TEA costs 35 cents per pound in China,
the duty is 25 cents. that makes go cents
The freight TO New York about two cents,
ths importers fair profit 10 per cent,
and the retail dealers 25 per cent. That
brings the tea to the consumer at 93 cents
per pound, allowing over two cents for
freight from New York to Cincinnati.
This same tea cannot be had in this city
for less than 81, so per pound, giving 81
cents pIunder on each pound, for the
benefit of the heavy capitalists who mon.
opolize the tea trade. We're there no du.
ty on tea. and were there no monopoly Of
capital, chiefly through the aid of banks
then tea would come to the consumer al
SIS cts. per pound. This gives a clear
swindle to the poor, of 3S cents on The
pound, by reason of the duty, making .
total of robbery on occouDt Of both the
duty and the monopoly Of capital, 80 cts
on each pound Cincinnati Enquirer.

PERsEVERANCEIN PRAYER.--T

PERSEVERANCE IN PRAYER.--The
following illustration was used by
Dr.. Payson in familiar convorsa-
ton with a friend: "God deals
somewhat with ia as wo do with
our children. Whom I am in my
study engaged in writing or modi.
tation, if hear ono ofmy children
cry, do not 20 out to it immedi-
ately. The occasion Of it's tears
may be nero momentary trouble,
capable OF boing removed by others,
or from witch it may be diverted
by somo toy But If it's crios con-
tinuo, and ! find that nothing but
my proscnce will pacify it, / leave
everything and 60 to It. So when
tho ohiIdron. Of God begin to cry
for his presence he doos not answer
them Immediately, but waits to
800 if tho ory is repeated; and if
he, findsl that his child will be-
satisfied with nothing but his
Fathers presence, this blessing

Why Farmers Should Be
ThOCouRhlY Organized.

Tho following wo extract from
n very ablc address delivered be.
fore the Minnesota Agricultural
Society, at the State Fair, Sep. 80;
1869, by Col. D. A. Roberts, Of st.
Paul, Minnesota: - ..,'.....
With tho exception Of husband
ry, every meney.making interest,
in this our age Of money. 10 thor
oughly organized, and ever ready
for aggressive or defensive action,
as the occasion may require,
whether in legislative halls, in
boards Of direction, Or in the mar.
ket place.
Our farmers are tho most i'm.
portant working population Of tho
country and produce three.tonrths
OF it's productive wealth. Out Of
their toll and products are direct.
~ or indirectly obtained, most Of
tho taxes and yet thoy are at tho
mercy Of ail other interests. A
projected measure that would
transfer millions from the profits
Of agriculture into others hands
may bo resolved upon by half a
dozen wealthy gentlemen, Of ole
CANT enterprise, seated in " pri-
vate parlor or around q board of
direction, without exciting any
moro concern amour our farmers
than if the sui bjoct matter related
to China or japan.
The reason is our farming pop
ulation aro cut up into isolated
fragments, aud are beaten in de-
tail, in politics and in every thing
else. y
Such facts as have been adduced
show the Importance and nocessi-
ty Of organized societies Of farm
era, and like new order, tho Put.
rona Of Husbandry, with frequent
meetings and wide extended fra
ternity, for collecting and dissem-
mating valuable information, and
for mutual instruction and dcfencc.
Unlike tho rural peasantry Of Eu-
,rope, our farmers own the, land
they cultivate. They arc cupital.
ists, freeholders, citizcns and I'll,
lers Of the state and nation. They
arc, o" ought to be, mon Of thought,
reading and useful knowledgo, as
we'll as Of manual work.
All other interests are armod
and constantly on u war footing.
Among tho powerful nations of
Europe, whom ono arms, nll must
arm. So it is in all communities
Whom ovory interest il cared for,
when overy interest is prepared
for defence, all are cared for
Then thore is justice, equity,
peace and prosperity for all.
