Letter From Pennsylvania
LEBANON, PA, Feb. 20, 1876.

LEBANON, PA, Feb. 20, 1876.
Dear Independent:
Habit must be second nature. with
laws and regulations almost as mex
orable as those which govern the old
Dame; so my quill has got SO habit
uated to holding daily converse with
the readers of the INDEPENDENT
that it seems unnatural to omit the
pleasure.
Our people have nearly all travelled
over the rich and fertile fields of the
Cumberland Valley, and it has also
been the subject of newspaper COM
ment. Starting in from Harrisburg
on the Reading and Philadelphia
Railroad, We strike the Lebanon
Valley, which, if anything, is richer
andmore productive than the one first
mentioned. The farms are smaller,
better fenced, the houses are neat,
and the barns look like large houses
in their shape and well-cared-for sur
roundings. For miles on either side
of the railroad so thick are the houses
and barns on account of the small
ness of the farms, that one would al
most presume long and prosperous
village was spread out along the en-
tire line.
Everything looks thrifty and pros
porous, the improved lime stone land
bringing readily from S175 toS200 per
acre. The reason of this is the farm
ers do not attempt to cultivate too
much land, but makes every foot of
it valuable by increasing its produc-
tive qualities. Thus population is
more dense and land more valuable.
Lebanon county has 3400 inhabitants.
Lebanon, the county seat is a Thrift
ty growing town of 5000 inhabitants
and has five banks, two daily and five
weekly papers. There are three other
banks in the county. The people
arequiet and industrious and there
is considerable Of local wealth. In
this county are the famous Cornwall
ore hills, almost a perfect mountain
of iron ore, uneXcelled in quality and
ineXhaustible in quantity. l hope
to get out to see them before my re-
turn. Martinsburg is tolerably well
represented here at present by
Messrs G. J. Faulkner, Jr., Frank
Patterson, f. Il. Small, George f.
Smith and James Berger.
Time and opportunity Offering you
may hear again from this locality.
Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1876-03-04

matter, you get your money back,
and your Sc or $40 as the rate may
be; there is no risk on your part,
none at au, aud yet you pirate of
consistency! All! my worthy
compeer, don't you know that
you must practice the precept you
preach, before you can expect it
to bear weight with those who sit
under the sound of your voice.
Last, though not least, the con-
Guiding remarks of this pointless
harrangue go farther toward prov
ing how earnestly the farmers
should wish to have candidate of
their own choosing in office, than
any illustration or evidence |
might venture to adduce. Il is
from such men as "No Granger"
the farmer needs protection; men,
who, safe in the security of their
$500 taxes, sit back and presume
to affix limit to the farmers
privileges; bid him tend his land
only, not desire q candidate in office,
and let alone interfering with
other mems business! So, this laud-
able concern in the legislation of
his country, and the promotion of
his interests, belongs exclusively
to "other men; - the farmer is
tabooed class, forsooth! Oh! /
think not; not while we can look
back to CiDcinnatus, leaving his
pillow to conquer the Volsci, and
Equi, and to Washington, the
Farmer-President of our then
young republic!
Is it not time, Messrs. Editors,
that the farmers were educating
themselves in their own and their
country's interests? When we
read language as insolent and ty-
rannical as that which closes the
paper of mo Granger" we feel
that the Grange has not been or
ganized one day to soon. It is
from such legislation as men of
his stamp would effect, that the
farmers should cry, "Heaven de-
fend u.s."
We want true men to represent
US in our Nations Legislative
Halls, be he Granger or "No
Granger no matter, so he own
an honest heart, sound head, and
an eye awake to the needs of the
Am erican farmers.
