The Mercantile Glasses.

There is misunderstanding where
there should be none.
The farmers, pressed by poverty,
turn in their distress to that which is
nearest them, and they complain that
the merchants in the cities are making
too much per centage Of profit from
them hence follow Grange stores and
wholesale purchases by the Oranges ;
and from this follow bad blood and pre-
ludices between the mercantile and ag-
ricultural classes.
Truth lies IN the middle as usual.
The merchants have charged larger pro-
fits than were fair Or reasonable, to COW
er bad debts and slow payments; and
these have resulted not from dishonesty
on the part Of the farmers, but from
the great burdens to which they are
subjected by bad laws.
The remedies are:
1st. That the merchants should re-
duce their rates Of, profit as low as they
possibly can to meet the demands Of
the farmers.
I'd. That the farmers pay up their
old debts as soon as possible and adopt
hereafter the cash system. This will
enable merchants to sell al less rates OF
profit and make more money than by
the present system.
Sd. Let the merchants help to unite
the farmers by calling their attention
to the great evils under which they suf-
fer from high tariff and high transport
tation. and patent laws. and unite with
the farmers at the polls TO correct these
evils.
There should be mutual forbearance
where now there is hostility.
The farmer should understand that it
is not the merchants keep him poor,
but the giant monopoiies, sustained by
the Republican party, to which we have
alluded. compared with which the extra
cost of coffee or sugar. is as
nothing.
Let merchants and farmers reason to-
gether, and they will soon see that in
the main their interests are identical.
and that they are the common prey OF
the same plunderers.

I" State RightS.,,

In the coming struggle Liberty will
find its surest entertainment in the rights
of the States and the reserved rights of
the People.
The People are the foundation Of all
authority. They have, for governmental
purposes, delegated part of their power
to the States, and still another part to
the Nation: but they have not contided
unlimited authority to either. The Con-
stitution of the United States says:
I" The powers not delegated to the United
states by the Constitution nor prohibited 10y
1t to the States, are reserred to the States
respectirelg, OR TO THE PEOPLE"
The people have nothing to fear from
themselves; and little to fear from the
State governments but if lespotism
comes at all it will come under the cuise
of concentrated, centralized National
authority
The pyramid of government then is
built in this wise:
lst. The great, broad foundation of
individual rights, collectively repre-
sented in the People. and practically un-
limited. since the people have reserved
to themselves the right to alter, amend
and. if necessary. abolish the State and
| National Constitutions.
ID. The power of local government as
represented in the townships and cities.
Sd. The power Of local government as
represented in the counties.
4th. The State.
| 5ti1. The Nation.
The apex of this pyramid is the most
conspicuous part of it: it is that on
which the eye rests from afar off: there
the banners are displayed; but it is in
truth the least important part of the
whole great structure of human liberty.
! Let us then preserve and defend the
Nation in all its just rights and dele
gated powers. but let it not intrench
upon the rights of the States Or the
People.
| The liberty. the prosperity, the hap
piness of the People is greater and
nobler object than any form of law or
! government in which it may express it.
self. The temple is less than the God.

have been husging one another long
ago. And then. Joseph, how you would
have set US forth-for instance, some
thing like this: THE citizens o.
regardless Of party will not forget to
turn out en- 2nGsse to hear that re.
nowned orator, that brilliant scholar.
that wise patriot, that pure and honest
and spotless gentleman, &C., &C., who
will address Them &C.. sc. Why.
Joseph, ''the architect of nation S
policy, would have been nowhere!
Now, Joseph, you did not buy us
SIMPLY because ace pere not for safe.
That was all there was of it.
Then why do you abuse US!
Because man who isn't an lass. .
and who can't be bought, is Supremacy
dangerous. And a man who. without
money and without newspaper can.
for years. agitate and disturb whole
people, must be slaughtered. As YOU
told a friend Of yours last winter, Jo-
seph. there is no resource but to .skill
him-kill him. And s.could curses
kill as doth the mandrake groan'' YOU
would have made an end of US long ago.
But. Joseph. permit us to assure you,
you can't do it. The sick lion has cot
upon his feet again. little battered in
the ribs and little weak in the legs. TO
be sure, but he hopes to be able in time
to meet all corners; and, Joseph, he Will
be happy to see either your heels or
head at any time; for one end Of you.
Joseph, is just about as attractive as
the other.
And so, Joseph. an reroir. Wade
in. # we don't give you as good as
you send, Joseph. i will simply be be-
cause we havnt get It in the shop.
