FARMING TO TIE FRONT.

Never before, says the American Agri-
culturist, have there been so many peo-
pie of all classes taking a strong direct
personal interest In the agricultural
situation and prospects. Business men,
bankers, capitalists, stock brokers, mer-
chants, mechanics, manufacturers, oper-
atives, and day laborers even, are watch
ing the daily bulletins and reports of
the weather, with especial reference as
to how it is affecting the growing wheat,
corn and oats, and the further planting
of corn. 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 1879, 1880 and
1881, from the export of which we re-
ceived SO many hundreds of millions of
dollars from other lands, which changed
the financial depression of 1873, and the
years following, into prosperous activ-
ity 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 mar
ket helped turn the scale. The hun
dreds of millions of bushels of grain that
came from the interior to the seaboard,
gave profitable employment to the rail-
roads. These bought and used more
cars, more iron, more steel, and the
makers OF these, from head director to
the lowest laborer, received more wages
and more constant employment, and they
purchased more freely those articles that
go to supply the necessities and COM

PRINCELY LIBERALITY.

The pension arrears act, says the New
York Herald, is the hole into which it is
now designed to pour one hundred mil
lions during the next fiscal year. How
monstrous this disbursement is for the
United States, especially when consid-
cred in connection with the estimated
appropriations for similar purpose that
will be required during the next four
years, may be comprehended by COM
parison with the whole military and
naval expenditures of other nations.
The Herald complies some of them in
round numbers from the statement of
"the annual cost of the armies and
navies of Europe" for the year 1881,
which has just been issued by the In
ternational Arbitration Association in
London.
Russia In 1881 maintained 1,005, 900
soldiers and sailors, and a navy of 224
vessels, of which 80 were iron-clads, at
a cost in all of one hundred and sixty
eight million dollars.
France maintained 53S, 900 soldiers
and sailors, and navy of 313 vessels,
OF which SO were iron-cIads, at cost in
all of one hundred and fifty-six mil
lions.
Great Britain and Ireland maintained
211, 900 soldiers and sailors, and navy
of 435 vessels, of which rs were iron
clads, at cost in all of one hundred and
thirty millions.
Germany maintained 1910 soldiers
end sailors, and navy of 81 vessels, of
which % were iron-clads, at a cost in all
of one hundred and eight millions.
Acknowledgements maintained 274, 900
soldiers and sailors, and a navy of 43
vessels, of which 10 were iron-clads, at
cost in all of sixty millions.
Our congress proposes to spend one
hundred millions i'll 1882 for military
and naval pensions alone; or thirty three
millions more than Austria Hungary,
and only eight millions less than Ger
many, thirty millions less than Great
Britain and Ireland, ffty-six millions
less than France, and sixty-eight mil
lions less than Russia, for the whole cost
of their gigantic military and naval es-
adjustments last year.

PROPERTY RIGHTS IN AMERICA.

A writer in the Popular Science
Monthly says: " While in England and
on the continent of Europe property is
much more unequally held than in Amer
lea, it is evident that there are forces at
work in the new world which are Great
old. Competent observers declare that
wealth is passing more and more into
the hands of the wealthy, the manners
of the wealthy class are improving-they
are gradually becoming an aristocracy in
all out name; and as the societies of the
older cities become more and more Gull
tivated, I think we may see large pro-
portion of wealthy families retaining
their possessions for generations as they
do abroad. Tt used to be thought that
the sons and erandsons of rich Ameri-
cans could be relied upon to give back
to the community their inherited wealth
through decentralization and incompe-
tence; but that reliance is proved base
less in a noteworthy proportion of cases
in New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
Fifty years ago the wealthiest man in
America had a fortune of ten millions,
let us say; now the wealthiest citizen of
the United States has a fortune esti-
mated at from 10 to Is times as much;
and the proportionate increase in the
extent of fortunes of the second and
third magnitude has been similar. Has
the wealth of the average citizen in
creased in anything like this degree :?
And such democratic social intercourse
as we possess has its dangers-the inter-
mingling in society in this country of
people comparatively poor with those
comparatively rich, implants in those of
restricted incomes desire to live expen-
sively, which would less often be the
case we're class lines as distinctly drawn
here as they are across the Atlantic.
The conquest of the weak by the strong,
which must date from the very dawn of
trade as from the first morning of life,
has been more remarkable than ever
within the last generation or two. Mod
ern business economy favors vast or
CARNATIONS which absorb feeble COM
petitors and convert men who were in
dependent principals into the servants of
a master-will, whether controlling an in
dividual finn or corporation"

A River Horror.

On the evening Of the 4th inst, the steamer
Sciota. with about five hundred passengers
from Pittsburg, Pa, collided with the John
LOOMS in the middle of the river opposite
Mingo junction, Ohio, sinking the Sciota in
fifteen feet of water, only the pilot-house be-
ing visible. The Sciota was coming mp the
river under full head of steam, and when about
half mile from Mingo Junction the Loomis
was sighted coming down. The pilot of the
Sciota Whistled for the channel, but owing to
misunderstanding, both boats took the same
side, the Loomis striking the Sciota and sink
ing her in fifteen feet of water in three minutes
from the tiae of the collision. The Loomis
was only slightly disabled and went to work at
once to save those on board the unfortunate
Sciota AS the Sciota began to sink the pas
sengers swarmed over the sides and soon the
water was filed with a mass of struggling
humanity. Skiffs from the shore went to the
rescue of the unfortunates. Great difficulty is
experienced in getting at the actual number
lost by tie disaster. At last accounts fourteen
bodies had been recovered. The list of the
missing numbers forty. Capt. Thomas, of the
Sciota, whose son was drowned, is insane from

WEDNESDAY, JULY IL, 1882.
DRINK IN GREAT BRITAIN.

In commenting on the budget recently
issued by the English premier, the New
York Herald says If John Bull would
sign the ironclad pledge he might abol-
ish the national debt and close half his
prisons during the next five years. In
temperance is an awful evil in this coun-
try, but it does not reach such proper
tions here as in Great Britain. Every
friend of the British people must rejoice
to know that they are beginning to drink
less. Mr. Gladstone showed that the
revenue from malt and spirituous bever-
ages was less than usual last year, be-
cause the British people drank less than
usual. There is need enough of their
drinking less. The cost of what they
drink is vastly more than the cost of
their government. In 1881 they paid
$685., 372, 300 for drink, which is $685.
OH, 300 more than the cost of the gov
eminent for the same time. Mr. Glad
stone lamented that but $50, 845, 900 was
paid during last year on the national
debt of So, 766, 671, 900, but during the
last decade the British people drank
liquor worth $3.50, 100000, or nearly
twice the amount of the national debt.
During 1881 they drank $40, 788, 564 gall
ons of beer and 67,670,741 gallons of
wine and spirits, which is more than 2759
of the former and two gallons of the lat
ter per capita of the 35, GAG, 633 popula-
ton. In the United States 571, 1856, 964
gallons of beer and 93,607,081 gallons
of wine and spirits were consumed dur
ing 1881, or little more than IL gall
Ions of the former and q of the latter
per capita of the SO, 155, 1888 population.
