4 RilItoEncourage industry.

Senator GEORGE Of Mississippi
has introduced a bill in the senate
for the encouragement of agricul-
ture and manufactures. 1t propo-
ses "to repeal all duties and i'm
posts now levied on mashinery for
the manufacture of cotton and WOOL
len goods, or goods composed OF
hemp or jute; false on all tools Of
mechanics which are used solely in
manual labor; also on agricultural
implements and on all cotton ties"
Anyone can see at a glance that the
object of this bill is just what it
claims to be-the encouragement of
manufactures and agriculture. Ma
chinery is Indispensable in manu-
featuring: the business cannot be
conducted without it. And the
same Of agriculture. Farming has
become to so great an extent 3
work OF machinery that successful
farming on large scale cannot be
carried on without an assortment
OF acknowledgement plows,
cuitlvators, planters, drills, bind
ers and threshers. Our efforts are
continually directed to the increase
OF our surplus farm product for
expectation, and as our grain,
meat and provision, when exported,
come in competition with foreign
Proiucts, it is of the utmost impor-
lance that Western farmers shall
nave cheap machines and imple-
ments to work with, so as to uuder-
sell foreign nations in the grain
and provision markets of Europe.
But our tariff, instead of encour~
aging the purchase of cheap ma
emery, positively forbids it. This
tarlf Ievles duty on the tools used
Doy the American mechanic; levies a
uuty on the machinery used by the
American manufacturer, and levies
duty on the implements and ma
chlnes used BIS the American farm
er; and all this is done, as is alleged
Iof the protection OF home industry
1t is true those manufactures en-
gagged in the making OF machinery
implements and tools are protected
out is true, also, that the:still lar
ger number of persons who buy anc
use machinery, tools and impie
ments are injured-and Senator
ueorge's bill proposes only to rem
cay this injury by repeating the du
tes on the agents of American man
u'actures, mechanics and farmers
ana allowing them TO purchase these
Instruments wherever you can ge
them cheapest.

In 4 recent issue of the ST. Louis
1ournaI of Agriculture we find,
from the pen of Bro. II. Eshbaugh,
Worthy Master of Missouri State
Grange, a narration of his expert
oncp as to this matter while on a
Iecturing tour in that State. He
says:
nMany of these meetings were
held in towns. But as usual; the
neople of the towns take but little
interest in agricultural gatherings.
AZ a general rule, while the meet
mos are held, business men are
verv busy reading newspapers,
looking over accounts, specializing
on future prospects, and getting
10 sell to the farmer Snything he
has money to pay for, This, of
course, deprives nearly all of them
from attending the meeting, either
in DAYTIME or .at night. And how
thew regret 1t! You know they
always do when talking to the
farmer!
ave have heard the expression
repeated at different places that
if the meeting was only at night,
instead ofin the day, they would like
TO attend. Then, if at night Jice
gersa; if the meeting was only in
the day instead of at night, then
they could easily arrange to go.
But experience has taught us that it
matters Little whether the meeting
is at night or in the day time, the
people of the towns, as a general
rule. care but little about attending
farmers meetings. They EVIDENTLY
do not want to know whether far
mers are prosperous or depressed,
nor whether they are Justly or I'M
Justly dealt with, and would doubt
less rather see the farmers struggle
along in ignorance as long as they
can.get share of the profits of what
they produce. Tie greatest interest
they take in the farmers, or in the
Grange, is to misrepresent the
Grange and mislead the farmer who
is silly enough to pay attention to
their advice. The fact is quite fire.
quently illustrated that in many of
our towns and cities the true Patron
and honest farmer gets but little
sympathy from business men, ex
cept so far as it can be turned to
the business mans advantage. Pa
irons should, in arranging for meet
ings, arrange to have them where
the most good can be accomplished.
The greatest good to the greatest
number should be the object in
view, irrespective of towns and
cities

give you figures to show | make
my system pay in other ways. What
| have said, however will give you
good general idea. The farmers
around me begin to see its advan-
tage. Several have tried my plan
and will testify to its good results.
My theory is summed up in a few
words. Cultivate small quantity
OF land and cultivate it we'll, raise
your own supplies and keep out of
debt. In my opinion this is the
truest secret of successful farming"

Lack OF Enterest

The Wisconsin Bulletin tells its
readers some of the reasons why
the cause of the Grange is dormant
in some localities and gives a word
of encouragement to the Order. 1t
saws:
''What is it causes the lack Of
interest manifested in SO many
Oranges at the present time? That
there is just as much need of active,
earnest work now as there has ever
been, none will pretend to deny.
Then, why isthe interest allowed
to flag and the Grange in many
localities to droop and die? The
reasons no doubt are obvious. In
some localities the Grange was or
ganized and members were induced
to join under the impression. that
great things were to be accom-
plished in very short time. Fail
ing to see the grand results they
so ardently expected at once, they
soon lose faith, their interest grad
ually weakens, and finally dies out
entirely. Patrons have got this to
learn, that it takes time to accom-
plish great ends. ssHaste must be
made slowly" is as true with the
"Grange movement as any other
undertakings of like magnitude
We know that the Grange is doing
great work for the education and
advancement of the farmers, but il
requires patience and perseverance
to continue and carry on the work

The Coming Airiisafe,

And now the General Passenger
Agents of the several railroads have
formed an association to take into
consideration the newspaper press
and determine what papers they
VIII extend advertising to: The
papers left out will make war, as
matter of course. The object of
the transportation companies is to
control the press. The anti mo-
nopoly cloud is becoming ominous,
and they are training for the storm.
They understand the value of or
ganization, and while to outward
appearance they are having a war
OF rates on through passenger traffic
they are quietly forming their inside
associations in order to bring the
press to their terms.
If the people, who believe in fair
play and republican form of gov
eminent, do not also organize and
be ready for the coming struggle,
they will be outmanpuvered, flank
ed and beaten. Every farmer in
the land should take this subject
home to his own heart. make it his
own cause and act as becomes a
man of intelligence and courage.
Progress has been made, but a just
and equitable administration of the
laws is yet desired. In Missouri
we must have a law which will
compel the railroad commissioners
to bring suit in the name of the
State for every violation of the rates
perpetrated upon shippers or trav,
elers. Face to the front, and stand
like men in defense of your rights.

In speech delivered in New
York City recently by Gen. Cary
he said that the Standard Oil mo-
nopol y declares a dividend of ST.
100000 month He said: "When
corporations bring their combined
power and influence to corrupt the
source of their existence and invoke
the departments Of the Government
to aid the cruel, wicked and damna
BILE work of enslaving the people:
when they seek to tax the bread,
the meat, the clothing, the tools,
the boots and shoes, school books,
fuel, lights and other necessaries OF
life; when their officers form rings
to rob the stockholders; when they
employ their ill-gotten gains to
control primary elections, and elect
members Of the Legislature, j dges,
Governors, Congressman and Pres
idents; when they become syndi-
cate to rob the farmer, the mechanic
and the manufacturer, the merchant
and the day laborer of their legiti-
mate profits, it is time to sound the
note of alarm and form leagues
offensive and defensive. It is a
notorious fact that the New York
Central Railroad presented a bill
against tha Erie Railroad for $50
600 as its share of legislative ex-
penses at Albany during a single
session. Monopolies, instead OF
serving the people, rob them. A
car load of milk can be shipped
from this city to st. Louis or Chi
cago and back again for less than
the price charged for bringing it
thirty miles to the metropolis. In
this way 81 100000 annually are
taken from the pockets of the milk
producers and consumers within
100 miles of this city. In like man
ner they rob the people of the price
| of coal and kerosene"
The General assaulted the Ma
tlonal bank monopoly as a giant
evil and was appIauded to the echo
by an audience comprising some oil
the leading business men of the
metropolis. On motion of Colonel
F. A. Conkling vote of thank,
was rendered to General Cary al
the conclusion of his powerful ad
dress. The great Ohio orator is
building up strong anti-monopoly
sentiment in the Empire State anC
branches of the National Anti-Mo
nopoly League are being daily
formed throughout the State.

The sale of foreign honey has
nearly doubled in Germany, in the
past four years, reaching an aggre-
gate equivalent to one. eighth of
the entire product of North Amer
lea. 1t is believed that, in a very
few years, Europe will eagerly con-
sumo our whole surplus product,
and seriously encroach upon the
portion required for liberal home
consumption. This will tend to
steady, if not increase, the price of
honey in our own home markets.
