We went over to young Harman s law
office last Friday aud borrowed his copy
of (sbakespeare until Saturday, iu order
to have a quotation from Cardinal Wolsey
on the fail of greatness ready at hand so
soon us wc heard of the change. But as
the change has not yet been officially an
uounced, we haven’t returned the book.
But this tt the quotation we iuteuded
to give la case he did have to give way to
Belcher:
So farewell to the little good you bear me.
Farewell, s long farewell to all my greatness !
This Is the state of man: to day he puts forth
The leader leaves of hope; to morrow blue
And bear* hit blushing honors thick upon him;
The third day cornea a front, a killing frost;
And—when he thinks, good easy man. full
surely
Ills greatness la a ripening—nips hla root.
And then he fella, as I do. 1 have ventured,
LAW little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This manv WMWI In theses of glory;
But far beyond my depth: my nleh blown
pride
At length brokeunder me; and now has left me
Weary and old with aorviea, u> tho mercy
Of a rudo stream, that must forever hide me.
Vais pooip and gioiy of this world, 1 hate ye;
I feel my heart new open'd. O, how wretched
la that poor mas that hangs os princes’ favors’
There la betwixt that smile we would aspire to

The Farmers’ War on the Railroads.
Hr. Louis March 27.—'The Democrat's
Peorin, I'll . special says the fanners of
that section are organising for a war on
Him railroads A meeting was held there
hi day. at which resolutions were adopted
declining that they intended to prosecute
the war on the railroad corporations until
the farmer's tights were recognized and
respected A permanent organization was
effected, and n feeling of earnest determi
nation was manifested.
Thus reads a dispatch to the Western
Press. To one iniated into every intri
cacy of commerce it will excite no sur
prise. To those among us who are paying
one/ dollar per bushel for corn and ten
cents per pound for bacon there may be a
mystery which needs explanation. The
writer, a native of the South, but often
visiting and sojourning among tho far
mers of the North-West, would say that
lie never saw a pooler class of laborers
thau they for the opportunities they natu
rally possess. They have a soil which
almost invariably produces forty or
tifly bushels of corn per acre, with
wheat, oats, barley, bay and so on,
in proportion. Any calculation made
upon the reward of the producer,
tmsed upon the price paid for these in
Macon is ss Inlse as a politicians, vendica
tiou of himself Take a bushel of corn for
iustance ami tiaee it back. We find that
Win Ward of Noble county, Illinois,
raised it lie sold it to a speculator for 15
cents in the field. The speculator paid 2
cents for gathering, 2 for shelling, 8 for
sacks to put it iu, 1 cent for hauling to
depot, and ten cents to his railroad for
carrying it to his Louisville commission
house. The drayage and commissions,
storage, tux, rutage, lossage, wharfage and
elevalorsge runs the price up to at least
five cents per bushel more. The price of
the corn now stands 4d cents per bushel.
A merchant, in Mucon telegraphs for it. It
arrives with railroad charges from Louis
ville to Macon amounting to 44 cents per
bushel, making the net cost 87 cents. The
Mucon merchant Is therefore obliged to
sell it for ‘JS cents to $1 in order to make
bis expenses and u living. Bacon, bay
and all other species of Western produce
merchandise can thus easily be traced back
to these farmers of I’eoria, Illinois, with a
like result.
In passing among them we have always
found them poor in purse, seedy in cloth
ing, that dependant look on tho counte
nance ulwsys portrayed in a man who has
no money. Tho little, fussy, consequential
conductor of the lightning express train,
with its well dressed people on board,
springs from the platform of the stations
of the fanners, gives them a look of con
temp, and if one should get upon his train
ho is treated with a cavalicrisli air truly
refreshing, when the thought comes up
that he is only the stream of the source.
An essay could well be written here
with plenty of Bpice and moralistic deduc
tions. But the plain truth is the prosper
ity of the Northwest is superficial. It be
longs to railroads and railroad combiua
natious. They allow the farmers to make
just enough to keep soul aud body together,
following exactly the same plan aud the
same theory of the Southern master of
Africans before the war, according to what
these virulent abolitionists used to say
about us.
It would lie a good joke for the South
to start s society for their emancipation.
