THE FARMERS' AND THE PARTY.
There has been a change of heart
among the party newspapers. A few
months ago the Administration press
were anxious to impress upon the far
mers that, whatever else they might
do, they mast never go ;iuto politics.
Tho fanners have not seen fit to follow
this disinterested advice. Now the
game newspapers insist that, if the far
mers are determined to go into politics,
the Republican party is tho only fl a fe
puuuL-8 iur uie.u. xtui-uuuwvu,

cartv. it has suddenlv been discovered. I
i - ---- - rf
is'a sort of patent medicine which has
peculiar virture for treating the anti
monopoly complaint, as well as ali the
other public diseases except possibly
salary-grabs. Like one of Mr.'Ilelm
hold's decoctions, it only needs liberal
advertising to work miraculous cures
iu all the ailments from which the body
politicnow suffers, or pver shall Le
likely to suffer. The average "pull' '
uf this celebrated panacea may be well
illustrated ' by the following from the
St. Louis Globe, whie't leaves the
marks of having been writteu under
the patriotic associations of tho Fourth
of July:
The retirement of th Republican
party is impossible, a historic necessi
ty will compel this nation, in it sult
preservutiou, to see that its vu-sf powers
and interests are ooulHed to none hut
Republican hands until there are no
other than KepuhUean han is .ee.mg j
them. Tha progress of events will
letter this truth in pillars of fire on the ;
skies, and every rolnieal movenu nt j
standinj: in the wav of R-pubhcan w- !
cendency will Continue to be swept
aside. It is, therefore, both needless
and suicidal for the agricultural clashes
to pursue their aims iu hostility to the
Republican party, which is in essential
sympathy with them.

a-nrtlln. enough, it has been lettered
-in pillars of fire on thekies." Tho.e
who hope to attain a mansion in
; , .1
ethereal ralms, then, must go th:
route. It is the only roa f which pocs
through without change of cars. If the
f,rm noe& to be saved, thev mu.t
patronize this concern.
Tho fact is, that the farmers rcco
nizc an issue of more importance
to
them and to the country than the fight
over tho dead corpse of slavery. Asa
class, they acted with the Republican
party while it was engaged iu working
out the destiny for which it was created.
Now that tho destiny has been fulfilled,
it will be a difficult matter to persuado
the farmers that tho party Js more of
a necessity to them than tho straight
forward attainment of their rights.
They can recognize nothing in the
party as it stands except an organiza
tion for'ret lining one set of oTico-holders
in power, with whom they have no
more sympathy per se than they would
have with another set. It is a very
cheerful view of the situation for Re
publican politicians to regard their
party as a permanent abidingplace; but
nobody else has any particular interest
in it. Tho farmers of the Northwest
will scarcely care to voto the Republi
can ticket for tho purpose of maintain
ing Kellogg in power in Louisiana when
com is only worth 20 cents a bushel.
If they voto for Goy. Carpcner in Iowa,
it will be on account of some other in
centive than tho abstract good of tho
party, or any faith in ollico-holderd of
tho Rankin description. Salary-grabb
ing is not likely to attract increased
loyalty to a party that has no more j
practical claim to existence than that
of"histor:c necessity." Credit Mibilxr
operations have been brought w tVn
the comprehension of the community j
of farmers since they have studied the
efTect of watered and fictitious stock, 1
and trace most of tho railroad abuses of
the day to the Credit Mobilier system
of construction. Monopoly is not cal
culated to find futther forbearanco at
the hands of the farmeis, whether it

wo have properly studied the farmers
movement, it does not care a fig for the
Republican party, or tho Djuueratio
party, or any other party. It is a move
ment against frauds, shams, oppressions
of all kinds, and it looks to their re
form whether existing parties stand or
fall. Credit Mobiliers, salary grabs,
unerj'ial taxation, laud-steals, prjtec
tion of cUs, all fall under their cop-
demnation along-with railroad monopo- j
iiata art thnv riPfVMn7.. them all as i
belonging to one and the game category
of sins against the people, which the
people alone can wipo out' by taking
politics iuto their own hands. Trib

Then followed a debate, in which
one gentleman gave the Irish
prohibitionists a sharp rub, others
defended them as sharply, ano'her
doclarcd significantly that they mun't
be bagged in this campaign, and put
up as leader one who had not the
respect of the commonwealth, and
another declared for a straight out

direct to the Butler question. Mr.

He never the knew man to go back on

havo a man of pluck, even if he drank

to one ftratum of the atmosphere,

in which nothing will live, while the

when navigators of experience control
her. A well construccd balloon will
be as safe as either the ship or steamer.
There is no more danger of the collapse
of a balloon than of a ship springing a
leak or a steam boiler exploding ; bo
sides, the balloon may be devided into
cornoartmcnt of air chambers to in
sure greater safety. I remember read
ing a year or two since an article, written,
I think, by Chancellor Livingstone in
1812, io reference to the feasibility of
steam carriage by rail, in ' which the
Chancellor ridicules the ideas as pre
posterous, and states why the project
will not succeed. His reasons why are
very laughable to us now, who sec their
fallacy. All inventions of valuo to the
world spring not forth as Minervas, but
have their babyhood, youth, and man

"What 7" Something that cots us
nothing, but which wo dole out as
sparingly as though they were diamonds
or dollars; and we know how precious
those arc in tho eyes of mo3t men. Rut
what I would have you bestow upon
all with whom you may come in con
tact, and freely, is more precious than
either ; their valuo is inestimable, yet
the very giving will enrich the giver.
Kind words. They havo upbore many
a sinking heart t'ir mgh fierce and fiery
trials, which, but for them, would h: ve
been utterly overwhelmed. They cau,
they have, saved the erring, enc ur
acd-the weak and feeble, and made
still stronger the stong ones. Even a
dog's eyes will brightenat thorn.
You need not search for objeefs on
whom to bestow them. They are all
about you they are nee le i every
where. In your home yes, first of all
places, in your home. They will fill
it full of sunshine. Give them freely.
If your heart is right before God, you
will never speak rudely, pettishly, or
unkindly in that place where are clus
tered the holiest, purest of earthly tics.
Oh! it must bo that the great Searcher
of hearts will hold us fearfully responsU
ble for our influence in our homo. We
can not be too watchful, we can not
strive too earnestly or pray too oftea
for a loving, gentle manner. Keep, '
your heart pure; try to cultivate a ten
der sympathy for others or, rather, in
one word, strive to live out of self; it is
worth striving for, though it take your
whole lifetime to learn the lessou
will take care of the rest.
Speak kindly to your dependents and
inferiors j to the poor destitute ones.
They possess little, and may appreciate
a warm, friendly and encouraging word
even more than those whoabmod. Do
not bo'afraid to give them your hand
never mind if theirs is rouh and brown
it may help them over a rough place
in their rugged pathway; it will illu
mine your own.
Depend upon it, not one of the lov
ing words you utter shall pj3 un
noticed by Him who has said that not
even a sparrow can fall without Ilia
notice.
If we would each day take some
weary one by the hand ; help, eucoar

A IMXKKUir WOULD.
Some English statistician has been
computing too public debts of the
natioas of tho world. He puts France
at the head of tho list with a burden
of $5,000,000,000 ; the sad legacy of
the German conflict. Great Britain
follows with 83,750,000,000, and the
United States comes third with a debt
of over 82,000,000,000, The aggre
gate public debts of all the Qovero
ments of the world, amount to the
enormous sum of 820,000,000,000, a
figure so aast as to be almost incom
prehensiblc. If a mao were to coun t
it as rapidly as ho could handle it
d dlar by dollar, ho would not finish
the task in fifteen centuries. When we
come to add to this tho debts of States
provinces, municipalities, villages.
, corporations, and individuals, wo have
a mountain of indebtedness perfeotly
appalling. And the worst of it is that
though nations and individuals aro
bankrupt, they aro goining on piling
up more liabilities year after year.
Wealth, which is tho product of labor, ia
completely outstripod in tha race.
Some day this enormous burble must
burst. Then comes tho deluge.
