THERE is one point to which I ask
attention: 1t is the effort to place CAPT.
tai on an equal footing with, if not
above labor, in the structure of the
government. bid the laboring people
beware of guaranteeing power which
they already possess, and which, when
surrendered, will surely be used to close
the door of advancement to such as
they, and fix new disabilities and bur-
dens upon them until all of liberty shall
have been lost. '-Abrahana Lincoln.

A WORK FOR THE FARMERS AL
LANCE.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Chicago board of trade is having a
hard struggle with the bucket-shops. II
is feared that some way will be found tC
circumvent the vigilance of the directors
and defeat the end in view. The import
ance of the matter is far greater than is
generally supposed. The object aimed
at is to check gambling in grain because
it is gambling as much as betting on
poker or faro, but in the light of the Pills
bury statement, published in the Inter
Ocean. the especial urgency in the mat
ter is that the farmers are being ruined
by the indirect effect of speculation.
Fortunately, the milling interest lies in
the same direction as the farming inter
est, and there ought to be no great diff
Guilty III getting them together TO make
common cause against a common enemy.
Mr.. Pillsbury is the largest miller in the
country and must be accepted as an au-
thority on the subject.
Mr.. Pillsbury'5 central idea is that a
man selling a million bushels of fictitious
wheat depreSSes the market Just as much
as it would to increase the actual pro-
duction that much This Is startling
statement, for there are many millions
of fictitious wheat sold, more, in all
probability, then the actual wheat And
what is true of wheat holds equally true
of corn and oats. This is new phase of
the subject to many minds, and certain it
Is that the farmers themselves have never
taken it in. That the gamblers who deal
in wind and make bets on futures should
depress the grain market the same as If
all that wind were so much Veritable IN
crease to the visible supply Is the most
significant agricultural fact conceivable.
The actual crop may be small next wear.
but as long as the gambling continues
the farmers can not expect good prices.
Every alliance in all this western coun-
try ought to be stirred from center to
circumference bv this menace. In COM
parison with this evil all other agricul-
tural ills seem tame and trivial. Even
transportation charges do not bear with
anything Ike the force upon the farmers
that these fictitious sales do. The evil i
by no means confined to the bucket-shops
The legitimate boards of trade do great
deal Of Legitimate trading. and every
man who makes q sale without haviag
actual grain at his command Is doing
positive injury 10 the grain producing in
terest. Some way must he devised TO put
a practice 50 detrimental upon the list Of
crimes. Pubic sentiment needs 10 be
educated up 10 that point. Until then
the decline in the price OF cereals may be
expected to continue. and il may not BE-
many years before our farmers viii be
ruined.

RESUBMISSICN IN A METHODIST
CONFERENCE.

The annual conference, held a few
days since at Holton, Kansas, took up
| the question of resubmiSsion now agitat-
| ing the state. Whatever may be said of
the Republican leaders of Kansas, or
however blind they may pretend to be as
to the strength of the movement, the
average Methodist preacher is never
asleep to what is going ON around him,
politically or otherwise A committee of
that conference which was raised for the
purpose of enquiring into the resubmis-
sion matter, reports that they can not
shut their eyes to all the talk, or. words to
that effect. In re-resolving for prohibi-
ton they whack the national Republican
party over the head as follows:
Another cause of uneasiness among the
friends of temperance is seen in the too
abundant indications that the controlling
party in national affairs. in which we have
so largely trusted hitherto IS rapidly drift
ing towards the adoption of high license
as the best methods its craftsmanship can
devise for the abatement Of the liquor
traffic
Again further on the committees re-
port which was adopted says OF The pres
ent administration:
Your committee cannot but express a
deep sense of disappointment in the result
Of recent amendment campaigns in the
east, and also, and especially in the lack of
that friendly feeling on the part Of the
present national administration towards
the cause of temperance which Christian
men had right to expect
The committee III one portion of their
report intimate that but for the attitude
Of the National Republican party and the
fact that several enlightened states had
lately repudiated prohibition, they would
dismiss the whole Kansas matter with a
"smile Of contempt" We would sug-
gest that before anybody, or any organi-
zation, political, religious or otherwise,
starts in to give the people the ''smile
Of contempt racket, they might do well to
look over the list of solid temperance
men and the men of leading minds in
this state who are demanding a rehear-
ing and another vote on a law which is
costing the state hundreds Of thousands
of dollars annually in attempted but I'M
satisfactory enforcement.

OUR HOG PRODUCTS.

From the Western Rural.
Swine will always be a conspicuous
feature III agriculture. There is a steady
consumption of pork products. We are
pork eating people. Upon every table,
there is more or less pork in some shape,
and upon every table there are pork pro
ducts of some kind constantly. The
consumption, therefore, is reliable. But,
further than this. on many tables pork
is the chief meat the year round. Then
the production Of pork is about as cheap
as any meats that we produce The hog
consumes considerable that would be
otherwise wasted; ard when corn is high,
the price of pork usually corresponds.
We may confidently depend upon our
swine therefore. to do as well. years to-
gether. as any other domestic animal
viii do. Disease has been the great
drawback to our swine husbandry. bat
we believe that the avoidance of too close
mbreeding, and a more natural system
of breeding. will protect us from disease
in very large measure.
