Farming at the "Front."

Never before have there been so
many people of all classes taking a
strong, direct, personal interest in the
agricultural situation and prospects.
Business men, bankers, capitalists,
stock brokers, merchants, manufactur-
ers, operatives, and day laborers even,
are watching the bulletins and reports
of the weather, with especial reference
to how it is affecting the growing
crops. Never before have they seen
so clearly that farming is the real basis
of all other business, and that upon it
rests the prosperity of the country.
They now comprehend the fact that it
was the good crops of 1878, 1880 and
1881, from the export of which we re-
ceiyed SO many hundreds of millions Of
dollars from other lands, which changed
the financial depression of 1878, and
the years following, into a prosperous
activity extending through all branches
of trade and manufacture. Every extra
bushel of wheat or corn, or pound of
meat, cheese or butter that went to
market helped turn the scale. The
hundreds Of millions Of bushels
of grain that came from the in
terror to the seaboard, gave profit
able employment to the railroads.
These bought and psed more cars,
more iron, more steel, and the makers
of these, from bead director to the
lowest laborer, received more wages
and more constant employment, and
they purchased more freely those ar
ticles that 90 to supply the necessities
and comforts Of every day life. This
stimulated and increased the lnercan-
tile trade, and made heavier demands
upon all articles Of manufactured com
modities. The farmers who received
the proceeds were able to reduce debts
on their farms; to buy more and better
implements; TO pay PIP their store debts,
and to buy more freely from the mer-
chants. The merchants and shop keep
ers were in turn able to pay np their
debts TO wholesale houses, brokers and
m8pnfactpyes and importers, and to
buy larger stocks Of goods for cash or
on short credit. The carrying of these
goods increased the transportation bpsi-
ness, and stimulated The building of
five 10 ten thousand miles Of railroads
per year.
This brief glance at some leading
points shows the great and growing
influence Of prosperity TO farmers. on
The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1882-08-05

the other hand, the unfavorable winter
and spring and the summer drouths Of
1881 cut down the surplus wheat and
corn and meat and dairy products, and
cotton, many score millions in yalue-
This of course diminished exForts, and
has started gold abroad has de-
creased the ability Of farmers md all
classes Of workers, to buy goods and
manufactures. The decline in the do
mand for iron and steel, and the fall in
prices, prevent the payment Of wages
asked for, and there is now prevailing
one Of the greatest strikes z ever
known in this country, Of laborers who
demand higher pay to meet the in
creased cost Of living, due in part 10
the advaHanin breadstuffs, consequent
upon the lessened crops Of last year.
Is it any wonder that this state Of
things has opened the eyes and en-
lightened the understanding Of that
half Of the people who are not engaged
in agriculture, and who have hitherto
been inclined to look upon farming %
Of inferior Importance, and snited for
clodhoppersl Farming has come to
the front, and it will stay there.

II Doesn't Pay.
HawegyilIe (Kentackyl Demoerat.

HawesYille Kentucky Democrat
If there is any choice between the
disease of office-seckiug aud that Of
smallpox, We are inclined to think the
preference should be in favor of the
latter. Smallpox is not necessarily
fatal. 1t may leave a few physical
marks of its rayages-and with careful
treatment there is usually nothing
more serious. But with the disease of
office seeking, when it once " strikes
iD," there is no cure for it. 1t deyel.
opes into a sort of moral cancer for
which no remedy has eyer been dis
covered.
Under our changing system of Po-
litieal rule, which, in our local elee-
tiops especially, is too apt to. be a
mere struggle between the ins and the
outs for the crumbs of public patron
age, there is so little real satisfaction
in ofice-holding, that the wonder is
that any persons competent to fill
places of public trust, should aspire
thereto. They must needs surrender,
often, all private business, and forego
the advantages Of years Of application
to establish the same, in order to ae-
cept of little temporal advancement,
the tenure of which at best can be Of
but a few years duration. And then
they arc turned adrift to strike ont
anew and toll up the heights Of success.
But the worst feature Of this malady
is that it unsettles The victim, and
leaves him ever more untitled for the
ordinary business pursuits of life. He
has caught the dbee ip bis bonnet"
and there it will buzz to bis annoyance
foreyefmore.
TO the Young man liable to become
affected with the contagion of Office
seeking, we would say, begarel Shpn
all approaches to tue danger, as you
would the pathway leading to perdi-
ton. There is nothing ip it but ulti-
mate disappointment and bitterness. u
doesnist pay.
