EDIToR ENoUIRER:

EDITOR ENQUIRER;
The election in this State goes
of next Tuesday. The farmers
are making an exciting canvass.
They wage fierce war against the
ruling corruption and extravaganza,
against patent and railroad swim
dies, etc They have full tickets
in the field, andin this county have
obliterated the old party distinc-
tions. Their candidates are nearly
all farmers; professional office
seekers being left in the lurch.
Their opponents are only few SIN
dependents" Their leaders are
inexperienced, but they are deeply
in earest and fully understand the
Importance of what they are doing.
] was at one of their meetings to-
day, and send you an extract of
a speech reported by j. N, WILKIN-
son, a young man from Vinton Co.:
There are certain things we
farmers and laborers can do, we
are voters I'VE cast good honest votes
Each represents the honest convic-
tion Of the man who casts it; and
each is powerful TO tell on the af-
fairs of the land. There are other
things still that farmers and labor
ers can do. They can in effect ac-
complish and control nearly eAery
thing. They have made the coun-
try and developed its wealth; gold
and silver are the representatives
of labor This country has been
changed from howling wilderness
to the most productive the world |
ever saw, from q home for wild |
beasts to a garden of civilization,
and the laborers have done it, They |
are those who first occupied this,
country, who cleared the forests,
leveled the roads and bridged the !
rivers; and they the class whr,
won this country's independence,
and protected and defended it
throughout her whole history. They
are the class that have made all
Tue improvements, and have done
ne"r " every thing that has been
accomplished In view of these
facts of their Importance, and that
they are more numerous than any
other class, they deserve protection
at the hands Of the government |
But, when we take into conSldera' |
tion the fact that we are the voters,
it is our privilege to protect our
selves. Every thing we desire we
can accomplish, if we work together
to that end. Presidents are of our
manufacture; Congressman and
Legislators are men whom we place
in position, and if they don't do
our bidding we can set them aside.
Hence, if we do not accomplish our
salvation it will be apparent that
we don't have the necessary intelli-
gence, and that we are not worthy
of the protection we claim"
Please send copy of your paper
to my address. T.B.
