CROP SAVING.

Our farmers are favored with more
propitious weather for saving their
crops aud storing them away for winter
than they have had for cultivating and
and gathering them In. In this connec-
ton y word may not bs out If place on
the subject Of taking precautions now,
IN season, against losses by the haps
and chances Of the approaching winter.
IL invariably occurs that more or less Of
hard-esrned value is destroyed every
winter 10y being caught 10y fros,s or
storms. The hay and potato crops are
two of our staples The amount Of po-
tatoes frozen or roitcd 10y insufficient
covering and shelter. and Of hay dam
aged by exposure to the rains and mists,
constitute II heavy per cent. per annnm
OH the aggregate product.
These pleasant days of the Indian
Summer, are the times when every
farmer wishes hes might multiply HIM
self TO a ten-Inan poser-so many and
so much are the things that press upon
his attention, and crowd bis hands and
brain. so little has been the weather
this Summer favorable Tor burning and
clearing up land. that all that kind of
work impcriously claims attention now.
Yet. in his eagerness to push outward
his eonquests over the fields Of his little
wilderness empire. the farmer should
not neglect the more prudent task Of
securing for good the little material
gains already made. The crops which
arc not sure 10 40 OFF before winter
acts IN should be laid away secure from
damp and frost. aud all the vicissitudes
of field or flood In that case the saw
ing 10 the farmer in anxiety and WORT
Inent If mind is even of greater conse-
qusnce than the saving Of value itself.
When the grain is threshed and the
hay snugly baled. aud both stored away
in the barn. aud that proof against the
nists aud the winds. and the vegetable
and fruit crops likewise are slowed or
buried away so securely as to be sure TO

and fresh as when laid away. tho inde-
pendent farmer can ohncklc IN the face
Of the storms, and sleep careless Of the

may be will belong to the voters who make IL
plain that the alternative is reform or death.
Ohio set the Republican party back half
a year; it made Republicans believe that
they could win without unloading Grantism.
New-York restored the balance; the Repub-
licans who refused to vote or voted the Demo-
cratic ticket in this State, took the only modo
to get "reform within the party" New
Hampshire was victory for the rings, In Ell
feet; it caused managers to believe that, with
Belknap overheard, the ship was suiii-
ciently lightened. Connecticut corrected that
mistake. The men who nominated Robinson
did WELL but the Republicans who dld not
vote for him also did well. Hence we have
seen an increase of "reform within the
party" since that election. There is only
enc way to mako party managers improve,
and that is to beat them until they do right.
"Spare the rod, and spoil the child" That
the corrected youth has no good opinion OF

TILE MLASES SMI1HS COWS.

The cows of the Misses Smith of Glastonbury,
Conn, have been sold again. They are Alder
news, small but serviceable. Last week the
ruthless tax-c0lectOr came and levied on the
three "milky mothers.n Two of them the
Misses Smith bid in third seems to have
been carried off by some outsider. So there
was not absolute and complete desolation in
tho barnyard of the Misses Smith. In addl-
ton TO this. certain bank stocks of these firm
ladies have lately been sold for taxes. The
Misses Smith arc determined. They will pay
no taxes until they are permitted TO vote.
Cows and bank stock are as nothing IN COM
parison with this inestimable privilege OF the
ballot.
We are perfectly free to say that wo
admire the pluck of the Misses Smith.
1t is true that obstinate women are by
no means rare IN this wilderness OF
world but real martyrs, true to their con-
yictions, even TO the loss of cows and bank
stock, are not 30 common. Unfortunately,
it is also true that these heroines are to some
extent tho victims of fallacy. The male va
rlcty of the human species pays taxes without
representation on its property always until 1t
is out of its homage, and not unfrequently af-
terwaid. The Misses Smith forget that i'll
case like theirs, it is the property which pays
the tax and not the owner of it. III New
York man owns lands in Massachusetts, he must
settle with the tax-collectors of Massachusetts,
albeit he has no representative i'll the General
Court of that State. Whether the ladies
OF Connecticut vote or not, the State must look
after their cows, protecting them from all Rob
Roys and other raiders and also protecting the
edfce in which they are housed from the mid
night incendlary When the State taxes the
cows, it is for taking care of them. Constables
arc appointed, Justices of the Peace are com
missioned, and jais arc built for the sake of
defend the right and title of the Misses Smith
to their pretty Attorneys. They are asked to
Day a moderate sum for this service, and they
peremptorily refuse every well then," says
the State, 81 will take the cows" legal
ycndue follows, and the Misses Smith buy
in the animals. In this way they do really
pay the taxes, but they have the sweet salts
faction of having their own way, pleasure
which il said TO be promotiye of longevity. So
we suppose that the Misses Smiths cows will
continue to be sold for many years to come.
The theory of taxation is that property,
whether OF male OF female ownership, must
pay. Frequently taxes are assessed upon
land OF chattels the precise ownership of which
is unknown. What tho collector wants If the
money He doesn't care q penny who pays 1t.
Suppose the Misses Smith should take it into
their heads TO commit theft Would it be
sufficient answer to the indictment that they
were not represented IN the Legislature which
passed the Law against larceny

CONTR and LURES.

Contraction causes these failures" many
exclaim. During the first quarter of 1876
eve have seen rapid contraction and $500
failures; cause and effect" Such reasoning
is very common and seductive, but it is also
very false. There came a frost last Fall. An
ticipating it, prudent gardeners housed val
liable plants. The frost killed a great many
weeds. Did the protection of the plants kill
the weedsf The surrender of bank circulation
and the failure of weak firms are both results;
one does not cause the other any more than
the hosting of umbrellas in a wet day causes
people who have none to get wet. The cause
of both phenomena is that it rains. We are
having spell of financial wet weather, and
the people who can hoist umbrellas by con-
tracing their outstanding obligations are glad
to do so. 1t does not follow that they cause
the caamities of those who cannot protect
themselves, and get financially wet. COntrac-
ton of loans does sometimes appear the
immediate cause of failure, but people do not
refuse to loan merely because banks surrender
their circulation. On the contrary, after the
