SATUtnAY. JANUARY 25. 1890.
OUR AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS. Kor tne year ending June 30, io3v, our agricultural exports amounted to $532,141,490. These exports reached liigh water mark in 1881, when their value was $730,394,043. Since that timo they have been falling ofT irregularly, till they are now nearly §200,000,000 below 1SS1.
The decline has been in meat and broadstufTs, childly. While agricultural products have been falling off, manufactured products have been gaining in Uie amount and value of goods exported. This is some compensation, but still the amount is not nearly large enough to make up for the loss on agriculture.
It is not without reason that farmers have been complaining of hard times for the past few years. Times havo indeed been terribly hard for many of them. Low prices made the- trouble part of tho time. The cause of the low prices is beginning to be understood. It comes largoly from the competition of Russia, Kgypt and India in the wheat field. It is a cause that will not diminish with time, but rather increase.
Tho United States still raises a fourth of the world's wheat, but if tho countries named gain on us as they are doing. this cannot continue. Times may be yet harder for tho American farmer before he sees his way out. Under the circumstances, there is only one remedy. That will be in the direction of improved aiid varied agriculture. Tho farmer must bring all the resources of intelligence and practical science to bear on the case, and help himself out. He must learn to raise larger crops on a given space, and so hold his own in spite of low prices. That is one remedy. Another is to study the agricultural resources of our country and vary the crops, so that the tiller of the soil shall have several articles to sell instead of only one. The south has never been so prosperous as since she has taken to raising her own corn, pork and g-inlna vegeuibles along with bur clton.
THE METHODIST ITINERACY. Since the foundation of the Methodist Episcopal church the itinerant system among the ministry was what distinguished it from other Protestant denominations. The circuit rider was familiar as the log cabin and the shotgun to tho pioneers. From settlement to settlement be rode on horseback, preaching one Sunday here, next Suuday somewhere else.
Then the country became more settled and towns sprang up. Then a minister was allowed to have a station, ns it was called. lie might be the pastor of one church for two years, hut then he must move on. Rotation in oflice for the preacher wan considered best for the interests of church, and certainly the church grow and prospered mightily under the system, however hard it was on the mini tier to be a wanderer on the face of the ear h.
Al length there came a time when, bv 6peci.il permission, and at the wish of a congregation, the preacher might remain pastor of the same church three years. Finally the time was lengthened to five years. Now we are told that a minister of the denomination has accepted a "call" from a congregation in a distant state, in another conference. Will the Methodist church eventually give up the itinerant system altogether?
JUDGE KELLEY.
I3y the death of Judge William Darrah Kclley, tho. title of Father of the House of Representatives falls on that other eminent Pemisylvanian, Samuel J. Randall, from Republican to Democrat, but also from high protectionist to high protectionist.
Judge Kelley had represented the same district in congress twenty-nine years without a break, a longer period than any other member ever servod. Kelley was another American who found the road to distinction through a printing office, though he afterwards studied law. llo was of Scotch-Irish extraction, like Horace Greeley, and possessed many of the same staying qualities* that that blood gives.
Judge Kelley was also called the Father of Protection in America. It is remarkable, however, that he began life both a free trader and a Democrat. But he was a Democrat who opposed slavery, and at the founding of the Republican party in 1858 he joined that. Ton years before, however, he h«£) Ranged from free trader lo high tariff »«4vocate.
Rnt the highest best that can be
said of him is this: He was member of congress twenty-nine years, ami in all that time his perfect honesty was never questioned.
SENATOR INOAJ.M in his great speech in the Semite on Thursday, ou tho race problem, said that four solutions had been suggested—emigration, extermination, absorption and disfranchisement. A fifth—justice—had never been tried, and suggested that we try that. Mr. Ingalls went on to warn the South of the natural consequences of its courso toward tho colored people. "Despotism" he said, "makes Nihilists." "Injustice" is the great manufactory of dynamite. A man who is a thief robs himself. An adulteror pollutes himself, A murderer inliicts a deeper wound on himself than that whioh slays his victim. Tho South in imposing ohains on tho African race, lays heavier mauacles on itself than those with whioh it burdens tho helpless slave and those who are denying to American citizens tlid privileges of freedom, should remember that there is nothing so unprofitable as injustice, uud that God is an unrelenting creditor. Silent it may be tardy and slow it may be, but inexorable and relentless. Behind the wrong-doer stands the menacing speotre of vengeance and of retribution.
Civn, SERVICE COMMISSIONER ROOSEVELT will have in the forthcoming Midwinter (February) Century an article on the "Merit System versus The Patronage System," in whioh he defines the two systems, describes the attempts made to thwart the reform,shows that the system is thoroughly American and gives an idea of the kind of questions that candidates are asked.
IT is a little bit queer, but the stoutest demand for rigidly protective duties comes from the South. They want their sugar, their peanuts, their rice, and their oranges and tropical fruits all strongly protected Tennessee and Georgia want their marble and iron protected but they are willing to have free trade in the things they do dot produce.
GILBERT H. HAMILTON, formerly of the Colfax Courier, and late of the Franktort Times, has bought the Thorntown Argus and in the future will preside over the columus of that excellent little paper. Mr. Hamilton is a newspaper hustler and will make things lively abeuttlie old Indian village.
IT is estimated that the Senatorsliip of Calvin JBrice cost him not less than §500,000. This of courso includes the §100,000 he put up for Cleveland's reelection. Talk about the Democratic party being the friend of the poor man! It makes one tired.
