DOWN on TIE FARMERS.

An attempt has been made to cast
odium on the immoderate appropria-
tions, made by the State. to agricultu-
raj societies, by introducing bills to
make excessive appropriations to
nearly every agricultural society in
the State, which neither the movers nor
any one else, wanted made. When these
bills came up for consideration in the
Senate, Senator Quarles made an clio.
quent speech against class appropria-
tons. He looks upon these small ap-
preparations to agricultural societies,
to encourage annual agricultural ex-
hibitions, as an appropriation to
farmers, for their especial benefit. The
most enlightened nations foster their
agriculture by generous appropria-
tons, for making practical and scien.
tific Investigations. Eminent scien-
lists are employed, and no expense is
spared IN providing all necessary ap-
planes. And why? Because their
statesmen appreciate the fact that
agriculture is the foundation of a
nations prosperity; and because a ma
ton can only prosper permanently
and surely, in proportion to her pro-
gress in agriculture. To what do we
owe our present unparalleled prosper
TYP Mainly to agriculture. Gold
has flowed in upon us from Europe, in
exchange for our butter and cheese,
beef and nation. hams, bacon and
lard, cotton, corn and wheat. The
taxpayers are called upon to contrib
ute more than forty thousand dollars
annually to the State University. It
has turned out one graduate in agri-
culture, and turns out grist of law
yers every year. If the whole turnout
of lawyers were exported, Europe
would not give US song for them.

t is the distorted view Of a writer
whose mental and moral vision is
warped out OF shape. What does a
merchant sell goods for ? To make
money. What fors TO extend his
business. What for? To make more
money and in this circle he moves un-
til he bursts or the Almighty stops his
hoggish' proceedings. What does an
editor publish daily newspaper for ?
To make money. What for To buy
more newspapers. What for Tomake
more money and in this circle he
moves until he bursts or gets starved
out. Farming is slow way of making
money but there is no class of people
more inclined to spend their surplus
earnings than farmers. Often before
the money is earned the fine house IS
built and furnished sons and daugh-
ters are sent away to school or college
luxuries are INDUCED in. Often the
head is whitened and the form bent
| with age before the work of raising
corn and hogs can be laid aside. After
competency is secured no one is more
ready than the farmer to retire and
spend his few remaining days IN rest
and ease.

These tickets will be good to return
upon any train up to the midnight of
the 9Th, this being the limit agreed upon
by the different companies. Such being
the fact, the matter Of saving time on
the journey becomes one Of no ordinary
and it behooves the pro-
spective passenger to bear in mind
that the Baltimore and Ohio is the only
direct line from Chicago to Washing
ton. Trains run direct from Chicago to
Washington, while the trains on all
competing lines are forced to take cir
cuitous routes to get into the Capital.
This necessitates increased travel and
time in the cars. The Baltimore and
Ohio naturally anticipating great de-
mands upon it, has added a great deal of
new equipment, and SO perfected its
system of sleeping cars and dining cars
as to be prepared to accommodate any

Chicago on the evening train arrive in
Washington the next evening, and
those who have made arrangements to

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.

What the people may justly demand
of railway corporations is: That in
their capacity as public carriers, they
shall serve the public for fair COM
pensation, and that their service shall
be on basis Of equality and justice
between those who desire it.
With regard to the taxation of rail
roads, this must be borne in mind:
The revenues of railroads are derived
from earnings, for transporting pas.
sengers and freights; and these services
are paid out Of the earnings. AS
everybody uses the railroad, everybody
helps pay the railroad taxes.
There are some men who seek to
alarm the people by making it appear
that they, in comparison with railroad
corporations, are bearing too large a
share of the burden of taxation. Rail-
roads only pay a rate Of 81 mills,
while private property is paying a
rate Of 1715 mills. This is made to
appear from the estimated value of
railroad property, compared with the
estimated value of other property, and
the tax paid by EACH The railroads
of Wisconsin are estimated to be
worth, in round numbers, $129,000,-
900; other property, liable to be taxed,
$450,000,000. In this we see the rail
roads are estimated to be of q value
equal to more than one-third of all
other property. Give me the broad
acres of Wisconsin; her thousands
and tens of thousands, of improved
farms; give me her tens of thousands
of horses, sheep and swine; give me
her diaries and dairy implements, and
improved farm machinery; give. me
her cities, that deck like a crown of
jewels, Wlsconsin's glory; give me
her factories, workshops and mills;
give me her stores, whose wealth yies
with that Of Indiana; give me her
forests, and the riches of her mines;
give me-, but stay: have enough
now to buy all the railroads more
than a hundred times.
But let us suppose that other tax
able property is worth but ten times
as much as the railroads, we can east.
ly see they are paying more than their
full share of taxes.
He is but demagogue who creates
imaginary burdens for the people to
bear, for they cause just as much suf-
fering and terror as real ones, and are
just as hard to bear while they are be-
lieved in. The trickster may, for a |
time, gain the applause Of the multi
tude, by feigning to destroy imaginary
monsters, creatures of his own fertile
fancy, who, as he makes the people
believe, are about to devour them.
The railroads are subject to the con-
troll of the people. They can confs-
cate or destroy them. But, instead of
doing that, they need more railroads,
and the sober, second thought of the
people will favor legislation of a |
character to promote their building.

Congress proposes to appropriate
$4,000 for the purchase and distribu-
ton of seeds, but the members want to
control three-fourths Of the distribu-
ton, leaving tho remaining fourth to
the Commissioner OF Agriculture. 1t
Is a burning disgrace to think members
Of Congress can stoop to the meanness
Of appropriating public funds to buy
seeds for them to distribute to their
friends, and not put them where they
will do the most good. The whole seed
distribution is q miserable humbug.
The seeds are Of the common kinds
that can be purchased Of any dealer,
but are not usually as good, and contain
seeds Of foul weeds. We once received

be late variety of dent, not pure, how
ever, and ripening two or three weeks
later than the latest varieties here, and
would not ripen before frost.

for $4,000 damages, and submits the
story of her woes to the court in a

sets forth the evil results of intemper-

ton in charge. Of the Inauguration cere-
monies of James A. Garfield. The
company has recently placed on the line
several new and very elegant cars,
locomotives and the like. The new
dining car line out Of this city has prov
ed very popular, and will be so managed
as to insure comfort and convenience
to all patrons, new as we'll as old.
There is no finer cars run in the world
than the new Baltimore and Ohio
sleepers, and some forty or more of
these will be ready by the first Of next
month. Second only in beauty and
general comfort to the sleeping cars
are the handsome new day coaches of
the company, and the superb equip
ment, together with the fast time
schedule, cannot but add greatly to the
popularity of the road. It is the only
line running direct from Chicago and
the west to Washington, and by all
other lines there must of necessity be
increased travel and longer time on
the road. The Baltimore and Ohio tick
cts will go on sale on the first and be
good for the trip to Washington on any
train from the first to the third lnclu-
sive, and for the return trip up to the
last train on the night of the seventh.
