THE FARMERS MOVEMENT.

The statement contained in the third
annual report of the secretary Of the
Farmers Association, which lately
convened at indianapolis, that there
are ten thousand such associations in
the country, with an aggregate men,
bership of 100000 farmers, indicates
that "the movement" about which we
hear so much is not an Insignificant
sham, but an earnest and powerful
realty. The agricultural interests oil
this country have long been made to
suffer and languish by the hostile
legislation of Congress which has
for forty years been under the bane-
full influence of New England. The
politicians have afforded no relief.
They have compelled the farmers to
pay nearly all the taxes for the Gov
ernment, and an additional bonus has
been wrung from them for the peck
cts of Eastern manufacturers who
have no bowels of compassion. The
national Legislature has drawn almost
every dollar oftaxation in one way and
another from the emaciated bosom
Of agriculture. The farmers have had
to pay for all the wars and meet all
the deficits of the treasury robbers.
The farmers, if properly organized,
can control the country, and it is
time they were doing it. They have
suffered long enough. They have re.
manned quiet and inactive long
enough. They have slept on pillows
filed with thorns. If they will now
rise up and beat down the despotism
which has oppressed and impov'
erished them, they will not only
achieve great victory for themselves
but they will save the liberties o
their country from the spoiler. l
they are to pay to the debts of th'
country, they ought to have . con
trolling voice in contracting them
If they are to pay for government
they ought to manage it.

4 Curious Reversal Of Trade.

A recent Iowa paper rcbukes the peo-
pie Of that State sharply for importing from
the seaboard States for consumption articles
that they raise in Iowa bat do not utilize,
Thus, while Iowa produces enormous guam
titles Of corn. the people of that state consume
in winter and spring canned corn raised and
canned in the seaboard States, and the same
remark applies to strawberries, raspberries,
tomatoes, and almost all the vegetables to
which the canning process has been applied.
This is pointed illustration Of the neglect Of
home manufactures in the West, in places
where free trade teachings have inspired the
people with an idoIatry for agriculture and
coniempt for manufactures. The same far
mers who in Iowa complain bitterly that they
have to sell their corn for fifteen cents BUSH
el, could get good prices for it if they were to
club together and establish manufactures in
their villages End towns. No douM the en-
terpr.e of the Western people will soon rem
cdy this and they will gradually learn to sup
ply themselves with many things they now
obtain from the East. 1t is good sign when

it to pick it right up, and is very much
surprised to find that he hasn't got it.
Then he approaches it more cautiously,
puts his hand over it, and then comes
down noiselessly till he gets every finger
misses it. He looks at it for moment
before making another effort, and fills
up the interval with few remarks.
Tho third attempt is sort OF semi-circle
described with great deal OF sagacity,
but is o failure. Other remarks follow.
Then he makes succession of dives,
and slops the water over his clothes, and
drenches the carpet, and catches hold OF
the soap several times. and lets 60 of it
again, and Screams at the top OF his
voice; and, finally, in perfect despair.
sits down on the floor and actually howl.
