March, 1876. First and above all it in.
spires sense of profound thakfuiness
that there never existed in this country
party or o policy or q measure OF
gradual emancipation. We mean OF
course against that purely Southern
slave power which dictated the compro-
misses of the Federal Constitution"
In this, the editor of the Nation could
not have means that there never existed
in this country policy or measure of
gradual emancipation, for, as we have
seen, just such policy WAS adopted
throughout the Northern States-that it
was by just such measures that the
Northern people rid themselves OF the
institutions which they had so large a
hand in imposing upon the South. But
was this statement correct even if limited
by his last sentence, "Wo mean of course
against the Southern slave power" &c?
MIR. Lincoln having declared in his
inaugural that the Republican party had
no intention to Interfere with the inst
t!oE OF slavery; and Congress, by JOINT
resolution, approved July %, 1861,
having repeated Mr. Lincoln's declare
ton and announced 20 the South that
the war wu5 only for the preservation Of
tho Union, and not for the abolition OF
slavery; and Congress having actually
passed il Nlareh, 1861, by two-thiris
vote proposed amendmont to the Con-
StitutiOn that:
ono amendment shall be rude TO the
Constitution which will authoriz, or
give Congress the power to abolish or
Interfere within any State with tho do
mca'ic institutions thereof, including
that Of pcrsonH held to labor or service
by the laws OF the said State"
Upon the recommendation of AIr. Lin
coin, mGdo in Il special message in April,
is y, ConGres passed another Joint Tgso-
luton Offering pecuHiary aid from the
General Government to induce the
States 10 adopt general adjustment of
slavery"
Mr. Lincoln expressed tho sentiment
OF the North, which enabled him to carry
on the war successfully, when, on 22d
August, 1862, he said:
My paramount object is to save the
Union, and not to save or destroy slavery
1t coIld save the Union without free
ing any slave | would do il. If / could
save Ii by freeing all the slaves ! would
ITO 1t, and if L could do it by freeing
some and leaving others alone, l would
also do that"
ALtC o~"N % III CJc DtttIeS aU war WlID
tue Federal Government were freed as q
military and not as a political measure
The Federal Government did not free
the slaves i'll Delaware, Maryland and
kentucky. The results of the war rem
dercd slavery impracticable, but that
was all.
The truth is, The South could at any
Simc during the war have secured the
institution Of slavery at The sacrifice Of
the right OF secession. That sacrifice she
would not voluntarily make, and sho
lost both her sovereignty and her slaves
She was the unfortunate, innocent, last
holder Of :iishonorcd bill, and the
emittelS Of it turned upon hcr and cuilrd
to tue world TO see bow they would pun
ish her for holding it.

THE FARMERS TRUST.
How It Differs from tho Grange In Its
Objects.

] have received letters from gentlemen
OF the Northwestern States asking the
question: "In what respect does the
farmers' Trust differ from the Grange?"
can answer without prejudice, as l
have been member of the Grange for
the past seventeen years. Tho Grange
tried to regulate prices on what the
farmers had to buy. The Farmers
Trust undertakes to control the prices on
what the farmers have to sell. Tho one
appoints agents to buy cheap; the other
will appoint agents to sell to the bost
advantage. The Grange is secret social
society; its members are bound together
10y mOral obligations; it sought to affect
Legislation and to accomplish political
| ends. 1t excludes from membership all
persons who ara not actual farm ors
hC EuyJncr3 trust hns 40 secrets, signs,
passwords nor black balls, aud its mem
bers arc bound together by pccuniary
obhgatlonS-has pocket interest and II
bl!Sin css end. 1t seeks for tho best bust
ness talent and invites tho cooperation
OF all men OF brains, experience and
business integrity.
distinguished gentleman from Hi
nOIS writes me, suggesting "Farmcra'
Protective Union" as a substitute for the
name Farmers Trust. ] am aware tnrro
i" prejudice against anything that has
the name Of ''truSt," but this Is owing to
the fact that the object Of IL trust is so
Il;to understood. 4 trust is a union of
! business institutions, and its object is t.
prevent ruinOus competition III trade,
experience having demonstrated that
competition is not tho safe ard honest
method OF doing business. TO co npcti-
tlon may be traced so per cent OF all
business failures, and tho survival Of the
httcst or strongest becomes an oppressive
monopoly. A trust is a compact between
tTo or NOR independent business firms
agreeing to do or not to do certain
thing III tho line of their business, and
implies trustee to execute tho trust
who is restricted or limited to the specific
object of tho truet. By these modern
institutions uniform grades Of prices are
cstabiishe !, thus protecting the weak
against the strong and rcserving to each
member of the union all the rights and
powers not delegated to the trust.
\ trust, therefore, is decentrahzing in
its influence and check upon mOnopo-

capital or n ccntralization of business
power, acting under one supreme head,
deriving its nourishment aud growth
from the failure and ruin of competitors
IN trade. When combination in bust
ness assumes this character it cc"aes to
be trust, and becomes a monopoly.
The manufacturing and commercial
classes are organized, but the agrjcultur-
al--the Fundamental industrial cass-is
unorgunized and Mt the mercy OF the
! other two. Tho Farmers Trust move
meut, therefore, has become necessity
in order to secure an oquitAblo exchange

the Office that is greater in SONS respects
than the Presidency of the United States.
The occasion was banquet tsndered Mr..

included scores of ti,izsns Of the West dis

A Tariff Democrat Has More Hopes Of the
Presidents Reelection.
WASHINGTON, September A.-Repre-
sentative Foran, of Ohio, who is an out
and-out tariff Democrat, and who for some
time has plainly expressed doubt OF
.Cleveland's reelection, said to-day that
he thought things were beginning to look
O little brighter for the return Of the pres
ent incumbent of the White House. Sew
eral features of the situation were conduc-
ing to this, but chiefly the fact that 1t
seems to be conceded on all sides. that
there was need of tariff revision, and that
while thu Democrats had shown their
ability to bring in some sort Of bill, the
Republicans seemed incapable Of producing
any bill whatever.
This situation was disgusting the rank
and file of tbs Republicans, and unless the
Sanate should take speedy action and in
way that would restore confidence in the
Republican ability to deal with the tariff
question, their lack of courage would add
greatly to the chances of Cleyeland's re-
election.
