To control the election of congressman

now Cypress the labor of the
country. and where laws must br en-

forced to buy. Agriculture is the

protected all other interests which
are only incidental to or created by
this interest, are bound to suffer. An
individual OF combination of individ
uals may. under the projection OF laws
granting them special powers and
exclusive privileges, flourish, pros
per and grow rich. They may heap
colossal fortunes in Il day, but il is
many, and the suffering restitution
produced by such concentration of
wealth is sure to find place to settle
and it always comes back to the pro-
duccrs. As long as the world stands
some men will prosper while others
fail. This can not he avoided, be-
cause some are naturally thriftlCSS
and improyidcnt, but we need no laws
to discourage the less shrcWd aud
shifty aud to protect those who are
less scrupulous. The weak must be
protected against the entertainments
of the strong, and the stronger must
have limit set to the exercise of their
power. An equilibrium of rights and
powers must be established by laws,
and law makers must he chosen who
sympathize with the weak. Power

clearly show, and while the farmers
