DECREAsED IMSrTGRATIoS.

Official returns show that the aggre-
gate of immigration into the United
States for nine months of this year
was l03,283 less than for the same
months last year. The German and
British governments have both taken
extraordinary pains to check emigra-
ton to this country, and the cheapness
of wheat and bread in those nations,
has favored their policy. According
to the London Mark Lane Express, no
crop raised in England in 1874 has
paid so poorly as wheat. This grain is
grown more cheaply on the Continent
than ever before, which will tend to m
crease population in the European hive.
The Germans and French are begin
ming to pay attention to scientific agri-
cultural education-a branch of useful
knowledge, little thought of by Ameri-
cans, whether farmers or not. Quin-
lillian, being asked what boy should
study at school, answered: "The bust
ness he is to follow through life" Gin
cinnatus was a practical farmer; but
that fact did not destroy the confidence
of patrician Senate in his ability to
save Rome IN the crisis of her greatest
peril.
Wheat has become as much an arti-
Gle of manufacture as broadcloth; many
thousand of farmers in France and
Germany knowIthe chemicalingredients
of the former, and how to combine
them to the best advantage. This
information creates home demand IN
the best governed nations for agricul-
tural operatives at prices never before
paid for their labor, while breadstuffs
are cheaper to feed them and their
families. If it were not for the cost
of maintaining large armies there,
poor men might emigrate from this
country to Europe and make money
by the operation. In few years the
most economical and wisest govern
nents will draw most people of sense
lnder their jurisdiction. German
schools are already educating more
han a thousand students from the
United States. Our agricultural |
chools are miserable failures. l

WHEN we reproaehed our friend Of
the Louisville CoIrier-JouRal, several
weeks ago, for giving way to despair
and coneeding the. elections IN the
Northern States to the Radicals, its
editor responded:
1.-THE Nes1 York World says we are
poorly informed as to Northern senti-
ment.' Well, we will leave the ides of
November to tell which is the better
informed, the World or ourselves"
We have preserved that paragraph
for the benefit Of our contempory. What

OK no other theory than that whom
the gods would destroy, they first make
mad, can We explain the continued in
famies of Radicalism in louisiana, and
and this fresh start of Federal usurpa-
ton at Memphis. In Massachusetts, it
has for years been just the thing to vote
mill operatives by the thousand for the
Radical ticket under threat of instant
discharge. We have indeed heard Of
United States Navy Yards being guilty
of the same thing on various and SUM-
dry occasions. We do not mention
these incidents as precedents, but
merely to show how abominably sec
tional and one-sided is the administra-
ton of the law under Radical rule. A
Memphis merchant threatens to dis
charge ss1ngle porter, where the Massa-
chusetts mill-owner threatens his
hundreds. The latter goes unmolested,
while the former is dragged before
Federal Commissioner and compelled
to give bond for his appearance on
trial. Ingeniously cruel as the En-
forcement act is, it does not authorize
such outrages, and superfcious Office
holders, dressed In little brief author
ity, may yet learn the fact to their
cost The discharging of employees
falls exclusively under the State laws
for enforcing contracts. By no legal
sophistry can it be twisted into a dis
tinction on account of color, when the
charge itself is distinction on account
Of politics. If Radicalism were per-
mitted to 60 on with its social levelism,
it would soon punish men and women
for selecting their companions on the
score of intelligence, worth, or re-
lioious afinities.
