Mr.. Editor, while | am writing, will
you allow me to say to'politicians and

farmers going into politics, as we are
not going to do that, but we are going
to let politics get into us this time if
politics means science Of government,
and if science means knowledge or a
collection of general principles. 1t is
a fact, sir, that the patriotism our
forefathers had has we'll nigh become
obsolete, and it was very clear to my
mind, after reading Mr.. Phillips adj
dress, that self-interest has destroyed
patriotism, and it is a most serious
fact that farmers have intrusted their
interest to politicians and wire-pullers
until they have very little interest left.

Where angels wait with sweetest strains
To greet the Saints above.
