The Advance Journal: 1t has been
a long while since there has been
such a cry of "hard times in this
country. 1t is a case of swap
around, case of barter on all hands.
Money has ceased to fill its functions
as a circulating medium for the reason
that there is none to circulate. Where
has it all gone is the perpleXing ques-
ton and question that nearly every
one you meet has different answer
to. The farmers of the country are
not the only ones who feel the pres
sure but 1t reaches into all the walks
OF life and men who were never known
to be short before are unable to
meet the demands upon them. But
of all classes no doubt the small mer-
chants throughout the country are in
this greatest strait and the outlook is
most gloomy for many of them The
farmer is not the only one who should
be urging a change in the financial
policy of our government

The Alabama Mirror: There seems
to be a general desire to abandon
farming and to engage in other pur-
suits. A great many have been
forced by necessity to make the
change and to seek employment Of
some kind at stipulated wages What
the result will be to them and to their
families is yet uncertain, There are
many however who should hold firm,
and reduce their operations as nearly
as possible to cash basis, dispensing
with all hired help, and cultivating
only few acres the first year. to i'm
prove and increase as their means
will justify. Almost any family can
make a good living on ten acres oil
ground by planting a succession Of
crops 1t will never do to abandon
the farm for the town or village al
such time as the present The
true plan is to take in the sails and
make everything at home. The
present storm will soon be over, and
those who remain upon the farms and
redouble their efforts will have no
cause to regret their decision,

What Is the needP The classes are
opposed to the masses; capital is in
control; the few are governing the
many! Every reading and thinking
man ought to know that the leglsla-
ton of this country for the past twen-
ty-fve years has been almost entirely
in favor OF certain favored classes,
and against the masses. The farmer
the merchant and the artisan classes
have been powerless to stay the flood
OF legislative enactments which in ef-
feet has been to bind them as in an
iron yoke. How are the people to
take possession of their own? How
are they to regain their rights? In
the first place, they must learn to un.
derstand the condition of the country
and its needs. They must have opin.
ions of their own and be able to de-
fend them. They must know what
they want, and they should also
know how to get it. Every voter
should know the industrial condition
OF his own country and of the leading
nations Of the world. He should
study the relations of the people to
each other, both home and abroad.
He should study the relations of capt.
tai to labor; the effects of reducing
the volume of money, and the effects
OF dear and cheap money upon the
producer, the merchant and laboriug
man. He should study legislation in
all its branches until he knows what
laws will be beneficial to the people
and what will be injurious to their
interests. These are all questions of
great moment and should be studied
carefully by every body who is inter.
ested in free government.

Money was never issued" except by
authority Of some government and it
would be non-sensible TO empower a
government to coin money, without
giving the power to issue. Money is
issued from the minis when coined II
is issued from the government when
put into circulation. No purpose
would be served by coming money or
issuing it from the minis without it
