Journalistic Charity.

The life of a journalist is hard one, and, although t is not so trying as the life of newspaper man, it is full of trials and perplex ities. If newspaper men and jour nalists did not stand by each other 1 do not know what joy they would have. Kindness for each other, gentIeness and generosity, even in their rivalry, charactenze the conduct of a large number of them.
 l shall never forget my first op portunity ;o do kind act for a fellow newspaper man, nor with what pleasure 1 availed myself of it, though he was my rival, especi- ally Tn the publication of large and spirited equestrian hand bills and posters. He also printed a rival paper and assailed me most bitterly from time to time. Hts. name was Lorenzo Dow Pease, and we had carried on sn acrimonious warfare for two years. He had said that l was a reformed protectlonist aud that 1 had left a neglected wife in every state in the Union. l had stated that he would give Deltsv

six animals following were likewise brought, one after the other, down on top of him, The result was that riders and horses lay writhing in a heap, and terrible injuries were inflicted on all the jockeys. The race, of course, was never fin. ished, and when the riders were extricated from the struggling mass they were nearly all insensible from broken arms, legs and ribs. One jockey named Mckenzie died shortly after the affair, and it will be g long time bsfo4e the others are restored.
 Cattlemen should not quite yet be too much elated over the recent advance made in the price of fat cattle in the eastern markets. This is but an indication of a bet. ter day for the cattle producer. Some very decided charges must yet occur before the product of the range producer of beef will be favorablY adeoted. The demand for our steer product will undoub. tedly be good during the coming fall months, For such portions of it as are fit for the feeders use. .ssGrass cattle, it must be remembered, aIe not yet in such scanty numbers that we can expect much apprecia. ton of values in this class. The tendencies, however, for a much better future fer the cattle ralsers are now in the right direction. Those who have held op the past year or two can surely stick to the business until marked improve ment comes as the industry of cat tie raising everywhere will be a most profitable one. That tune is surely coming.-Stock Grower,

Corr, N. c., Nov. 81, '88.

OOrr, ~. ". WV. ~ ~
Suppose our government should
loan, at one per cent, all the money
each person wanted who could give
ample security; this oar to be paid in
one year or fifty years, or at the pleas
ure of the person borrowing. Is it
not proper to loan to each individual
instead of loaning to bankers, which
is class legislation. To accommodate
the farmer and backwoodsman could
not three commissioners at each county
seat be appointed to discharge the
duties as to the safety of each loan as
honestly as bankers now do who
monopolize the loans at 6 to Is per
cent. profit for themselves instead of
the interests of the people? Should
not all the money of our nation be
furnished by the government and
under it's control as we'll as the post
Offices and our postage stamps ? Could
it not be done as honestly and as
safely? Would not the farmers now
crushed down with mortgages at high
rates of interest all over the country,
shake off their shackles and stand up
as men freed from the worst of slavery;
would not the interest at n per cent.
Justify the government for each and
every expense incurred in such loans
for the welfare of the whole people in
stead of farming out the money to
bankers as a class for them to re-loan
to the people for their own private ad-
vantage and gain, as the bankers have
thus far, as a class, had all Of these
advantages, is it not right that each
Individual be treated alike in this
matter in the future e?
I will endeavor to show you from
the interest table how it increases:
500 at 6 per cent. with interest COM
pounded annually for fifty years,
amounts to $l,S42; at 8 per cent,
81, 600; but we will take a smaller
amount to show in the simplest man
ner possible how unreasonable and I'M
just is the fearful power of interest.
Sl.OO at 6 per cent, loaned n hun
dred years, with interest added to
principal, at the end of each year,
amounts to $40; at s per cent, $2,2O3;
10 per cent. SIS, l45.0O7; at "a per
cent, $2,55l,79s,494; all from a poor
single dollar. Now you can see that
the present rate Of interest is unjust,
and yet no one will take any steps in
the right direction to reduce the in
terest. Let every farmer consider
this matter carefully.
= [ have been thinking for a long
time some of plan to save the farmer
from so much oppression. The farmer
has to support the world, but yet ne
is a slave. This subject of money is
open for discussion. [ shall be glad
to read all that any may have to say
who are interested enough to write on
the subject. So | will close for the
present with success to The FARMER !!
Yours, &c.

We agree in spirit with the article
from "Rusticus," published in this pa
per last week. Some laws are good
and some are bad. Too often the law
giyers are more intent on making laws
to Cypress the people, and to enrich in
dividuals. Laws are not self-enforcing !;
| and while good laws are sometimes
| dead letters on the statute book, bad
ones are enforced with energy. Theor-
etically, at least, the public domain of
the United States, and of the States in
dlvldually, belongs TO the people; and
theoretically, the Federal and States
governments are of the people-con-
trolled by the people for the common
good. The public domain should be
held by these governments exclusively
for the people to be parcelled out
among them, as homesteads, as they in
crease in numbers and spread out over
the land. Instead of this, these gov
ernments have squandered millions of
acres OF the peoples land, by selling it
In immense tracts, at nominal price,
to land grabbing capitalists. Those
who consider that kind of agrarianism a
great crime. whereby the land of coun-
try would be equally divided between all
the people, do not seem to think that
other monstrous kind of agrariansm
any crime at all, whereby few, by the
connivance and assistance of the gov
eminent, appropriate to themselves i'm
mense territories belonging to the peo-
pie. Agrarianism has the advantage in
generosity for it would make an equal
division, while the land grabbers want
as much of the peoples land as they
have money to bride the government to
give them. The land grabbing in Ire
land many years ago, is now producing
its natural fruit the same may happen
in this country before great many
years.
In regard to the case stated by our
correspondent, where purchaser pays
part cash, and improves the property in
stead of finishing the payment, we see
no evilin that, except what he brings up
on himself. A man with money can
always buy land for cash; if his greed
tempts him to buy M ore than he can pay
for, and ne loses all by foreclosure Of
the mortgage, that is his fault. If he ex-
ponds his gains in making improvements
instead of paying the balance of the
purchase price, and he suffers by his i'm
prudence, he can blame no one but him
self. The only land laws that we can
complain of in this country, are those
that allow the people to be robbed of
the public domain.

A PURER POLITICAL ATMOS
Pierre.
Webster Tribune.

Webster Tribune.
With the nomination of Francis T.
Nichols for Governor we hope and be-
lieve the politics of our State will re-
ceiye moral prestige that will elevate
the politics of our State in every de-
gree. The nomination of Nichols has
demonstrated the strength of the peo-
pie when thoroughly aroused to a sense
of patriotic duty over q we'll disciplined
set of trained politicians and office
holders, who had begun to believe that
the people were their tools and servants
instead of, as good Democratic doctrine
teaches, their being servants OF the peo-
pie. Now that main source of iniqui-
tous power in our politics has been de-
throned, it becomes the duty of the peo-
pie in the ensuing nominations and cleo
tons to shelye the obnoxious politicians
throughout the State that are in sympa-
thy with, and abettors Of, this class of
State have lately put their seal Of con-
demnatun. We do not think a pro-
scriptive policy, carrying with it the de-
feat of every one OF the supporters of
the State administration should be car
ried out. On the other hand, we think
there are many good and deserving
men who were supporters of the admin
istration from conscientious, though er-
roneous reasons.
But let the people exercise sound
Judgment and discretion in removing
every man from Office who, in principal
and practice, has been supporter and
abettor of the efforts that made the ad-
miBistration so obnoxious to the peo-
pie, at the same time retain that better
element of our late opponents in office,
thus looping off the worst element in
Demo peS party Of our State State by y max
ing it party that the people can love
and trust as an organization DEVOTED to
their best and highest interests. Let US
have true and pure Democracy.
