VOLUME SO.
Farmers Should be Legislators.

1t Is one OF the most anomalous cOndi-
tlons OF our political organism, that a
population composed mainly of farmers.
mechanics, merchants and manufacturers,
should, as a rule, be represented in all its
legislative bodies, including Congress. bv
lawyers. The fact that it is so represent
ed is patent, and it is certainly time that
change in the custom which occasions
it should occur. That those who live 10y
litigation should be privileged to make
the laws, whose breach, annulment or mis-
construction supplies them with the means
OF subsistence, is about as crude an eX-
ample of mismanagcd public policy as can
well be conceived. That those whose in
terest it is that laws should be broken
should be chosen to frame them, might
occur among people i'll a state of anar-
chy. Yet the nineteenth century sees the
leading Republic OF the world no farther
advanced than this in practical self-gov-
ernmelt. The situation is much the
same in England, but not to the same ex-
tent. There, representatives of old coun-
ty families, and gentlemen expressly edu-
Gated for parliamentary career, are term
after term elected, and it is a well known
fact that some OF the strongest members
Of the House Of Commons are agriculture
lists. But it is remarkable that Spain is
the only country where the rule to re
present ali public interests in the Nation
al Legislature prevails. The Cortes, or
legislative body Of Spain, is composed,
like our own, of a Senate and House Of
Representatives. In the election of mem
bers Of the lower House it has been Gus
t0mary, from time mmemorial. to repre-
sent the different trades and industries
by electing from them as members per
sons who have been absolutely engaged
in their practical pursuit. Spain was
once supreme among nations; there labor
throve under benign Influences. and the
lot OF mankind was perhaps as pleasant
and prosperous as in any land whose his
tory is known to us. AS it would appear
to be the law of races and nations that
these rise, decline and fall, in their own
good time, without exception the condi-
tion of Spain during the past century is
no evidence against the peculiar system
to which we have referred. The Jour
