The Farmers Movement.


The Cleveland Herald is a Re.
publican newspaper of the ultra
school, 1t is without guile in its
own household, and hence is utter
ly mean in its craftsmanship. 1t has
caught a sniff Of the Farmers
movement, and as no reform can be
brought about in the interest of the
oppressed agriculturists without
sapping and undermining the foun-
dations of the Radical party, this
sentinel on the tower raises a cry.
Says the HerUld:
eve took occasion awhile since TO speak OF
farmers as a credulous class OF men, easily
h%umbugged, and very much disposed TO be
carried away by a good talker. In their po-
litical sentiments farmers are honest and can
did, and they infer the same traits exist in
other people. We talk about packing ward
meetings in cities, and we tell the truth in re-
gard to city manipulation Of primary meet
Tags, but the easiest Of political manipulation
is that Of the rural districts. A designing,
plausible man can take q horse and buggy
and in u weeks time have every township
OF this or any other county under his thumb.
A call upon three or four Of the leading men
in each township who attend to the political
machinery of the township, a few minutes
conversation explaining the principles that
govern the candidate and the great need Of
the rural districts should have o potent voice
In the Convention, with a few shrewd inter-
~jections against the rascality of the city In
auence-ii there be q city within said county
and nine times IN ten that candidate will
get the country support. That is the way
the thing works. And we shall soon see that
same thing sticking out Of the present farmer
movement to control the elections. Mark our
words for it, the era of demagogues will be
i~naugurated when our legislative halls are
controlled by the men sent there by the
GRAM es of the Patrons OF Husbandry."
This is not at all iattering to the
community, and unless we
are greatly mistaken, this insult to
their intelligence will not be lightly
passed over. When the Herald
comes to talk of candidates it is
equally absurd and malevolent. 1t
willing to Concede, however, that
in some of the Western States the
sons Of AGRICoLA are likely to make
themselves felt. 1t continues :
"The farmer movement in Ohio, compara-
is Insignificant. We doubt whether
t will hold the balance of power in this State.
I may. But in the Western States the farmer
movement is a powerful one, and for q time
will carry every thing before it, and until the
armers com to see that as a party organiza-
ion it is the biggest humbug yet invented"
