Bond Farming.

That is the kind of farming that pays! The crop comes twice *a year, and comes without an effort. No labor, no toil, no anxiety, and no taxes. And the weather does not affect it. Rain or shine, the crop comes right along, and it comes in money, too. No loading np and hauling to mar-

ket, no higgling over price, no trading and dicker, but the clean, bright gold. While the ordinary farmer is working and wearing himself out, using up his teams, and plows, and wagons, the bond farmer sits in his easy chair and waits for his crop which is sure to come every six months. While the common farmer is paying out his last dollar for taxes this bond farmer looks coolly on, and jingles the money in his pocket. F > has nothing to do with tax-paying. The kind of farming that brings two crops a year in gold, and pays no taxes, is the kind of farming that pays. Farming that only uses a pair of scissors in cutting coupons is the kind of farming to work at. Farming without land, or teams, or labor, and harvesting without work or bams, and living without paying taxes is the kind of farming that would suit you much better than the toil, and sweat, and drought, and frosts and storms that you now have to oontend with. You cannot sell your furm for half it cost you, but the bond farmer can sell out at any time for two or three times ia gold what he originally paid. Farmers, tillers of the soil, you feed all the world except yourselves, how do you like it? The liard-money men erected the bond farmer and they are trying to extend his lease forever. * The Greenback party propose to stop his lease, pay him in money, and thus make him use it and pay his own taxes. Farmers, join thiß Greenback party and have a little legislation for your selves. —Portland (Me.) New Era.
