A COLOSSAL AGE.

n SSISooTf- '~
 This is day of big things, and we do not know what it is to bccome.- The tremendous forces of civilization are driving masses ofmen, machines, and the instrumentalities of commit nication and carriage into vast com hinations. controlled by single wills. and society trembles beneath their working as the earth trembles be- meath the measured tread of mighty armies. Individualism has well nigh disappeared before this tenden- Cy to consolidation, and it's feeble assertions of right are stllled by the rumble and roar of the ponderous iuggcrnauts. There is no repose of fense and defense on the supreme objects. One half of great popula- tions are organizing for aggression, and the other half for counter az gression and self-protection. The statistics of generation ago are the toys of a kindergarten when placed side bv side with the bewildering nu- morals exhibited in the myriad elab- crate statistics of the present day. We used to stagger at q million ;now it is too tame and small for public respect. We once had railroads :; now we have systems of railroads extending over several states, hay ing each retinue of employees twice as large as the national army, and governed by single person. We have corporations and congeries of corporations whose aggregate capl- tai is hundreds of millions, and whose gross receipts are greater than the revenue of the federal government under President Van Buren. The obcdicnt earth responds to the fierce and insatiate demands of the age and yields it's treasures of gold and 1 silycr-and even the sun, the air, the sea and the clouds contribute their sources to a human greed that will not be denied and cannot be Satis- flied. The island of Great Britain throbs with the working of steam power having the force of 800, ,O0O,- l GOO men-and our country ls not far behind it. The wealth of Christen- dom is so prodigously increased by untiring productive energies that It has become a serious question what to dc with it. Wealth is power, and 1 the vast combinations of intelligence. skill and enterprise we witness over 1 the earth appear to be hostile leagues | of offence and defence for getting control of it. All small things van l ish before tho march of these agSre- gations. Whatever is not colossal is
 forced to yield. Whatever is not colossal is forced to yield. Even strikes now come in gigantic propor- tions. as if they were inStinctive movements against a giant enemy ::
 and fraud itself takes the form of huge cOnspiracies to wreck railroad systems or control the price of the necessaries of life over the world at profit of a hundred millions. What the whole thing is to result in it is hard to tell. The world is anxious about the end. The most colossal bodies to be seen are the armies of Europe-l4. .OO0. .OOO men in the az gregate-and the constant question upon all lips is, when will the collos- sal war between them begin.

AGRICULTURAL.
Cheap Money for Farmers.

Cheap Money TOT Faftr'efs.
 The farmer is receiving his share of attention from our brethren of the press just at this particular time, and some of the suggestions made in order that he may be enable to better his condition and get on the high road to prosperity are quite pertinent. The Greensboro Sun re- fers to this important matter as fol- lows:
 One of the pressing necessities of this country. especially among the farming classes. is some means by which they can obtain money at q low rate of interest The system which prevails at pIesent, among the loan associations, of charging from fifteen to eighteen per cent. on bor- rowed money. and then lending only to the extent of one-third of its val ue. has crippled and in many instan- ces ruincd those farmers who have made use of it. Ii is wrong that the farmers should be compelled to pay such an exhorbitant rate on what they obtain. Land in the country, should at all times be worth it's full value. and if money be borrowed upon it only the discount which pre- vails on other collaterals should be allowed.
 The farmers have had hard row to hoe. Relief of some kind is inn perative. But what is the best meth cd it is hard to determine. If sys- tenn could be devised whereby q farmer could step into a bank and, depositing his deeds, secure loan on the same as business man could upon his note. and pay only the lc- gal interest, his condition would be improved With this money he could purchase his supplies from the merchants at ready cash prices and save a large percentage by the investment.
 The merchants in selling on time, are not to be censured that they charge an increased interest for what they sell. It requires vast outlay of cash to conduct any mcr- cantilc business, and the goods they sell on time is money locked up for many months which could, upon a basis of cash, be turned over and ov- CT again,and net them in the end full ly as much per cent as is made by selling on time. When we consider the magic power of hard cash and the loss by bad debts the per cent is greater.
 If a grand system of cash only could prevail, what a prosperous country we would have Every avo- cation would flourish and every judi vidual man. who was not afraid of work, could make money.
 If farmers could one year get the cash at low per cent. to run their business and would give the proper attention to its management this blessed state of things would soon come about. The farmers need ready cash in their business tranac- tions the same as other men. and when they can get it at low per cent. they will begin to make money and prosperity will exist on every hand.
 The Jaskson Angus says: "Thc above system would be vast i'm provement upon buying the necessa- ry supplies to run farm, on time, but the true remedy is for farmers to raise what they need on the farm. They will then have no occasion tC mortgage everthing they possess to the merchant for supplies, at an ex- horbitant per cent. upon the cash price. They would have bank of their own, in full corn-crib and smoke houses.

CINCINNATI, July 3.-Cinoinnati is one
glowing garden of national colors to-
night. Never in her history has such a
general decoration of buildings been
made. The flag supply, liberal as it was,
was exhausted early in the day, and re-
course has been made to anything that
would give red, white and blue colors. An
equally generous provision had been
made for tonight. The midnight jubilee
of noise and fireworks, with the ringing
of bells, the booming of cannon and all
pervading tin horns created an interest
and enthusiasm never before witnessed il
the Queen city.
The managers of the exposition have
paid delicate compliment to univer'
sally honored woman by selecting Mrs
Polk, of Nashville, Tenn, widow of Presi.
dent James X. Polk, to start the machin-
cry of the exposition. She will accom- plish
it by presting an electric button in her
house at Nashville.

The Iron Lockout.

PIrTsBURG, July 3.-The iron lockout
presented no new features to-day. No
more signatures we're obtained by the
Amalgamated people to their scale up TO
noon, and there were no indications of
either side giving in. The signing of the
scale by few firms will have no effect on
the general situation, as there are seventy
one firms in the western association who
are determined to resist the scale, More
head, MCLEAN u Co., paid off their men
and closed down indefinitely. The work.
men appear to be well satisfied with the
result so far, and confidently assert that
the lockout will not last very long. The
thirteen firms that have signed the scale
operate sixteen mills and employ about
10000 men.
A Youngstown, Ohio, dispatch says there
is no change in the situation there. All
outgoing trains are crowded with iron
workers and their families going to visit
friends. The manufacturers show no dis
position to sign the scale.
Word was received at the Amalgamsted
headquarters that the Scott-Dals Iron and
Steel company, of Scottdale, Pa, signed
the schedule and would continue their
mills in full operation.
