FARMER MIDDLEMEN. The farmer il accused T holding up the price of farm stuff becsuss whea bt comes into town to tell aomething hs asks the same price that the oraer grocer iskt, and because he does that tbt complaint says the farmer becomes a middleman, tstcad of that salvation which he il, expected to be. There ia a right pertinent question, and prob- bly it will be docided in the farmer's favor, bc- cause bt ia tut man woo mimes me ar-mnn. When he producee his stuff ht is n producer, but when be brings it to town and distributes it to the ultimate buyer be ia exactly what he is accused of being, the middleman. Kow it cannot be a ques tion na to whether the farmer is right in being iddleman, and asking the middleman's profit, (of the farmer, f ht sells the stuff at retail, seems determined to get the retnil price and the only way to keep him from getting it ia to refuse to pay what be asks. But the' householder seems bo as willing to pay the-farmer who comes te tbo door with hit goods as to pay The grocer at the grocery. It ia not material vjlio is' the middleman. We seem to want the farmer1 to retail to the houses st the price he would wholerale at the, grocery, nod the farmer is not disposed te give his time that way. He Wants the middleman's pay if he doel the middleman's work, and evidently he geta it. He geta it because we all appear to prefer to have him act as the retailer and come to the house rather than to go to the grocery to get what wt want and pay the retailer there for serving. We can't get along without the middleman. The farmer makes the atuff. He may retail tome of It, but he prefers to turn it over ia bulk to the retailer and get back home, leaving the retailer to diatrtbute to the buyer. The retailer will not do thie without he ia paid, and ao way has yet beea suggested to dispose of him. Hi It aa essen tial factor in our organised industry.. The only real question about htm Is whether kt it paid toe much. He deea aot tnink so. When the former aett as middleman he doel not think ht it paid too much. All the years of human existence have not been enough yet to settle thli thing, and that leada to the conclusion thst n few more years will eetnt before it ia passed over. So wt may as Well pay tbt farmer and let him go his way happy, for that It What Wt will bars io do ia any event, for the goods are his until we do. TBS INVESTIGATIONS. Democrats ought aot to complain perhaps at the wholesale investigation! of the winning of the war that the party ia control of Congress is conduct' inc. For it Is a maxim never to disturb the euesny when be it making a mistake.
