin
istration, would do well to consider dspassonatey
the facts in the subioined article:
IN Niles Register, under date Of October 9Th,
1919, we find the following
Wheat--The Butllo journal Of the 18th ut,
snys considerable quantities of wheat were sold du-
ring the past week at Hirty-Seren Gad 4 half cents

ready sale at that price"

and wholesome flour in Baltimore which after the
cost of transportation and other incidental expenses
were paid, yielded the owner only {; rs the BAR
REL.--Rcgister, .March II, 1921,
This was under the reign of the National Bank
and during the ''era of good feelings" in Mr.. Mon
roe's Administrations But no one then had the folly
to tell the farmers, that these very low prices were
owing to the administration, nor could they be
charged TO the want of National Bank. Int let
us come ten years later--take the year 1880, with
National Bank, and 1910 without National
Bank, The prices in those years in the great Yves
tern market for bread stuls and provision, Roches-

MORE FEDERAL FRAUDS,

We caution our Democratic friends in every Sec
ton of the Union, to be wide awake in guarding
against the base attempts which are to be made BY
the federal wings in cheating us ont of our rights.

made to carry the Wing Electoral tickets by spur

there will no means be left untred to trample upon
justice and the laws.-The federal party in Ken

extra session of the Legislature has been called for

THE BLOOD HOUND HU MByG En-
FLOODED.

After all the infamous assaults BY "thc peace par
ty," upon HE administration in reference to the
employment of blood hounds for the cNllrpation of
the Seminole, the whole matter is fairly exploded,
proved false, so far as the administration is con-
cerned. Gen. Call in speech TO the wings night
before last openly asserted I" that he himself was
the originator Of the schemc--ihat he bought and
paid for the hOunds-and that The fauH he found
Nth the Sccr0tary of War was that he ordered
them MUzzLED." And yet this man is taken BY
the hand and caressed and cajoled by the very men
who have denounced the administration as devoid
of humanity and justice and have attempted to
style themselves tender hearted "descpcs of
peace - Away with cant, hypocricy, and hum
buge-such insults to the understandings of man.
Why did not the wings press of the city mingIe
with their eulogiums something condemnaiiorv of
the inhumanty ofGov. Call What has become
all ola sudden, of their sympathy with the persc-
cuted savage And where is the justice7-wherc
is the consistency, of denouncing the adminisra-
ton for an set, when they hug the author, Original
tor and grand factotum to their bosoms Alas,
for the miserable, pitiful dwelling, shifts of this
prolligate faction. 1t is without honor, without
principle and without truth, or even a respect for
decency in appearance, and yet it expects TO de-
ceive the American people with its shallow devices

"On looking over our exchange papers, we find
numerous instances of the appearance of women
IN the political arena, either as spectators or in n
more active capacity In some cases, they have
given toasts with their names attached in others
they have presented political banners, and in one
or two cases political speeches have been made on
the presentation Of these banners This is all wrong
and entitled to censure. Politics already rage to
high in this country enter too largely into the bu-
siness vacations of the day Interfere too much with
the courteses of social life, and the enioymcnls of
the domestic circle. five sanction the Interference
of woman in such bitter political strife, we shall
tend still further to disturb the relations of kindness
and courtesy between friend and friend, and rob
society OF much OF It's purest enjoyment. For our
part we can conceive of nothing more unpleasant
than to enter into controversy with females. 1t
creates aspery, leads to excitement and robs wo-
man of her greatest charm We mean quiet of
manner and grace of department. Woman has no
right to vote under our laws and constitutions there
fore her appearance AT political meeting, or her
participation in any kind ofpolitica strife, must be
considered improper. She may in reading over
the public journals and lis,ning to the occasional
conversation of gentlemen, form opinions friendly
to this side or that. But surprising case of two
leading politicians, animated and cXcited-hOw
aWkWhlu ana improper would seem the appearance
of third person in the shape OF female, during
the progress of their controversy II this first step
be permitted moreover--if women be invited to
look on and oversee political meetings exclusively
composed oflemales. We shall have our mothers
and daughters taking sides making speeches, offer
ing resolutions, and possibly engaged in still more
offensive political squables. The sphere of wo-
man is away from such scenes. She should soF-
TEN rather than excite the asperies of the rough
or sex, and endcayor TO render the household root
retrea; and refuge from HE unpleasant chickering's
and exciting controversies of polili cal life. These
at least are our views, and we have reason to be-
licvc that similar sentiments are entertained by
largo portion Of the community"
1t is much to be lamenied that so active part
in the present political strife, has been borne by
women. But we do not so much blame them as
we do their imprudent and misjudging friends, who
led away by the most bitter political zeal have
couraged their appearance in the arena of political
warfare. "A ~oman eagaged in politics, can ner-
