Some Census Statistics for the Farm

From the Speech of Hon. D. @. HASKELL of Kansas,
in the House OF Representatives, saturday, Janu.
airy ~ 1888, OH the DILL (H H. 1919 impose du-
ties upon foreign imports, and for other purposes
In 1910 the number of persons engaged in agrl-
culture was 3,717, $780, In 1880 the number was 1870
1875 population of the United States in $780, 1909
453; population of the United States In 1885, 5O155
1888.
1t will be seen that from 1910 to 1880 the number
OF persons engaged in agriculture had little more
than do~bled, While the total population OF the
United States from 1910 to 1850 had nearly trebed.
In other Words to simple fractions, in 1910
each farmer had of neighbors non producers Of
agricultural products, to buy his produce, Az per-
sons; in 1880 he had Al persons who were consum-
ers of his products enormous increase in de-
mand OF nearly per cent. Every farmer realizes
that supply and demand regulate the price Of his
products as they regulate all Others and he to-day
finds at home demand so per cent. greater for his
products than the demand Of 1870
Take another view Of this result Of Protection as
shown by the of $780, as against the Gstarif
for revenue Period of ls4O Had the nation been
remanded to the productions agriculture for sup
port to the same extent as it in iS4O, and had
the number of farmers increased as the total popu
lation increased, there would now be in the Uuited
States SOGA0O0 persons engaged in agriculture
than there Is. The careful attention of our farm
ers is called to this fact and leave them to answer
as to what effect the work and produce 3OOO 900 of
additional farmers would have upon the price of
farm products, when they take into consideration
a mdrket no larger than it nOwis.
Again, the condition of the country now as com
pared with 184 after nearly forty years of Protec
tive policy, is simply this

Mr.. Huntington's Plans.

The Cincinnati Commcrcaa1- Gazette, of The
23d Feb'y, mentions important negotiations
which Hon. G. P. Huntington is about con-
summating, or has already consummated.
With the vast system of railroads he is con-
trolling and seeking to control, the Chesapeake
q Ohio railroad will form an important con-
nection. We quote from the C0mnaercaa
Gazette.
There seems to be no end to the enterprise
and determination upon the part OF the Hunt
ington system. 1t is getting almost as formid-
able in the Southwest as the Gould system.
No sooner had Mr.. Charles A. Whitney (son-
in-law of the late Charles Morgan, President
of the Morgan Railroad and Steamship Com
pany, died, than had Mr.. Huntington set his
eagle eye upon the property with the view of
purchasing the vast railroad interest of which
Mr. Whitney was the manager. Since Mr..
WAitney's death, Mr.. Hutchns, a son-inlaw
of the late Mr. Whitney, became the President
and General Manager. The Morgan roads
formed the line from New Orleans to Calves
ton, toward Mr.. Huntingtons system west of
Ell Paso. 1t was thought at the time Of Mr..
Whitney's death that Mr.. Gould would be the
purchaser OF the Morgan roads, and was so
printed in the columns of the Commercial
Gazette. II appears, however, that Mr.. Gould
could not or did not want to buy the property.
1t is not generally known, but only few
days since the sale OF the Houston and Texas
Central was confirmed in New York, where
the negotiations had been pending. The road
extends from Houston north to Denison pass
ing through some OF the best portions OF the
Lone Star State. 1t may not be at all improb-
able TO hear at an early date of the sale OF the
entire Star and Crescent and Sunset routes 10
Huntington, thus giving TO the system an in
dependent route from New Orleans to El
Paso, there connecting with the Southern
Pacific and extending the Huntington roads
from the Crescent City to the golden shores Of
the CALIFORNIA;. The new acquisition will, in
a few days, pass into the control Of the new
company purchasing.
The price paid for the roads Mr. Huntington
is said to have purchased, is stated at SIS
100000.
In reference to the plan of Mr.. Huntington
the Boston Commercial Bulletin remarks that
if the bill now before Congress to consolidate
the Southern Pacific and certain other rail
roads passes, the hope OF great railway line
from the Atlantic to the Pacific under one
management will probably be realized. The
line would be as follows: Southern Pacific,
San Francisco to FL Passo, Tex, 1856 miles
Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio, El
Paso to Houston. about $50 miles; Texas aud
New Orleans, Houston to Vermillionville,
La 217 miles; Vermillonville TO Baton Rouge,
uncompeted, about so miles Mississippi Val
ley, Baton Rouge to Memphis, Tenn, uncom-
pleted, about $50 miles Chesapeake, Ohio
and Southwestern Memphis to Louisville, KY
392 miles Chesapeake and Ohio, Louisville to
Newport News, Va, 654 miles. Total niles
already completed, 3 400 miles.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,

WASHINGTON, D. q. January 70, 1888. !
This petition of Col Geo. w. Getty, 4th Artillery
brevet Il aor-g general U. s. Army, is most respect
fully forwarded to the Honorable Secretary of War
with an earnest recommendation that he Will for
ward copy o each of the two Houses of Congress-
with such favorable recommendation as will COM
mand the attention OF that body. On the "a day OF
October 1885, Gen Getty will be "a years of age and
by existing law, Will be retired ON tnfee1ourtnS OF
the pay proper OF colonel His petition recites In
detail his honorable career OF service In the
Army of the United States continuously since the
year 1866 and 1t happens that am able to verify
from memory nearly every fact therein set FORTH
and as we were classmates at West Point, and have
from time to time been associated ever since, ask
the privilege not only endorse his petition, but
to add my own that this act of simple justice may
be encouraged to initiate his example.
George Getty, as boy and man, dhfough long,
eventful life has been a model gentleman and sol
der of unexceptionable habits OF superior tntel-
gence and high professional requirements He has
always been sele ted In and peace for high and
responsi BILE commands. Modest to fault, he has
never pushed himself forward into undue promi-
nence, but done we'll all that he was appointed
do and has always been sought for by his seniors
for parts requiring high qualifications and PROBES
siona1 excellence. He has commanded divisions in
battle, departments districts in peace and is now
serving on his brevet rank of major general.
1t does seem to me unfair that great nation like
the United States should compel colonel TO do the
work of major general on the pay OF colonel
through years of life and When age brings Its nat
uraI intirmity to turn him out on the diminished
pay of his lowest rank. 1t would seem more just
to meet these exceptional by general law,
but as Congress reserves to itself to with these
cases, respectfully represent that the princi-
pies of common Justice seem to demand that Gen.
Getty should during his few remaining years, have
for the support of himself and of his dependent
family the retired pay of major general. Even
this will fall far short of compensation for the labor
and and responsibility imposed on him by superior
authority In exactng from him the work Of ma
jor- general on the pay of a colonel,
W.T.. SHERMAN, General.
The Secretary of War has sent the petition to
Congress.
