Nope ! There is one thing that

Tribute to tlie Farmer.
We clip the following tribute to
the farmer from the Union Signal:
Farmers, attention!
Who is generally conceded to
be the backbone of the country?
The Farmer.
Who feeds the butcher, the
baker, the candlestick maker, the
banker, the miner, the soldier?
The Farmer. - -
Who is taxed to support the
schools, to build roads, to main
tain asylums, almshouses and
prisons?
The Farmer.
Who wants the nation dry, in
order that the prisons, alms
houses and asylums may become
fewer while roads and schools
grow propoi tionately better?
The Farmer.
To whom are the patriotic citi
zens looking to stand as a good
phalanx against the combined
liquor interests and give us a
nation free from saloon domina
tion.
The Farmer—God bless him,
he is the salt of the earth!
