THAT sheep can save poor farms from
utter ruin, and improve the condition
of good farms, is beyond doubt. How
ever much we may prize the horse and
cow for valuable services to mankind,
still we must admit that the keeping of
sheep is very profitable to the farmer in
that it brings money to his pocket and
improves the condition of his land. Ex-
perence has shown that sheep husband
ry is directly profitable. There are no
losses and very few risks to meet with
in the business. Early lambs, fat
wethers, wool and pelts always bring
good prices and find ready market. Be
sides sheep bring up the condition of
the farm, and as the old adage has it,
turns the earth to gold wherever their
footprints are found" Nothing will i'm
prove farm so well as course of hus.
bandry in sheep, well selected and judi
ci0usly followed. Sheep can be made
the salvation of poor farm, aud if
more of our farmers would keep more
sheep, large share Of prosperity would
be the result.-Ex.

Agricultural.

STRONG hopes are entertained by
stockmen in different parts of the coun-
try that the prices of hogs will reach a
higher figure before spring. They argue
that the greater part of the hogs will
have been marketed by midwinter, and
that supplies will become sufficiently
light TO force an advance after awhile.
1t is little early yet to indulge in such
speculations, and it cannot be said with
safety that such possibilities have as
sumed the air of probabilities. The
matter will assume a more positive
shape a month hence, but hog-raisers
certainly have no ground for alarm at
the prospect.-Stockman

The Executive Committee OF the Ma
tional Democratic Committee has issued
the following address:
In response 20 inquiries. the National Demo-
q Il Committee makes the following state
ment ia reference 10 the so-cailcd Morcy
letter;
m'ttoe thereof has ever taken any action In
reference 70 the letter.
= u was hrsi called 20 the attention OF tho
Chairman 81 the Committee ON the night he
fore IS publication ia Trnta on the s0th OF Do
toh.r.
3 The Chairman thcrcupon requested Mr..
smallcy, a member OF the Committee 20 ex-
anime the letter, but permission 10 do 50 was
refused al the Office of Truth.
4 No bcr OF the Committee ever saw
the letter or any copy or portion thereof until
attcs rs publication. or was I'm any wise con-
ccs therein, or gave any advice IN refer
ence thereto.
Q. Hart, publisher OF Truth, trough the
orig inal letter 10 headquarters, No. rs Fifth
Ncnuc, ON the afternoon OF the soth Of Octo-
Der. where Il was seen for the first time by
any member Of the Committee. and then cx-
umined by several members Of the Committee
and other persons not members. All those
who were familiar with the handwriting OF
General CARRIED came TO the conclusion that
the letter was genuine.
g. The Committee decided 20 purchase 3
reasonable number OF elcctrotypc plates OF
the fac sim lie. which had already been pre-
pared by Irrih.
Z. No denial having come from General
Garfield OF the authenticity Of the letter, not
withstanding the tcleggaphic demand Of the
New York Herald. and a very sharp leader in
thar paper. the Committee decided to give
cut the electrotype plates. which was accord
ingly done. The propricty Of this action was
not doubted by the Committee, rs the letter
seemed 70 be in harmony with General Gar
held's views upon the subject, covered by a
letter gathered from the public records, OF
undouhtcd Gcnuincness.
s. The first complete denial was not publish

show that Morey was a real person. and not a
myth. the Committee called for It's production,
ns they we're bound TO do, in order % arrive at
the truth.
~ II the letter has been forged. or any
fraud committed IN reference thereto, or any
false evidence been given. IL has been done
without the knowledge, consent or privIty OF
the Committee, or any member thereof.
Finally, the Committee approves ~ all hon

who have committed any violation OF law, and
have no interest in thism matter but 10 arrive NJ

IL appears that Grant, Conkiing. Cam
eron, Logan have been elected Presi-
dent. 1t appears rs we write that the
effect Of the October election was too
potent to be overcome. This October
effect has never failedto make itself ielt
in our Presidential elections. While
Pennsylvania was an October state the
other States followed Pennsylvania like
sheep jumping down a precipice. The
methods by which Ohio and Indiana
we're carried in October are known to
the country. II was these methods.
therefore. that won the election.
for we assume that 1t Is lost to the
Democracy. What has triumphedp
Sectionalism has triumphed; Chinese
cheap labor has triumphed; the coer-
cion Of the white workingman has tri-
umphed; falsehood in newspapers and
on the stump has trinmphed; centraliza-
ton has triumphed; the Empire has tri-
umphed. 1t il not the triumph Of Gar
field, ii i the victory Of the strong man
who came to his rescue in Ohio and In
diana before the 18th of October, and
in whose hands he is.
Who and what have been beatenp A
brave Union soldier, heroic in battle, a
noble and splendid lover Of civil liberty
in peace. has been defeated. The beau
tiful sentiment Of union. the harmonious
impulses that should fill the hearts Of
the people Of one country. have been
for the moment crushed. 1t is disclosed
BY the methods we have indicated that
Union Is not wanted. 1t Is announced
that the great rivers that flow like artcr-
les through this continent to the Gulf,
bearing upon their bosoms the rich
argosies Of an industrious people. begin
In one country and end In another.
That was the commanding argument of
the canvass, and that is the interpreta-
ton to be placed upon the verdict.
This. therefore, Is not the triumph in
which the patriotic American finds
IN for e~xultation. There Is in the
victory no flavor Of fraternity, no gentle
belief that this country is to be one in
the affections of the future as il is one
in history, in interest. in geography, in
beauty. The Republican party in con
Quoting this campaign and this election
have done all that they could do 10
destroy this sentiment Of Union.
But the triumph i not permanent.
The Democratic principle. the idea
which underlies a system Of govern
ment, is as lasting as the continent on
which that Government dwells. The
Democratic party. old as the century,
can survive the defeats Of q quarter Of
the century. II has sounded forth
the trumpet that shall never call re-
treat while the Republic lives il will
live. II the country seems now at the
feet Of spirit Of Capitalization, Of cen
tralized power that does not differ from
the Empire, il Is in spite Of Democratic
protest; and the Democratic party, not.
wit outstanding this temporary reverse.
will falter not from It's lofty spirit; will
fail not In its final purpose; will con
tinue It's splendid march in the cause
d the people against power, In the
cause Of Democracy. - Cincinnati En-
