The Farmers and the Literary Reyolu-
fion

A recent issue of the american Ag-
ricuturist" contains some insinuations
rejecting upon the character of the
Useful knowledge Publishing Co,
of New York. They are insinuatlons
only, no direct allegations being made.
Their only foundation is malice and
fear, on the part of the Agriculturist
publishers. The average cost of books
published by The Useful knowledge
Publishing Company,in proportion to
their real value is less than one fifth
of the average cost of the agricultural
books published by the Orange Judd
Co. Within less than three years the
Literary Revolution" gave the
American people over one million
dollars worth of the choicest books the
country has ever seen; more in bulk
and in real value than Judd has given
them in q third of a century, and more
than he would have given them for
five million dollars. No class is abused
more abominably by the book pub
mer boy before I was publisher, and
know something of both sides.
twenty-five years ago L was a bare
footed boy, driving an ox-breaking
team through the bazel-brush and
prairie grass of Iowa, and reading
Grimshaws England" and "rhe
New York Tribune" between times and
by the freight at night, ana l got
there a little too much Of useful
Knowledge and of strength to allow
baseless slandcr to overthrow the enter
prise to which l have given my life
Judd shall realize his fear that the
Useful knowledge Publishing Co. will
publish agricultural books rs well as
other books, and it will not charge
81. 80 for book that does not cost 10
cts. to Manufacture. In response to
pressing and almost distressing calls
from all over the country, from far
mers, fsrners' boys and teachers, it
will also enter the field of cbool book
publishing presently, and we shall see
what will become Of the high prices OF
the rich and grasping publishers in
that field. The Useful knowledge
Publishing Company does what Judd,
aud no other of the Old-iine publisehrs
do, it sends its books to any part of the
United States and allows privilege of
examination before payment is reqnir-
ed. 1t supplies its agents with copies
of its cheap aud beautiful publications.
for distribution among their customers,
for examination at their leisure, and
allows the return of any books not
wanted. Specimen pages of its publ
cations, catalogues, and terms to club
agents, booksellers, and cauyassers
will be sent free upon request.

The Third Ticket.
CHAIRMAN GARRETT GIVES HIS VIEWS
sQUARELY ON THE SUBJECT.
1philndephia PresS.l

SOIJA REIN ON AAlA1 oU I'D NCT,
philadelphia Press.)
Philip G. Garrett, Chairman of the
Committee of one Hundred, who is
named as the probable nominee for
Governor by the Independent Conven-
ton of May "a, gave his opinion yester-
day of the result of the Harrisburg
Convention, and of his own possible
nomination. His opinion of the regu-
lar ticket was pronounced and en-
phatic. OF his own nomination he
was not inclined to speak, save to give
reasons why he thought he would not
be the strongest candidate to lead the
Independent revolt. Such revolt he
seemed to think certain, not against
General Beaver personally, but against
his nomination in obedience to the
dictation of Senator Cameron.
Mr.. Garrett was found at his estate,
Fairfield, :" on Fishers Lane, German
town. When asked to express him
self upon Wharton Barker's opinion,
published in yesterdays Press that he
would be made the head of third
ticket Mr.. Garrett settled his square
form aud gazed thoughtfully through
window across the wet lawn. II
think Mr.. Barker is mistaken, )" hesaid,
''in saying that the Committee of One
Hundred would favor my nomination.
Our position us Committee has always
been that we wished to keep free from
suspicion of personal motives. We
have no such motives, and our influence
upon municipal affairs depend upon
our not being even suspected of them.
On that very account we made it q
condition of membership that no one
of the Committee should hold impor-
tant Office, and that upon being elected
to such an office any member should
at once resign. 1t is not, therefore,
the intention of the Committee, cspec-
tally OF leading members, to take i'm
portant Office. For this and no other
reasons, l must say frankly that it
would be II mistake to nominate me-"
"What are the Other reusoAs?' Mr..
Garrett was asked.
~ believe in success, and l don't
believe in halfway measures" he re-
piled. II should suppose that the In
dependents had better either be salts
fled with the nomination of General
Beaver, or else endeavor to unite all
the element OF opposition against him,
if their conviction of his unhtness for
the nomination is sufficiently strong.n
you do not think, then. that your
name would unite all the forces Of Op-
position?'
1t certainly would not call the Dem
ocrats to the support of the Iniepen-
dent ticket. | do think, however, that
an independent nomination might be
successful. But one should try to put
any principles he may follow into
practical effect. II the Independents
are sure that Beavers success would be
a misfortune, should advise them to
make his defeat rs certain as they
cOuid.'

A GOOD NOMINATION.

COuIt.
A GOOD NOMINATION..
"Do yOuthink that General Beavers
nomination is in obedience to Senator
CanCrOn's authorityW
-. think that General Reaver's is a
! better nomination than would have
been got from Cameron if it had not
been for the Independent movement.
But his nomination is undoubtedly the
work OF Cameron, and Cameron's
nomination is certainly distas,eful to
the independents. They demand re
cognition. Their strength warrants
recognition in the nomination for Gov
ernor, but 1t has not been given.
Cameron has conceded only those
offices which he thought would have
the least effect upon his rejection to the
United States Senate, such as Con-
greSsman-at large and the Judgeship.
The concessions do not weaken his
power a5 the political dictator Of the
State
"You do not think the principles
agreed upon by the Conference at the
Continental Hotel are borne out in the
nominations
mo. The Harrisburg platform i 8
empty, and the ticket does not bear
out the principles of the Continental
Conference. Senator Cameron has al
ways worked against those principles,
and his ticket bears out his past policy,
the end being to retain his power, in
which President Arthur is helping
him all he can. The nomination is
part of the Stalwart movement of the
Administration, in so far as it is Il de-
fiance of the Independent movement.
That movement is against Cameron s
right to name a candidate beforehand
Now Cameron did name Beaver; so
that the question is not as to whether
Beaver is Il good man or not, but
whether Cameron is TO he allowed to
dictate nominations"
"Do you think the Independents
force will be broken by the minor
concessions made in the Harrisburg
tick ket?"
"The Independents are stronger
than ever l think that many more
will vote for a third State ticket than
voted for Wolfe. fl did not think
that more than fifty Thousand votes
would be mustered | should not advise
third ticket; but the Independent
strength has grown more than anyone
can definitely tell. President Arthur's
course in making every appointment
Senator Cameron asked for, notwith-
standing Senator Mitchell's opposi-
ton, has greatly sWelled the Indepen-
dent ranks and weakened Camernn's
hold on Republicans who have the true
interests of the party at heart. / have
in mind one glaring instance of this.
Some of us waited upon President
Garfield last year, and despite Senator
Cameron's opposition induced the
President to appoint Lucius Thomp-
son Surveyor of the Port of Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Cameron was away from
Washington, but he telegraphed to his
friends in the Senate that he was
opposed to the appointment, and the
Senate adjourned before confirming it.
But after Garfield's death Arthur ap-
pointed Nevin, who was Cameron's
man, and who was confirmed. The
Independents feel that such conduct
as this is scandalOus. President Arthur
is doing all that Guiteau wanted to ac-
cOmplsh-he has thrown his whole
weight squarely against Garfield's pol
icy and so far as this is felt in Pennsyl-
yania it has strengthened the Indepen-
dent movement"

The question of commercial and theatrical
