RE--POLTTICS-WOOL GROW
ING, SC.
SULLIVAN COUNTY, N. H., April l6, 1912.
Mr.. EDIroR hail from the Granite hills of New
Hampshire 1t is gratifying, in while, to
cape from the turmoil of political strife and minge
among the unsophsticated the true-hearted, the pa
trotc and the intelligent portion of our countrymen
who comprise the agrieulturalsts of the country
such has been my pleasure the past week. found
them, as expected to find them, free and ndepen-
dent in the enjoyment of all the blessings which in
dustry conentment, and virtue, are sure to confer
upon this class of the community. Independent in
their circumstances and free in the expression Of
their views and sentiments upon the great leading
questions of national policy which agitate the coun
try, they are governed by considerations of po-
cal expediency in giving utterance to their views and
sentiments They speak as become American cit-
zens, and they act as become American citizens
Hence twas not unfrequently that heard them speak,
as unprejudical and patriotic men should
speak, of the policy which has been pursued by poll
tcians at the seat Of the General Government and the
nature and the effect Of that policy upon the DIVERSE
fed interests of the country They fully to
those who claim to be the Representatives of the
People. They charge it upon their Representatives
that they have msspent their time--that they have
squandered it in the fruitess discussion of subjects of
no moment to the country, and to the prejudice of
great interests deeply affecting the prosperity of the
People and the honor and credit of our common
country.
OF all the plans which have yet been devised for
equazing and regulating the exchanges of the coun-
try, as far have been enabled to ascertain public
sentiment (and have travelled much among the
People, none seems to be in favor with all class
es of our citizens than the Exchequer The project
of incorporating mammoth bank assure you, what
ever may be the feelings Of the People in other sec
tons of the country; finds favor with the honest
and virtuous yeomanry of New Hampshire 1t finds
no favor MIR. Editor, with even those who have here
ofore regarded such institution as essential to the
successful prosecution of the great commercial ope-
rations of the country. They in the Exchequer
a valuable substitute, which gives to the country all
the advantages of National Bank without its evils,
and all the benefits Qf any such there be- of Sub
Treasury without its evils. repeat then, sir that it
is popular measure with the People. They are gra-
tilted to find that plan has been devised so well
au"Ptou W suDSCENc inc great commercial Inter
ests OF the country-so well adapted to the car
rying on of the fiscal operations of the Govern
ment, and, at the same time, so much in accord
ance with the spirit of our institutions. The
People now think, and think correctly too, that with
this plan before them their Representatives cannot fail
to sette-hnay, efecually and satisfactorily settle
this much vexed question Of the currency unless they
resolved to persevere in the determination to do
nothing al this time for the relief Of the country
unless they resolved to keep the country in its pre-
seat wretched condition advance the political pros
poets of the great retired and badtempered polili-
clans, who seek to rule the destnies Of this country
with the iron rod of despotism. assure YOU sir that
such schemes as these meet with no response from
those who inhabit the romantic hills Of New Hamp-
shire. They look with favorable eye upon the ex
erlions Of The Executive in sustaining the great inte
rests of the country and although leading politicians
may regard it singular circumstance in the history
of the country, that the President is without oga
nized party sustain the measures of his Admins
tration, yet they may find, and find too, at period
when it shall he too late for them to avail themselves
of Iheinformaton that they have in this respect been
Iaboring under great deusioD. True, the chief
Executive receives support from the political hacks
VI
ed to Misrepresentation and every species polti-
cal management but lie does receive the cordial warm
hearted and patriotic support Of the great Of The
people VINO have sinister object TO accomplish but
have eye single to the advancement Of the best in
erests of their country The time is arriving if it
has not already arrived sir, when the people are be-
ginning to act for themselves, and if the politicians of
he country do not open their eyes very soon to the
fact they will find that instead o.. the President being
without party, they may witness the still greater
anomaly of the political hacks of the country without
friends. 1t is even virtually the case. Tn, Peo-
pie not with them They are honest they are
sIruous, and accordingly, the side OF the
try.
The late message of the President recommending
suspension Of the operation of the Land bill, meets
with general favor. New Hampshire in respect TO
credit, stands upon proud pree mlncnce, She owes
no public debt and, by consequence, stands in need
of no aid from the General Government to enable her

Government should husband her resources and take
care OF her credit instead Of giving away revc
nue. which She 50 much needs fulfil her sacred OBJ
legations,
Upon a read ustment Of the tariff, which she Dc

he great wool growing Interests OF New Hamps hi-e

render her population pr spefous, happy and ndepen-
