The several rates of increase or de-
crease for the two decades are as follows:

1t will be seen that none of these de-
nominations, except the Mormon and
Unitarian, maintain in the last census de-
cade the rate of increase shown in the
one prior. The falling off in the case of
the Methodists, the leading denomination
in point of numbers in the country, is
particularly great, as notable, in fact, as
the portentious growth of Mormonism.
The wealth of the leading denominations
cOmnares az follows.

It is a comforting deduction from the
census that, while we may not build as
many churches in proportion as we once
did, they are every way more costly and
respectable looking edifces. The plain
brick Ebenezer seems giving way to a
more ornate structure. The number of
churches in 1870 is not yet double the
number in 1850, but the value of church
property now is four times greater than
it was twenty years ago.
Coming to the subject of avocations,
the census treats us to some rare imagin-
ings. It's dry figures body forth before
us IL, 1885,, 172 men and women, boys and
girls, working away for dear life at every
imaginable occupation the country
through. Two thirds of the population
of the United States are drones, accord
ing to the census, for whom the other
third tolls. How it tolls can only be
seen in its bewildering completeness in
the serried columns of the census report;
but here and there fact-sometimes pa
thetic, sometimes enormous, but always
ggestive-appears even to the hasty
glance. One half of the entire working
population is engaged in agricultural pur-
suits, and of the 1855 agricultural Ia
borers, 373, 1872 are women, the brawny
helpmates of the Scandinavian settlers of
the Northwest, or the Southern negress
who has not yet laid down the shovel and
the hoe. Among other curious avoca-
tons we find forty, five female stock herd
ers chow savage calling none know

Tho young men specially trained by Mr..
Greeley have taken fresh heart In tho great
work OF reforming and regenerating the
country. The failure Of the Liberal Rcpub-
llcan movement something more than year
ago filed them with profound grief; their pa
triotlc enthusiasm was still further damp
eued at the non-succcss of the Allen. county
movement, and for short time they were
plunged into the darkest despair. The
young men have, however, recovered from
their extreme mental depression, and again
the syrcn voice Of the Tribune is heard gently
wooing the farmers Of the West, and assur-
ing them that In them, and In them alone, lies
the safety and salvation Of the country. The
Tribune Is in the main correct In Its estimate
Of the worth and influence OF the agricultural
classes. Nobody will even think Of
disputing its assertion that 1.-THE far
mcrs arc by far the most numerous indus
trial class In the United States;" that they
represent an enormous capital and an cnor'
nous annual production Of national wealth"
But the further assertion that rs "a class they
are scarcely At all represented In Congress,
and very meagrely in State Legislatures" Is
soplain and glaring falschood that the farm-
crs themselves will scout 1t rs absurd. There
arc not, TO be sure, many farmers In Con-
gress or the State Legislatures, but no class
Of our people has been bcttor or more faith
fully represented In these bodies than they
have boon, and no one appreciates that fact
more fully than the farmers themselves. Tc
prove the utter falsity of the 1Iftune's posi-
ton II Is only necessary to review the legis
lation Of the last twelve years. II was thu
farmers Of the West who compelled the Ma
tionnl Government TO aid railroad companies
by donations Of iandi to open up the ricl
and fertile West to civilization aud settle
ment; to bring them in more direct and I'm
mediate comm unication with the markets O
the East and OF the Old World, so that wheI
the Tribune declares that they have not bee
represented In Congress II only makes itse
ridiculous and betrays It's own ignorance
The motives Of the Tribune are sinister
the extreme. 1t does not care button abol
the farmers, and when 1t advises them to &
actively into politics; when 1t says TO u
grangers "don't keep out Of politics, but 9
In and cleanse them" 1t II simply endeavo
ing 10 use them to pull Its chestnuts out I
the Are. What the Tribune wants Is 10 bres
up the Republican party, and 1t Is willing
make any sacrifice, to stoop to any means
do IL. A year ago 1t hoped to do so throuG
the agency Of the Democracy. Then '
heard nothing about farmers rights. III

which IL expects to overturn the par
whose existence and prosperity Is the star

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES do not seem to
be very great success, at least in pecu-
mary point Of view. 1t Is q fact not gencr-
ally known that Ireland has larger number
Of these Institutions than any other country
In the world. There they are called model
schools" farming In theory and practice be-
ing taught In oil Of them by the best instruc'
tors that can be found. OF the seventy-seven
schools twenty are solely under the direction
and supervision Of the Government. Recent
reports show that every one Of these, so far
from paying expenses, brings In heavy an
nual deficit. In this country the efforts 10
| establish and make agricultural schools self
sustaining has met with no better success.
That at Cornell University has proved to be
a failure, Before Congress gives away any
more of the public lands for this purpose II
would be well to consider these points and
await the result of the experiments that have
| already been made in this direction.

Colo MEL LEVIN WooLroRD. the Demo-
cratic nominee In Maryland for Comptroller,
declares iu his letter accepting the nomina-
don that GOT all the great interests Of the
State, that Of agriculture Is most paraiy zed
and Frustrated" We add that the same may
b. said Of every State wherein the old-fogy
Democracy have control, as they have In
Maryland. Mr.. Woolford continues, saying
that "as long rs the present discrimination
In favor Of special Industries and employ
meats arc kept up by tho Federal Govern
ment, so long the agricultural interests Of
the country must langulsh and suffer-" This
declaration Ia simply nonsense. The Federal
Government, as controlled or administered
by the Republican party, has ever discrimi'
nitcd In favor Of the agricultural interests
aud Mr.. Woolford, II he knows anything

lars have been expended by Republican Con
crosses for this purpose, and the tariff law,
show that wool, tobacco and other cspccia
products In which Maryland Il directly inter
csted, are protected az ainst tho competition
OF foreign staples Of the same kind. But Mr.
woolford leans towards free trade, and 1t

THE Lynchburg Republican, attempts to
evadc our charge OF cowardcc against the
friends Of Colonel Withcrs, the Conservative
nominee for Lieutenant Governor In Virginia
by declaring that his nomination "was sug-
yested by the adhcrcnts of General Kempcr,
not a. q. concession, but rs u tribute TO his
worth" There Is sad disregard of facts 10
this statement, which Is excusable, however,
on the suppositlon that the writer OF il Is
Ignorant Of the truth. We therefore explain
that Kcmper's nomination at the command
OF Bill Malone, emperor OF Virginia sham
Conservatism, so seriously discounted
Withers' friends that they threatened bolt
from the convention. No thoroughly posted
man, who was present at the time, can truth
fully deny this. 1t Is proven by tho utter
anccs Of wthers himself, who In accepting
the second nomination, announced that he
did so for the purpose Of preserving the unity
Of the Conservative party. Behind this de-
claration was a dcep-scatcd chagriu at the
discovery In Kcmpcr's nomination Of Ma
homes power In the convention. Withcrs
and his adhercnts were opposed to Malone;
hence their chagrin. But the cowardice dis
played by them when they allowed them
selves to be whipped Into the traces with the
lash Of race-prejudlce disclosed the trucking
spirit of low-bred sycophants, and an absence
OF manhood which astoulshed and Disguised
every honest witness Of II.

dcayoripg TO get back into the Republican
party. Ills term as United States Senator

now working so that he may be able TO Sc
cure n majority In the next Legislature favor
able TO his reelection. The Times warns
the Republicans Of New York that he is at

and vigilance to defeat his Vaccinations.
There Is no more cold, selfish or hcartless
politician In public life than Reuben Z. Fen
ton, and 1t will be a disgrace to the Repub-
lican party of New York II they allow him
to again msreprcscnt them In the Senate oil
the United Statos. Utterly without principle,
hollow, insinccrc and trcacherous, his treason
Of q year ago should be punished as II de-
serves to lie punished, viz, by demanding
him to private life hcnccforth and forever.
The Republican party has no need Of poll
ticians Of the Fcnton stripe. He did all he
could to Willy and destroy II. lie has been
already honored by II far more than he de-
serves, and 1t Is high time that he should give

tend for life time, or so long Us the people

In the opinion Of this gentleman the one
term cry was the great blunder Of the Gree
ley campaign, and had they succeeded we
should have reign Of political dcma-
gogucs." Mr.. McMastcr does not believe
that "a monarchy can be established
In this country" so that there lie, after all, q
CLEAN Of reason In his unreason. Dr.. Curry,
the editor Of the Christian Advocate, the
organ Of the, Methodists, Is amused At the
whole discussion, and docs not believe a
third term probable. Mr.. Sidney Howard
Gay, the managing editor Of the New York
Eoenin1 Post, believes that third term Is
possible only ''undcr the commotion Of some
great popular movement" while Ex-Spcaker
Galusha A. Grow declares that he has no love
for Gen. Grant, and "thinks the supposition
that he can be reelected absurd" So the fool
ish excitement goes on. Politicians and edl-
tors Of all shades Of opinion are made subscrv-
lent to the advertising schemes Of the Herald,
while Gen. Grant, tho object Of the fuss and
pothcr, TRANQUILITY sits in his cottage by the
sea, awaiting the commands Of his country
men, probably the least disturbed and most
