The Singular Appearance Of Terraced
Mountain.

From the Tucson Star.
During the recent visit Of Jesse R. Grant
and Charles J. whimple TO Sonora, Mexico,
on business they were much struck with the
sight of q terraced mountain. 1t is located
about fifty miles southwest Of Magdalena
The mountain is circular in form, about
three-quarters Of a mile in diameter at the
base, and is terraced from base TO peak. The
height of the terrace is from ten to twelve
feet, and in man places is built of solid ma
sonry. At many other places il is cut out OF
the solid rock. The roadway is from 10 to 20
feet in width, starting at the base of the noun
tain and coiing itself spiral like TO the peak OF
the mountain, which is not less than 200 feet
higher than the base The cost of this ter
raced road must have been enormous. The
remarkable feature of this wonder is the state
Of its preservation. Here and there the ma
sonry has yielded to the influences Of time, but
these are exceptions.
At the base of this terraced mountain il q
mighty door, which has the appearance of
having been hewn out Of q solid rock, and
weighs one hundred tons or more. IL ID
placed at the mouth of what appears 70 be the
entrance to this terraced mountain. Hero
another query 10 suggested. Does this door to
the mountain open the way to mineral treasure
or to the shrine Of ancient religious devotees?

We take special pleasure in call
ing attention to the farmers meet
ing held in the Court House on
Saturday last, the proceedings of
which appears elsewhere in our
columns. We have taken occasion
several times to call the attention
of the farmers to the necessity of
inaugurating movement of this
kind, looking to the protection OF
the farming interest, as by concert
of action much good may he accom-
plished. Agriculture lies at the
foundation of all business enterpris-
es, and while many things may be
dispensed with from considerations
of economy eating must go on,
besides there is no other single in
dustry that gives employment to SO
many people.
The disposition shown by our law
makers in the past few years to
place this industry upon higher
plane is graceful recognition of
the farmers rights, as evidenced by
the passage of the 'Hatch Act"
appropriating $4,000 annually for
agricultural Experiment Stations
in the several States to be used in
diffusing among the people of the
United States useful and practical
information on subjects connected
with agriculture"
Another important step in this
line of procedure was the elevation of
the Agricultural Department. to the
more degnified position of an FIX
ecutive Department of the govern
ment, presided over by a Secretary
of Agriculture, who is now mem
Der of the Cabinet. Farmers gener-
ally hid become FESTIVE under the
failure of our legislators to give to
the Agricultural interest the recogni-
ton it SO justly deserved, and we YER
| lily believe that the advance, which
has been MAIDEN legislation apoa this
subject has been brought about
through the agency of agricultural
associations. Then let the farmers of
Mason county give hearty sup
port to the Farmers Alliance, this
being one of the leading counties of
the State in wealth and population
and she should not be laggard IN
any thing that pertains TO the welfare
of her people.

The Russian influenza.

The peculiar climatic influences
of the past few weeks have general
ed an epidemic of influenza which is
likely to be nearly as widespread
and severe as that which has been
ravaging Europe. 1t is not neoes-
sary to suppose that this disease was
brought from Europe, as many sup
pose. The same conditions which
led to its development there might
produce similar type here, and it
is quite likely that we have borrow
ed a French name for a purely
American institution.
AT all events, la grippe is a pecu-
liarly obnoxious and un comfortable
ailment. 1t finds its victims where
ever the atmosphere carries the
germs, and leaves in its wake a
dangerous train of pneumonia,
bronchitis and pulmonary disorder.
Happily, tho American type of Ia
grippe proves fatal in only few in
stances. 1t is not more so than the
"epizootic' of twenty years ago, and
various other maladies of a similar
character.
As with all contagious diseases
the Russian Influenza is half-disarm.
ed of danger when it is met in the
spirit of a philosopher. Topreserve
the general tone of health, to be
vigorous and active in habit, and
above all, to keep perfect serenity
of mind is to be in the best possible
condition to resist the inroads OF
disease, In this respect Ia grippe i,
not different from any other coward
Iy enemy that has to be met and
conquered. Those who are invalid.
by choice of vocation are likely tc
suffer most kneenly from this new
American disease with a foreign

ers and fatl.ers of this great Re-
public. like all other illustriuns
persons, held in highest esteem
agricultural industry. Washington
said oft: at will not be- doubted
that with reference either to in
dustI-iaI or national warfare, ag-
riculture is of primary Importance.
In proportion as nations advance
in population, or other circnmstan-
ces OF maturity, this truth becomes
more apparent and renders the cul-
tivation Of the soil more and more
an object of public PATRONAGE
Could the distinguished Father Of
his country have seen how in the
law and justice the great agricul-
tural industry of the country has
been degraded and enslaved, it
would make him less anxious TO be-
stow even the least noiety of pro-
lection, to the "infant industries.
Under ten years of Democratic
low tariff, farming was 80 per cent
more prosperous than it has been
under a Republican high protective
tariff. The increase was from
1850 to 1860, s3,373, 400, 5s6, from
1860 to 1sSO-twenty years ss,552,
05l,769. Under low tariff farm
ing increased yearly 100 per cent;
under high tariff the increase was
?! per cent. In 1850 our farms rep
resented 46 per cent. of our Nation
al wealth and in 1860 they repre-
sented % per cent; a decline of one
half.
The patriotic farmers of the
country are surely self sacrificing
class of citizens, who sacrifice the
fruits of their labor to build up vul-
gar monopoly. By direct taxation
that is State or local taxation-
these easy going farmers pay fully
three-fifths. They send men to
Congress to make laws that rob
them and their families and prefer.
the glory OF party that has no re-
gard or respect for human rights or
human obligations.
Nothing can be more absurd than
the cry of protection from foreign
pauper labor. Are not these pro
tected industries of ours sending
week after week and month after
month the products of our looms,
factories of all kinds, and all kinds
of machinery to England, and un-
derselling the slaves of free trade
there? No Intelligent person can,
or will, deny this.
What in the name OF God do the
monopolists want to be protected
from? They want to be protected
from prosperous freepcopie-they
want 70 have the farmer held down
while they rob hi.n of what is his
by every right, human and devinc.
The idea of protecting labor from
the pauper element of Europe is
rather weak, for within the last ten
years more honest, hard working
people have been ground down to
pauperism than in all the rest of the
world.
We should read and think, and
shake Off the incubus of this internal
gloom-and the sooner we do so the
better. The Republican party is
nearing its end, and when that end
comes the angels will rejoice.
