ENGLISH md AMERICAN F4RMERS.

ENGLISH AND d4hLhLCdN f1HMEhO.
Lord Derby's recent speech at the annual
meeting of the Lancashire Farmers Club is
of as much interest to Americans as to English
men. 1t was addressed, not to landlords but
to tenant farmers and went straight home to
the difficulties under which they have labored
for the last two years, with a diTectness and
plain common sense for which he has been
gwen credit even by the opposite party.
I hese difficulties arise secOndarily from the
existing land system which debars freedom of
contract, from the preservation of game, and
the frequent Lick of proper compensation for
unexhausted improvements. These are the
three inevitable subjects for quarrel between
landlord and tenant but underneath these
lies the real primary trouble, the greatly d.
minished income of the English tenant farmer
because of the recent competition with him In
the market of the American or Australian
farmer, who is not a tenant at all, but owns
his land. Lord Derby laid his finger directly
on this cause Of the sore.
The farm he described as being in reality
nothing but food factory. In England the
manufacturer of butter and beef had the
rent of this factory to pay out of his profits,
while in America he has no rent to pay. A
child could understand facts so simple, and
a child could follow them out to the ineyi-
a bic conclusion and remedy: Let the
"tenant go to America" Lord Derby
offered 10 other way to the farm
ers around him out of their troubles
than emigration. "You spoil" he said
bluntly, "your own and each others chances
"by being too thick upon the ground. Those
"who mean to bring up their SONS to agricul-
"ture should look to America and Australia
The London Times strengthens this dictum
without agreeing with it, by admitting that the
only farms to lease III England are those prac-
tically worn out, and that profits from farming
must be greater than at present i'll England
before they will again be brought under cul-
tvatiOn.
Other leading English papers rebel against
this wholesale blood-lettng of the patient as
too heroic a remedy. England is not yet SO
sick man as to require it. III the reduction
of her surplus population is all that can save
her. they cry, 1t is high time that Parliament
insisted upon an investigation of the state of
things, which investigation will probably not
enable Lancashire farmer to sell his beef at
penny more per pound, while his Indiana
rival has command Of the market. The
patriotic editors who urge this Parliamentary
investigation as Il cure for the empty pockets
of tenant farmers remind them yehemently
of "Ireland ruined by just such hemorrhage
as Lord Derby recommends" The example
is an unfortunate one. Ireland was never 80

Sherman. Az for the Greenback party he thinks
that is gradually fading away

nitlde success. He thinks the business of the
country is gradually improving, and that after the
next Presidential election shall enter upon
career of unexamDled prosperity He is evidently
conhdent OF Republican success in 1880.
Congressman Mills. of Texas. is another Southern
statesman who is sOrely grieyed by the lack oil
starch IN Tilden's backbone. He does not believe
the South will consent to have him forced upon =
them again. Texas people like Thurman best, he
thinks and after him Hancock or Hendricks. II is
curious that they should pick the three candi-
dates who are enormously the weakest in the lot He
talks about Southern and Western soft money al

is probably the most absurd notion he has absorbed

General Hustled seems TO be tho only man in New
York who knows who is going to be the next Re
publican candidate for Governor. When asked by
Gath" of The Philddelpid Press who the man
would be- the General answered promptly, William
H. Robertson. and then gave this concise sketch Of
him: " He always runs in Democratic district.
and always carries il. He beaten for any

IS a conservative mild man. and his ability is i'm or
ganizatIon. lie is the best organizer in the state.
He has been in public life Twenty-Five years. and the
office is his due. have doubt of his nomIna-
ton"
Congressman ConRer the Michigan member who
stirred mp the Democratic menagerie so frequently
at the last session, hopes Tilden Will be the Demo-
cratic candidate next year. because he considers
him the easiest man TO beat that the party has
Bayard is a strong and good man, he says, but has
no more hope OF the nomination than Hendricks
which is no hope at all On the Republican side he
doesn't think Grant wishes the nomination. and he
is sure the people OF the United States are not in
favor of a third term Blaine will be formidable
candidate but will labor under the disadvantage Of
previous defeat. Z" We are gong TO put up good
man" says Mr.. COnger at the clOseO of his Observa-
tlons. which were addressed to reporter OF The
cincinnati Enquirer. " yOu may depend on that. We
arr going TO elect him, too. and when we DO that
we are going To maugurate him. OF cOurse the
shotgun policy will prevail in the South, but the
North is more solid than ever, and we will find our
winning votes there. We Will elect a Republican
without any difficulty"

Lord Derby's words are no doubt prophetic
and will be followed Mt no distant day by an
exodus of tenant farmers to this country.
There is room and land enough for them !;
and they will probably after while prosper
and increase in knowledge and self-respect, as
the majority of foreigners do who come
among us. But If they mean to compete
with the American farmer in foreign markets
they must learn how to bring their produc-
tons up to as high grade us his. They are
far below them now. The English farmer
like the English manufacturer or mechanic,

There is the real cause why, whether 1t be
muslin or beef, 1t sells badly. Back OF this
cause lies the fact that the workman has too
little ambition and too much beer. both or
