THE New York Tribune continues to be
the champion of protection, and in late is
sue sharply criticises the recent speech OF
David A. Wells before the Golden Club el
England. The following point, taken from
the article, is certainly well put:
The Free Traders, under the lead OF Mr..
Wells. have for long time past been trying
to convince the American laborer that the
.snnrcbasing power of his wages is so fee
HE that he would be much better off in Eu-
rome. The purchasing power of the wages
of auy salaried person is seldom as great as
the recipient of the wages wishes it TO be,
vet labor in America is not ill-paid Half the
niece ssary expenses of every laborer who has
a family are incurred for food. In tn Old
World the proportion is considerably greater
than one half. In this lies the secret of that
steady and swelling tide of immigration
which still rolls in on our shores unche cked
by the modern Canute. The English or
German mechanic can afford to consume ten
pounds of butter, beef, sugar, eggs, tea and
coffee n this country for one that would be
within his reach at home. Knowing this to
be supreme truth, what does he care for
the information chat the wages of years
work will buy less pig iron, perfumery, broad
cloth, Cashmere shawls, and fancy soap III
Illinois than in Manchester? He does not
not subsist on pig iron and fancy soap, put
on food; and he constantly sees on his table
articles of food which in England are well
nigh bapished from the laborers kitchen.

Movement so long as that movement does
nothing practical The newspapers and
politicians declare that the organization
of Farmers party is an impossibility,
and that the farmers can not and will

State the Democratic party has properly
and consistently laid down in its grave

done the same, and now if the farmers

The capture of Yosemite.

We were mining on the Fresno and
Auguo Frio, then new diggins, and every
daV or two some of our horses were mis-
sing. We could follow their trail toward
the mountains Of the Mercede as far as
the Big Flats, above where Mariposa
now stands, and thence were forced to
return to camp we'll assured that the
red skins were ieasting Tiotously upon
our equine companions in the almost inn
penetrable IasLness of the mountains.
At last, harrassed beyond endurance by
the savages, we formed a company to fol-
low them and route 9r ezterminate them.
Well armed we left the camp, followed
the trail of our stolen horses and their
captors, aud camped the first night out
on little branch Of the Chowchilla.
Next morning we were on the trail lead
ing far up the mountains. Step By step
ana track by track, through the long,
weary day, We followed, and the setting
sun shoue on us on the summit overlook
ing the valley of the Yosemite.
We stood spell bound, and In silence
broken only by irrepressible ejacuiations
of wonder and ave, gazing on the sub
lime grandeur Of that magnificent sOli'
tude until the long, deep shadows Of the
twilight deepenel into night, and an au-
dible " see therei" restored Us to a con"
ciousness Of cur purpose. We looked

last Saturday and hence the meeting of
farmers called fer ard appointed did not
take place, owing to the fact that Special

1t is generally agreed that tomorrow
week, 23d instant, be the day upon
which to organize the Farmers Agricul~
turaI Society Of Hardoman county, and
those who are disposed to assist in the
work should not fail to come to Bolivar
on that day, and then there VIII be GO

the subject their attention for they too

can at least encourage the movement by
their presence, and we feel safe in saying
that their friendship and encouragement
will meet with favor Let Us ell take

and then Bolivar Will be made to feel
the benefit arising from it. Let US en-

HENDERSON COUNTY D. K-Last SatuF-
day Maj. w J. Sykes spoke at Henderson
Station to a large and enthusiastic crowd,
composed Of citizens of McNairy, Madi-
son and Henderson county, in the interE
est of the Henderson Station and Paris
and the Memphis and Knoxville railroads.
Prom gentlemen who had the pleasure of
hearing him on this occasion We learn
that of all his many good speeches in
favor Of these roads that this one was
the best, and so strong and convincing
that his hearers, one and all, returned to
their respective homes determined to ex'
tend aid aud comfort to the enterprises.
The Major has just closed a thorough
canvass Of Henderson and is confident
that the people Of that county will vote
$4,000 to the II. s. az p road, and so,
OOO co the NJ Il K Road The Quarterly
Court at its session in October next will
Eubmit proposition to the citizens to this
effect and VIC confidently believe that
they will vote it almost to n man. Hon
reter Pearson is now not only in favor
Of the county tax but has already made
two speeches in its behalf. This is al
most enough to convince us here, for i
is a true saying often INDUCED in-"a
loes Peter Pearson so goes Henderson
rounty" Hon. b. NJ Tillman, of Nc
Marry, also spoke at some length, ant
urged the Importance Of the speedy com
Pletion of the roads, and advised the pee
PIE to work manrully in the cause. II
Nj. Folk, Of our own county was ais
present at the meeting, and was called OIL
for speech, and responded with bis US
nal promptness and was attentively list
ened to by the eager crowd, which, W
are assured, was composed Of gantleme
Of ,alth and influence.

Crops, Railroads, Compliments, etc,
HI. Editor
By request l will furnish few items
for your paper. 1 am glad to inform
your readers that the cotton crop is prom
ising to turn out more than an average
yield.
Corn will turn out much better than
many low spirited farmers expected. And
on account of the prospect of a good
mast, which will winter the stock hogs,
and probably fatten the pork along the
river and creeks, think there will be
enough corn made to carry US to the
completion of another crop.
1t is a shame that so many farmers
neglected to put in a large pea crop.
The few yea crops We have seen, are
good. Let every one who has a crop Of
peas be sure to gather and save as large
quantity of seed as possible.
The spirit of education is on the in
crease, but good teachers are few, and in
many parts Of the county not to be found.
If there is a surplus of teachers any
where think they would do well to en-
| igrate to this country.
If Mr. McQween will transport US q
| few, we will swap him a carload of his
E. Tennessee farmers for them n i.
We want none but good ones.
In cur rowing we find that quite q
number of our fellow citizens are talking
Of the Importance Of building railroads
to permeate the whole country; SO they
may get to market their surplus produce.
And if the people will take this matter
into their own heads and hands it will
be accomplished.
l would suggest that a spiral n G.
road, like a great ana oonda, be construct
ed in this county, with its head at Boil
var, and its tail at Henderson Station, Oh
some other suitable place. Would it no
be good thing7 What do you say
Mr.. Editor, let me congratulate you OF
the improvement of your paper And lei
me ask of your Ieaders to pay for it, an
work fer it, and thereby make a noble
heart glad So mote it be. Mo.

What the Farmers Are Doing

Those of our readers who are disposed
to doubt the rapidly accommodating
strength of the Oranges and the deter-
mination Of the farmers to rid tue halls
of logi. lation of corrupt representatives
will find in the following article a pretty
good size flea which may serve to re-
mind them of what Is going on if for
nothing else The Chicago Times says:
The farmers of Mclean comfy, Ill,
who have $500 Republican majority,
have taken it into their heads to throw
party overheard, and nominate ticket
of their own for county officers. The
farmers Of the county Of Dewitt have
done the same thing. Vo-day the farm
ers of Reaureau county, who have been
in the habit Of electins the regular tick.
cts by 200 to 400, hold convention
to nominate a candidate of their own.
| In few days or weeks the farmers OF
| Champaign, Whiteside, Livingstone,
| Knox and Union will put in nomination
/ candidates of their own This movement
| Is not confined to the counties we have
J named, nor to Republican counties.
/ 1t Is Just as strong in counties where
/ the Democratic party Is in the majority.
! The difference however, Is that in near
! " every case, the Democratic organiza-
ton has kicked the bucket in advance
and abandoned all purpose of holding
/ party conventions to nominate tickets
In The Republican counties, however,

CArITAL IDEA.-Mujor Sykes, in the
course Of his remarks at Henderson Sta
ton last Saturday said that the farmers
of Henderson county could SOW large
crops Of grain this fall and large quaeti-
ties Of corn next Spring, aud could de-
vote much OF their time and labor in
grading the proposed roads through their
county. In this way they could not only
get the roads but would make more money
than they are now doing planting cotton
and at the same time give their land time
TO rest and improve. By this means the
county of Henderson would be enriched
while building the Henderson Station
and Paris and the n. IL X Railroads.
The expression Of this idea brought down
the house"
