OCTOBBtl IB, 18T1.
Mr. Prtsidrnl, and Members of The Saint
Cloud Agticultural and Mtehanieal Alloc
ation
It has been sixteen years *toce I first
saw St. Cloud. To many, the most of
us pe.hapa, they have been sixteen
years of disappointment, of hope de
ferred, ot trembling faith. Ot the law
I met here then, only one, here and
there, remain to-day. Some have gone
to other plaoea of hope and labor some
have gone to that other country where
years and time are swallowed up in
eternity. It is well for us sometimes to
COQtrust the past with the present.-
Tho slow progress ot years is almost ig
nored, in the restless impatience with
vhiob we await the fulfillment of our
hopes, aid we learn slowly and reluc
tantly the lesson that "little by little"
is after all the only general principle
upon which we can safely hope to form
a life or build up a oountry or a town
and yet it is the teaching of the history
ot the world. It is true hera ara ex
ceptions to all general rules. We
thought sixteen years ago that our
town would be the exception and wo
all saw the shadows of our hopes upoo
the curtain of the future Jand oilled
them realities: and the contrasting of
onr past with onr present may teach us
paiiouoa while it encourages our. hope.
16 years ago.we had a weekly mail:
to-day we read at out dinner tables the
newd ot yesterday from alljthe world.
16 years ago when the winter oame and
the ico bound up tbe river,it was along
and weary ride of days and nights,
which the sickly and the feeble could
scarce endure, to reach the railroad and
the telegraph, and the loved ones at
the old home might die and be buried
before we could know that they were
gone. Today the railroad whistle and
the click ot tot telegraph are heard
alike in the winter nod the summer
time, and we can stand in the streets
of the City of New Eork, with lass
fatigue and in less time than ifc took ns
then to reaoh Dubuque. Sixteen yeats
ago we sent to St. Anthony for our
physician, and had it not been for the
speaker and one or two. other self-sacri
ficing men, this whole section of ooun
try would have been without the bles
sing of a lawyer I Sixteen years ago
we had no bridge across the Mississip
pi river spent the best part of two days
iu getting to St. Paul ran onr lumber
30 miles down the Mississippi river
from Little Falls had no Mills, no
Cotut Souse, no Schools, no Churches,
it fact were about as near nothing as a
town could be which had a paper plat
and a name!
Prior to the fail of 1855, I doubt if
there were 100 people in this whule
oouotry.there were DO roads except suoh
as ituro made, and no title to an acre
of land excupt in the United States.
Less thau |6 years a^o the farmers of
this country hid to import wheat for
seel, and a state bordering upon starva
tion commcudei us to the sympathies
of tho charitable. Certainly the.e
room tor enoouragetnent. We cross the
river in tho nights as well as by day,
in the fall and spring as well as ia the
summer time with no wear and jar of
lungs shouting to reluctant ferrymaa,
and no danger of a swamping boat Irom
a drive ot logs or floating ice. Our,
anxiety ia no longer how to get our
selves, but the railroad, across the river.
We manufacture our own lumber and
sell to others we have as good or bet
ter schools than can be found in any
town of onrsixe in the State and we
have churches enough to teach all the
way to Heaven who desire to go there.
We have good roads, good titles to our
land, and raise and sell as good wheat as
is grown in the world. In faot we
have really only one of the great wants
of 16 years ago. Gradually the priva
tions have yielded, to the yesrt. Wo
have comfortable homes, good society.
The town a fair library the oounty a
population of 18,000, and all the acces
sories and very many of the comlorts
and luxuries of life, but that one want
is here yet—the want of moneyIt•.v..........
It is as ranga thing to me that dur
ing all these 16 years Stearns Con nty,
with its reputation of being one of the
best agricultural counties to the State,
should hate waited until to-day for its
Inaugural Address to "tho Steams
County Agricultural nod Mechanical
Society." Bat tho organisation of
thia Society ia a happy omen tor tho fu
ture not only because ot the direct
influence whiob suoh a Society will
have for good but because of its evi
dence thet ws are learning, at last, the
lesson of''little by little," to whioh I adr
verted a few moments ago we are
learning at last the truth embodied in
the heathen fable—"that the gods
help those-who help themselves."
The present is no time, in my ndg
ment, for a lengthy address and the
open air a very poor place i* whioh to
indulge in flowers of rhetorio or at
tempted eloqueuca of speech. But it
you will bear with me I will, instead,
tell you in the very brief period whioh
I have allowed myself for the purpose,
oome plain and homely trntbs which I
do not doubt you knew before, but may
have thought of little, and whioh it* I
can impress upon all onr minds so
deeply that they shall influence our ac
tions, will be the inauguration not
only of a New Society but of a now life.
Oae of the great evils of our times,
an evil which it unchecked will sa^
the very foundations of society and ruin
our country, is tbe growing tendency to
endeavor togetdhviny without work
Labor, while it was stamped upon man's
history at tho beginning as man's pun
ishment for sin, is not without tho
light of God's goodness in this—that it
lias ia man's power to make it alter all
a bleating and cot a corse. Tho Au
thor of all goodness has so organised
war being that this labor is absolutely
aeeeatary bo oar happioees and as a
rutoUlUt there is ntthiag worth hat*
ing which oaurho atiaioeoV without it
or if in itself worth having aed attained
without it, the manner of its getting
seems, somehow, to turn it to a curse.
I have read somewhere that it is a and
hour in a man's history when he learns
the false lesson, that a dollar is better
got ia any other wiy tbsu by earning
it, and I have the exparieooe of those
who have lived where fortunes are
made in a day that in almost every in
stance such a fortune hss been a curse
to the man or his ohildren. We are
apt to think it would not be so with
us, but I tell you there are certain laws
whioh God has stamped upon the world
and certain rules of human life whioh
He has framed and given us that neith
er you nor I can violate with impuWyg
It is the money honestly, laboriously
earned that blesses, not only the man
that tarns it but his ohildren after him
—it is the reputation that crowns ear
nest, persevering labor, that ia worth
having—it is tbe prosperity that comes
of toil and thought and prudence that
makes a man cr a town or a oounty
rich with blessings which are better
than eu'iden growth, inflated values and
the "pride that goes before, a fall
and although we, in our haste, may
count aU thete sixteen years of weary
waiting and impatient labor as of little
worth, the comiog future, I believe in
my heart, will show to yOu and me that
they have been but the forming of a
tound foundation upon whioh now,
with a rapid growth, will spring up a
oity aod develop a oountry that we
shall feel proud to call our own.
I have said that it is a law of our
being that labor is, absolutely neces
sary for our happiness. By labor, I
mean the labor of the whole man, ol
the body aod of the mind. The man
who tills the soil or toils in the work
shops, who never thinks, is always a
poor farmer, a poor moohanio and in
all that ennobles and exalts and makes
men better and really happier—a poor
man. Some accident may possibly make
him rich in dollars, but he never is and
never can be a manly man. The
man who toils all day with his brain
alone, whose weary mind finds no re
lief in physical labor, becomes a wretch
ed dvspeptio, who never knows tho
luxury of a healthy life and is and al
ways will be a poor man indeed, desti
tute of bouyaney and hope, and the
weariest of weary toilers on God's green
earth. So thet for human happiness
mental and physical labor is the indis
pensable requisite and the man
who has learned this lesson and with a
atout hoars adopted it as the principle
of his life, tempering the rule of labor
with relaxation of necessary rest,has not
only taken the safest and surest road to
all that is desirable in results, but also
the nearest path to earthly happiness.
Is this the reason that man's first home
was in a garden, and his first labor to
'dress and keep it?" So that although,
by disobedience he was banished from
that borne where work %aa$ pleature
and for the reason of his sin the
earth itself was eu rsed with its tenden
cy to evil productions instead of good,
all his hibtory of siniessness and holi
ness might lead him back to those pu
suite in which this blending of mental
and physical labor might give him still
the greatest happiness. Certain it is that
tho best and wisest of all ages hays
fuund in Agriculime fit subject ot
Poetry and Pr se, aod the world to-day
stands revolutionised through Science'
applied to Agriculture and the Mechan
ic Arts. But Agriculture and Mechan
ic Arts would to-day be where they were
in the beginning i' mental labor had
not given soul to matter. We draw
this letson and all the farmer or me
chanio' heeds ia to apply it and' he be
comes worthy of his manhood—think
1 know of no ambition more worthy
of man'a highest powers than to be
numbered among earth's prodnocrs,
those who add yearly to the world'*
wealth—whose gain is not another man'a
loss and whose life is not a gathering
from others, but the creation, under
God's laws, of new produets. His own
broad acres lie spread out around him
they were untamed and unproduc
tive when be took them, now they
bloom and blossom with rich harvest*
of profits and beauty-—tho Home re
minds of Paradise—the stocks aod the
herds, the hay and the grain they eat,
aad the ground that raised it are all
his own the mind and the hand of the
Master ia Uponii.all and his farm is
a page of instruction in thrift and skill
ful labor, of incentive to good works
spread oat in enduring characters upon
the Earth tn influence for good to all
the world who see it, He depends up
on no public opinion he* iA patronised
by no man and he can leave his chilT
dren a heritaae of wealth as enduring
as the world. Suoh a farm ought to
day, to be the ambition of every boy
aod how ia it that the oity and not the
oountry is the goal of our, boy's hopes
and that cur girls regard a farm and a
prison with almost equal horror.
There are certain out-reaohings in
the human heart for beauty. Farmers
have too much ignored it—and just
hero don't let me be misunderstood—
I don't mean pickets, paint and mould
itfgs, or pressed brick or polished stone.
I don't mean rich carpets, mirrors nod
silver I don't mean costly ground
with statuary and fountains but I
have in my mind's eye farm where
the fence is of tamarao poles, and tbe
house of logs, and so neat and trim is
the fence, of suoh comfortable and
homely beauty the house, so clean and
grassy and shady nature's lawn around
it, ao full of harmonious grace all the
rough but pleasant surroundings that
toy man might be proud to call it home.
The children love it aad there will nev
er io all the future of possible riohos
and splendor be a home for them of
more sacred memories or unalloyed hap
pinesa thaa thia very spot. They
would not to-day exchange treir chick
ens and Umbo and calvesand colts and
all tho heartfelt luxury^ their plain
but hapoy homo for every thing the
town can gito. But there la education
androfiaod sBaaaers and kiadaoas of
heart aad right teaoaL* aad ike boat
of agrieulmral aapers in that
fiht how many farmers' homos are at
hare of treat and shrubbery aad grata
grass around the doors as if there were
no element of beauty in the human
heart. How many haras are shiftless,
how- many barn-yardi Immense cess
pools of wasting and demoralising filth,
instead of carefully preserved mines of
wealth how many fanner's hornetare
as devoid of anything like real comfort
tho yards are devoid Of beauty. How
many farms are stamped with repulsive
oglineass in the tery fenot, whioh so
much gives character to the whole place,
apparently writhing in very shame that
it is such a slovenly disgrace to the
green earth! Do you tell me the
ground will raise joatas largo a crop
inside an uncouth and untidy fence,
that these things 'bring in no money,
don't sell in the market, cost time and
labor, and ask me for what Let me
tell you—you send your boys to the
town to sohool—there they see different
homes -neat, tidy, well kepi yards, a
kind of material beauty that appeals to
their hearts: and when they go book
to the farm they mark tho contrast: aad
they early learn to think tho farm home
is the necessary result of tho f*rm life,
nod the first opportunity they leave
it Tbey see the over worked wife and
mother,and think little or no.help
in the house is the necessary re
sult of the farm life, and tbe daughter's
won't, if they oan help it,marry farmers.
But say you, we have no time for all
this improvement—ho money to pay
hired help in the house,—then take it
—not from the necessary labor on the'
farm, not from the necessary expenses
aod living, but from the days
you 'spend gossiping, hud talking
and idling in the town, at the atire or
the post office, from the money yon
spend in such things as are hot neces
saries. Clean up the yards, straighten
up and tidy up the fences, mend your
harnesses with leather and not with
rope bring orderbat of confusion, hate
the gates owing on their hinges, keep
your ehiokeoB where they belong, and
your pigs off your front door steps
do anything and everything thtt you*
ban do to mike the f«m attractive and
make yonr home just as near a para
dise as your labor and means oan make
it. Think—in the evenings—in tho
winter time how to do it best—how to
improve your farms most: gito fair
study to the best agricultural papers—
fvrm judicious plans—combine mental
labor with yonr physical labor, give
your wife the needed help in tho house,
give her time to think, and tee how
wonderfully it pays: Teach your boys
the true ambition, to add something in
thought and labor to the wealth of the
world: to aim to be the best farmers in
tho county and State to lovo work
not politics to obtain a farm of their
own—not office: and that there is no
truer, nobler life than that which com
bines the labor ot the farm with tho
deep thought of aeienee. Then keep
out of debt, don't mortgage your farm
to pay for agricultural maohines you
oan get along without Work a good deal
harder rather than do it, but if you have
done it, don't leave them standing
where you nnhitohed yonr horses last,to
suffer greater damage from the weath
er in a year than they would in three of
use, but house them carefully, and when
the debt is paid learn a lesson from it
that at least will be of ate to your ohil
dren. Educate yourselves and all about
you to love simple beauty—not mag
nificence and splendor carry the re
finements and amenities of life oa to the
farm and into your homes and rtment.
her that beauty is not necessary in dol
lars and cents—that a log bouse may
a refined and pleasant home end that
the luxury of the city is no nearer hap
piness than the free air and broad aeres
and green grass and shady trees of the
country. Dignify your labor and your
vocation, and your children will all lovo
the farm where they have been taught *.gaejafacaV

But the human mind is ao constitu
ted that for its improvement it Beads
the friction of contact with other minds.
The lawyer who never meets another ia
the trial of a cast, oaa never improve
as he whoto daily contact with others
