J. Sterling Horton, SecrtUry of ^ Agriculture In Mr. Cleveland'* Cab inet, {• a rich farmer. Much of hi* wealth ha* come from the *oll. He ha* recently made* study of the condition* of American Agriculture, and here are •ome of hi* conclusion*: The farmer* are making a* much money a* any other people In the United States, They don’t jptake aS much a* they fofmorly ffltr No bu*- ine*s la. doing that. IVhy, we used to goi Id-pief cent for money out West on gUt-edged security. 1 have paid 12 per cent myself, mortgaging the t/estof real estate to get Lt, arid have made rhoney out of it. You can now borrow all the money you want forfl per Cent. The people are now Cofttented with small profit*. It is the *ame In the mercantile busine**. The MtorekeepCf* used to growl when their profit* were less than 2o per cent. They lire now glad to get 8 per cent. The truth i* that the farmers’ profits Have fallen the least, and failure* are proportionately less among them than fimong any other class of bustritai rifcn. Take this mat ter of, mortgaged farms. These farm ers are doing business on borrowed eap- tfit, and now and tbrn eote of them fails. The majority of the merchants do their business the same way, mid 90 1 percent fail at sometime fn their Jives. 1 believe the percentage of failures in theUry goods businessTs fully as high as it? per irent. The majority of the farmers succeed. They pay tholr ex- penaei, and in the end own their farms. -Tiic troiihlo with many of our farm ers Is that they are too apt to put ail their eggs into one basket. They ifo not diversify their crop*, and the failure of I a single staple causes the rdiu of the j whole *«>ctlon. There is a vast market ] for the American farmer in foreign' lands which lias not yet been touched. | We must study the wantf of the people i abroad and r:ri t teTood for them.

Thomas Dixon, the young North Carolina wonder, who developed in a few years from the common level cf a backwoods-poirtirtnn into em inence as a leading New York pulpit orator and lecturer, gives a gloomy picture of journalism in Gotham.

To prove that he recalls the cholera scare, when they gave column on column of dire detail and apprehen- aton. 1‘eople conierrnontly ^ccame alarmed, ceased going to New York and trade was quickly and generally par alysed.

When you undertake, to build a house* If you want a good one, you must em ploy only, the best workmen. As are the worWine.n, so will bo the house. The same rule applies in tlie present ease. If you would have a good con- s'Uutlon—one y«u can live under in peace and prosperity- you must have it made by good men. You must, select only such men .as are known to bo wise, iiatriotic, upright and just. You must he careful to avoid time servers—poll- tiwians—men who arc seeking their own *«itl*h end*. - r-• Continuing, Judge Earle referred to the condition of polities in this State. Many of you, no dotthf, remember, he ,*aid, when 1 was-a candidate against Oovsnini*' Tillman. When Mr. Till- tnail was nominated, I took the posi tion that hej wa* the nominee , of the Democratic party and when hi? mw elected, I took the position that lie wa* the Governor oTNhe State and should ho rtspeiftod as sucli. At that time there was gre:A ex itetnent all over the- State. The people were* dissatisited with the existing stateof affair*. They ’ were tired of their old men aftd^wanteil new men. l am not prepared tq say that the agitation has not beau, A o/ benefit to the State. But of that, peK. haps, it is not necessary to go into de tails. I am before you not as a Reform er, not as a Conservatkot-hut a* “a Democrat. Ever sinec thb agitation of !890. I have done all I could looking to the restoration of a better feeling among our people. There I* really noi corn difference in principle between Re formers and Conservative*, and it is - time'for us to forget factional strife and consider each and every Democrat on hU individual merit*. " In conclusion. Jijuig^r Hhfie said that Carolina have al ways been excitable.

He was wil ling to trust the jnajnrRy at all times, though he may not agree with it. lie advised the election of men who will protect the honor and welfare'of the IS late nod give us a constitution un- we do not raise enough eggl for our selves. Wo Import them by the mil lion*, and tlie cacklii got tens of thous and* of < anadian liens is heard daily over the egg* which they are laying foi' .lie 1 nltetl States. Eggs are beneath the notice of the average American farmer. His wife may, perhaps, get A bit of her pin money out of the chick ens, but that Is nib >Ve import a groat quantity of Oah- hagvs, and we buy fruit and nuts which we might raise ourselves, to the extent of millions of dollars a year. We are shipping more blitter every year, but New Zealand and Australia are crowd ing us in this line. They are sending vast quantities to England, and selling it there for a shilling a pound. Within four years the consumption of butter in | England ha* risen $10,000,000, and tlie ; Australian export lias increased nearly $4,000,000 during thl* time. Many [parts of our Southern Ktste* are now raising dairy product*, and in East Tennessee the chickens and tlie egg* last year brought in more money than all tlie wheat. Points On Hogs. “How about meat, Mr. Secretary? is not that market well eated for?” “No,” replied MrrMorton, “the meat market is not half w orked. We ship great quantities* to Europe, but we do not get die best prices. Take our bacon. [ It bring* 9eeuts-a prmnd-lM-JCngJond-. The Danish bacon sell* for 14 een’s a i |iound, and the famous Wilkshlre bacon i is worth 18 cents a pound. Had we gotten the best prices our bacon would j have been wojth nearly $10,000,000 I more to us than it was last year. ‘The j English like a lean bacon, and packers j there buy bogs according to tlie tlilck- ness of the fat upon their back*. A' hog that lias fat two and- one-fourth i'iches thick brings a shilling more i>er 20 pounds of its weight than a hog whose fat on the back is three inches thick. The English want lean swine. They will not buy ary hogs that weigh more than ‘MO pound*, as tifey know that bacon-from such hog*-is not in de mand. Here our amhitiop is to raise fat hog*, and I have seen car loads of swine which will average tOOYedndS’in weight. Still we have a great trade in farm products with England. Fully half of all our foreign exportsrgo there. We send more (Jjan 100,000 tons of hay and more than 80,000 tons of cheese to Great Britain every year. We serrd on ly 2,000 ton* of butter, and Denmark beats,«s in this article-alone by 43,000 tons yearly, “The trouble with us is that we are too luxurious in our method*. We have been umk-’iig money so easily that we enn’t appreciate the change in con ditions Hie w orld over, arid We have not tried to adapt ourselves to them. Our farmers are machine farmers.

A steam engine doe* tlie threshing, and a small part of the straw' forms tlie fuel whtclr-tnakes the steam. A*ft this is expensive, and if the vi lieat brings a low price, or tlierc is a crop failure, the farmer runs behind. He does not watch the small leaks-and In does not raise tlie iittle thingswhk'h'-par-so well. Take thuxmlpn errip. Onions alwmys jiring a high price here, and it pays to riilse.them.

They had not anticipated such a com- plication, and at last one of fbbni asked thb old lady how much she tlibught she ought to have. She hesitated a moment arid thefi MBT 'tffgrflnrbetbnrcd- really entitled to ask for a* much Of course, she got It, hut think how lit tle money she must have had in the past to have made such a fuss about this amount. 1 am surprised how mean men arc sometimes to their wives, continued Secretary Motion; not only farme'rs, hut other men as well. Woman U naturally a self-sacriticlng creature, and she submits try fnahy a thing a man would not (hink of tolerating. Speak ing of little meannesses, let me give sou an incident that 1 saw myself du- riug the days of the war. I happened to oe In a store ?ff my town one day, wheri an ohl fellow whom I will call Jones came In with bis wife to buy spme goods. This man Jones came from one of the morft celebrsted families in the United States. He settled in Nebraska when it wa* still a Territory, arid by economy and thrift he had now gotten a farm of somcthing-like 1,(XX> acres. He was knowrr to IrttVe money in tlie hank, and was considered wealthy. Well, shortly after he co tter ed the store Mrs, Jones took up a 'place of calico and admired it very 4quch. As she looked at it, she said to her hii*baudi r ' ‘‘I’a, I ought lo have a new dress, and I like this very much. Don’t you think ww could afford to buy it1* y ‘‘fffi, j suppose *o,” replied the old man, and he thereupon asked the clerk the price. He was told it was 60 cents a yard. Old Mr- Jones raised his eyes at this, ami asked ids wife how much it would take. She replied she didn’t think she could get along on less than 12 yardsi and he aTiswered: “Why. lint, 12 yards of that goods at M) cents s. yard would cost $ii. Now, riorr’t you think that that is pretty high?” “Yes,” she replied, “J do, but I need the dress.” -’‘•WelL setd the oM rtiari. times are ban]', ah.V I do wish you could get along without it just now. Could you?” “Y'c*,T snppnTfc f could,” replied the old lady with a sigh, andMie calico was dropped. A moment later old M*. Jones asked the >ame cleric if he had any tobacco, and whether lie had any of tiiat good old Virginia leaf, which they used to keep in stock. The clerk-aid: “Y'es, we havi*, but it’s awful high. It’s $2 a pruud, and I think Jttflll go higher before it gets less. We have just one caddy left.” ’ “Yon think it will go higher?” re plied Jones. “Yes said the clerk', it’s sure tb go up.” ‘‘Well,.you might put me up five pounds,” said the old man, and a mo ment later 1 saw him carrying it out of the store. He had not $<! to spend for his wife’s calico dress, but he thought nothing of puuingTIOInto plug co. This is a sample of the kind of treatment some wives are receiving everyday. 1 don’t suppose old Mr. Jones realised his selfiHhness. Me prota’ ly loved his wife,' but he had been brought upthg wrong way. The GoMittMonl Convention.
