Mr.. Editor:
We are not much of a politician and
five are not one of the "poor. mort

one of those same "poor, mortgage
laden farmers" referred to by the Dem
ocrat- Courant. Well we just want to
say that the editor of said DC. must

were brought up to believe an editor
could be, or he never would have writ

maybe he is able to run a county pa.

the farmers of his county, but we
would like to drop q hint in his ear,
and don't know any way to come at
him except through the Farmers Col.
umn of our much priced REGISTER.
We happen to know half q hundred or
more farmers whom the editor of the
DC. would hardly want to step up to
on our public thoroughfares and call
them to their faces "poor mortgage
laden farmers" I hardly think he
would be guilty of using such language
a second time. He might just as well
tell them they were mallet-headed,
club.footed, or sledge-fisted. He would
very soon find that they would resent
one insult just as readily as the other.
Did it ever occur to said editor that
pro rata there are fewer farmers in our
county to-day. carrying mortgages
they are unable to lift, than in any
other calling?
Take the editors of country papers,
for instance, and if we judge from the
number that 60 to the wall every year

long to the -"poor mortgage laden"
class? We'll, misery loves company, you
