thoughtful article on the labor plank
in the Ohio republican platform, de.

directed to the incompetency of the

competency of the federal government
to interfere in the internal affairs of q

it denounces the French plan of keep,

it advocates its introduction as q solu,

way to reconcile the two positions is to
hold that the general government has

o SWINDLERS.

We III our citizens against a Ger.
tain class of cloth swindlers who are
operating in the northern part Of the
State, and, will, in all probability,
visit this section, before summer is
over. This is the way they do their
business. They sell nothing for cash.
They call at a farm house, throw out
eighteen yards of cloth, worth So a
yard, and offer it at 60 cents a yard.
If the farmer h~esitates they throw
down another piece for SO, and fin
ally, to clinch the trade, they offer to
discount the whole and make it. $40
for the lot, or perhaps they will offer
a dress pattern or two for the women.
They don't want the money, times are
hard, and crops poor; they will wait
six or nine months, and take a note.
That usually settles it. The farmer
anxious to make a good bargain,
takes the cloth, and gives his note for
$40. The next thing he learns is that
his note for s110 is due, and is in
possession of q bank or broker who
has purchased it for q valuable o n
and he has it to pay. Ifthey
are offered cash for any of their goods
they say they are only agents Of a
Chicago house, and are not allowed to
make cash sales; the house made its
money by the interest on the notes.

cities-the changes produced by the
great railroads of the State, and the
new markets opened up in the west
"a necessity for a change in the
old system of farming in northeast
Missouri does not nov appear, the day
Is not far distant, when this change
will take place. The history of this
country is full Of such changes. Forty
years ago western New York was a
great wheat producing region-Row
dairying in all its branches is the
chief occupation of the farmers. The

Illinois or Missouri, lit is better adpat-
ed to grass than anything else. The
character of our soil, and its produc-

milk to st. Louis, from that place. is
no longer an experiment, but is an
established success.
Some four or five farmers within
two miles from the depot are engaged
in tina business, and the fact that they
are enlarging their business, and
have now been at it for four or five
years shows conclusively that they
are prospecting and making msney.

ceiving II Ia cents per gallon dur

for freight or expressage, and every
