Tiw farmers are emphatically the "bom atiJ iinew of the land," ami il is by their industry ami labor that the Slate flourishes w hen their toils are rewarded with abundAtit crop?, and the products of then libot meet with a ready and good market, all goes on well. Tins is the ease in all agricultural communities. Heretofore foreign buyers have contributed very essentially to the creating of a g od home market, by purchasing very largely at th" very doors of the farmers, exchange, bein easy and money plenty hut how will il be now in the present deranged stale ol the currency. In the first place purchasers cannot make exchanges consequently cannot procure the necessary funds to carry on trade and in the next individuals w ho have the means, can make investments more profitable than in the produce business. The farmers will thus be left without a home market, and forced to sell at such price ns may be pti'ered. or ship to the South, where even now srarce!v a sale can be effected of any tiling the article of corn alone excepted. Hut there are other reasons why produce ol all descriptions must go down. The! States of Indian i and Illinois v early have' a large surplus of provisions, no inoon-ui-erable p:ft of which is bought by South-j era planters, being rct?.tled out to them hv upper country shipper.
