' Farming and Finance.
A VIEW FROM THE CITY, OUTWARD.
Mn. Enironz In the present financial
crisis, (as almost every newspaper article
begins with these words, I make no claim
to originality in their use,) it behooves
each person to inquire what he has done
to help on this state of affairs, and what
he can do to bring about a better era ;
and as Connecticut farmers may have an
idea that they are not in the least to
blame, and that they have not aided in
this revulsion. I propose to endeavor to
show that they are in fault, and that they
have adopted a policy which has been the
means of making the effect of this pressure
much more disastrous in this State than
it otherwise would have been.
I shall base iuy rciiiarks upon two chur-
ges, the first of which I know to be true,
and the second of which I believe to
be. ,
1st. They have invested too much
money in Bank Stocks, both at home and
abroad, and in Railroad Stocks and Bonds,
when that money should have been used in
i iiiproviiig their farms. _
2d. They have not made farming -a
business to he followed thoroughly, sys-
teinatically and energetically.
There are in Hartford ten Banks, with
an aggregate capital of$6,833,'l20.00.-—
I-Iartf'oi'd is noted for its large ba.nkiug
capital, a.iid yet I venture to say that not
one half is owned by citizens of Hartford.
The greater part is owned by farmers in
the couiitry. “Then the two new Banks
recently opened their subscription books,
it was noticed that a very large propor-
tion of the siihscibers were farniers. The
desire for such investments has amounted
almost_ to a mania among our agricultu-
rists, during the last few years, and in my
opinion this is all wrong. If the same
money which the farmers have put into
stocks and bonds, had been used in im-
proving their farms, building new and com-
fortable dwellings, improving their various
breeds of animals, and adding generally
to the productiveness of their estates, the
coiumunity would have been much bet-
ter off in every re:-pcct the present mo-
ment. There would have been fewer
Banks to have inflated the currency and
expanded credits, and there would have
been more capitai among the people, which
would not have been affected by panic,
and which would have been beyond the
reach of Wall street influence. That man
is iuost secure from panic, and that man
best invests his money, who invests it
irliere he has control over it himself, and
not ‘where others manage it for him. The
best investment for the merchant is in his
vwn legitiiii-ate business ; for the manufac-
turer, in his mill ; for the sea captain in
-.:~oinui_erce; aiid the best place for the
iruiers’ money is in improving his own
«road acres, instead of running to the
ity with it to be used in the purchase of
tank Stock, controlled by Directors, he
"'llOWS not who, and engaged in a business,
e knows not what. There is no estima-
i.iug.the wealth which would be produced
if the. money invested by farmers in Con-
necticut in Bank Stocks were to be used
judiciously in agriculture. Ten per cent.
would not be a circumstance. But what
shall_ I say of Railroad Bonds. The word
almost makes uie sick, and I think the
nausea will pe shiircd by many of my
readers, as they see the title, “ Railroad
Bonds !” Those be-.i.iitifiilly engraved,
plausible, lying deceptive deliisive, and
many of them and decomposed dacuments
are scattered broadcast over this State.
'.l‘hc,i1ioney to pay for them sucked and
drained out of our land. The life blood
drawn out of our enterprise to build roads
wliicli hurry on our markets produce
whien our own farinei's should furnish us.
\Vcstern produce at high prices is driving
out our own, which might be furnished
at fair rates by our own farmers, who by
buying the bonds of West-erii Roads, are
not only cutting their own tlirorts, but
iuauy of'tlieiii are losing trieir money after
all. Railroads are well eiiouge, but let
each section of a coiiiitrv build its own.
A country will build its “own roads as fast
.as they are needed. It is a bad policy
for New England to build Railroads in
Iyiscoiisiii. _As with stocks so with bonds.
The money in Coiinecticutinvested in this
'i1‘:1Sll, would if used in agriculture make
this State one of the most productive in
“l‘" T.T'*'“'.*=, and consequently one of the
~-!’.»_.. 1. -..«.ie of the least liable to be
-. '? by 9 panic in the money market.
. . ‘-'-i;‘.b more sensible it is for a farm-
cr to invest his money on his estate, and
have good buildings, fences, fields, and
live stock, than to live in adissipated old.

or fence them in with a few sticks and
stoiies Stl1..'l( every which way, (which the
“ critters” are too poor and weak tojump

into town once a year to buy a ten per

Railrhad Bond, which he saw advertised
in a borrowed" newspaper, Your money
on your farm you are sure of, but once
put it in a Western Railroad and you may
whistle for it.
Now a few words about systematic
farming. I am a city resident, and when
I say to fariners you are foolish for put-
ting your money into stocks and Rail-
road Bonds, instead of improving your
farms with it, I know what I am talking
about; but in what I am about to say
_pei-haps I am not so well informed, and I
will therefore prefoce my remarks by say-
iiig that the following is true so far as
me observation extends, and that the
¢:()llL‘lllSlOl1 to which I have arrived, seems
to me a just and right one.
I believe that there is ’L'C)"l/ little thor-
ough, systematic business like farming in
this State. I believe that very few farm-
ers in_ this State make farining a business
to be follewed closely, and with an eye
not only to pi'yfit, but to having a fine
productive fill‘ll1. Tliere is very little en-
Ic’l‘,f-,f,_‘(.!l‘.lC,' entci'pi'isiiig farming. Tobacco
raising 1S perhaps an exception ; bet I
am one of those who believe that every
pound of tobacco raised in this State is a,
curse to us rather than a benefit. I am
speakiiig of farniiiig in general, and not of
thcraising of one single article. I have
come to this conclusion (that there is but
very little systematic energetic farming)
‘from observing how our markets are sup-
plied with produce. Our wheat of course
comes from the \-Vest. .That I suppose
cannot well be raised here. The Indian
corn for coiisuiii -’.lO11 in our cities and
manufacturing towns, also comes from
other States, the greater portion of it.——
Coiinecticiit should export rather than
import corn. ’1‘liree-quai'ters of our but-
ter and cheese, comes from out the State.
Our meat markets are supplied almost
entirely with ‘beef, and I believe with
mutton and pork from the “lest. If we
I1l.Hi1l‘lfO1'(l want any real good fruit in
any quantity, we a1'c obliged to send to
New York for it ; and as to market gar-
dening, there is precious little of it prac-
ticed. There should be in the vicinity of
Hartford, as many as eight or ten large
farms devoted _to the cultivation of veg-
etables-for the inai-kets ; but I know of
but one man who gives his attention es-
pecially to that branch of agricultzire,
and he is making money very rapidly, al-
A
1"-"an-un-Ii
thmlgh Klerhaps he would not acknowl-
edge it to the assessors. In the one do-
partment of market gardening, there is a
grand field "for enterprise open to any
farmer, particularly any young farmer,
near Hartford. ‘ There are plenty of
farms in East or West Hartford, which
could be made to pay very handsomely if
they were given up to the raising of first
rate vegetables for the Hartford markets.
Produce of all kinds for the Hartford
market, is supplied in a great measure
from abroad. Instead of coming into
town and filling our streets with two
horse lumber wagons loaded with rich
stores of grain, fruit, butter, cheese, &c.,
&c. ; our Connecticut farmer comes
straggling to town in a one horse vehicle,
under the seat of which is stowed a bag
or a basket, or a tin pail with a “little
jug” of something or other, which he has
squeezed out of his land ; a little surplus
which lie Iiappeized to have over, not a
quantity which he intended from the first
for the market. The little mess which
he brings in, he sells to the liucster or
greeii-grocer as be best can : and then af-
ter making a few inquiries, as to how
some Railroad at the west is progressing,
and getting of course a favorable answer
froiu the man who last year sold him a
bond, he returns to his home. But per-
haps my readers will ask, “ if this is the
case how does he get his money to iii-
vest?” I reply that ii. vast amount of
the wealth of Connecticut farmers is iii-
lierited. The owners of the old Bank
Stock and the subscribers to the new, are
men who received their money from their
fathers who worked hard for it. The
fathers invested it in mortgages or in land
about home : the sons have collected
these mortgages, and have sold wood lots,
and with the proceeds have bought Bank
Stocks and Railroad Bonds, and to such
an extent has this been practiced, that
it has become almost impossible for those
in the country who wish to borrow money
to get it on any security. It has all gone
to the city ; thus depriving the country
in a great measure of the capital neces-
sary to develop the resources of ihe coun-
try. It is possible that I may be mista-
ken in my assertion, that there is very
little systematic energetic farming in this
State, but I judge,‘ from our large niaak-
ets, and certaiulyif there is that kind of
farming, ‘our markets do not show it.
I throw out these suggestions and
thoughts hoping that they will attract
the attention of farmers. If I am wrong
I desire to be corrected. My position is
such that I see the practical workings and
results of the mania among farmers for
rushing to the city to invest their money,
and in whatever else I may be wrong, I
know I am right when I say to farmers,
the best place to invest your money, is on
your farms. A country wealthy in noble
farms, and banks “like angels visits few
and far between,” can laugh at a panic,
and scout the very mention of hard times.

L. B. WuiGu1'-—Deur Sir: I have for many
years been acquainted with the medicinal vir-
tues of your syrup, “ The Scrofulous Anti-
dote,” have used it myself, employed it in
my family, and frequently recommended it to
my friends and acquaintance, when suffering
from an obstinate cough and other symptoms
of incessant or even decided and long con-
tinued pulmonury diseases. I have watched
its operation and effects very closely, and
never knew it to act iiijuriously. In almost
every instance when I have used it, or seen it
Deployed, it has worked charmingly and ben-
eficially--never failing to give some relief,
and generally doing decided good. It is,
moreover, pleasant to the taste. I cheerfully
recommend it for the cases it is designed to
benefit, believing it really a very desirable
compound, and a medieine_ that needs only
to be properly tried to be highly appreciated.
Yours respectfully and gratefully,

clubs of subscribers in his own and adjoining
neighborhoods. for the best and most popular

cy. A privatc circular. f'or the inspection of
agents only, with full list of premiums, will
be sent to any one who desires it, on receipt
