Hard Times.

Mr. EDIToR.- seems that this "hard
times is the burden Of conversation every
where.
Now conclude that "where there is 90
much smoke there must be some fre;" that
times are hard, and that we are really pass
ing through the flint mill. / have been
taught that there caunot be On effect with
out cause, so there must be cause for the
outcry:
The reasons why times are hard is fully
explained in q conversation which occurred
between two formers ono was an old man,
good farmer, who took sensible view Of
things; the other lived op q farm and seem-
cd to be rather extreme man. He was
pouring out the vials of his wrath on the
representative in Congress from his district,
on Congress rs body and the Legislature Of
his State, using hard names and accusing
them Of stealing the public money, end eaid
n change must be made before times would
be better" The fellow really seemed hurt,
and am sure that hard times was . sensi-
tive subject With MIN. This party led in
conversation uutil he was sure that his boiler
and tho cap Of his head vac cut Of danger,
then the old farmer began, by saying:
"How is your cotton crop this year?"
Ans. IL did not plant any cotton it has
been 80 low for the last few years, that il
won't pay to pick it OUT
How much wheat have you to sell? AS
you planted no cotton, you must have pl eniy
of wheat.
"No," said he, "what sowed was good,
but only sowed a few acres. Wheat has besn
30 uncertain that was afraid to risk much. !"
"Then you must have great deal of corn?"
"No, did not plant much of crop, and
am afraid will have to buy little to put
me ihroughr'
"Well," said the old farmer, "have you
any fat hogs to soil this season.

"Have you any beef cattle -
"No; the distemper has been 81 bad va
s'raid to try beef cattle"
"Well,' said the old man, "you have
nothing to sell, and it doesn't matter wbethe
the deposits are are removed from tho Unit
cd States Bank or not, or who is President
or who goes to Congress; it will always be
hard times with you until you raise your
own supplies and have something to sell. ~
Now conclude that great many Of on,
people have nothing to sell and that is on,
reason why times are so hard, particularly
with all such. d. b. D.

howl, and enemies scheme for our destruc-

60 on from victory to victory, till "equsl
rights to all and specisl privileges to none,"
will characterize every law of the land.
The Enterprise (Ala) says: The Alliance,
like Collins gentleman sheep, has q head Of
its own, and it proposes to raise that head
shaping its course, and its enemies miuAt
as well throw down the last fall into line
and move on TO glory with the crowd.
The Alliance Union (Kan.) says: Both
parties are realizing that the Alliance has
accomplished what the sword, the press and
the pulpit failed to do. The Mason and
Dixon liue on which the bloody shirt has
been hung every four years, has at last been
obliterated, and the cotton planters Of the
South and the farmers Of the North and
West have bid old parties goodbye and
united for their mutual interests.
The bloody shirt gang now seek to cr.nto
dissension and strife within tho organiza-
tion by defaming the character and reputa-
ton of the Alliance leaders.

It Is reported that when they first arrived

Ameri~1Tight Of thinking for themselves
and endorsing ,uch men and measures as
their kiigense and honest convictions
may dsshf f6ettef lifted for public positions
and more conducive to the public good.
wespcak feelingly uron this subject, for
probably no maa in the County has been
more unressonsbly berated for entertaining
aud expressing his honest convictions than
ourself. But it is truly gratifying to us to
know that largo majority ofthe most intel
ligent men in the county, if they do not full
ly agree with us in our opposition to certain
men and certain measures, give US the bene-
fit ofa serious doubt rs to the good expected
from either, aud accord to us an honesty Of
purpose that would not permit Of doubt
that We were actuated by any other motive
than an earnest desire for the public good.
We, however, unequivocally state that we
have nothing to recall--no apology to make.
We abused no one, aud would pursue the
same course again under the same circum-
stances. We have never made any opposi'
