However, in npiie ot a goodly yield, we nan hear of a limited number of ''chronic grumblers" saying that tney are somewhat dis9apointed ; "Crops ain't as good as you heard they \vu/. " We have lived through the age of so callwd hard time?, and are now delighted to see a great effort on the part of the ''chronic grumbler" to get the "twist out of his moutli.'1 Indeed it. require an effort 011 th<? part of some people to admit that times are better and that farming does pay.

It is very un- I fortunate that it is sound wo hope 1 that it does not apply to tho fam- | ilies of any of our readers: Wo have been asked to name I what we consider the "most dun- i gerouB class" ofeitizen to he found i in this country. Without hesitation we answer, the increasing until- ' her of vouug people who think that manual lahor?work with your hands which produce food ur useful things?is degrading. These young people aro often the children of p >or parents who have denied themselves in th>? hope that .John or Mary may avoid the haidt-.hioK and life tragndieH which they hav?> encountered. The trouble U tlial John and Mary have be?Mi given the wrong view ot Ijl'e. Thoy should have been taught the <li^nity of labor, and the fact that a white Huul and a hopeful heart'can make the labor of the. hands an inspiration.

To our mind this is more dangerous than oponly to proclaim, violence to the Republic, for thope who do the latter can be punished, or put where thoy can do no harm,. The poor fooI? who despised honiHl | lauor, ana who win oat tne ureau earned by others before they will soil thoir hands, propagate as >cial disease which will eat the heart out of free goverment. Centuries ago productive labor was lelt to* tho slave. To feed and clothe aud i house tho world was a degrading thing. To oat the food and woar the clothes which tho ?lavo produced was the evidence of nobility ?tho mark of tho gqntleman) Too whole struggle for human , rights was fought ovt.r the princi- ' pie that the hand which producos | is made noble by producing.
