Methodisfa and afgxarv.-

Rev. DR.. Eddy, editor of the Northwest
ern Christian Advocate, N. E ), has written
a letter to President Buchanan, which appears
in the Chicago papers. He states that the
Methodist Church is no political Organization:
that its members have ever been loyal peo-
pie, and that as suta they ctafns the right to
enter any part of the domain Of the United
States out that the denominations TO which
they belong has attained its influence iii con-
sequence of its being decided and untompro-
missing in its anti-sIavery views Marty per-
soug residing in the Slave States prefer to be

Church for which 81. Eddy speaks, YET tSey

question arises, can Methodsts be protected
in the Southern Stetes, or are they to be ex-
posed TO death at the hands of unlicensed
mobs? Hitherto the Church has been divi-

Results of the Census.

The following remarks upon the Census of
1860, and ifs results, from the Cincinnati
Railroad Record are interesting: .fF
L. It will probably appear that scarcely
any of the large cities and towns, especially
those connected dih nganwfattu1ez, have ia-
creased as much as has been anticipated
The cause of this is three-fold. 1st. We
have noticed in this journal, in former articles,
that the tendency Of modern civilization was
to increase the cioic Ibopuiatiotf at the expense
of the agricultural. Rural townships, in
some cases, actually diminished, while tle
large towns rapidly increased prior To- 1910.
Perhaps this process has beena material re-
action SO far as the towns were concerned,
which nlakss their progress now slower. But
this c,stsef ffas acted with much less force than
another, viz: B. The policy of the United
States Government in regard to manufactures
was changed, by the Tariff Act of 1876,
which took off the specific duties from foreign
manufactured goods, and placed all articles
under horizonsal lines. ghe effect of tl,is was
greatly to Increase foreign commerce., but it
was directly the reverse With American man
ufactures of all kinds. The wool.n manufac-
lures almost perished the iron interests drop
ped the cotton manufactures Eefe' barely
sustained and while exterior commerce -four
ished, the manufacturing towns aud domestic
industry of the country dwindleth OF these
facts the Census tables will show the, tii1qnez-
tionable evidence. Fhe policy of tie Govern
meut, Under the Tariff of 1912, was to en-
courage home industry, while the policy Of the
| Government in 1916 was to encourage foreign
commerce. 1t is evident enough that foreign
commerce has fourished the navigation in
terests have fourished, and such places as
New York and New Orleans have been great
ly beneftted. Bat, it is Just as evident thai
towns villages, inhabitants, merchants, farmers
and manufacturers, must be depressed by q
policy which direrted he capital and labor o
the country from these pursuits to huild ur
Ena9igation and foreign commerce. The etftct
will be seeB Id the Census Of the manufactur
ing and interior towns which will appear tt
be langnishhg, derfessedl or at best RETARDED
in growth. Sd. Another cause will be fount
4 in the great Immigration to the West, which
has been greater than usual partly from tht
great quantity of land put in market, and th'
mining fever of this Western frontier.

How / Maas sorghum Sugar.


A number of my neighbors having witness

vised me to write out my process for the pub

well; If not, there is no harm done: s 4

Woodward, made an excellent speech; in the
Fifth ward, Mr.J. g. Matthews, an intelligent
mechanic and leader hitherto in the Demo-
cratic ranks, gave his reasons for joining the

ment. In the Ninth pperd, Mr.. ". e. More

There hass Beer sos display or ostentation in
these changes. The changes, indeed, are ef-
