t 2 Objects orihc Farmers' Mou'mcnt. KIItnr WiCamiUc I'annrr: I find, in my Intercourse with my follow fiirmcrH, as avcII ns in tlio re port of tlio Highland Farmers' Club published in the Faiimkk of tlio 1st of March, that thoro Is u great want or liiek of lnforinatlon in regard to the objects and alms of the present fanners' movement, us well as the necessity that exists for such organ ization. And, us wo liny be some what to blmno for thlsros well us oth ers who aro leading in the move ment, we will, by your pcrinIsion, discuss thu question some further. There is a certain combination among the wheat-buyers of this coast which is working for the accu mulation of an immense fortune at the furinerV expense. And after having o -Imped their -ehonio as to shut out all possible competition, they have forced down tlio price o low that the majority of farmer can not pay the running e.pcno of their farms with the proceeds of the sales of their surplus. While some farm ers are especially fuvoicd with a vir gin 'oil of superlative richness and a household of Industrious sons, and is able to (up the market at Its best, and can do something more than pay running expenses, the majority of farmers less favored cannot do -o. 1'hls state of things leads rapi.lly to discounigemeuts. 1 1 1 1 1 Improvements hail in contemplation a year ago aro now given up, and the business of the country bus become more or less paralyzed, -o (hat it is doubtful if the country 1 trovers from tho r-hock It has now received In the next ten year".
