A Farmer and Laborer's Opinion.

The Lewiston Journal publishes let
ter addressed. to Hon. VIM. =. Frye, By
William Lowell oil Mipot, farmer and
three score years and ten, from which
we copy the following;
"In my view, the greatest danger that
threatens the country at the present time.
and one which needs the watch OF the
statesman, is the greenback movement.
It's tendency is bad II appeals 10 the
preiudces oil the laboring man, sets him
against the capitalist, arrays the en-
ployed against the employers, leads the
poor man and lsborer 10 believe be IS the
abused party. Place all the industries OF
the country under the greatest tide oil
success, with the present influx OF the
population aud our own waiting popula-
ton, there would be 3 greater supply OF
laborers than demand. The ordinary
course OF trade and business cannot give
employment 10 the great surplus oil la
borers. Then again, think OF those who
chose idleness, ready to embark IN any
aud ali causes OF complaint whether real
or imaginary, for what they can gain by
plunder-such as would be glad TO have
sill property confscaled and divided up
among them-any political policy that
fosters this spirit of distrust and excites
enmiiy TO the rich is pernicious and des-
truc,ive in its influences, and detrimental
10 the whole country.
need not go on and speak OF The late
riots and destruction to property-all
these occurrences ought to put the guard
ans OF the country on the watch and
compel preparation to meet any future
emergency"
