From a Speech of Mr. Paddock IN TUK BENATK Of THE t'NITEI) STATES! Mr. President, the area of ara ble lands in the linked States probably exceeds tifteen hundred millions of square miles. The a tea at present under cultivation is estimated by the Agricultural Department to be only 174,5101 000 acres. This must ami will he increased correspondingly with the increase of population, unless our agriculture, because it shall become nnreintinerative, shall decline and our cities and towns be occupied at the expense-el'the rural sections. Jo the ultimate destruction of the country; lor without agriculture successfully maintained our Republic cannot long endure. Verily the day that witnesses the failure of agricul ture will mark the date of the sure decadence of this people ;! and, sir, if a thousand millions oft dollars are required to be expen- | ded, therefore, to‘encourage its t advancement, in the employment' of the various] instrumentalities i and methods to which 1 have call- i ed attention,'and all others that may be useful, to the end that agriculture may lie extended fo the fullest extent our immense facilities may permit and yet be fully and satisfactorily remunera tive, the investment would be the wisest, the most prudent,the most conducive to the prosperity ! and welfare of the whole people that has ever vet been appropri |ated. 1 hope, Mr. President, the day will some time come when our 'Congress will he made up more largely from the agricultural ;for the larger the percentage of rep resentation here in the persons of those engaged in practical agri culture. the more liberal will be the policies of the government in respect of it. I say tin's, Mr. President, with all due respect fo the three him ! dred lawyers, Ynore or less, who !to day occupy seats in the tw Homes of Congress, It is true, however, that the record and all past experience do not greatly I encourage this hope, for history ! discloses the fact that although I those engaged in practical ngri i culture since the existence any where of organized society have ; uniformly outnumbered those cm | ployed in all other avocations | combined, they haveasa rule had the smallest participation of eith er in the direction of the affairs iof the governments. Undoubted -1 ly farmers in our country occupy a higher plane socially and polit ically than actual tillers of the soil have heretofore held any where. Here, sir, the tiller of the soil is soverign. All things that are possible for any one are possible for him, and yef his class rarely huff direct personal representa tion in the great executive and legislative offices of the govern ment. This is a national misfor tune. The farmers of r>ur country who own and cultivate farms are ofdill others.most patriotic, for ownership, occupation, and use of the soil induce the growtla of patriotism everywhere. None so slow as they to engage in civil stile, or to consent to needless foreign wars ; none mere conser vative, more steadfast in their opposition to tyranny, to comma- ! nism.to revolutionary movements j of any kind against law and order ; against the rights of life and prop erty, and that protection result ing for all through a well-organi zed society. Therefore it is es pecially needful in a country like this, where the government rests upon the consent and } if lie will of the people, that stn-J a great, conservative, patriot!™ element should fiold Its fill! proportional representation in the personal di rection of affairs. Why is U, in view of these facts, that as a rule farmers are set aside ami the pro fessional men of the country arc generally assigned to liighexeeu live and legislative duties t The answer is easy. It is be cause 1 fanners are satisfied with giving to their children only in ferior education when it is appa rent that of all the youths of the land they should receive the moM careful trainiue. the most thorough, the most general in j si ruction. The practical agricnl j turist requires a knowledge of! economical chemistry, of botany, I of physiology, of entomology, of physics, of engineering, for all these may be brought into reqni I sition in the farm management. He should lie learned in political economy; in rules and usages and requirements of o mimcroc, and of trade, of finance, of cur rency, because the interests of his great calling are j needed with them all, ancy—) own knowledge of the exifcPJjjv lationship of each to the YABM should be able to proie. * interests wln'n they may i Tm periled by legislation having its object the special protection atw 1 advancement of some partimijy industry or avocation wit In due regard for the effect therelif upon agriclt tire ;he should be learned in the law, in order that lie may be able to understand and .defend his rights of property I when threatened ; lie should give j attention to literature, to philos ophy; finally, he should be con | spiciously cultured, mentally dis ciplined, enlightened, and refill led, because our civilization de j mauds it; because bis class, being the largest, the most interested in the prosperity of the country, therefore the safest of ali, should lead in allairs; and this it rim not do until those who compose it are thus qualified to lake the exalted place at flic head of the j column of progress to which olh j erwisc they would be entitled. Farm Crops of the Kill ire Coun try. The price of corn in (bis coun try is governed entirely by the quantity produced and I lie con sumption, the quantity exported being too small in proportion to the enormous amount raised to exercise aninffuence on the price therefore the crop of 1878, which exceeded the immense one of 1877—the largest ever raised in the United States—brought the figures much lower than those of last year. Tlie lowest State a verages, according to the special repoTt issued by tlie agricultural department at Washington, are in lowa and Nebraska, both of which States increased their pro ducts largely, too great for home consumption and too remote from leading markets, bringing tlie price down to about one-half that of 187(i. The States showing the highest average price are the Gulf St ates, from Georgia to Tex as, where the consumption fully equals the crop where the prices are little less than those of last season. In the case of wheat the price ,is greatly influenced by the Fn | ropean demand. The average price of the increased crop of 1877 stimulated by the war in Kurope, was SI.OB, Iml for I lie year 1878, with an addition of upward of 50,000.000 bushels, the price bad fallen to 78 cents per bushel on December I, 1878. The great value of the cotton crop is also founded on the de maud for export. Statistics show that in 1878 we had regained the position held prior to 1801, and that four-fifths of the cotton iimhl and manufactured in Great Bri tain came from the United Slates. The proportion of the total crop exported to foreign parts was 340,000 hales, out uf a crop of 4,750,000 bales during the year ending September 1, 1878. Rasing the calculation on the prices re turned by the producer the value of the crop for 1878 is given at $104,700,0<)0, while the number of bales is 5,200,000, tin* average for the whole country being a bout 8A cents per pound. J The price of tobacco is low Ibis year, the average crop being 5.0 cents per pound on Dember I. This- price is mainly due to the resujt of, an overstock of poor to bacco last year. Tile qualify now on band is generally better and heavier, making a yield per acre more than that of the former sea soil, excepting in Kentucky, where it fell o/f-lightly. The to tal crop of 1878 is estimated ai 393,000.000 pounds (worth $22, 000,000) against 400,000.000 pounds of the year before. The price of potatoes ha* not advanced yet to the relative pro portion thjit price bear- to pfo duclion, ~ YV’itli a identical with that of price is much lower per ■ while the crop is some 4ti,(]B bushels le-s than last yeM total value does not equA of tin- excessive yield of lB product for 1878 being lS 000 bushels, at 57.8 cetn bushel—the lotal vnlttwH $72,000,000.

Acreage in winter Wheat. The acreage in winter whoa ! shows a slight increase over lasi year. The New England Mates, < full' States ami the Matos north of the Ohio River report a larger area, especially Illinois, whore | there is an extensive transfer of this indmtry from spring to fall sowing. The Middle Slates, South i Atlantic States coast States and ! Southern inland states show a (decline. West of the Mississippi, in spite of a considerable increase in Kansas and Nebraska, the ag gregate area has been reduced. On the Pacific coast Oregon re ports a decline of ti per cent. California wheat in the Census report was all returned as spring wheat. It is properly winter sown wheat, as it would he well to designate as fall wheat what is generally called winter wheat east of the Rocky Mountains. The condition of the growing crops, especially for early sowing is not altogether promising, com plaint of injury by the Hessian fly having b-adf! received from different sections. The area in winter rve has fallen off about 1 per <-ent. on the whole. A meeting of agriculturists ill (crested in the establishment of 11 beet-sugar factory in that local ity was recently held at Hamil -1 on. Ontario. It was then and there resolved to organize a coin jinny, and :• committee was aj> pointed to form it provisional company whose business it shall be to obtain all necessary infer mation on the subject of beet sugar, and if necessary inspect fa< lories already in operation arrange for t lit* growth*of san., of beets in various localities, nest H.

H. It is estimated that at tlm* pre sent time not more than one (wed ft It of the arable area of Louisiana adapted to the growth of sugar is devoted to this jmt pose. In 1873 this fctate prod it c ed only 12 percent, of the cane sugar consumed in the United Slate.-, against about 50 per cent the* amount reported for 1850. •Subscribe for the Km.i) anf* I titFsinK. if you desire to pro mote the happiness ol votfr fami ly..
