Congress, just before expiring,
saved itself from disgrace by passing
the bill to place General Grant on
the retired list. The fact that this
great soldier is now suffering with a
fatal disease has warmed the heart OF
the whole country toward him. The
mistakes and disasters of his recent
career are forgotten, and he is remem-
bered only as the soldier who led the
Union armies to victory, and who re-
stored the Union of the States. 1t is
proper that the old hero should die
in the service and wear the uniform
of the Union army. 1t can only be
for little while at best before he
fills soldiers grave. This is the
feeling now of the popular heart, and
it is gratifying that at the last it
found expression in Congress.

there is no country in the world titst
can produce cereals cheaper than the
United States. Because of high
prices, however, the production of
wheat was stimulated abroad, as the
production Of cotton was during the
war period. But America is again
master of the cotton Market, as it
soon will be again master of the
grain market. England cannot af-
ford to produce wheat at thirty-one'
shillings a quarter !; nor can India or
Russia. 1t would have been better
for England if it had purchased two
bushels of wheat from the United
States where it bought one from our
harvest of 1884. That would have
given employment to our railroads..
and other industries would have been
stimulated to an extent that would
have caused larger importations
from Europe. and thus the reaction
would have been generally favora-
BILE. England is trying to be indie.
pendent of this country in the mat
ter of food, and in this direction it
has sacrificed other interests. and still
it is not independent, 1t has secured
cheap food temporarily, but at the
same time it has crippled its indus
tries to the extent of disabling those
who eat.
And there is now an indication in
this country of a falling off in the
supply of wheat. Returns show that
there is in the states that grow win
ter wheat an average decrease in the
acreage of twenty per cent. This
foreshadows, even with a favorable
season, shortage in the next har-
vest, Already this is having its eff
feet upon the markets in this coun-
try. There has been an advance of
several points in our markets in the
price of wheat, and this is strength
ening the value of wheat in the Eng
lish market, for England, notwith-
standing all her efforts, is still a
heavy buyer ofcereals and must nee
essariIy so continue,-BdItO. Ameri-

All discussion as to their fitness for

The Washington Sunday Capital

Colquet, of Georgia, and a pleased

saw finer procession. None that [
was better pleased to see,' said the

The Condition of the Trade of the
Country.

The annunication made at the end
of february of the condition of the
exports and imports of this country
for the five months preceding was
received with establishment and graf
iticatiOn by business men in every
direction, as il eyinced a state of sta
bility and real prosperity unprece-
denied in our history. 1t is shown
by the statistics that our exports to
foreign countries amounted to $780,
100000 worth of produce over and
above theimpOrts, and notwithstand-
ing the great fears which have of late
been entertained for fear the silver
coinage would endanger the gold cur
rency, yet of this amount of products
thus sent away, we have received
$50, 100000 of the latter, and the bal
ance, say 100000 in bills of ex-
change, which can be turned into
gold at any time. This result is be-
lieved to be unparalleled in the histo-
ry of the country, and it is the more
remarkable from the fact that during
the period embraced the apparent
condition of the country was deemed
peculiarly depressed. The vast
amount of our exports consisted in
the products Of the soil, and shows
that whilst we have a home market
for our wheat and corn, our beef and
mutton, for our cotton and rice, to
supply the necessities of fifty-fye
millions of our own people, we have
supplied hundreds of millions of dol
lars worth of these products of our
farmers to feed and clothe millions of
the subjects of foreign governments.
1t has all along during the past few
months been urged upon the bust
ness community of the country that,
notwithstanding the change in the
administration of the government, it
was out of the question for any act of
legislation to be passed which could
materially change the percent status
of trade, as, with a protectionist SEN
ate for two years at least, and a
House of Representatives so divided
that it is not likely any action could
take place there which would inter-
rupt the established policy of the
government for the last twenty years,
yet the mere fear, or supposed uncer-
tainty of a change, has had a most
deteriorating affect upon many of
our manufacturing interests. AS re-
marked at a meeting last week in
Brooklyn by Gen. WOolford. of New
York, in reply TO free trade speech
of Prof, Sumner: $50 far as the
present business depression is con.
cerned, l believe that it is due to the
constant threats of free traders, and
the fear of manufacturers and the inn
porter of radical changes in the tariff
system. Stop agitation and prosper
ity will reign. If this country could
have anything positively stable and
settle its financial and commercial
legislation-if we could have one
system continuously within twenty
five years Americans would control
the manufactures and business Of the
world"

In connection with the subject of

In connection with the subject OF
farmers conventions, immigration
&C., and more particularly in answer
to request from the Secretary of the
Farmers Convention of the State OF
Maryland, which met at Baltimore
IN February, DIR. Glotfelty, of Acct
dent, sent the following communica-
ton, which we extract from the col
umns of the american Farmer, pub
fished in Baltimore. DR.. Glotfelty is
a regular contributor to the columns
of the An1eric01e Farmer, and has
been very earnestly endeavoring to
place the advantages of Garrett coun-
ty as a farming and fruit growing
region before the people of the State,
The general idea of Garrett county
has been that nothing but a little
buckWheat will grow here, and that
our people are behind the rest of the
State agriculturally, which we are
not.
"We sadly need a revival of agri-
cultural interests. Conventions prop
erly directed and attention directed
thereto by means of papers, reports,
&C., will do very much good and will
receive at all times my hearty sup
port and cooperation.
If the State Convention will organ
iZe permanently, authorize the for
nation of county societies and rep
resentation, ETC., and Withal "mean
business" no doubt, untold good will
result.
In regard to immigration, it is the
one paramount issue. We are retro.
grading, depreciation of real estate,
etc.. owing to want of buyers and
removal OF old settlers, is coming to
be serious question. We have
thousands of acres here in Garrett
alone, good productive land, good
water-power near, good markets,
etc., but are sadly wanting a0orkers.
hope the convention may find
time to consider some of the follow
ing questions, all of great impor-
lance. to Garrett county, at least.
And | also hope some means may
be employed to bring the same home
more directly to our farming COM
munities.
l. That State Experiment Sta
tion is one of the needs of the State.
2. That permanent exhibit of
the States resources would do much
to encourage emigration.
3. That Botany and Chemistry
are Of more practical use in our ru-
raj schools than Grammar, Geometry,
etc, and should be substituted for
them in thecurriculum prescribed by
the State Board of Education.
4. That more energetic means be
taken to secure organization of coun-
ty societies.
5. That the timber interests of the
State be fostered by all means in our
power.
6. That we shall by all honorable
means discourage or prevent the sale
of humbug fertilizers and agricultu-
raj implements to the farmers of the
State.
7. That we recommend the for
nation of Village Improvement So
cieties, Horticultural Societies, &C.,
&C., under the general name Of.
