The Case of the Farmers.
philadelphia Record.l


a farmer in Kent County, Delaware writes
10 the Record complaining OF the exceed
ingly low prices OF agricultural staples. He
says that his daily paper, which at first cost
him annually the value of four bushels of
corn, or two and one-half of wheat, now
takes fifteen bushels of corn, or seven and
one-haH of wheat, as its yearly toll. This is
remarkable; but il les expense is dssir-
able, this Delaware farmer and all others
can get the Record every day in the year for
the value Of about eight bushels OF corn, or
four and one-half OF wheat. And
no better investment can be made By any
farmer than years subscription to the Rec
ord at such low cost.
Many of those who live by the soil will be
inclined to agree with our Kent County
friend that low prices for farm products is
one Of the principal causes of what is popu-
lsrly known as "hard times" But If these
prices advance, SO does every other charge;
and the farmer remains poor. The truth is
that he is taxed too much on every thing he
uses, while his products are sold in the
worlds markets for what they will bring.
BE can help himself only by insisting that
the Durdensome taxes he pays shall be
lessened. These taxes are levied by the
Government on his tools, his clothing, his
rice, salt, sugar. and almost everything he
needs to make farm life tolerable or possible.
Let the farmers once resolve that these high
taxes snail come down, and they would not
stand unchallenged in Congress for day.
Our Delaware farmer thinks that all would
be well with the agriculturist If the bears
would only turn bulls and push prices up
ward Well, they do ttat occasionally, but
tseIe is no advantage to the grain grower.
He gets the foreign market rate, less cost of
transportation. The result is told in the
Tudely eloquent words of our Kent County
correspondent:
prices have gone down until thousands
OF farmers are ruined, end other thousands
that are not entirely ruined are crippled,
and have to use the old implements, and
wear the old coats, boots, hats, etc. The
country merchants have TO keep their goods
on their shelves, and the whole
sale dealer his, sghile the manufacturers,
for the want of orders, have TO stop
their machinery and turn out thousands of
operatives into idleness and want. This is
the whole secret of hard times, and unless
there is favorable change in the prices of
the great staples Of the farmer harder times
must follow. At present these prices are
less than the cost OF production, and the
farmer who has laid nothing by in better
times mustgo to the wall, as thousands have
done, still further increasing the army of
unemployed"
The farmer who lives on his own land and
keeps outof debt is sure of fortune bat this
is condition which is yearly becoming
rarer aiming tillers of the soil. What states
man or 5ublicist is there who can make
adeQuat or satisfactory answer to the bitter
CRY OF us harassed and discouraged farmer

The system of medicine (if ANYTHING of
the kind can be dignifed as a system
which possesses no knowledge of anatomy,
physiology, pathology, chemistry, or the
properties and action of medicines, and
was full Of ignorance, superstitions and
absur dlties) was known as the Chinese
system. This was and is the old school
of medicine in Japan. When the country
was opened modern medical science was
introduced. medical college now ex-

Mr.. Pratt: Well, as you know,
Bishop & Co. took the largest lot of

to honor their own deposit receipt,
unless we took $40, 900 in certificates.
am sorry the Government did not
make them present their certificates
for redemption over the counter. I
rather doubt whether they would
have ventured to carry out their
threat of doing so there and then.
The first who presented certificates
for redemption on 1st December was
Mr.. A. S. Hartwell. He brought
about $500. The firms that have
the largest businesses as agents for
plantations have been the greatest
individual drawers of gold. with the
exception of w. G. Irwin & Co., who
have not drawn a cent in gold. If |
had known what was coming could
easily have kept a record but there
did not appear to be any occasion for
it. By the papers you see that c.
Brewer & Co. acknowledge to S25, 900
for their share. Hackfeld & Co. re-
quired $4,000 or 5000 week. Theo.
H. Davies, and Castle & Cooke, also
drew considerable amounts. So far
as know, Schaefer & Co., and Grin
baum & Co., have not drawn any.
How much Bishop & Co. may have
drawn by small sums at a time [
really cannot tell. Geo. w. Mac
farlane & Co. drew none. The China
men, however, have been the most
persistent in calling for gold, and /
fear they have sent lot of it away
because they could not get exchange
on HOngkOng at rate to tempt
them; and even if they could, many
of them prefer to send the coin.
Many people were against the pass
ing of the gold law on this very
ground, the habits of the Chinese in
this respect being so well known At
least 500 Cinnamon have sailed for
their own country since the gold law
came into operation, and you may
depend upon it that each took more
or less gold coin with him. One well
known stickler for illegal tender"
has made business of bringing GER
tificates for redemption and selling
the gold at premium. Twenty

met yesterday a politician at Albany,
well known in the legislative councils of the
State. He was meditating on the recent pc.
litical changes, and he thought aloud: ut

lived around the corner from us. The father
was Industrious and had managed to scrape
together enough TO buy the little house they
lived in. His towseled-haired boy, some nine
or ten years old, did chores around for odd
sixpences. The boys sister took in sewing.
One day went to get an advertisement
nut in the Albany 4aas, then run by Cassidy,
when l encountered my neighbours stout
youngster rolling barrel of dirt out upon
the sidewalk. Hello DAMP said, "what

told him to be good boy. He shortly was
taken as an apprentice. He learned to set

Ambitious to help all around, he began to
drop in local items after awhile, and sue

City Council. Twas surprised 10 find Dan
