HERE are some interesting facts for
farmers: The population of the U. s,
in 1880 was 5O,155,7S3. Of these there
numbered 1894, ,176 children under 1C
years old, that are not considered work
ers. Of17 ,392,O99, a little over one-third
of the total population, Ia, ,942 are
male, and 2,647, ,l57 female workers. OF
these, 1870, ,493 are engaged in agricul-
ture, or AL per cent. of all, while 4, !
O74, ,23S are in professional and personal
service. Arkansas furnishes the largest
per centage of farmers, S3.1, and Massa-
chusetts the smallest 9per cent. Georgia
has the greatest number of agricultural
workers, 49,, ,2O4, Wyoming thesmallest,
1859. The estimated value of all farm
productions sold, consumed or on hand
in 1880 amounted to $2,212, SAC, 1927, or
the sum of $2SS.45 per capita. From
1870 to 1880 the relative number Of farm
laborers has diminished, while the pro-
portion of proprietors has increased.
The laborers numbered 1855, 1896 in 1870
and 3,323,S76 in 1880. In 1870 there
were 2966,711 farmers, and in 1880, A.
225, ,945. Up to 1880 there were $500
female agricultural workers, a large pro-
portion of which are colored people in
the South.

Another Monopoly Doomed.

Rochester Democrat Chronicle, May 49,
The arrival of the Faraday at Rock
port, Mass, with the American end of
the Bennett -Mackay cable is an event
ofconsiderable Importance. 1t does not
attract as much attention as it would
have done twenty-five years ago.
Ocean cables have become quite COM
mon, eight having been laid across the
Atlantic before the Bennett-Mackay
cable. The eight are under the control
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, and have constituted an oppres-
sive monopoly. 1t was to break this
monopoly and to give the people cheap
ocean telegraphy that the Bennett
Mackay enterprise was undertaken.
When it is remembered that the Gould
cable monopoly has been charging fifty
cents per word, including date and sig
nature, it is possible to apprecite in a
measure the freedom with which the
public has been bled. Had not compe-
tition sprung up in the shape of the
Bennett Mackay enterprise there is no
Knowing how long this bleeding pro-
cess would have been continued. There
is no doubt that when Mr.. Gould
created his monopoly he did not dream
of any competition. He thought with

The Chicago Convention.

The Republicans ofthe country occu-
py Chicago this week. Mr.. Howard
Clayton, of Arkansas, was made tenn
porary chairman of the convention, al
though his selection could not be made
unanimous, which is another indication
that all is harmony with the Republi-
cans(?)
When the convention assembled Tues
day morning there was disposition to
60 back upon the Committees temporal
ry chairman, Clayton, and no sooner
had the body been called to order when
the music harmony commenced in
true Republican style, and the name of
John r. Lynch, of Mississippi, was an
nounced as substitute for Clayton.
Then the animals began to howl and
claw and vote was taken amid a wild
and most disgraceful scene. The vote
stood Lynch 432, Clayton 1856. The
Blanites claimed Clayton and the
Arthurites Lynch. Ohio delegation
voted % for Lynch, and % for Clayton.
Lynch is Mississippi mulatto.
At the hour of going to press,
"Wednesday afternoon), all was excite
ment and confusion at Chicago, with
the prospects of not coming to ballot
for Presidential candidate until to-day,
Thursday.
Blaine and Arthur are both confident
of nomination, while those opposed to
either of them, together with a large
following from the ranks of both Arthur
and Blaine, have dark horse in groom
in the person of Gen. Sherman, whom
they expect to nominate at an oppor-
tune moment and carry him through
with stampede. It's little gauzy,
but may win as last resort for keeping
the old rotten hulk from going to pieces
in convention. If Sherman is nomin-
ated the bloody shirt and sectional hat
red will be the Republican emblems of
the campaign.

ricks for President and Vice President,
and upon which a sweeping majority of
the popular and electoral vote was OBJ
tanned in 1876:

"We denounce the present tariff lev
led upon nearly 1000 articles, as a mas
ter-piece of injustice and pretense. 1t
yields dwindling-not a yearly rising
revenue. 1t has impoverished many
industries to subsidize few. 1t pro-
hibits imports that might purchase the
products of American labor. 1t has de-
graded American commerce from the
first to an inferior rank on the high
seas. 1t has cut down the sales of
American manufactures at home and
abroad, and depleted the returns of
American agriculture-an industry fol-
lowed by half of our people. 1t costs
the people five times more than it pro-
duces to the treasury, obstructs the pro-
cesses of production, and wastes the
fruits of labor. 1t promotes fraud, fOs-
ters smuggling, enriches dishonest Off

When you poke the end of your fin

your fingers, which is the fact, as any

them up with other substance. Try it,
and think what a wonder of machine
your body is that even the points of
your fingers are such busy workshops

ses in the way of salaries, labor, etc.
The total bonded debt of the Wabash is

much different manner than what it
now is. With every sccceeding execu-
ton this is becoming apparent. A
change must be inaugurated, if for moth
ing else, than the good of society. For
weeks past the entire populace of the
three or four counties adjoining Henry
have been in state bordering on de-
moralization over the approaching
doom of the murderer johnson, and
what has been true in this case, is also
true in other vicinities, under similar
circumstances. Nothing else has been
the topic of conversation for days past,
and its depressing effects can scarcely
be estimated. These scenes should be
removed, as far as aspossible, from out the
midst and minds of the public. A law
should be enacted that would remove
criminals under sentence of death to
the State prison, and have the execution
take place within the walls of the peni-
tentiary. Not onlywould such course
relieve the communities of their de-
moralizing and depressing effects, but it
would relieve the taxpayers of numer-
Gus burdens. The hanging of Bach cost
Wood county 81 800, and the execution
of Johnson will cost Henry county at
least $4,000. All this could be avoided
by change in the law, and it is time
