ancient, the counselor, the captain of 80
and the honorable man. He selected
these words not so much for text as a
Characterization of the dead soldier.
Leaving to others more competent the
discussion of Gen. Grants achievements
in war and his deeds as ruler of the ma
ton. he proposed to consider that part of
him which was the basis of all-his man
hood. lie was soldier almost without
peer, statesman without stain, loyal
husband, DEVOTED father, firm friend /;
but he was these because he was a man
of courage, purity and honesty. The
Spartan law-giver said, ''What Sparta
needs is Il wall not of bricks, but of
men," and manhood is the wealth of a
nation as it is its defense in time of peril.
In the early ages of the world the stand
ard of greatness was strength. Sampson
in scripture and his neurological shadow,
Hercules, illustrate this. Ulysses discov-
ers himself by bending the bow which
had been unused so long because no one
but he could bend it. Agamemnon, king
of ships and men," and Achilles. "leadcr
of the long-haircd, brass-clad Greeks, -
show the characteristics of the age of
which Homer wrote, but the Had and
| the Odyssey have come to an age when
| the prize is accorded rather to the pen
that celebrated them than to the deeds of
arms. Grant was not chiefly soldier
but man and a man of peace, who loved
peace so that he could fight for it. States
and cities camor for the honor of his
grave. but what matters it? His sepul-
chrc is in the hearts of the people; the
winds chant his requiem amid our north
ern pines and the sombre MOSES that fes-
toon the live oaks of the South wave
mournfully to salute his memory. His
monument is the nation he helped to
save; his epitaph let him write himself;
its symbol shall be hands clasped whose
arms wear blue and gray; the legend,
LET us have peace" and over all the
land in death as in life he shall be heal
er of the people.

FARMERS IN Vermont are somewhat
discouraged at the prices offered for
their products. With wool at fifteen
cents. butter at fourteen cents, cheese at
eight and half cents and other products
in like proportion, it is all sunshine for
the non-pl oducer, but decidedly discour-
aging for the agriculturist.-AtJd ar
gus.
The foregoing is of kind with what
may be heard every day when two or
three farmers get together to talk over
the situation. But is the accepted view
the correct one? 1t seems to us that 1t
is not that farmers are generally quite
as well Off as they ever were, if they
would only look at the facts as they are.
The quotations given by the Argus are
substantially right; but low prices do
not necessarily mean poverty. The pur-
chasing power of the dollar is the stand
ard by which to Judge whether farm pro-
ducts are low or high. When calico is
five cents a yard a dollar is worth twice
rs much for the purpose of buying that
staple as when the merchant asks ten
cents yard for it; and the same is true
of the dollar that is applied to the pur-
chase of any of the thousand and one
things into which the farmer puts his
money. Now the point to be borne in
mind is that while the money value of
the farmers pound of wool or of butter
has declined, the things which he buys
also cost less money; and the deprecia-
ton has been about alike all around.
The obvious conclusion is that the farm
er is to all intents and purposes Just as
well of as when butter sold for 30 cents
a pound and wool at the same figure.
Clothing of all kinds, dry-goods, grocer
les, indeed almost everything commonly
bought for consumption on the farm is
fully twenty-five per cent less than it
was two years ago. Unwashcd wool
sold in this market then at 20 to % cents
to-day it brings from II cents up. exact
~ % per cent less than in lSS3. In
August, 1888, butter sold mt 10 cents the
same quality is worth II cents now, the
UlllCltHCt DClIlss IuSI dbpuJ - ISA VIM
On the other hand the cost of the leading
articles in dry-goods and groceries then
and now might be given to substantiate
the statement that it is % per cent less
now; but that is not necessary. Any
housekeeper can vouch for it. The main
articles of consumption were never so
cheap, owing to improvements in manu-
featuring processes. In 1850 or therea-
bouts butter sold at l. II cents, and the
housewife got yard of cotton for her
pound of butter; in our day she gets
more than two yards. There is a class
who feel poor, and with reason. Those
who are in debt, and have to meet inter
est and discharge obligations incurred
when money was plentiful, are in a
strait. For their uses a dollar is worth
no more than it was two years ago, or
ten. But outside this class, there ought
to be no cry of hard times.

A late Washington dispatch says that
since the election of Logan in Illinois
the mercury of republican courage has
gone up several degrees in the political
barometer, and there is Il good deal of
talk of fighting back if Mr.. Cleveland. in
obedience to party pressure attempts
wholesale removals in defiance of the
civil service rules. or under the thin
cloak of offensive partisanship." The
Evening Critic says it is creditably in
formed that the republicans have re-
solved to pursue the policy of refusing
to confirm appointments made on the
ground of offensive partisanship, also
to refuse confirmation in all cases
where efficient republicans are remov-
ed simply to make places for democrats
as rewards for partisan services. In
addition to this, some republicans pro-
pose to carry the war into Africa and to
insist that no democrats who have been
in any manner parties to gross and un-
just attacks upon Blaine and Logan
shall be confirmed.
