On the land question Mr.. Gladstone de-

it desirable for agriculturist to own the
lands they cultivated. 1t would be long
stride Of opinion for representative Of
the English aristoeracy to maintain the
contrary ground, which Americans Of all
shades of opinion are agreed on, that the
tillers of the soil should own the soil. He
thought it best and most economical for
the farmers to pay rent. He may not live
to bee it; but English statesman will in
another generation give us this selfish idea
and favor a policy Of government which
will tend to subdivision of estates. Some
of the foremost intellec of Great Britain

years following, the population was eight

Tne recent speech Of Nv. Gladstone to

valuable information and at the same
time shows the largeness and liberality of
his views. He explains the motives which

In bringing forward and carrying through
the highly important measure for the dis

Church in Ireland. He takes the high
ground that he was not actuatcd An mucl,

Brute VS.. Manual Labor,

Mr. EDITOR; In these hard times it ap-
pears to me that it is not only prudent and
wise to economiZe our hard-l armed money,
but also our muscle, so as to get the best re-
suits therefrom. Having occasion last spring
to work n road, negh6or suggested to me
the propriety of borrowing and using his
road scraper. With three men and this scra-
per found l could do more work in day
than eight hands with the usual appliances
OF pillow and shovcls, could possibly do, be-
sides leaving the water drains in much better
shape.
Very few farmers, Mr.. Editor, possess
scraper, and therefore think it would be
matter of economy and to the advantage of
the community if our County Commissioners
wolld provide six or eight good iron scra-
pers for each district and place them under
the charge of the general supervisors, to be
used only in mending the roads. l do not
believe the same amount of taxpayers mon
ey could be mere pyofitably expended, and
these scrapers would pay for themselves four
times in one season. hope, Mr. Editor, the
County Commissioners will take the view of
il present, a view in which any intelligent
man who has ever worked a road win readi.
