al politician, may justly be ascribcd share
of the praise for this state Of affairs. The
farmers movement is not confined TO the
West. 1t reaches its power wherever the
stars and stripes float, and is already felt in
the halls Of legislation. True, il is far
from controlling power as yet, but when
We contemplate the rapidity with which it
has sprung up and grown we look with
pleasure and pride, as does the politician
with awe, upon the prospect even in the
near future.
And while the influence OF tho farmer is
felt in political spheres, il is also asserting
itself in the commercial world This class
which has heretofore produced the necessa-
RIGS of liIe and sold them for what the spec.
ulatOr was pleased TO give, while the spccu-
lators gambled with each other, using the
staff of life for their stakes, and taxing both
consumer and producer to Gil their own cof-
fers with uuhallowed spoil, this class who
have been hewcrs of wood and drawers Of
water while merchant princes, railroad
kings, and political "bosses" revealed 10 the
fat of the land at their expense, are organ.

upon the movement, and cry out in holy
horror against the awful dangers to be ap.

ridicule and abuse from both the party or.
gans aud the papers which draw their bread
and butter from the patronage of the specu'

Some Of our exchanges urge as an argu.
ment against the substitution Of Willard for
Edmunds in the Senate the loss Of influence
in the national government which Vermont
would sustain. We can't quite see il so.
We think Mr. Willard quito as capable
man as Mr. Edmunds, and more likely to
speak out against jobbery aud corrupt
schemes,-gag laws, for instance. But il is
LETT to our representatives, when they con.
venc in Montpelier, to act their own sweet
will in the matter Of the choice, aud the re.
suit is as uncertain as tho verdict of a Jury
in civil case--n nothing but Omniscience
can guess at it,-though the chances seem to
favor Elmunds. Mr.. Edmunds has shown
himself fully competent to Gil tho position,
so far as ability is concerned, and has no es-
peciOl burden Of jobbery to bear. His con-
nection with the gag law we believe did not
include any intentional wrong doing. He
still regards the law as perfectly harmless,
and such under the existing state Of popular
feeling, it probably is, though VIC believe it
creates possibility OF doing injustice to the
press for reasons which we have heretofore
pointed out. We arc of opinion that Shop
ard had visions Of sweet revenge in his eye
when he drew tho law, which visions he has
not dared to undertake to realize on account
Of the popular feeling and the vigilance with
which the people have been watching the
law. We have several times heretofore TAX.
en- occasion to remark that we believe Pc.
land was misled in his action on the law,
and that he believed it was what it claimed
to be, and no more. 1t was a mistake, with
him. Presumably it was the same with Mr..
Edmunds In any event, the law has not
had much influence in political matters, and
probably will not. The people do not care
much about it, so long as it is not used to
wrong auy one, and it is very likely to be
repealed.

There is no question but what Judge Po-
land received u plurality of the Republican
votes ut the September observation-disclosures
dH.
That is good joke. There were 772
less republican votes cast this year than two
years ago, for congressman, aud now the pa
per that enlightens the world with darkness
from the upper end of the Avenue informs
US that 1850 of those that we're cast were
cast by democrats Let the republicans

melting so fast as the CaledOnian says.

In another place will be found a letter
from d. G. DenisOn accepting the very EN-.
phatic nomination to Congress which he re-
ceived from the independent voters of this
district on the first Of September. 1t is
short, because he has no call TO make it
long. He has no tracks to cover up, no
mistakes" to smooth over and apologize
for, and no party pledges to make. He has
received a nomination without asking or
working for it, and he simply accepts it, say
ing if elected he will do as we'll as he can,
and we all know he can do we'll enough A
dangerous illness has prevented his writing
such a letter before but We are glad to know
he is better now, and attending to his busi-
ness.

this expression o! your confidence, and there
fore gratefully accept the nomination thus
extended to me through the ballot box by
the people of the district. II sou shall fur
thcr honor me by an election, | shall ,loubt-

Road dust should be gathered before the
season closes. This is often the most conve-
nient absorbent the farmer can command,
and few barrels of it will save ~ large
amount Of ammonia in the henncry, the
privy, and the stable. Hens should have a
large, open box full of il under cover, where
they may dust themselves ut their leisure.
IL is i'm excellent thing to have in the stable,
and when saturated with urine, makes II

The merchants have complained that the
FARMER was a little hard on them, SO we
made to some Of them privately an offer that
we will now make publicly which none OF
them so far have accepted. 1t is this that
if any merchant in the state is selling staple
seasonabe goods Of any description at
prices that he considers advantageous to the
purchaser and will name the prices, VIC will
give him the benefit Of our circulation with
out charge. II they are selling at prices
that are advantageous to tn themselves only,
Of course they will not accept this offer but
will keep right along advertising in the mer-
chants organs in the same old way, without
giving the prices they sell for. Now let us
see how many have any faith in what they
profess.
