CORRESPONDENCE.

/
large cities in the interest Of The foreign ira
ders and money lenders have had their Say in
| eulogizing the Presidents message, should
like to give, through yonr paper, a laborng
mans opinion oft In the first place, think
it would kill, and ought 10 kill, any party that
would act on some of its recommendations
For instance, to tax the poor mans toa and
coffee, and let the rich mans income 60 free.
You will see that It doel not say one word
about putting his hand 10 his own pocket to
help make the national currency equal to
gold, but recommends Congress to put its
hand in the poor mans pocket; and it also
recommends Congress to still further depre-
ciate the greenbacks before preparing for free
banking, instead of first making them equal to
gold and free banking with them until some
thing better could be done, II anything could
be.
You will see that the message also recon-
mends the policy of putting down the price
of labor and property, and making the debts
of the poor still harder to pay-ihe debts Of
the million (for most all small business men
and lahoring men are in debt, for fear Of re-
ducing the interest of the few thousand capt.
talists. He thinks it wrong to take from the
few. but right to take from the many. He
also calls the debtor class the speculative class,
when they are really the producing class--the
producers Of all capital The President says,
" have stated that three elements Of pros
perity to the nation, capital, labor, and
products of the soil, remain with US. To d.
rect the employment Of these is the problem
deserving the most serious attention of Con-
gress."
This last sentence is true, but does he rec
ommend the true way when he recommends
Congress to protect and substitute the nom
productive interests, such as ships, railroads,
etc., and to put down the productive inter-
ests of the various manufactures? 1t is true
that there is plenty of labor as is proved by
the number of laborers unemployed. Bat it
is not true in regard TO the abundance Of capt.
tai as is proved by the high rate of interest.
Let any man try to borrow of this so-called
abundance of capital, and be will be charged
eight, ten, or twelve per cent. interest, and on
dant, it should be had for from four TO six
per cent. with good security. And as 10 the
products Of the soil, think that there is too
much of that leaves the country, as is proved
by the great quantity Of worn-ont land in our
country, even as far west as Ohio. / think
we had better try TO find out how to con-
sumo more of il here. The Republicans will
not thank me for pointing out to the Demo-
Gratis the rocks on which they were wrecked,
but the laboring men now read and think for
themselves, and they are going for that party
which they see works for them, without re-
gard to name. send this as an answer to
the message, and also as an answer to the eu-
logy of the Baltimore American on the docu-
ment. Your friend, JAS. l.. BOND

Scarcity OF Pork. Never before this winter
has there been such scarcity Of pork in this
county, and the scarcity seems not TO be confin-
ed to this county alone, for the Washington, d.
c., market is as destitute, and it is difficult to
be obtained at any price. Farmers who have
had large killings Of hogs heretofore have pur-
chased their pork elsewhere. What little,
comparatively that has been sold brought from
50 to $40 per hundred, but those in want
willingly pay that amount. Shoats for next
years killing sell at II and IL cents per pound
and it is no easy task TO procure them at that
enormous price Though the scarcity is caus-
ed by the disease which has been so prevalent
amongst the hogs and killing nearly one-half,
all other meats are plentiful and moderately
cheap.
