This disposes of the Misrepresentation
that the prices quoted for the foreign
differ in kind on the slightest from those
quoted for the American. The foreigner
and the farmer buy on the same footing
precisely. They buy In the same market
and from the same people, and IN the
same amount as the foreigner. BUT
HONEST CONFESSION.

FALsEHooD AND FonaERY.
To deceive and delude the Republican
farmers the American Economist icial
organ of the 1850 protected mill-own-
ers--took q copy OF the weekly edition of
and Mining journal, which
does not contain the export prices-the
latter being published only in its monthly
edition-an described it as follows.
The Neil and Export journal and the Aus-
tyGtdsidn circulate almost exclusively among
large purchasers, and the Eaoincerias0 and MIN
inc Journal contains little, as its name indi-
Gates, that would interest farmers. a true index
of the class to which the readers Of any paper
belong Is its advertising list. and that Of the
Engineering and Mi71t,sg Journal shows that its
agricultural readers are few indeed. The issue
OF Aug. 80, for example, has nearly four hun
dred advertisers of at least one hundred different
classes OF goods or services. and not one of them
offers agricultural implements. This paper
knows that is quite safe In asserting that 'any
foreign subscriber y can buy at the low rates adj
Yertised. for 1t knows how few Of them are
farmers.
How bald this deliberate piece Of lying
is can be seen from the fact that In the
weekly number Of Aug. 80, destined for
American circulation only, there are no

ments, while In the monthly number for
Sept. 8, being the export edition for Sep
