THREE CHEERS FOR THE FARMERS.

An exchange says: American
farmers in the West and i'm the South
have accumulated 50 much that they
are able 10 hold their wheat and cotton
AT the prices which they demand. Our
farmers have enough money 10 make
il possible for them 10 say: Take our
wheat aud our cotton at our prices or
leave il alone. You will nave To- take
il sooner or later Ii is gratifying to
realize that the American farmer l. at
last able 10 put on naughty aud I'M
yielding front"
The HERALD has often declared that
of all men the farmers could be most
independent What combine they
could form What an irresistible trust.
With food and shelter and wood and
water always at hand why should they
come to market with their produce
and not make the market come to
them?
The country must come to town or
the town would perish, the country
could live aud not come TO town. Mr.
BRYAN said that better than all Others
of Us have been able to. OF course the
two, city and country, should dwell
together in unity, aud there should be
no oppressive combine on the part of
either.

A number OF our contemporaries have
taken occasion to remind us that most
of the work of the Convention was
done in committee rooms a. reply to-
our criticism Of daily scr' ices Of not
more than three hours. We were
quite aware Of that fact and yet If only
three hours Of each day are to bc
devoted to the discus ion Of committee,
reports, and members are allowed To
talk without limit, the body can hardly
hope to adjourn for many years to
come. That may be fun for members,
but it is hard on tax payers.

of disappointment to the elected, be-
fore whose visions oysters and cock

the Convention should not keep them
long in waiting. The preliminary
work must have been done 10y now,

fidence in the Convention, but must
confess to little impotence. "Only
