A Netable Sermon for Farmers.

The following is a synopsis OF a
bacalaureate sermon delivered by
Prof. C. S. Walker, before the gradu-
ating class of the Massachusetts,
Agricultural College in June last.
"Heretofore in all parts of the
world the farmers have been no
match for his adversary. He has
never held his own against the sol
diers or the priest; against the poll
tician or the statesman. In ancient
times he was the slave; in the middle
age the serf. In the nineteenth cen
tury he is the slave, the serf, the
peasant, or the proprietor, according
to location. American farmers as a
class are face to face with a crisis.
They have subdued a continent and
furnished the raw material for our
factories, bread for operatives and
manhood for our civilization. They
lave sustained the nations credit
with their hard-earned dollars, res
cued endangered liberty with their
conscientious ballots, and defended
time and again the Stars and Stripes
with their loyal blood. Vigorous In
body, strong in character, striking In
individuality, lovers of heme, massive
in common sense, fertile In resources,
devout believers in Providence, the
farmers of America will never allow
themselves to be overwhelmed by the
fate that sunk the tillers Of the soil
in India, in Egypt, in Europe. From
all parts of this land farmers are
coming together. Organization and
corporation are the wonderful ideas
that have awakened them as never
before. They + grasping hands
with a grip that means something,
comparing ways and means, uniting
upon ends to be gained. They de-
mand for themselves and their chill
dren an education equal to the best.
They insist upon a fair share of the
profits Of American industry, claim
ing that no State can longer exist In
which the tllers of the soil bear
most of the burdens and share little
of the blessings of advancing civihz-
alton. But they are in danger Of
making mistakes in the struggle that
shall turn back the progress Of the
movement. They demand leaders.
To supply this demand is the i'm
peritive duty of the educated farmer.
Whatsoever Of bodily vigor, mental
power, and moral heroism the
educated farmer may have acquired
from ancestors, college, or university,
he will need, that he may c~onsecrate
tito the great work of STRENGTHENING
his brethren, the farmers of America,
so hat they shall ever remain an i'm
movable foundation of this the only
Republic whose empire has not been
rapidly undermined.
Gradually, but surely, the people
of this great nation J awakening to

The Farm eKs' Alliance.

mers' Alliance in this years election
is not so large, generally speaking,
AZ was expected; but is large enough
To prove that new force has en-
tered our politics with sentiments
and purposes that may considerably
influence the course of things in the
next two years. 1t IL apparently
stronger in Kansas than in any
other state, and stronger in the
west than In any other section of
the country. The majority of its
members, there is good reason TO
believe, have heretofore acted with
the Republican party; and there Is
nothing to Indicate that, as an or
ganization, it has any wish or inten-
ton TO give aid and comfort to the
Democratic party. The objects that
it seeks to accomplish are such as
relate entirely to the improvement
of the condition OF single class.
II processes, of course, TO have the
interest of the whole people at
heart, but III reality it takes account
only of the wants of agriculture.
That is at once both its strength
and It's weakness. 1t appeals to the
farmers III such form as TO WIN
their support for selfish reasons; but
at the same tlme 1t antagonlzes all
other classes because IL practically
discrlmlnates against them. The
theory OF It's existence, IN other
words, Is narrow aud unrepubIlcan /;
and It's career must, therefore, be d
comparatively short one.
There is something to be said,
nevertheless, Ia justification of this
movement on the part of class TO
protect and promote It's own inter
estS. The tact Is well known that
the farmers have not been treated
with the consideration due TO them
by reason of their numbers aud the
importance of their branch of in
dustry. They have had unjust bur
dens put upon them, not always
purposely, but by force Of circum-
stances, which should have received
more attentio;. Their pursuit has
been gradually growing less profit
able year after year, and the politl-
clans have treated their appeals for
relief with more OF less Indifference.
They have asked and are asking for
many things that are unreasonable,
il l., true; but they are not Wild ia
all of their demands, aud 1t is not
just to say that they are animated
by spirit of revenge and destruc.
ton. L Is their rIghl 70 lnalsl LhAl-
legislation, bOLh national and local,
shall he so ordered as to insure them
equal advantages with other classes.
That is only common fairness, aud
neither Congress nor any State Leg
islature can afford to deal unfairly
with such au element. The Repub-
Iican party aas doue much from
time TO time for this as we'll as other
Industries; and 1t can and should do
more. 1T has the opportunity 10
perform a timely and profitable SER
vice for itself 10y convincing the
farmers mat it is their friend and
can be relied upon TO favor them as
far as consistency and expediency
will permit. The Alliance can not
hope To get everything that 1t is
striving tor; but 1t is entitled To
some of the things in its list of
grievances, and Republican states
manshlp should BRING them to pass
as soon rs possible.-T, Louis Globe

TUE point OF most interest in the

as cost at factory, s., 1000, to thl'
add 25 per cent. for transportat:o;
and middlemen's profits, and We
have $9,S43,750, the sum the people
of this district must pay annually
for dutiable manufactured articles
to make the extra cost on account
Of the tariff, $2,250,00O $9,S43,75C
divided by 1865, 200, the estimated
population, gives about 800 that
must be expended for manufactured
dutiable article, for each person, or
about $500 for each family of five.
No one experienced in ordinary
housekeeping will gainsay that pro-
visions, fuel, light, taxes, insurance,
church and lodge dues, amusements,
etc, cost three times as much as the
clothing and household furnishings
for IA family. This being admitted,
it appears that if each family of five
in this district expends $500 per
year for dutlable manufactured
goods, its total living expense is
four times that sum, or 81 200 per
year,-$240 for each person from
sucking babe to lettering grandslre
else Capt. Bushnell's statement Is
but "the fgment OF dlsorderei
brain" His statement of cost on
account of tariff to people of the
state and Nation, being IN same
ratio, is of course equally untrust-
worthy.
In saying that the Mckinley bill
increases the tariff about one-thira,
Capt. Bushnell merely reiterates
what some one else has said, which
is common popularity of some
species of dementa. He evidently
has not read, or Numbered in an
attempt to make a calculation upon
the law. Every school boy knows
that the Mckinley bill reduces the
duties on imposts about 500, 100000
per year.
In referring to The sugar schedule,
his mental alteration is most sadly
manifested. How can the putting
of the lower grades of sugar on the
free list, and reducing the duty on
all higher grades from q and 81
cents per pound, TO uniform rate
OF ! cent per pound operate TO put
the difference of many millions an
nually into the pockets of the sugar
trust? Free traders generally

kidney complication, Mr. Tyson, the au-
thority quoted, finds that the cases do well
An important rule is that the patient should
live continually in the chosen place, and not
return, even for short visits, to lower alti-
tudes.
This length of time, as stated In The Brook
iyn Medical Journal, be believes to be fully
two years. Cold, dry air is stimulating. Ac-
cording to Mr. Tyson, it is detrimental to all
fungus growth. The secretion from a cavity
has tendency to dry up It's rarefaction in
creases the number of respirations. and has a
considerable influence in permanently ex-
panding the lungs. Slight oozing of blood
from the mouth nose and throat is common
when patients first arrive. 1t may be thar
the mucous membranes near the surface of the
body become dry, and there may be slight
congestion when the air is cold. In the lungs,
however, the supply of watery fluid is 50
great that dryness is impossible, and, at the
same time, the air is warm before it reaches
the lungs. The removal OF the watery va
pors would even relieve the congestion with
out bleeding. 1t may be- however, that the
diminished air pressure tends to draw the
blood to the surface, and so cause bleeding
Mr. Tyson believes, however, that these
slight hemorrhages do not harm, and that
the membranes soon become accustomed to
the changes in the air.
