Secretary Robeson's speech ut Philadelphia
Concluded.


This is what the great Republican party
has done in the past. Judge ye whether it
has been true in spirit and conduct to the
great ideas of the constitution, and whether
It can be trusted with power in the future.
To the great Republican party of the coun-
try--born in philanthropy, nourished by
patriotism, and baptised by fire-is the
country and the world indebted for what
ever of political good that has been realized
during the last ten years nay, since the
hour of its Inauguration. If your country
is still the home of united and free peo-
pie, it is the Republican party which you
have to thank for that blessing.
There is one great central truth in gov
ernment which the Republican party has
established, which is worth to the world
more than language can express. 1t has il
lustrated to the world and established for
ever the great truth necessary to the sue
cess of the Christian political idea, viz, that
freedom and strength are compatible quali-
ties.
The Democratic party has been organ
lied in opposition to all this. They still
declare and parade in every platform and
declaration the principles and ideas from
which the rebellion took its origin. They
still nourish the root from which the bitter

DOES 1T PAY TO BE Sick 1.-THE Medical
and Surgical Reporter estimates the cost to
| the people of the United States for medi-
cal services at one hundred millions of do.-
lars, and adds twenty-five millions of dol
lars for the quack medicines swallowed.
"Let the people," it says, "study these
figures awhile, and then reflect that proba-
bly, one-half, or certainly large fraction
of this expense, is incurred by deliberate
infraction of the laws of health that, If
they tippled less, smoked less, overworked
less, were less FAST and less indulgent,
they would save some thirty or forty mil
lions Of dollars year"
If the cost of the loss of time, loss Of
happiness, loss of ability to do and dare
was added to the above, there would be ne
counting the expense of sickness. And
then add to this the expense of indulgences
that make us sick What slate would
hold the figures +? The truth is, sickness
is the most expensive nuisance on the face
of the globe. There may be Instances
where it makes people better, but general
ly it makes people selfish, sad, misanthro-
pic, nervous, mean, and miserable. The
best way to make ourselves happy and
good is to keep ourselves well. Then we
are apt to be sweet, and kind, and whole
some. Moral reform societies and tract Sc
cieties might learn lesson from this fact,
and do more good with less money than
they are now doing.

Restoration of Old Lands,

The Petersburg h,der has the following
sensible remarks upon the renewal O
worn-out soils:
As a general thing, our lands have been
oppressed and worked very much after the
manner of the poor horse. A few nub-
bins day and scanty supply of fodder
have been deemed sufficient to keep hin,
going; and one or two hundred pounds of
hosphate-grudgingl bestowed at that
has been relied on for the production Of
two or three crops.
The course we would recommend as be-
ing effsctual for making poor land rich in
the shortest time is something like this !:
In the first place lime the land at the rate
of fifty bushels to the acre, spreading in
the spring on field to be plowed in the
fall, or in the fall to be plowed in the
spring. Lime requires exposure to the air
for several months in order to re-absorb
the carbonic acid expelled by burning. If
plowed in the fall we may suppose there
is vegetable matter enough in the land on
which it can act. Then lay it down in
the wheat with $50 lbs. of phosphate
500 lbs. would be better--to the acre.
i1aiiy III ono bpIiuS oceu " ClOFef. AZ
fair estimation the crop of wheat may be
put down at twenty bushels to the acre.
Let the land stand in clover one year,
taking off the first growth for hay, and but
lightly grazing during the summer; or
which would perhaps be still better, let the
clover stand two years, to be followed with
corn, and then wheat at the beginning al
ways bearing in mind that tho more fire.
quent the grain crops, the more need there
is for repeated dressings of manure. But
if the clover is fed on the land in the form
of hay, the farm yard will furnish an abun-
dant supply Of fertilzing material for the
field during the next routine Of crops.
And when we say a field, we do not mean |
one of our old-fashioned Virginia fields,
which very few farmers have the |
means to improve at this rate but rather
what they call field at the North. Say !
from five to ten acres a surface which |
almost any farmer might under take to i'm
prove.

LET the Democratic party, through its
leaders North and South, of all organiza-
tions, proclaim that it was necessary for
the success of the Democracy that these
murders and outrages stop, and that the
rights Of citizens must be respected or they
could not choose a Democratic President in
1872, and from that hour, in my belief,
profound peace and quiet would reign in
every county in the Southern States, inso-
much that the hated and despised school
marin might teach undisturbed negro
children from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande--yea, even how to read the Scrip
lures
A United States Senator recently assert
ed in debate, and tho remark went unchal-
lenged, that the Ku-Klux operations South
were part of matured plan for the sub
version of the Republican party at the
South, and the controlment of its entire
electoral vote in tho interests of the Dem
ooratic party in 1872. We know nothing
of the evidence on which this remark was
based, but we do know that the statement
met with no denial. 1t cannot be doubted
that Democratic journals North defend, in
an indirect manner, the operations of tho
Ku-Klux. They belittle the reports made.
denounce the negroes and "carpet- baggers"
as the real authors of outrages, deny the
right of the government to coerce Ku-
Klux, and oppose the passage of laws for
their suppression. That such things en-
courage masked assassins in their work of
murder cannot be readily denied.

STRANGE combinations resulting from
strikes are rather startingy illustrated 10
the lace trade of Nottingham, England.
There exists unions Of the employers as
we'll as of the men, and both appear to be
amply supplied with funds. One manu-
facturer has dispute with his men result
ing in strike. The employers union
pays the manufacturer the average earn
ing of each machine standing still, and the
workmens' union pays each workman full
wages as long as he is on a strike-which
certainly don't look very promising for an
early adjustment. But thus each day this
labor struggle assumes new forms, and
leads to fresh complications, and no one
sees the precise remedy.
