Educated Farmers.

hope that the day will some time when our Con-
gess will be made up largely from the agricultural
class for the larger the percentage of representation here
by persons engaged in practical agriculture the more
liberal will be the policies of the Government in respect
of it, Why farmers thus aside and do not rule Con-
gress thus explained 1t because farmers salts
fled with giving their children only inferior education
apparent that all youths of the land they should
receive the careful training the most thorough and
the general instruction The practical agrculturSt
requires knowledge of economical chemistry, of botany
physiology, of entomology of physics and of engineer
ing for all these may be brought ato requston in farm
management. He should be learned i'll political economy,
in the rules and usageS and requirements of commerce and
of trade and of finance the interests Of his great
country closely connected with them ALL and by his
knowledge of the exact relationship OF each to the
other he should be able to protect these interests when
they may be mperled by legislation having for its object
the special protection and of some parcuarn
dus avocation without due regard for the effect there
of upon agriculture He should be learned in law in
der that he may be able understand and defend his right
of property when threatened He should give attention
literature and to philosophy. Finally he should be
conSpcuously cultured mentally disciplined enlightened
and refined because civilization demands it, because
his cass-beng the largest and most interested in the
property of the country and therefore the safest of all
should lead in affairs and this cannot do until those who
compose qualified to take exalted place at the
head Of the column of progress which otherwise they
would be entitled. Senator Paddock, qf Ns6raska

soldiers, TO fight for the honor and welfare of this great

He'd rather share their warrior rest,
Than not have been at Monterey

We fought in the old revolution
For equal representa- on,
And we gained a now constitution,
Which granted US equal taxation.
But since our last great rebellion,
Equal taxation has fled
And the love that belongs TO the People
Is secured by the Bankers instead.
o where is our equal taxation,
For VIII ch our ancestors did fight,
Where Capital pays not penny
And Labor pays twice what Is right.
VIII our country so meanly desert US,
Whom we bled for in battle array,
AS TO basely deny us our earnings
And still give us taxes to pay
Then, Soldiers, stand up for your honor,
And labor for all that is right,
Let Liberty still be untarnished,
And Justice meier suffer a blight.

And millions win rally, its honor to save,
While it floats over land and DER

Grafton
Editor National Tribune
If the Secretary of the Treasury is in about
wishing to pay out his silver why not pay it to the sol
dier aud get it in circulation at once? When fought
the battles for the Union paid in greenbacks
which these identical bankers aud bondholdeTs whom he
seems to prefer to us showed in most instances
half and now must take such crumbs as they
spare.
l. for one do not think this is right As the soldier
showed in the first instance very badly his pay,
right the pay ought to be at least equal
those who showed his pay. If the Government is GO
ing according honor then let honor all alike There
is no honor in making the soldier stand back for, it
entitled to pay, then entitled promptly

and you will not hear of any grumbng.
Yours, &c, A SOLDIER.
