The Earmers' Movement.


The farmers cannot. be at enmity
with the manufacturers of the country,
who, with their employees and depend
ents, take the larger portion OF their
products: but are directly interested
in having industries of all kinds null
tiply and increase on every hand. The
more encouragement there is given to
manufactures the more they increase
in number, and, as o necessary result,
the cheaper the goods they make and
the more consumers there are of bread
stuffs. The number of manufacturing
establishments in the country about
doubled in the ten years from 1850 to
1870 under protection, which was ten
times the increase in the preceding
Free Trade decade.
If the farmers wish to stop all fur
ther increase of food consumers, and
indefinitely augment the number of
food producers, by paralSzing manu-
featuring industries, let them by all
means constitute their Oranges into
grand Free Trade propaganda. Do
any of them fondly imagine that If the
duties on iron and steel were removed
the railroads would carry their grain at
lower rates? 1t is delnsion. The
principal railroad managers have
themselves cmphatically favored re-
tanning these duties for the express
purpose of keeping the price down by
building up an extensive manufacture
of those indispensable commodities in
this country. But il iron and steel
were cheaper, this would not necessi-
tate nor probably induce reduction
of freights SO long as the existing rail-
roads are constantly overtaxed with
the business offering, in other words,
so long as the supply of transpcrta-
ton facilities is unequal to the demand.
The New York Herald advises the
Democratic party to hitch the Oranges
| to the tail of their party, assuming
| that the Oranges will readily endorse
Free Trade, and clamor for it as the
one thing needful for them. But the
Democratic party is not only commit
| ted to a repeal of protection, which
would complete the discontinue of the
Western farmers by destroying their
| best market, but has always been a
| fierce enemy to internal improvements,
such as the very extension of inland
water communications which the West
now most of all needs, and which
| President Grant earnestly recommend
| ed in his last annual message.

JOHN STUART MEL.

John Stuart Mill, one Of Englands
most eminent men, died at Avignon
France, to-day.
He was of Scotch parentage, being
the son of the Hon. James Mill, who
removed from Scotland to London,
where lie became editor of the Literary
journal, and published in il his history
Of British India, in 1918. His know
ledge Of his subject shown in this
work, made him First Assistant Exam
iner Of Indian Correspondence, and
finally placed him at the head of the
Examiners Office, which he held until
his death. He was the author also Of
various other works, and died in June
1886.
His son, John Stuart Mill, was born
in London May Goth 1906. In his boy
hood he resided for sometime in France
and became quite proficient in the
French language, and made the ac-
quaintance of many distinguished men
of letters and politics. In 1928, at the
age of seventeen, he entered the Tx
aminor's Office with his father. For
thirty.three years he continued in the
Examiners Office, chiefly occupied in
the department named Political. He
finally rose to the position of head Of
the Office, as his father had done before
him.
He was profuse periodical writer
and the author of many very popular
and remarkably sound works upon
human freedom and political economy
From 1885 to 1S40 he was associated
with Sir w. Molesworth, in the pro-
prietorship Of the London d Westmi,a-
ster Rev,cv, of which Mill was, during
the same time, editor.
He was man of great originality
and clearness; was broad hnmani-
tartan in his views, bold ihAheir anun-
and faithfully honest to the
people. As Statesman and
public writer his fame has not been
confined to his own nationality, but
has gone abroad and been well rccogniz-
I'd throughout all civilized countries.
The hand upon the dial of British
Reform and Progress has been turned
forward greatly through, the efforts Of
John Stuart Mill.

The worst feature in the manage
ment of railroads is selling the right to
peddle prize packages of candy and
stationery on board the passenger
trains. The vendors of these goods
make good deal of money, which is
ordinarily taken from the pockets OF
the poor and ignorant. Sometimes
the prizes are of money, but ordinarily
they consist of brass jewelry, such as
can be bought for about dollar BUSH
ell. Sometimes fifty cent pocket pieces
are extracted from prize packages.
which look like gold to the eve Of an
ignorant foreigner, but which are real
ly made of brass. The Legislature of
New York has recently passeda a law
against this nefarious traffic, and there
should be enactments against it in all
the States. In an investigation before
the New York Legislature 1t came out
that the men who put up these pack
ages place private mark on those that
contain money or other valua-
bles, so that the train boy will know
how to play them out to the best ad-
vantage. Often trade is made with
some one in the car to take package,
and to pay for it il it contains money,
in which case he is to show tito the
passengers. When trade of this sort
is made, prize is always found, which
insures quite salc.-Irdirte Farmer

rRAxsPLANTING IN THE NImGr.

A gentleman anxious OF ascertain
ing the effect of transplanting at night
instead of by day, made an experiment,
with the following result:
He transplanted ten cherry trees
while in bloom, commencing at 4 o.
clock in the afterno0n,. planting one
each hour until 2 o'clock in the morn
ing. Those transplanted during the
daylight shed their blossoms, produc-
ing little or no fruit, while those trans
planted in the dark maintained their
condition fully. He did the same with
ten dwarf trees, after the fruit was one
third grown. Those transplanted dur
ing the night perfected their crop, and
showed no injury from having been
removed. With each of these trees he
removed some earth with the roots.
The incident is fully vouchcd for; and
if a few more similar experiments
produce like result, it will be strong
argument to horticulturists, TO do such
W ork at night.
