When could you ride on a railroad trair. so far on the price of a bushel ol wheat as now? When was it that you could buy a sack of sugar with ten bushel of oats until now? When was it that you could buy a two dollar hat with three dozen eggs and four pounds of butter until the winter of 1911? In fact, when was the time when the farmer was doing equally as well as right now? There is not a farmer who will read this article but who knows that not so long ago he would haul to town from 250 to ".500 bushels of corn to pay for a farm wagon, and now 100 bushels pays for the same wagon; the horse you brought to town and sold would then buy you two suits of clothes; the same horse today would sell for enough to buy six suits of the same kind. You also know that you formerly exchanged twelve dozen eggs and ten pounds of butter for tha hat that now is procured with the proceeds of three dozen eggs and four pounds of butter; and again you will remember that only a few years ago you could ride only fifteen miles on the price of a bushel of wheat, when on a railroad train, and now you ride GO miles or more on the price of the same bushel of wheat.

In all the changes to which you may be invited, remember that time and habit are at least as necessary to fix the true character ot governments as of other human institutions; that experience is the surest standard by which to test the real tendency of the existing constitution of a country; that facility in changes, upon the credit of mere hypothesis and opinion, exposes to perpetual change, from the endless variety of hypothesis and opinion; and remember especially, that for the efficient management of your common interests, in a country other of the road, and we usually construe it to mean to "Stop and Look, and Listen."
