vote against the party that ictch-
ed us this prosperity, which put
us at the mercy of the hired man.
All respectable people should
stand together now, we want
cheap and respectful labor and
the easiest way to get it is to vote
the democratic party into power.
You know its so, and YOU Nigh t
be honest once anyway and adj
init it. Yours truly,
A FARMER.
The above communication
from farmer was rather plea
SAINT surprise for us. We really
didn't know that times were so
good that something had to be
done to keep the wage Garner
down. OF course a farmer is
right in that he says that Clevc-
land times will fetch them to
time. Yes, we admit it. Yes,
give granny democracy the reins
once more and the soup houses,
tramps, strikes and general stag
nation would be here again. A
Farmer was merely in hard luck
in getting an especially hard
case as hired man. A Farmers
experience is the exception rather
than the rule. But does anybody
want a return to conditions as
they were under Cleveiand's adj
ministration? No, certainly not,
unless it were kid glove farmer.
The hired man gets high wages
simply because the farmer can
pay high wages and have a bal
ance left. If he couldn't he sure.
ly would not hire. The point is
however that if the hired mar
can earn his wages and a surplus
under the republican administra
ton, the farmer who himself is {
laborer earns in the same pro-
portion as the laborer. The in
come from the farmers own labo
can only be high when the hiret
