FARMERS ON A SrRIKE.-The World
is surely coming 10 an end. The continued
discussion OF the food question and econom-
ical living has. it appears, =" "riled" the
farmers, and according to the rural cores
Pondent OF the Alexandria Gd-etfe they are
contemplating a general rise not only in
his county but throughout the State, and
beyond her boariers TO the wide extent OF
the country, for the reason that they don't
think they are getting enough for their pro
duce, and as they can sfford to keep it and
don't care fig about what becomes of the
other classes OF the countrys population
ihey intend to do so until the merchants
come TO terms and pay them increased
prices. He also says that as the merchants
can import produce cheaper than, under the
proposed rise" they can buy it from
American farmers. they will probably At
tempt to obtain supplies that way, but that
II they do the farmers will assemble in
force at the several ports and prevent the
ships from landing. and that. though the
government may disperse them the cost il
will be put to will show the immense pow
er they possess, and be constant source ot
terror in future. This CORES pondent aptly
exhibits the straits 10 which every bod y
would be put II the principles OF the strik
srs were carried 10 their legitimate ends.

ECONOMICAL MATTERS. Some of the
newspapers are arguing in favor of econo-
my IN living. They say that a fami-
y can live very well without many of the
lu1uries which are now very high. Sugar
is one of these articles which might be dis.
pensed with very frequently; or on an av-
erage three times a week. Coffee is anoth
er for which milk might be substituted. 1t
is urged that if this restraint was general,
and practiced for a short time, the price of
both sugar and coffee would be reduced to
the old prices before the war. This sounds
reasonable enough, and is undoubtedly
true. An economical farmer who uses
milk and aostains from sugar and coffee
thus makes money easier than he can in
any other way and no doubt is tree from
the serious effects which the constant use
OF cofee has upon the nerves. Other Of our
exchang papers assert that the excessive
use OF butter is an extravagance in Amer.
ca that is found in no other country-that
Il is only custom which, while butter is
nigh, every economist ought TO abandon
This may be running the discussion into
the ground. but nevertheless is true. When
