The Gazette says The legislation for
the census of 1860 was by q Republican
House, which never thought of putting
any such condition of sharing. as Mr.. PEN

the length and breadth OF the United
States none bu Democrats were appOin ted
to take the census. But this affairin Ohio
is only skirmish for position in the
South, where the design is to apply those

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Abstractly considered the Agriculturas
Department is one of the most important
of the Government. That its head
should be raised to the dignity of
Cabinet Officer, few who rightly con-
slider the subject can doubt As to the fit
ness of LeDuc for the holding of that DO
sition we are not now called upon to dis
cuss, but that our agricultural interests
have hitherto not had that intelligent
consideration that they demand is
conceded by every thorough farmer and
considerate political economist in the
country. With a climate and soil as
varied as the whole of Europe, we yet
fail to produce many things that we con-
sumo in large quantities, and that, if
introduced and properly fostered, we
might grow for consump' ion at home, if
not in quantities to export. There is no
valid reason why we should send to
China and Japan for our tea, or to
France and Italy for our silk, or
to Cuba and elsewhere for our
sugar. As to coffee, the question
is more difficult, but then it is equally
clear that there exists no reason why
Brazil, whence we draw our largest sup.
plies Of that article, should not be taught
to know that we supply the fabrics,
utensils and manufactured articles that
she now obtains from England in such
quantities, of as good quality and at
as reasonable prices as they can be
furnished her in Europe. All
these subjects Of natural inter
change would not properly belong
to the Department of Agriculture,
but the agricultural products that we
grow or consume would, and if other coun-
tries find market here for their surplus
there is no good reason why we should
not send them something from among
our varied productions that they have to
look elsewhere for. To watch over our
and other countries needs, would be the
province among ether things for such q
department to do. We grow now some
thing exceeding 100000 bales
Of cotton annually. We produce
this year It's, ,00O, 900 bushels Of surplus
wheat; our tobacco yield is something
enormous and is penetrating Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Connecticut and Illinois, where
before the war it was not dreamed Of

AID FOR IRELAND.

10 the people OF America OF nigh ana
low degree, Providence during the past
and thus far in the present year has
rained his blessings. Our workshops are
busy with the hum of labor; our factories
resound with the moving of the spindle
and the hammer and the loom; our cities
are active with the noise of traffic. Upon
the hillside and the plain have waved
the glad abundance of the harvest with
which our granaries are bursting yet
to-day, and our railroads and our rivers
groan with the weight Of priceless mer-
chandise they transport to distant cities
and the sea; but beyond the sea the voice
of a stricken people comes to us be-
seechingly for bread. In Ireland, the
emerald that gems the broad Atlantic,
three hundred thousand people starve;
how many more wait despairingly the
gaunt specterin the dreary months that
yet must intervene until another harvest
it matters not to know until the
present appeal is responded to,
and the response must be as hearty as
the Nation can give. Millions Of our
citizens are Irish born or of Irish descent
or are bound by the ties of affection or
consanguinity to the land and the people
that sit in the agony of despair at the
grim specter that stands by every thresh-
old. Patrick Henry was a son Of Erin,
and the home of an Emmett and Tone
must never appeal in vain to the Nation
that his eloquence defended. Moreover,
were the ties that bind the hearts of the
American people to Ireland less tender
than they are, the broad claims of
brotherhood and humanity alone would
appeal to us in tones that could not be
disregarded by a generous and high
minded people.
The spring Of last year in Europe was
cold and backward, the summer was wet
and unpropitious; the blight that in Ire
land was so fatal in 1916 to the potato
crcp, and which began to manifest itself
anew in 1S47 seized once more upon and de-
stroyed the unripened tubers and the grain
was rotten and wasted in the fields. Au-
tumn get in exceptionally early and winter
has been cold beyond example in recent
years. This, therefore, is the condition
of the Irish people, with q land tenure
that embraces the most vicious Of the
vicious features of the ancient feudal sys-
tenn that grinds the people to the dust,
in addition to the horrors of a total fail
ure in the staple crops of the country
upon which her people depend. Can a
nation merit more the protection and the
charities of the world at large, the fra
ternal sympathy and active aid Of the
American people?
There is, we understand, to be a colleo-
ton made in many of the churches of the
city tomorrow and the following Sun
day in behalf of Ireland. Let this
be generous as we should hope might be
extended to our own sons or brothers
were the shadow that has fallen on the
Emerald Isle to have descended instead
upon our own families and countrymen.

Having advised and urged that

election day and business virtually
suspended, in order that all may have
a chance to vote and work on that
day, we propose to lead of by an
nouncing that the LEDGER will not be
issued that day. Thisisnot only setting
an example, and practicing what we
preach, but it will give our staff and
force in the different departments an
opportunity to use their influence at
the polls, and to do a good practical

interchangeable should be elected.
On account Of some election printing
which may be required, the counting
room and job rooms will necessarily be
kept open in the forenoon. We are
glad to learn that several of our lead
ing merchants have already deter
mined not open their stores at all
next Thursday, and it is to be hoped
that nearly all will come to this CON
clusion. BY s~uspending business
entirely that day, several hun
dred active young workers Of
great influence will be turned loose
to work at the polls and greatly in
crease the democratic vote. Only by
a cool, determined, united effort of all
the substantial elements of the com
munity will victory be assured.
