I . .i it:i' !rv n . - -.-lit,. w. lutvruependent peoplo like ours, to mould such a social fabrio aa ours, and build up such inconipara tie freo institutions us we have. Agri culture, however, is the foundation of oil these. It is tho nolid foundation of them all, we may say. In times of depression tho world can eonily get on with half tho things usually consumed, which aro produced by manufactur ers, miners, and others, 1r.it not on Jjlf rations of gIJS 5HXj 0f ciolhC3 tinier Lfinl fimo Joiulltious will go as far as two and three ued in prosjierous times. Doctor' und law yers iuoomeH fall off oue-Lulf iu times of depression, nnd tho mcrohanti in all branches nullor in very largo num bers. It is painfully interobtin;,' to study tho statistics of failure during tho past two year, lousiness men of every class have gono to tho wall in very lare numbers, including bankers and merchants and manufacturers. In cident to this have occurred tho suf fering of millions who havo depended upon their daily wage in factory and mcrcantilo pursuits. Tho furmer has come in for his share of tho hardships Incident to poor markets aud low prices. But his bank tho soil of his farm has yielded him food, of which hundreds of thousands of others havo been deprived unless helped to it by others, for their daily wage failed them. Tho farm may partly suspend payment in ashort orop.or in low pricos of horses, sheep, wool, and cattle. But it is only a part suspension. The prime article of food is always produced, although proilts fall off. With other classes even food fails, beeauso there is a complete suspension of business and wages, and nothiug to buy with. With the farm there is never nttor failure of crops, us there is utter failuro of all resourcos aud wages of other classes. Thcro is always either a fair wheat or fruit or other kind of crop, or fair conditions and prices for cither horses, or cattlo, or hogs, or sheep, or wool, or poultry. The eggs of tho farmer aro not all iu one basket, as with tho merchant or tho worker. When business reverses come, n9 in the panio of tho past two years, every phase of resource goes ti pieces iu business and labor pursuits. And so the stat isticsshow thousands of failures in bVisinosa to very few in farm circles. In tho past two years this failuro aud hurdship have driven thousands, with rapidly vanishing resources, to tho i'ursutts of furmiug.
