Danger to the Farmers's movement.

G. Z. Morrow, of the Western Farm :.
en-, has been talking at the Dane coun-
ty, Wis, Fair, upon the Farmers
Movement He very sensibly says,
that " the greatest danger to this move
ment is from within, not from without.
If it fail of doing good if this interest
in the question discussed, dies away,
leaving farmers in no better condition
than before, it will be because they
consented to be led either by narrow
minded, impracticable men, seeking
blindly good end through inadequate
means, or else by hypocritical, vicious
men, seeking only their own advance
ment. Something more than zeal is
needed in leader something besides
protestations of interest may be need
ed to prove sincerity. There are al
ready too many would-be-leaders,
bringing contempt on the cause they
profess to advocate, by their preten-
tious ignorance, their indiscriminatc
denunciation and their empty threats.
We need here, AZ in every discussion,
full and accurate information, careful
study of each question anxious only to
find the truth and willingness to
hear and do full justice to the other
side"

Is Farming Respectable :

1t is not the business, but the nen
engaged in it that makes it respectable
or otherwise We are apt to attrib-
ute responsibility to wealth, but such
is not the case, and such is not the
verdict OF the world. There is sort
OF alteration for the wealthy, but the
better and more sober Judgment uni
versally yields responsibility only to
the intelligent and virtuous. In those
communities where the farmers are
intelligent and enterprising. and by
neatness of their persons and proper
ty, and the adornment of their houses
and grounds show that they love and
and Appreciate their calling-they are
respectable. The cultivated in mind
and taste seek the society Of such per-
sons and envy their prosperity. The
sons and daughters ever turn with
pride to the farm of their youth, and
gladly return from the busy scenes Of
life to spend their most joyous holi-
days. 1t is the pride of the successful
politician, or retired millionaire that
he was reared on a farm, where his
bones were hardened and the honest
lessons of life were instillcd into his
very being. Farming is respectable
and honorable, and the world so ac-
knowledges it.
There is large moicty of those on
farms, who are ignorant and grovel-
ing, and would be in any calling or
profession. Success never attends
their efforts or labors, and never
should. Providence has made no mis-
take in this matter. He that early
stores his mind with useful knowledge
who uses his brains for the purpose
intended, and who goes into the great
world of enterprise with the determ-
nation to win by the application OF
the necessary intelligent industry, is
sure to reap both wealth and respect
ability. 1t is not the business OF
farming that creates the standard, but
the man. Farming is respectable.
There is enough about it to bring into
active use all the talent and energies
of the best intellect. The world,
whether of wealth or fashion does moi
frown upon the farmer, but only upon
the ignorant, the debased clown, and
all who do not respect themselves.

CATTLE.--The market was again dull
and lifeless; the sales reported being
few and unimportant. Shippers were
not doing anything in the way of pur-
chasing, and prices for shipping cattle
were nominal at the quotations pub
lished below. Eastern advices were of
a very unfavorabl tenor, and the
prospects for the future of the trade
are no brighter than for some weeks
past. A few sales of stock steers were
reported at $2.50@3 for medium to fair
droves. Texan cattle sold at $l.70@
2.37ha, and native butchers stock at
S2.25@3.70; closing dull.
HoGs.-The receipts were moderate
ly large, and the supply on sale Gn-
GLIDING the number left over from
Saturday, must have been nearly 49,.
600 hogs. Buyers were backward in
taking hold, only few packers pur.
chashing, while the shipping inquiry
was only fair. Prices were weak and
easy at q decline of about 1Oc on the
figures current Saturday. Heavy pack
ing grades sold at $3.4O@ 3.65 and extra
heavy at $3.7O@3.S0. Light grades sold
at $4,000, chiefly at $3.75@3.SO. The

ST. LOUIS LIVE STOCK MARKET.


GAsr.s-Continue to arrive 1fbelsl-
ly, especially the lower grades of Tex.
as and Cherokee stock, and prices have
rather favored the buying interest, par
ticularly for the lower grades, the sup.
plies Of which have been comparative.
ly large, and rather increasing. A
quiet feeling exists In the market here
for good grades of native shipping
beeves, owing to the less favorable adj.
vices from Eastern markets, and this,
together with limited supplies, has pre-.
vented but little, II any, movement In
good native shipping stock in this di.
fection of late.
The following quotations are as cor
rect as the general condition of the
market will admit of making:
Choice native blood steers, averaging
] 300 to 1000 lbs, $4,000. Prime ma
tive blood, second class, averaging L.
100 to 400 lbs $4.O0@5.OO. Good third
grade native blood, averaging 1850 to
], 800 lbs, $3,75@4,25. Good heavy fat
oxen, small boned and smooth, $3@3,5O.
Coarse bony oxen of all weights (fat)
$2.50@3.O0 Choice cows and heifers,
averaging 900 to l,l0O lbs $3@350.-
Good cows and heifers, averaging $50
to 1000 lbs, $2.50@3. Common cows
and heifers, lean $l.50@20.
HoGs.-There was obviously consid-
cradle improvement both in the gener-
al demand and movement in the hog
department of trade, yesterday, both
on local and shippers account. Prices
were no higher, and apparently at
little lower range of values, with
liberal movement, at nearly tho follow
ing range: For fair to extra grades
$3.50@3.75; bulk $500.
SHEEP.-The demand for sheep has
been steady and mainly Of local
character, and prices have been with
out noticeable change, at prices rang

FREJCDIcE.-We are astonishei at the
amount Of prejudice exhibited against or city
by portion Of the .itizs ai OF tue State. From
the tone Of some OF the papers one might infer
that tile citizens Of Wilmington were anxious
to euaet laws that would prove detlimen-
tai to tue interests Of the great majority Of
The people Of the Slate-that the citizens of
Kent and Sussex arc more enlightened or
more Eonesl, aai better qualified for the posi-
ton OF Legislators The prejudice is as un-
wise as ii Is unjust. The citizens Of Whining
ton are jas rs anxious to promote the general
welfare Of the State as are those OF Kent and
Sussex, and are equally worthy Of confidence
and respeci. wilmlngtonians feel that their
interest, are Identified with the. State and In
case Of Increased representation they would look
as much to tLs development Of the resources
OF Sussex, as to tho promotion of the interests
Of their own city. There are few indeed who
believe In the wisdom of selfish policy, and
they regret the shortsghtedness and selfish
ness of those who are SO suspicious as to de-
cline 10 do them Justice and In the name of
Democracy tranple under foo. the sacred
rights of others. We say again that the preju-
dices manifested are unjust TO our city, and
those who entertain Them should yet rid Of
hsu as speedily as possible.
