Farmers and Socialists.


Until recently it has been the general be-
lief that the great number Of farm owners in
this country would form an etiectual barrier
against any assault upon rights of property
But it has come to pass that many farmers
have adopted ideas essentially communistic in
two respects. A very large number Of them
ton of the currency, in order to secure high
er nominal prices for land or products. Tho
fact that enormous sales of breadstutfs abroad
are effected only because the prices here are
low, and that the farmers themselves would
be the chief sufferers if imitation should so
raise prices as to check exports, does not have
weight with them Neither do they rightly
estimate the enormous losses OF commup,-
ty which result from reputation of debts.
These farmers think only of immediate gains
lighter taxes and higher prlces-and they
find themselves in unnatural alliance with So
cialists who are as hostile to ownership of
land as to ownership of bonds, and whose
real purpose is to destroy the savings of all
who have accumulated property, and to pace
on level in rewards the shftless spendthrft
and the most thrifty and enterprislug accu-
mulator of wealth.
The farmers are likely to be the chief suf.
lerers from the prevalence of communstic no.
tions. Money-lenders can protect themselves,
and when debased public opinion and de-
bauched law gives them no protection, they
levy the heavier tax upon the community
which foolishly tries to plumber them. Deal
ers, brokers and merchants also have GER
tain power of self protection, which they are
not slow to exercise. But the farmers, who
are the owners OF great part of the real es-
tate, have to pay the larger share of the In
creased taxes which bad faith inevitably
caused, apd, as producers of the articles
which are most affected in price by increase
or decrease of foreign demand, they suffer
more than anybody else from imitation of cur
rency or hope of imitation. To whatever ex.
tent the ideas Of Socialists prevails in this
country, the farm-owncrs will pay much OF
the cost, and the help which some of them
are giving to schemes of reputation and in
ilation will bring greater loss upon them than
upon any other class of citizens. 1t would
be well if all the farmers in the country
could read with care the wild statements
made by Socialists before the Congressional
committee Sensible property would
find therein less occasion for laughter than
for Indignation.

Mr.. Hale's Nomination.

The Republican convention for the Fifth
now know what they have to meet in the
coming canvass. The man who has for FIVE
consecutive terms walked over the course is
again in nomination. There can BIZ no hope
of defeating Mr.. Hale by Misrepresentation
or abuse. lie is an able man, with nation
al reputation, and personal popularity. This
may as well be acknowledged, as humiliat-
ingly to assert that the party has for ten
years been beaten by candidate who con-
spicueusly lacks these qualities. Nothing is
gained by undertaking opponents.
The speeches of Blaine and Hale presented
the financial issue as the one on which the
battle is to be fought. 1t has been selected
with great judgment, and their position is
strong one. because it is right, as time will
show. The only way for Democrats to pre-
serve their self-respect, or to have a shadow
Of hope for success now or in the future, Is to
adopt anew the sound money platform of the
State convention of 1874, 1875 or 1876 The
resolutions of the present year are receiving
soft money Interpretation, of which those
of the years named are entirely incapable.
This is no time for timidity, twaddling or
currying favor with greenback folly. The
Congressman has a vote that directly reaches
the currency question, and there are many,
very Many Democrats who are determined
that their votes next September shall sustain
candidate who is and has been sound on
this important issue, and whose platform
shall declare for sound money, without a
shadow Of equivocation.
