Still we bless Thy holy name.

RYAN at Wichita.

That was an interesting and impress
sivc picture which Congressman Ryan
drew in his Wichita address--pub-
lished in the Commonwealth yester-
day-of the wonderful development
of southwestern Kansas, along the line
of the old Spanish trail. The fact
seem hardly credible, and yet we know
they might have been considerably en-
largcd and still kept within the truth.
The picture is one well worth study
ing, not only for what it shows in the
way of assured results, but also for
the certain promise it gives of great
er things yet to be achieved.
Mr. Ryan's remarks on the subject
of agriculture proper were sensible
and to the point, as were his remarks
upon the labor problem and he touch
ed upon matter of vital interest when
he referred to the fact that our failure
to guard and promote national mari
time commerce has virtually lost us
the foreign trade which, if we had it,
would speedily solve all our industrial
difficulties. While not committing
himself to the policy of substituting
steamship lines, he alluded significant
~ 10 tsit idCb tlliG Otilti Couutiits uaNO
shut us out of the foreign markets by
doing, as he alleges, that very thing.
He spoke strongly, also, i'll favor of
remonetizing silver, presenting the
matter in very direct and practical
way; and from this turned TO the
Southern policy of Administration,
and committed himself unrcservedly
in favor of giving the Presidents pol
icy ga patient and hopeful trial" He
did not say he thought it the wiset or
safest policy that could have been pur-
sued, nor yet did he denounce it as a
or fraud '.ItIs now beyond
CONTROL" he said. ''and we cannot
avoid it if we would" Therefore, he
argued, the best thing we can do about
it, is to submit in silence, it we cannot
endorse it, and trust to the Presidents
"purity of intention and exalted pat
riotism" to resort to harsher and stern
err measures if the South shall inter-
pref his offer of the olive branch to be
"a surrender of the things secured
By the overthrow of the rebellion.
On the whole Mr.. Ryan's address |
was one which did him credit, as a
citizen and as member OF Congress,
and we are sure that all who heard il,
and all who read it, viii agree with us
in commencing its rare good sense, its
freedom from clap-trap, aud its gener-
al suitableuess to the time and the &C.

September 81, 1877.
ED. EAGLE: The weather has been
favorable to the farmers for the past
week which will enable them to get in
their wheat. The most of them will
have it in this week. Our early corn
is most ready to commence cribbing.
We are glad to learn our county fair
has been success. The farmers in
general will be more willing to take
part in the future. Every year will be
adding more curiosities in the art of
machinery and all kinds of farming
implements.
l noticed in your last weeks issue a
communication signed "Reformed
Bach" he said it was good evidence
that had pair Of goggles as l had
to through five inch wall and large
hedge fence and other distractions.
Well, l have got better eyes than my
pap, as every young American has or
claims to have. / want to inform yon

to see that the ladies never got out of
their wagon. Father can have my
goggles in welcome if he will be so
kind as to come and see his soney.
Soney will try to fl his proboscis with
a pair of magnifiers that will enable
him TO look through five inch wall
and several hedgerows with accuracy.
The ladies join in sending their best
wishes and regards to our reformed
Bach" and hoping these magnifiers
that soney proffers him will enable
him in taken observations more accu-
rately, remain your affectionate soney,
REFORM BACHE's Son.

and if thesrights of labor be not rec
ogDized, and that soon, a standing ar
my will have to be raised and MAIN
tanned to keep the starving multitude
in subsection.
But it is for the farmers of the Uni
ted States to settle this vexed question;
in them is vested certain amount of
both labor and capital; they hold = po-
sition between the extremels wealthy
and the extremely destitute. They
are the National guard of this great
Republic; in them is vested the bal
ance of political power, and whenever
there is conflict between those two
great contenains elements of society
when the strong arc expressing the
weak; when the rich are endeavoring
TO reduce the poor TO q state of abjcct
servitude, it becomes their duty to
organize their forces and step at once
fearlessly and without delay to the
rescue. Thousands of our farmers,
| through long years of stearn endeayor
have been enabled to secure them
selves q home, and although struggling
hard to make both ends meet, they are
nevertheless placed above the necessi-
| tv of "begging brother of the earth
to give them leave TO TOLL" and they
should not, under any circumstances,
tamely submit to any condition of
things that might have tendency to
again reduce them to that necessity.
They not only guard against their own
rights being encroached npou, but
they should use every means in their
power to elevate as far as possible
those of their deserving fellow-men
who have been less fortunate than
themselves.
Monarchial governments may tyran-
izc over and hold their down-trodden
and oppressed subjects at bay at the
point of the bayonet, but a Republic
like ours cannot violate the laws of
political and social equality and ex-
pect to escape the consequences. The
average American citizenis loyal to
the core; ne loves his country; he is
no Communist; there is little danger
of him ever rebeling against the pow
ers that he, but he won't be tyranized
over by any combination OF interests
over which the Government seems to
have no control. Herein lies the dan
ger. Those monopolies that are rul-
| ing the country with a road (rod) Of
iron, are not going to leave go their
grasp upon the people without des-
perate effort. Like the old slave pow
Ell they will demand new guarantees
and concessions, and unlnss checked
in their mad career they will stop
netting short Of absolute and uncon-
trolled sway. On the other hand the
producers are becoming restless and
uneasy under the pressure.
There is an impending crisis" and
the question is, shall it be settled
peacefully or forcibly. The is the
principal living issue of the day, and
the farmers of the land can step for
ward and act as arbitrator if they
will, and avert national calamity, the
disastrous consequences of which none
can foretell. In future article | will
have more to say on this subject.
