For Farmers.

| The Greenback organs do not scruple to
resort to lies and forgery to advance the in
terests of their party. We do not wonder
they are breaking to pieces with family quar-
rels. If they have no regard for truth and
Justice when dealing with those outside their
party, they will have none for members Of
their own household, and of course the re.
suit will be bitter family quarrels, such as
have already appeared publicly in this State
They have been publishing and are still
continuing TO publish, as the sentiments of
the New York Times, statements for which
that paper has again and again denied any
responsibility, and with which it has assert
ed that it has no sympathy. Still the Green
hackers keep the lie going to deceive their
readers. and probably will do so until cleo
ton In late article the Times says
There is a statement going around, cred
tied to this paper, representing the farmers
Of the country Ms distressed, down trodden
and worried class, for whom there is no re-
lief but through the possession of the soil by
new owners who shall let 1t out to tenants.
As we have repeatedly declared, this does
not express our opinion, or the opinion OF
any thoughtful student, of the condition of
the country. Although we have repeatedly
explained that fact, repudiated all RESPONSE
biity for the statement, ana denounced the
persistency with which We have been credited
with it, with invincble vitality it still turns
up in Greenback organs, credited to the
Timer, a. though it were an expression of
its opinion. In fact, the condition of our
farmers is hopeful, and what they need to
assure their prosperity, is not higher prices
for everything-what they buy as we'll as
what they sell-whlch would not benefit them.
but stability Of values and the same standard
of monetary measuren ent here as in the foreign
markets, which substantially control the
prices of agricultural products. They are
the greatest losers by fluctuations and uncer-
tainty in the currency, on account of being
the first among producers and the last among
consumers in the circuit of the exchanges,
and afflicted by all the intermediate manipu-
lations. Others speculate on changes, actual
and prospective, due to variations in the cur
rency, and they pay the profits of the specu-
latIon, while with specie basis and a gold
standard, these variations could not occur,
and they would receive and pay only just
and legitimate prices.

The Example of France.

Greenback orators express great deal Of
admiration at the promptness with which the
French government paid off the war ndemni-
ty to Germany. They don't mention that the
government is in debt tor every dollar of the
indemnity, having raised the money by loan
for which its rentes, OF government bonds
were issued at five per cent. interest. The
facts chiefly worthy of notice in the payment
of the indemnity to Germany were the alacri-
ty with which the bonds were taken by the
French when they were placed upon the mar
ket, and the general diffusion of them among
all classes of the people OF course the bonds
would not have sold as readily as they did
had there not been confidence that the gov
eminent would keep its pledges with its cred
itors. Nobody and no party in France has
mentioned the idea OF reputation, since the
bonds were issued. Very different has been
the case in this country, where from first to
last our war loans have had to contend with
schemes of reputation, and where party
now exists that is clamoring to pay them off
with irredeemable greenbacks. Had it not
been for the incessant talk of reputation kept
up IN this country, our war debt would have
been far less than it was at the close of the
rebellion, and might have been all funded at
four per cent. Regulators weakened conf
dence in the government, thereby increased
the debt and interest, and now they clamor
because the burdens OF the people are so
heavy :! The burdens of the people would
not have been 50 heavy had it not been for
the haranguing of disloyal men during the
war and Communists since the war. Just at
the talk of peace democrats and the resolves
OF peace conventions, while the war was in
progress, added to the length, destruction
and cost OF the war, so all meas urcs which
tended to weaken faith in the financial abil
~ or honesty of the government, only
swelled the public debt and increased the
burden Of interest thrown upon the taxpay.
ers OF the country.
An able writer speaking a the manner in
which the French paid the indemnity saws
ITO have their names in the Grand LIRE Of
the public debt is an honor eagerly sought
after by the masses of the people" Here
"bondholders'' are regarded by Grecnbackers
as having no rights which anybody is bound
to respect. Tie same writer also saws
"During all the recent enormous drain upon
her resources, which has nearly doubled he,
national debt, there has not been heard any.
where among the French people the slightest
hint of Reputation. That which dema
gogues are continually preaching to the la
boring cIasses in England and in this country
is practically unknown, even as an idea, in
France, and if it were preached, would BE-
met with an almost unanimous cry Of repro
baton from one end Of the land to the other $
If Mr.. Leo Miller and other Greenback
demagogues would initiate the example Of
France they would have to stop talking &c.
