So wo are not going to have a great domana for brendstuffa and provie- jons nn account of great armics; nnd it is tho corroct thing for tho farmers to say that they would rathor loso all thoir money and bog from door to door than that tho natioos of tho earth should cegso produelngfinnd bogin consuming. But porhaps tho farmers will not ssy 1t, after all.

Theso roturns are, porhaps, 88 valuuble aaany that havo yet boen published ; the cotncidenco in thoso from oach Btato indicnto that they aro en- tiroly trustworthy. The New York Tribune's statement that the Rothschilds had rofused to invest in United States . bonds during the War bocause they wero dissuaded by Mr. August Belmont, was amanifest Jauzx pas. This wass statoment which Mr. Bol- mont was bound to deny it not trno. o hms donied it, snd now the only authority the Tribung can offer for its statomont is o “a gentleman whosa word, or whoso signaturo, weighs as much as bis (Belmont's), either in Wall stroot or Lom- bard street.” This is no anthority at all. It is posuiblo that Jny Gould's or James MoHonry's pignnture wonld *woeigh ag much”™ as Mr. Bel- mont's, bt tho word of neither of them would gono far. Dut until the persou's namo is given it does not weigh anything, and will pass for no morg, either in Wall stroet or Lombard street, than his uvsizned chook. i A glowing deseription of tho eountry traversed Ly Gon.

PR ON IN MAINE, The papers of Maino which opposs the pro- teotivo tariff do not Beom in tho least crushed out by Mr. Bpesker DBlnine’s donunciation of dircct taxntion, Tho Bangor Commercial ro- contly showed that the popnlation of Mr., Blaine's 6wn district declinod from 1860 to 1870, ‘becausa of removal to other Btstes consequont upon the prostration of industry by tho bhigh tariff. To this the protectionists roplicd that the loss of population was due to the numbor of Demoerais who bhad flod to Canada during the War. This rotort is considered especially brill- iant by tho protection organs. Bat tho same paper gives tho tables of tho numbor of live- atock and soma of the products Iu tho same dis- trict in 1860 and 1870 as follows: 1800, 1870, Mileh cows 2,71 19,884 Working oze 1o 1137 Sheep... 0,053 45911 Swine.. 0,477 5,523 Dutter, ths 828,101 1,714,308 Chceno, Ib 246,003 166,802 Bacley, by 0888 166,800 Mr. Blsine, throngh the Kenncbso Jotrnal, appeals to tho farmors to remember that the tariff protects their checse, buttor, lard, rye, barley, oats, polatoes, vogotablos, beef, and pork, Tho duty on foroign potatoes is 15 cents per bushel, when the domestic article is selling in Bangorat 16 conts o bushol. All tho things in tho farmers' list which aro claimod to be pro- tocted are selling in Bangor to-day for loss mouey than thoy can be bought for over tho lime at BL. Johne, in Now Bruuawick, Tho at- tempt to toll tho farmers that thoy share any of the profits of protection is a palpable failura avd fraud. The proof is in the continued de- crengo of the number and amount of live-stock and agricultural products. Maine and Now Hampshire aro wo States which aro “pro- tected™ by all the ingeunity of the proteotion party.

Tothe gront maes of the people, the only choleo ia to fall mto the rauks of thoso who aro becoming poorer overy day or to migrate, Tho annual mi- gration from Maine and New Hampshire is groator than the natural increase; and few or nono over migrate into cither of those States. Tho blight of over-protestion hias fallon upon both.

BTATE AID TO HIGHER EDUCATION, The able papar read by Irosidont A, D. Whito, of Cornell University, bofore the National Toachers' Association, makes n strong plea for 8tato ald Lo highor education, Wo printed It in full tho dny aftor its dolivery. Itis difficult to do justica to 1t in condensing it ; yot the follow- ing may, wo think, bo considorod an approxi- mately fair eummary of its maln arguments, Tho Btate should aid and control higher education: Becauso this is tha logleal outgrowih of its ald to common sehools Beeanso tho nations which adopt this plan have bettor univorsitios than we; Bocause o collogo must bo founded and con: trolled eithoer by a sect or by the Rtato, and the firat syntom is thoroughly pornicious and inofil~ clont ; a . Bocauno it freon a collego from tho fottora fm- posod by ludividual donors; Because it stimulates privato gifts; Docauso it pronotos concoutration and so avoids wasto ; Boaoauso it wonld soonro the training in politi- cal knowlodgo which we #o sadly lack a8 & nu- tion. T'his formidable array of reasons may porhaps bomot. Thologioof facts, upon which Presidont -thomsalves about it further. ‘Whito rolies so much, {s not oxolusively upon his elde of tho quostion. o shsll take up hia ar~ gumenta in thelr ordor. In tho first placo, logic Is o vory falliblo guide in politics. Govornment 18 & nocossary ovil, nob an unmixed good. It is resorted tons & chofco hetwsen ovils made nocoseary by the fm- perfections of mankind, Whatover it docs ia voth good and bad. When It undortakes to on- forco o principle, Its firet stops way do more good than harm, - It does not, thorofore, follow thab tho last steps would bo in tho samo cato- gory. The logical outgrowth of tho protective systom would bo tho closing of our ports to all forelgn ships and foroign products, tho building of & logal Chinoso Wall around tho country. Yot tho oxtremest protootionist would call £his folly, ‘The logical oulgrowth of the issuo of irrodcom- ablo ourronoy *to sult the neods of thoe country” would . bo tho manufacturo by cach man of ns much rag-monoy a8 ho nooded, but evon Bonator Logan might perhaps dotaot the fallaoy in, this, Tho logical outgrowih of the Ststo manago- ment of tho Post-Ofco would bo.lits con- trol of the businoss of mlmost all great corporations, ospocially tho telographs and rallronds. Thological outgrawth of the funda~ montal doctrine of our institutions, that govern- ments dorive all their just powers from tho consent of the governed, would bo the instant ondowmont of women, Ohinoss, and Indians with tho franchise. But it ia idle to multiply oxamples. . Within & eortaln sphore QGovernment usually doea good. Outsido of it, it usually does harm ; though it advances in a straight line from the contro to tho cirenmfor~ enco and beyond.| It is truo that Gormany, which aids schools and universitios aliko, has bottor facilitics for the higbor cducation than we. This doss not provo, however, that the difforonco s caused by the difforent attitude of tho Biato.=Gorman thoroughness ; the American rostlossness undor school restraint and anxioty to ‘get into tho world"j; the greater multiplicity of socts hero and the resuiting multitudo of potty eollogos; the grostor approcistion of learning abroad; and all tho numberloss advantages offored tho student by an old, as distinguished from & new, civilization,—~thess conditions sorvo to oxplain most, if not all, of tho difforences betweon our uuivorsitics and the Gorman, 8o far a8 thoso dif- foronces nre to our disadvantago. If Prosidont Whilto's statemont that a collogo ‘must bo controlled eithor by ecct or Btate wore woll-founded, we should atonce call npon tho Stata forald. Ho provea thouttor inoflaiency of sectarian colloges as thoroughly as Tae TrIBUNE did somo time since, But these are not the only altornatives. Ho jgnores, In this caso, the groat fact of privato gifts. The Univorsity of whioh ho i8 the President takos ita name from a privals individual who has given it hundrods of thousands of dollars. Vassar, tho brower, foundod Vaasar Colloge. Mr. Jobn Hopkinshas boquenthed $8,500,000 to found Hopking Uni- vorgity at Baltimore. Yalo, originated by a seet, took ita namo in gratoful romombranco of a do- nation of books and money from Elihu Yalo. Harvard hes .grown by private benevolence, though founded by a sect. Whon Yalo and Har- vard woro originated, ovorything Wwas seotarinn, —cgpecially the - Btate, Their robust ex- fstonco mow is duo tfo private, mot publio or soctarian, aid. They have gradualiy frocd thomsolves from conncction with Church or Btate. And ag thoy have douo s, thoy have thrived. Tho five most celobrated colloges in this country aro Yalo, Harvard, Michigan, Cor- nell, and Washington-Leo. Ouno of them is o Stato institution. None of thom are sectarian, ° In roply to tha fanrth objection, wo havo to eny that tho fixed fotters imposed by dead donors, though often very irkeomo, are not apt to bo as much so 88 the shifting roquiromonts of aStato, What the latter founds, it will control. Professorships will bo used as political capital; mombers of the fooculty will havo to lobby, as the Professors of the Univorsity of Michigan did in iho easo of tho Homeopathic School attached to thint institution; appropriations will bo granted or withheld at tho will of-eapriclonglaw-makers; the university, in & ‘word, will bocome part of 1ho Btato Governmont, exposed to all tho whims of tho party that happens to be in power. Tho offeot of publio, in stimulating private, henevolonce may be doubted. When the State profosses to do a thing, few individusla tronbla Wo are not awarg that the Univorsity of Michigan, which is our ‘most conepicuous example of Btatd control, hins’ received from privato donors since its foundation a titho of tho monoy showered upon Yalo and Harvard during tho eame time, Thoro are not suficiout facts to warrant us, or Prosidont White, in laying down principles wpon this point. It'is not casy to sosrch a man's hoart and discover the * why" of any nction. 3 A Btato university, liberally supported, would prnmdm concontration by attracting students from small colleges and so crusbing tho latter, 8o would any liborally-supported university. It is immaterial whethor tho support is private or. public. - It is probablo, so far ng wasto per se is concerned, that tho same amaount of mouey would do moro in private than in public handa. Finnlly, the political inatruction and tho tocl nical training which wo neod are bolug offerod us In greator quantity each yoar, in responea to our growing domand. Private Louovolence is fonnding professorsinpaand professionnl schools, Tho Parker Teobnical Sohool, and tho Lawrouce and Sheflold Belontific 8chools, take their namos from tho individusls who foundoed and endowed. them.

Graut, or in tho Cabinet like Princo Blsmarck, maybo turned to account in moro ways than one. 'Thoy may, for instance, be mado uso of liko Gambrinus, na sn advortising modium. Tho last dodgo of a do- gortod watering-place to secura patronsge was to Invito Gon. Grant to visit it. Tho Goneral sccopted tho invitation, and tho almoat famishod hotol nnd borrding-houso keepors bung him out with his shoulder-straps, mword, brass buitons, and cigoar, as o hash-houso slgn of entertain- ment for man and beast. So conmspicuous and oxalted an objeot could not fall to at~ traot the oyes of tho country. - Atlantio City was changed from tho Sahara whioh it ia to a thriving motropolis. Tho butterflics of fashion flockod thore to seo s man with a stubby muse- tacho smoking! Tho President was utllizod. The hotols filled up, Rooms in boarding-houses |- wore in domand ; and the world had ono -more’ proof of tho advantages of adveriising. But, while tho sonsido epcculators were puroly mer conary in their kind invitation to tho President, it Is probuble that tho .hundrods who flocked there to catch o glimpso of him wore only affected by tho provalont disoago of hero-wore ship. The United States is not tho only country in which people have an eyo to tho pecuniary ad- vantagos which tho progenco of an oxalted per- sonage, Prosident, Princo, or Promior, may bring with it. Juet pow there is s Davarian farmor in luck. Ho has been making cash out of o visit pnidto his farm by Bismarck. Bus, unliko his Amorican cousius, ho is both a horo- wossbipor and & spoculator. Tho farmer was moking bay. DBismnrck stopped ot Lis farm, asked for tho scythe tho farmor was using, and mado o fow atrokes with it which sbowed off his strongth and what he know about farming to great advantago. Tho farmoer wondored, and, without knowing whom he had to deal with, as- sured the strangor ho was a firat-class farmer, sg well ablo to swing the ecytho a8 him- ealf, although ho hod beon practicing for forty-two yoars. In point of fact, the Prince has o vory good knowledge of farming ; and ho re- plied to his humble interlocutor that whatever lio undortook ho did woll ; and that it was betior tonot doitatall than to do it ill. Whon tho farmor loarned that Lo had beon conversing with Princo Bismarck he gave vont to all tho fooling that tho surprise awakouod iIn - the exprossion: 4 Potzbombengranaten!” He immediately dis- | covered that his-seythohad advanced immonsely in value, and informed his co-laborers that it would'tako a good round sum to purchase it. ‘With something of the fotish-worshiper aa wel] as of thehero-worshiper in him, he gave tho in- gtrament a most affocting caress, and asgured it of the constancy of i affection, averring that it would be doar to him ns long as ho lived. Aforeover, the farm was oxtonsivoly ndvertised. Bo was tho farmor. Crowds came to seo both, But the observer of all observors was that soythel Tho field has Leen called Bismarck Ficld. The hayof the farm is sought after moro than any other in Ba-' varia. Pity it ehould bo dovoured by unappro- clntivo beasta, Tho two instances we havomen- tioned polns to tho possibility of tho utilization of heroes in time of peace. By hiring out 88 ad- vertising-postors thoy might reap a rospoctable income themsolvos and kolp on tho fortunes of other peoplo.

Dorrogaray, commanding tho armios of that most moblo of modern butchery, Dou Our- los, has condescouded to sue a pronuncia- mento in which he declares that no quartor will be given to the National army. Ho speaks froquently of tho hidalguia of his superior butcher-who caused to be execnted, after ono battle, one-tenth of all tho privates aud all the oflicors, commissioned and non-commissioned, Tho Mdalguia was notably illustratod in the cago of Capt.
