I'm this little building ia made OF corn that
costs % cents aud OF cotton 20 per cent less
than in England. No money has been spent
Tor transportation; aud the money spent for
wages and insurance has been spent at home.
That little mill was the beginning OF new
era for the neighborhood. Other industries
followed after this.
Now, the weak who cannot work outdoors
get employment indoors; and those who
are skillful, but not strong, use their skill.
Labor ar skill are put to the best use.
Meanwhile, the farmer finds a larger market
for the simpler productions, the grain and
the cattle, with which he began his work;
but finds greater advantage in a market
which can consume fruits, poultry, vegeta-
bles, ETC., So that he can now start upon that
varied production which is the surest source
OF agricultural wealth. And the variety of
industries here ipaugurated-for with
the mill comes the grocery and other
lrade-tends 10 produce that balance between
the consumption and distribution and pro-
duction which is the surest pledge of the states
growth aud prosperity.
An objection urged to this view is that at
the beginning, at least. the foreign article of
manufacture can b. sold cheaper than the
native, and the foreign manufacturer is
willing to take the corn, and the cotton and
the wool in exchange. True, hut The foreign
manufacturer cannot take the egg, the
chicken. the vegetable. the hay or the pota-

churches and to pay the taxes. These
are all left to the farmers themselves.
Besides the former knows that the foreign
articls Will not long be che aper. He has
found this cut In a hundred cases. The
superior qnickness of the American artisan,
the superior Ingenuity of the American mind
in devislng labor saving inventions almost
invariably brings such a result. He looks
around him and sees that al eady nearly
everything made at home, that he uses, is
cheaper than in England. Cotton fabrics,
the articles most generally used for all pur-
poses in the Americ IN farmhou:es are found
on The shelves of the English shopkeepers.
Boots and shoes are cheaper, aud the Eng
lish already import some of ours. Our
forks are cheaper ard the English by them,
as they do our axes and our reapers. The
American farmer would lose if be had to
buy a3y English tools or implements. He
can buy here wagons carts and carriages
cheaper than in England. Furniture is not
a small item In the well kept house
of the American farmer and our fur
niture is at least 10 per cent. cheaper.
So are clocks and watches, tinware, wooden
ware, and the common glass used by the
palmer house wIfe--all these are cheaper.
Every manufactured article is cheaper.
Every Manufactured article is cheaper to-day
In the United States tnan it was thirty
yens ago. Then 90 per cenr. were made
abroad, now less than 10 per cent The
farmer may well follow the lead Of such ex-
perience.

HARMONIzING CONFLICTING In.


The harmonizing of antagouistic in
terests is highly ~commendable. To
this Important end, a call has beeu is
sued for the assembling, in mass con-
yention on May 21st., next, in the city
of Chicago, of people engaged in indus
trial pursuits throughout the length
and breadth OF our common union.
The object of this movement centers
in the desire for the organization OF a
National Industrial Congress to con-
slider the wants. necessities and condi-
ton of the industries of the country to
the end that those who must live to-
gether should dwell in harmony. The
call for the meeting is signed by repre-
sentatives of both labor and capital,
and is an apparent effort to bring the
two elements, labor and capital, into
due harmony. The fact is forcibly set
forth that Notwithstanding that pro-
duotion in a few branches is overdone,
goods to the amount of nearly one thou
sand millions arc annually imported,
the great bulk Of which might be pro-
daced and manufactured in this oun
try, thus giving employment to both
capital and labor hat are now idle and
comparatively useless. All efforts OF
this kind, 30 mutual In their bearings,
which seek to extend the power and
usefulness of both American capital
and American labor is much more to be
commended than the senseless systems
of lock-outs and strikes which are so
prevalent in the present day. If one
or several forms of production are over
done, capital and labor should be en-
couraged to embark in enterprises that
are not overdone, and If a National In
dustrial Congress-, or a dozen such con-
crosses, will enable the laborers and the
capitalists to work in harmony to this
end, by all means let them be held and
much good may they accomplish. The
results OF the conference will be await
ed with a great deal of interest, espec-
tally by those who desire to find a way
out OF difficulties, which, at times, seem
really insurmountable.

People in tho Moon.

A most wonderful announcement
has just been made. by Professor
Blendman, a celebrated astronomer at
Berlin, of a discovery, lately made by
him, at the Astronomical Observatory
i'm that city. The Professor has found
beyond a doubt, that our old friend,
the moon, is not a mere lantern which
kindly furnishes light for the loving
youth and gas companies of our planet
but the abode of living, intelligent be-
ings, for which he is prepared to fur
nish proofs most convincing.
This question has agitated humanity
from time immemorial, and has been
the object of the greatest interest.
But the opinions have always DIFF
fered widely, and ne two minds held
,one and the same. Already, in an.
cient tines the belief prevailed that
the moon was inhabited with some
higher erganized, intelligent beings,
somewhat resembling man, and in i0r.
der 10 communicate with them, the
earthly enthusiasts planted trees of
several miles in length so as to form
the figure Of the Pythayorean theorem.
The celebrated astronomer Schroeder
in the beginning of the present cent
ury, fancled that he could Detect
places ON the surface ,of the moon
which periodically grew lighter and
da, ker, and from this fact he derived
the conclusion that the phenomenon
WAS proof of existing vegetation.
Durin the last few decades. however,
the idea of life on the moon has been
held up to risIicule, and totally
scorne,i by men of learning. But
nevertheless, it has now been proved
to be correct.
By accident, DR.. Blendman found
that the observations of the moon
gave very unsatisfactory results,
owing to the intensity of the light
mower ofthe moons atm osphere, which
Is so strong that it affects the correct.
ness of the observations in a sery
hlrb degree. He then conceived the
idea to make the object glass of the
refractor less sensitive TO the rays of
light, and for that purpose he dark.

THE CHURCHYARD BY THE SEA.

Across the waste Of years see
One spot forever soft and green,
Which shrined within my memory,
In evening glow or morning sheen,
Tells of the golden, vanished years,
When smiles came oftener far than tears.
A churchyard by the restless sea,
Where, in deep calm and dreamless sleep
The dead lay resting peacefully,
Unheeding the tempestuous deep;
Careless alike of sun and breeze,
Or ebbing of those changeful seas.
And Oft when shipwreck and despair
Came to the little sea-boat town,
Pale women, with disheveled hair,
uo the wild shore went hurrying down,
And tenderly dead eyes wonld close,
And smooth dead limbs for long repose.
Full many weary, storm.tossed wight,
Year after year, IN quiotwas laid.
Safe nom the clustering storms of night.
In this green spot, and dundismayed,
Slept close beside the breakers roar
Whose wrath should mar his rest no more.
And over each housekeeping head,
Where thy my turf grew green and soft,
The wild bee hummed, androsy-red
The brier flower boomed, and up aloft
The feecy clouds went drifting by
The shades, across the Summer sky,
And ever as the years go by,
And one'by one old memories creep
From out the sweet past solemnly,
seem to see 'besideth deep,
That little, lonely, silent spot,
With many childish dream cnwrought.
