THE ADVERTISER
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2V1871.
Xever Sn.lsfletl.
rlace was riding along,
A cayly dressed wife by his side :
In satin and lace sh looked like a queen,
And he like a king iirhls pride.
A wood-sawyer stood on the street as ho
paused;
Iho carriage and couple he eyed,
And said, as he worked on a log,
"I wish I was rich and could ride."
The man in the carriage remarked to his wife,
"One thing 1 would do if 1 could:
rdgivoallmy wealth for the strength, and
the health.
Of the man who Is sawing the wood."
A pretty young maid with a bundle of work,
whn fnn ns tlin momlnc was fair.
"Went tripping along with a smile of delight. J
While humming u iove-oreaiiiiug air.
She looked in the carriage tuo lady she saw.
Arrayed In apparel so fine:
Andsaid in whisper, "I wish In my heart
Those satins and laces were mine."
Tho lady looked out on the maid with her
work.
So fair in her calico dress,
And said, "I'd relinquish position and
wealth,
Her beauty and youth to possess."
Tims It Is In this world. Whatever our lot.
Our mind and our time we employ
In longing and sighing for what we havenot,
Ungrateful for what we enjoy.

Capt.lt. P. Shear delivered the following
address before tho adjourned meeting of tho
Farmers Institute, last week. Ed.
"When negro slavery was abolished
wo all felt that ours was really the
laud of the free. But in many re
spects a worse condition of slavery
exists to-day. It is worse, because a
much larger number of people, aroen
Blaved. Worse, because the slave of
the present day has many masters.
"Worse, because tho masters are be
coming more numerous, pow.erful,
avericious and exacting in the tasks'
to be performed. And worse, because
the slave bears his chains more meek
ly from day to day, and shows less
disposition Xo throw them off and as
sert his rights. Common and skilled
laborers, farmers and mechanics are
the slaves who now suffer. Our mas
ters are tho middle men orenerallv
who stand between the producer and
consumer. As farmers and mechan
ics, have we not willingly permitted
the chains to be forged, with which
wo are now bound ? Aud does not
the leading cause of our wrongs lie at
our own doors? Our fathers were
farmers, and they employed 2d or 3d
rate teachers fortheirchfldren. When
the weather was favorable for work
in the fields, they counted the time of
their sons lost, if spent in the school
room. They argued that a thorough,
liberal education was unnecessary ex
cept for boys who intended to become
teachers, statesmen, business or pro
fessional men. Verv many of us have
studied only a few of the text books
which are used in our common schools
and none of those taught in high
schools or academies. We have la
bored faithfully with our hands but
not with our heads. When the truth
is told, we are unable to play the dif
ferent parts of the great gakues of the
world. And too many of us are reck
lessly permitting our children to grow
up as ignorant as their parents. Our
best educated men live in the towrns
and cities. They appreciate the va'
ue of a good education, and having
but little work for their boys to do,
they compel them to attend school
regularly where only first class teach
ers are employed. The difference be
tween the education and general
training of town or city and country
boys, cause the one to look upon the
other as inferior to him in mental
culture, in manners, in clothes hi
fact beneath him in every respect.
Having been brought up in idleness,
the city youth has learned to look up
on labor with contempt. And he re
solves' that his polished brains and
fine manners shall procure for him a
comfortable living or a fortune, at the
expense oi tne producer. Hedeterir..
ines that he will be a dry goods mer
chant as he can buy all the goods
which .lie wjll vwaut by furnishing
good references. A per-cent will -be
added to the price of thegoods on ac
count of the credit. The rent of' the
buildings which he will occupy, will

He must buy costly furniture and the
richest and most expensive clothes for
himseir and Tamiiy. Uutho will, sen
to tho farmer and mechanic "at prices
which will make these items allighK
nncl onnhle him in a short'timei'to rer
tire from business. The wholesale
merchant, the grocer, the clothier,
the shoe, dealer,, the butcher, and in
fact all classes jrfrbusfnesi men follow,
in the footsteps of the retail dry goods
merchant. They all mark their
wares to the farmer and, mechanic -sq
as to cover cost, all incidental expen
ses, losses and profit. Another city
3'outh may prefer to deal in grain and
other farm products. Ho enters the
market with twenty others, and they
buv two thousand bushels of wheal
per day. Each buyer must have a
share of the wheat, . although
one man could have handled alkof it.
The result is that the farmers are
obliged to take a less price for their
wheat than its worth, 'that these
twenty unnecessary non-prod.ucers
aud their families may life in Idle
ness. But the villainy does' not stop
here. Twenty other unnecessary
non-prodcers must be supported ot the
expense of the farmers, atother,poInts
on the road'ojvpr which tlieir wheat
is carried to the consumer. The man
ufacturer makes a reaper that ho could
sell at $75, or a sewing machine that
he could sell for thirty dollars, and
have a fair profit; but when he figures
up his commissions to general agents,
to local agents, and his probable loss
es on account of dishonest agents and
customers who may prove unable to
pay, the price of each machine is
doubled. Again, it is wonderful how
much money Is being paid annually
by farmers and mechanics for pictures
of "Death on the pale horBe," or in
cendiaries lurking in the fence corn
er, which have been painted by non
producers in tho insurance business.
Where therein but little or no risk
they paint death, fire, thunder and
liglitnihg.ln glowing colors ,r but they
lose all thefr-artlstickill when a case
is presented to them where the risk is
great. But it, is useless to, attempt' a
description of the hundreds of other
classes of non-producers., who-prey
upon the earnings of tho farmers and
mechanics. Honest middio men are
necessary aud we could not prosper
without them. fBut it -Is' not right
that half of the peoplo of anState or
country should economise and toil
from day to day ; to feed, clothe and
support the other half in comparative
idleness. And indeed it requires
much meekness to bear with men or
womeu whose nostrils are so easily
offended at the smell of labor, or di
vide our earnings with those who
look upon us.w.ith,.contempt..and are
in tho habit of. remarking, "Oh! he
is only a farmer' or "He is nothing
but a mechanic." We can see hone
for the laborintr classes in but two di-i
rections. In the first place non-producers
have tho advantage of us in
education. They have also tho ad
vantage in possessing more general
information on questions which effect
indirectly us producers. We must
endeavor to beeomo wiser ourselves.
We must employ better tfeachprg, in
our country schools andl-'give 'onr
children a good thorough education.
We must not permit our sons to be
lauched at or cheated on account of
their ignorance by small city boys.
"Producers have also strong reasons to
-hope for relief from My "Patrons of
Husbandry:" Trie 'order is yet in its
Infancy. But its rapid growth is un

The same journal, in printing Mr.
Greeley's remarks on taking the chair
oi tne liepuuncan uenerai uonunitr

of Geti, Grant. It-was- wrong then,
and is wrong now. Mr. Greeley

can judge, the Republicans are gene
rally satisfied with Gen. Grant'.s Ad
ministration and are inclined to re
new his lease of power. If there is
not much enthusiasm in his behalf,
there is a general conviction that he
is a sale and prudent Executive. Not
hearing of any formidable or serious
effort te prevent his renomination, it
seems to us unwise in those who favor
it to agitate the matter. The meeting
of CongresB next December is quite
soon enough for that.
Gen. Grant has been not quite two
veare in power. Dunne those two
years, many war-clowds have loomed
on the horizon, yet peace with for-
I eiffn nations and with Indian tribes

Hundred and 'i;wonty Millions per

and orphans of our great struggle.
We dqiibt whether any Government
ever before devoted so' large a.propbr
tiorj of its. annual income to th'e:pay
Tncufc of debt. He misqnderstands
liuman nature who fancies that these
Lfacts will, not tell in a. Presidential
contest. " . r . T , r v
"In a single, respect, the hopes of-the
American;peop'le,Iiaye not yet been
realized? Thatrbspectis tlib funding
of the bulk of the National Debt at a
lowor rate of interest. Doubtless, the
greatEuropean War, with the clouds
on tie.Eastern horizon, have impeded
this much-desired consumaiion. Still,
a government that is not borrowing,
but regularly and vigorously paying,
and which borrows only to pay out
standing liabilities, ought not to be
paying six per cent, on loans, that it
has a right forthwith . to redeem. If
our Five-Twenties 'could be funded
at an average of 4 per cent., thcav-'
ing would be hardly less than Twen
ty Millions per annum. Even at Iivq
per cent., the saving must be nearly
Fifteen Millions. We ought surely
to be able to borrow at 4 to 5 per cent,
the money wherewith to cancel the
FiveTwenties, in view of the week
ly reduction of the volume of our en
tire Debt, and we trust' tjiis y(e,ar will
see the task accomplished. That
achievement would powerfully con
duce to the renomination o Gen.
Grant.
"We state the case as we understand
it, and with rigid impartiality. We
like- Gen. Grant'; but we care far
more for Republican ascendency than
for any man's personal fortunes. It
is in our view of great importance
that the opposition shall be kept out
of power, while it is of comparatively
small moment that A or B should
tenant tho White House. For a Dem
ocratic National triumph means a;
restoration to power of those who de
serted their seats in Congress and
their places under tne last Democratic
President' to plunge the country into
the Red Sea of Secession and Rebel
lion. Though you paint an inch
.thick, to this .complexion you must
crime at last.. The brain,- the" heart,
the soul,, of the present Democratic
party is the Rebel element at the
South, with its Northern allies and
sympathizers. It is Rebel at the core
to-day, hardly able to reconcile the
defeats of Lee, Johnston, Bragg,
Hood and Price, and the consequent
downfall of its beloved Confederacy,
with its traditional faith in Divine
Providence.. It would hail the elec
tion, of a Democratic President in 1872
as a virtual reversal of the Appomat
tox surrender. It would come into
power with the hate, the chagrin, the
wrath, the mortification, of ten bft-
ter years, to impel and cuide itsstens.
It would devote itself to taking off or.
reducing ta'x after tax until the Treas
ury was deprived of the means of-
paymg interest on the National Debt,
and vould halrthe'iidiricsf of Nation
al bankruptcy with unalloyed glad
ness and unconcealed exultation.
Whatever chastisement may be de
served by our National sins, we must
hope that this disgrace and humilia
tion will be spared us. N. Y. Tri
