Col. V. X. Piollet, State Lecturer for
the Patrons Of Husbandry, delivered an interest
Ing lecture to a large audience Ia the Court
House, on Tuesday evening, the 18th inst. Mr..
piollct Ia pleasant and foreible speaker and the
manner in which he presented the subject to his
farmer friends should be cs great benefit to item,
II they heed the advice which he gave them. It
Is a lameptable TACT that farmers have never had
control over the sale Of their products, but have
always been subject TO the will Of the buyer, dis
posing Of the products Of the farm at jua such
prices as the consumer felt like paying for it.
This great difficulty the Oranges throughout the
country propose to regulate in precisely the sane
manner as the merchant and Manufacturer regn-
late the price o. their wares And why should 1t
not be 50! IL It not just as reasonable to step
into store and make your own prices for the ar
tcles offered for sale BY the merchant, as to name
price for the products Of the farmi But the
merchant will not allow you to do this, and the
farmer will-thai Is the difference between them.
Mr.. Piollet holds that farmer should have the
same privilege as Is accorded to the merchant and
the manufacturer; he should have the same right
to set price on bushel Of potatoes, a dozen Of
eggs or pound Of butter that the store keeper
has TO az the price Of yard Of calico, a quart Of
moiasses or pound Of tes. This Is justice and
rightsnd the purpose Of the farmers in organizing
their oranges Is to meet together for mutual eoun-
sel in this matter and thus bring their profession
to an equal footing with merchants and manu-.
facturers.
