AN APPEAL FOR AGRICUL-
TURE.

Mr.. VIM. Walter Phelps, in recent
address before the State Agricultural
Board, at Trenton, New Jersey, appealed
to his auditors to take the same interest
in fostering the science of farming as
they do now in patronizing other arts
and sciences. He made it apparent
that the United States are much behind
other countries in encouraging farming
as high science. While France spends
twenty millions, Russia fifteen and little
Sweden halt million, the United States
only made an outlay last year of s175,-
900 in helping an industry in which
eight out of seventeen millions of its
active workers are employed.
Mr.. Phelps says that with all the
cheap land of Southern Jersey, within
four hours of market, it is surprising
that there are but IS per cent. of farm
workers in the working population of
the State. Taking the cultivated with
the undeveloped-land in New Jersey
is worth more per acre than in any
other State, because of its position a as
feeder to the markets of the three most
populous cities of the Union. Hence
it is not surprising that the total gain
is large, and that "each man, woman
and child that tolls on a Jersey farm
earns $500 per annum," and that "each
of these toilers-if the capital of all
was equally divided-is worth more than
the average farmer in any other State" F"
Commenting on Mr.. Phelps's address
the Philadelphia LEDGER concludes that
the market price of food products to
the consumer must inevitably keep up
SO long as it is shown that the surplus
in agriculture is only eight per cent. OF
our total production. Without going
far-a-field to try the experiment of farm
ing, here are statements that should
certainly tempt any surplus Of labor in
the manufacturing market into the in
dustry of food-raising. A New Eng

In vigorous and manly letter, die
tated in his sick room, General Grant
has disposed of the stories that he had
large personal interest in the ratifica-
of the Mexican treaty. 1t was expressly
asserted that he was connected as a
partner with Mr.. Romero, the former
Mexican Minister at Washington, and
the story was evidently designed to de-
stroy the influence of General Grants
known approval of the treaty.

An Ohio Democratic explorer, has
made the discovery that Senator Elect
Payne's chances for the Presidential
nomination are on the wane. The rea-
son for this is said to be because the
Standard Oil Company, refuses to sup
ply the necessary lubricator, conse-
Quently the machine wont run and the
bar'l is empty.
The Cecil Whig., 1884-02-16

He has been elected United States
Senator for six years, and now Mr..
Payne, of Ohio, comes to the front and
defines his position in terms that, for
frankness and precision, are long way
ahead of anything in the Northern
Democratic line these many years. His
platform is simple: Give the offices
to the Democrats and let the tariff
alone. The new Senator informs his
Democratic friends that if they will let
the tariff alone they will get the Offices !;
and should they believe him and keep
their hands off, the Democratic plat
form would have but one plank-'good
offices for all Democrats" This is a
strong plank.

The GOODNESS of Senator Vest when
he pronounces "civil service delusion
and a snare in the hands of the Repub-
lican party, and intimates that in the
hands of his own party it would be an
eminently good and altogether satisfac-
tory institution, is truly refreshing" OF
course, the Senator and his fellow-pa-
triots of the Democratic party are in
possession of the entire stock OF hon
esty in the country.
