THE FARMERS CONDITION.
In the United States 1t il Better Than
any Other Country.

In the United States 1t Is Better Than in
any Other Country.
From the Century.
A philosophical view of the subject in all it's
bearings, is by no means disheartening to
farmers. The depression from low prices
which intensified and brought to light the ex-
tent and variety of discouragements realized,
is mainly over for the present. Generally the
farmer is prosperous. though he certainly fails
to secure lis full share in the rewards of his
productive labor. He is entitled to fair con-
sideration in such RENE lal measures for his
protection as may be possible under our form
Of government
In analysis Of material coming before the
writer, there have been omitted, almost en-
tirely, the views of many of the most progress
give. enterprIsing and influential of the rural
class. presenting as the most serious grievance
the absence OF effort to lind remedies for ex-
listing ills in practical Improvement in farm
management, in cooperation to control the
distribution Of their products. Regrets have
been expressed that the personal equation in
this problem of rural reform has been omitted.
Two quotations will indicate the views pre-
sented, both from the southern states. one
west of the Mississippi. rs follows:
A somewhat extended experience in prac-
teal agriculture of the state and good oppor-
tunltles for observation lead me to assert that
farming, industriously and intelligently fol-
lowed, offers as good inducements for the cap
ital, labor and skill expended as does any other
calling in the state.
The other from the Atlantic coast:
No real practical efforts are made for relief.
All the complaints made and all remedies pro-
posed are political. Many of the former are
absurd and most of the latter will provo futile.
We need smaller farms, more work, more
knowledge and less grumbiing What can be
done on small tracts highly fertilized should
be brought home to the people. SO that the in
experienced may initiate, even before they
know the reason why.
The farmers of the United States live under
better conditions for progress in their art-a
high standard Of living. advance in personal
culture and soil improvement. and pecuniary
independence-than those of any other coun-
try. Aspirations for higher Improvement.
equitable sharing in the results of produc tive
abor and n full exercise of the rights of citi-
zenship have been aroused. With wisdom in
action for political recognition, for advance in
economic education. for cooperation and self
help and for increase of practical skill and Pc
lcuniary profit the result of this crusade will
be highly beneficial to the farmers of the
United States

must be exterminated at once.
All the missionaries agree on one point, that
these Indians never were cannibals, and that
they had considerable excuse for tho cruelties
they used to perpetrate upon all foreigners who
fell into their hands. The conduct of many
reckless sailors has been such to carry out
the idea that they were bad spirits disguised in
human form, for they thought no more Of
shooting an Indian child or woman in wanton
sport than Of killing snake.
