AGRICULTURE.
The Year Marked by Agitation
Among Farmers.

The report of the secretary of agri-
culture deserves especial attention, in
view of the fact that the year has been
marked in a very unusual degree by ag-
itation aud organization among the
farmers, looking to all increase in the
profits of their bueiness. 1t will be
found that the efforts of the department
have been inteIligentiy and zealously
done to the promotion of the interests
intruSted to It's care. A very substantial
Improvement in the market prices
of the leading farm products has
taken place during the year.
The price of wheat advanced from 81
cents in October, 1889. To S1.O0$l in Oc-
tObrr. iS9J; corr from 81 cents to
504 cents; oats from 1914 cents to
43 cents, and barley from IS cents to
IS cents. Meats showed a substantial
but not large increase. Export trade
in live animals and fowls shows a very
large increase. The total value of such
exports for the year ending June 80.
1891, was s33.O01,000, and the increase
over the preceding year was over S15,-
600, 900. Nearly 200.00i more cattle and
over 5000 more hugs We're exported
than in the preceding year. The ex-
port trade in beef aud pork products
and in dairy products was very largely
increased. the increase in the article of
butter alone being from 1850, 1913
pounds to 29,7S4,042 pounds, and the
Total increase 10 the value of meat and
dairy products exported being S34. 0OO,-
0U0. This trade, so directly helpful to
the farmer, it is believed will be yet
further and very largely increased when
the system of inspection and sanitary
supervision now provided by law is
brought fnlly into operation.

repugnancy. Ii these critics really be-
lieve that the adoption by us of a free
trade policy, or of tariff rates having
reference solely to revenue, would
diminish the participation of their
own countries in the commerce
of the world, their advocacy
and promotIon by speech and
other forms of organized effort of this
movement OF our .ople is rare exhibit
ton OF unseltishness in the trade. And
on the other hand, if they sincerely be-
lieve that the adoption of a protective
tariff policy by this country inures to
their profit and our cost, it is noticably
wrong that they should lead the cutlery
against the authors of a policy so help
tul 10 their copntrymen, and crown
with their favor those who would snatch
from them substantial share of a
trade with other lands already made
quate to their necessities. The reel
procity clause of the tariff act wisely
and effectively opens the way to secure
q large reciprocal trade in exchange for
the free admission to our ports
of certain products. The right of
independent nations to make spe-
clal reciprocal trade concessions is
well established, and does not impair
either the comfy due to the other pow
ers or what is known as the Favored
nation clause" so generally found in
commercial treaties. What is given to
one for an adequate agreed considera-
ton cannot be claimed by another
freely. The state of the revenues was
such that we could dispense with any
import duties upon coffee, tea, hides
and the lower grades of sugar aud mo-
lasseS. That the large advantage result
ing to the countries producing and eX-
porting these articles by placing them
on the free list entitled US to expect a
fair return in the way of customs con-
cesslons upon articles exported by us to
them was so obvious that to have gratu-
ltouSly abandoned this opportunity to
enlarge our trade would have been all
objectionable error.
There were but two methods of main
tanning control oft his question open to
congress: To place all of these articles
upon the dutiabIe list subject to such
treaty agreements as could be secured,
or to place them all presently upon the
free list but subject to the re-impOsitlOn
OF specified duties. if the countries from
which we received them should refuse to
give to us suitable reciprocal benefits.
This latter method. | think, possesses
great advantages. 1t expresses in adj
vance the consent of congress to reci-
procIty arrangements affecting these
products, which must otherwise have
been delayed and uuaScertained until
each treaty was ratified by the senate
and the necessary legislation enacted
by congress.

FINE AND LIGHT.

If it were a new exercise of federal
power and an INVASION of the
rights OF the states. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Congress has
already fixed the time for the election
sUf members of congress. 1t has de-
clared that votes fur members of con-
gress must be by written or printed
ballot; it has provided for the appoint
ment by the circuit courts in certain
cases ana upon the petition of a certain
number of citizens. of election super
visors, and made it their duty to super
wise the registration of voters conducted
by the state officers; to challenge per-
sons offering to register; to personally
Inspect and scrutiniZe the registry lists,
and to affiX their names to the lists for
the purpose of Identification and
the prevention of frauds: to
attend at elections and remain with
the boxes till the votes are all cast and
counted; to attach TO the registry lists
and election returns any statement
touching the accuracy and fairness of
the registry and election, and to take
and transmit to the clerk of the house
of representatives any evidence of
fraudulent practices which may be pre-
scented to them. The same law provides
for the appointments depu Y United
support the supervisors i'll the discharge
of their duties and TO arrest persons viO-
lating the election laws. The proviS-
ions of this familiar portion of
the revised statute have been put
into exercise 10y both the great
political parties in the North
as well as in the South by
the filing with the court of the petitions
required by law. 1t is not. therefore, a
question whether we shall have a fed
eraI election law, for we now have one,
and have had for nearly twenty years,
but whether we shall have all effective
law. But 1t is said that this legislation
will revive race animoSitieS. and some
have even suggested that when the
peaceful methods of fraud are made i'm
possible they may be supplanted by in
limitation and violence. If the pro-
posed law gives to any qualified eiector
by hairs weight more than his equal
influence. or detracts by so much from
any other qualified elector. it is fatally
impeached. But If the law is equal
and the animositieS it Is to evoke grow
out of the fact that some electors
have been accustomed to exercise
the franchise for others, as well as for
themselves, then these aninoSities
ought not to be confessed without
shame, and cannot be given any weight
in the discussion without dishonor. No
choice is left to me but to enforce with
vigor all laws intended to secure to the
citizen his constitutional rights, and to
recommend that inadequacies of such
laws be promptly remedied. IL to pro-
mote with zeal and ready interest every
project for the development of its ma
terial interests,it rivers, harbors, mines

THE ARMY.
Secretary OF War Reports Crafty
ing Results.

The report OF the secretary Of war eX-
hibits several gratifying results attained
during the year by practical and un-
osteutatiuus methods. The percentage
of desertions from The army Ian evil for
wh. eli both congress and the department
have long been seeking remedyJ has
been reduced during the past year 24S
per cent. and for the months of August
aud September, during which time favor
able effects of the act of June l6 were
feat. 81 per cent, as compared with the
same months of 1889. The results at

datIon of the divisions having charge of

change was effected in July, 1889, and at
that time there were 40.654 cases await

being calls from the pension Office for
Information necessary to the adjudica-
ton of pension claims. On the Both day
of June last, though over three hundred
thousand rev calls had come in, there
was not single one that had not been
examined and answered. | concur in
the recommendations of the secretary
that adequate and regular approprIa-
tons be continued for coast defense
works and ordnance. Plans have been
practically agreed upon. and there can
tic no good reason for delaying the exc
cution of them, while tile defenseIess
state of our great seaports furnishes an
urgent reason for wise expedition. The
encouragement that has oeeH extended
to the militia of the states, generally
and most appropriately designated the

tiOnS constitute, in j large sense, the
army of the United States, while about

OF congress is invited to all the methods

our country with the natlnlis of Europe
and Of the East have been undisturbed.
while the ties of good will and cuinmun
interest that bind Us to the states of The

strengthened by the conference II Id in
this capital to consider measures for the

1t is quite important that prompt action

THE TARIFF.
A Strong Plea for the Mckinley
Bill

The general tariff act has only par
TALLY gone into operation, some of its
important provisions being limited to
take effect at dates yet in the future.
The general provisions of the law have
been in force less than sixty days Its per-
manent effects upon trade and prices still
largely stand in conjecture. 1t is curl
Gus to note that the advance in the
prices of articles wholly unaffected by
me tariff act was BY many ascribed
to that. Notice was not taken of the
fact that the general tendency of the
markets was upward from infuen ces
wholly apart from the recent tar
if legislation. The misinformatiOn
as to the terms of the act which
has been so widely disseminated at
home and abroad. will be corrected by
experience, and the evil auguries as to
its results eonfounded by tie market
reports, the savings banks. interna-
tionaI trade balances and the general
prosperity of our people. Already we
begin to hear from abroad and from our
custom houses that the prohibitory eff
feet upon importations imputed to the
act is not justified. The criticisms of
the bill that have come to US from for
eign sources may well be rejected for

THE FORCE BILL
Strongly Recommended as a Re-
lief From Fraud.

If any intelligent and loyal company
of American citizens were required to
catalogue the essential human condi-
tions of national life, do not doubt
that with absolute unanimity they would
begin with free and honest elections.,,
And it is gratifying to know that there
is generally growing and non-partisan
demand tor better election laws. But
against this sign of hope and progress
must be set the depressing and undenI-
able fact that election laws and methods
are sometimes cunningIy contrived to
secure minority control. while violence
completes the shortcomings of fraud.
In my last annual message / suggested
that the development of the existing
law providing federal supervision of
congressional elections offered an effect
i've method of reforming these abuses.
The need of such a law has manifested
itself in many parts of the country, asd
its wholesome restraints and penalties
will be useful in all. The constitutions
ally OF such legislation has been
affirmed by the supreme court. Its
probable effectiveness is evidenced
10y the character of the opposition that
is made TO it. 1t has been denounced as
