What is that tendency ? It is not practicable, or material to my de- sign, that the various directions taken by the energies of this age should be delineated ; it is "-sufficient to say that tin most remarkable is Derhaps the fierce and 'abnormal stimulation ot the productive powers of our race, and the1 accumulation of individual wealth in the handling and distribut ing: ot it.

We desig nate the trio as mining, manufac tures, and commerced In each the highest skill, the brightest genius and most unsleeping energies of the human race are now employed. Science, with her searching eyes, is made .their servant. They are di vided and subdivided; to each man is assigned his task, and none can survive except the . expert and the specialist. ' '- ' I j If a new or important method or expedient is discovered, evejy other man or method is immediately tested by this new standard of excellence. There is no conservatism, everything is progress. In, every department and sub-department there is a keen and , constant straining after the greatest possible ; results with the . least possible' expenditure of means, and to these results the .social and . the political world are forced to con duce without stmt and 'without re morse. As their means increase their re sources likewise increase, and these : three great classes of workers draw . ; nearer and nearer together; Their al ! liance, indeed, has become complete, i and their organization for offensive i and defensive action is perfect in all . i essential particulars. Touch but one I of them, or any one of their depen . ' dent industries, and the armed bat i talions and mercenaries of all the ! others are instantly in line to defend. The cause of one is the cause of all. i Now, against whom is this alliance framed? Or, if that be too strong, . i upon whom is it to operate? Of : course, the aim of it all is to make money; but out of whom? It can on ly be the soil-workers for they are the only, class of producers remain i ing. , Agriculture completes the i grand enumeration of the industrial I forces of society.. It is by its follow I ers the others live, and upon the fruits 1 of its labor the others grow rich. The j field for combination is inviting; the means are ample, and, the victims i patient and unresisting beyond l the- dreams of cupidity.; It is a I: fact worth noting, that of all the co i lossal fortunes owned by so many American citizens; not one has been by agriculture all have come from I same other pursuits.' Many thousands j of them are made yearly by handling i the farmers' products, but not one by the farmer himself. Every man who i touches his productions makes more i clear profit thereby than did he in coaxing them from the earth. - Even i the brakeman on the car which . transports them to market gets more pay than the man who held the plow. ! One country merchant' absorbs the profits of a hundred farmers; one in the great cifry will absorb the clear J earnings of a thousand ; one railroad i line will consume the net proceeds of i a province. This, too, in the -brdina- ry course of trade, to say nothing of j extraordinary courses, of corners, j and all kinds of combinations and I pressures of which they are so often ! the victims. ! : In round numbers there are en gaged in agricultural occupations i 8,000,000 of people. Now, allowing j three dependents, or non-workers, to avu w ui a.er, wuicn is allowed - for u i-ue c asses in tne census reports, uu uave a,Vuuuuu flouw near- iy nail our entire population, de pendent on agriculture for their subsistence. They represent more than twelve thousand millions of capital, including stock and im plements, and: their annual pro dact is about two and a quarter billions. As . they are the most numerous, bo are they also the most widely dispersed class of our people following any gainful occupation. 1 hey have cleared the wilderness and broken to the plow five hundred and thirty-six millions of acres -of the virgin soil of America, divided into . four millions of farms. This area is constantly enlarging. They furnish seven-eighths of our foreign com merce, and their fertile fields, under their energetio hands, aided .by skil ful modern implements, have be come, beyond all thought of rivalry, the granary of the world. It .is capable of demonstration, that under the stimulus-of universal and unre stricted traffic, the . United 'States could in a few years more - feed and clothe the human race. And yet the agricultural class of this country is the prey oft the others. Each of them has more of honor und of profit. The plow is under the ban, deny it who may. Mining, manufacturing, finance, trade and transportation draw to themselves nearly all the genius and. ability of bur people, that does not go to .the professions, be cause their rewards are greater. They organize for the promotion of their respective interests on most thorough methods,, and combine on the basis of an identical welfare. Bv these means they secure discrim inations against the agriculturists in the social code, in the laws of trade, and more than all in the legislation of the country. In the common men tion of affairs they are positively ex cluded in a matter of course way that takes one's breath almost. In what has come to be called "bu siness' and "the business interests" they are not supposed to be embraced at all. We hear every day that the effect of thisorthe doing of that, or the omission of the other, will "promote the business interests," or will '.'alarm the business interests," or will be "resisted by the business interests and often it is said the "business interests demand" the do ing of not doing of a certain things In other words, the claim of the banks and stock dealers, the trans portation companies, the manu facturers, etc., though a great minor- ity, to regulate affairs and control legislation, is upeuy acMiuwieugou, and acquiesced in. The .larger class who make bread and meat for the others and furnish the chief means of their foreign exchanges, are not referred to or consulted; their labors and cares by day and nisaiJiheir hopes and fears, their prosperity and welfare, are . not "business." No body is afraid of them; they demand nothing. ; -:. . Now, gentlemen of the Conven tion, there is a cause for all this, and that cause is not far to seek. Having found it, the remedy will not be hard to find also. Among many others, I should say the first reason is. that the agricultural people readi ly submit to this seconary position so universally assigned them. Of course people will dominate others so long as there is no resistance to that dom ination. Again, it is said that it is not pos sible for the farmers to do otherwise than submit, because' they are so widely scattered over so large a ter ritory that they cannot, in the nature, of things, surround themselves; by or ganization, apply prompt and con nected methods of action, aggressive and defensive, for the common j inter ests the other classes do.1 1 know that their situation renders prompt and united action difficult, but I do not believe it impossible- On the con trary, I believe it perfectly feasible to organize the agricultural interest of this vast country for its defense against the tyranny of capital in business, as well as against it in legislation. But it will undoubtedly require more labor and organizing ability than has heretofore been exerted in that direction. Let them learn from politics. ; ' , Pure democracy, which operated so happily in the small States of Greece, was found impracticable in larger areas and with greater popu latibns. Instead of submitting to its inconveniences or abandoning the principle, modern statesmanship has substituted representative democ racy, by which the most free and beneficent of all forms of government has been preserved and adapted - to any areas and any amount of popula tion, ' with all the efficiency and promptness of administration possible to the most centralized governments. Now, is not the capacity of those interested in agricultural affairs sufficient to elaborate some scheme of organization that would help that class in the great battle, and enable it to hold it own in the fiercely contested race ? Is not this of more importance in such a strug gle of business energies as this age presents, than the improvement of the mere methods of production? Is it not possible and practicable to have, all over the land, organizations based upon the civil divisions of States and counties, with. a supreme Chamber of Agriculture i centrally located, whose members, selected by the primary organizations, should watch over the interests of the whole, and. with authority to 'voice the will of all when speaking to transporta tion companies, to merchants, factors and middlemen and especially to legislators ? ' . Every interest in America comes to Washington to-influence legislai tion. except the agricultural. Why should they not be there also ? It is not a Teputable business lobbying I admit, but it is done, neverthe less, and greatly to the benefit of those who do it and to the detriment of those who do it not. The' "busi ness interests" are as regularly and continuously on hand as the reprer sentatives ' of foreign nations, and forty times more importunate. . . The farmer Lj not there never has been and is therefore presumed to be satisfied and to make, no objec tion to any proposed legislation what ever. -.'.-."'.-. .- The banks, manufacturers and transportation companies have their conferences and agree upon such de signs and tactics as every crisis in their affairs requires; even the work ingmen in" every branch of labor have protective organizations, greatly to their advantage, headed by able and zealous men, sharply on the lookout for the interests of their . class. The farmer alone is unorganized and de fenseless. He fi2hts with a club and naked breast, as onr Celtic ancestors did, against the keenest steel in the hands of men clad in mail. He sFeeps in his quiet and, lonely homestead af ter the labors of the day,' whilst others assemble, consult, contrive and plot. , . - How can he be awakened and made to hold his own in these extraordin ary times?

"Yes," she said, "onr children are married and gone, and my husband and I sit by onr winter fire much as we did before the little ones came to widen the circle. Life is something like a spiral staircase; we are all the time coming around over the spot we started from, only one degree fur ther up the stairs." ' "That is a pretty illustration," remarked her friend, musingly, gazing into the glowing coals which radiated a pleasant heat from tha many windowed stove. "Yon know .we cannot stop toiling np the hl;l, though." 1 , "Surely we cannot, and for myself I dont find fault with that necessity provided the advance , in life is not attended with calamity or suffering. for I have had my share of that. Not long since my health entirely broke down. my health entirely broke down, ait system was full of malaria. My digestion became thorough ly disordered and mv nerves were in a wretched, state. I was languid, ate little and that without enjoying it, and had so strength or ambition to perform even my light household duties. - Medi cal treatment failed to reach the seat of the trou ble. The disease whioh seemed to be weakness of all the vital organs progressed until I had se veral attacks which my physicians pronounced to be acute congestion of the stomach. The last of these was a desperate struggle and I was giv en up to die. As the crisis had partially passed, my husband heard of the merits or PAR KER'S TONIC as an invigorant in just such cases as mine. I took it and felt its good effects at once. It appeared to pervade my body, as though the blessing of new life had come to me. Taking no' other medicine I continued to improve and am now in better health than I have been for along time."
