THERE are persons who say that the grievances of the farmers are more imaginary than real-that they are al- ways complaining regardless of crops or prices. But it is not to be denied that the agricultural classes are subjec- ted. to gfievous burdens. Prices for nearly all agricultural products, as we'll as for most kinds of live stock, for the past few years have been very low. This has been true of cotton. wheat, 1.-the three great staple agricultur- al products of the country-and it has been equally true of cattle, hogs and sheep. Money that has been made on the sale of these leading products of the farm has not been made by the pro ducer--if at all. Whether the cause of the low prices is due to oover-production, to general financial stringency, or to bad political conditions, it is inmate rial to inquire. The fact remains that the farmers of the country, the men upon whom the prosperity of the coun- try rests, have been doing business at q loss. As Cleveland said: Ut is a con- dition and not a theory that confronts us':; it behooves us first of all to re- cognize this condition.--Little Rock Democrat.
