TIFFIN TRIBUNE.

THE CROW'S CHILDREN.
A huntsman, bearing his gnu afield.
Went whistling merrily ;
When be heard the blackest of black crows
CaU out from a withered tree ;
"Too are going to kill the thieving bird.
And I would if I were yon ;
But yon mini touch my family.
Whatever else yon do !"
"I'm only going to kill the birds
That are eating up my crop ;
And If your young ones do such thing.
Be sure they'll have to stop."
"Oh," aald the crow, "my children
Are the best ones ever hern ;
There isn't one among them all
Would steal a grain of com."
"Bnt how shall I knew which ones they art f
Do they resemble you T"
"Ob, no," said the crow, "they're the pret
tiest birds,
And the whitest that ever flew."
Bo off went the sportsman, whistling.
And off, too, went his gun ;
And Its startling echoes never ceased
Again tin the day was done.
And the old crow sat untroubled,
Cawing away in her nook ;
For she said, -HeTl never kill my birds
Sine I told him how they look."
""cw there's the hawk, my neighbor,
Shell sea what aha wlU see, soon ;
And that saucy, whistling blackbird
slay have to change his tune !"
When lo ! she saw the hunter
Taking the homeward track,
With a string of crows as long as his gun
Hanging down his back.
"Alack, alack," said the mother,
"What in the world have you dona t
Ton promised to spare my pretty birds.
And you're killed them every one.
"Your birds H said the puuled banter,
"Why I found them In my corn ;
And besides they are black and ugly
As any that ever were born !
"Get out of my sight you stupid '."
Bald the angriest of crows ;
"How good and fair her children are
There's none but a parent knows."
"Ah ! I see. I see," said the hunter,
"But not as you do, quite ;
It takes a mother to be blind
Bhe can't tell black from white."
PHOEBE CARY.
The Farmer Pays for All.
Since the organization of tbe secret
order of tbe Patrons of Husbandry,
and Its introduction among our agri
cultural communities, there have not
been wanting demagogues, wno. for
the purpose of ingratiating themselves
among tbe husbandmen, have unduly
exalted their calling on the one
hand, and have spoken in detraction
of all other classes of Society. The
case of tbe Farmer against govern
ment and Society is. moreover. em
bodied in the popular catchword,
which, has been thoughtlessly repeat
ed cy a tnonsand tongues, "ine farm
er uavs for all 1"
It is gravely asserted that not only
au tbe expenditures or tne uovern
ment, but tbe entire expenses of so
Iciety, are derived solely from tte
farmer, and that all otner classes, lite
iso many parasites, ratten upon nis
toil. Whatever merits this system of
demagoguery may nave, it is not ttiat
of novelty, because the fable of tbe
revolting members against tbe abde
men has come down to us from tie
very dawn of written history.
it is a fact as notorious as maispti'
table, that those countries and com
munities where tbe vast majority cf
the people are solely devoted to agri
culture are poor and feeble, It to
Greece and not Asia Minor that has
illuminated tbe pathway of centuries.
UN or is it Known to us for its agricul
ture, but for its 'statesmanship, fine
arts, and literature; and imperial
Borne, which has sent down the echo
of its name to be reverberated by cen
turies yet to come, acmevea its iam,
not by agriculture but by Its proweis
in war.
Modern nations like Spain, Portu
gal, Brazil, Mexico and South Ameri
can republics, whose people are chiefly
engaged in tilling tbe soil, do not pre
sent a desirable state of society. 'Ihe
reasons for this are obvious. Wfcen
the husbandman is compelled not
merely to till tbe soil, but also to con
struct bis own plow and tbe cart in
wnicn ne conveys nis produce to
market, and tbe very garments which
clothe his body, his productive power
is reauceu to tne minimum by toe
variety of these tasks, so that he will
be unable, by the greatest bodily ex
ertions, to raise himself above abject
poverty.
It is the division of industrial pur
suits and the organization of different
classes to sat co-operatively witn eacn
other wnicn nas enabled modern civil'
lization to place so many comforts
within the leacn of the poorest in the
land, our very poor nouses to-day con
tain more solid comforts, and even
articles of luxury, than the abodes of
tbe Baxon nobility or tentn century.
Unfounded and indiscriminate accu
sations of idleness and unproductive
ness have been more particularly
directed by political shysters against
those classes of society that do not
perform manual labor, yet Leibig, the
author of the science of Agricultural
chemistry, . has enabled tbe agricul
turists of the civilized world to obtain
with tbe same expenditure of force
million times more of products in
single season than be could have pro
duced if he bad held the plow for
eight? years.
The numberless inventions of the
present era, and, for Illustrations, we
simply cite tbe steam engine and tbe
threshing ana harvesting machines,
have empowered tbe farming com
munities not merely to multiply
manifold their productions with the
same expenditure of labor, but have
also enabled them to dispose of their
surplus produce at a pront, and to re
ceive af an equivalent, therefore, such
additional luxuries as tbey may ad
vantageously select. In view of these
facts it will take but tbe slightest re-
nectlon to establish tbe conviction
that tbe inventor and man of science
are bestowing blessings upon man
kind, though they may not toil in tbe
Held, or equal value or tbose of ine
husbandman.
A team has run away, a farmer who
has been thrown from the wagon has
broken his limbs. A sympathising
crowd ol neighbors gatber about him
and what is their first thought ? A
horse for a messenger ! Let him be
swift as Sheridan's charger, to call
surgeon, so that the mangled limbs
may be set and the life saved. It is
true, in tbe course of time, when tbe
patient is once more hale and hearty,
he may forget to pay the surgeon, and
he may again rail against tbose class
es of society wno toil not witn tneir
hands, but he owes his life to that
Dhyslcian'8 skill, nevertheless.
Again, death has set his seal upon
the brow of that beloved cniid, and
we are brought face to face with that
awful chasm that lies between time
and eternity. Tbe form of tbe loved
one is about to be placed beyond our
sight forever. It is then we take
counsel with the minister of the Gos
pel, the representative of that Work
which, In that solemn bour pro
claims : "k am tne lire ana tne resur
rection." Then the minister is need
ed, though he may be scoffed at in
times of prosperity and health.
What can crude toil achieve when
performed by a man of ignorance ?
Did not tne system of slavery Impov
erish tbe land in which that ignorant
labor was employed r can tne larm
do without the teacher ? Can he
see his little ones grow up unable to
plan and calculate, and to Invest with
profit the proceeds of their labor?
Then we must have the teacher : and
we can not have him with the requis
ite competence and ability unless we
establish the uiversity and tbe semi
nary.
We care not how much tbe farmer
may toil In his field, or how hard tbe
mechanic may labor In bis Bhop, if the
laws oo not protect ana guarantee to
him tbe proceeds of his labor, his In
dustry has been in vain. Thus, for
the security of our civil and political
rights, science of jurisprudence Is all
essential, ana tne lawyer, not tbe pet
tifogger, nut tne real jurist, is a neces
sary, useful, and benencial.member of
civilized society.
Tbe newspaper which announces
the state of tbe markets, and gives in
formation of droughts and floods, so
that tbe farmer may be enabled to
secure them full advantage of tbe
times, is also essential. A family
paper, which is tbe herald of both joy
and sorrow, and which, by instructing
the youth, keeps them out of bad so
ciety, is paying its way a thousand
fold. We venture to assert that no
family can either become or remain
prosperous that is deprived of its news
paper. Beal estate, and other descrip
tions of propery, would depreciate if
organized county should permit its
local papers to languish or to die. In
fact, we know of no class of men who
pay their way so fully as tne conduc
tors of tbe five thousand local weekly
Journals in the United States.
rowerrai nations aione are res pe led.
What makes it more desirable to be
citizen of the United States than a
citizen of Mexico or Venezuela 7 It
because the American citizen is a
member of a Bepublic of 40,000,000 of
of
in
be
intelligent men, who know their
rights, and, knowing them dare main
tain tnem. vitnout a military and
naval power we would beat tbe mercy
of other nations, to be plundered and
ravaged. Quite recently our flag was
insulted, American citizens were shot
without due process of law, and
once tbe enure people looked to its
army and navy to right tnis insult.
Thus, scientifically trained army and
navy officers, with schools of military
science, are as essential to tbe welfare
of the farmer as the farmer is to those
institutions.
Tlien there is the miner, who toils
in the bowels of the earth, far remote
from the genial light of the son, in
tbe damp, cold atmosphere of the
deep. Iron, coal, and copper are the
results of this hard labor and the en
gineering skill which makes mining
possible. Does any one pretend that
the farmer, without the iron plow or
without the iron machine could work
to any advantage ?
All persons necessarily engaged In
the transportation or produce and
goods the engineer that is in charge
of the locomotive, as well as the tele
graph operator that announces that
the way is clear, are as essential to the
achievements and comforts of society
as the farmer.
We do not claim that all these grand
divisions of society are numerically
well adjusted, nor that tbe members
thereof are alike useful. There are
poor lawyers and doctors, as well as
poor farmers ; but the classes them
selves are essential to the attainment
of the highest degree of comfort, be
cause it is this organization of forces
which enables the least expenditure
of labor to obtain the greatest amount
of results.
Agriculturists are necessary some
where in the world, but they are not
essential to any one country thereor.
England to-day. by setting its mill
ions of spindles at work, and its thou
sands of eteam engines, that toil with
the concentrated power of millions of
human hands, and which is import
ing a moiety oi its iooa even now.can
exist, if it continues to have the mar
kets oi the world for its manufactures
without any agriculture at alL Its
mines and manufactures can set to
work the farmers of Hungary, Tur
key and China, and in tbe furthest
corners of tbe globe, to supply them
with the raw products of grain and
meat. As long as English manufac
turers can supply the people of these
countries with the manufactures of
iron, cotton, and wool, to 'advantage,
its future is assured, though not a
bushel of grain grows within its
boundaries.
In our seaboard cities this same
class of agitators that in the country
ten tne farmer "ne pays ior all,'
make similar assertions to tbe work
ing man. In France, and particular
ly in Paris, this long continued agita
tion has produced its legitimate fruit
in tne Commune revolt: and the
world ought to be thankful to France
that it has given an exhibition of tbe
mm and devastation which doctrines
like these bring to the populace;
Let every citizen who nas the wel
fare of the country at heart, and espe
cially every intelligent agriculturist
and the American farmers as a class
possess rare good sense and judgment
set nis lace iiKea rocs against these
base attempts to excite hostility and
jealousy between the different classes
of civilized society.
We take it that every man In this
broad land who is not pecuniarily in
terested in a particular railway, is in
favor of chean transportation. We
take it that the masses of citizens; of
an classes are in iavor oi any meas
ure which promises to result in the
conveying to their doors their gooos
and products at the cheapest rates.
Why, then, should we not all co-ope
rate to think out the best possible
way r
Another system of denunciation
has been practiced against what Is
called tbe "middle man." Far be It
from us to say that the co-operative
association oi farmers ior tne purpose
oi i id porting a particular article may
not be pecuniarily advantageous, and
mat tne experiment should not be
tried, though hitherto nearly all sim
ilar associations have proved to be in
tne course of time failures on account
of the capacity of the agents employ
ed. Let this experiment be fully
triea, ana ii it is successiui so mucn
the better: but the indiscriminate de
nunciation of retail merchants, and
other classes of mercantile men is
wholly uncalled for.
Suppose the farmers of a particular
county could organize a system by
which a single store should supply
tnem witn all tne dry goods, drugs,
medicines, bard ware, machinery, and
in fact with all articles furnished
them by twenty establishments. If
this single establishment were to su
percede the others it would drive
away ihe doctor, the minister, the
oiacKsmitn ana mecbanio, and re
duce a city of five thousand inhabi
tants to perhaps twenty families,
What would the farmer gain? Sup
pose he should get his goods twenty
five per cent, cheaper, he would be
the loser. And why? Where will
he have his market for wood, fruit.
vegetables, butter eggs, and other per-
system can be seen in tbe South,
Where tbe large planters used to im-1
port everything from the city direct
ly, ana wnere ior many miles not a
village can be found. What is land
worth in those regions twenty miles
from any place? Not more than
three dollars, instead of fifty or one
hundred dollars, which land is now
bringing in Wisconsin, Michigan and
iowa. Tbe nrst question a purchaser
asks when trying to invest is. how
far is the land from the nearest town?
If the farmers should succeed in de
stroying these villages they would be
as wise as the planter at Jamestown.
Va., who refused to sell a single acre
to a company that proposed to build a
city mere, because unruly boys would
rooms orcnard.
When the skilled mechanics are
driven away to seek employment in
tne cities, will tbe farmer find it prof
itable to send his machine or wagon
five hundred miles to a large city to
be mended ? Will he find it of ad
vantage, in case he wishes to build a
house to import tbe masons, plaster
ers and painters ? If this system of
concentration in large cities at the
expense of the village population
could prevail, the farmer would be tbe
severest sunerer in tbe end, and be
more than ever in tbe bands of large
moneyed corporations.
We confidently look forward lo the
oay wnen tbe sober second tbougbt
will prevail with the farmers inside

at no distant date tbey will Visit
with indignation tbose political trick

endeavored to array them against

evils, and mase tolerable tbose tbat

Jones' Ride.
A few days ago Jones was injudic-1
iously "full." Being painfully aware I
of nis inebriety, be endeavored to con
ceal it from the public by buttoning
up nis coat very cioseiy, imparting an
abnormal stiffness to his knees, and
tripping over his own heels. He
stalked up to a street-car, walked
briskly in just as tbe hone started for
wardand instantly tumbled out
again backward without unbending a
muscle, cscraigniway ne recovered
the upright splashed with mud, and
re-entered, seating himself beside an
acauaintarice, making no sign of his
mishap. Presently he turned to this
individual and inquired: .
"Kliz-un7"
"No."
He considered a moment and then
again asked:
"umneincs .
"No."
More reflection sleepily then:
"Kunoverapreclpice ?"
"No."
"Splozhn?"
"No."
Somnolont cogitation.
"Any accid'nt?'
"No."
He took this piece of Information
Into his intellectual maw, and, digest
ine it, concluded that be was very
drunk indeed. Anxious to coyer np
the disgraceful fact, and torn tbe mat
ter off respectably, he turned again
with the bland observation:
"Well, if I'd a'Known tbat. 1
