The South Learning a Fact.

“The farmers have found out that the tariff is not the cause of disaster,” says President Polk, of the Southern Alliance. In that he speaks for the farmer of his own seetion, the bulk of Northern farmers having known it these many years. And they are wise enough also to have discovered that the nostrums offered by the Polk school of political doctors will not cure any of the ills of which they complain. In matter-of-fact the farmers of the North are doing some of their own thinking nowadays, and they are just now too busy harvesting their big crops to pay very much attention to the croaking of the calamityites.— Inter Ocean.
