FARM LEE

Point out the avocation, if you can, that
holds in its keeping such magnificent gifts
and the giving in profusion the real COM
forts of life SO readily made to the honest
demands of faithful labor as life on farm.
The pleasures of the farm arise from nat
ural principles, and coming from such a
source have a primeval influence, and the
brightest scenes of enjoyment are made
concomitants of farm life. No need of
drudgery, slavery or serfdom, where all
the surroundings are of the strongest ten
dency in opposition. Their invitations
are ceaseless and persuasive to the farmer
who thinks and plans his business to sys-
tenn and keeps time to the wise regula-
tons of his own making.
Nature, ever true to her part, aids the
true cultivator in his work, from the ger
animation of the seed to the fully matured
crop. These two forces, acting in har-
monious concert, clothe the fields, gar
dens, orchards, vineyards, and the flower
beds with the beautiful green dress of the
forest, and with the initiating colors of all
the various wild plants. Then comes the
time of harvest and the season of flowers
to gladden. the heart and enliven the sense
OF the sturdy farmer. Well may he rejoice
in the results of his work
In the midst of his labors stands his
humble cottage, peeping from the deep,
cool shade; heaven of rest, sweetness
and repose-a home for the stranger, or
the casual visitor.--BoSton /nvcstioafor.

SUCCESS IN FARMING DE
MANDS PLUCK

In farming there is, strictly speaking,
no such thing as luck. The gambler may
be lucky in shutting his cards; the dice
player may make a lucky throw. The
farmers pursuit, his sowing and reaping,
is not game of chance; it is based on
knowledge, on scientific principles, on the
wise selection of means to ends, He will
hit his mark by the steadiness of his hand
the directness of his aim, the singleness of
his purpose. He will miss his mark when
his hand is weak, his sight double. his
will Facilitating. The conditions of sue
cess IN farming, as in all other pursuits. lie
IN the man himself They are bound mn
in his strong will, his cultured mind. his
practiced hand his determined purpose.
and IN his spirit of enthusiasm. Possess,
ing these requisites, he will triumph over
all obstacles; and in the end gain the vic
tory. What the farmer wants TODAY i

This wonderful machine is destined to
have an effect on the growth of the South
to an extent that few seem to realize It
VIII not come at once, of course; great
changes seldom are accomplished in a day.
But this machine has been at work for
some time; it is in all essential respects
perfect success. The past year has dem

FROM FLORIDA

Editor Patron. The Patrons of the
South should go to work and inaugurate
plan by which they can get money on
real estate to buy their supplies. We have
to mortgage to merchants who are not
worth five cents, in order to run cur farms,
and pay them from so 20 100 per cent for
all we buy. This state of things is ruin
ing my people in this State; they can
never get any better financially. Could
we get money at reasonable per cent to
run our farms, the best collaterals can be
given. For instance, the assessed value of
a farm is $500; it would be safe for any
bank to loan $50 on a mortgage thereon,
and With this $50 in cash, 500 worth of
supplies could be bought at the prices we
have to pay under the merchants system.
Our State Grange has a committee at
work in this direction now, The money
required to move our crops retires to the
banks towards spring, and during the
summer months there is a plethora of
money in the banks. The farmer needs
this money to use instead of having to
use his credit. If this system is inaugura
ted by leading Patrons throughout the
South, the farmers will appreciate and be
greatly benefited by it.

We suppose we may call it "boom. .
The circulation of THE PATRON is now
rapidly increasing, Receipts during the
month Of December were greater than for
any preceding month since the establish
ment of the paper in 1873. The most of
these subscriptions were from Texas, Ar

The politicians and the political press
of the cities deprecate the discussion of
financial question by the people. This is
subject, they think beyond the compre-
hension of common people, that should be
settled by merchants, lawyers and politi-
cal editors. Let the question of settling
some of the corrupt debts fosted upon the
people by carpet-bag governments be
touched upon by the people, and instantly
the Indignation of these worthless is
wrought up to the highest pitch, which
they give vent to in the most scurrilous
abuse and denunciation.
When the people refuse to accept an
unjust and unfair compromise with the
money spectators, as has been done in
Tennessee and Virginia, they are denoun-
ced as dishonest regulators. Well, call
it reputation. The people have been
robbed and oppressed without mercy, and
their rights trampled upon until they have
lost all patience, and they will not be ST.
fenced nor intimidated by the noisy abuse
of politicians and political editors. The
public >'ebtquestion is engaging the atten-
ton of the laboring people of this country
more closely than ever before, and the
more they examine it the stronger the
spirit of reputation becomes.

There will be tremendous effort made
to put the people, the democratic party,
completely under the feet of the national
bankers. This movement will be led by
such politicians as Bayard. Lamar and
Hampton, and supported by such journals
as the New York World and Louisville
Courier Journal. But it will fail. The
people will never supporta policy or set
of politicians that will put them, bound
hand and foot, at the mercy of the money
power. The bill offered by Senator Bay :
ard to destroy the greenback will be met
by storm. of popular ndignation.-Pu-
t,'on Of Hus6andry.
1t is a hopeful sign and very auspicious

ty to-day means not SO much an organiza-
ton for the dissemination of principles,
vital to the public veal, as it does me-
dunn through which the ambition of
crafty and corrupt men is satisfied. Sec
tons are enstranged, hatred and strife
between the people engendered, that pol
iticfans may get at the public crib, and
control legislation in the interest of labor

ARKANSAS STATE CHANGE.

The time is rapidly approaching for us
to assemble again in annual session-on
Tuesday after the 4th Monday in January
1880, at Arkadelphia. Let me urge upon
all those who have not already done SO, to
at once meet and make the necessary ar
engagements to have full representation
of the farmers of our State. We have the
intelligence; we have been blessed with
an abundant harvest; and while the
scourge has rested heavily on our neigh
bors, most of our territory has enjoyed the
blessings of good health. Then let us re-
turn our thanks, and show our apprecla.
ton of Divine favor by such acts as will
rebound to the elevation of our race, our
kindred, and our posterity. There are
none so humble but can do something.
We must first inform ourselves by taking
and reading our valuable papers, now re-
duced in price to the reach of every body.
Then we will be prepared to benefit and
build up our class.

The financial question is again bccom-
ing one of the leading questions OF the
day. 1t will doubtless be the leading
issue in the Presidential contest this year,
and may so engross the attention of the
country as to eliminate the sectional ques-
ton from our politics entirely.
The recommendation of Mr.. Hayes to
retire the greenbacl1s, and the bold move
ment of Senator Bayard to destroy their
legal tender quality, have thoroughly
aroused and alarmed the people. The
Money Power has become SO arrogant
from its continued success in shaping the
legislation Of the country, that it has final
ly thrown off all disguise, and announced
its purpose through its representatives in
Congress and the political press, to be
nothing less than to take into its own
hands the issuing and control of the paper
currency of the country. The resolution
of Senator Morgan in opposition to Sen
ator Bayard makes the issue clear be-
tween the Money Power and the laboring

party surrenders to Bayard and the Ma
tional Banks, its doom is sealed. The mass
es of party can never be induced to sup
port a Presidential ticket dictated by this
dangerous element.
The movement now going on to force
the Democratic party into surrender to
the National Banks, will be actively sup
ported by such journals as the New
York World, Louisville Courier Journal
and Memphis Appeal, and their influence
will be very great, for their circulation in
all the Southern States are numbered by
the thousands
The people should watch the move
ments of the Bayard class of politicians
with the closest scrutiny, and be prepared
to defeat every scheme to enlarge the
power of the National Banks. Petitions
| from farmers and laboring men should be
poured in upon Congress protesting
against the adoption of Senator Bayard's
resolution and not only opposing any legis-
lation to destroy the greenback, but de-
manding the abolition of the National
Banking system. The people must act
