TALMAGE'S SEEMON.A Discourse on "Narrow Escapes,"with Its Application.If an May Yh Hold on th P r o u U e t ofGod, Even After * Life of Rebel-ion, But the H o ar of Sr*I* Now.

Rev. T. DeWitt Talm&ge deliveredthe following sermon on "Narrow Es-capes" in the Brooklyn Academy ofMusic, taking for bis text:X am escaped with the skin of my teeth.Jobxiz. ,20.Job had it hard. What with boilsand bereavements and bankruptcy, and fool of a wife , he wished he was dead;and I do not blame him. Hisfleshwasgone , and his bones were dry. Histeeth wasted away until n othing butthe enamel seemed left He cries out:" I A J X escaped with the skin of rayteeth." There has been some differ*e nce of opinion about this passage* St.Jerome and Schultens, and Drs. Goodand Poole and Barnes, have tried alltheir forceps on Job's teeth. Yon denymy interpretation, and say: "Whatdid Job know about the enamel of theteeth?" He knew every thing about itDental surgery is almost as old as theearth. The mummie s of Egypt, thou-sands of years oiut if you will go down-stairs my partner in business willswear at you." AU your good resolu-tions heretofore have been torn to tat-ters by explosions of temper. Now,there is no harm in getting mod it youonly get mad at sin. "You need to bridleand saddle those hot-breathod passions,and witn them ride down injustice andwrong. ~

the world that we ought to bo *rud atTirere is no barm in getting red-hot ifyou only bring to the forge that whichneeds hammering. A ma n who has nopower of righteous indignation is animbecile. But be sure it is a righteousindignation, and not a petulancy thatblurs and unravels and depletes thesoul. The ship Emma, bound from Gotten-burg to Harvvick, was sailing on, whenthe man on the lookout saw some thin?that he pronounced a vessel bottom-up.There was something on it that lookedlike a sea gull , but was afterwardfound to be a waving handkerchief. Inthe small-boat the crew pushed out tothe wreck, and found that it wa s a cap-sized vessel, and that three men hadbeen digging their way out through thebottom of the chip. When thevessel capsized they had nomeans of escape. The cap-tain took his penknife and dugaway through the planks until his knifebroke. Then an old nail was found,with which they attempted to scrapetheir way out - f the darkness, each oneworking until his hand was well-ni?bparalyzed, and he sank backfaint andsick. After long and tedious work thel ight broke through the bottom of theship. A handkerchief was hoisted.Help came. They were taken on boardthe vessel and aaved. Did ever mencome so near a watery grave withoutdropping into it? How narrowly theyescaped!escaped only "with the s kinof their teeth."

There are men who have been cap-sized of evil passions, and capsizedmid-ocean, and they are a thousandmiles away from any shore of he l p.They have foryears been trying to digtheir way out They have been dig-ging away, and digging away, but theycan never bedelivered unless they willhoist some signal of distress. Howeverweak and feeble it ma y be, Christ willsee it , and taardown upon the helplesscraft, and take them on board; and itwil l be known in earth and in H e ave nhow narrowly they escaped"escapedA S with the s k i s of their teeth*"I find in the communit y a large classof men who have been so cheated, solied about, so outrageously wrongedthat they hare lost faith in every thing.In a world whfere every thing seems sotopsy-turvey they do not see how therecan be any God. They are confoundedand frenzied and misanthropic, flab-orate arguments to prove to them tbetruth of Christianity, or the truth ofany thing else, touch them nowhere.Hoar me, all such men.

F A R M AND G A R D E N ,PRUNING SHEARS.

Implements That Every Farmer ShouldA food pair of pruning shears whichwill operate with readiness and ease isan important tool to the gardener whokeeps trees and shrubbery withinproper bounds, but badly constructedthey are iu : so convenient and usefulas the sinffle-bladed knife. We haveseen those that were of very littlevalue, requiring a hard pressure of thehand to cut off a small twig; and agai&we have had the sat isfaction to workwith those which with littl e effortsheared off a green limb over an inch indiameter. All the difference exist ed inthe form or construction. When thetwo blades of the shears , meet squaretogether like a common pair of scissor*,they will not prune off a larjfe shoot;

FIGUBK8 1 AXD 2.T>ut if one moves over the otherobliquely with a draw or sawing motion,their efficiency is greatly increased.The tool manufacturers of past yearswere aware of this difference, and theyemployed a complex construction likethat represented in Fig. 1. The "draw*vu.1T was effected by tike movable cen-ter, so that when the handles werepressed together the connecting roddraws the nearer blode downwards, andincreasing the cutti ng power severalfold over the simple shears. For prun-ing or cutt ing grafts above the reach ofthe operator, it is sti ll common in someplaces to attach to a pole the shearsrepresented by Fig. 2, which are workedby * cord attached to the nearer curvedblade; bat as the out i s only tb*t of aa pair of scissors, it can be used only oilsmall twigs. The cut shows where thepivot is on which the nearer blade ofthese shears moves, being the cen-ter of the dotted line. In Fig. 5, with a*4_r.ht alteration, the pivot is placed on

F I G U R E S 3 JLSTD 4.the rod, giving to the further blade themotion of the dotted l ine, sawing andcutt ing off larger limbs, and acting asefficiently as the implement representedby Fig. L Fig. 4 shows how a very ef-ficient pair ol shears may be made on asimilar principle; but all its efficiencywould be lost if the pivot were placed atthe curve.Country Gentleman:

Stockman, variesfrom the time the calf i s dropped untilit is several weeks old, but we think attwo or three days old is about the right

time to take the calf away from its dam.The calf wil l suok in a lit tle while afterit is dropped, and no matter how muchthe cow's udder is inflamed she will le tthe calf suck and butt all it wants to,and it uses its privilege freely. It isthought this butting is of service in re-ducing Inflammation, on the principle ofcounter irritation, we suppose; but atany rate the cow will allow the calf tohandle her udder tnuch more roughlythan she will lot a man rub it, andeither the rubbing or the butting oughtto be done. Another point in favor oflet ting t *e calf suck for a few days is,that for the first three days after calv-inj? the eow is more liable to have milkfever than subsequently* and if her calfis with her she is much better sati s-fied and wil l keep very quiet, and thistale of quietude is just the one we wantto keep her In, as any excitement, atthat time in just a* dangerous as to thehuman mother under the same circum-stances.

THE APPLE ORCHARD.How Beat to Raise* Cvltl*t &**d Owefor ItUseful Hints nod IMrectlona bya* Eiperleaevd Illinois Fruit-Grower.The following ^%vtr on "How toRaise, Cultivate and Care for an AppleOrchard," was delivered by Hon. Thom-as Lowrey, an experienced ordhardist ofFlora, 11L, before the spring meeting ofthe Fruit-Growers' Association of South-eastern Illinois . From it we take thefollowing:"Having selected the site for myorchard, I would, in the fall of thye*r,with the plow throw up a ridge on thelines surrounding my orchard tract forthe purpose of plant ing hedge, Iwould then with a plow, or what wouldbe better, a road scraper, throw up aroad twenty feet in width on each sideof the tract, thereby making a roadentir ely around the orchard."I would then plow the ground intolands thirty feet wide, or as near thatwidth as may be, to make the rows comeout an equal distance apart Thirtyfeet, I think, is the proper distance toplant. The land should then be har-rowed sufficiently to make a good bottomfor a meadow. Then when the propertime comes for seeding 1 would, if tim-ber land, sow it in clover, one peck ofseed per acre. If prairie land, I wouldsow it in clover and timothy, at the ratecf one peck of clover seed and one gallonof timothy per acre."When spring came, with the land ingood condition for cultivation, I wouldplow a strip six feet in width in the cen-ter of each land, as deeply as I could,throwing the dirt out, then harrow it welland throw the dirt back with the plow.This will leave the land in fine condi-tion for planting. I would plant thetrees thirty feet apart in rows each way.When ready to plant the first thing Iwould do would be to plow entirelyaround the tract, having a lath to standexact ly where I intended to plant eachtree, in the outside rows of the orchard.The ntside rtiws should be. I think,about twenty-five feet from the centerof the road which was laid out aroundthe orchard. '"I would set the trees about twoinches deeper than they grew in thenursery. After leve ling the bottom ofthe shallow hole in which you are goingto plant, take the tree, and with asharp knife cut off all broken or bruisedroots with an tmderalope. Examinecarefully for borers in the roots, and becertain not to plant any with the tree,ait in al l probability you will haveenough of them without goittg to thattrouble. Now place the tree in the hols ,spreading the roots as evenly in eachdirection as possible, placing the sidewhich ia most heavily rooted t o th*southwest; now sift the loose dirtamoogtt the roots, pressing it in o asot to leave air spaces, then fill in withdirt until the roots are thoroughly cov-ered and tramp down solidly, then fillup with loose dirt and leave the treestanding as nearly perpendicular assible.I would plant nothing but yearlingtrees. As soon as I was done plantingmy orchard I would plant the hedge ofosage orange, placing the plants twofeet apart in the row, then put a barbed-Wire fence, of at least three wires, di-rectly over the hedge."I would with a double-shovel or cul-tivator keep the strip of ground inwhich the trees are planted thoroughlycultivated until the middle of July, atwhich time I would carefully examinefor borers, repeating the middle ofAugust and about the last of September,at which time I would wrap the trees toprotect them from rabbits. The stripof clover between the rows should bemowed when It is ready to cut for hay,and lef t lying on the ground as it fell,to act as a fertilizer . After the leavesfel l I would go over the orchard andpick off every leaf roller, caterpillarn*t_ and. in fact, every insect or insectharbor I could find, dropping them intoa sack swung around the neck. Whenany considerable number were collectedI would empty them out and buthem. When good weather came in thespring, I would again examine forborers.

A WOMAN WHO WAS C C O UHow a *Lady of Wealth Captured ft Bur*in Her

We are reminded of an iucident thatcame to our knowlel^e some years agowhich should show women t h a t pres-e n c e of inind and th e power ofself-c o n t r o l have a saving power where im-pulse and lack of courage would havebeen certain destruction, says Mrs,Henry Ward Beecher in the Consumers'Journal. We may have written thisbeforewe are not surebut it willbear repeating maay times if any willprofit by the lesson and leara to prac-tice self-control and similar presenceof mind in circumstances half as start-ling. In this case one instant's waver-ing or weakness would have cost life.A lady of wealth and with the richsurroundings and costly works of artthat wealth brings was one eveningalone, with only one servant in thhouse. Being in her chamber as shelaid aside articles of jewelry intheirappropriate places in her bureau, shechancedtoraise her eyes to the mirroropposite, and from a light in the othercorner c! the roomshe canght in themirror the reflection of a figure of *man curled up under a large centertable, but hidden from all sight savewhat was gained Vy this reflection inthe mirror. In this way she saw oneof his hands resting on the floor. Thishand was minus two fingers, andtfheknew at once that close uj her was oneof the most desperate characters whosecrimes and fiendish deeds had beenthe terror of the surrounding countryfor miles. Now who could blame herif she had screamed or made a hurriedeffort to reach the door? Hadshedonoso it would have scaled her fate. Batforcing herselftobe calm she finishedwhat she was doling at the bureau*thenquietly stepping to the bell rang forthe one servant inthe house. Whenthe girl appeared she quietly mud:"Mary, I wish you would run over toMr. (a jeweler in the neighbor-hood) and say I wish he would sendback the diamonds he lias been reset-tingthey are the most valuable I have,and I amuneasy to have them long outof the house. Tell him to send themby you to-night even if not finished;wait, I'll write a note for fear of anymistake." So seating herself with thegreatest apparent composure at thevery table where the man lay conceal-ed she wrote the note. O course shewrote not for the diamonds, but forhelp! The girl took the note, andalone, absolutely, with this great ter-ror concealed close by her, the ladywaited. That no suspicion should bearoused she busiedherself puttjeg var-ious things in different places. Howterrible must have been that waiting!How full of joy and safety the soundof

the bell when the girl returned, andwith her the friend and the police, whocaptured the man before he could re*sist*Tfcc Progress of Languages.

C A M P - F I R E S T O R I E S .LEE'S APPLE TR .

Only On Northerner Beeared a G*nutaAppulnattox Blle.A recent article in the Atlanta Consti-tution said all the published statementsthat numerous persons in the North hadrelics from the famous Appom attox ap-ple tree, were absolu tely false. It stated,upon the authority of Confederate Gen-erals who were present at the surrenderof General Lee, that only one man COB*neeted with the Union force had everobtained any portion of that tree, andthat he had only a portion of the root ortrunk. It explained th at the wholetree had been cut to pieces by membersof the Confederate army before theUnion forces came upon the ground,and that the master of transportation ofthe Union army, who, at General Leo'srequest, supplied the Confederate armywith rations was only able to secure thelast remaining portion of the tree andthat it was forty-eight hours after heappeared before any o ther mem ber ofthe U nion forces had access to the field.The article also added that the sole pos-sessor of a piece of this historica l treenorth of Mason and D ixon's l ine wasColonel Bates now of Philadelphia.The writer ascertained that the per-son referred to was George H. Bates, atpresent proprietor of the Oriental Ho telIn Market street, in this city, who wasat the time of the surrender of Lee'sarmy master of transportation of thearmy o' the Potomac. Mr. Bates, whenquestioned upon the subject yesterday,gave his statement of the matte? as fol-low s:" Y e s , sir. The statement is correct,and I am the man referred to. When Ihave heard and read accounts of persons

having canes and other articles madefrom that famous tret* I have beenamused, because I know that I am theonly man north of Mason and Dix-on's l ine who ever obtained a relic fromthat tree This is what occurred onthat memorable Ap ril day when Leesurrendered. I was maste r of transpor-tation in the army of the Potomac Im-mediately upon General Grant's returnafter his meeting with General Lee,who had surrendered, in compliancewith General Lee's request to have foodsent to h is starvin g troops, I receivedorders to prepare a train of wagons withrations and to take them beyond ourline* under the flag- of truce into theenemy's l ines and report to GeneralLe e ."A speedily gathered nineteen wagonloads of rations passed through our linenand passed along the road near the fa-moos toee ander which Lee had waitedfor General Grant I inquired for theConfederate General's headquarters andf M anasvered two or three times by fce-img spit at. Finally I found it , where

with General Lee and his staff officers abrief t ime was spent pleasantly in whichsome prime applejack was produced, ofwhiah we all took a nip. Then I askedsome Confederates standing around tounload the wagons, but they refused,being Southrons, who esteemed manuallabor evidently degrading, whereupon Iotdered my subordinates to dismountand unload; which they did grudgingly,as they doubtless thou ght if we weregood enough to brin g food to the enemy,the latter might at least be w ill ing tocarry it away."W ell, about 4:30 or five p. mu westarted with th e empty wagons back toour lin es. On the way I saw Confeder-ate soldiers hacking away at the stumpof the tree which a few hours previoushad sheltered General Lee from thesun's rays. In reply to my inquiry therelic-seekers said they w anted souvenirsto keep of th e tree under which theirGeneral had surrendered. Then therewas nothing left but the root. I imme-, diately took a jack-knife and cut out apiece, which I have preserved to thepresent time, and another piece which Ihabded to xn r carpenter, who carved outa ring w ith a heart on it , which I havealso kep t I was given a pass by Gen-eral Lee's Adjutant-General to go in andout of the l ines at wilL I have also pre-served that. Here it is ."The document was then shown thewriter, signed by General Lee and coun-tersigned, bearing date April 9, 1865.Mr. Bates continued his story by say-ing* that on his nex t vi sit -into theenemy's l ines not the sl ightest vestigeof any portion of that tree, branch, orroot, remained, and with the exceptionof General Grant and his two staffofficers, General Raw lings and ColonelLeete, no Union officers or soldierspassed the l ines until forty-eight hourslater. He therefore feels convinced thatthe statement made by the Southernjournal is correct that only Confeder-ates, with the exception of himself, ob-tained any portion of that historicalThere were other apple trees at a dis-tance, but stil l in the vicinity of theplace of surrender, which the Unionrelic-hunters speedily laid under trib-u t e .Mr. Bates showed the writer tlio pieceshe obtainedthe root, v*wich is 3xGiuchus in dimensions, and the ring withthe heart graven on it .PhiladelphiaTimes.THIS annual report of the AssistantAdjutant-General of th e Department ofWisconsin show s th e present member-ship oi the departm ent to be 18,987, anet guin during the past year of 1,991,The deaths for the year aggregate 150.Twenty.ni-w posts have been organizedand ninstored during th e year.

THE TERRO R O T BATTLE.Personal Experience* Illustrating- theStmllty of the Situation.During the war we used to read ofcompanies fall ing back, regiments giv-ing ground, and brigades becoming1 de-moralized, and the average reader tookit for cowardice and openly expressedhis contempt. No man ever went intobattle twice alike. No company, regimen*or brigade were ever situated twicealike. A man may be very brave in onebattle and very timid in the nex t Hisphysical and meutal c onditions havemuch to do with it A private soldierknows the position of his entire brigadein a fight If the position is a strongOne he is encouraged; if the flanks areexposed or the defenses are weak he isnervous and apprehensive.It is a grand stake the soldier playsfor in battle. If he wins he majr liveon until the next fight If he loses hegets a. headstone in a National ceme-tery. I can notr make you understandthe situation batter than to give youpersonal experien ces. The great major-ity of soldiers had the same feeling andpassed through the same experiences.At first Bull Run my brigade gainedground ibr several hour*. This, with asmall loss of men, kept u s encou raged.Indeed, it was hard for the officers to re-strain us. Every man was hopeful anddetermined, and any single companywould have charged a regim ent Thepanic had upset thousands before ittouched us. Indeed, the retreat hadbeen going on for two hours before wegot word. We w ere well in hand andready to advance when the news reachedus . In five minutes every man wasshaky. In ten minutes men whosoface s were powder-stained were snea k-ing out of the ranks to gain the rear. Inquarter of a n hour half a company ofConfederates could have driven thewhole brigade l ike a flock of sheep . Isaw men cry l ike children, I saw otherstremble and sit down from weakness.Every fresh report added to the feelin gof terror, and by and by pride and dis-cipline gave way to a grand rush, andit was every man for himself. No onewould stop to reason. No one caredwhether his comrade w as ahead or be-hind. This was called cowardice, but itwas no t It was pan icthe terror of b*fc>tiea senseless but powerful som ethingwhich seizes the b ravest men and make*children of them.

In the streets of Fredericksburg I sawFederal soldiers discharge their mus-kets into the Air, when the enemy waswithi n point-blank range. I saw plentyof them drop on their faces and tremble,groan and cry. Th is was a case where ev-ery man saw the hopelessness of attack.Be felt that he was pushed forward to boshot dow n. There w as no way for re*treat until the l in es should fall back.On the other hand, the Confederatetroopr posted behind the sto ne wall a tthe foot of May res Hill joked andsmoked and were in the h ighest spirits,feeling themselves secure from bullets,and knowing they could beat back anyforce. One of them told me that aftertaking a dead aim on thirteen differentmen and dropping every one of them h erefrained from firing the next quarterof an hour after sheer pity for the hu-man targets being shoved up to meetdeath.At Mai vent H ill my regiment lay inthe dry bed of a creek at the foot of theelevatio n. It was a natural rifle-pit, andsheltered us so well that we had on ly aslight loss in kil led and wounded. Asthe Confederates charged across thefields we felt to pity them. We pouredin our volleys without danger in return,and out of five Confederates who rushedinto our Hues in their bewildermentthree were crying and sobbing. Itwasn't cowardice but terror. No cowardcould have been induced to march acrossthose meadows in the face of that ter-rific fire from cannon and musketry.At Cold Harbor, after beating offevery thing in our front, and while mostof the men were cheering, some onestarted the report that the Confederateshad gained our rear. Two thousandmeu broke back like a lot of boys, someevn throwing their guns away, and thejeers of other troops had no effect untilthe frenzy had had time to evaporate.At Gettysburg my regiment had thecover of a stone wall , and we knew thatwe were well supported. We hoped fora charge, and when it came every manwas cool and calm and confident Oneband of prisoners numbering about thir-ty, was led past tts on their way to therear, and I noticed that many were cry-ing and all were w hite faced. I h aveseen the best soldiers and the oldestfighters win their medals in or > battleand show the white feather in the nextI saw a second lieutenant almost cry forthe privilege of leading a charge at Antietam, and yet at Chantil ly he fel l intoa ditcb and pretended tc be hit sr; &s tadrop "behind in the char ge. Cowardsnever go to war. If they get into the

ranks through the draft they desert orcomrait suicide. It is only brave menwho lace the grim monster on a field ofbattle, and next to the foe his worstenemy is a terror which seizes him &z achi ll or fever might come on, and thereis no remedy for it except to get awayfrom the screaming m issiles of d eathuntil one's nerve and sand returns.Do-troit Free Press.

UN CL E JERRY'S ADVICE.How to Afford Belief from the ExistingAgricultural Depression.President Harrison made a happy hitwhen be selected ex-Governor Rusk, ofWisconsin, for the Secretaryship of theDepartment of Agriculture. Among allour public men there is no warmer ormore popular friend of the farmers than"Unc le Jerry," He will not waste theappropriation for his department in im-practicable and costly experiments, orin the encouragement of fancy farming,such as c apitalists indulge in as a pas*time, or dreamers resort to in illustra-tion of th e proverb, "the fool and hismoney are soon parted." He is as trulythe farmer's friend as " Poor Richard'1was in his day, and herein h is a mostworthy successor of Benjamin Franklin.His latest letter ought to be publishedin every agricultural journal in theland. We har e already called atten-tion to his general explanatio n of theagricultural depression, but the subjectis too vast and vital to be dism issed.The most serious problem of the hour iehow to afford relief from tills depres-sion.Right here it may b e observed tha tthe depression does not extend to thePacific slope. The fanners on thateoMt are more than usually prosperous,and that from Mexic o to British Colum-bia, espec ially i n Southern California.We do not refer at ali to real-estatespeculation. The fanners out there whotore down their vines and cut theirvineyards into building lots, al lured onby visions of fabulous wealth from thegrowth of new c ities, may have beenfiaught in the lurch, but those who keptright oa "sawing wood" are gettinggood te turns for their time and money,provided they only observe the good oldrule that "he who by tb* plow wouldthrive, himself must hold or drive."Thi s may be more prose than poetry,according to the modern standard ofliterary art, but it is c ertainly goodsound sense.It m ight be difficult to say which isthe greater cause of this d epression,lower prices for products or greater costof l iving. The prices of the things thefarmer buys may have fallen as muchas the prices of what he has to sell , butnew wants are c onstantly springing up.Compare the pres ent with the periodjust before the war. The farmer* werejust beginning then to have patent ma-chine ry for their work, while notr thefirst cost of th e tools and m achines ofmany a farmer c omes well up toward,the value of his land itself. Of coursethe land varies in price with its remote*ness or nearness to the great m arkets,but there is a great deal of positive ex-travagance in this lin e of purchase,and stil l more waste in allowing ma-chines and tools to decay from ex-posure to the weather when not in use,be broken b y carele ssness or otherwiseallowed to deprecia te. The keeping upof machinery and tools has come to be avery heavy tax on the farmers of thecountry, and no inconsiderable part of itis really unnecessary.The farmer's purc hases cover a verymuch greater variety of merchandisethan formerly, and many things whichby prudence could be saved. As a ruleour farmers are good providers. If th eywere any thing l ike as economical asthose of other countries they would berich. What w ould pass in Europe forgenerous living would be intolerableprivation among our farmers. There isno prouder evidence of our advancedciviliza tion than the contrast hereinbetween Americ a and Europe. But it iseasy to carry it too far, or, rather, it ishard to keep it within bounds. TheAmerican farmer wants hiis wife anddaughters to have not only all the com-forts, but many of the luxuries of life,and at the present depressed price ofproducts it is hard to keep the store billdown within the l imits of what he canreally afford. Thi s is true not alone indress, but in food supplies as well. Theuse of luxuries has increased enormous-ly all through the agricultural districts.All the legislation in the world can notafford relief. For the most part, thefarmers must each for himself acceptthe lim it of hi s net income, over andabove interest, taxes and hired help, asthe limit of h is expen ditures for ma-chinery, tools, dry goods and groceries.That, in plain Saxon, must be the be-ginning of the end of hard times amongthe farmers.Chicago Inter Ocean.

LAND I N ENG LAND.Bow Frc Trwt* Ha* Afitoctd th Inter-ests of British Farmers.Protection is to-day quoted ty everytree-trade paper as the first, chief andonly reason for the losses sustained byfarmers in this country, the depressionin the price of their lands and the de-crease in the selling value of the prod*ucts of farming.England ha3 all the advantages offree trade. It has had them forhalf a century. As its population i ssteadily increasing and half of it is ingreat cities, each acre has more andmore to do in supporting the populationand should increase in va lue. In thiscountry, also, in 1880, 44 per cent ofthose at work . were on the land raisingsomethin g to sell. In England on ly 14per oent. are thus occupied, and thelabor of each inevitably has a closer anda larger demand. Yet o ne of the bestauthorities in England, Mr. FrancisFuller, one of the most capable landagents and auctioneers in the UnitedKingdom, put the depreciation from 1875to 1885 in rents in En gland and Walesalone at $150,000,000 a year on 82,000,000acres, the total a gricultural area of En-gland and Wales, an area twice theacreage of the farms in Pennsylvania atthe last census. This was a loss of one-third of the rental value, and i t repre-sented a loss of $4,500,000,000 on thesell ing value of this land. In addition,the farmers cultivating this soil hadlost in ten years 0500,000,000 in workingcapital.The land of England and Wales,therefore, in area a fifth smaller thanthe combined farm s of New York andPennsylvania, lost in value and capitalin ten years by this expert estimate,made by a man handling land all hisl i fe , *5,000,000,000- Ah thus wa s underthe freest kind of free trade, whic h in"fair Kent," the best land in England atthe gates of London, had, as the speechof one of its members, Mr. Brookfield,said Febru ary 9, 1888, lef t **upward of25,000 acres of arable farm land abso*lutely uncultivated."We wonder if there is any fool m orout of any free-trade newspaper officewho thinks the farms of this State andNew York have lost $3,000,000,000 in thelast fifteen years, or 500,000,000, oreven $50,000,000. Yet th is is th e losein England and Wales. It is th e esti-mate accepted i n all discussions; it isquoted with approval by the LondonFie ld and it has never beeti contro-verted. Th$* decrease in rent has gon eon since 1885. It is to-day nearer 9200,-000,000 than $150,000,000, and the depre-ciation in value is nearer $6,000,000,*ocaYear by year sees it worse. It affectsproduct as w ell as rent and value. From1880 to 1883 the total farm p roduce olthe U nited Kingdom fell from SU12V320,000 in valu e to $ 49 L,r< 9*000, a de-crease of one-six th, the figures beingpublished in Apri l 1880, in the LondonTimes, bj Mr. A. H. Lee. In the UnitedStatoa, from 1880 to I88S, th e Talfte ofcereal crops, cotton, hay, tobaocft, pota-toes and farm anim als rose in theitfarm valtie from 18,696,000,000 to 94,331,-000,000, an advance of one-sixth.Yet in the fao* of facts l ike thesewhich show a loan in the value of farmlands in England in ten years un detfree trade thirty-fold g reater than theentire revenue collected under a pro*tective tariff here in the same ten years,and a decrease in the value of farmproducts of 15 per cen t there and n in-crease h ere of 15 per cent. there arefools who are actually writing andprintin g articles about tha harm doneto farmers by protection, and the ad-vantage they would enjoy under freetrade.Philadelphia Press,
