MARY ANN L1vERMoRE, in her observa-
lions in Europe of the expressions of wo-
men, found that they were everywhere sub
jected to the meanest and most fatiguing
manual labor. without proper compensa-
ton. while white men looked on, smoking
their eternal pipes without so much as lift.

many, the land of literature, science, ,schol-
arship, music, art, culture-to whose uni
versities We send our sons for thorough,
mental equipment-the land that boasts of
its advanced civilization-this Germany
leads in mean treatment of women, and has
preeminence in that kind of civilization
which leaves nothing undone to exalt man,
but is content to regard and treat woman
as serf. Mrs. Livermore undoubte div
exaggerates to so1as extent,as do those who
attempt to make people believe that her sex
is oppressed and down trodden in America.

The Northern Pacific farmer., 1881-10-13

The late census developed interesting
facts in regard to the freedmen. The ta-
bles are not complete, but in the states of
Alabama, Delaware, Arkansas, Florida.
Georgia, and South Carolina, it is seen that
the large plantations are being gradually
broken up, and that freedmen are becom-
ing tenant farmers. The rate of increase
in the number of farms was in South Caro-
lima nearly eight times, in Georgia nearly
five times, and in Alabama considerably
over three times as great between 1870 and
1880 as it was between 1850 and 1860. In
Florida the rate of increase was 52.6 per
cent. between 1860 and 1860, and 1888 per
cent. between 1870 and 1880. Of farms
rented for produce there is an aggregate in
the six states of 1s5, ,7S5, as against u, 1894
rented for fixed cash payments, while the
aggregate number of rented farms of both
classes is 213,17o, as against 28l ,795 occu-
pied by the owners. Many of the freedmen
have acquired homesteads of their own, but
the mass, of course, are obliged to become
tenant farmers, necessary, if not the best
probation for actual ownership.
The Northern Pacific farmer., 1881-10-13

The magnitude of stock and produce
gambling in this country is very much
greater than many people suppose. The
fact is that comparatively few stocks are
brought outright. The business is nearly
all done on margins. There are sold on
the New York Stock Exchange daily an av
erage Of $4,000 shares of stock, the par
value Of which is $35, ,OOo, 900. To purchase
that enormous amount requires only
$1,75O,00O of actual cash. A person with
$500 or 81, 900 can purchase one to two
hundred shares of stock of the par value of
$4,000 to 100000. The purchases for &C.
tual investment compared with the volume
OF business is small, probably not 10 per
cent. of the whole. There is cotton ex-
change in New York, where as much cot
ton is sold in week as is produced in the
United States in year. Futures are bought
and sold for every month in the year. In
Chicago and Milwaukee three-fourths of
all the business done on the Boards of Trade
is purely speculative. Futures are bought
and sold on margins. A margin of $500 to
$500 will carry 10000 bushels of grain.
Anybody, with even 800 or $50 can get
in: As matters are now conducted, it is not
mercantile talent that is required, but the
talent Of educated gamblers.
The Northern Pacific farmer., 1881-10-13

SEPTEMBER of this year will be remark.
able for the extraordinary rainfall being
ten inches for the north. This is more
than four times the average Of the Sep
tember rainfall for the previous six years
and more than three times the average
for the last thirty years, The meteorolcgi-
cal records show no September rainfall since
1886 approximating the remarkable volume
of water which fell from the sky during
streams in Minnesota and Wisconsin being
now full to overdowing, the approach of
cold weather will suspend evaporation, and
We should have heavy SHOWS this winter
we may expect next spring the most de-
structive inundaticn ever witnessed in this
region.
The Northern Pacific farmer., 1881-10-13

SEVENTEEN archbishops and bishops of
Ireland have recently had conference, at
Maynooth on the land bill and the state of
Ireland, and have issued manifesto which
cannot fail to have an in portant influence
in quieting that unhappy country. They
considered it their duty to declare that the
new land act is of great benefit to the tenant
class, aud large installment of justice, for
which the gratitude of the country is due
to Mr.. Gladstone and his government, and
to all who helped them carry this measure
through parliament. The bishops earnestly
exhort their focks to avail themselves of
the advantages derived from the act, be-
lieving that, if rightly used, it will bring
present and substantial benefits, and help
them to obtain their rights, social and polit-
ical, which they justly claim. They also
