TIE FARMERS PROSPERITY.

The most welcome and Impressive
fact established by the last census is
the wide and even distribution OF
our wealth among all classes of our
countrymen. The chief agencies in
producing this distribution are shown
by the census to be the development
of manufactures, and the application
Of new inventions to universal use.
The result has been an increasing in

ufactu1es. Agriculture is now, as 1t
always has been, the basis of civilian
ton The six million farms OF the
United States, operated by men. who
as class, are tsteadfast, single-mind-
ed and industrious, form the basis of
all other achievements of the Ameri-
can people and are more fruitful than
all their other resources. The men
on those six million farms receive
from the protective tariff what they
most need, and that is the best OF all
possible markets. All other classes
depend upon the farmer. but the far
mer in turn depends upon the mar
llet they furnish him for his produce.
The annual output of our agricultural
products is nearly four billions of dol
lars. Their increase in value has been
prodisious, although agriculture has
languished IN most other countries:
and the main factor in this increase
is the corresponding increase OF our
manufacturing Industries. American
farmers have prospered because the
growth OF their market has kept pace

yvH THE REPUELIcAMss PATTY

I In his speeches last Friday on his
way through MARYLAND and this State
TO Parkersburg Senator Fairbanks
made many short and pointed express
sions, some Of which we give as fol
lows:

OF the government.
It has stood for the inhexible main
tenance of the public credit.

has been satisfied only when it has
written their prin ciples into the laws
Of the land and carried them into the

We need no allies, except those of
truth and Justice. The warning of the
fathers Of the Republic against form

powers; is as sound to-day as ever. and
it must continue one of the great con-
trolling principles in our international
affairs.

The Colonization Liar.

The colonization liar is again be-
ginning his talk \ certain paper last
spring gave a tabuated list showing
how many foreigners were being kept
at one place and SO many negroes at
another, for the town election, whereas
the whole business was a cheap grade
lie, such as the unprncipled and un-
scrupulous puppets who stoop TO such
paper had a fairy tale last night about
there being over q hundred strange
negroes in this community, who are
being boarded and kept here until the
election in November. There are some
things which can be smiled at as
going with a political campaign. but
utable homes so far forgets its mis-
sion and drags itself into the mire of
premeditated falsehood it seems to us
that it has about reached the limit.
How respectable and truthloving peO-
pie knowingly allow such a vile sheet
10 poison innocent, young minds with
what it knows to be lies out Of whole
cloth is beyond our comprehension.
Before we would StOop TO such a form
of campaigning we would abandon pol
itics altogether and cast our fortunes
with anarchists, who do not believe in
laws or officers.

the losses Of that city in the great

so large as those sustained by it dur

First cabinet" MeetIno.

The first cabinet" meeting of til,
governor and the State officers took
place last week in the governors of
flee and lasted for over an hour.
Governor Vardaman made a little
talk to the State officers, in which
he said that he hoped that they
would all feel free to come to him
at any time and discuss the needs of
their departments. He said that he
wanted every State officer to feel
free to make any suggestions in the
meetings in regard to the good of
the State and the best way to run
things smoothly and without fric-
llon. The governor was of the opin-
ION that the meetings should be
held at least once a month and of
tener If necessary. AT the meeting
last week the needs of the different
offices as to furniture was discussed
and the probable amount that would
be asked of the legislature for fur
nishing the building as it should be
furnished. No definite conclusion
was reached in regard to the matter. |
The State officers like the idea of |
holding these meetings and discuss
ng the needs of the State.

Fertilizer Sales Increase.

FertlllZer men announce ire
mendous increase in fertilizer sales
this season. The demand is 50
heavy that plants are being taxed to
their very utmost and are not able
to keep up with orders. Two rea-
sons are assigned for this large in
crease in sales by the fertilizer men.
They say that the high price of cot
ton and scarcity of the staple is
stimulating the cotton planters to
put every available piece of
ground in cotton. They say also
that the farmers all have money and
recognize the great value of fertil-
izing their lands. If there is any
virtue in fertilizer the hill counties
OF Mississippi will almost rival the
delta next season.
