Referring to the late Samuel J.
Randall, the Times-Democrat says:
"He was distinguished in that
stainless integrity which kept him
q poor man when others with his
opportunities would long ago have
been millionaires, but the crown
ing glory of his career was I'M
doubtedly his defeat of the recon-
struction infamy. And on the

rate demanded of the latter. Free
competition should reduce this
share of the middle men to a min
imum, but for the inducement an
opportunity to combine formally
or informally to control prices Of
products and cost of vending.
Thus the share demanded often
amounts to a confscation of the
growers profit, and the number of
statesmen is so increased that they
complain that they cannot make a
living. The trouble is, there are
too many of these on-producers
who absorb the product of the
farmer in the distribution to the
consumer. Perhaps the only rem
edy may be combination of the
farmers to retail their own fruits
and vegetables IN cities, sell their
own meats and manufacture their
own -four. Something must be
done to reduce the numbers and
modify the greed of long line of
leeches that are fattening on the
industry of the country, who
neither toll on the farms nor spin
in the factories, and yet they are
absorbing the wealth of the coun-
try by combination without con-
science and service without equity,
while the producers are relocated
to the rear and left to enjoy their
pittancN as best they may.

Element, and the increase of agri-
cultural implements, are grown to
excess, while other products with
which our farmers are not famil-

duction of these old staples, and
still further lowering prices inten-
styling dissatisfaction with the re-
suits of agricultural effort
1t is futile to attempt to defy
the law of supply aud demand. So
long as farmers insist on growing
only the bread grains, cotton, to-
bacco and cattle, and to neglect
other products which are needed,
which we import at a cost of more
than s2OO,OOO,OOO annually, just so
long will the lamentation over low
prices continue. Diversifcation
is essential to agricultural saliva
ton. There are writers and speak
ers who are doing incalcuble inju-
ry by their influence in repression
of any tendency to wider range
of rural production, encouraging
incidence and idleness, paralyzing
enterprise, intensifying rural in
ertia and encouraging depend
enee on foreign production, and
the drainage of the resource of the
country to foreign lands. They
appear to deprecate any effort to-
wards independence or the cultiva-
ton of self-reliance, the stimula-
ton Of invention, the acquisition

We handle 20 cheap, unacclimate6

Some persons are ignorant or

penalty is imposed for mailing
postal cards containing matter of a
libelous or threatening character.

for sending a postal card to a Gus

times for same. If not paid at
once we shall place same with our

the case came to trial the court
held that an offense against the
