AN INTiatnmNG OCCASION at the exposition.
Tuesday at 11 o'clock there assembled in Judges'
hall one of the largest and most intelligent audl
cnccs gathered during lhc|>eriodo{ the exposition
for the pnrposeof hearing an address from the Hon.
Francis D. Moulton,, president of the International
Dairy' Fair association, and a prominent and well
known merchant In the city of New York. It had
been the purpose of the managers of the expoti
(ion to have Mr^ Moulton make this address dining
the meeting of the National Cotton l???lnnters' associ
ation, lint accidents by rail prevented his arrival in
time for that, and so the matter was referred to a
s|??plal occasion, in no wise less Interesting or less
opjiortunc The address of yesterday was, as will
be seen by reference to i ts contents below, one of the
most suggestive and eloquent of the many that have
been made features of this exposition. It contains
thoughts and references of the highest value to the
agricultural interests of this country, and may-
well be commended to the earnest study and
consideration of thoso who practice the state
smanship of this union. The subject of
agriculture is one that must' of necessity
claim the highest attention from those
who legislate, because there is no doubting
the proverb, that "the farmer feeds us all." and no
country and no people can utrord to bcdirellct in
attending to the needs and claims of the almoners
of life. Ill tlic address of Mr. Moulton wc ure
pleased to recognize a substantial ad
herence to views and sentiments cal
dilated in the highest degree if properly
accomplished, to dignify agriculture as a tmrsiiitof
the people and to add immensely to Its influence ns
the Iiest element of our national progress. In
another column we give sonic attention to the train
of thought awakened by some of the remarks of Mr.
Moulton In his address of y esterday and our pur
pose notv is here to present to tlic eyes and consid
eration of our readers the most admirable words
spoken yesterday by Mr. Moulton.
The director general, Hon. 11.1. Kimball, in in
troducing Mr. Moulton to the audience, said:
"It has given me, as it Ims ell of us. great pleas
ure, to welcome here from time to tlffie representa
tive men from all parts of the country'. ??nd partic
ularly those who represented the material and
agricultural Interests of the country. The National
cotton planters' association, which held its conven
tion here lust week, had upon its programme
an address to be delivered by a gentleman who
lias studied and well understands Ihesubjecl of agri
culture in its most economic fealurcs???the means
by which the grandest results can be obtained from
the pursuits of intelligent labor and industry. Un
fortunately, mi accident to the train delayed the
gentleman until after the adjournment of that con
vention, but. knowing the importance of that ad
dress to this iiconic, the managers of the cxjiosiiion
have Insisted that the gentiemnn should remain
mid deliver it to-day. I refer to
Mr. Francis D. Moulton, a prominent
merchant of New York, auil president of the
International Dairy Fair association, whom I now
have the honor to introduce to you."
Mr. Moulton, on coming forward, was received
with the hearty and inspiring applause of hisuudi-
once, and proceeded in a vigorous and eloquent
style to deliver the following able and noteworthy
.address: , .
I shall not attempt to state in figures my thought
of the importance of the International cotton expo
sition. for the Impression made on my mind by it
is far lieyond my practical power of expression. 11
suggests to me now much greater peace and pros
perity are than war and desolation,
oud I cannot help recurring to one of the greatest
questions asked of man, to which one of the great
ext unsw ers was given. God said to Solomon, "Ask
???what I shall give thee." Ai d that wise nmn said,
"1 am but a little ehild. I know not how to go out
or come In. Give, therefore, thy servant an under
standing heart, that I may discern between good
anil baa." The speech pleased the land that Solo
mon did nsk this thing, and God raid unto him,
lieenuso thou hast lint asked for thyself long life,
neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor the life of
thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself under
standing to diseem judgment, lichold 1 have done
according to thy word*: 1 have given thee a w ise
and nil understanding heart, and have also given
thee that which thou nast not asked???both riches
anil honor???so that there shall not be any among
die kings iik ; unto tliec all thy days.??? It seems to
. me that some one of our own time,
as wise and ns puie of purpose
os Kolomon has again been asked: ???What shall!
give thee??????? and the gift Is peace and the promise of
prosperity through it, as we see it here to-day.
Verily the prayer for understanding to discern
judgment is being here and now answered. 1 can
not stan d in this presence without feeling that the
glory of it dims the Humes flint once made you
homeless and writes the name of your director
general, who represents peace, hieher than any
other mime I can think of or know of ut the present
moment. If tills is not true, then peace is not
higher than war and prosperity Is not better than
desolation. 1 think all who have been associated
in this enterprise, from the president, through your
executive committee, to its humblest officer, will
leave to posterity their names written on a roil of
honor that civilization, forever and forever, will be
glad to read, over and over.
This is a grand display of agriculture and mauu
facture, and its representation of cotton and its pro
ducts is superior to anything ever done before In
connection with any specialty. The thought and
labor that have made Oils exposition the great suc
cess it is, are worthy of the highest commendation,
and the practical results to the material int . rests of
the south nud of the whole country are beyond the
I>owcr of computation. It is attracting the attention
of the whole world, and amongst the immediate re
sults will be the popularization of the southern sec
tion of this country in the north and in Europe
where your advantages and resources need to lie
better known. The day will come, and that within
a quarter of a century, when more cotton will lie
manufactured in tlic state of Georgia than is now
manufactured in New England, and after all the
land iu the west is occupied there will oe enough
left In the smith to support a nation of people as
great in numbers as we are now, and in the mean
time furnish room for all who want good land tu
reasonable prices in a delightful climate. The man
agers of this enterprise ana the capitalists who have
contributed to it, and the exhibitors who have
made it so interesting and instinctive, have per
formed a service of far more importance to the
whole people than to themselves, and Director-
General Kimball, by his wisdom. cnU rprise nud
high purposes, luus written himself n public bene
factor, and his service second to none yc t rendered
to the best interests of the south and of the uhion.
Agriculture and industry are voiced here as never
before in the history of this or any other country,
and this exposition bus in it a meaning for me
deeper and more beneficent than either the exposi
tion of England or the exposition of France: for
this reason: That there is no inconsistency be
tween the results oi labor here, and our form of
government, because it is republican it lulps to
successful individual issue Every man here lias
the possibility of the possession of land to till lie
fore him ns an incentive to work. It has not been
so elsewhere, and what is termed to-dav
the most civilized government on the face
of the earth represents an inconsistency between
the results of industry and the rights of man t.-o
near to us not to be known by us all and almost too
painful for reference.
England may imprison and hang and lie able to
suppress Insurrection, but she cannot roll her heart
of stone against the prison door and prevent the
escape of human rights any more than the stone
rolled against the senulchre and guarded by the
soldiers of Pontius Pilate could prevent the resur
rection. England is making a mistake. No, non
mistake, she is committing a crime. This is not tlr
day of insurrection???it is the day of resurrection of
human rights. No government or governments are
strong enough to prevail agauist it. This is the day
oi the last struggle.'
There is nothing more significant with reference
to successful industry in this country than the asso
elation* representing agriculture now in existence
from Maine to the guU and from the Atlantic to
the I???aeific. And your exposition may be consid
ered the grand culmination of the expressions oi
such associations and is a reason why their efforts
ought to be and will be continued. There is no
higher duty to be performed by any one than
to assist agriculture bv the disserainatiou of the
individual information which results in the associa
tion to which 1 have referred, and which will finally
conclude, in my opinion, iu the establishment of
an organization to which all necessary agricultural
information shall be sent, and accurately, and from
which it can be as accurately disseminated. I do
not, on this point, believe the agriculturists of the
country need the care of the government near so
much as the government needs the care of the ag-
i it will be better for the whole
'tural information should be re-
buted by what might be termed
Ise than through tho proposed
_ if another department at Wash-
_ link that the American agricultural
association, which is national in its aims and oper
ations, promises to be a sufficiently siring ana re
liable organization for all the practical purposes of
agriculture in the directlou indicated. To state
???my thought exactly I hope the lime will never
come that the interest* of agriculture shall in anv
sway be affected by changes of administration in
ithis govemmi nt. It is possible, eminently so, to
.conserve those interests aud greatly to enhance
glu m by other methods. One industry, at least, in
this country???the dairying Industry???has
aitready shown the results of such
individual enterprise. It represents an
annual industry of over $100,000,600 nnd it is
4n-dny changing the ownership of properrr v*>-c
effectually with the people by making profitable
% re ownership of small farms. Aud iu cuuucctiuu
with it, and growing out of it. is another develop
ment in agriculture known as the ensilage system.
As evidence of its value I may say that I have seen,
within the last year. 130 head of homed cattle and
12 homes kept on the product of fifteen
acres planted in com. aud if this
system be generally adopted throughout the
country, as I believe it will be. the next problem
which this country, or ra her. its people, will have
to face, but with a smile, will be "How to starve?
This system of ensilage Is really the recreation of
the eastern and seaboard states, and will be of great
and lasting valne to the whole country.
ILs success has been proven, as l kuow; not only
from conversations with practical, intelligent ex
perimenters who have tried it. but from actual ob
servation. And I believe for many of your native
grasses: n 1 for cow peas as well as for corn fodder,
it is eu 4 rely practicable in the southern states
where it is mnch needed. Thcexpcriment at this
exposition, which X believe has not been satis
factory, proves nothing except that it was not pro
perly carried ont. It requires an observance of
conditions and a knowledge qf the business to
make good ensilage as It does everything e.se. aud
that information is accessable to every farmer.
Some of the most successful fanneis that I know
of are giving their attention to this system and ! do
not yet know of a failure iu ic. Ou this uuesubjeet
alone the American agricultural association has al
ready gathered much valuable information, a por
tion ofwhich it furnishes in its magazine, the Jour
nal, and will gather yet more, which its secretary
will give freely to whosoever will apply fortit
I cannot hope within the time that I shall tax
your patience, to discuss fully the better results
hat I think will come to the wh ile people from
having the national association of agriculturists to
which I have referred, to consider all the questions
relating to agriculture than would come by having
a bureau at Washington for the dissemina
tion of such information, and I shall not attempt It
further than to state two or three thoughts that
seem to me to be on the threshold of such a dlscus-
8l "t is my opinion that it would never do: thatH
would be more an injury' than a benefit to have a
minister representing agriculture auil removable as
cabinet ministers are by every change of adminis
tration. If there is nuy interest that ought not to
be entrusted to the keeping oi party it is the agricul
tural interest of this country. The whole pcoplearc
so deeply interested in accurate information, given
by lioritst nnd responsible parties with
out any other than right motives;
that to ask the question whether agri
culture should be subject to the vicissitudes oi our
political elections is to answer it and answer it
with a negative that shall make the ???No,??? with
its two letters broad enough and long enough to
cover this continent.
We do not want more patronage, "e want less.
Do we not stand within hearing of the pistol shot,
and does not its flash bum our faces, of an assassi
nation, which was the last expression of the cuiso
of patronage? Have not two senators of the I'nited
States just resigned their high offices in violation of
their obligation to the state and government, be
cause of this question of patronage? Let us do
nothing to agriculture that shall be a step in the
direction of the repetition of such awful and morif
tying spectacles.
I havC no fears for this country in consequence of
the accumulation of wealth if the grasping hands
of capital are not allowed the governmental con
trol for the getting of all the information they can
nnd dis;ribuiing it to suit their purpose, when nnd
where, and how they choose. And it would not be
a difficult matter, if the Interests of the agricultur
ists were lodged in a department of the
government to make all infor mation
on this subject subservient to very largo
interests as against the interests of the small owners
of the soil. I cannot see where the governmental
control will cease short of centralization, if we
should take the first step as advocated by many
people who are wise and honest, of putting agricul
ture under the control of a department orcabinat
minister at Washington. I do not,
when I use the word centralization,
i- can the centralization of political power merely.
We might acquiesce in that wisely or unwisely some
day if the government fn Its various branches were
1 osely administered. I hope and believe that day
in remote, but I refer to the'ealamity of the central
ization of intelligence and enterprise. You might
as well make the air we breathe subject to the ad
ministration of a cabinet officer. This business of
the centralization of intelligence has been tried in
improved machinery, all contribute to this result.
Aud still, above ail. I want to see the farmer s
home made more comfortable. 1 want their wives
and their daughters to have more comforts and less
drudgerv throughout our land aud every where.
Instead of being the hardest life for women, 1 want
it to lie me easiest, as itiialurally should be.
I am glad that so much attention is being given
to agriculture by scientific and by businessmen.
.Some of the ablest writers and experimenters are
devoting tbelr lives and talents to the work of
scientific investigation in agriculture, and here in
the south is one of these men who has contributed
much of Inestlmilde value fo the success of this
exhibition. I refer to Colonel J. B. Killebrew, of
Tennessee.
From the bnsincss walks of life Mr. Theodore A.
Havemeyer, of New York, one of tho largest and
ablest business men 1 know of and a good and true
man in cveTy tray, is contributing of his means and
intelligence to the establishment of the best sys
tems of breeding, dairying aud feeding cattle. And
here I wish to remark that l consider what is called
fancy farming of the utmost value to the agricul
ture of this country, for whilst it may not pay the
owner in dollars and cents, and It rarely does, it
gives to the community the benefit of
the experiments without cost to them.
I am here as a representative of the American Agri
cultural association to your fair, and on its behalf
extend its wannest greeting and its earn ex', congrat
ulations over the success of your great enterprise
and contribution to civilization. Our association
1
the world???s history, vividly, luridly, once by Philip
II of Spain. And a brave people destroyed in one
night the woik of three hundred yearsin successful
protest agaiust his invasion. The Hollanders cut
the dykes. And if ever tho time should come for
an equally brave act on this or any other question,
it will find mi equally brave people to meet
ir. It would be just as legiti
mate to put the transportation interests of the
country there, nnd if the transportation interests
and agricultural interests were both placed there,
it needs no argument to show that the producer???s
independence would be affected and his way
to a market qualified. bet private
enterprise on the farms of the
lountry take care of itself; let private enterprise iu
the irauqnirtation interests of tlic country take care
of itself, subject, of course, to such notice regulation
ns will prevent one man from robbing another with
impunity. If this be done I have no doubt that the
same private enterprise will support an association
that will tend to the development of all tlic resour
ces of this country.
Let the transportation and producing interests re
main unfettered and untramnielcd, and let each
learn the wants of the other better and come to a
realization of the fact that their interests are identi
cal. They should co-operate together In collecting
and disseminating information on crops nud trans
portation, on legislation nnd on every subject nf-
iceling their mutual interests, and every subject
that affects one affects the other. The farmers re
quire the best service at the lowest rates they can
be ottered for. The railroads need the largest sup-,
port fram the farmer in merchandise and for
equitable laws. Let each then consider the inter
ests of tlic other, and in doing this they will con
sider their own. Neither want the interference of
partisan politics. They are quite capable of man
aging their own allairs.
The government will doits whole duty by not re
tarding intercourse in any way between the sections
of this country. Legislation is not so much
needed as the absence of it, nud
if the farmers and merchants and
transportation people of the union simply act on
the theory propounded by Washington when lie
spoke of the advantage to be gained by the connec
tion of the seaboard with the interior of the country
in these words: "Smooth the road -make the way
easy???and you shall find how the increase of pro
duce and the export trade will repay you for your
labor and the expenditure of your money;??? then
the farmers, mere hauls and manufacturers will
have done their duty and the government will be
prosperous without having made any great ex
penditure for ils development in this direction.
It would not be possible for me to prove to you
that all wisdom is with me any more than it would
be possible for any one of you to prove to me that
all wisdom was with you; but we can all of us go
to this extent, in finding out what is best for our
interests and the interests of ourcountry. Each
one of its should undertake to find out some essen
tial truth to the growth of his state and country,
and when he thinks he has found it out lie ought
to state it aud disseminate his views as iaras he can.
By the cradle of each one of us is bom a truth to
perish never,??? aud wc ought to
make use of it. I will il
lustrate what I.mean by making a statement upon
a subject about which I think lam informed I
may not be. avid it is no part of my purpose to ask.
you to accept my view of it, except as vou shall de
termine, after discussion, that it is right. Consider
for a moment the tariff on salt. Amerieau salt,
which claims protection, costs no more in the midst
of marke]>. that is, at Saginaw and Syracuse, than
foreigu salt costs free on board ship at the polut of
departure. The tariff at present is equal to it hun
dred percent of the cost of the salt on Turk's Is
land and in Liverpool. The freight at
present from Liverpool amounts to a pro
tection of more than a hundred per cent of the
value of the salt. The interest account is another
large item and the insurance account also. In
otter words, a necessity oi life is protected by a tax
that amounts to over two hundred per couL Now.
I believe that the consumers of provisions and the
makers of butter and cheese and the farmers gener
is of the country ought not u> be subjected to any
such tax on a necessity olllfe, and 1 onlv discuss
this question here to suggest to you the discussion
of other tike questii ns in the sections of country to
which yon belong, for the purpose not so much of
determining the iisue between protection mid free
trade as to secure for yourselves the benefits and
blessings of fair trade.
Thus far farming has kept pace with science and
invention. It hits done more: it lias given an im
petus to commerce and trade that js a marvel of the
age. Railroads permeate the country, uniting ut
most every town and hamlet with the seaboard
S ons. Steamships carrying from two thousand to
ve thousand tons of freight have almost become
as common as the thousand ton shins of a decade
ago, and they go loaded with our produce to foreign
jKirts. Our exports have increased, in a
rate surprising to civilization. and
prosperity beams upon every part of our land. To
agriculture we owe everything. No man's policy
nor no theory of finance has had anything to do
with the revival of business. It was our bountiful
crops. I have said tha- agriculture naskept pace with
the advaucc of science and industry, but we must
not conclude that we can stand still and not be
passed on the way. With the advance of intelli
gence ami the discoveries in science and invention
comi???etilion grows stronger. Other nations
are competing with ns in our foreign interest*.
Portions of our land are being dep'eted. We must
therefore be constantly on our guard, constantly at
work to find out the best methods and employ the
best systems. We must learn how to grow more
produce from the present acreage. We must dis
cover, if possible, better aud cheaper principles of
national in character and represents all sections
of the country and all branches of agriculture. A
national fair under its auspices is proposed io be
held during next year of Uve stock, agricultural im
plements and machinery, and the products of the
soil in one of the principal cities of the country.
1 have said this fair would represent all sections
of the country???the north, the east and the west
will be there, but 1 know their hearts will be
warmed by the impress of their southern sisters,
welcoming them with such an ardor of love as will
surprise and gratify and exalt the north, the south
the east and the west before all the peoples on the
face of the earth. I should tike to nave the south
represented there by the director general, who has
not with personal nride raised his name above his
country but whose' countrymen of the south have
writlenTt high upon the monument of his and their
enterprise.
I regret the enforced absence of our president.
Colonel Sprague, who had hoped to the last moment
to come with us. He has taken great, interest in
your exposition and will be glad to know of its great
success since he is one of the largest farmers in the
country and greatly interested iu all that concerns
its development.
I am glad to have the opportunity" to meet you
and to witness the extraordinary development that
is going on here. Tbe hospitality of the people of
AUunta is become a household word, aud her thrift
and enterprise seem to rivul our most enterprising
cities. I am glad to find that one of your active
moving suirits is Colonel Ilotve, of Boston, whom I
have known intimately fora quarter of a century as
one of the best specimens of an American the
country has. I cannot pay him a higher tribute.
You have learned his merits. I am delighted to
find how much at home he feels, aud is, with yon.
He is a citizen of the world and belongs to every
seetion.
I wish it were possible for me to name the names
of all who hove assisted to the success of the grand
exposition, and to clothe them with the glow of
gratitude nnd praise which should surround them.
May the blessing and benison of heaven cover your
cotton fields with a mantle of white, and guild your
grain fields with a golden halo and ente. your
homes to bless you, and go with you to lay the
foundations of your setool houses and be with you
in the building of your churches, and rest upon us
all until we feel the throbs of that perfect brother
hood that will maxes your homes and hopes also,
nnd until the north, cast, south and west shall
chant together the anthem of a re-united nation???
???The Lord is our Shepherd, we shall not want. He
maketh us to Me down in green pastures aud lead
cth us besldo the still watera.???
The address was received with the most earnest
and courteous attention, and seemed to fully im
press itself witli all of its new and important sug-
gestionsupon the minds of those who heard it and
at its conclusion, when it was enthusias
tically applauded and a large number
of the auditors pressed forward to con
gratulate the speaker for having uttered in that
presence and upon this occasion sach.brave and
prophetic words. The director general thanked the
audience for their respectful and intelligent ap
proval. and thus ended one of the most important
and telling episodes in the history of the exposi
tion.

This has been decidedly the dullest week of the
season, aud in our market there has been a scarcity
of buyers and demand. On yesterday business re

day a buoyant feeling took possession of the mar
ket. aud prices were wafted upward under the
influence of an active demand and liberal transac
tions. Recelptsforthe week show a marked falling
off as compared with last week and the correspond

weather for several days may have interfered with
receipts to some extent. Transactions for future
deliveries have been quiet. Receipts for the week

Gentlemen: 1 was suttonne from general debility to each an extent that my labor was exceedingly bur
densome tome. A vacation of a month did not glvo mo mnch relief, bat on tho contrary, was followodjbj-
increased prostration and sinking chills. At this time I began the use of yonr Iron Toxic, from which I re
alized almost immediate and wonderful results. The old energy returned and I found that my natural force-
war not permanently abated. I have used three bottles of the Tonic. Since usingltlhavo done twice tbo la-
borthnt I ever did in the same time during my illness, and with double the ease. With the tranquil nerve
and vigor of body, has come also a clearnessof thought never before enjoyed. If the Tonlohosaot done tha
work, 1 know not what. I give it the credit, J. Pi Watson, Pastor Christian Church. Troy, O.

Since 1S70, Dr. sherar has each year sent from this
office the means ofjrelief aud cure to thousands af
flicted with disease. The correspondence necessi
tated by this work becoming too heavy for him, I
came to his aid. He now feels constrained to relin
quish it entirely, and has placed in my hands the
formula of that simple vegetable remedy discovered
by an East India missionary, and found so effective
for the speedy and permanent cure of Consump
tion, Bronchitis, Catairh.Astbinaaud all Throat and
Lung Diseases; also a positive afid radical cure for
Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints. Its
remarkable curative powers have been proven in
many thousand cases, and, actuated by the desire
to relieve suffering humanity, I gladly assume the
duty of making it known to others. Address me,
with stamp, uumitig this tinner, and I will mail you,
free of charge, the recipe of this wonderful reme

THE COTTON MARKET
CONSTITUTION OFFICE,
Atlanta. December 17.1881.
THE WEEK???S REVIEW???FRIDAY. DECEMBER 16.',
New York???The general cotton market during the
early and middle of the week was unusually quiet
and dull, and sales fell considerably below the
average. The tendency of the market in the mean
time showed no definite indications as to which
way it would move, and its probable course for sev
eral days hung between doubt aud uncertainty
Throughout the week it was a notable feature that
toward the close of each day the general feeling of
the market would invariably improve, though at
the opening all symptoms of improvement seemed
to vanish. At the close yesterday tho months were
able to retain a better feeling, and at the opening
this morning quotations were generally sustained.
Notwithstanding a steady tone prevailed through
out the day the market moved gradually upwards.
