RAINi Rain !! Rain !! 1t is now, at the time
of this writing, a fortnight lacking one day,
since the dry weather was succeeded by rain,
and during the whole of that time not day
has passed without one or more showers, OF
more or less copiousness. The roads are mud
and slop, and the corn felds, which are for
ward, too wet for the cultivator and hoe
are. being overrun with weeds, much as last
year. Wheat is suffering also, by being beat
ten down, and the better and heavier, the great

ing better, and the meadows and pastures are
giving forth much promise as well az present
fruition Feed is going into cheese, and the
product of our factories will be better than ex'

CAPITAL AND LABOR.
From the N. Y. World.

RfOTh the ". T. hOTtu.
II the truth in relation to capital were
better known, there would be less idle talk of
the hostility between capital and labor. The
capital of the entire human species is scarcely
equal to two years production of labor. The
total value of property in the United States
in 1860 was 10000 millions of dollars. The
total annual production was 5000 millions of
dollars. These are the census figures. They
are probably underestimated in production,
and oVerestimated in property.
The capital of the country consists princi-
pally in land, rm-houses, agricultural i'm
plements, cattle, and seed corn; in city dwell
ings, furniture, factory buildings, machinery,
and stocks of merchandise; in railroads,
canals, ships, and money. All these, with
the exception of land, are extremely perish
able The land itself, unless kept in con
stant culture, soon depreoiates and becomes
alnoHt Valueless.
Farm-houses, unless frequently repaired
soon decay; nine-tenths of the farm-houseS
in the United States are estimated to be less
than five years old. Agricultural implements
need to be renewed with great frequency;
seed corn is consumed every year; while the
average life Of brood cattle of all kinds, in
cluding within this generic name sheep and
hogs, can at best be few years. Ii is the

one suggests any other candidate than Gen Grant for
election i'll 1872" is that the question has not yet been
brought up proper form and open for discussion
But in advance OF this discussion will remind you OF
few facts in relation To the matter. 1t is well known
that there many Republicans who opposed, on
principle, to the reelection Of any President while in
Office. This hostility would have been manifest at
the time Of the reelection Of President Lincoln but for
the consideration that he had great undertaking on
hand, which he should be allowed TO finish The plea of
expedency may now longer be made. and ughtful
