Hiring Farm Help.

Where a farmer hires man for a def
mite term Of service, and for definite
rate Of wages, to do specified kind of
work, the contract is express. But where
the farmer simply requests the man to
work for him, and nothing is said about
the time or pay, or where the relation of
employer and employe is formed without
full and definite understanding, the
contract Is implied anei its lacking terms
or conditions must be supplied by law.
A contract Of hiring for one year or
less, need not be in writing If for more
than a year, it is not binding unless i'll
writing, and either party can terminate
the agreement at pleasure.
Express contracts. Where the hiring
is for a definite time, both parties are
bound by it until the time expires The
employer must furnish work, and the
employe must labor to the end If the
master discharges the workman without
legal cause before the time expires, the
workman will be entitled to his wages up
to the time of his discharge. and also
such damages as he has suffered by being
thrown out of bis job. These damages
will probably be the amount of the wages
up to the end Of the time of hiring, less
what the workman has earned or might
have earned at other employment. If
the workman leaves without legal cause
before his time is up, the great weight of
authority is that he is not entitled to any
compensation for the time that he has
worked, though several highly respect
able Courts have held that under such
circumstances he has the right to the
wages due him up to the time of leaving,
less the damages occasioned to his en-
ployer by his leaving. Ii. a. Haigh, of

tory of the origin, the necessity of the growth
of the Republican party, of the enormous de-
velopment of the country. of its industries, of
its population and wealth, under the rule of
that party, is sketched with master hand and
the necessity of its continuance in power is
made plain to the comprehension of every in
teigent and patriotic citizen" Senator Dawes
says: ''Gov Boutwell, has taken hold of the
work in earnest, and makes it plain why every
one who wishes well for his coontry should be
Il Republican" Representative Reed, of Maine
says: ''The volume is of the utmost value as
careful and succinct statement of those great
achievements of the Republican party upon
which its fame rests, and which are the best
foundation for confidence in the future Sen
ator Harrison, Of Indiana, writes: at is very
concise and very convincing. A perusa of the

enough, England contends Justify for the
superiority which centuries Of history,
her habits of thought, tastes, and the
perhaps too easy concessions of the
Americans themselves had led her to
assume but one after another the scales
are falling from her eyes. and she begins
to see at the West a broader horizon of
intellectual development than she can
discover in the United Kingdom. This
is an inevitable fruit of the existing sit
uation. Already the population of the
United States surpasses the English
speaking population of the entire British
Empire by more than fifteen millions.
Under this circumstance it would be
unreasonable to expect Great Britain to
produce even so many as half the men
distinguished in the different depart

philosophy. Our wealth too is begin
