LOWS.
October of the soul
Once more asserts control,
With gentle sway;
Around the board we meet,
With happiness replete,
And hearts and voices greet
Our festal day.
A grateful Harvest Home
Here with our sheaves we come,
Our faith to prove
To lay upon our shrine
The fruit of life's true vine,
And baptize in its wine
Fraternal love.
The days of Long Ago
Still manifest their glow,
Serene and clear
We catch its radience blest,
We feel its old time zest,
We hail with warmest breast
Its presence here.
Though time It's tokens spread
Upon the Veterans head,
That glow to lume
Will gladden. by its ray,
AS life shall ebb Gway-
Give glory to decay,
Dispelling gloom.
And in its cheerful light
We consecrate the night
To joys full flow
The future brighter shown
By its reflection thrown,
Caught from the altar stone
OF Long Ago.

Flceced Farmers.

One truth seems to have gained
ground rapidly since the last ellee=
ton, and that is. that the farming
interest is suffering more than any
other from the unjust taxation
that the Republican party is seek
ing to perpetuate. It is taxation
and taxation alone that is depre-
ciating the value of farms all over
the country and lcssening the re-
ward of agricultural labor from
year TO year. 1t seems to have be-
come in very truth the farmers
unfortunate lot to work and pay
while combinations and trusts,
maintained by excessive tax law,
rob him of his profits and doom
him to. poverty. For instance
they profess to protect the wool
his focks produce, but tax him
ten or twenty fold more for the
woolens needed by his family.
While every other industry re-
ceives protection from the gov
eminent, farming alone gets moth
ing but what in the end proves to
he only 4 pretence and q mockery
Under such a condition of things
theunprotected must necessarily
suffer. That farmers all over the
country are realizing this, is indi-
Gated by the growth Of the gran.
ges and alliances. The complaint
| IS not confined to one locality o.
one section, but comes from all
quarters, which shows that some
thing is radically wrong. The
farmers are oppressed; they are
learning why it is, and woe to the
party or men who persist in deny
ling them relief.-Point Pleasan
