There seems to be u movement on foot
to effect harmonious action between the

and several other Democratic papers are ia

"The Democratic party has always been the
foe of special privileges. 1t is, therefore, an
antimonopoly party. 1t necessarily agrees
with the farmers in the position they have
taken in regard to the tariffs, railroads, &c.
There is no reason why the two organizations
should not cooperate, or rather, why the
Democrats should not back up the farmers
in their movement. In doing so they make
no sacrifice of the essential principles of their
organization. On the contrary they will give
them success What is wanted is the attain
ment of certain ends The manner or form
in which it is done, provided it is not oppo-
sed to public policy, is unimporlant. Every
effort, therefore, should be made to effect
cordial union between the Democrats and the
farmers Oranges at the coming election.
The Harrisburg Patriot, an old and excel
lent Democratic journal, says of the political
situation of the country: at is clear that if
the Republican party is TO be speedily over
thrown, if the rings which now control politi-
cal affairs at Washington are soon to be bro
ken up, the Democratic party must not only
preserve its organization, but must declare
its principles without equivocation, and with
such distinctness that the people cannot mis-
understand them, but comprehend them
without effort. Selfgovernmentf for the peo-
pie of the States, opposition to every form of
monopoly and the overthrow of the corrupt
rings which have made the Government of
our country byword and reproach among
the nations of the earth, will make plat
form broad enough to afford standing room
for all who are willing TO enlist under Tie
banner of reform Republicans who sincere
ly desire a change in the administration oi
the Government will not halt to inquire
whether that platform is labeled Democrat
ic, or Liberal or whether it has any name
at all. They will initiate the noble example
of the Old Line Wings of 1854 and go where
principle leads, well aware that should they
find themselves in the Democratic camp
they have been but lately in company much
less reputable"

Meteorological Record.

FALLsToS, Hartford Co., Md, July, LIST 1878.
Mr.. EDITOR: II seems to me that a monthly
statement of temperature, rainfall and other
meteorological facts that may come under my
notice, would be interesting to your readers.
The June just past has been dry month
only for the unusually wet May that preceded
it, the damage from drouth would have been
very great. With the exception of last August,
more rain fell in May than in any month during
the last three years6.47 inches; this great fall,
too, was poured down so moderately that al.
most all of it was absorbed by the soil.
April gave us n little less than the average
fall of rain-299 inches the past June has
been dry beyond precedent only LOS inches of
rain having fallen during The month, and of this
small amount 066 or nearly two-thirds of oil
fell in the three last days. June, 1884, gave 3.59
inches; June, 1872, gave 2.42 inches. These
months were counted unusually dry months
July of last year, remarkably dry month, gave
1.66 inches. From the experience of the last
three years 1t would seem that we cannot any
longer rely on the natural fall of rain for irriga-

THE CRoPs.-The wheat crop in Hartford
this year, is an exceptionally good one-bet-
ter, perhaps, in the lower than in the upper
portions of the county; but good enough
everywhere to make farmers thankful. In
nearly 8 600 miles of railroad travel recently
we have nowhere seen as good wheat as here
in Hartford.
The hay crop will not fulfil the eypecta-
tons formed of it in the beginning of the sea-
son. The early rains started the grass with
wonderful rapidity; but its growth was
checked by drought
Oats will be short, the dry weather having
also materially affected it, Early Potatoes
and garden vegetables generally have suffer-
ed extremely for want of rain
