ture.
The Rural New Y orker has repeatedly urged
that farmers who desire prosperity that is eer-
manent and without fluctuations, should use
all possible effort 10 develop and supply a home
market. We should have no waIs with rail-
ways, no denunciation of bloated monopolies
on the part Of farmers, if the farmers market
were at his own door; tor these could not exist
The power OF railway monopolies To Cypress
farmers comes of their dependence upon remote
and foreign markets for the sale of their pro-
ducts. They are compelled to compete with
the world, and 1t is In the power Of these rail-
ways to render them utterly powerless to COM
pete.
II farmers were not compelled TO ship their
products In order that they may reach consum-
ers, the railways could levy no tax thereon, If
those who manufacture Our wool, grain, flax,
hemp, hides, &c., &C., and who consume our
beef, pork, grain, fruit, vegetables, butter,
cheese, cotton, &C., are close at hand, and sup
ply us with our manufactured necessities in
exchange for our raw products, the tariffs of
railways and middlemen cdiit.ot be levied: our
money is kept circulating at home, and the
relation OF values is not iluctuatng nor uncer-
tain. Eeach locality is commercial center
that regulates its own affairs and scarcely feels
the influence of panic in Wall street or ali adj
vance In discount rates in the Bank of England
But SO long as exchanges must be made through

may our fal mers rest assured that their profits
will be both small and uncertain, with only ex-
ceptional cases.
ms opinion IS confirmed By obs rvAtion, sx-
perlence and testimony. Wherever there is
locality with non-producing population sufficient
to Consume the products Of the farmers Of a
neighborhood, no complaint of hard times is
made. 1t Is manufacturing population that
Is TO be supplied and the prices of manufactures
are high, the prices Of farm products appreciate
correspondingly. But whether prices appreciate
or not, "A non-producing population mus, eat in
