will hereafter be the distribution OF domestic
products, rather than the vast imports from
which our merchant princes have derived their
wealth In politics we have virtually settled
those questions which have occupied our lead
ing men since the foundation of the Republic.
The equality of civil right has been established
fully and forever and the policy OF Protection
to Home Industry is assured IN the MINDS OF
our people beyond serious disturbance. We
return, then, to the statement that the dcvel-
opment of our natural sources of wealth-of
which Agriculture is the first-must be the
princpal concern Of this and the next genera
ton. And who can doubt that, in these untried
fields of achievement, our best minds viii find
sufficient opportunities and rcwardsY
Now. while it is true that new methods and
new transformations and Improvements,
organization and cO0perati0n-will Tighten bur
dens and make labor effective, yet is 1T also
true that the successful farmer must work with
his own hands; and it is better for US, as men,
that it should be so. Manual labor is a direct,
| positive good to us, physically and spiritually
! We have been declared a nation of dyspeptcs
-sallow, lean, and nervous; We are to owe
our carnal salvation to the hard outdoor work
necessarily incident to the task before US.
| Comfort and culture, wealth and hOnOrs, will
follow, with certainty and in full measure, be-
| yond even the dreams Of tho care-worn seek
ers in the over-crowded market-place or the
narrow paths of the professions. The grandest
opportunities Humanity ever had are now
Offering in this our land to the thoroughly
! qualified tiller of the soil. And it Is to our
| future farmers we must look for that nobler
growth of manhood which we have faith that
| America will yet produce.

Iron Ore, taken from the Black Hills, near
the highest level of the Union Pacific Railroad,
has been smcltcd ut Omaha, and found of
excellent quality, yielding eighty per cent. of
superior metal. Three hills of the Ore lie near
the Railroad and, as the material IS at once
most accessible and practically inexhaus-
tible, the Union Pacific propose to use it in
their smelling and casting shops, whose fore
man Ga Mr.. FawcctD is said TO have invented
a new smelling furnace, which dispcnses with
the fan or blower, and (says The Omaha
UTdH,)
The furnace ia about % feet high and feet In
circumference, tapcring towards the top. About half
way up Is circular supply pipe, that introduces
into the interior of the He about dozen Jets Of steam
This steam creates q vacuum that draws the blast
through the live coal below with tremendous velocity
securing by such simple the intense heat neces-
sary for smelling the metal The furnace has been
running now two weeks and Is great success
that several more constructed, and the old fur
naces entirely abandoned.
This new process will reduce the cost Of the smelling
process to such extent that effort will be made to
utilize the invention by smelling the ore OF the Black
Hills the spot. With iron ore coal and wood in album
dance and a largely decreased cost OF maintaining the
furnaces there earthly why the pig iron Of
the Black Hills cannot be made compete with the iron
imported into this State from the smelling furnaces in

The next great undertaking before the
American people is the subjugation and de-
veOpment of the National Domain We have
TO subdue, that we may inherit, our generous
portion of the earth. We are coming to the
close of our first century, and, having attained
such majority, may enter upon and possess
our estate. The wealth of the nation lies in
the land, and we must dig it out. Nor can
we delegate the task to the mainly ignorant
laborers coming to us from other lands: we
need to give to it our own intelligence and
our own muscle-and we have shown that we
are not the people to shirk such necessity.
Indeed, we are already making competent
begnning-Opening lines of transportation,
making permanent peace with the Indians,
learning the methods of organized colonial
tion-and may call ourselves fairly ready to
go to work. Agriculture, then, is to be our
main business in years to come We are to
be a nation of farmers; and it is worth while
to consider what sort of farmers we are likely
to turn out.
Man makes circumstances: circumstances
make men. Accepting this antithesis, we
should look for new types of character under
the new conditions obtaining in this country,
where, Also the requirements of good order
are the only limit to freedom of development.
We now afford some illustration of the aphor-
ism: but the reaction of circumstances on
men being the work of generations, we are
yet too young to exhibit its effects in any
notable instance-the conventional Yankee
being an unreal creature, fast fading into ira
dition. Still, we already give evidences of hui
man power, peculiarly American, promising
good results We are outgrowing the wisdom
of the world, and are destined to disprove
those maxims that sum up the limits of human
experience. That old saw, "When Adam
delycd and Eve span, where was then the
gentlemani" involves, negatively, the asser-
ton that manual labor is incompatible with
grace and refinement. The refutation of this
idea, heretofore dominant in civil ization,
we have now accomplished and we shall
not be long in dissipating it entirely. All
there is of worth in the gentler experiences of
life shall be free to the delving Adam of the
| New World. With increasing facilities of COM
munication. perfected means of education, and
the larger returns to labor, secured by intelli-
gence--the man who "mows and hoes and holds
"tbe plowr will command the best the world has
TO give of culture and social consideration.
More than this, we believe that no prize
coveted by the higher ambitions shall be be-
yond his reach. We trust that war is, with us,
almost an impossible contingency; the occupa-
ton of the soldier with its brilliant triumphs,
il, happily, gone. Our commerce has probably
reached its hight. and the bulk Of trade

of this great public highway by purchased

procure tho passage of Classification act
which virtually placed them beyond the reach
of the stockholders. enabling them TO hold the

of tho stockholders should seek TO displace

g. We charge that they have spent large
amounts of the stockholders money in pur-
chasing an Opora-Iiouse and gorgeously fitting
up Offices, &c. therein for their personal use,
and that they have somehow diverted the funds
of the road to the maintenance of Improbable
spcculations in opera-dancers, steamboat lines,
gold-cOrners, six-hOrse turnoutS, &C., &c.
o. We charge that, while the Erie stock
holders have thus been kept out of their own
property and the income thereof, the managers
have been rolling in wealth and Ostenta-
tiousy squandoring money right and lett,
while amassing wealth which they have had
no honest means of acquiring.

encc, and their ill-gOtten money, have pre-
vented and still prevent, the repeal OF the
Infamous Classification act and such other
measures as honest legislators and honest

The rumOr that the neutrality of AlsaCo and
Lorraine is a condition of a peace already
signed between France and Germany, doubt
less grows ont Of the intimatiOn, before
thrown out, that Germany would urge the
making of another neutral State out of Savoy.
The demand for the reclamation of
the Rhine Provinces is too strong in
Germany to DO ignored at Versailles
the repeated declarations of Bismarck
from the very first have emphasized their
cesSiOn rs a condition Of peace-as indeed,
guarantee of safety-and the demand will not
be lightly abandoned. The newly-suggeStod
condition in regard to Savoy may not have
been positively insisted upon, but that it has
been urged by Bismarck is evident from the
fact that it has been considered by the French
Government II is probable that Bismarck
hopes further to restrict France, as he would
dangerous neigbbOr, by fencing her in on all
sides with neutral States, to the preservation
of whose liberties and peace all Europe wonld
be pledged and it is barely possible that Ger
many might consent to the neutrality OF
Aisace and Lorraine, with this view, and that
it Is this concession to French pride with
which Bismarck was to aStOnish the nations.
The rumor is possibly, but not probably true
