Farmer Is In Doubt

tA farmer of near Knightstown has a philosophy all his own for the political conditions that prevail now With the election of a democratic president threatened and a panic impending, he has begun to prepare for the worst. He has sold his farm near Knightstown, and has rented one in northern Rush county to await the results of the election and its effects on business. “I bought a good farm at $l5O an acre, and I have paid for it with ninecent hogs, nine-cent cattle and seven-ty-cent corn during the good republican times,” said the farmer. “I have sold my farm at a good price, and I am going to keep my money until I see whether the good republican times are to continue or the democratic panic is to ensue. I don’t care about paying $l5O per acre for a farm now and have to pay it out with thirty-cent corn, four-cent hogs and cattle. You can readily see why.”—Logansport Journal.
