The. total exports during the year
were $67l ,6S2,366. The products of
agriculture furnished. therefore,
more than two-thirds Of the whole of
our foreign exports. This is fair
test of the relative Importance of the
agricultural interest as compared with
other national industries. When we
compare the proportionate demands
made by other industries upon the
government for recognition and as
sistance with those afforded to agri-
culture, very Il spicuous inequality
is apparent to the disadvantage of the
latter. Farmers are permitted to
get along as they can without help,
and in spite of some hindrances,
while other industrial classes clamor
for help and get it. If we add to the
above figures the vast amount Of in.
land traffic supplied by agriculture,
the comparison would be more in its
favor In one and it's di sadvantape in
that pointed out.

!, Eli Perkins, who is writing up
glowing accounts of the growing
crops for the benefit of the wheat
SPECTATORS, makes this admission in a
recent letter to Chicago paper:
1t is now safe to say that the frost
danger is past, and that rust and wet
weather in harvest time are the only
calamities that can Overtake the great
wheat crop.
In southern Illinois, Kansas. and
Kentucky, there are frequent instan-
ces Of rust, but l have heard of none
in the Northwest.
Farmers should remember that
every time they indulge in Dragging
about their crops they furnish an
argument to beat down the price
of their crops.

A valued friend and leading citizen
of Dakota county writes us enQuiring

nearly all republican hitherto. and l

Pioneer Press calls the Greenback
element in congress Hog and Homi-
ney.' All right. Let them call
names: that proves nothing. The old
parties are crumbling to pieces while
the Greenbackers are multiplying on
every hand"
Our correspondent further suggests
that "the Greenbackers ought to hold
meetings in all parts of the state dur
ing the month of June and talk finance
before harvest time"
This is an excellent suggestion.
There is no reason in the world why
the Greenback party should not be as
strong in Minnesota rs it is in Wis
consin. 1t was started in this state
by Messrs. Gore, Ayers. Page, Elliot,
etc. long before any movement was
made in Wisconsin.

The master of'the State Grange p
of II. of Missouri thus writes to the
st Louis Journal and Farmer, touch
ing a piece of financial rascality by
some of the men who have been
shrieking most vigorously about the
plighted faith Of the nation:
Score ten for the national banks, as
a clear gain on the Mexican silver
dollar. Some of whom brought car
loads of this coin into the country,
that cost them from ninety-two to
ninety-four cents on the dollar, and
paying it out over their own counters,
with their own hands, for one hun
dred cents OIL the dollar, and as soon
as it become we'll distributed among
the laboring classes of the country,
these same money sharks discovered
that it is not worth hundred cents
on the dollar, consequently they es.
tablished its value as banking medi-
um of currency, at ninety cents on the
dollar, and at that rate it is now re-
ceived and paid out, by business
houses generally.
less to-day than it was last January,
when it was brought here. ut was
worth no more then, than it iDto-day,
and it's real worth to-day, is just what
it was then, there is no change in it's
real value.
The facts are, the Mexican silver
dollar is worth ten cents less than the
American silver dollar, and this was
the case when it was brought here,
and it was brought here because it
could be bought at it's real value, and
paid out at the value of the American
dollar, hence a net profit of from four
to ten cents on the dollar was realized
in the transaction. We repeat that
just as soon as it was paid out, and
became we'll distributed among the
people, banks refused to take it at
any more than it's real value, NINETY
cents on the dollar), and as : natural
consequence, all business men had
to do the same. They cannot allow
more for this dollar, than the amount
allowed them at the banks.s.

and admissions before the committee
killed the bill.
am thankful there are some men
who are not members Of congress.
Neither Major Strait nor anybody
else asked me the questions ssMr.
Gordon, would not your bill, if it be-
came law, allow any squatter found
on the land, even though he had al
ready exhausted his rights under the
homestead and pre-emption acts, to
come in and claim a patent for his
lands :" As stated by Major Strait,
according to Pausanias, and if Major
Strait or any other man says so he
states what is palpably false.
The bill itself [before and after
amendment] provided for the protec-
tion only Of apersons entitled to the
benefit OF the homestead and pre-emp-
tion law. and none other, as any man
can see who will refer to a printed
copy of the bill III. b. l, ,o35, Dec. =,
1871 Hence, If Major Strait had
asked such a question, the bill itself
would have answered him on the spot.
The fact is, Major Strait strenuous
~ took the position that the settlers
were mere squatters on the railroad
lands without any right whatever, and
that the company, having built the
road, had thereby earned the lands,
and without forfeiture having been
declared by congress, and therefore
had vested rights to allof these lands,
and could not and ought not to be de-
prived of them. That was Major
Straits argument, and that was the
question he put to me, and I gave my
opinion and asked the committee to
take the opinion of Atty. Gen, Mar
BILE. which they did, and it agreed
with mine.
Major Strait worked hard to kill his
friends bill and to help crush out
about two hundred poor families,
many of whom had lived from ten to
fifteen years on these lands, and had
invested their all in improvements on
the soil. l will untertake to say that
II these poor settlers had been voters
in Major Straits district, he would
not have done !lopenlyl what he did
in this case. No, sir; his district is
too close, and if DR.. Stewart runs
again this fall, he'll find the Third
district mighty close.

DEAR SIR: l see you put forward

with all you say against the school

that you say in favor Of Mr.. Meighsn.
Mr.. Meighen has lived in this county
over twenty years and has been manv
times elected to the state legislature,
and has always acted honestly for the
people. and independent of rings, and
l think he would do the same il con-
gress. and that is more than our rep
resentatives have done: they have all
acted for their own interest and the
interest Of rings. have been in the
state twenty-five years and have
known Mr.. Meighen ever since. and
have watched his course in the leyis.
!ature and never found any fault with
1t, nor have l ever heard
any one find fault with
him. unless he was an office seeker or
member of some ring to rob the
people. Such persons don't like him.
You might have added that he agrees
with Peter Cooper on financial cues.

There is great deal of discussion
going on nowadays as to which of
the old parties will make or lose
most by the growth of the National
Greenback party. We give couple
of contradictory views on this ques-
tion:
But if the Democrats of Michigan
would undertake to keep up their
party organization, and adopt a plat
form that would prevent the Nation
al Greenbackers from capturing the
state, their existence would have
been in vain.-Cincinnoti ENQUIRER.
Right there we differ with our able
cOtemporary. Michigan has been a
decided radical state for decade, by
from twenty to thirty thousand majer-
ity. The Democrats have no more
show of carrying the state than John
Sherman has of heaven. While we
want the Democracy to keep up their
organization. we would be glad to see
them poll a solid vote for the Nation.
al Greenback ticket, if by SO doing
the state can be secured from the
hands of the radical party. As be-
tween the two parties, radical and
Democrat, the prejudice of the peo-
pie would make it, for this genera.
tion, radical state beyond the hope
Of change. The greenback element.
distinct from the puritanical spirit
which actuates majority of her peo-
pie, may overcome this prejudice so
far as to vote for currency reform,
while they would never) vote the
Democratic ticket. Besides, that,
the state organ of the democracy, the
Detroit Free Press, is a full fledged
hard money lunatic of the most pro-
nOunced kim. Thus, if Michiean is
ever redeemed from radicalism. and
the prejudice which the present gen.
GRAFTON has imbued against the Dem
ocratic party it must be done by an
organization, such as that known as
the National Greenback party. which
is. in fact controlled, really, by Dem
ocratic principles. This same work
Of regeneration is going on in Illi.
nois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, dyed.in-
the-w0ol radical state, that never
would be redeemed from the curse of
radicalism, because Of the inherent
dislike which has been instilied into
them for years. And then, again, a
rose by any other name would smell
as sweet. and Democratic principles
instilled into the people Of these
Godforsaken states, under the name
Of National Greenbacks for a few
years would not interfere with their
final redemption, by being brought
into the fold of the democratic church.
For these reasons, and for the sue
cess of true Democracy, we say, God
speed the National Greenback party
of Michigan.-MMncie (Ind.) Courier
Democrat.
Our friends may possess their souls
in patience. The National Greenback
proposes to live on and grow regard
less Of the effects its development
may have on any other organizati on.
