Brethren don't ask US about taking
political action. We can't decide that
question for you. God knows there Il
need Of some sort Of action, but preju.
dice, prejudice, prejudice. We are all
SO fearful of one another politically,
that we would rather suffer the disease
that lie gnawing a. our vitals than risk
being beaten by the other fellows. One
thing We can cay: The F. NJ. B. A.,
is not political organization. 1t can.
not bind its members to any political
line of action. Each member lie a. free
in this regard after he joins the organi.
cation as he was before. Hence we do
not think 1t wise or proper for the Or
ganization, to select and run candi.
dates. If the people. however, in their
lodges or elsewhere, have learned that
those who hold ard control the Offices
have not subserved. the peoples best
interest, they have right as free peo'
pie to take any constitutional action as
a people, within the parties or out of
them, that may be necessary to secure
better and more faithful service. And
we would be glad to see just such re-
volt against the wire pulling court

within that period the minimum es.
innate has been as low as 300 600, 600
and the maximum has almost reached
600. 0O0,OOO Extremes like these
would rule without come honesty and
common-sense in crop reporting. Now,
under the influence Of public reports,
a change of one per cent. in the popu.
lar expectation will cause break OF
bulge in the market; and the trade
centers have become SO seEsitive and
finical in crop estimates that the inev.
liable but scarcely appreciable chang
es of monthly crop conditions shake
the pit like bomb Of dynamite.
The intelligent and willing co-opera-
ton of our farmers, who understand
that in the service rendered they are
wOrkingfOr themselves aswell as for the
public, is worthy of all praise. The re.
turns of our correspondents and of in.
dividual farmers will aggregate more
than two hundred thousand during
the present year. This Division, with
their aid, will continue to advance in
efficiency and usefulness, working for
the best coed of the farmer and the
country. A few points should be
made in conclusions:
First. 1t is evident that the farm
ers of the country favor the collection
Of facts Of production. and their fullest
publicity, as the best means of protec.
ton of their interests against those
who would depress prices for personal
advantage.
Second. 1t is certain that depend.
eDce on private or class information
will always give the buyer an advan.
tage over the grower and that an equi.
librium of prices can only be obtained
by q general acceptance in the grain
markets of the truth, impartially and
fully presented.
Third. That the Government alone
has facilities to furnish the nearest an.
Proclamation of current crop indica.
lions throughout the world, and that
10 other agency can furnish equal or
adequate protection to the farmer.

era, and If the "pen was mightier than
the sword" 1t was SO because it told th
sword when and where to strike. On
thing Is most certain, that all thos.
pens, from that Of John Milton to that O
Burke and jefferson, combined to Civ
the sword Of Washington it's long-last
ing power. The ragged, ill-fed soldier
Of the new republic stood upon princi
pies which were limiting the throne
England and were about to overthrow
the King of France.
Washington was the final turning
point of the times; for had he been les
than he was Independence might neve
have come. The situation was critica
all through the seven years of battle
1t was the probable hopelessness tina
made Benedict Arnold hasten to desert
to the cause of the King. Proud and
ambitious, he could not enjoy the hum
BILE surroundings of the fort and camp
He saw no splendor in the service of the
colonies. He deserted his cause after
having first betrayed it to the enemy.
The cause asked for Washington alone.
II there was some man who could have
done the peculiar work SO well, he was
not to be seen by those who looked
about them in that day. There was in
Washington great pride indeed, but it
desired to feed upon merit. He was
ambitious for fame, but he desired the
fame to come from honorable deeds.
Desertion or the abandonment of cause
formed no part Of the possible with him.
He was slow to move against foe; he
had to estimate and calculate, add and
subtract like an astronomer; but amid
all this mental figuring his mind al
ways contained the notion of more war
and more victory, and seemed wholly
unaffected by time or defeat. He was
never figuring about how to give up, but
always about how to 60 on. He was
both gentle and inflexible, as wonder
full gentleman as he was soldier.
He was incapable of fear, and he
seemed equally incapable of despair. He
was always serene enough to enable
him to look over a dark winter into a
better summer. 1t is most wonderful
that while Franklin and jefferson and
Paine were finding the best truth for
the colonies there was rising up slowly
on the farm of Mount Vernon a man
who could establish those truths against
all the wisdom and force of the British
throne. George Washington will always
stand as one of the finest human specta-
cles in all history. DAVID SWING.

her first-born son that magnificent
physical form, with its extraordinary
powers of action and endurance, that
self-poised mental force, that power to
command, that calm dignity and gentle
grace which robed the uncrowned King
OF the American people with a majesty
perhaps unequalled by airy character
the world has ever seen, and who gave
Der son a supreme regard for right, and
taught him in confessed weakness to
look to Sod for strength and guidance.
"We have long looked with sorrow
upon her ruined tomb. The unfortunate
business failure of generous and pa
triotic citizen of New York, who over
fifty years ago undertook to build q
beautiful and costly monument at her
grave; his earnest desire that it should
not be completed by others so long as he
lived and hoped to recover his fortunes;
the exposures of the war period; the
desolations of battle field, and the
long-cherished but disappointed hopes
of an appropriation from the United
States Congress-all these things have
brought us to the present time, with the
tomb in its present condition. The re-
sponsibility of any further neglect will
rest upon all the people of this country.
At last our hopes are revived. A general
sentiment is rising, stimulated by the
meeting at the Old South Meeting
House, Boston, and by the action of the
Washington Post, and has found q
widespread expression that the time
has come for action by the people to re-
build this monument and affectionately
preserve it as grateful memorial Of a
great American mother.
"With confidence in the disinterested
and patriotic end at which we aim, we
appeal to the people Of our great Amer
lean Republic to all US in our work. Let
the 22d of February, 1890, the ami
versary of the day when this great
woman gave birth to her first-born son,
be marked and celebrated by contribu-
tions all over the land to this piouscause.
Let subscriptions be opened by news
papers. Let local associations of ladies
be formed with fee of one hundred dol
lars per member, and let the money
collected be forwarded, from time to
time, to the National Bank of Fredericks-
burg. Va. As the gathering of funds pro-
crosses, public notification will be made;
and when the amount contributed shall
be deemed adequate we will spare no
effort to secure an enduring monument.

making up a truth or sentiment for
the later heart to carry. As Washing
ton spoke and wrote language which
he did not make and rode in a carriage
which he did not invent, so he carried
in his mind notions of human liberty
which had been growing in England and
France for more than hundred years.
Imperialism had been slowly declining
for several generations. The idea Of
personal liberty had been sung in
poetry and Numbered forth in orations
and contested in battle.
Intellectual nations always tend to-
ward freedom, because man can not be-
come a thinker without perceiving soon
his greatest need-the liberty to think
and act for himself. The Greek and
Roman States found intellectual power
and freedom at the same time, because
it was impossible to become intelligent
without wishing to escape bondage.
When the classic literature became in
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
the fashionable literature of Europe and
England, the study of every academy
and college, that perception Of freedom
came to the Millions and Cromwells and
Shakespeares that had come long before
to the Greek and Roman statesmen.
John Milton demanded the liberty of
the press, and became famous for his
political claims and daring long before
he composed the Paradise Lost"
When Cromwell undertook to overthrow
despotism Milton was the literary camp
follower of the revolutionist, and was
secretary during the Protectorate.
When the restoration came John Milton
thought it wise to hide himself for
time, from the fear that his pamphlets
in the cause of liberty might make his
death seem desirable with the line Of
Kings. It is related that his timid
friends sent abroad rumor of his death
and burial, that by such device the roy
atty might be led away from any search
after such an old disturber of the public
peace.
In 1894 the freedom of the press was
granted in England. An author was no
longer compelled to submit his proposed
book or pamphlet to any royal commits
sion that it might be emptied Of any

sentences not welcome to Kings. All
through the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries an open or concealed study OF
human rights went forward and affected
deeply all those scholars who cane up
from the common people of England.
Between John Milton and Edmund
Burke the study of liberty was involved
in every college course, and thus was
created that kind of unrest and long
ing which induced Puritans and Pill
grim Fathers 10 seek the shores Of
America.
Milton and Edmund Burke received
their boyhood education from the plain
sect called Quskers, and thus betray the
fact that there were hundred years of
English history in which the educational
processes lay largely with the hands OF
the common people. Edmund Burke
was an Irish boy, and it is probable that
he absorbed from his home life more
love of freedom than he extracted FROM
the textbooks of the old classics.
OF every political question Of his day
Edmund Burke espoused the side which
offered the most of the divine rights Of
man. He was by nature republican,
and long before Washington became
visible Burke became the champion Of
the colonies of England and argued for
one law and one ri-ht under the En-
glish flag, wave where 1t might. He
opposed ardently the special taxation
Of the American colonies. He was con-
sistent and irrepressible.
Unconstitutional law of England had
made the King more of president than
amonarch. Edmund Burke addressed
long public letter to the King and
argued against him upon American af-
fairs just as though the King were only
an attorney of the other side. The let
ter is respectful, but it is the letter Of
man to man. One sentence from the
long address to the King will reveal the
bearing of each word and argument Of
the whole.

simple in its nature and as level to the
most ordinary understanding as it is
powerful in affecting the most languid
