PROTECT TIE MILK.

The daily consumption of milk IN New.Y York City
and its suburbs approaches 400, 900 quarts and at
least $2j 600, 900 are invested by farmers in this
industry alone. And certainly other busi-
ness of this magnitude is conducted 30
loosely or with such q lack of anything
ike guarantee to the producer as to price, GER
tainty of payment, or as TO how long the market
will receive his goods. A farmer with 500, 900 iu-
vested in farm and dairy equipments is very
likely to consign his milk because be
can do no better to an Irresponsible
pedler whose entire outfit isn't worth $500.
and upon whose horse and wagon thore is generally
a chattel mortgage. There some heavy and
responsible dealers. it is true, but in the large
majority of cases the man who owns milk
routeD doesn't own anything else In particular.
To merchant OF this sort, whose credit
rates at zero the milk for a
month. while no money goes to the farmer, for the
simple reason that the peder must wait until he
makes his collections before he can pay The farmer
isn't even advised how much he is to receive until
after board Of middlcmen make up
their minds whether they will pay him
two cents or two and q half cents a
a quart Then at the close Of one month the
milkman If he doesn't fail or run away, will send
tho money for the milk he received during the
previous month, deducting the price of n certain
number of cans which he chooses to condemn
as "sour." Meantime the farmer is any day
liable to find letter tied to one of
his can-handles. informing him in broken German
OF pure Greek that his milk is no longer needed,
and the perlshable material is thrown back on his
hands The mIlkman may give no reason whatever
for his course, he may deign to explain that
milk is too plenty" or he may accuse the
farmer of skimmng dilutng The result
is the same in every case. There is absolutely no
redress.
In such an uncertain traffic it Is marvellous that
farmers fail To protect themselves and Others, even
in minor matters where security Is possible. A
recent discovery on "a New-Jersey railroad prove;
that dealers have justly complained of SKINNED
milk when absolutely pure article left tho spring
of tho farmer. An.entorprslng young milk agent

ton of 1880. Given u Democratic President
named by the Solid South and under bonds
to do its bidding, and the same league OF
Southern leaders who now control caucus
would then dictate to every branch OF the
Government.
Ii was against this very same despotlsm'
usurped and exercised by Senatorial Clique
in the days of Pierce, that the Douglas
Democrats rebeled Then, as now, inc
Solid South had supreme power IN a
Democratic caucus. Then. as now, 1t used
that power for aggressive and sectional ends.
Then, as now 1t threatened to destroy the
Government unless its demands should be
granted. Democrats finally revoted, under
Douglas, and refused to be driven any longer
under the lash of caucus to the destruction OF
the Union. But Douglas is dead. Eighteen
years of defeat and furnishing exclusion from
office have made the Northern Democracy
submissive. The country must now be saved
from harm, not by any change within the
Democratic party, but by a revolution against
that party, its methods and its aims.

A FEW PLAIN WORDS.

The Democrats are still trying hard to d.
vert the ISSUE cit is not revolutionary to
"put riders on an appropriation bill" they
scream. Who said it was You Republicans
did it yourselves when You were III power"
Well, what of it Nobody has questioned
the right of the majority in Congress
to attach any sort of legislation, congruous
or incongruous, to the annual supply bills. 1t
is bad policy it is reprehenslble abuse OF
power but the Constitution does not prohibit
it. There is no issue as to the right OF the
Democrats TO pass the bills i'll any shape they
please. All the ado they can make VIII
not deceive the people. They came to wash
incton threatening to take the Government by
the throat and choke it to death unless they
were allowed to repeal the laws passed to Sc
cure honest elections. They said among thenl-
selves: We cannot elect President without
New York, and we cannot carry New YORK
" if the laws remain III force which hinder us
" from committing frauds in the city. we
"must wipe out these laws the first thing we
edo" And then they began to bully the
President, declaring that they would with
hold the money needed to pay the
Army, run the courts and collect the
revenue III Dt ptilpllIltu hio buh WIN
stitutiona duty of vetoing measures he
disapproved. Their scheme was promptly ex-
posed and denounced. They have not aban-
doned it, but they are trying hard to make
the country believe that what the Republicans
stigmatlzed as revolutionary was their pur-
pose to do as they pleased in Congress with
their own bills and not their avOwed inten-
ton of destroying the Government, unless the
President would sign what he deemed Obnox-
iOus measures
We would like to say n few plain words TO
these gentlemen Messrs. Democrats, the
country is tired of your protestatiOns and
grimaces. Everybody understands your game
People are ready TO exclam with Hamlet :
Leave off your damnable faces and begin"
Stop your mOuthings of mock patriotism, put
your bills through speedily in any shape you
wish, and make yOur fight with the President
in manly way. Don't sneak off on side issues.
The question is a perfectly plain one. You want
to repeal the election laws, so you can carry
New-YOrk i'll 1850 as you did in 1868. YOu
don't care straw whether troops can be
stationed at the polls or not, because you
know there are scarcely enough soldiers east
of the Mississippi all told to intimidate a
CROSSROADS squad of bulldozers. Go on with
your game, then. Pass your bills-yOu have
the power-and then carry out, if you dare,
the threats you made when the session began.

General Bragg will lose by his effort to abolish
the Southern Claims Commission much OF the
credit which he got by denOuncing Southern
claims. His speech Of several months ago
seemed to be an honest protest by Union
soldier against Rebel designs upon the Treas
ury, but his motion of yesterday was obviously
an attempt to make political capital for him
self and his party, at the expense of justice
and night. The claims which would he de-
feated bv the abolition of the Commission
at this time are the claims of loyal men who
have trusted in the promise of Congress, and
have expended much time and money in the
preparation of evidence to be submitted TO
the tribunal. The Commission expires by
limitation in a year, and to abolish it now
in the midst of It's closing work, would be
Reputation of a solemn obligation. Ii is a
sufficient commentary upon General Bragg's
demonstration to say that the Confederate
Brigadiers who always rally for grand charge
in favor of a Rebel claim supported this at
tempt TO cut off all hope of redress from
Union men who suffered much for conscience
sake. such Southern Democratic votes as
General Bragg received coming from the
Border States where the claimants live. It's
the old stOry-these Democrats who seem to
be so much better than the average OF their
marty usually turn out to be a little worse.
