Z. According to the last report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture it appears
that 100000 persons in the United
States are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. The total value of farms and
farm implements is $13, 200, 433. or
two-thirds of the productive wealth Of
the Nation. The value of farm prod
ucts and live stock in 1873 was $3, OOO,-
100000, against $4,000, 900, 900 of MN
ing and manufacturing products. Thus
it appears that not only majority Of
the adult male population of the United
States is engaged in agriculture, but
more than one-half the wealth OF the
Union is invested in that industry.
There are also 100000 persons en-
gagged in mining and manufacturing,
whose interests are closely allied with
those of the agriculturist.

Special Correspondence of the LEDGE.

Special Correspondence of the LEDGER.
WAsHINGToN. December Fit is
to be hoped that Judge Buckner's
plan for providing for the maturing
bonds will be agreed to after the hol-
idays. Mr.. Woods bill embodies
eastern Management of the public
debt, so as to provide for the national
banks, the savings institutions, trus-
tees and executors but Judge Buck
ner's antagonizes all views of that
kind, and demands not only the re-
duction of interest. but the liquida-
ton of Indebtedness and correspond
ing adjustment of taxation. Scarcely
anything can defeat Judge Buckner's
substitute for the funding bill, ex-
ccpt the consolidation of the Repub-
lican party in favor of an extra ses-
sion, and the opportunity of origi-
mating an entirely new plan to be
forced through the Senate under the
plea Of the imperative necessity of
sustaining the public credit. Divid-
ed as the democracy now is, between
eastern and western policies, with
the assistance of the Greenbackers.
action on all the bills now before
congress in regard to the maturing
bonds may be postponed. That
seems at present to be the only con-
tingency that can prevent the adop-
ton of Judge Buckner's plan.
The distinguishing difference be-
tween the two promins Mt financial
measures, now before congress- is,
thar the one aims to renew aud per-
petuate. and the other to meet and
extiDguish public indebtedness as
rapidly as possible. Both plans will
cause an immediate reduction of in
terest. There is a vast difference
between long and short bonds, but,
excepting their denominations, little
or none between short bonds and
interest bearing treasury notes.
Neither are designed for circulation.
Not being lcgal-tenders or receivable
for public dues, they will be boarded
by investors. The Greenbackers OPP
pose all financial policies but their
own, which is TO pay off the bonds
with fiat and initiate the currency,
but there need not be the least fear
that such a mischievous project will
be listened to by either Of the other
parties. After Gen. Wcaver's late
humiliation. if he is wise. he will
be contented with a back seat.
1t is safe to add to what has been
said, that whatever may be deter.
mined on, whether long or short
bonds, or treasury notes. when is
sued, though they may not bear more
than 3 per cent. interest, they will be
the most desirable investment to be
had! The faith of the country will
be pledged to meet, at the stipulated
times, both the interest and princi-
pax The holders of either or all of
them can calculate TO a cent the rev.
enue they Will yield. Such lucky
individuals need have no anxieties,
exercise no vigilance, make no effort
and perform no labor. Nothing can
reduce their income. Neither acct
dent, O bad crops, nor strikes, nor
adverse taxation can diminish what
is promised.
But this is not what the public
wants. 1t demands the extinguish.
ment of debt, and the adjustment OF
taxes. 1t wants all patriotic pleas
for revenue and protection removed
