The San Francisco Bulletin doubts
whether a million dollars will cover all the
losses Of horses, cattle and sheep in Cali
fornia, the past winter. Tho losses Of cat
tie are estimated at twenty per cent, of
sheep somewhat less-the results from a
pasture famine, long and cold storms and a
want Of shelter aud care. The stock men
are generally opposed to the innovation of
protecting their stock in the winter, saying
there are not more than two years in ten
when they need it, bat, if they begin, they
will always have TO do il, while the cattle
become less hardy and more dependent on
shelter. Many stock raisers, however, are

The farmers, mechanics, and other la
boring men, as we'll as other citizens Of IL
linois, who believe, as declared by the
State Farmers Association, at Decatur,
on the 18th day of December, 1873, that
through the departure from the primary
principles of our government, as promul.
gated by its founders, and through the i'm
prudent exercise Of the highest prer0ga-
tive of the freeman, the right of suffrage,
we, the farmers of Illinois, as we'll as 9TH
er industrial classes, have, by their past
action, acquiesced in a system Of class leg
lslation which makes the great majority
| slavishly subservicnt to a minority: that
this condition is clearly traceable TIC the
| fostering protection which has been &C.
corded by our legislative bodies, both state
and national, to the financial, mechanical
manufacturing, and transporting interests
enabling them to accumulate an undue
proportion Of the national wealth. and en-
cOuraging them in the exercise OF the cor
