very able speech in Congress fow
days ago IN opposition to the scheme
OF taking up Government bonds III

THE worst evil Of the t7holeis the de
fusion which calls this payment at
all. It is no payment IN any proper
sense, Tor It neither gives the cred

il relieve tbe debtor from subsequent
responsibility You may get rid Of
the five twenties by issuing the green
back, but how wiII you get rid Of The

The only escape from ultimate pay
mcnt ia gold is T. declare that, as q

Farming in Germany.

Carleton" ia his letter to the
.J14rnal makes some interesting state
men's respecting the agriculture OF
Germany, and contrasts 1t with that
OF France
Germany, as we'll as France, makes
yearly all her sugar from beets.-
IN 1887 the product was 5000, 600
pounds Of sugar; in 1862, so, 0OO,-
500 pounds. From 1916 to 1860,
North Germany added 1000, 900, to
its agricultural population, while
France during the same period lost
100000 of its farming population
Carleton believes this marked differ
encc to Ua owing to the fact that Ger
manv has adopted q systematic
course Of agricultural instruction for
the farming population. -Four Royal
Academies Of Agriculture have seen
established, 10 which the theory AMI
practice Of farming are taught in a
two wear s c0urse-tuition about SAC
"A wear. These academies are attend
ed by students who become practical
farmers It is not expected that ev>
cry Iaborer in the land will obtain
such an education, but il Germany
as ia America, the working men
know now 70 read. They are not 50
degraded as those IN England and
France. The state aims to give in-
struction to these laborers Mines
teen provincial schools have been es.
tablished, each OF which has received
from tho state $4,000. They are
under the direction Of the educated
farmers Of the district, aud the SIM
pic laws OF agriculture are taught, -
Besides these there are special schools
tor instruction IN market gardening
a1I the care OF fruit trees, VI IRE
over, the state maintains seven
schools for chemical anaiy o,s Of soils,
oaj tor experiments ii organic cnem
istry. Eae5 with the economic hab.
It's of the Germans, arc the cause OF
the great prosperity Of that country.
Nature has done far less for Ger.
many than it has for France. Nos
where else arc there seen so broad
and fertile fields as in Central, South
tr1 AMI Northeastern France. Ger
many has had system, France has
gone on the old way, aud tho result
il before the world The farmers of
the United States have something to
learn from Germany. There is also
a lesson for tho statesman. Prussia

Gates her laborins people to excel il
thoir calling, whatever it may be,
and though she is young in years, she
stands to-day in the front rank Of
