Smith, tho Sceretary of tho State Furmors' Ansociation, used some very plain lan- gunge in his nddrosa to tho farmers of Scott County who assembled with thelr wives and dnughtors at Winchostor yostorday to the num- her of 2,000. IIo drow a contrast betweon the atrugglivg and straitoned farmors, whose land swas mortgaged to tho last cont, and mnny of whom lived in houses littlo bettor than hovols, and therich, overfed monopoliaés and middlomen who dwelt in palaces. o predicted that thoro would como a dagwhen, it other remodios fatlod, andtho farmers woro still hoodwinked aud swindled, ho and his boys, and thousands of other farmors and their boys, would ride soma of - these vil- Ining out of the State Capitals, and whon many o trao would bear human fruit, Mo thought another romedy might be found, but if not, bioodshed and anarehy were tho alternative.

The swindle was cons coived in 1868, under Floyd, thon Bocrotary ot War. The actln tshon by Congrews with roforonco to it proved that tho sale was fraudutont, No title was conveyed to Steelo, and lo had not paid the monoy which he agrood to poy.

In other words, tho prosont Administra- tion, cithor blindly or corraptly, consummated & swindle by which tho Govornment was do- fraudod out of §500,000 worth of proporty in brond doylight. And the 8t Panl Pioncer (Democratio organ) vios with tho 8t Paul Press (Republican organ) in putling ou tho whito- wash, — THE OHIO BOURBONS, The straight-out Domoctats of Olio have can- summnted their traditfonal stupidity by tho nomination of & Biato ticket, which will never bo heard of again after the 14th of October noxt. Itisenfo to eny that it will bo burled out of sight by o mafority 8o largo ¢hnt tho candidatos will nover reatize they ran for nny offfccs. It {8 oqually safo to sny that mo respectablo porson will regret that fact, From the fact that tho paxty itself is doomod to cortnin dofent, but littlo interost attachos to the dotails of the Convention, Zfarthor than they crphasizeita folly. Its nom- natlous arc of no consoquence, a8 thoy are moroly pins sok up to bo bowled over, with tho cortnin knowledge that tho opemtion will prove an nuxiliary to Ropublican success. Tho platform, however, posacsses somo intercst as a mattor of ourdosity, becauso it has not an original Demo- cratic plank in its construction, It sote out fronkly with this admission : * The Domocratic party seoks to rovive no dead issnes.” As all the Domocratic issuos aro dead and perished so long ago that a resurrection of thom would entnil an ‘““anciont and fsh-liko emell ™ no ono could en- dure, we are not surprised that they decline tho disngrocable job. Having no issues of their own, {hoy have filched ono or two of tho Re- publican issucs, woveral from tho varlous rorolutions of tho Farmers' Granges, aud nearly all the issues which the party of tho pooplo mndo againat the party in power ot the rocent Columbus Convention. Leaving out tho protosts against logislation for class intoroats, discrim- inations ngaiost labor, and the squandering of public lands (which were borrowed from tho tormors’ platforms), and tho denuncistions of Oredit Mobilior swindiings, snlary-grabbings, ond other forms of publie corruption (which wero borrowod from thaLiberal party platforms, notwithstanding tho fact that the Democratic party i8 as doop in the miro na tho Ropublican), thore is nothing Joft in this patehwork pronunciamento but the singlo fact that the Domocratio party seoks to rovive no dond desue. At i the lest pitiablo offort of n disorganized mob to go into o fight aguinst o poworful and well-disciplined enemy, without leadors, without one of its old war-cries ‘which used to inspire and rally tho masses under ity etandavds. The platformiaa good ono, but itisnot o Domoeratic platform. It Qoos nob ealtup ¢ inglo isaus upon which tha party has horotofore achioved o victory. To tho remnaut of its following it will ba a8 untutelligiblo as tho jargon at tho Tower of Babel Admitting, for tho eako of argumont, that it is o Democratic platform, because it has emanated from & Dom- ocratic Qonvontion, of what useis it? What security can this moribund faction give to induco pooplo to vote for it ? The specch of Senator Thurman was a fitting closo o tho proccodings. Bays Thurman: 4 Meoasures moy dio, but principloy aro otornal. Wo may have advocated measures and thoy may have beon defonted. Wo may have opposed mensures and thoy may have been adopted. We may have beon dofeated on issues and measures, but on principlos wo have never boen defoated and novor will bo,” This fa . distinetion with- out o difforance. As long ns moagures are but tho npplicationa of priuciplos, it will bo dificult for any one but Senator Thurman to undoratand why tho priunciples are not defontod when tho weasures ure. As long as tho monsuros grow out of tho priuciples, aud are intondod to illus- trato and onforco tham, fs thoro any other Jogicnl consequonce to the dofoat of those monsures than tho fact that tho majority of tho peoplo have do- cided that theeo priveiples are ungound and un- uafe, and in dofonting the ouo have defented the ofhier also? But tho rocord of our political his~ tory oxposes thie nbsurdity of Sonator Thurman's logic moro couclusively than any argumount on more vorbal distinetions, For tho last twenty yoars, up to the year 1873, tho Domocratio party haw bad but one principlo—sympothy with slovory. From the first Anti-Nobraska agitation, in 1854, to tho closo of tho War, ovory iuo and mossure ‘of tho party grow out of that privelplo. From 1854 to 1861, it strugglod dospoiately to shield the domoatlo instittions of the Nouth, and whon the Houth arrayed itgolf in orms agownst tho Gonoral Gov- ornmont to malutain slayory, the Domocratic party placed itsolf on reoord ns in Bympathy with tho Bouth, aud gave it what aid aud comfort it safoly conld, Diring all'thoso yoars it Led vo othor prineipte. Xt fought overy battle on this lsuo, Tt waa the socret or avawoed burden of ovory pasty utternuce, Fidolity to it was mado tho ono conditfon of purty roward, Unfaithful- nows nover falled to rosult u ostracism. Slavory perishod with tho clono of the War, and with it perlshod the ono principlo which furnished tho Demooracy with its ontiro stock In frade. From thab timo to this, f¢ hws bad no principlos ab all, but geuoral oppositien fo tho party in power ; 10 lssuos to walo, And no mens- ures to edvacato, aud of course lias beon youted every time it has mado a stand, snd witbout any extraordinary eifort ‘on tho purt of the visters, From this stand-poiut, the only other utter- anco of Bonator Thurmen which Iy at wll porti- nant, ig oven moro absurd than'hla attomptod Qlyivction botwoon _principlea and moasures, Ko snyas Tho mout romackable fack now oz~ 13 CRICAGO DAILY 'TRIBUNE: PRIDAY, AUGUS'L B, 1815, hibitad is thot no paily hins ovor achloved ntic- cown for any longth of timo, nove by Mlohing Domoeratio prineiples.” It will hardly bo do- nied thot tho Tepubliean parly hes achioved #omo very nstonishing successos for movernl yenra past.

Likto tho Domooratis party, it hes had but ono distinetivo princlple, and that principle hos beon the oxact nutipodes of tho one Democratio principlo, While tho Domooracy strugglod to maintain slavory, tho Republicans struggled to dostroy it, and sucecodod, and sinco that thimo noither par- ty hog iad o principlo, When tho foundation priveiplo was knocked out from undor tho Do- moeraoy, it foll to plocos, When tho Republican porby succeedod in achloving that rovult, is ne- complished its misslon, thoro wns nothing turibor forit to do, aud {t has done nothing sinco that timo oxeopt to riot upon the spolls of which it had gained possossion, and encourngo the Domocracy to keep ita organization, so that it might nov have any offcotive oppusition to ita corrapt sohomes. ‘Tho Domoeracy have once morc gono inio tho {flold with a platform of othor people's principlos to coverup their own dofloloncios.

Rewlivs, roprosenting Grant, and Mr, TFornoy, reprosonting tho Republican party, the sabstanco of Crant's dickering was, that ho could not afford to tako the Prosidenoy; that is, ho could not afford to give up a lifo position at n good snlary for a four-yonrs' cugngoment ata small advanco. Ilis conditions wero two terms in oftice and an incronso of pay, It is to be pro- sumed that theso conditions woro agreed to, elnco Gon, Grant accopted the nomination, Grant took & mercantilo viow of tho situation from tho very first, Mo lad o ‘*cormor” on the Presidency, If the Ropublicans would not accopt Lis torms, tho Domoacrats would, Ho was at that time incumberod with no politioal principles, and could bo the eandidato of ono party a8 woll as tho other. Yo was porsusded that ho wns more noccesnry to the Ropublican party ibon tho Ropublican party was to him,—sud that wag porhaps truo. Tho situation was an excollnt one for grabs, aud thoro was nover & moro in- votorato grabber. Gon, Grant has played tho grab-game ovor sinco ho has beon in offico, Tho appointmont of bis relativos aud rolatives' part- nors hiey beon tho main foature of it.

In this view of tho caso, his poreonal reaponsibilily for tho salary-grab may bo roadily comprehonded. Tt was & cbaneo to clear 8100,000. This Intest, and apparently most ronsonnblo, history of the salary-grab is moro humiliating to our nationsl pride, if possible, than any other thut could bo offered. Dut it ig alto inatructlve, It proves that tho salary-grub was o parly measure, and that i wan copsummated undor tho whip of tho Ad- mivitrution, It must bo rauked, thon, among tha acts of tho Ropublican party nlong with Oredit Mobilior, tho Fort Bnelling swindlo, tho Iland-stoals, the Indlan frauds, and tho othor corruption which It bas fostored, 1'hie Domo- oraty wore only too glad to jolu in for a sharo of the pluuder, As to Gen, Grant bimeolt, this now vorsion ig not likely to affoot Lia roputation ong way or the other, Tho man who conld "uoq nathing bud in Crodit Mobilior, aud conll givo Jotier of rocommonda‘ion to Tom Mur- rhy, and another to o rotiring Vieo-Prosidont who hadboon drawing $1,000 overy quarter from # Governmont contractor, may cortalnly sign Dill o tako 92,000,000 sunually out of tho peo. plo's pockots In ordar that ho may himself fob 100,000 by tha oporation, without dolng tho lonat viplouce to Lis former publia roputo, f TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

In 1073, Loula Joliet, who was & man of oonsldora- blo attasinmonts, was dispatched from Montrenl to discovor tho Missiasippi River, and Jacques Marquotto, ono of the Josult missionaries, was designated to sccompany him, the conversion of the savages boing at that timo part of the object of all discoverors.

TRoduocing tho values for both poriods to a gold busls, and do- ducting $3,000,000,000 for tho slaves of 1800 not roprosontod 08 proporty in 1870 (which is nt the valuation of 8500 oach), tho valuo of proporty in thirteon Bonthorn Btates, oxcluding Delawaro, Maryland, and Misgour), was §9,993,000,029 in 1860, and In 1870 £2,702,203,420, or an motusl loss in ten yoars of 80 por cent of tho voluo of oll properly. In the three Btatos, tho - valustion for 1870 was 74 per cont groator for Dolawaro, 58 por cont groator for Maryland, and 134 por cont grenter for Missouri, than that of 1860. Counting tho gain in theso Btatos, the actual loss forall the Sonthern States dnring ton yours was 834 por cont of the entiro valuntion of 1800. Estimating tho valuo of groonbacks for 1870 at 81 conts, the depreciation of tho property in tho formor slave-holding Btatos, oxcluding tho loss of the sloves, woa 418,000,000, or about €80 in gold for every man, woman, and child, whito and black, now living in thoso Btatos. Excluding tho threo Biates which show lsrgo gains, the loss of tho other thirteen Biates in ten yonrs was $1,281,000,000 in gold, or 8100 In gold for ovory man, woman, and child. It wo ndd to ihis the estimated val- ue of tho selave property, which was tho Iargest and most profitable tho poople possesssd, tho deprociation amounts to £3,290,000,000, or $287 in gold for esch porson. Inothor words, tho value of property in tho Bouthorn Btates is not to-day more than ono- ‘alf what it was thirtoen years ago. Exomining tho propoerty in dotail has led to the samo rosult. The value of tho farms in tho Bouthorn Statos, s shown by tho consus roports, was Joss In curroncy in 1870 than it was in gold in 1800 by moro than §760,000,000. Tho loss on farm londs in thirteon of the States, on o gold boels, was §1,002,778,161, or groater than tho cntire valuo that romnine. During tho ton yoars intervoning, 2,830 miles of railrond woro copstructed at & cost of 100,000,000, which should have added proportionately to the valuo of farm-lands. But in spito of this Investmont, tho farm-lands of the Bonth aro not worth to-day oma-half of what thoy ware worth in 1860, though the building of rafironds fn the country at largo during the eamo timo hos inorossed the valuo of farms throo-fold. Tho shrinkago in tho valuo of farms por gero confinng this cstimate. In Wost Vire- ginin and Virginin it was $2.30, or 20 por cont; in Tennesseo, $4.10, or 30 per cont; in Florids, £2.25, or 40 por cont ; in North Carolina, $3.84, or 47 per cont in Arkaness; £5.92, or 66 per cont; in Loulsiann, $19.29, or 60 por cont; in Bouth Carolina, §5.63, or 66 porcent; and so on. Thio doprociation fu tho valuation of farm implo- ments in tho gamo time waa from $89,816,000 in gold in 1800 to 955,821,280 in ourrency in 1870, or o loss of moro than one-half. The decroase in tho value of stooks and erops that wore raised in 1860 and 1870 was in tho somo proportion. Tho figures, though sufficiontly startling in thomaelvos, do not ropresont the Joss by pro- voution of natural increnss, which it is propor to consider. Tho gain in wonlth in Now York was 185 por cont in gold valuog; In Iowa, 135 ; in Missourl, 194; in Ponusylvanin, 117 ; in Mich- Igan, 120; In California, 148. Tho average gain in oll the Btates, excopt tho thirteon Southorn Btatos undor considoration, waé 111 por contjn the ton yoars, At this ratio, -the wealth of thoso Southorn Btstos wonld have boon incremsed by 1,000,000,000, iu- stoad of boing diminishod by $1,200,000,000. The difference to tho country, thereforo, by the Impovorishmont of the Southorn Statos, is rop~ resonted by moro than 85,000,000,000, or consid- orably moro than our Natioual dabt. Thero aro fow mon af tho prosout day who will caro to disposo of, tho whole question by docid- ing tho impovorishment to bo a just visitation upon tho 8outh for the sins of the Rebollion. Practical mon will rather stop to considor that tho burden of tht loss falls upon tho entiro country, aud lnquire fute tho cauao of it. It cannot be traced to the omancipation of the slaves. Tho slavos woro emancipated in Dola- ware, Marylaud, and Missouri, but tho increado of wealth in thoso Btatos was soverally 74, 66, and 184 por cont in ton yoars, 'Tho ravages of war will not sccount for it, for no Stato suffored moro sovoroly than Missouri, unless it was Vir- ginin, from tho brunt of battle and neighbor- hood turmoil. Delawsre, Maryland, and Mig- souri wore all Southern Btates, hut, whilo they goined an averago of 100 por cent in woalth, tho thirtoon otbor Southorn Blates lost an aver- age of G0 por cont in wealth, Thoro is only ono other cause that can nccount for this wholestlo impoverishment, and thet i% to bio found in the abusas incident to rocon- struction. Maryland, Dolaware, aud Missourl did not suffor these abudos, and thoroforo nd- vanced steadily in matorinl prosperity nlong with tho Northorn States, All tho ather South- ‘orn Btates did suffor from thom, and rotro- graded nccordingly. These abusos mpy bo summod up undor-two gonoral bonds: (1) Tho divorsion of a largo proportion of tho colored pooplo from systomatic industry, and (2) tho villainies of carpat-baglem.. The misapprehon- #lon of the negroes as {o the meaning of eman- clpation was sorlous onongh in itsalf to occasion n shock {n business. They very gonorally con- strued emancipation from slavery to moan cman-~ cipation from work. Thoy wero encoutaged in Allg viow by the managoment of tho Proedmon's Buroaw, and by tho promises of Northorn domngogues unxlous for political pro- forment. Novortholoss, what thoy did earn was tholr ‘own, and_ that was a moral componsating adventago, Tho riotous roign of tho carpat~ baggers in tho Bouthorn: Btates, plandering the peoplo on evory alde, and loading thom down. with dobt and taxation, will acoount for the gon~ eral impovorlshmont ovon moro thau tho slothful~ nose of the blacks. Tho tima hiss now como for tho peoplo of tha North to remove the causo, whioh fa still working tho ssmo results, Tho Bouthorn peoplo ara completely cowed, and in many Blatos will -probably novor make another affort without aid to resono thomeolves tud thoir proporty from the dospotism that rulos to ruln, But tho peoplo of the North eaunat afford tphave this procesa of fmoverishmpent continue, 2 Tho difforonco of £5,000,000,000 In proparty valuoa nt tho Houth, Including the actunl deprecintion and tho stoppago of nntural inoronss, menns a withe drawal of that amount of tax-pnying resources, This withdrawal of tnxos, which tho Southorn Btaton might pay undor favorabla olroumatancos, throws just that additionnl burdon upon tho tax- pnying property o the North, In ihla viow of tho cngo, the support of the earpet-ha g Govern- montsof tho Bouthorn States falls proportion- ately upon every tax-payor In the Northorn Btatos, A ridloulous soono rocontly oceurred in the English Parliament. On the 18th of July, Br. Whalley nsked Mr. Gladatono whathor ho Was Awnro that o Josuit priost had boen permit- ted to have tho oxclusive ko of Cantorbury Cae thedral upon the occnion of tho pilgrimngo of Roman Ontholics to tho tomb of Bt. Thomas o Bocket, and to leeturs for over an hour to the pligrime in oulogy of the old monks aud priosts who wore formorly connocted with that Ca~ thedral; and, if ho wos so awara, whothor ho deomed it oxpodiont to provent the recur- ronco of such proccedings in tho fu- ture. Mr. @ladstono eaid in roply that, from' all the information ho could gatlior, thero wora only two suspiclous ciroum- stancos connectod with the affair. One was that & body of Roman Cntholics had visited the Ca- thodral upon & day in some way connacted with the martyrdom of Thomas o’ Beckot, ana tho othor was that tho handbill snnouncing tho mooting was printed on plak paper, which ap- peared also to have some myaterious conneoction with the martyrdom, Mr. Glndstono further in- formod tho distrossod Mr. Whalley that ho knew of but two wnys to provent tho recurrence of auch procoodings in future, One was to closo tho Oathodral, whioh would bo & publio misfor tuno ; and tho othor was to administor a roll gloua tost to visitors. My, Whalley, however, was not ontorely satisfied until he had asked whother ho would be allowed to addross an agsembly in the Cathedral, to which Mr. Glad- stona replied in the afiirmative,~providing Mr. ‘Whalloy had some useful information to impart, Tho Inttor sssurance soomod to comfort Mr. ‘Whalloy, and ho sat down amid roars of langh- tor. Tho incidout is significaut, o8 showing that fanpticism in roligious mattors is not contined to ono country or poriod. While the law In England which prohibits the marringo of & widowor with his deceased wife's sistor ig atrictly onforced, tho sister being noth- {ug moroe thau a mistrous in the oyes of tho law, & rocont cage shows that the Courts of Equity in Grent Britain will not allow {t to affoot hor prop- orty rights. Ono Capt. Hardingo, who lived nonr Birmingham, Evg., married a Miss DBuck- ton, hig docoased wife's sistor; but, beforo mar- rying lhor, deedod to {rustoes a couaid- erable amount of property for her bon- oftt, After Capt. Hardinge’s denth, his beir-at-law sued for the rocovory of tho property thus deoded away, on tho ground that it had beon given for an immoral and un- lnwful consideration,—that of Mliss Buckton's colnbiteting with him undor more form of mar- rlage which the law did not recognize. Tho Court held that, whilo it was ita duty to discour~ ago flctitions marrisges within the prohibited dogreen of consnugulnity or aflinity, it could not, 04 a Court of Equity, flnd any ground fér setting agide o trust for the boneflt of o woman so mar- ried. Tho deoision j8 & virtual acknowlodgment of the absurdity of the law, It is a significant circumstance that the bo- trothal of Princo Arthur, of tho royal family of Englaud, to tho Princess Thyra, of Denmark, was not announced until after tho British Par- liament had voted £25,000, or about $125,000,5 year to tho Duko of Edinburgh au his murriago- portlon, Infact, tho engagement,whichhad lealed out, was ofticially donicd at tho timo the Duke of Edinburgh's wedding-portion was under consid- eration. It wag ovidently thought to be good policy to submit tho demand for oxtravagant royal annuitios'ono by onio. Tha Britieh people will probably congratulate thomeolves that thers ara only two moro unmarried childron loft in the royal family, one boy and one girl, But, by tho timo thoy aro throngh granting annuities to royal children, there will probably bo su exton- sive domand for annwtles for royal grandchil~ dron. Tho royel family of Groat Britain is un- fortunately large and proverbially prolific.
