Farm Labor.

The complaint at the high price OF farm
labor is not quite reasonable for the same
law that governs the price of other things
must govern in this also Why should not
the laborer on the farm demand as much pay
as others who have no greater skill and abii-
ity2 They are free to seek the highest price
and the value Of their labor will as in other
things, fix the price very nearly The demand
and supply will produce an equilibrium In
Europe and the eastern countries the great
excess of agricultural aborers has made their
labor cheap, And it has been a theory with
the political economists Of Europe that there
must be cheap food, in order TO the highest
prosperity of the public--that is, the highest
prosperity Of the other classes than the tillcr
Of the land. 1t is expected there that the
agricultural laborers will live cheaply that
the higher classes may thrive. In this coun-
try we hold-at least in theory-to other no.
tions Agricultural labor claims remu.
neraton equal with other labor 1t would
be inconsistent with the spirit Of our social
AID political institutions to have Il large class
in our midst who are willing to subsist in
the cheapest manner and be ever separated
by their poverty, from the other classes The
laborer in this country is free to enter into
any industry which he is qualified for, and i
is proper that he should 90 into that which
gives him the best reward. Agriculture doe
not pay its labor so we'll as other industrie
which require only the same degree OF abii
ty therefore, intelligent and capable younl
men are drawn away from the farm. AnC
the cheapest kind of labor also is in constau
demand for building railroads and cities an,
factories The prosperous enterprises arr
able to outbd the moderate offers Of agricul
ture. And the only reason Just now, VIII,
the effect Of this scarcity Of farm lator i
not seen in the increased price of farm pro
duets, is that there is such an immense pro
ducton from the unexhausted soil Of tn
West, where the almost spontaneous fruits o
the earth come with but little labor Tn
time must come when the law of supply an,
demand will adjust the relation between farm
products and farm labor If other hranche
of industry can afford to pay higher wage
for labor. they will also be able to pay highe
prices for farm products. At present it i,
the farmers interest TO dispense with unpro
ductive labor, or rather to apply his labor 3,
that it shall be productive by the use of ma
chinery and especially by adapting the crop
to the soil, and by raising costly crops onll
on land fitted to great production. We vast,
our labor immensely in raising inferior
crops. What we want under present circum
Stances is a kind of farming that can aiiorJ
to pay as good wages as other business re-
curing equal ablity.-N Reed, IN Conptrl

Il prefer to have it warm, then with a brush
such as painters have and tin basin, have

do not clasp my whole hand harshly round
the teat, for by so doing the cracks will open
and hurt the COW. If the COW is inclined to

found it better to pat them on their shoulders
and card their checks, speaking gently to
them than to use all the goadsucks one can
get hold Of 1t takes little longer to milk
in this way, as milk in long quart milk

good to keep the teats moist while milking,
and to be applied before the dish Of -four is

Of fussing with COWS, but what other animal
can we any better afford to fuss over than
the COW? We are deriving some benefit from
the COW every day in the year on the farm,
When she does not give milk she is breeding,
and her manure is on the farm aud not wasted
on the highways as is that Of oxen and horses.

The imputation of the argus that Con-

but lest the few innocent minded people that
read the Argus fully believing it, might inter.
pref our silence into tacit admission. we tako
this occasion to say that Mr.. Lynch never in

Like all other men engrossed in business. Mr..
Lynch leaves editors to attend to their own
matters-that is, so far as the PRESS is con-
cerned.

The subject of the late riot does not yet seem
to be forgotten in New York. Wednesday
night at meeting of the Gideon Loyal Lodge
of Orangemen a resolution was adopted
thanking Governor Hoffman, the mill
itary and police for the protection afforded du-
ring the parade last Wednesday.
At an Indignation meeting of Irish citizens
of the 9th ward last night Stephen j. Meany,
of the Irish American, in speech, said:
"How can we avenge the blood Of men which
has been shed? How are we to secure proper
protection in this county for men OF our own
race. Shall Orangemen and Know Nothing
ism rule this city? Never! neverD Never"
said the speaker, ''shall the scenes OF Wednes-
day last be permitted again. When he saw
the dead on Wednesday his blood curdied in
his soul and he prayed to God that he would
live to see the day when the act would be
avenged. (Cheers.) 1t was hard to see armed
ruffians striking down innocent men and wo-
men for the crime of looking upon foolish Or
angemen. Women had been made widows and
children orphans for the caprice of one man in
humane order OF the Mayors "a voice, Hang
him on lamp post" many, "no! nor my
friends, pledge myself that every drop of blood
shed on that day shall be legally avenged if
there be law in New York. Never again shall
such an occurrence be permitted in New York.
INCNCL dSdin oudH VI SdhiACu run tuS uo allOW-
ed to insult Irish citizens who have fought to
uphold the constitution of the United States
Cheers The Legislature must prohibit such
professions in the future. 1t caunot do less
than the English House of Commons which
prohibit Orange professions in Ireland. When
was an Orangeman found fighting the battles
of the Union. Hibernians and Catholics kept
alOof from the parade that day. If they had
not done SO there would be different story to
tell. If law does not vindicate them may say
something else to you another time. Governor
Hoffman should never again receive the votes
of Irlshmen, never! neverp'
Gov. Hoffman has issued general order
thanking the military for their services du-
ring the riot. 1t is said that prospectus will
soon be issued in Williamsburgh to obtain the
names of native-born Americans to organize
an order to be called the United Sons of Amer,

including the gentleman from Bangor who
entered his individual protest against self
qualification, had our "new departure candi
date" and esteemed fellow citizen in secret
conference, not long since, in the stronsholds
of that country. The conference was made
up of some of the bitterest opponents of the
''new departure"-some that were called
Bourbons and by the less dignified term Of

ones of the Convention.
Those gentlemen are not only slough old

attend the funerals in their own party as mas
tiers OF the ceremonies. As they supported
Mr.. Kimball in the Convention, and as he
claims to have put his foot into the "peoples'
movement" of last July, they ought not now
to commit him to Mr.. Emery's platform Sc.

ton of the United States was made the su-
