rnE sIoas AND the SHOP.

There is q class of people Ia this coun-
try Who, II they have faith In tbeir o~n
utterances, think that the store aud the
blacksmith shop are greater evils IN so-
ciety than liquor saloons. These people
In effect deny that the farmers meet With
reverses or mlsfortunes or suffer hon
hard time. or anything else that could
not be prevented by attention To busi-
ne.s. When confronted With arguments
on the subject they lump the eases all
together aud claim that the cause of
farmers tpubles u spending too much
time st the store aud blacksmith shop.
This winds up all Arguments In which
they are engaged. They do not say
