MEssEs. EDIToEs.-! understand that
portion Of the business men OF your city
refuse to aid the farmers and miners in
Kidding the country of the worthless trash
called currency, and still insist on rcceiy-
ing and paying ont rs money, pictured
rags, that perhaps tomorrow, or at furthest
next week, they will refuse to receive for
their goods except AT a shave Of from
twenty to fifty cents on the dollar. Now
| think it high time the farmers and mi
ners know the names of all traders who
insist upon keeping this worthless paper
in circulation, that they may govern them
selves accordingly, and if they are not
willing to make themselves known BY adj
yertising to take stub-tail for their
goods, ! promise to pay you advertising
rates for publishing their names that the
public may know who they are and have
10 doubt they can be supp lie with the
worthless stuff to their hearts content
farmers, however, had better be advised
of the rates at which such men are selling
goods. for they may rest assured that men
who take deprecated currency for goods,
will put on prices that correspond with
the value Of the money they receive.
Why is it, Mr. Editor, that men VIII act
50 directly in opposition to their own in
terests, and the interests Of the commuri-
ty at largo? can Give no reason. unless
they own the Banks or are owned by the
Banks. IN either ease the farmers and
miners should let them know That while
there should be a reciprocal interest be
tween all classes Of the community, we
are quite rs we'll able tn live without their
aid and support as they are to live without
our custom. \ FARMER.
