FARMERS, PAY YOUR DEBTS

From the Milwaukee Journal Of Commerce.
We have every year had occasion
to urge farmers in the fall to come
forward as honest, business men and
pay to the country store keeper the
bills he had promised to pay in the
fall. The obligation to pay a store
bill will be held sacred by every hon
orable farmer-and to pay 1t euhe'e 1t
Is due. Time is a vital part Of every
contract. The farmer is doubtless
often thoughtless on this point, and
sometimes he is ignorant. He has no
business to be. He should look at
the facts as they are. He should
recognize his own Importance in the
general economy. 1t seems a little
thing for one farmer to ask his trades
man to extend him little time on a
bill of $50 or 500. But when any
considerable proportion Of the six
million farmers of the United States
demand such favor-let the farm
er calculate the consequences to the
trade of the country! For any indi-
vidual to contri butte his part towards
a general disaster Of this nature is
wicked and mean. It is not bit less
dishonorable or less criminal than the
present attempt Of the operators to
get the wheat crop out of the north
west at less than it's cost to the pro-
ducers.
The farmer has right to hold his
oson wheat. He has right to re-
strict his purchases, and to refuse
to go in debt. For any consequent
arrangement to the calculations of
merchants, the wheat gamblers, who
have crowded down the market in
order to feather their own nests, are
directly and solely responsible. But
Squire Corn Crib has no right what
ever to make Mr.. Atlantic A. carry
him through the fall season on an &C.
count which he has promised to set
tie by the first of September. He has
no right to let the country merchant
60 to the wall because spectators in
Milwaukee and Liverpool have put
down the price Of wheat. That is
robbery. 1t is crime.

TRANSFORMING TREES.

Autumn transplanted trees have
the advantage of those planted in the
spring, in the better settling of the
earth about the roots, so that they are
ready for an early start. But there
are two things to look to, or they will
be likely to be worse off than spring
set trees. The wind often whips
them about, and makes hole around
the stem, greatly to their injury. In
such cases dig the earth away from
them with = spade down to the roots,
and replace good mellow earth (not
hard lumpO about them, pressing it
we'll about the tree with the foot. The
other difficulty is the hardening of the
surface of earth into crust. This must
be dug up and made mellow, if you
would have the trees do we'll through
the summer. Trees set out in spring
often have the advantage of fall trans
planted trees, because the earth is
left mellow after setting, instead of
hardened into a stiff crust by winter
and spring rains. But if the care is
taken here pointed out, the fall-set
trees will do the best.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM,
Adopted at Minneapolis, Sept. 10th, 1877

We, misrepresentation Of the Republican
party of Minnesota, in State Convention as
sembled, do hereby adopt and declare the
following:
Resolved, That while reaffirming the prin-
ciples and"renewing the pledges enunciated
and given by the Republican party in its
last State and National Conventions, and
recognizing the ability and general fidelity
which have mnrked both State and nation
al administrations in the discharge of the
public trusts respectively committed to
them, we can point with especial pride to
the firm maintenance of our foreign rela-
tons upon the basis of justice and right,
and such as has secured respect and friend
ship abroad and peace and confidence at
home the judicious enforcement of all
laws having for their object the protection
of all classes of our citizens both North and
South in their just, civil and political
rights, and the whole country against the
perils of instruction and new rebellion,
the preservation of the public faith and the
constant improvement Of the public credit :;
the reduction of the public debt and the
consequent removal of the burdens of tax
alton; the preservation of a sound currency
against any ruinous initiation inspired by
speculative interests which may be hailed
as a sure guarantee of the earliest possible
return to specie payment consistent with
the just rights of both the debtor and credi-
tor classes of our people; and above all
the constant vigilance manifested in hunt
ing out and exposing to public condemna-
ton delinquent officials and corruption in
Office wherever and whenever found, re-
gardless of supposed party interests and
party relations, and the correction of all
abuses as fast as discovered its prompt re-
Spouse to the popular demand by the repeal
Of the Congressional salary bill and other
obnoxious legislation, and its readiness to
.grapple with new issues growing out of the
relations of corporate power and produc-
tive industry by the Inauguration Of meas-
ures looking to the protection Of the latter
against all unjust Entertainments Of the for
mer, and by the opening up of new and
cheaper channels of communication by wa
ter between the granaries of the West and
the markets of the East, as sure guarantees
that the grand old party that saved the
country is still true to. the principles that
gave it birth, in hearty sympathy with the
popular will able and willing to admins
ter the government in the interests Of an
enlightened economy and just regard to
the public welfare, and is worthy the conf
dence and support of the people. a4f
Resolued, That we heartily approve of the
action Of Governor Davis in relation to the
prosecution of the persons charged by the
report of the Senate committee with de.
fraudipg the school fund.

HARVESTING BUCKWHEAT.

The New York Tribune says
Buckwheat may be cut with reaper,
and raked up in good sized punches
and the heads pressed together. The
punches or sheaves thus formed are
set up upon their butts and left in the
field until the grain is dry enough to
thrash. 1t is never stacked, but is
thrashed as it is brought from the
field. No grain or straw will heat
more readily than buckwheat, and af-
ter threshing the grain should be
cleaned up from the chaf at once and
stored upon the floor of an airy loft
until it is dry. 1t may then be
placed in the bin.
I -Ex-Mayor Joseph Medill writes
to the Chicago Tribune from Ger
many as follows: drunkenness is
so rare and infrequent that it may be
said not to exist. I have travelled
thousands of miles through Germany
in various directions, visiting nearly
all the chief cities, and have made
'diligent inquiry Of American Con-
suls and other well-informed persons,
and received but one answer every
where, viz: No drunkenness among
the Germans public sentiment would
not tolerate it; the habits Of the
country are all against it. The rea-
son of this freedom from inebriation
lis the total absence Of whisky, and
the substitution of the milder beer.
Whisky is the hog that possesses the
spirit Of the raging devil, and the
cultivation of whose intimate &C.
quaintance makes so many beasts and
loafers of Irishmen and Americans in
the United States"

mond will have the offect Of increasing tho

WASHINGTON, D. G., Fet. 2.-Agrooablo to
promise, Mr. Morton continued his remarks on
the Louisiana caae In tho Senate to-day or to speak
moro corrcctly,.ho elaborated lis speech Of Fri
day laat. Contrary to expectation, tho galleries
wero not crowded or oven vol filed, but this
was probnbly duo moro to the inclemout weather
than lack Of interest; nevertheless, 1t seemed
to have depressing effect upon tho Senator
from Indiana, rho did not speak with bis acous-
toned cnergy. Senators, ltko actors, aro affected
moro or less by their audiences.
CARPENTER nEr1nEs,
During tho two days occupied by Mr. Car
peuter in hia assault On Mr.. Morton's Louiaiana
policy, tllo latter gentleman remained In Ills
chair and give his brother Senator hearing.
This fact, If not good taste, 1t might bo OK
poctod would havo kept 11r. Carpenter in his
place during h1r. Morton's reply, which WAS
short, hut it did not. Tho light comedian be-
took himself to tile smokng-room, aud thereby
spoiled the effect of several Of Mr. h1orton's
beat hits.
Mr. Morton compared the McEnory fellows with
Modoc Indians, and graphically dcsclibcd the
slaughter of colorod men III the streets OF Now
Orleans and other places III Louisiana but it
wns painfully evident that he was une0ual to
the task OF answering clio hard arguments OF
the Wisconsin Senator.
