WHAT WILL THX MtltTM fnfy agriculture becoming speculative? Hitherto, as an occupation, ft has not lt^en as raucn affected a# .almost every other branch of productive industry by the new methods of organization which have so trAhsformed the whole world of business.

The spinning wheel has been thrust aside by the steam mill the hand-loom by the waving mnl th« lapatone and the hammer of th^^hoen^aker by the factory filled with machines operated by gangs ffte'failor's &ck>#ej*ytfce slop-shop, where garments are made by dozens cat to average sixes, and on through all the varied round of productive employments, with the only exception of agriculture.

To .be sure, it* methods have been improved. Science has been applied to it its implements and its appliances .have been radically changed, yet still the individual was counted as an important factor in its operations. He had not fallen so utterly to the condition of a "hand" that his welfare could bo utterly ignored.

It was evident that the iron mill had brought will) it the tenement house and instead of the cottage, with its patch of grouud, the smiling landscape was defaced with the, ugly barracks in which the "operatives" were. herded yet still the independent farmer was supposed to remain he was still the owner of his own farm md to be relied upon as the supports f°£ our, ^republican institutions. He could,not be enslaved, jy» for his fellow workers *in other employments. they must make up their minds that the process of differentiation of industry was tfoe very foundation of civtlizatipn, and if they were packed rather closer, it) the, car of progress than was comfortable for them, they must consols themselves with reflecting upon the rapidity with which they traveled.

To te sure, the prophets of evil, the political Cassandra# of these modern days who shrilly Interrupted all our congratulatory songs of praise with their idle warnings of coming disaster, told us to beware that competition wanted only the application of machines to agriculture to to utterly destroy our reasonable reliance upon it for furnishing the independent class of freemen needed to give stability to otir social .progress.

The machines were made and applied, but there seemed to be no danger^

e,i

Nature ia so kind that she brings warm weather during the time their aid is requited, so that these buildings can be made Ui the roughest way. The "hands" will not be hired when they have to be pwte!ted from the winter winds. At that time, as they ate promptly discharged when the crop is gathered in with the lew dollars they may have saved from the pittance Iht were paid, they will probably have tramped miles away in search of work or else perchance may have starved in secKtng for ft

At least, their comfort or well being Is nothing to the speculative non-resident capitalist, who may be spending the proneeds of tlxtr work In enjoying himself la some distrait City. All the disagreeable details of hi* agricultural i$*culatio& he refers over»« his overseer. aad it is M» lookout If these "hands*" bother him when

»r

rThey

dliY their work in this new field of application ai well as they did elsewhere, and why should they not prove as worthy of admiration here as elsewheret

And so they will, as long as they are used As aids to the workers but when they get into the hands of speculators, tlie inevitable crisis which, sooner or lator, must come to the freedom of industry, will be found at our very doors.

It is here now. The simple statement of tjie methods employed in the great farms of the West, by which speculative non-resident capitalists propose to transfarm thfj wheat-growing regions—the fit domain for the support of a teeming population of self-supporting, self'reliant independent workers, into vast planta lions, wlicnv with steam machinery, the land is to be utilked for raising crops to be shipped out of the country, is enough to show how immediate is the crisis. jThc calculations for. these speculations provide for n^fapl c*opa to aown and reaped by machines. The work is to be done by raeahired by the week in the seasons of sowing and reaping. The very poverty of these "hands" is used to hire them cheap, for the eight or nine weeks they may be wanted, during the weeks of the year. For their accommodation, rough buildings we put up, in wj^ch they can he herded.

Chinese officials. When he announced his intention of returning home,

the Re

gent of the Chinese Empire offered to appoint him special embassador To "the United States and the greaf European pow-: ers, for the purpose of procuring treaties of amity "with those Natiorii, ari- hbndr never before conferred upon a foreigner.

Mr Burihsgame arrived in this country and concluded a treaty with our Government which provided, fhgeneral, thatIhfe privileges enjoyed liy Western nations under the international law—the right of eminent domain, the right of appointing consuls at the ports of the United Bfatcs, and the power of this Qovernmeht grant or withhold eommerfctaf prrivilegeB and immtfnities at its Own discretien, subject to any treaty—slwuld be secured to China that nation undertaking to observe the corresponding obligations prescribed by International law toward other peoples. Special provisions ako stipulated for entire liberty of conscience ana worship for Americans inCliina and phinese in America for joint efforts against the poolie trade for the enjoyment of Americans in China and Chinese in Aim*^ica aH rights In respect to travel and residence accorded to the citizens" of most favored nations for similar educational rights in the public institutions of the two countries, and for rights of establishing eehools by citizens of either 'Country in the other. This was the first treaty made by China with an outside power.

Recently it has been generally understood that a new treatyliad been concluded by Minister Seward and the Cfffinese officials, differing from the Burllng^he treaty to the benefit of the' Uhited States in the exclusion of an unde^irabie clftBftof Chinese immigrants. The latest

subject is in a sp&eial to f&t' ^indfiHirti Gazette, of date M&ch 21, which says: Secretary Evarts^ reasserts to-night that no riew treaty with China lias been nego tiated. He says the obstacle lit tlte way of bringing matters to a cohchssioti is tTmt China has been considering the policy of exclusion against &I1 American trade, arid in view of tnis fact it is difficult to obtitin sOch modifications of the treaty in refcard to restricting Chinese emigration with ©n't precipitating an order dming American commerce out of China.
