In a recen; i;ne of the New York Evening Post 6ome otiicia etatietica were brought forward to 6how the 6hnnkace that occurred in the valne of a million aerea o Ohio land that changed hand l&st year. The shrinkage wae $3mmj. CHX. wlnle the mortaije indebted nese incurred during the year waa 00 pi.-r cent, greater than be mort gHge debt canceled. The phenom enon was a striking one, but not new, nor local, as land value in nearly all parta of the 'United States and Europe have been un dergoing for years a similar do crease of value. Nearly every where the agricultural interest has been losing its pre-eminence The cheap grain of our virgin soil has ruined the farmers and landowners of Europe, whose dec i eased wealth and ioflnence have been followed by political changes trreatly to their aisaavantage. iur nave our own farmeia profited permanently by their ' victory over their competi tors in the Uld World. Unenlightened 6elfir.hne&s, it is argued, is the cause of this ruin of tho best element of the population of every country. Ihe policies and laws ot to day are dictated, it is said, to an increasing extent, by the manufacturing centres, and in those centres by persons ignorant of matters outside their 6)ecial oc cupations. legislative favors have created a class of rulers who a'e incompetent. Snarp enough in a short-sighted way to secure their own profits, they have no Uee lor the general masses of the people except to fleece thern. tor thirty years the Jaws of the United States have promoted the growth of mo nopolies, so that it is now most difficult to get rid of them. 1 et a change is iieeded- a change that will give the farmer, the laborer and all other classes of people an equal chance. Evidently the present adjurtment of burdens and benefits is inequitable. The steady fall in the value of land is a great fact. Over against it is the vastly increased number and wealth of the non-ajrricultural classes. In Europe the contrast is more mark ed, perhaps, than here, and legisla tors are there already groping their way toward a remedy. What is it to be nobody et is to kr.ow. In b ranee and Germany the tarmerB seek to borrow the wetpon ot "pro tection from the manufactureis and turn it upon them. Agrarian interests have demanded and ob tained high duties on foreign grain and restrictive "sanitary" regula tions hostile to the importation of foreign meats. In England similar v:ews begin to prevail among land holders and farmers, but their po- itical influence is considerable, and the masses accept dependence upon oreign countries ior food as in evitable. It is seen clearly that the only effect of a tariff on food would be to increase the difficulties f life for a great majority of the eople. Still traces of a protec tionist movement are seen in the readiness with which imporUd meat is found by sanitary iuspec- ors to be diseased. Uut however valuable protection of farm products may be to agri- ulturit-ts in countries which im port such prod acts, it is no solu tion of the difficulty in the United States. We do not import farm mducts to any considerable extent. I'he most we can ao, it seems, i9 to cultivate economy and readjust our stems of taxation eo as to adapt hem to the altered psition of the iirricultural classes. The latter, eng no longer able to protect the Manufacturer, will continue with justice in spue ot seeming pro tectionista victory ot lo'Ji to ae- nand the aooiition or protective duties. In 1890 they were consent to ask lower duM'e-; they now de mand free trade. So far as the fanner is concerned, the time has com now lor every tub to stand on its own bottom. s The 1'roDer Time i When the nioet beuefit is to he ilerirM inn a good medicine, is an in me yar. eakcnel oreans auJ nervous jsieiii yeani iparill.

When' I am home about two thirds of my time is taken up by people who come in to ask lor offices. I have had candidates for foreign missions, consulates, de partment bureaus, United 'States marehalships, United States attor neys, pension agents, about forty post offices and no end ot Indian agents and lani officer?, and all I've succeeded in getting since Cleveland was inaugurated is one assistant keeper of a lighthouse, a place for which there was no candidate, and they asked m to hunt np a man. I scarcely dare go home. I am being cursed all over my district by people who think I'm indifferent to their interests and ungraceful to my friends. It will take six weeks' steady talking to explain why I haven't been able to get all the re publican office holders in the dis trict turned oat and democrats put in, and not halt the pe pie who hear the explanation will believe me.

If it be true that Europe no long er sends us large quantities of se curities, and since the merchandise balance is very considerable in our favo-, whence then comes this un settled debt which keeps clamoring tor payment in gold, and which it seems we cau liquidate with noth ing eisef I to explanation u simple enough. The Uuited States owe to Europe (apart from tho ordinary merchan dise balances as evidenced oy the custom returns) annually: L. For mont aoent by Amertcaa trar- elers abroad, about ...$100,000,000 l.

In order to pay this vast annual indebtedness to Europe the balance of trade in merchandise would have to reach at least tin sum, but it has never done so. TLe merchandise balance (including ex ports of silver) in our favor in 1SU4 was $264,000,000, and large as this was, it still left a very large amount to be paid for. This balance could be paid only in securities or in gold. So lnng as European credi tors weie willing to take our securi ties or re-invest their balances in American enterprises, there was no inordinate call for gold, but as they no longer seem to wish to take our securities' to any extent nor to make permanent investments here, there is nothing left but to ask for and insist upon payment in goM. lhis leads up to the question: Why do tney not wish to take our sccant'ea or make investments in our enterprises!. Simply because tho developments in our railroad management have tilled would-be investors with disgust and anger, and above all because they are dis mayed at the condition of our Treasury and our currency, an.d fear that if they leave or invest money here, they may not bo able to get back aa good money as they gave. They have no doubt of tht good intentions of the government to uphold the paiiiy of gold, 6ilver and paper, but they cannot heip doubting its ability, under the pres ent conditions, so to do. Thus, fear is one of the main cause?, and this fear will not be dissiated until are are on a sound basi. and no lasis is sound that does not provide for a redemption of all currency in the money of the world gold. fflr.
