MIR. Depew to the Farmers.

MIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew delivered
an address at the New York State fair at
Syracuse on Tuesday. He had large
audience. Mr.. Depew spoke OF the de
velopment OF the agricultural resources
of the country by the railroads. Every
mile Of new railroad brings into cultlva-
ton one hundred thousand fresh acres.
A-half century ago there were 81 .ooo,-
100000 invested in agriculture now
there are 1000, 100000. There
were one million farms now there are
between four and five millions. Within
the last thirty years the acreage devoted
to corn has increased from fourteen
millions, and the amount produced from
five hundred million bushels to two
thousand million bushels. In the same
period wheat has extended its area from
eleven millions 10 thirty eight millions,
and the amount produced from one
hundred millions 10 five hundred
millions of bushels. The agents Of
the railroad induced immigration from
abroad, and thirteen millions of people
were brought to our shores after the
commencement Of railroad Development
Railroad rates in the last twenty years
have gone down over one hundred per
cent, while the products of the farm
have italian about so per cent. Gambl-
ing in food supplies and the European
governments upon the importation OF
our live stock and our pork, while our
production Of cereals and live stock
goes on, have brought about a depres-
sion which American statesmen and
farmers should remedy. The farmers
should organize. Mr.. Depew closed
by saying that in his judgement we are
near the bottom of the grade of agri-
cultural depression, and will soon begin
to climb up the other side. The rush
of the people to towns and cities is re-
cruiting the ranks of the consumers
out of all proportion to those of the
producers. Within brief period the
farmers of country will again find within
our own borders and about our own
homes profitable market for all their
products. Mr.. Depew said that he
belongs to a farmers club in New York
which is derisyely said to till the soil of
Fifth avenue, but though they may be
IN the condition of Senator Evarts, who
said to his guests at Windsor farm, "you
may drink either milk or champagne,
they cost me just the same" yet the
experiments of the, fancy farmer are
adding at his cost valuable contribu-
lions 10 agricultural science. Mr.. Way
back and Mr.. Hayseed, OF the Garcia
turist and of the stage, are characters OF
the past.

BY this record there has been gain
in the vote of five districts of the county
and very small percentage of loss in
the other four districts viz, 20 votes IN
the First district, so votes in the Sec
ond, II votes IN the Fourth, and in
the Ninth district. Ga the other hand
the gains in the popular vote in fine
last ten years have been IoS votes in
the Third district, II2 in the Fifth dis
trict, 10 in the Sixth district, "A in the
Seventh district, I6 in the Sth district,
showing a total gain in five districts of
$50 votes.
We cannot reconcile this increased
vote in the county with census return
which shows so marked a decrease in
population.
Now the proportion of voters to ac-
actual population being computed as
one to five, we can with reasonable ac-
curacy calculate what the population of
the county should be. Taking the vote

Judge J. Upsher Dennis of the Blltl-
more City Circuit Court has just re-
turned to that City having spent his
summer vacation abroad. The Balti-
more Sun on Monday published a
column of his comments on what he
saw abroads Judge Dennis while an
excellent Democrat has evidently not
looked at things while in England
through free-trade spectacles, as the
following excerpt from his published
comments will show.
"And talking about prices, found
nothing cheaper in London or Paris
except wooden outside clothes than in
this country. Cotton goods are
cheaper here, and SO to my surprise, l
found hosiery and underclothes. l can
buy the same make and quality of the
latter in Baltimore more cheaply than
l could at any place in London or
Paris, although l tried a number in each
city. And so also OF nearly everything
else.
Gin short, for man of wealth and
leisure, Europe is delightful place to
live, but for one who has to work for a
living there IS no place like America,
and it does not take one two months
to come to that conclusion. tere a
poor man can buy his bread and all his
clothes more cheaply Excepting his
outside clothes,) and he gets better
pay. This does not apply to judges"

Judge Stuart in his charge to the

Judge Stuart in his charge to the
grand jury in Baltimore on Monday,
called attention to the fact "that the
larger portion of those who are tried
for offences attribute their downfall to
the use of intoxicating liquors." Hs
also recognized the potential aid of the
press in elevating the standard of pub
lie morals, IN the following pointed
declaration as to its power: awe must
look to the press to educate the people
up to igher standard of morality, for
no matter how plain the provisions of
law, the jury who are its interpreters in
criminal cases. will be very apt to re-
fleet the standard of morals of the peo-
pie from whom they are taken. 1t is
our duty TO endeavor to make virtue
respectable and vice odious, and so far
as IN US lies. to punish and reform the
depraved."

you'll wonder how the ponder
Gus pumpkin, the stalwart
stalks of corn, the rich, full
sheaves of grain, the marvellous
vegetables, the great clusters
of fruit were collected for the
Golden Days. They tell of
many vegetarian triumphs.
Many farmers heart has
been bound up in these things,
and many a farmers pocket
book has been the fuller for
the prize.
The color Of the store is
golden. The thought comes
from the golden corn, the COL

Bountiful harvests make the
rich days of the earlier Au-
tumn the Golden Days of the
year.
Additional interest centres
at this period with the advent
of such new merchandise as
the needs of the season and
the active researches of mer-
chants bring together, from
points near and far, in this and
other lands.
1t is, therefore, quite proper
that our September occasion
for this year should be called
Golden Days.
The Store is to be made
very attractive by bringing in
to close company with the new
goods the sentiment of the

In our last issue we published the
census returns for this county, which
show that we had lost 1896 IN popula-
ton since the census of 1880, and 81
since 1870. We challenged the cor
rectness of that return, and showed that
we had gained 1743 presidential votes
at the election of 1888 compared with
that of 1868.

the gains of the other four districts only
amount to about 600, leaving a clear
loss in population since 1850 OF about
1900. We are prepared 10 admit that
in at least two districts viz, the First

to any thing like that returned. Nor
