THE FARMER AND THK CURREN'CY. 383 



The object is not to find truth, but to get votes. The writers 

 or speakers may be, and probably usually are, perfectly honest 

 in their views. It is easy to get strong convictions by the 

 exclusive study of one side. The way to find truth is to 

 impartially study all sides, shirking no facts which may be 

 disagreeable. The caution here given applies to all parties, 

 and, I am sorry to say, on this particular subject, to nearly 

 all literature.
