The light that is being turned on public
questions for the benefit of the people, is
producing great change in the feeling of
our agriculturiSts, and our country will be
all the better tor the recent agitations that
have brought it about. All classes are
reading and st',lying the great problem of
political economy rs they never read and
studied before. The result is very apparent.
There are many ahle minds among TIC far

day are weighed and studied by them, they
will sec and understand just what the coun-
Try needs, and their verdict in the end will

tremiSts may blind them and lead them for
time, but ere long they will see things in
their proper light and act accordingly. A
one time ardent advocate of the fiat
money scheme remarked to the writer last
week that he believed "there is enough
money i'll the country. If more money is
put in circulation, there are a certain class
of men who would soon gather in the bulk
OF it and control lit, and by buying NOR,
