BEGINNING TO RUE.

1t seems that the farmers of this
valley who so light heartedly entered
into the war against the smelters are
just beginning to realize that there
arc two sides TO the question, even
from the standpoint Of their own inter
ests, 1t was all fine enough 10 make
war upon the smoke aud fumes; and
to call for their abatement. But Il this
abatement means the moving of the
smelters over 10 Garfield, and the de
struction Of the immediate market right
at hand for the farmers products, that
is different matter The smelters
made not only great and steady mar
ket for those products, but one that
was liberal and prompt IN paying, and
that payment was always cash-no
scrip, no tithing orders, put good Amer
lean coin.
AT a meeting of the farmers, held on
Wednesday, they were told by their at
torneys that while they had won, the
case would undoubtedly be appealed.
and il would cost more money to keep
up the fight Naturally, this prospect
was more cheerful for the lawyers than
for the farmers; but there could be no
drawing back now, and the farmers all
voted 10 push on. But there was
dread manifest lest the smelters should
have to close, the old bumptiousness
was all gone there Was none Of the
old cry. ''the smelters must go,' on
which the war was opened.
