POWER OF FARMING CLASSES,

1t has always been a very striking fact
that the farming classes have never eNer-
cised III. power which they possessed 10y the
mere force Of numerical preponderance. OF
the 17.393.O9) persons, male and female,
who constitute the total working pOpula-
ton Of this country, it is estimated that AT
least 1870, 493 are engaged, in some capa-
city, in some form Of agriculture, and Of
these, about 1,OGj,O0O are males. In other
words, about onc-half Of the population Of
the United states is directly or indirectly
dependent upon agriculture for support
and is. therefore, vitality interested in every
thing that concerns il.
1t is calculated that about 100000 Of
the II. 100000 votes that will Dee cast in the
presidential election Of 1872 will De by men
who earn their liVlihood by following az
riculturdl pursuits, and who Will thus con-
stitute nearly one-half Of the voting
strength Of the Union. The power which
such an enormous body Of men could
WELD 10 carry out any object which they
might have in view can be seen at glance.
Having precisely the same interests and
these interest being. similarly affected 10y
precisely the same influences, it would
seem only what might be expected for every
individual of the farming classes 10 vote
exactly alike, and that the members OF this
class have not hitherto done so is one Of the
most curious features of American politics.
Voting a. a unit, they could force through
any measure which they wished 10 see car
ried out. Their moral a. well as numerical
influence will be such that they would be-
practically irresistible.
Ii il only in the course OF the last year
however, that there appears to have been
developed very decided disposition among
the farming classes 30 act together for the
accomplishment Of common ends, and this
disposition is rapidly growing in strength.
aud as il grows. the power OF these classes
is beng felt IN more and more marked
way. In all the elections since ISIS, this
power has exercised controlling influence,
and it is not at all improbable that it will
decide the presidential election of 1892. II
will certainly do so unless the Republicans
van Vh't ih"ic idie' tue NNN''n"i i7H"' """
use il 10 infame the passions of the NORTH
ern people, so as 10 blind them TO their
true interests. The advocates Of tariff re-
form are very wisely directing their chief
energies 20 the dissemination Of information
ON tariff questions among the agricultural
classes, and as the latter grow more enieht-
ened ON these questions, they will be less
inclined 10 be controlled in voting by more
anGpathies.

TARIFF REFORM sENTIMENT.

one of the very happicst augurics OF the
final triumph of Democrat principles, WIN
reference TO the Tariff. is the indefatisahIe
energy that is beng displayed ~ the Talia
Reform Leagues at the North. This energy
is A. great in some ways rs If the country
were on the verge of presidential elecuon'
which would turn almost exclusively on the
tariff issue. THE TIMES recently bad oc-
casion 10 quote from an address OF Mr.
Clarkson. first assistant postmaster-"enc-
raj. TO show how much anxiety the Demo
cratic activity in this respect was arousins
in the breasts of thoughtful Republicans. ana
there is the most substantial ground Tor
such anxiety. The meeting of the Reform
Climb. in New York city. ON Monday nigh,
reflects the spirit that now now prevails IN
all parts of the Northern states.
In his introductory speech, Chairman Dc
witt said: "On behalf Of the committee /
am clad to report what has seemed TO IDS Tire
most encouraging outlook for our work That
If has ever had. For years, as most OF those
prcscnt will remember. our great problem
was how TO get the American people thor
ourbly interested in tariff questions, and
ready TO rive careful and intelligent com
sideration 10 the extent 90 which protec-
ted interests were 'dcad-beatn-' il at their
expense. For years the outlook was mot
encouraging. Excited by irrelevant Guos-
tions Of partisan politics. fooled by the no
ton that they had shared in the plumber or
too prosperous 10 miss the daily piliern- 10
which they were subjected, We failed 10
make an Impression.
but these times of indifference are past.
Mr. Cleveland has forced his patty 10 stake
its existence ON tarin reform. It's olpo-
ncnts have accepted the gage of battle thus
rendered. More than all, the steady
turn Of the tariff tlumb-scrcw has
nj last so tortured our farmers
that the cry for relief comes zap from
an parts of The Land. We have long strifen
TO get the ear of the people, and We now
have it. our greatest embarrassment Is
the suddenncss and extent OF our opporiu-
nifty. From an directions we are simply
overwhelmed by calls for literature, for
speakers. for cooperation i'm organizing
local tariff discussions, and these calls are
most numerous and loud from rural districts
that have hitherto been solidly protection
ist."
Irthis is the present attitude Of the rHral
classes Of the North towards the reform of
the tariff laws. how much more confirmed
this attitude VIII De when two years moro
Of work shall have been performed towards
strengthening and extending that reform
sentiment which is already so active and
far reaching.

peals are now being madc for food. go satisfy
an immediate craving. as well as for cloth
ing and seed corn, and unless these appeals
are met, the black population Will soon sink
into the utmost numerical insignincance in
the territory.
Probably, the NEGROES in the whole history

had a fairvr opportunity Of exhibiting what
ever power they might possess of advancing
their fortunes by the force of their own abi-
