order, and entreated them to desist from their
unlawful course. The lynchers, who were
composed of the best citizens of the section, lis

bushel. They could not build COM
netting lines, and cheaper by competi-
ton. They could not confer upon the
farmers any special privileges, for the
sufficient reason that the farmers would
not permit them to do it. Their sense
of justice is stronger than that Of Dem
ocratic conventions.
The resolutions are, in truth, nothing
but chaff all the way through, and no
BODY knows it better than the farmers.
The effort to paralyze their great move
ment by giving it political character
will meet with no encouragement from
them. In all their objects, except that
of cheapening transportation, the
oranges have already answered their
purpose. They have secured the farm
ers cheaper implements, accurate knowl-
edge Of the crops of the country, and
the enlightenment that comes from more
extended and intimate social intercourse.
The oranges have, besides, become
moral power, and have opened the way
to the intelligent discussion of the
transportation question which must re-
suit in providing remedy for present
evils. As final answer to the Demo-
cratic resolutions, the farmers will re-
member that Republican Senate has
appointed a committee to gather ell
available knowledge on the subject.
While the Democrats are making vague
promises, this committee, having on it
such Republicans as Conkling and

ready in December to give the farmers
a mass of information concerning the
transportation question which will be
available in helping them out Of their
troubles. -NeU York Times.
