Parson MASSEY, by abusing and o'aduc'na
.,Carv .cIsss Of ,ren VINO are the farmers
customers, and driving them atl into the
business OF agricullure-maksag them all
competitors visa the farmer In the markets
ntSthe world. and thus reducing prices to
theYery lowest figures.
/ Is Suppose Richmond hada million OF In
taabltants. Why East Virgiaia-aye' the
whole Stute-would blossom as the rose
He Is the most inexcusable enemy OF tue
farmer who denounces the classes that Dry
his products and thus tries to make them
all,enter into competition with the farmer
The farmers of Virginia are now suffering
: from excessive competition, not from sur
plus population of non.preducers. II IS
true, tbatthe people in cities and towns are
also complaining bitterly OF the low prices
paid to mechanics and others and OF the
ruinous competition in the channels OF
trade; but certainly these things do not IN
lure the farmer. The competition that
oyerwhelms the market with cheap wheat,
cheap tobacco, aud cheap corn, is what he
has to complain Of, il OF anything; and
this com petition Parson MASSEY would in
/ crease by his abuse of MI the classes, in the
community who now purchase what the
farmer raises.
But are the farmers such fools as to sup
pose that they have any real friends in
gang OF demagogues, who traverse the State
with their pockets full of money, complain
ing OF bard times and high taxes, though
! they never did an honest days work In their
lives? It is an insult to farmer to be
talked to in the way in which these unprin-
cipled demagogues talk to him. He should
resent such appeals. He will resent them
unless he is the miserable fool and tool thai
MASSEY IL Co. take him to be.
