rHE TRUE INDEPENDENT.

Out of debt. on a snug bit of well-tlled
land. the frugal farmer who feeds and
clothes his family we'll and lays by small
surplus, can look on the financial troubles
of his CITY peiqhbors with as much secur-
ity as the lsndsman OF Lucretius looked
from a safe promontory upon the perils of
a laundering ship. Other banks may IAN,
lint his home bank always yields an hon
est dividend. Dishonest clerks cannot
run away with its shares, and fire can not
destroy them. The seasons will come

ing all adm nistrations with unfailing reg
ularity. Ii be avoids the dangerous qnag-
mire of speculation and refuses TO buy
what he cannot pay for or to sell what he
has not got. he is safe as mortal can hope
TO be. So he reads in one paper how

He reads OF another New Yorker who
recently had half a million in banking
house. 1t failed, and he is now pennies.
Vanderbilt, one of the most successful
men of his day. said that needed more
talent to take care of money than 1t did to
make il. So, the man who complains OF
the hum-drum monotony of farm life,
may console himself with the reelection
that 1t offers greater peace OF mind and
fewer chances of failing than city lite,
which is of necessity dependent on The
success and honesty of others. The fail
ure or dishonesty OF one prominent trades
man often destroys so others in CONNER
cial life. The farmer is nearest to indie
pendence by virtue Of his calling.
City life itself would be much better for
those who are engaged in its Legitimate
business if the army of idlers who burden
the city were dispersed properly through
out the country. Every idIer becomes a
care to others. tor he must be fed and clad
bv some means or other. il not by fair
means. by foul. or by charity, which has
a tendency to lessen his feelings OF indie
pendence. The cities whose population
depend on one another for employment
are in the nature OF the case dependent.
They are houses which rest on props,
whose weakening endangers the whole
structure. The country is the place where
:large proportion of the unemployed
must go TO find independence, boon
which their own hands can dig out of the
earth, the source of all wealth.-LoatS-
