50. ORR INDUSTRIAL NEEDS Tha,
which looms up the most conspicuous. and
stands marked Id boldcst outline. 4, the
need or a rti'ro13 This is. the first essen
tial to the industrial development Of our
county. Our vast water power practically
neglected, presents 10 attractions for the
iuyc.titure Of capital nor can we hope for
any new strides in manufactures. OF for
the Introduction Of new industries while
our spotted lines" compete with the iron
horse" Such a competition is too match
less. to be ridiculous. Nor can our Agri-
culture prosper without home markets,
nor can there be home markets. without
home industries.
50 long as we are without that prime ne
ces-ity-a railway--so long must we en-
dure the pains and pangs Of our chronic
endorsements.
The next industrial need is a REFoRMA-
TORY AGRICULTURE. At the present, our
agriculture seems to lay becalmed" be-
tween the grain-growing trade-winds of
the past, and the hay producing trade-winds
OF the future; or in slow transition betwlxt
an agriculture destroyed and an agriculture
restored. The period of sluggish inaction,
is really needed healthful state OF repose.
1t must run its course" to reach a RENEE
dy and to dispel old illusions
Guided By the discernible landmarks in
the future. our intelligent farmers will
steer a course however the winds blow
or waves churn." which leads to the pro-
ductioll and supply of those articles. for
which our soils are best fitted. and where
in there can be the least competitors. The
law of markets is the only law which adj
mits of no exception. That law shows, that
the least competition comes from animal
products; nor is there any prospect OF a
keen competition in the Great West for the
four products of butter, cheese. eggs and
mutton. In the production of these, and
at remuneratiye prices. our farmers can
set at defiance the rest of mankind.
Another neei is LABOR SAVING APPLI-
ANGELS. The idea that farm cant be prof
itably worked with hired help is firmly
rooted. The wages which our mills. ship
wards. quarries. vessels, and kindred indus
tries can afford, are too INFLATED" for the
farmers. While farms worked by muscu-
lar labor have So much of apparent drudg-
cry, that wage-iahorers instinctiyely shun
it.
No reform cab be OF greater utility, than
such one, as shall give use to these in
Engagements labor-saving implements, for
economizlng labor, thereby rendering it
more productive, and by reducing the cost
of production, increasing the net profit.
Labor saving machinery is the great pres
ent need our farmers. to elevate their pur-
suit, from degrading physical toll. to one
of dignity, in the social scale.

Another need Is some incentive TO mar
ness our numerous waterfalls TO factory

gines OF labor, to construct raw materials
into the multiplied forms of finished prod-

The Democrat learns that the mem
bers of the York County Bar contemplate
the erection of a monument in the cemetery
in Alfred in memory OF the iiog. John
Holmes. for u long time its eminert and
distinguished member, and for many years
a Representative and Senator in Congress.
in which latter position he filled wide
space in our Congressional annals. Mr..
Holmes died in Thomaston in lS43. but
the spot where he was buried cannot now
be Unidentified. 1t is therefore fitting and
proper that the bar Of which he was so
long a member and which he did so much
to elevate and distinguish. should erect a
monument to his memory in the town and
county where he won and achieved his
highest honors and where repose the re-
mains of his wife and ch ildren.
