To Ik- held in Philadelphia on tilt' lT.tli
id' this month, h:is foremost in its object $
the protection, preservation ;md resto
ration of ii forest of the Tin
ted States. Nothing so emphasizes
the wasteful, destructive habits ol
the American ja'ople as the neees
sit v of such measures as will be discussed
in the Forestry convention. Less than hah
a century ao, bv far the larger portion
of the territory of the Tailed States wa
in forest, much of the newly ac
quired portion of it an unbroken forest
wilderness, much of the older territory
untouched virgin woods, a store housi
from which miht be drawn with pru
dent care and use the supplies of enern
lions to come. These supplies are al
ready so neatly exhausted by theca re less
ness and greediness of man, and the de
struction has been si aided bv widespread
devastating tires, that the gravest solic
itude has been aroused to husband what
is left, anil to restore what is lost; and
the dangers of sudden Hood and alternate
drought, conditions inseparable from a
t I'eeless ex pa use.
The example and t he plan- nt I tuopt
inav be suycsled for adoption. Bui
monarchical and despotic IvurojK.' may
coinmatul and enforce what may Ik
found impossible in free kepublicau Amer
ica. Interference in private rights, cur
tailment of tec-simple authorityinowner
ship, restraint npiin the riht and power
id every man to do what he will
with his own, put check to en
trained hereditary habits are I lit
problems with which any prop
ositions for forestry reform will have to
ileal. It is a very yrave and important
problem, and it mihl le lit i km I that tin
whole continent will be aroused to its
gravity.
The remorseless use and waste of the
forests is characteristic of this genera
tion; not alone with the forests, but
with everything desirable to man on
land or in the water. This generation
lives as if it were to Ik? the last on earth,
and makes haste to consume or destroy
everything attainable without thought, j

stood thick and stately. Wherever they
survive, the armies of axemen are mar
shalled, steam saw mills of phenomenal
capacity erected, railroads built deep in
the wilderness, and then in time that
new acquisition is laid bare and desolate,
and in the end nothing is left or spared
that can be reached. And as with the
f irests so with animal life. The butValo,
within present memory so abundant as
to be killed merely tor their tongues,
humps and hides, are practically extinct.
The deer, once boundfnjL; over every hilt
and plain, are now so tew that the kill
injj of one is an achievement to be
recorded alongside of killing of Indian or
of panther. The innumerable tliyhts ot
wild piyeons no longer darken the air in
break down the titnlcr. The ivory billed ;
woodiK-cker and the paroquet, once noted j
in our ornithology, no longer have exist
ciice. I n the water, the whale has In
come so scarce as almost to have brought
the once famous whale fishery to an end.
The mackerel, once so abundant as to lie
used as the cheap food for the West In
dia negroes, is now so scarce as to be the
costly luxury of the rtch. Across the wa
ters, the elephant, pursued for ivory or
tor sport, is threatened with extinction
within the next ten years. The leauttful
quagga, once so numeious in Southern
Africa, is extirpated entirely, a sacrifice
to foppish luxury. The kangaroo is rap
idly disappearing under the demand for a
social kind of leather, and, in a tew
years, will he among tne things tnat
were. And all this, and very much more
of the same kind, within the present gen
eration. The next will have to make out
some of the leading questions in issue 1e
tweett the two great existing parties.
The question of monopolies, of trusts, of
protection, involve those subjects upon
which the Alliance has engaged for the
protection of the agricultural interests,
among which are the reduction of the
cost of living by the reduction in the
prices of those necessaries the farmer
must purchase; and the procurement ol
better and juster prices tor what he sells,
made possible by taking the control ot
the markets from sieeutntors, monopo
lists'middle, men, and effacing ifpractiea
ble the business id a class "who toil not
neither do they spin" but contrive to live
splendidly out of the profits de verted into
their own pockets out of those of the
plundered, wronged ami wickedly impos
ed upon producers.
So far as we can see, the Alliance is
non-partisnn. It goes out on its errand
with its ranks open to all farmers of all
parties. And it gives promise of march
ing steadily to its work tinder its own
hanners and unlisting under them none
of those men who make politics a busi
ness, or who might make the Alliance ;
tool fur their own ambition.
Tndersueh aspectsas we can now view
it, we see nothing but good in what has
roused the farmer from his apathy, madt
him conscious of theimposition practised
upon, stimulated him to assert himself a;
the foremost figure on the great stage ot
industrial life. How indifferent has the ,
farmer seemed to be in the great scenes'
of business lite. The giant Atlaft upon I

With quick vior, the association of the
farmers for mutual protection, advance

ment of their information has ris
en into something stiiienlous. Its
dimensions cannot lie concealed be
cause it takes ill nearly the whole
mighty army of the farmers of the
country ; its powers cannot lie despised,
liecnuse it is the consolidation in organ
ized force of nil the great foundation

V solicitude because its ends

wise in this, because our visitors will,
learn how solid, splendid and universally

most torcilily impress them are the facili-'

the experience thev gain of the vast ex-i
