Oh Shoot Common Sonse.

Why does not Common .Sense come out square and say that they dare net meet Mr. Ingersol in joint discussions on rbe political issues of the day, instead of picking out a sentence hem.: and there, to make his letter look ; •; meaningless as possible. It won’t d r M . Common Sense. -Put'.up or .-hi t up Good Sense. ‘•■yi, O’Meara has returned from his trip to Kahsas. G rand inn Tiiarp has returned’ iron. Ibdmrmpois.

It is, well worth tb ■ v ■ in of our best thinkers t v inquire why things are thus w;ih 'he man of tire fields, and why it is ills importance ie no more esteemed. There is some-

thing wrong in the constitution of .our society. Where is it, and wha i i'? Is it in our legislation? In pari it surely is: though, after all with us legislation but follows public opinion. Public opinion must, therefore, lie corrected. To the farmers of Amer-. itui therefore, I say you can shape this opinion and mold this legislat on You are in a vast majority. Agriculturists must emancipate themselves bv education, by organization, by | combination. The manufacturers proI mote cheir interests by close and es-

fect-ive association, the banks com bine offens’vely arm defensively’, the railroads p c! egaias their customers and smother europetition, and the merchants keep the best talent of their profession, in organized boards, constantly on the outlook for th” interests of trade. Jr. truth, the tendency of tne age is to t’;e concentration of wealth, power : ud business control In the hands of a few and to systematize all departments of affair- under
