To stop Agitation.

Gen. Grant "entertains the hope
and EXPIRE sses the desire" that the
fifteenth Amendment will be rati-
fed. His reasoning in favor of it
is charming, novel and original
The question Of suffrage has long
been agitated. he says, and will be
agitatel until q is settled. Very
we'll. but is that any good cause
why it should be settled the wrong
way? Because man .'agitates"
the question Of the title to your
property, is that any reason why
you should settle it in his favor :?
Clearly, according to Gen. Grants
profound logic, it is. The under
lying question Of the right Of each
State to control suffrage within it's
limits, is entirely overlooked. The
people of Ohio ''settled" tho ques-
ton Of suffrage in 1867, by . ma
jority of $4,000 against it; and yet
Congress proposes to reverse this
decision by the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and by the aid of the bogus
governments Of the South. Here,
again, he will End very strong evil
dcnce Of disagreement between
himself and the people. He will not
find cordial endorsement to the
doctrine that whatever is "agitat-
ed is, Of necessity, right.

Political economists have writer
chapter after chapter, and volume
after volume upon this subject, yet
it's mysteries arc not all disclosed,
nor will they be till oil the secret
springs that actuate. mankind are
fully understood by such writer's.
This class Of writer's teach that
agricultnralists and manufacturers
will seek to market their commodi-
ties where they can obtain the most
in exchange for them. This must
be received with many qualiica-
tions. ......-s ..s ..
To illustrate this new principle,
during the summer Of 1868 our mer-
chants, manufacturers, dealers in
farm machinery, and implements,
accommodated the farmers far and
near, with everything their necessi-
ties or whims suggested need for,
trusting to prompt payment on their
marketing the immense harvest Of
the past year. @
The new law in trade that this
state of facts has developed is that
the farmer will shun the merchant
where he gets the most in return for
his commodities If be can thereby
avoid payment to those who gener-
ously aided him in bridging over the
space between the time Of seeding
and harvesting and marketing in
1868. In marketing here they
come in contact with the men they
owo, and have an opportunity to
pay for necessities long since con-
sumed. Such unsought opportuni.
ties they seek to shun.
By marketing elsewhere they re
tain their money to trade with, and
if there is any advantage in buying
for ready-pay they have it. There
may be exceptions to these state
meuts. but they unfortunately are
so rare as to scarcely contradict
the rule. And they explain nine
tenths Of the reasons why farmer,
think they can do better in market
ing in smaller towns where Their,
are less goods--they for the time
avoid their debts. z1A6

An exchsnge says Grant is the
greatest man America has yet pro-
duced.' In his Inaugural he said
he had taken an oath to obey the
laws, yet his first act was the ap-
pointment Of . cabinet officer who
could not legally hold the Office.
His second act was to ask the re-
peal of the obnoxious law. If the
blame was through ignorance or in
disregard Of law. it ought to pretty
sffectually dispose of the fulsome
nonsense of the flatterer Of Grant.
