Der. OAly a guess can be made as to
the number of those who tail as farm
owners and are forced to seek a living
as hired hands or in others ways. Nor
IS there definite information as to the
number OF those who retire with COM
petence. But since over half were
either additional farmers or successors
of those who had deceased, it Is pro.
bable that less than a third of the actual
farm owners had been owners more
than ten years.
In the light of these changes the
rapid increase in the number of farms
cannot be reconciled with the theory
that farming IS found an Improbable
occupation. Neither can it be recon-
cIled with what is known as farming
Indebtedness. An official statement OF
recent date makes the mortgages on
farm property only sixth OF their
value in Ohio. The State Labor
Bureau makes the amount IN Michigan
abou, one eighth, and the Illinois State
Bureau makes the amount in that State
about one eighth. Where sixty six pei
cent, OF the farmers have become own,
ers within ten years, and yet all out
standing mortgages cover but twelve &c
sixteen per cent, of the entire value o
farms, it is the almost inevitable con-
clusion that the business must be pros
| porous enough to enable much the
greater proportion of purchasers to pay
off purchase money mortgages, and also
the debts created in buying stock enc
implements and IN making improve
men,s. Mr.. Atkinson published in 1881
information regarding 100000 farm
mortgages effected ty ten companle:
and firms, and showed that sixty pei
cent. OF the whole In number had beer
paid, with nearly 60 per cent. OF The
amount.
A business is not as a rule unproll
table which enables millions of person!
in every decade to start with heavy
debts and clear off more than half o
them. The obvious proof is that
large portion indeed of the farmers art
steadily accommodating profits, either II
the form of more land owned ard palt
Tor or IN money invested. OnlY
minority fail to accumulate wealth
either through their own incapaclty O
from all other causes. Yet it Is thl
class of men who are asked 10 organic
against the National policy of Protec
ton. TINS is the class OF persons WHIT
demand that railroads shall be forcet
to charge less for their services, al
though much more than hall the raj
roads in the country are at presen
unproftable.-M Y Tribune.

Farmers and Their Debts.

The condition OF agriculture has TOR
years been a favo;ite topic OF polite
ians and demagogues on all sides. The
farmers are many. They like TO believe
that they are wronged. If they have
made any errors of judge nent or con-
duct, they naturally incline to believe
the demagogues who tell them that
their troubles are not of their own caus-
ing, but have been produced by rail-
roads, or elevators, or banks, or money
lenders, or somebody or something else.
As to greater questions national poll
tics the effects upon the farming popu-
lation are constantly and angrily discus
sed. The opponents of protection
aft rim that the farmers suffer inevitably
from favoritism to other interests, and
the advocates of protection argue that
they suffer because farming is not pro-
tected enough. Out of all this it has
come 10 pass that the farmer IS eX-
tremely apt to be persuaded that he is a
victim of continual and tremendous in
justice.
1t has come to be highly important
10 get a correct idea of the facts about
this matter. MIR. Atkinson, an ecoao-
mist always inclined to attribute evil
results to protection, has publicly main
tanned OF late that the farmer is not i'll
real distress, and that his own frequent
want of intelligence and progressive
enterprise accounts 70, most of the ills
he has to bear. The widest statements
have been made regarding the amount
of farm mortgages outstanding, and the
desire 10 have some definite information
on that point, which it is hoped to
obtain through the new census, grows
largely out of the blunderlng notion
that farm mortgages are ordinarily evil
dence that farm owners have been los
ing money and thus getting into debt,
whereas by far the greater number Of
them only prove that farms are con-
stantly changing hands, and are usually
bought by people who are not able to
pay for them in full. a little examina-
ton will cast some light on that part of
the subject.
Between 1870 and 1880, according
to census records, the number of farms
increased 100000, or over 50 per
cent. Many of the new farmers bought
lands from railroad companies, having
deferred payments to make, or in the
same way from individuals, or from the
Government. 1t is not in accordance
with American habits to purchase only
what one can pay for when more can
be secured by means of deferred pay
ments, and the purchasers who do res
trlct their farm acreage to that for which
they can pay cash in full are unquestion-
ably only small proportion of the
whole. But besides the increase of
more than one-half in the number of
farms, there, were also those who took
the places of farmers deceased. and of
farmers who retired with success or in
failure. OF the adult males more than
a quarter die in every decade, so that
about 100000 of the farm-owners in
1880 must have taken the places of
others who had died since 1870. To
these two classes alone were due chan
ges amounting to half the entire num-

ELkTON. AUGUST 80, 1890.

The TACT that the Federal Election
Bill has been postponed does not
necessarily imply that 1t is dead.
This is the opinion OF the New York
San, and which is evidently the
correct one. The Democrats can,
however, render the bill useless
by securing to the voters of the
South fair and honest elections.

Mr.. McComas, in his speech al
Oakland a few days ago accepting d
denomination for Congress, called the
attention OF the farmers of SIaryland
to a fact or two relating to theil
interests under our pre1ant protec.
tive system, which it would be well
for them to consider. Let me, .
said he, "show the Democratic farmer
who believes that administrations put
up and down the price of crops, the
record OF prices CT breadstufs taken
from the best Democratic authority,
the Baltimore San, on the same day
in each year of Cleveland's and OF
Harrison's term.

Cleveland on August 10Th in each

Corn and oats have gone up in
like m nner. The farmer OF Mary
land has a more cheering prospect
than he has had III any of those
years. The railways are gorged
with freight; business in every direc-
ton is growing confident, towns are
booming, and good times are ahead,
and only delayed while the Demo
cratic senators talk endlessly to re-
tard the tariff adjustment, which will
settle business and let all the pros
pering breezes loose upon this Won
drous land and this favored people.

HAY EXCHANGE.
1t is proposed to afford the farmers
If Cecil an opportunity to sell their en-
tire hay crop at the fair grounds, and
secure the hay growers of the county
the means to meet the buyers OF and
dealers in hay face to face. Circulars
will be sent throughout the county
asking farmers to send to the fair a
sample bale of the hay they have for
sale. This will be exhibited In spe-
cial pavilion to be provided, where 1t
will be subject to inspection and sale.
Similar circulars will be sent to com.
mission men and hay buyers in the city
markets, and the entries of these lots
will be published by the society and
furnished buyers, as a guide to them of
the grade and quantity of each lot to
be sold. We think this plan an excel
lent one, and which will commend
itself for the business endorsement OF
the hay producers of the county. Ii
the hay exchange proves success this
year in bringing together the buyers OF
| and growers of Cecil hay, it will be
made a permanent feature of each
years exhibitions.
Another new and quite as important
| as new feature of this wears exhibition
will be the
MACHINERY HALL.
| This will be a temporary structure ior
the ample display of all kinds of ma
chinery, agricultural and otherwise, in
| motion. As our readers know, ma
chinery in operation, or as the popular
phrase goes lie machinery, constitutes
one of If not the most attractive feature
of ali exhibitions. Machinery hall al
our National Centennial in 1876 was
the most popular department, and nc
less was this the case at the recent
Paris Exposition, where machinery pal
ace was always crowded. Recognizing
this fact the managers will construct d
temporary building 900 feet long with
a lire of shaftlng extending throughout
its length, from which power will be
furnished exhibitors OF machinery. Mr.
McQuilkin, the engineer and machlnis'
of Elkton, has this work in charge. |,
will doubtless prove an attraction OF the
fair. In the line of industrial exhibl.
tons the
JAPANESE VILLAGE
will prove novel as we'll as an inslruc
tive feature. The managers will incul
considerable expense in securing thl:
unique and unusual display, but we be-
lieve the receipts at the pavilion where
it will be exhibited, will fully justify the
wisdom of the expenditure. The Japa
nese village affords an insight OF thu
industries of that very ingenious anc
industrious people. who excel az meta
and wood workers. 1t Is a miniature
industrial village of original Japanese
and was located for five consecutive
months at Horticultural Hall in Phlla
delphla. 1t is accompanied by all or
chestra composed exclusively of girls
whose artistic performances have re
ceived the highest encomiums of ths
