thereby hangs tale. He knows that
his interests, as capitalist, are more

honest administration, and where the
treasure is, there will the heart be

WE publish, on fourth page, the adj .
dress of the Cincinnati Convention. to
the people, and the. platform upon
which its candidates are placed. The
address, besides being strong bill of
indictment against Radicslism. en-
bodies many patriotic sentiments and
forcibIe appeal in behalf of unity for
the safety Of the Republic.
The platform, barring the canting
fanaticism that crops out of every
movement originatingwith every phase
of Radicalism, is such an one we can
commend for its couservatism--look-
ing, as it clearly does, to return of the
Government as nearly to its original
landmarks, as is compatible with the
demenicd condition of the northern
mind, and the dangerous usurpations
of power which have so far assumed
the forms of law as to require time
and wisdom for their ultimate reversal.
We shall not quarrel. however, with
the address, the PLATFORM or the nom
nees, prcfering to take them all, as they
are, to taking the fearful risk of a
purely Democratic nomination. The
election of Scnter, by combination,
killed off Stokes and his party, and we
feel assured that the election of Gree
ly, by a similar combination, will
smash Grant and his party. This is
our hope, and our programme, as AT
present advised--time may developo
the wisdom of some other policy.

THE Reunion and Reform Conven-
ton, held in Cincinnati, at the same
time with that of the Liberal Repub-
lican, seems to have played out, though
a strong effort was was made to keep
it alive by calling National Conven-
ton to make nominations. We hope
all such efforts to divide and demon
alize will prove equally futile.
-
WHAT will be the probable effect Of
a Democratic Convention? A strait
out nomination will ensure the cleo
ton of Grant, whilst its endorsement
Of the Cincinnati nominees may con-
duce to the same result, by casting obi
um upon the Liberal ticket as a rebel,
democratic trick under a Republican
guise. Then, as nomination will be
fatal, andan endorsement may be so
there ought to be no Convention and
the democratic masses left to vote rs
they please.

THE political atmosphere is in com
motion at the present time, in conse
quence of the nomination of Horace
Greedy and B. Gratz Brown for Pres
idcnt and Vice President by the Gin
cinnati Convention. OF course, we
could favor the election of no such
men under other and more favorable
auspices; but recognizing the fact that
the Government is purely sectional in
its character, and the South powerless,
under bayonet rule, to make its voice
effectively heard, we know no wiser
policy than to adopt the ticket offered
us, and, by a fusion of the opposition
elements, strive to obtain all the bcnc
fits that may accrue from n change of
administration.
Three tickets in the field will ensure
the reelection of Grant, as did the
same experiment, the election of Lin
coin. And since, as matters now stand
any change must be for the better, it is
wiser TO struggle for what may be
gained, with some degree of GER
tainty, than to ensure our ruin by a
hopeless contest for a greater good
If, by supporting this ticket, we can
secure the right of local, or State gov
eminent, the great obstacle to general
prosperity, and individual liberty will

other now before The country. tits the

Of wheat and its manufactures was S4,470,-
357. In 1864 the value Of the former was
077,25S, while that Of the latter was
$40,616,956.
Thequotations of the grain market Of
ither of the chief Atlantic seaports, made
from day to day through several months Of
the current year, represent the average
price of wheat during that period to be
about two and half times the average
price of corn, and we think careful equa-
ton of these averages affords higher
mean than two and half to one. Now
let us logically consider the economic ad-
vantage of corn, however prepared as an
article of food, with wheat. Numerous
experiments show that wheat possesses
about ninety-fve per cent. of nutritive
matter, and corn seventy-seven per cent.
A bushel Of corn IS therefore worth sew
enty-seven cents where bushel of wheat
is worth ninety-6ve cents, their prop
critics of nutriment alone considered. In
creasing the figures for convenience sake, it
will be seen that when the price of corn is
81 per bushel, that Of wheat is always at
least $50 per bushel; but the intrinsic
value of the two grains being in the proper.
ton of seventy-five to ninety-fye, and 81
being the price of corn, wheat is not really
worth in consumption more than $1.25. In
buying wheat, therefore, We obtain for any
given amount of money a! little less than
half the nutriment we obtain when we buy
corn. The reason Of this wide disparity in
the prices of corn and wheat is, of course,
determined by the supply and demand.
Wheat is not so readable s crop in this
country as corn, the latter being adapted to
climatic extremes, and occupies wider
range of latitude and elevation than any
other cereal. Transported by sea or laud
in its native State, under proper conditions,
corn can be shipped as safely IS wheat.
Its chespness and nutritive qualities should
commend It to more general use in the
Old World as the most reliable article of
aliment. Persistent efforts have been made
to introduce this cereal among the people
of the Northern and Central European
countries, but many of the inhabi-
tants of even the Western portions of Eu
rope are not even yet convinced that q pal
atable bread may be made from the -four
of maize; the inherent value of the cereal
has not yet been able to overcome the tastes
acquired for oatmeal, wheat bread and the
potato. If the people of Europe could be
instructed in the uses Of corn as the Amer
leans understand it, this cereal would soon
become the most important and most pro-
itable commodity of export, as it now is
the most important and the most profitable
product for home consumption.

or State TO show for the things consum-
ed? Isit too much to say these are ele-
ments in grain, cotton, tobacco and farm
stock, which our agricultural statistics fail
to resch2 As hard working tiIlers of the
ground, we have raised corn by the hun
dred million bushels and sold it for less
money than the raw material was worth
that forRed the crop. Now, is it not time
to study the intrinsic value of corn and
wheat bread, just before the things are or
ganized that MAKE corn and wheat? Bread
is almost indispensable to forty million peo-
pie in the United States. Where does it
come from? Is it earth? Is itAir? Is it
water, or partly composed of all these? Do
our common school books, or those used
in academies and colleges, tell Us how
much Of a soil is really consumed in
making an ordinary crop of corn, of
wheat, tobacco or cotton? Neither Con-
gress nor its Department of Agriculture
has advanced up to the consideration of
agriculture as physical or practical science.
Their statistics deal in land by the acre, in
crops by the pound and bushel; not in
facts that mark the part that earth, air and
water play respectively in feeding and
clothing mankind. What has Congress
ever done to give our numerous country
schools textbooks to teach all young bread
eaters how to transform air and water into
good bread to the best advantage?
One hundred million acres of impover-
ished old fields in the South bear witness to
the mistaken ideas and practices that pre-
vail in our present system of tillage and
husbandry.
Neither Congress with its insane, and In
sanity breeding politics, nor State and
county agricultural societies with Their
horse racing fairs, tell us how to change an
ltnhno1cn something into one seed Of corn,
or wheat, or cotton, in way to improve
the soil, and diminish labor in the future.
To deplete the soil, is to create q stern ne
cessity for more labor to produce 100 BUSH
els Of corn or wheat on that injured field
Nature resents this great wrong done to
our posterity, who must have food and
clothing from some land; good or bad. But
who cares for natures resentment? or for
the wants and necessities of their posterity?
The American intellect says by acts that
speaks louder than any words, ''Nature
msydo her worst; ain willing to cult
vate the earth, but not agricultural knowl-
edge" What association Of farmers,
or Of others, has fsirly planted
the seed Of rural science, and so cultivated
the crop as TO reap a harvest fve-fold
greater han the seed planted? So long as
the sovereign people and their Legislatures
refuse to cultivate any branch Of knowledge,
bow can it make substantial progress?
Agricultural learning anS science must
be earnestly studied aud taught. 1t never
can grow up spontaneously like sedge and
old field pine. Congress supports an expert
mental greenhouse for exotic plants; but
nothing whatever in farming to develop
new truths in agriculture. It is assumed
that farmers already know all that is worth
knowing about plant food, and increasing it
in TILED ground for future use.
