The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1873-09-04

J is exported, bringing a return to ths
farmer of about seven per cent. on his
investment, exclusive of rent and sub.
sstence. This,to be sure, does not eGua
the exceptional profits in some Otner
kinds of business, but on the other
hand, It Is not subject to the risks
which always attend upon employ
ments Of capital when great returns
are sometimes realized. I believe the
farmers of Ohio are eontented and
happy / trust the future has In store
for them increased rewards for their
labor, abundant returns for their in
vestments, multiplied comforts and
unexampled prosperity.
VALUE OF THE FARMING INTEREST.
The present cash value of the farms
of Ohio is set down st 81, ,054, ,465, ,226
the value Of farming implements at
81, 5,692, ,TST; the wages paid, including
the value Of board, amounts to Sl6, 1885,
rs; the annual value of all farming
productions is Sl6S, ,256, ,9O7 orchard
products, S, ,s4S, ,679; product of market
gardens, 81 ,2S9, 272; the number of
acres improved is IA ,469, ,I33; woodland
6,SSS, ,572 acres; unimprOyed, other
than woodland, only 359, ,7l2 acres.
1t will be seen that almost our en-
tire State, except the necessary wood
land, is now under cultivation. As
before remarked, il will, ere many
years, be necessary to largely Increase
production, in order to supply the
home demand. The prospect fer our
farmers is hopeful and cheering.
MATTERS ABOUT WHICH ALL PARTIES
AGREE.
There are certain matters about
which all parties seem tO agree. 1t is
agreed that there ought to be rigid
economy in the administration OF AZ
fairs; that taxes ought to be reduced
as much as the current expenses OF
the government, the interest account,
and q reasonable reduction of the pub
lie debt will permit; that there should
be honesty and efficiency in every de-
partment; that our public lands should
be reserved for actual settlers.
BACK SALARY.
And there is no difference Of opin-
ion as TO the character of that legisla-
ton, by which Congressman not only
increased their future com mDensatiOn
one haif, but also provided for back
pay at the same rate. Both DsmO-
erat and Republican platforms con-
denim this aetiOn in unmistRk able
terms. There is but one sentimentre-
garding it among the people. A re-
peal of the law is demanded. Now,
my friends, it is sometimes fair to
hold that party responsible for legisla-
ton which has a majority in the leg
islative body. Sometimes this is unr
fair, as viii endeavor to show. Sup
pose there were two hundred MEM
bers Of Congress, l0l Republicans and
80 Democrats. End two Republicans
voted with the 80 Democrats to secure
the passage 9f n bill Would the Re
publican party then Le responsible
Yet they had in the case supposed y
majority OF the members. fletus now
consider for moment the vote by
which the back salary measure be-
eame law.
