We will not attempt to go through the
list, by name, but will say that we believe,
as result of our refusal Of tempting offers
to insert swindliug, immoral, and whisky
advertisements, we have won degree Of
confidence from our readers which we hope
ever to merit, and which adds much to the
value Of the FARMER as a medium for legiti-
mate and honorable advertising.
One word more to our readers and friends.
The amount Of correspondence prac-
teal, everyday talk--furnished for the
columns Of tho FARMER, has steadily increas-
ed since last year, and we hope to see il
continue to increase. We want to hear
from every thinking farmer. Short, practi-
cal letters, telling what you have done or
seen, are always welcome, -such as Mr..
Ways, on the FIRST page, for instance. Give
us the substance of what you want to say,
and if your spelling or your grammar are
not perfect never mind, the editor is always
ready to straightcn and arrange articles from
those who really have something to say
which is worth saying.

There was large lot OF cattle brought in

Patrons of Husbandry.


In regard to grange stores, etc, some peo-
pie are disposed TO call the Patrons of Hus-
bandry selfish and ungenerous, encausc they
choose to buy at wholesale and ~ sir
own goods without the aid of middfesfsn.
The cry Of jobbers and retailers has been,
that We are not willing they should live.
The statement is false. We do not object TO
any persons business nor their profits, but
we do claim the right and will maintain II,
that we have the same right to purchase in
large quantities that they have, on the same
principle that jobbers and retailers them
selves buy, rs low rs they can.
What would tho retailer say to the jobber
II the latter complained that the former was
not willing to pay hun his profit The re-
taller would answer, Ifyou can sell As cheap
ms II certain wholesaler can, | will buy of
you, otherwise 1 shall buy where l can buy
best. Now this is precisely our position.
We say to the middeman, If we can buy
hogshead of molasses, barrel Of kerosene
oil or q chest of tea, cheaper than you will
sell it, we shall do it. We don't wish to in.
terfero with your profits; make all you can.
but don't whine. nor call people selfish, be-
cause they are not willing to pay you more
for your goods than what they can purchase
them for elsewhere. Nor do we wish any
one to sell to Patrons any article less than he
does to others. Here is our money 1--WE buy
for money, not credit), we shall make it go
just as far rs it will. We toiled hard for it.
We moistened our brows with the sweat Of
honest labor by the noontide heat. We
arose before the sun, and saw him decline
beyond tho western hills ero tho days labor
was closed, and we are going to have just as
many goods rs we can get with that money.
Who has better rightp There is no injus-
tice about Il; there is no selfishness about It.
Take the country through, the farmer does
not receive oue-half of what the consumer
pays for the raw products of the soil, and he
does more than three-fourths of the labor
and has ten times the capital invested that
those have who "haRdle" the crops. Their
why this cry of selishness and ungenerosty
We wrong no man. Our notices are Jus
tice and Charity, our watchword, "Educat,
the Farmer" Educate, not only in the reg
ular routine OF his business, but in genera
sense Intellectually, morally and socially.
There is no reason why farmer SHOULD
not receive educational and social advan
tages equal to tho merchant, and there is
every reason why he should. They are nee.
essary to his business and to his life. Those
who think that the dull boys are to be KEEP
on the farms, and the bright ones sent to 81
manufactured into merchants, are mistaken
wofuly mistaken. 1t requires rs mucl
talent, tact, judgment and knowledge to be
good farmer rs in any occupation Of life, tn,
professions not excepted. Thank God, III,
country begins to feel this, and the Order o
Patrons of Husbandry is one step toward tn,

Our Advertiser.

OF the merchants but few are represent
ed in our columns, because the FARMER ,oiU
speak out in favor of the workingman, even
though the truth interferes with the profits
Of some rich advertising patron, causing him
to withdraw his patronage from the paper.
But the few of our advertisers who are at
home, and nearly all of the many away from
home, are gentlemen whom we know to be
trustworthy and reliable, and in dealing
with whom our readers will not be in danger
of being swindled.
Among those at home who show their faith
tin printers ink and the VERMoNr-FARMER)
by their works we notice VIM. II. Nelson and
Shorev Il Bailey, who do as they agree
by their patrons and consequently have a
thriving and increasing business. Switser &
Eastman are doing good thing by them
selves and their customers in the upholstery
line. Stevens Bros. do the square thing in
the clothing line, and their work is always
first class and up with the styles; Under
wood will sell either suit or the cloth to
make it of at low figure. We don't claim
any of them 60 below the Boston prices Of
the goods the Sovereigns buy, but a man
often wants TO have suit made to order, or
he may choose to see his goods before
purchasing, and these are the places to 60.
Nuts file works have a well-established
name or INSCRIPTIONS parties would not
counterfeit it or represent themselves as his
agents, as they have done. Cowdery is
right on hand with his Attic milk pan and
cooler, and this is the time of year to buy.
Streeters boots and shoes and Harriman's
brass foundry need no mention; they are
known. Bonetts fowls, too, are all he
claims. I. G. Haynes knows how to make
picture, and how to get and keep CUSTOM
eTs.
AS might be expected the large general
circulation Of the paper draws consdera-
Bile percentage of foreign advertising and
cleaner list of advertisements, with fewer
swindles, or low, filthy advertisements from
that class of vampires who, through the der
ELECTION of the press, prey upon the credu-
lity especially of the young, we believe can
not be found in the state. ClossOn and
Cheney tell about their nurseries, and the
number of seed advertisements is too great
for enumeration. In these columns you find
everything, from ST. book on painting to
the sl6O American Encyclopedia" in the
book line, or in the line Of tools and machin-
cry from 40 cents worth Of needles to $50
or $40 knitting machine, or a $50 riding
harrow horse hoes plows, milk pans Of
several patterns, sewing machines, &c. IN

A Growl From Lincoln.

The most silly anti-graDge efusion We
have yet fallen in with appears in last weeks
Register as a communication dated at Lin
coin, where the opposers of the grange are
said to be running an independent institu-
ton Of their own.
This writer says, FIRST, that the grangers
are going to buy manufactured goods so
cheap that it will not pay to manufacture
them. They do no such thing. They only
ask the manufacturer to sell to them, by the
quantity, on the same terms that he would
sell to the merchant. And where the mer-
chant gets a discount for cash they want
that discount, for they buy for cash. "The
middlemau must live and he would rather
pay good price for his provisions than to
raise them" says our friend. Yes; and
where has he got this good price which he
prefers to pay rather than work for his hv-
ing? He has got it in the profit on goods
he has sold to those same farmers. If the
farmer can get his goods from the manutac-
turer aud save this profit, and sell his pro-
visions to the man who toiled to produce the
manufactured goods, and the poor middle
man, in spite of his preference the other
way, is obliged to raise his own corn and
patatoes, the former is the gamer, for in
stead of having to raise provision enough to
feed both producer and middeman in order
to get his goods, he has got them in return
for provision enough to satisfy the producer
only.
"The more merchants, mechanics, sales
men, lawyers, &C., the less farmers the less
farmers, the more their produce brings"
That u.s. if there are fifty workmen in viii
lage manufacturing articles that farmers
want, and ten dealers who buy these articles
at short price and sell them to the farmers
at the long price, the farmers are better of
because they have ten more men to feed in ex-
change for these goods than they would be
if there were but fifty to feed. This may
be conclusive argument to the farmers club
but it "don't go down" with the grange.
"a granger" in this weeks Register
very coolIy aud sensibly replies to the rufaed
Lincolnite. The following is an extract
from his answer

The New Postal Law.

Congress has just passed one Of the most
unjust aud obnoxious laws in regard TO the
post Office department yet on record, that
doubling the postage on all transient news
papers, pamphlets, etc. We heard promi-
nent express mau make the boasting remark
few days ago that it took money to run
the machine at Washington, aud that all the
fat dinners recently "set up" to members Of
congress there had not been devoid of results.
While mail matter went through the post
Office at the rate of 8 cents per pound, it
was the means of taking hundreds Of dollars
daily out of the hands Of the express
A combination Of these companies was then
necessary 30 devise means to have this state
of affairs changed, regardless of right or
Justice. No better means seem to have been
devised than their attendance at Washing
ton, with an unlimited supply Of money to
stuff those hungry congressman, who arc ever
ready to sell both body and soul to the high
est bidder. The new law as well as being
an outrage on publishers, deserves the atten-
ton ofstockmen, seedmen, agricultural dealers,
etc., in fact all classes OF men who are send
ing catalogues, pamphlc Is, ETC., by mail by
the Thousand. 1t will be remembered that
yet seeds can be sent by mail at 10 cents
per pound, while to send them by express it
will cost from 25 cents to Sl00 according
to distance. 1t will be well to bear this
fact in mind, and on every occasion when it
can be done, use the post Office in preference
to express companies, aud by so doing the
returns from the "big dinners" will not be As
large as anticipated. But who knows what is
to come neIt2 Perhaps by a few more wine
suppers they will succeed in having seeds
declared as not mailable matter or all arti-
cles over ounces have to go by express
The thought Of such a thing is Of course
ridiculous, yet is not impossible orimproba-
BILE, for that money, wine and women will
move worlds at Washington is a tact beyond
doubt.-Farmers Journal.
