In the U. s. Senate when the Tariff bill
was under discussion--Mr. Morrill, OF
Vermont said that glut Of misinforma-
ton was disseminated on the subject OF
agricultural depression. There was con-
cealment of the fact that the prices Of
farm products were depressed through
out the world. The only possible remedy
within the reach Of the American farmer
was positive protection against foreign
competition and such encouragement to
other avocations as would increase con.
sumers Of their products. He asserted
that in 1888 had 1t not been for the duty
Of 20 cents bushel on wheat. the wheat
Of India would have snatched the market
Of New York from Wisconsin a. well ~
from other Western states. There were
some political pessimists who croaked
about hard times and ignored the general
prosperity everywhere apparent. He ad-
mitted that the present condition OF the
farmers was not as good IS 1t ought to
be. 1t was said by such pessimists that
the farmers were oppressed by q vast in
crease of mortgages. That was certainly
not true in the Older states where what
ever mortgages existed were held largely
by other farmers. The bulk OF mortga-
ges due, especially In the younger states,
were from young men just setting out In
life who had not sufficient capital to pay
cash down for fair sized farm. Farm
mortgage indebtedness had been grossly
exaggerated. He understood the census
reports would show farm mortgages In
Kansas and Maine to be less than a
quarter of the amount represented.
The Somerset reporter., 1890-08-07
Maine Farmers.

The census which has just been taken
reveals an almost uniform falling of in
population throughout the older farming
sections of Maine, notably In waldo
county, where 1t amounts to from 10 to 10
per cent. Iu the best and most accessi-
ole farming sections the falling of, how
ever, has been but little, the greatest loss
being In the more remote towns and on
the rough and less desirable lands. Hon
Il. A. Gilbert, secretary of the State
Board Of Agricultural. speaking concern
ing this decline in population, which also
necessarily involves the question Oh

the rural towns chiefly, and am quite
sure | might say solely for the reason
that they entertain the idea that they Will

that the desertIon of farming towns Is

formerly occupied small farms and sup
piled A portion OF their wants from the
soil. Nearly all have left for the city or
larger town. Almost the only exception
10 this is the blacksmith, and much VI
the country work Of his kind Is now done
in the city, Farmers all have to go to
town to get their boots tapped. These
little homesteads are not now wanted Tor
the reason that there is not income
enough from them. So the houses are
empty or have been torn down anu the
land attached to the adjoining farm At
any rate, the population Is not there.
Men Of limited means occupying small
farms leave them because they can earn
more money away than they can realise
from their farms under the reign OF the
present low prices. small farm Is q
good place to live, but there Is but little
net income from 1t. can go out at any
time and hire man and his wife right on
q pretty good farm of their own because
net wages count up more than net profits
from small farm. SO this small farm-
er leaves and the country town Is so
much the less. Young men go TO the
town to seek the employment open to
them There Is still some emigration TO
the West. Men Of means go there from
city and country alike, but young men go
from the farms on the glittering, repre-
sentation that there are to be found
greater opportunities for success than are

And how the summer cloudlets cast their quickly

On the distan, fields OF rustling, ripening corn.

With leather.covered Bible open wide,
While my sweetiaeed mother listens. as she lays

And rocks the old cradle by her side.

When evening prayer In simple words is SAID

abandoned Farms"

A statement has been going the rounds

abandoned farms In Maine, and giving q
gross Misrepresentation OF the facts and
tending towards serious injury to the
States welfare. The Journal has inves-
tigated the matter with q result which IL

announcement by Hon. 8. W. Matthews,

The distress of the agricultural class is
confined not simply to the United States,
but Is felt all over the world, and 1t Is due
perhaps to great number OF causes, but
especially to the disproportionstely rapid
development Of industrial life in other
directions. The most hopeful outlook
for the farmer that mas ever been prU5euJ-
cd is that made by Prince Kropotkin, In
the August number Of the Forum, that by
means of scientific and intensive agricul-
ture the farmer Is to be the coming man,
and we are on the eve of q reign Of
plenty. He shows how, In some Of the
most deusely populated parts Of Europe,
crops are grown on poor land of many
times greater value than the richest crops
grown by the usual methods on the rich
est land, and he gives reasons for pre-
lution In agricultural methods. The ar

sorts OF crops under various conditions.

Profits of Literary Success.

l know young verse writer who is
looked upon by the world in every respect
as successful poet And she is. By that
l mean you see her poems in all the lead
ing magazines, and her acceptances out
to have poem in five of the best maga-
zines in single month. Every periodical
reader knows her work, and she has her
name on two published volumes of verse;
Her success has been considered excep-
tional, and it is. Yet saw from her own
memorandum book that, during the entire
year of 1889 she received not $500 for all her
poetical work. Some will say, but that is
poetry. Very WE'LL here is an instance in
biography
An eminent biographer spent nearly
three years compiling work which when
published, only recently, excited the ad-
miration of critics and public alike. 1t
called forth columns of newspaper praise
in one case, a newspaper devoted one entire
page to its review-and there was not a
dissenting voice as to the accuracy, literary
style and strength of the book. 1t dealt
with a great subject and great epoch, and
the author is regarded as great author.
That man received exactly $6S2 as the re-
venue of his three years work, and the
work has stopped selling. A London
edition of 500 copies was sold-a large sale,
in sheets, of an American work of biogra-
ply. The foremost English journals gave
it pages of review. 1t sold, in England,
exactly II copies.-Edward w. Box in
Ladies' Home Journal
