their boxing that the large crowd of
spectators Kissed and hooted them. The

The Decline OF Rural New England.

The Decline Of Rural New England.
Not only is the area of cultivated land
decreasing, but the land owners are SEN
sibly narrowing their tillage. The land
is growing poorer, partly from natural
causes and partly from less careful
working and the marked decrease in the
amount of live stock kept upon it. The
fact is. farming does not pay, especially
if help must be hired to Go a large part
Ct "he work.
She farmer finds himself the victim of
a.: the evils of a protective tariff with
out its supposed benefits. The promised
home market he has found to his cost,
if not his ruin, is a delusion and a snare.
If the manufacturing centers in his vi
cinity have raised the price of some of
his products they have advanced the
cost of labor in greater degree, and
drawn to themselves the best brain and
muscle from the farms.
He is being heavily taxed for the bene-
fit Of the whole list of these assistant in
dustries that rob him of his working
force, while the competition, intensified
by labor saving machines suited to the
large prairie farms of the west and
stimulated by lavish gifts of land to set
tiers and subsidies to railroads, ruinous-
ly reduces the prices of his products i'll
his natural home market. He buys
western flour and western corn for his
own consumption at cheaper rate than
he can produce them with hired labor,
and by reason Of the long winter is un-
able to compete with the west and south
in cattle raising for the eastern market
at his door. Combining his attention to
the few crops that, from their bulk or
perishable nature. are not subject to the
destructive competition of the west, the
ordinary farmer merely lives and pays
current expenses, while his less shrewd
and careful neighbor falls behind each
year, and sooner or later will be sold out
of house and home.-Professor Amos N.
Curriar in Pnnnlar Science Monthly

Grave Problems.

At last the bloody chasm has been
bridged. The war has really ended and
firing must soon cease. The farmers of
the west and north have joinel hands
with the farmers Of the south, solemnly
covenanting together to forget the bitter
ness Of the past and throw off the curse
of traditional se:tiOnalism.
The Christian manhood Of America
owes to the farmer a debt of gratitude
for undertaking this divine work.
We are confronted today with the
gravest problems ever submitted to the
human race for solution. 1t may be
that the destiny of the world hangs upon
the solution America will give to these
problems. We feel even now the earth
trembling beneath our feet with the
shock of the first battles of a world wide
social struggle. --Rev. Thomas Dixon. Of
New York.

The Patent System.

The patent system is u tax! That is a
Christmas thought that our readers may
we'll ponder over. Patents! patents!
patents! Without number and, many
of them, without reason. We make
the bold statement that there is hard
ly garment we wear, hardly a con-
venience we use, hardly sample Of
food we eat that does not draw a portion
of its cost from the patent system. Tele-
phones, electric contrivances, refrigera-
tor cars-things which are becoming al
most absolutely necessary to the public
are all backed up by patents until the
proprietors are enabled to demand rates
that are little short of extortion.
No just man will deny the right of an
inventor to an adequate reward for his
time and toll. but there is difference
between adequate reward and extor-
ton. The money spent in lawyers fees
in fighting infringements of patents is
simply astounding. The patent laws
