GurrA PRecuA RooriSG, Erc-We refer
| 10 the advertisement Of j L. ldeson & Co.,
Chicago, IN another column. That the ar
ticles advertised nrc placed before the peo-
pie OF the Northwest by this old and perfect
ly reliable house, is . sufficient guaranty
for their high merit; FOR il must be evident
to every one that j. 3. .deson & Go. would
not risk their enviable reputation by offer
ing the public any class of goods they were
not prepared to warrant. We recommend
our house owners and builders to give the
Gutta Percha Roofing, Gutta rcrcha c.

pains to Introduce these goods.

QUESTIONS. Gdsetts man gives us the
following questions, which We answer as
follows
"Is the South snbjugated ~
Yes; and the local editor Of the DEMOCRAT
helped do it.
"When would it have been il every able
bodied man in Iowa had staid at home, az
the DExocRAr. advised in January, 1868 r.
If every able c-bodicd man in Iowa had
slain as many rebels as the Gazette man,
the Red, White and Red would now have
been floating over Davenport.
"Are Rreenbacks worthless? y"
Judging by the rapid manner in which
the Gazette man secures his $4,000 post
office salary, they arc not.
Docs the DExocaAr 'repudiats' al Gov
ernment money a. il urged its readers TO do
in 1868 :"
The present editors of tho DENocRA1
never urged such reputation, and tho t}d'
sette man i an s'iniamous liar" If he says
they did.
''Is government money still without tan
gibls security p"
