a Farmer on Farmers.

\ Texas correspondent of Home and
Farm says he reads with pleasure certain
articles of correspondents of that journal,
and it makes him smile to watch them
trying to solve the gigantic problem of
how to farm successfully in the South.
One saws cotton and another says
''corn," both rearing beautiful columns of
figures to show how their respective
crops will ''pan OUT He has noticed
that all crops do well on paper.
The figures prove it to
perfect demonstration, and
figures don't lie," but when the real
crops were gathered they wouldn't ''pan
OUT according to tie paper ones. Their
thousand acres each of corn and
cotton make splendid shOwings on
paper, but let them plant, go
through all the yicissitudes to which
crops are subject, such as too much wet,
too much dry weather, bad stands, frosts,
winds. worms, stock breaking in, and
other ills, and when they harvest they
too, viii realize that figures serve admi-
rably for the purpose of calculation, but
when made the basis OF a crop, prove la
inevitable failures.
Our failure in farming in the South
comes not from what we plant, nor Is the
detected condition Of the masses the result
Of this or that being grown, or this or that
system Of growing crops, but from their
occupying the wrong position in the
social economy. According to natu-
raj laws it is evident that the
producer should, OF right, control his pro-
auctions. and dictate to the buyers, the
trades and professions, who must have
them in order TO live, the terms of their
sale. But this natural order Of things is
reversed. Instead Of being the dictator
he is dictated to. Like Esau, who sold his
birthright for a mess Of pOttage, he
has given up his glorious privilege ID
the middle men who tempted him with
the bright alIurements of luxury. OF
right farmers ought to be the
prOudest Of mankind, because they oc-
cupy the most worthy position-but they
have become the most abjeet-nO longer
lords Of the land, but poor tillers of the
soil for anOther's benefit. What has
brought this state of things about? The
credit system. Pause, farmers, and re-
meet upon IL. IL has Dtcn lOn5 pIdCtlCeu,
handed down from father to son, until at
last it has engulphed the farming masses,
and creditors, like huge vampires, hover
over and around them while a drop Of
blood remains.
The remedy is very simple and easy, if
men could only be brought TO see it. The
natural order of things must be restored
and farmers must resume their independ-
ence. But before they can do this they

Thc Presidential Contest.

Figuring on the probabilities Of the
Presidential election next year has now
begun actively, and the results Of the re-
cent State elections have been so undeci-
siye that there is left considerable room
for difference of opinion on the subject.
Arranging the States known to be Ell
Their Democratic or Republican in two
lists with the number of their electoral
votes placed opposite to each, will leave
the balance OF power in the hands OF three
or four States that can be fairly cOnsid-
cred doubtful.
The States that can be reasonably ex-
pected to select Democratic electors are:

Total So.
To secure the Presidency the Demo-
Gratis will have to get "a votes from the
States we have classed doubtful. If the
Democrats carry New York, her SO votes
will decide the matter. If the Repub-
Iicans carry New York. the Democrats
will have to seek these "A votes elsewhere.
The other States we have classed doubt
full cannot bring up the requisite number.
The Democrats, however, have a fight
ing chance in Ohio; at least it will
paw them to contest that State
hOtly. SO as to in some measure keep
the Republicans from concentrating the
sinews OF war (soap) on New York. Were
it not for the gigantic efforts the Repub-
hcans will make to save their sinking
party. New York might be almost as
safely counted in the Democratic column
as Georgia. 1t is now a Democratic State,
and nothing but the grOssest mismanage-
ment or treachery can put it on the other
side. Ohio might reasonably be put in
the doubtful list, thus leaving the Repub-
licans certainty Of only 145 votes.
The coming contest will likely be one
of the closest yet made, except, perhaps,
that Of 1876 The Democrats stand de-
cidedly on vantage ground, and if a strong
ticket is selected and the campaign con-
Quoted vigorously and intelligently, they
will be sure to win; and they may posi-
bly, win without New York, which State
now seems to hold the balanceof power.
