Craig hns boen ome ployed in only two instances as an nttornoy of the Chlcago, Burlington & Quincy Railrond. Theo writer dosires us to publish tho statomont asan net of justico to Mr. Craig, We cando better justico to Mr. Craig without doing vio- lonco to tho truth. Reforring to somo late vol~ umes of Illinois Roports, we find Mr. Craig re- corded as attornoy for the O., B. & Q. R. RR. in tho following-named cases ; €, B, &£Q. R R, Co; Tho Preawiont, kc.,} 841, 107, of Knox Callege, 0, B & QR R e, 52111, 200, Dunn, G, B.& QR R Vo, 63101, 439, Duun, Horo aro threo cases in the Suprome Court,| slone, As much of the litigation of railronds takes placo in tho inforior courts, and as Mr. Craig ia not one of the heavy-weights at the Bar ‘who are constantly having cases in the Supreme Court, the presumption ia that moat of his prac- tico a8 o railrond attorney has been in the lower courts, and that the number of his cases ns such attorney has considerably exceeded those above noted. Thoe fact that Mr. Craig is, or has boon, » railrond attornoy, doos mot disqualify him from serving as Judgoe of tho Bupromeo Court, but it does disquslifty Mim from running as tho anti-railroad candidate, for inthe latter character hoisa fraud. Dut if he iu not tho antl-railroad candidate, then certainly sowebody fs cheated. Tho peopls of Minnesots are not to know, by publie exposition’ of the facts, iow tholt State Treasury has been run these many years, for the porsonal aggrandizement of a ring of party- menagors,—how pine lands, and lumber-mills, and dry-goods, and newspapor stock, and bank- ing onterprises, and politica as a trade, and all sorts of things, have boen floatod in privata bends upon tho money of the people. They Inow that at ono time moro_than $500,000, the product of their taxation, was thus in private use, unsooured snd without intorest; thatan actual defloit of moro than $200,000 was carried over trom State Tronsurer Munch to Stato Treasurer Soegor (Munch's father-indaw), and that, when exposure could no longer bo delayed, the powor of the State sdministration and the influences of party-leadors was combined upon ono desperato purposo to defoaf’ tho ends of justico *for the sako of the parly.” Thus, when tho oxposure camo, tho Logislaturo attomptod to smothor it; whon this would not bo ondured, and tho Benato was ordered to try tho wholo case, Boogor resignod ; and when tho Sonate mot, Moy 20, and had passed through s woll-arranged systom of sub- torfuges and techuicalitios, and was apparantly about to enter upon & gonuine invaeatigation, Soegor pleaded guilty, and the imponch- mont s rosulted only in .his expulsion from office. So tho names of the pmity managers aud newspaper propriotors and office- holders who had the mopey nre not disclosed. Thero is an election, this year, of Governor, 8tato Treasurer, and Logislature, in aud for Minnesota, without reference to auy other Siato in the Union ; and in tho rosult of that election will bo seon whether tho people of Minnesota aro blinded to homo intorests by the hus-and-cry of a national party organization, THE FARMERS' MOVEMENT - AND THE OLD * PARTIES, . Tho 8tato of Illinois .hua to elect next month somo twonty-cight Judges in s many districts for the Circuit Courts of the Stute. In two of tho grand divisions of theBtata thiove aré'Judgoes of tho Supremo Conrt' to bo electod. In soveral counticy there are County Judges to bo olected 1o fill vaeancios. Tho eutive Cireult Banch is to bo refilied by olection. A partisan Legislature Inbored for montbs to avrange these eircuits, in ardar to sacuro {ho greatest possiblo numbor of Judgos of tho truo political faith, Nearly overy Judge mow on the Rouch in Illinois was golected by & nominating convention, and elected bocause of his party politics, Yok inall Tlnols thore has beon only four Ropublican coyventions hold to nominato candidates for Olrenit Judgo, aud ouo of these, failing to ngree, adjourned without making a nomination. Thore lias not boon courage enough in tho two partios to cali & convention to nominate a Republican candidnto for Bupromo Judge in a Republican dstriet, or o Domooratic Judge in s Democratic district, i The Republican pavty in Illinola haa practically Inid down its organfzation; it has abandoned thet watehful eave it oneo exerclued over the ‘Boneh, and hns left tho gatos wide opou for Dew- acraty, Independents, Copporhendy, Liberals, Grangors, and all other dlscontentod clussos, to elocs tho thirty-odd Judgos on tho firat Monday of Juno. ‘When a party dare not nominato oan- didatos for ofilee, and permits the olaction to go by dofault, tho fact ia n.confession of prostration and wenknoss, smounting to abdication, Tt may bo said that tho farmers of the Btate havo taken into thelr hands the nomination and eloction of judicial ofiicors, and that the Republican | Not ouly the prospority of farmers, but party dooa not feol diaposed togot Into s conflict with tho Grangos, in which confliet it would cor- tainly como out socond best. Dut if thatisan answor, how will it bo noxt fall, whon county ofiicors aro to bo olocted ? 1w it Hkely that ono viotory of tho Granges will appeaso thelr appe- tites? Haviug clocted o Judge thls eummer, will thoy not want a County Troagurer noxt fall, and o Congrossman noxt yoar? The party that rojeots Olvil-Borvico Roform becauso that might causo & Domoorat to bo appointed ovor a less compotent Nopublioan, dare not; it sooms, nom- inate ovon o Counly Judgo tosottloup the ostatos of doad mon in a State whoro it Iatoly ‘had 60,000 majority. The farmors' movement hns paralyzed tho Ropublicon party in Hitnols, and the paralysls promigos to ondure for soma timo, Tho move- mont i only In its Infoncy. Iia intorforonce in tho oloction of Judges is uot by any moans thorough. In many countles, tho organization is incomplete, and It was no part of tho pro- gramme t tho firat instanco to intorfore with tho courts, TFarmors’ nominations of candidates for Judgoes arobut an incident; tho organization hins furthor and more destinative work boforo 1t Iu Novembor next, thora is to b olected in evory county in thisStato s corpsof county ofiicers, including Troasurors, County Olorks, Burveyors, otc,, which have heretofore boon ro- gorded as the oxclusiva spolls of party managors. The farmors’ organizatious will probably nomi- nato thoir own mon, and clect them to nll those placos, oxcopt in tho larger citioa. A yoar lator, iu 1874, they will have their organization so complate in overy townshlp that they will take the olaction of the 26 Stato Sonators and tho 158 Toprosontativos in tho Logislature inte thoir owntonds, Wodo not eny that this is nlio- gothor dosirable, but wo look upon it as highly probable. Thoy will nleo tako into thoir own hands tho clection of mombors of Congress, and will seloct mon not bocauso of thelr advoency of tho Fiftenth Amendmont, not of thelr loyalty during the War, but beeauso of thoir supposed | fidelity to farmors' intoroats. In the moantime, what will bocome of the Re- publican and Domocratic partica? In the judg- mont of evory truo friend of roform, theso par- ties havo outlived their usefulness, Both aro corrupt, The Ropublican party is the more cor- rupt of the two, by resson of its largor opportu- nities, If the Domocratic party liad equal op- portunities, it would probably bo more corrupt than the Republican, bocause its rank and filo, in the Northorn Atates at lonst, possoss less intelli« genco. Both havo ronched a state whoro thoy ought to bo ovorthrown and pulvorized. If tho farmers’ movement shall give them tho coup de grace, whethor intentionally or othorwise, it will Love taken tho first stop to & wider and moro wholesomo reform than its firojoctors intonded. AGRICULTURE TH]_EI B]}[Am OF OUR INDUS- ‘Wiiy does tho prosperity of manufactures do- poud upon the growth aud prospority of agri- oulturo ? Noarly avery intolligont person concedes the fact ; not every ono comproliouds tlo causo or tho oxtont of that depoudonce. Froct mills, securo matorials and hands, tnrn out products however abundant, maintain them at artificial prices howover high, and thero yot Tomains ono absolutely essontial condition of wucoose—adoquato cousumption of products, ‘Tha largo production yiclds only largo loes if, for want of adequato coisumption, too much of the product remains on Land and unconsumed, For this ronson, many establishmonts havo failed, and many are failing, under the opera- tlon of tho prosont protective tariff, Honco, tho firat and surest tost of the progross of manu- factures in any branch is, not the increase of production, but the incrase in consumption of its productu. Tho hands employod in manufactures, and thoso depondent on thow, can consumg but o small part of thoir products, nor, it all* porsona engaged in trade and transportation and in per- #onal or professional services, have wo yot a body of consumorsat all adequate to tho sup- port of manufacturing. Tho {mmoneo body of persons who depond upen agricultura for & liv- Ing must in this country consume more than half of tho products of manufacturos, if they are consumed ot all. In 1860, only 61,000 workers produced all the woolen goods con- sumed by 81,000,000 of poople, oxcopt tho quantity ‘imported, thon about one-fourth of tho wholo, so that ‘80,000 workers wonld have supplied moro woolon goods than the wholo nation consumad. Only 127,000 workers sup- plied moro than five-sixths of the cotton goods thon consumed in tho country; and 198,000 workors aupplied nine-tenths of tho iron and its products consumed. 8o of othor manufac- tures; if wo aro shut out from foreign markets for our products, the number of porsons who ean profitably bo employed in any branch of manufactures is limitod by the sbility of persons not employed fn manufacturcs to consume its products, and must, in any caso, bo a very small part of the whole population, Now, of porsons not omployed in manufac- tures, far more than one-half are dependent upon agriculture for subalstonce, In 1860, thoso dircelly angagod in agrioulturs woro moro than ono-half of the wholo num- ber of porsous cmployed, but of the persous not #o engaged & very con- sidorablo proportion wore fomsles who had not fanilies deponding upon thom, 8o that tho proportion of familics or porsons dependent upon agriculture was much more than ona-half, According to the consus of 1870, out ot 10,600, 635 malea ongaged in gainful occupations, 6,626,503, or 62 per cont, wore engagod in agri- culture, and of tho romainder about 100,000 wora domostie servauts, so that much moro than Lalf of the familics and juhobitants of the entira country aro now, and wero in 1860, dopondent upon agriculturoe for subsistonce. In proportion to the prospority of that industry must be their abllity to consumo tho' products of manu. facturos. Whon orops fall, when prices fall o that crops yiold no falr return for labor, tho vast body of porsons depondent upon thig groat Industry must perforoo rostriot thelr purchages ; thoy make tho old clothos wear yat.a litlo longer, tho old shoes are more patioutly patehed, the desmired repalts and im- provements and purchueos of Implomonts and wmachinery aro doforrod as far as possibla, As thoy consume 8o largo a proportion of all goods and waree manufactured, a vory moderate de- orengo in their consumption mukes nll the dif- forenca botween largo profit and large losy tojm- portsnt branchos of manufacture, Any contin. uod doprassion of the fatming intorost is s suro to be followed by tho olosing of factorles, the abandonmont of mills, sud the dischargo of Iaborors, a8 tho uprooting of the plant Is to be followed by tho witherlng of its follago and fruit, thoir conetant inoresss in number, 18 nocessary to tho growth of manutacturos, whon a syatom of protoction, with ita artificial prices, drivea our goods from forolgn markots, Tho number of porsons profitably supported by intormodiate omploymonts—Iin trado and transporiation, por- aonnl and profossionnl morvicos—oan only in- orense nn tho incronso of producers snd con- sumora affords demand for their sorvices in tho intorchange of produsts, or ad population in- croason, If the growth of agriculturo Ia rotard- od, thon tho inoronso in tho pumbor of cons sumorn of manufactured goods must bo rotarded moro than one-hal? ns much, and, whon manu. facturos incronno at tho snmo hime moro rapidly than population, a gonoral prostration, In conso~ quonco ot tho fallure to consume tho greatly~ multipliod products, must quickly result, Within tho last decado, there Las boon an in- oreaso of 84 por cont In tho gold veluo of tho products of manufacturo. Tho inorosso of oxports of manufacturcd products lins boon but sovon millions—less than ono-two-hundrodth part of tho product, and only 14 por cont of such oxports in 1800, 8o that Iarger proportion of auch products bas been thrown upon our own markets for consumption, But tho entire in- oroaso in tho valte of forming products has boen prastically nothing ; ovon it Wo cstimate it ot tho samo ratio as favms hove incrended in vafuo, 16 would bo but ninety milifons, with which to pay for the farmers’ sharo of flvo hun- dred and ffty-clght millions—tho incrense in gold valuo of mauufectured products. If the farmors, and those dopondent on fhom, con- sume only ono-balf tho product—and they consume moro—thoro Is an incrossa of 279,000,000 in the manufactured goods “which tho farmer must comsumo, if ‘monufactues are to find as rondy s markot ng they did in 1870, and yot the farmor hae not more than $90,000,000, the incronso in valuo of his own products, with which to pay. Evidently, tho farmer must cither run into debt, or & ruinous proportion of manufactured goods must romain unsold. Both ovonts are now occurring, Mills aro olosing ; the tarmors rra gotting into dobt, Forced to consumo more than ho can pay for, tho farmer still cannot consuma as much ns his sharo of the goods our maunfacturors produce, Dissster t6 both can bo avertod only by such a chango of polioy a8 shall securo rapid progress and fair roturn to that industry which ia the basis of all our labor and trade, It is strango that thosa who invest their monoy inmanufacturos, and those whose wages dopond upon tho growth and succoss of manufactures; 50 ofton fall torenlizo that the first nocossity for thom is to securo prospority to tho farmor, oud consoquent incroase jn the consumption of manufactured products. It should bo their first quostion, when any monuuro apparontly for their bonofit is proposed, '* Will this toud to embnr- a8 farmers, to lessen their profits, to delor peo- o from that employment, and thus to diminish tho numbor end ability of thoso upon whom weo +must depend for tho consumption of more than hnlf of our products?" Self-interest is often ahortsighted. But nover is its blindnoss more painfully manifest than whon workmen and em- ployers in manufacturing establisbments do- mand, in tho hepo that it may beneflt them, o form of tuxation which plunders and oppresses overy farmor. ——e .
