FALSE REPRESENTATIONS.
Republican Journals Dlstort Facts to In
lure the Administration
That the distinctively republican pa
pers should endeavor to mislead The
farmers is bad enough; but it is 10 tx
expected because it is their regular
practice TO miSlead voters Of every
class, That agricultural newspapers,
published ostensibly fov the enlighten'
ment of the farmers, should either in
tentionally or ignoraatly miSlead them

1t is certainly iuexcuSable if they do ii

that. II is equally 50 il they do II
through ignorance, for 1t Is their
hounden duty 10 inform themselves Is

sumo to teach the agricultural coAasU-
nifty.

ertitle in the Michigan Farmer. tuWh'eh
