A PLEA FOR THE FARMER.

Out of a population Of go, 900, 900,
says the Farmer and Dealer, there are
probably about $4,000, 600 who earn
wages and live by work. Included
in this count is something over 9,OOO,-
600 engaged in agricultural pursuits,
and it appears that we have no other
single industry that employs and fur.
nishes a living for so many of our
people. In fact, this one industry
feeds all the people, and no other in
dustry can live without it. Here
then, we see that we have in this
country: more than 40, OOO, 900 people
living without earning any wages, and
most of them live directly or indirect
ly off the earnings of those who toll,
and they, with all the dealers and
traders, ETC., are dependent on the
success Of the agriculturist and the
protection of that interest. Then it
is proper for US to first examine this
most important of all our industries,
and see what danger threaten. Now,
what the farmer wants first is a good
home market for all his surplus pro.
duct. This cannot be assured while
we import in n year more than
$50, 900, 900 of food and live stock,
not including coffee, lea, sugar and
molasses. Why should. we import
into our country about $4,000, 900
worth of vegetables, being cabbage
from Holland, potatoes from Scot
land, potatoes, beans and peas from
Canada? If the farming interest is
what we here claim for it, then is it
proper for us to import $1,000, 600
worth of hay and So, 900 900 worth
of breadstuffs and 20, 900, 900 dozen
eggs, partly from Denmark and
Sweden? We think it is bad policy.
The farmer needs to be cared for first,
last and all the time, in order that
other industries may thrive with him
and good wages be paid to manufac-
turing operatives rs they go on turn
ing our vast resources from raw ma
terial into that which is necessary for
our welfare and safety in peace or
war. Diversified farming is u only
hope and safe anchorage at this time,
and in it is the whole business. Let
the diversified interest be built up
from our own raw material and
means at hand, aud the people who
are engaged in the work will consume
all the agriculturist produces, the
market will be at home, and the nation
will grow in prosperity, which il
something that no nation has yet done
| without diversified interest.

CONVICT LABOR"
YAYcEYv1LLE. N. c. Sent. Z

VAUDEVILLE, N. c., Sept. 7, SO.
Mr.. EDIToR:-"It has been sug,
gested that we use our convict labor
to make guano," "That looks like a
railroad scheme to me-" etc., etc.
Thus writes that prince of CORES,
pondents, "Old Fogy," in your issue
of September Sd. And "besides no
one will contend that if work cost
nothing that guano could be made
cheaper than it can be made now"
The fallacy of that statement is
self evident. | know the farmers
want guanos cheaper than now fur
nished, and if we can get free of the
tax of agencies the way is plain.
1 will not follow Old Fogy in his
figures. So cost of a ton in labor and
other figures he makes, I believe
every ton of fertilizers sold in the
State cost from FIVE to ten dollars
more than it should. l sympathize
deeply with my friend and think the
convict labor might be utilized in
banking the streams and making the
swamp lands tillable and if cold
Fogy" will visit this part of the
vineyard he will hear many and
hearty responses to his suggestion
thus wise "dam the streams" yes,
"dam EN- in and out, even if you use
steam power which beats convict
labor" Seriously these may be
something in the idea Of using a part
of the convict labor in the making Of
guanos. The "Bogyboo" the State
need not necessarily be a party.
I send you a hastily written screed
published in the DanvilIe Register
which please add hereunto and ask of
"Old Fogy" if there be a railroad
scheme hidden in the "meal tub"
How does his proposition to bank the
streams strike him? ! see none in
either proposition. He must in this
be Old Fogy.

freehold, and in purity of purpose.
Yes, Mr.. President, | reassert, and
repeat it deliberately and with the
fear of God before my eyes, that the
chief hope for the avoidance OF dan
gers suggested and for the consequent
continuance of free government on
this continent reposes in agricultural
combination and freehold concert of
action. Agriculture is the mainstay
and last refuge of liberty, and hence
the necessity of agricultural comblna-
ton. "When bad men combine, I"
says the inspired Burke, "the good
must associate, else they will fall one
by one an unpitied sacrifice in a con-
temptible struggle" And again he
exclaims, when it was firpantly said
that London could be relied on III a
grave emergency as England's main
stay, "Tell me not of the patriotism
of such. His desk is his altar, his
ledger is his Bible, and his gold is his
God"
Fortunately for liberty, that combi-
ton has begun. Under different
names, the tillers are associating for
the public veal and self protection to
checkmate the unholy combinations
Of chad men," such as | have tried
to portray. Fortunately, too, 1.-The
Alliance" which already numbers be-
tween n and two millions in its
brotherhood, constitutes a fit nucleus
upon which all kindred organizations
may rally, if not merge. When it's
membership shall embrace one half of
the adult population of the land, as
it should at no distant day, and it is
imbued with nerve and sinew and
blood and bone, and especially back
bone, extortionate monopoly will have
to haul down it's piratical black flag,
and seek a hiding hole from the eyes
Of honest men.
What a glorious mission it is, the
preservation of chartered rights. Rise
to the full measure of it's meaning
and you are true to yourselves and
to your prosperity. In furtherance
Of that great object let us resolve to
pull together and to make coalition
with other kindred bodies -actuated
by the same high and holy purpose.
Let the fiat go forth to-day, as it has
heretofore: We ask for no special
privileges which will infringe the
rights of others, but we demand that
none shall enjoy privileges which in
fringe upon our rights. To put it in
homelier phrase, while we step on no
ones toes, we are at the same time
exceedingly sensitive az to our own
corns. Self preservation and the
preservation of inherent rights are
unreasouably demanded. If others
so deem it, they are welcome to their
opinion, but that only makes the
necessity for concert and co operation
the more imperative upon us: God
grant that Legislation may henceforth
hearken to our just and reaso able
demands. If not, agriculture knows
her remedy, and if rue to herself will
apply it.

the PACIFIC CABLE QUESTION.

The New York correspondent of
the San Francisco Chronicle lately
gave n special despatch of ncarly a
column to that paper on the subject
of Pacific cable. OF the opinions
of several telegraph magnates, while
some doubted the prottablenesS of
such an undertaking TO the invest
ors, all were agreed upon the great
benefit it would be To- the United
States. Mr.. Horton de Castro, vice
president of the Commercial Cable
Company, said nothing would please
that company better than TO see the
line laid. He thought Mr.. Mackay
would do anything in his power to
help the people of the Pacific Coast
in this matter. 1t would require
$l5, 200, 900 and, as it would not
pay at first, the Government ought
to devote some of its great surplus
to guaranteeing interest on the
bonds for brief term. 1.-The Gov
eminent could we'll afford TO do
that" Mr.. de Castro said, because
of the great advantage TO itself in
matters connected with the navy in
the Pacific, and for the proper pro-
lection of American interests and
the merchant marine otherwise. y
He concluded: eff we are ever to
have western commerce we must
have that cable. If we are ever in
trouble as nation in the Pacific we
surely do not want all the cables in
the hands of other governments.
When the plan is we'll presented l
believe men Of capital will see its
possibilities and then success will be
assured" These views coming
from an associate of Messrs.
Mackay and Bennett in the Com
mercial Cable Company are promis-
ing of American enterprise taking
hold and giving us cable COMMUNE
cation.

4 LIFE STATION sToRM-TOssED.

Experience of Two Jersey City Men in
Moving 1t from Rockaway to Long Beach.
F. H. Smith, a contractor, and Tugboat
Captain Jaycox, both of this city. had a
rough time of it off the Far Rockaway
coast last Saturday. Life Saving Station
No. 81, on Hog Beach at Far RockaWay,
was constructed about a year ago at an
expense of $1,000. The sea was SO
dangerous where it stood that it
was decided to remove it to Long Beach.
Smith contracted to do the work, and the
station was taken apart and finally placed
on two scows. The tug A. f. Rappalia, be-
longing to Captain Jaycox, started to tow
these scoWso out of the inlet Friday after
noon, The tug is a small one and got
aground before 1t left the inlet. Saturday
morning at five O'Clock the sea, which
had been aroused by the no~rtheasterly
windstorm, became very heavy, and
played havoc with the barges. They were
cut adrift. One of them sank, and
in doing SO threw the disjointed station
overheard. The other scow started to
drift to the westward, and the station
drifted with it in sections. The sea kept
growing heavier and the breakers
mightier. The big scow was tossed high
and dry on shore near the Arverne Hotel,
and scattered the sections of the station.
ID. G. and G. H. Bowker own the scows.
They are thought to be a total loss, and
were valued at 5000. The tug is still
aground and may be badly damaged. All
the apparatus of the station was saved by
CAPTAIN J.. III. Abraham of the demolished
station, Captain William I'll. Reinhard, of
the lower station, and their men.

A GREAT STRIKE IMMINENT.
Trouble Is Threatened at the Mines in
Ohio and Indiana.

Trouble Is Threatened at the Mines I'm
Ohio and Indiana.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March is, 1889, -Trou-
BILE between the operators and miners
seems inevitable since the failure of the
Joint convention to agree upon a scale of
prices at the meeting in this city, and the
trouble is likely to start in Ohio before the
lapse of many days.
At Salineville there is already a differ
ence as to the screens in use, and q promi-
nent officer of the National Progressive
Union said last night that it was more
than probable that q double strike would
be inaugurated there to maintain the
present scale of prices and to force
The operators to use the regulation
screen. He was asked whether ii a strike
were inaugurated in The State, 1t would
not give the Indiana operators an inn
mense advantage over those in Ohio
in supplying the great market Of
the Southwest, and in this con
nection the officer made IN Inn
portant statement. This matter had
been considered, he said, by the miners,
and in order to present that result the de-
cision had been arrived at, in the event of
a strike in Ohio, to withdraw all the union
men from the mines OF Indiana and lessen
the competitive powers of the operators by
~curtailing the output.
The officers of the union generally an
ticipate trouble during the present season,
but express a willingness to do al1possible
to avoid a clash between operators and
