SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.
AN OCEAN OF MENDACITY.
To tho Editor OF The Tribune
Cir On maze L. Of The Tribune OF January Z

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
sir: on page IL OF The Tribune OF January Z, under
the heading :" Money in Circulation" you say Pre-
sumably this farmer is honest but what ocean OF
mendacity must be flowing all round him If he knows
no better!7 That limns the exactly. 1t is IAN
ocean of mendacity.' And such lies as they are! IL
seems TO be useless to them. Men are hired to
tell them on the stump, and 10 print them In news
papers and handbllls and posters. Farners with
certificates OF deposit in local banks and mortgages on
other farmers lands in their clothes listen to hired
demagogues pirate about hard times and the inevitable
sign Farmers read The Alliance Standard" "Thc
National Economist mot "The Americana The
Philosophy of Price, and "The Seven Financial Con-
spiraces' and believe everything they read In them.
The last "The seven Financial Conspiraces,' Is the
Bible OF a great many seemingly intelligent people,
and TO doubt any statement contained in that primer
is to be damned rs either a fool a knavc in their
estimation find that book primer in the Farmers
Club the Alliance the Patrons of Industry the Knights
Of Labor and the Grange, always quoted, referred 10
and cited as an authority.
Reduced to the last analysis, the present demands
OF the farmers in this country may be stated thus We
demand that Congress shall legislate that when
farmer is party to contract the conditions affecting
the farmer shall remain unchanged until the contract
fully completed and executed demand tlat, wien
the conditions aforesaid do not remain un.
changed Aforesaid, then the farmer shall by act OF
Congress be released from the obligations OF ms con
tract. of course do not say that all farmers are
thus minded (or mindless), for am farmer; but II
is safe 10 that the majority OF them are and at
