AGRICULTURAL. MATTER PREPARED SPECIALLY FOR TEE " RECORD - U.SION.** Tto Ellddleman and the Farmer - The fca.o of Crops — Troit and Fruit— wFß9__t™* l i9mm&&' : ri . {the niost ur-ent rea-ons for tn« or ganization and present existence of the Orarge in the United States *»< and is the greedy exactir.ns and illegitimate transac tions of middlemen in their Irasiue-s relators with the farmer, in reference to the handling and disposal of his produce. It there was aome way by which the producer and con sumer could lie brought face to face, and the crops of the foimer ■ilri be exchanved from the or.c to the other without unnecessary cost, it is evident that both would be greatly bei.eli'.ed. The producers cf agricultural product* cf necessity are scattered over a broad expanse of country. Their trea_.s of knowledge as to the demand fur their pro ducts and the pricea thsy bear in the markets is necessarily limited. Their time ard ener gies are required in the details if production and preparation for market of the several nope the; ra-^e. The contntier* tf these, product*, on the other md to gr-cat extent, reside in the cities and are theii se'.ves in turn quit? generally producers of gixids, warf- and trerchsndise of which the f.->rmfc!s are consumers. It is evident that 'lie f :irmer in a di-.tant part of the couatry and the manufacturer in the city csi.not ma'ae it convenient to meet together and make direct exchange cf goods and products. The dis tance is too great between them, and the ex panse of travel is toe great to warrant such m tine; and exchange for the amount of bi-iness to be transacted between them. What is true a* between individual farmers ail manufacturers is also true as between a'l the individual farmers and manufacturers in the country, and the individuals make up the communities. The communities of the country are constantly producing a surplus of agricultural products which the communi ties in the towns and cities stand in need of ; and so, ou tbe other hand, the c immunities in the towns and cities are constantly producing a surplus of manufactured articl-s which the c immunities of the country are constantly ia need of. As it is inconvenient for producers and consumers to meet face to face and per s inal'.y make exchange of their good*, so it is inconvenient for them to send their own conveyances and special agents to transact their business f r them. (>.'..•:' these wants and nee s-i i ■ and out of these mutual incon veniences of meeting personally or by »j»ecial agents arose a system of conveying go^ds from point to point, call-d transportation. In new countries tha mei.es of transportation ar>of a primitive character, as on wagons, stages, etc., on land, and fiatboata, scows, etc , on water. As countries grow older and become - more thickly populated, and busiaets in creases, the necessities of transportation mc .-ease, ard these necessities call into existence • new and more commo.iious and more exj cdi* i ti vi means of transportation, and we have ■ steamboats en water and railroads on land. , Out cf the same state of niTurs has also grown a new business having for its object ' tbe facilitating of exchange of goods as be- I tween different parts of Lie country, and be- i tweeu different iudividuala living near each i o:her, either is the city or country. The : general name of this exchange of goods and - products, or the general term used to desig- i nate it, is commerce. The term commerce, however, embraces both the transportation ' ar.d exchange of the goods and products. Those who attend to the exchange of the rods and products, as between the growers and manufacturers, for- a consideration, becoming the mutual agents of each, ..re properly middle-men. Th'se middle-men or general agents are divided into several classes, and have received differ- i ent names or . ell iti ins, according to their i BDodesofd -> ess. The merchant is i one who buys and mUs goods, wares and pro- i ducts and makes his t.r lii.-r out of the ad- i vance on prices for which he sells them, over i and above cost on purchasing prices, with io- i cideutal expenses addtd. Tne success of the ] lecitimate merchant depends upon bis thor ough knowledge of supply and dem in '•, and his skill to bring the producer and consumer together atthe least c-'S*. and upon his abi.ity , to secure and transic; _. large amount of ! of lu-iuess. The business if the wholesale ; merchant cay extend to every country in , -which the articles, or any of them in which be deals, are pr-ductd or are to be found. He buys at the lowest prices hi can get goods for and sella them at the highest prices he can sell them for. His profits are his own, and ids business is honorable and legitimate no long as he resortß to no unfair means and makes no untrue representations to reduce purchasing prices or to advance selling prices— does not miareprrs°rit tho character of the goods he de..:- in. Of such merchants and such. merchandising Grangers aud manu facturers have no reason to and do not com plain. Merchandising, curried on in this open and honorable manner, whether by the wholesale or retail merchant-, is 0 great benefit to a country and to all classes of producers and consumers. But when merchants combine to misrepresent the ttate of the supply and de mand by the publication of false reports of crops or false report-, of prices, or to buy up specific articles and produce a comer, or ia acy other way create a fictitious con dition or traGe, to cheat the people on the one baud or the consumer ou the other, and thus secure to themselves illegiti mate and exorbitant profits at the expense of any class of the community then this style if operatiou ceases to be legitimate mer chandisipg, and those who engage in it become amenable to the chare- of obtaining money under false pretenses, and should be held up to the scorn of the community and punished under the laws ta prohibit frauds. Such merchandising is in plain terms public robbery, aid in its effects upon the commu nity, both financially an 1 morally, is m .-re detrimental than the forced Contributions of the highwayman. Tnere is another class cf merchants or middlemen who do not propose to employ their own capital by investment in goods, but by their advertisements and o'.hei wisa place themselves before the public as strictly middlemen, professing simply to act as the confidential business agent of whoever may seek their services cr trust business to their management. For these services these middlemen generally charge a fee or commis sion on the business transacted, as compensa tion. They are termed commission mer chants. When this class of merchants live strictly up to tec professions, receive, stare and sell goods, or accept orders and buy goods, getting the best prices they can for goods sold in the best market they can find, or buying fcr the least price they can in the lowest market, and transact their busi ness in an open, straight-forward, m est manner, and charge only the com mission _ agreed upon, or the ruling commission where the business is transacted, tben this form of merchandising is of great benefit to the individuals who desire to nave their business transacted in this manner, and to the community and the country. When, however, these ostensible commission merch ants betray the confidence of their principals by charges far alleged services in care and transportation of goods never performed, when they report higher Dricea paid for goods purchased than they really paid, or report lower prices for goods 3.11 than they really received, or when, having goods in the r possession, to sell they connive and plot with others in the same business, or secret partners, to depreciate prices, with a view to securing to themselves greater profits than their legitimate commission on the goods, honestly haudled and sold, pays them, or in any other way contrive to cheat their employers, then they, too, become amenable to the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, and should receive the same esti mate of the community as do blacklegs and common cheats or traveling confidence men. Whether true cr not, the farmers of the United States, end especially of this State, believe that there is bet comparatively few merchants in the country who carry on a strictly legitimate business. That there are but comparatively few who do not take ad vantage of their situation, in one way or an other, to make for themselves illegitimate profits out of producers ot every class, and more especially out of agricultural producers. They believe that grain buyers ed buyers of farm produce of every kind have come to consider the fanners as proper and rightful subjects to prey upon, and that a great vari ety of schemes have been invented and are .- :•:- -■ --_---■- -_ - _ in cocatuit practice to do the farmer cut of jii»t ij. ii,|n,»iai.u for his investiuents oi.il 1.1. r.

They tell you that the (act tha*. farm produce generally nd the whet emp in particular remains at a low prite e»cii »e«»ou i-.-itil the Hulk of the same has pa-i-ed from the bands of the farmer aad h»« been accumulated in the handi of a few M.irchantu, an that then prices suddenly ri-e aird r.-u.ain up till another harvest tbat thi-e facta are ■mi • ikable sign* "' ille^iti mate" combination* of merchants a ft 'ain-t farmt rs, and i tf irds sufficient ground tor the farmers ?m a class to look upon the n_trchi'.nt* as» class unworthy of coi odeaoe in business.

I", dots not make the ties of unity strong enough to cope with associated capital under a uni.y of management. The combination of farmers must be as ci.se and ;i perfec". and as manageable as ate the combinations of merchants, to succeed even in a small degree in checkmating the latter. There must be a strong business head i-nd a him busiucss band at the helm _> steer the /rmger ship successfully into port— the Cap tain u.u-t be master oi the ship either iv a calm or storm alike. A mere social and edu cational combination will accomplish but little more than to lead tho individual to see more dearly and to f»el more keerly the i npofilions to which he is mi, ject. They v.ill not alone give him the power 1 1 remedy thene impositions. Tbis can only bo d me by moneyed corporations, with the capi tal stock well distributed in small amounts among the farmers themselves. When the farmers are prepared to make this kind of . combination they may command respect and consideration in their oorp rate capacity, and incirectly receive the benefits thereof in their it-dividual capacities. Till then they will re main poor Q. -angers. The file of Crops. . The channels of business are co arranged that the products of the farmer pass thrcngh too many hands before they get into the hands of the consumer. Each time they change bands a profit must be taken out of them, and so many profits are exacted that while the producer receives barely enough to pay decent wages for his labor in producing them, tho consumer haa to pay so much for them that talis scanty wages or salary will scarcely support his family. Thus by the machinations of . few men the great multi tude are kepi hard at work, with their no_.es on the grindstone, so to speak, to eke out a poor living for themselves while they are supporting the few in luxurious Living and general indulgences. Thoae wbo produce the means of life for the world should at least have a f.ir share of the world's good things. But tiling-. seem to be drifting from bad to worse. The Produce Exchange of San Francisco has been organized for the purpose of increasing indefiaitely tha number »f times of sale of the farmers' crops, and thus make the distal cc fr. in the producer to the con sumer greater, and it the same time to cut diwn the rices to the producer atd put tbem up to the consumer. Will tors- two great classes be. ho.xiwir.ked in this way by ths plans oi the Exchange ? y--2 Frost and Fruit. We have reports from different localities of ii jury to fruit, crops by frost. While we re gret any individual losses, we do not believe that the damage has been general or that it will work any general detriment. The fruit of neatly all kinds set unusually full on the trees or vices this season, anu needed a con siderable thinning out to save the trees from thetificts of au ovet-bearing. and to allow the fruit i ."- 1: to grow to ful size and to mature perfectly.' Seeing that orchardists were not likely to do this 'thinning out, na ture allowed jack Frost to step in aud do it for them. We think he has done a good ser vice, a.id that we will have better fruit and better orchards next year. Di Infecting Fruit Bcxss Peach, p'um ar.d cherry-growers seem to think it a hardship that they are required to have their fruit boxes disinfected to prevent the spread of the idling moth, which only injures the apple, pear and quince crops. At first this objection seems to lie a gooij one, but a moment's reflection will show that it is not. Th re are very few orchards of any size i.i which there are not peaches, pears and ap ples, and the moths are just aa likely to Oe spread by peach boxes returned from the warehouses of fruit dealers, not disinfected, as by pear or apple boxas. Tha interest to de stroy all kiuds of insects that injure fruit is a community interest. Next year the pear and apple boxes may be required to be disin ficted to prevent the spread of a disease con fined to peaches, plume and cherries. Then the hoe will be on the other font. The enemy is a common one and must be fought in a common manner. _ WHAT THE CIRCUS DID. We were a quiet ai.d sober set, Little ■ceuatomed •<> noise and fret, Decent snd modest at work or play, And oh ! so proper in every way, ton we went to the circus ! Nobody ever had seen us go At all too fist, or *t all too slow; No ni&tt^r bow gaily we talked or .sang; We never had used a word of slantr Before we went to the ciruua ! Tf'e went to church, or we went to school, By the very most orthodox kind <■£ rule ; For we were * people of Dutch descent, And rather phlegmatic Id temperament Until we went to the circus ! Alas and alas ! 'tis a woeful sight The way we are changed at the time I write ! Father is swaying against the breeze, Qung by the too- from A high trapeze, Trying to copy the circus ! "The >>oy_4 on their heads, with feet in air, Are riding wild horses on each high chair; Or down on their hades on the side A-alk brick Are balancing tub* fur a juggling trick ; And the i'iri- have paint d hands and face, And got themselves up for an Indian race. As they taw litem do at the circus ! Mother high up on the table stands, Semiring the baby with both her hands, Swinging the baby with many a rub. And brandishing him tike an Indian club; While baby himself, in terrible fright. Howls like a Zulu from morn to night, Since we went to the circus I Ala« and alas ! I can only say, I wish in the night, I wish m the day, I wish with my heart, 1 wish with my head, I wish with my ears which are nearly dead, I wish with a port of mute despair, 1 wish with a shriek that would rend the air, We never had none tj the circus ! - Wide Awake. . • Can't Get It.
