TIT ..niL, m nfi & il , yf Farming az tae (-,'. Never before have tliere been so many .. people of all classes taking a strong, direct, personal interest in the agricultural situation and prospects. Business i men, bankers, capitalists, stock brokers, 'merchants, mechanics, manufacturers, ' operatives,, and day laborers even, are ' watching the daily bulletins and reports f, of the weather, with especial reference - to l;o v it is affecting the growing wheat, corn and oats, and the further planting of corn. Never before have they seen so clearly that farming is the real basis of all other buslnesss, and that upon it rests the prosperity of the country. -' They now comprehend the fact that it " was the good crops of 1879, 1880 and ' ' 1881, from the export of which we received so many hundreds of millions of ., dollars from other lands, which changed tlie financial depression of 1873, and ..the years following into a prosperous activity extending through all branches of trade and manufacture. Every extra bushel of wheat or corn, or pound of meat, cheese and butter that went to market helped turn the scale. The hundreds of millions of bushels of grain that came from the interior to the seaboard, gave profitable employment to the railroads. These bought and used more cars, more iron, more steel, and ; the makers of these, from head director to the lowest laborer, received more wages and more constant employment, and they purchased more freely thoso articles that go to supply the necessities and comforts of every day life. This stimulated and increased the mercantile trade, and made heavier demands upon all kinds of manufactured commodities. The farmers who received the proceeds were able to reduce debts upon their farms; to buy more and better implements; to pay up their store debts, and to buy more freely from the merchants. The merchants and shop-keepers were in turn able to pay up their debts to wholesale houses, brokers in manufactures, and importers, and to buy large stocks of goods for cash or on short credits. The carrying of these goods increased the transportation business, and stimulated the building of five to ten thousand miles of new railroads per year. This brief glance at some leading points shows theigreat and far-reaching influence of prosperity to farmers. On the, other hand, the unfavorable winter and spring and the summer droughts of 1881 cut down the surplus wheat and corn and meat and dairy products and cotton, . mauy score millions in' value. This of course diminished exports, and has started gold abroad; it has decreased . the ability of farmers, and all classes of workers, to buy goods and manufactures. The decline in the demand for v iron and steel, and the fall in prices, prevent the payment of the wages asked for and there is now prevailing one of the greatest ' strikes" ever known in . this country, of laborers who demand . higher pay to meet the increased cost ' uf Jiving, due in part to the advance in breadstuff's, consequent upon the lessened crops of last year. Is it any wonder that this state of things has opened the eyes and enlightened the understanding of that half of the people who are not engaged in agriculture, and whd have hitherto been inclined to look upon fanning as of inferior importance, and suited for clod-hoppers P Farming . has come to the front, and it is going to stay there.
