THE TILI.ER OF THE SOIL.

There is but one person whose we,fa 70
is as vital to the welfare Of the whole
country as is that of the wage worker
tiller of the toil--the farmer. If there Is
one lesson taught by history it is that
the permanent greatness of any State
must ultimately depend more upon the
character of its country population than
upon anything else. No growth of cities
no growth OF wealth can make up for a
loss in either the number or the chara cter
of the farming population. In the United
States more than in almost any other
country we should realize this and should
prize our country population. When this
nation began its independent existence II
was as a nation Of farmers. The towns
We're small and We're for the most pa ri
mere seacoast trading and fishing ports
The chief industry OF the country was
agriculture and the ordinary citizen was
in some way connected with It, In every
great crisis of the past a peculiar de-
pendence has had to be placed upon the
farming population; and this dependence
has hitherto been justified. But 1t can
not be justified in the future If agrcul-
ture is permitted to sink In the scale as
compared with other empoyments, We
cannot afford to lose that pre-eminently
typical American the farmer who owns
his own farm
Yet IT would he idle to deny that in
the last half century there has been
in the eastern half of our country n
falling off in the relative condition of
the tlllers of the soil, although signs
are multiplying that the ma ton has
walked up to the danger and is pre-
pairing to grapplc effectively with il,
East of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio and the Potomac there has been
on the whole an actual shrinkage IN
the number of the farming populat ton
since the Civil War. In the States of this
section there has been a growth of popl-
latlon-in some an enormous growth
but the growth has taken place in tn,
cities, and especially in the larger cities
This has been due to certain economic
factors, such as the extension of rail
roads. the development OF mac hinery, and
the openings for industrial success afford
ed by the unprecedented growth of
cities The Increased facility OF COM
munication has resulted in the with
drawal from rural communities of most
OF the small widely distributed man
ufacturing and commercial operations
of former times, and the substitution
therefor OF the centralized commercial
