Mr. Brown freely ask of it such in formatia>n as he lacks. 1 will cheerfully follow Mr. Tillman through this passage, pro vided no war is waged against men of other than agricultural pursuits. Leaving Mr. Tillman, I now turn breiliy to the letter of Dr. Timmer man. He says, “farmers as a rule are modest in their demands, conserva tive in their views, unsuspecting of others, and slow to action, but when they do arriveatconclusions are gener ally correct. It is not neccessary to address appeals to prejudice and pas sion to arouse them, bufto reason and and common sense; when thus mov ed they have the courage of theii coa viction and will dare maintain tneui, not as a political faction, but as in dependent citizens.” The Doctor de served special credit for this beauti ful picture of tlie farmer. I feel rather confident that he will not attempt to present the farmer in any other dress, liut in speauing of men ofotlier avo cations such as lawyers, merchants, hankers, railroad, telephone, and tele graph men lie says to-day they are making their tremendous combina tions throughout our country—-they who create not, but control.” i do no: see any good reason why men of like pursuits should not combine their wis dom and experience and devise tlie best possible plans for their success, but to assert that lawyers, merchants- bankers, railroad, tolephone and tele graph men ''create not but control" died at her sisters (Mrs. Flizahet h j is an assertion which may ao once be Hosiers,) near Milos’ mill, oq Sunday ! stamped asdoubly false.
