pare this course Of conduct with the eff
feet Of the course of those in the sunny
South who, although few In number
had the entire political control of the
, producing class and used 1t to Cypress,
!, not alone the black man, bat the white;
and from the history Of such system ~
d advocates we have been the panied
witness of its tendency to lead to general
anarchy, suffering and distress of the
many In the interest OF the few. Solo
mon says '.tbat Ii a multitude Of coun-
setlpn there Is safety" Is it strange
that we oppose the idea Of ignoring ali
the improvements that experience has
brought to light in political tactics and
rush wildly back to old, worn out sys-
TENS, which but meagerly answered the
purpose in any age? And especially
when we discern that it has 50 frequent
~ occurred that a .fc.v, with the power,
have spread havoc In the pathway OF
the many. Should not tile people guard
ell the law makers and rulers in every
State In the Union from excessive legis-
lation and those few non-producers,
when such a ,.srge proportion Of the
people have been oppressed more or less
by the control of such Legislators. 1t
has q tendency to degrade labor, and fos-
ter the idea that the producer Is the
mud siIl' Of society. ID has 100 good
common sense to denythat many OF our
laws made by men whose ambition has
not been to legislate for the good of the
masses, is little harder to understand
than my ideas on the Supervisor system.
The laws which are to govern US should
not be SO; for want of the masses giving
instruction and demanding hearing
from their public servants they have to-
day to occupy the place that they do.
Because the producers have seen A: to
meet together at our county seat to do
their county business without counsel
ling some one more skilled In such bu.
siness, 1.-The Whole system is wrong; let
US go tack to the good old way" I
think tlie people have not much notion
Of doing It. Mark my words, the time
is coming in our government when the
veto Of the people will be given at the
ballot box against the law aud lawmak-
ers who will not recognize the rights Of
all. We cannot have an agricultural
fair nowadays but for the interest Of
those who love ease, it is turned into
horse nice. Nine tenths will in time
redress grievances inflicted by one-tenth.
As to the balky team, none so blind as
those who will not see. And as to the
improvement Of the mill site, our aim
shall be the general interest Of all, but in
no wise detrimental to the producers of
the vicinity. We ask those only to en-
gage in it who are interested i'm our nat
ural resources, and who desire the inter-
ests Of the producing class to be fostered
and encouraged; with such we associate.

questions the power to reduce use and
rents to point not burdensome on the
producers. With regard to use it has
been entertained and practiced by all
civilized governments on earth, prop
erly iva think), and outside of the Uni
ted States, below our maximum, while
they use coin mostly, and we paper cur
rency. It is, demonstrated that the ad-
vance Of our domain and legitimate bu-
siness .wiH not sustain our maximum
use permitted by law; and while our
government provides the entire curren-
cy, of but little intrinsic value, to the
amount OF say four billion of dollars,
and that thrown into the hands OF non-
PRODUCERS and interpretations to bleed
and bite the producers with extravagant
use, and combine to increase the price
of the necessaries Of life, and cheapeN
their labor and products, is it not reason
able to expect that they will elect MEM
bers pledged and instructed to restrict
use! We think SO; and we think it may
become necessity to do 50.
All know that If A rents property to
B at fixed price and per cent, all casu-
alties fall on b; and such often occur and
cause disaster to BIS family. Disasters
should be borne where it will least op-
press, not interfering with the general
good. E9 REPUBLICAN.
