November issue, makes a spirited
call 90 the farmers to which they
ought TO respond with tneciu9l &C
lion Ag5iculturessays the Planter,
lies at the basis Of al prosperity,
vet those whom the farmers elevate
TO power seem 10 consider them
selves the masters instead Of The
servants Of the people, and the man
ufacturing interest is pampered and
subsidized, and the farmer must pay
the expense. Not only must they
pay, but they must bear the inso
lence Of the monopolisis when they
proclaim, as they did at Chicago two
weeks ago, that they must have pro
lection for the sake Of protection
that what they require Is not taxa
ton for reveBrs with incidental pro
lection, but taxation for protection
with occidental revenue. The man

they are like the individual spoken
of in Scripture who "waxed fat and
kicked" b" The plump, prosperous,
well-fed monopolist no longer i'm
plores aid; he demands contribu
tions He does not require foster
ing assistance for yet untried enter
prise, but tribute to his ovelflowing
purse and subseryence 10 his over
bearing demands. The, quietness
and fOrboarance with which tue
American farmers have borne the
unconscionable FACTIONS wrung
from them in support Of these mann
moth monsters, ted and reared on
the lavish subsidies they have been
allowed to grasp, is amazing. How
such outrage, injustice, insolent de
mand aud naughty exaction can be
borne and tolerated is astounding to
thosewhO think Of u--astonnding
that the Iargcst class of the Ameri-
can people should submit to such
impositon and wrong. "Let The
farmers, says the Planter with
right split, awake, arouse, and hurl
to tue dust these shatkles OF tyranny
and oppression The time for ac-
ton is at hand Think of it--forty
seven million five hundred thousand
American people paying tribute to
$500, 900 = The Planter proceeds
10 show that the paper monopoly
wrings $1,000, 600 a year from the
patient rcop lankets SIS, 900 600,
WOO good 100, 1000 steel aad
iron rails S2o,GJ0,000. these sums
are squef zed out of narrow purses
every year tor the benefit not of the
country's government, but OF the
poor, suffering, harrassod, down
lroiden monopolist? No wonder
the Planter expresses anazcment.
And now, farmers, how long is th S
to last, how long are you to be
"clcaned out" like a greenhorn in O
gambling den: The monopolists
are about to supplement their meet
ING at Chicago with another at New
York, and among the thingsN they
arc moving heaven and earth for is
thc restoration of the duty on qnin-
inc, and the doubling of the duty on
iron ties, taxing you seventy per
cent because the thirty-tive per
cent they now llunder you Of does
not satisfy their greciihess. Con
grcss Is about To meet, and the
monopolisls are meeting beforehand
that they may rivet their victims e
shackles yet hrmer and Give into
their pockets yet deeper. They
know the tariff is about to be revis-
ed, and they meet and crow, and
buster that they may overawe the
farmer who pays all, and have the
tariff rearranged in their favor at the
countr, S expense. 1he monopo-
4 lists are meeting and arranging their
/ baiis and traps; what arc the taxed
and defraudcd doing The farmers,
are they meeting, Instructing their
representatives, and preparing their
/ petitions to Congress ? They are
/ the majority ofthe nation, at their
bidding down goes monopoly; let
them sit still whining about taxes
aud lamCnting their hardshirs, and
leave il to their Unsuitable cormorant
enemies to meet aud act, and bring
all their energies to bear, and the
leeches that suck and ever cry

upon them at their will, and what is
worse, the craven imhecility that
has silently and indolenuy submit
