A WORD TO FARMERS.

Farmers, let us stop, but yet go
on.
Let MS stop complaining of hard
times, and unite Ill trying to i'm
prove matters.
Let us stop abusing our mer-
chats, before we force them, in self
defense, to abuse us; for their en-
terprise and foreign credit have
kept the wolf from many u door
during the last eight years, and the
most of them are as c.evcr anu gen.
erous as we could wish them to be.
Let us stop curslng the lawy ers,
for we have found them as true to
us, when their services We're de-
manded, as any other class ot our
people.
Let us stop abusing the money
lenders. for like farmers and all
other men, they are entitled to the
market price for their commodity,
and 1t Is due to our inprovidence
wnen that price Is too high.
Let us work out our destiny, in q
pi oiession that is AS honorable now
as 1t was i'll tue days of our fathers,
with envy fur none, and good feel
Ill. toward all.
Let us cease saying hard things
of the good old Democratic party,
and give it iuil credit for the many
benefits IT las bestowed upon us
since 1875, and remember that the
man who wants otnce Is not neces.
sarily IL better man than tue one
who holds office.
Let US stop importing our sup.
phi, from abroad and unite in ne.
v, oping the resources OF our coun.
/ try, and determine to bend all oul
9 e,si,s ~ building up our cities
lowns. villages, Counties aud State
i-Er.

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

Alter due consideration of the
stu .tion resultant from the exist
ence of this highly Objectionable
treaty, we unite our protest with
that of the Price Current, against
its continuation, and hope that the
next Consrt SIS will take the neces
,ary steps at as enrly II date as pos
.ible for its abrogation.
What possible reasons could have
prevailed i'll the councils of the ma
lpn that should cause such a COM
plete destruction of the interests of
our sugar planters, it is difficult to
conceive, as it must he palrable to
tile most casual observer that the
price of labor and cost of cultiva-
ton would render it impossible for
home production to compete with
foreign sugars, unless it was pro-
tected by tariff which would shut
out foreign monopoly of one of our
own stal les, which has been pro-
luctive of vast benefit. not only to
the planter, but to those who Were
employed by him, as we'll as to the
country.
Unless Congress takes the desired
action, it is evident that the sugar
planting interests of the United
Seates will be virtually destroyed,
or, to save themselves, planters Will
be compelled to employ u class OF
laborers who have always been pro-
nounced highly objectionable, as
well as inexperienced, ut the ex-
pense of those who are familiar
with the various modes of sugar
cultivation, and who, as laborers,
constitute an important component
of Southern communities.-Country

So 100000, 1000, solid increase of

LETTER FROM NEW ORLEANS
New ORLEANS, Oct. %, 1879.

EDITOR ST. TAMuANY FARMER:
No one seems to be able to tell
"why," but every consumer is pain
fully aware of the continued adj
vance i'll price of nil staples i'll the
grocery line Flour is up, SO is
meat, and corn is almost out OF
sight.
Some say that good times Will
follow in the wake of this advance;
let US hope they are correct.
The painters i'll the city seem to
be very busy, Judging from the
number of newly painted houses
one sees on every street; aud us fol
new signs, they are too numerous
and too varied in design to men
ton.
One thing I am sorry to note
the very many 'gin palaces that
are being opened and fitted up i'll
gorgeous style, to entice the weak
hearted, everywhere, anywhere.
They spring up where IL better bust
ness would not live month; and
that drunkenness is on the increase
can be noted from the number OF
stagserers daily to be seen on tue
streets.
The daily intercourse with your
town from here, during the sum-
mer, has done much to make known
the advantages that Corlngton aud
vicinity possess as Summer resort,
both for health and convenience;
and if the citizens of Covington will
enlist themselves III the interest OF
the projected railroad between youl
town aud Vaudeville, that road
: will give an impetus to business Ill
; your section, that years of steani-
boat and schooner traffic could moi
give it.
There is not the slightest doubt
that this road will be built within
the next six months, if Covingtoi
saws that it shall be done-and she
has the way made clear for her i'll
which to build the road.
The gallant Heroine is now being
thoroughly overhauled and repair
ed, and made ready for next sum
mer's campaign, which will be the
: liveliest that has ever been carried
on between your town and this
: city. Mr.. Coyle will be q competi-
tor; So also will Mr.. Swartz. and d
party from the North, for the fayors
Of the "dear capricious public,

AMERICAN CATTLE.
Their Importation Prohibited
by the British Government.

NEW YORK, January 3l.-The news
that the British Government has pro-
hibted the importation OF live cattle
from America, has created considerable
excitement among shippers OF live
stock and also among ship owners, sew
elal lines of steamers running from this
and other ports having made large con-
tracts ahead for 70.
The Post says that during the summer
months OF last year many OF the steam
ers OF the National line were es-
pecially fitted up amp wholly de-
voted 10 the business, the cattle
shipped by a single vessel often
numbering more than 400. The alleged
decision OF the English Government
was entirely unexpected. The present
is the duliest time in the trade, but
even now there are probably more than
| 800 head OF cattle on their way tn
England, Two cargOes consigned by
Goldsmith x Police, arrived at Liver
pool Yesterday, and Phillips said he hal
received no word from their agent there
OF any attempt tU prevent their land
ing. The British vice-consnl says he
has no official notification of any at
tempt on the part Of the British Gov.
ernment to prevent the importation OF
American cattle had been received.
WASmIHGToS, January 3l-Thc British
Minister has informed the Department
of State, plcuro pneumonia having been
detected in cargo Of cattle, on the ship
Ontario, from Portland, Her Majcsty's
government is considering whether they
can retain the United States under the
exemption OF part four OF the fifth
schedule Of the act Of 1873.

the subject as follows: 1t is a question
OF great vital importance, not only 10
the people Of this State, but the entire
south. Itis = question that ought to
be acted upon now. We send our mem
hers Of Congress To- legislate for Us, and
this House, whether wisely or unwisely,
has seen tit % instruct those gentlemen
what they shall do. Now sir, this dis
cusSion in the newspapers is simply an
explanation Of the matter, as TO whether
this House had the right 10 instruct them
or not, and sir, let Ine say, 1t Is not
the policy uf the Democratic party 10
instruct and request their Senators to
do anything. The battle flag OF re
trenchment and reform in 1876 was
.cc0nOmy, and ii VIC are going to take
