.FOENE DISCUSSION.

the issues Of the campaign last F..
day between j. J. Martin, Republic
an elcctor for this district and Jnc
+. Woodland, Democratic elector fCI
this district.
Martin spoke at some length, mah
ing rather a random, speech we learn
He said the high tariff is the caus,
of the prosperity of the country
From what we learn there was very
little point to his speech. Mr.
Woodland followed in pointed repl!
and safely and securely met ever,
argument that Mr.. Martin put forth
1t was the same old Republican mis-,
fortune. Some thought if Mr.. Martin
had had a respectable subject to re-
present he would have made a better
showing. Mr.. Woodland we learn.
is a logical, pointed speaker, sees
any and all gaps bis opponent lets
down. and is heartily devoted to the
cause he represents.

z.ET Us REASON TOGETHER
A Talk with the Farm ers.

1t is a mark of weakness intellectu-
ally and every other way, to Jump
1T conclusion rather than reason
20 it. There are certain kinds of
business in which a man must nec~
essarily decide on important matters
without time for much reflection.
But whatever decision is reached
may he commended OF criticised ac-
cOrding to the available time for
reflection AMI investigation before
the decision is made. The farmer
apparently has more time for cool
calculating reflection than perhaps
any other class of men. The mer
chant, for instance. who does part
OF his own work behind the counter
and at the desk. is too much rushed
to take general survey of his busi>
ness oftener than once year. Once
a year be takes an inventory of his
goods and measures up his business
generally. The remainder of the
time he must needs be driving trades
with his Cu7tOmers. With the farm
er it is different. His stock in trade
Is largely his time and the growing
crop on his farm.
And every day he sees each single
arti lie of his stock, namely; his
growing crop, his pastures, his
cattle, his hogs, his horses, the con-
dition of his barns AMI cribs and
smoke houses, &c.
Now the merchant or professional
man may not have the opportunity
oftener than once year; but the
farmer may make survey of his
entire business every day.
This leads us to speak of the
farmers oppression He feels ops
pressed. He is oppressed. Why is
he oppressed? Because he has too
little independence. He buys too
much.
Now, let every farmer look at his
barns and larders. If they are
scantily filed with supplies or total
| ly filed with emptiness, why not
investigate the cause as well as the
consequence? The consequence needs
no Investigation. 1t shows itself
The cause needs little more. 1t is
simply because the corn, wheat.
oats, grass, meat and home supplies
generally are not raised at home
The bagging trust is great oppres
sion just now. 1t is undoubtedly
| hard to bear. But let farmers wake

ers do not worh-of all men they
work the most. But how IS the
work directed? l. 1T dir cted in the
w,sest manner possible? The same
oil lines may be written over
thousand times: "Hone supplies
and home economy are the only
means of Sputlern rrc7rcT'E'
If the Farmers Alliance can bring
about a revolution in this matter,
there will be less trouble about t-ast-
and monopolies. There will be one
more prosperity and happiness in
the South then, and not till then.

Again on last Saturday the sti, .
ness Of the autumn air was disturbed

~ away to find in The selfsame
place crowd Of sable orstols eluh-
ing forth to their comrades the
sEeetly solacipg sentiments of the
rOwerIng superiority of the coiored
man ove4 the white man.
We did not know the first speaker,
and his speaking did lot arouse our
curiosity enough TO ask his name.
If any one told us we forgot it. We
:aught one sentence just as he was
closing, which convinced US he was
afraid Of newspapers. H said that
the newspapers next week will be
illed Of lies about his speech We
supposed be had heard Of such th' g
as newspapers but as TO whether he
has ever read one or not, we caa
not say. He was a medicine or soap
vender, ana was evidently shouting
to get a crowd. for when he flashed
ne paid attention to his soap bust
less and not to the other speakers.
Then the oracularly loud COlumb-
rs Baker ''nOrAted'' at length. He
called Democrats towards and ma'ie
statements wonderful to hear He
Quoted freely from the "SCJThtND

uttered was quoted from TIE DEM
oCRAT or conclusions drawn from
what he had read in THE DEMOCRAT
We were puzzled to know how Col
umbus knew so much from The
| DEMOCRAT, knowing all the time

paper.
But when we learned that there is
balance on the tax list against him
for 1887, it troubled US no longer

around thought he was making s

man. That he goes to the white

other such truths. They did not
like it, and they left him. We
