of bankruptcy.
4 revision of the patent laws of the
United States is 3 subject TO You of
interest and Importance. The cur
rencY or interest question, that is the
all absorbing question of the day,
ranks as the most important subject
that can be brought to your attention.
| ask the producers of this country,
What are the causes of the unequal
distribution of wealth We see a
class OF men who produce nothing roll
ing in wealth, with fortunes varying
from hundreds TO millions of dollars,
in contrast with the average farmer
OF Limited means, who is taxing all
his energies 10 make ends meet, who
in the race of life is distanced in spite
of his efforts of industry, Intelligence
and honesty; who is lucky il he can
keep the farm clear OF mortgage and
himself free from debt, and can edu
cate his children, and afford his fami-
~ the comforts of our present clvilza-
ton. How is it that the most useful
class in the land, those who should be
the most fortunate and independent,
are the most oppressed, the hardest
worked and the poorest paid. It is
true there are instances of wealth
among farmers, but they are excep
;ions. As whole the American
farmer is a toiIing, overworked man,
from the beginning to the close OF
life. The real and true causes are
high rates Of interest, combined with
high transportation aud high priced
manufactures. When farming, the
productive industry of a country, that
underlies the prosperity Of all other
kinds Of business, only pays at the
rate of3t per cent, as reported BY the
census OF 1870, how can the farmer
pay from 10 to ~ per cent? As
class we hold in our hands vast
power. One half the voting class are
agri ,u!tursts Is it not folly to com
pla i of grievances when we have
the numerical strength to redress
them? The ballot is in your hands.
Under the name Of party,party, party
fraud and infamy is visited upon us.
Party, when organized for honest and
legitimate purposes that will secure
the best results aud inure to com
mon benefit, is beneficial but never
let us be led astray so far that exact
ing capital can compromise our honor
and question orr claim to intelligent
places of honor, trust and responsible
ity. Let the showers Of imputed
ignorance, which falls so heavily upon
the farming classes, be an incentive
that shall bring forth a more general
diffusion of education among
farmers. Let us dig deep and
lay broad the foundations, using brains
as the corner stone on which to build,
and we may not be "hewers of wood
and drawers of water" for others if
we will but use the mind that God
has given US. Let us this Centennial
year anew set our sail, stand by the
rudder and compass, start out anew,
anG boldly upon life's journey contend
manfulIy for equal rights, and success
will be our reward in the race OF life.
