Strong and Warden at Potosi

MR. CovER.-At the late meeting
arranged for political discussion be-
tween Hon. NJ. M Strong and Hon.
Allen Warden, Dir. j. W. Seaton and
A. III. Neaville presided. By previ-
GUS arrangement Mr.. Strong opened
occupying ID minutes and simply and
plainly stating what his line of argu>
ment would be in closing, and that
he would confine himself TO the guess
tons thst now agitate the nation, and
that the past history of either party
or it's candidates were no guaranty
for the future.
MIR. Warden in reply, Occupying
one hour and half stated in open
ing, he was glad to have an emporium
ity to meet the people of Potosi and
was of the opinion many here as 9TH
er places he knew of would vote the
Republican ticket who never did be-
fore. He differs with the Hon. gem
tleman as to the past, and thought of
the past we must judge of the future;
he then gave bis History as a Douglas
Democrat and when aud why he left
the party. The war record of the
Democratic party he considered
shaky, and their past history was
such they could not be trusted. The
oft repeated wall Of the Democrats
about violating the Constitution was
treated as a rotten arrangement of
theirs to cover up a multitude of sins.
The Reconstruction act, National
Debt and the good faith of the Re-
publican party was pledged to an
honest payment oft. Closed by call
ing upon all who love their country
to vote for the man who had always
led them to victory, also to give three
cheers for Gen. Grant; every Republics
an rose and responded.
Hon. NJ. Nj. Strong closed by say
ing he had been listening to the gem
tleman and one hour OF his time vas
taken up to try to prove the Demo
cratic party disloyal, which was a
mistake, as he would now show
The speaker dwelt at some length
upon what was the drift OF the plat
form in regard to the Constitution
paying Of the National Debt. faith
with Bondholders &c. Frank Blair's
letter to Col. Broadhead was inter,
Pretated as nor meaning another civil
war The great debt Of the country
was forcibly illustrated. Closed by
saying he did not desire TO get up ar

people and could go home anC

To the Republican Voters Of the Fourth
Assembly District Grant Co., Wis.

| hereby announce myself a can.
didate of tho republican union party,
tor member of the Assembly for this
district. and as such solicit the sup>
port of all true republicans in the
district.
The reasons that have induced me
to take the action above indicated are
that owing to the large majority
which the republican party have in
this district, the contest for office is
not between the two political parties
as it should be, but is altogether in
side of the republican party so much
so that the people have no chance
whatever Of bringing out and voting
for the man of their choice the pri-
mary meetings being all controlled
by wire workers and INSCRIPTIONS
politicians regardless of the wants
and wishes of the people and there's
by working much injury to the par
ty and great injustice to its ihdivid-
ual members. | hold that no man
has right to demand the support OF
his party, but that any man may ask
that support and if he has not SUBJ
mitted his name to the action of q
convention and been by it rejected,
he has a perfect right to ask and re-
ceive the support Of his party for
Office, and on this ground | ask the
support of the party for the office OF
member of the Assembly. AS fur
Their reason for this step, / would say
that | am not a politician nor wire
worker and do not wish to put N.Y.
self in competition with such. Some
time since | was solicited by friends
to allow the use of my name for
that Office and | consented to do so,
| since which time there has sprung
up in all parts of the District and cs.
pecially in Boscobel, numerous as
pirants from which it appears that
tho contest is going to be bitter and
strong, perhaps to the great injury
of the party. For these reasons IN.
dependent of all cliques. and factions,
| announce myself candidate of the
republican party and as such ask
the support and influence of all right
thinking members of the republican
party.

What is Said in Europe.

The gold value of currency at pres,
ent is about sixty nine cents on the
dollar. In Europe it is held, says
the Times, that, !" if Grant is elect ed
and full confidence be created in the
public will and ability to pay all
greenback and bonded obligations at
maturity and in the kind of pay
pledged. gold will swiftly fall and
soon resume it's former par value and
basis as the standard medium of eli r.
culation. 1t is the danger of a de,
structive party getting into power,
headed by Seymour and particularly
Blair, that binders the currency
from equalizing itself at once with
gold and silver, for the American
debt is q small modicum in a
country of such enormous expansive
ness as America"

The Burdens of Tax Payers |!

The Democratic papers and stump
ers are troubled about the burdens OF
the tax payers. Mr.. Seymour advi-
ses that this be made hobby by his
friends. +" Very we'll The more
public attention is drawn to this is
sue the larger will be the Republican
majority.
This issue between the two parties
is broad and distinct. The Demo.
Gratis say the national revenues should
be raised by tax levied equally on
-"every species of property according
to its real value. Their National
Convention adopted the following ::
" Equal taration Of every species OF
property according to its real uatue. IN
GLIDING Government bonds and other
public securities" This means farms,
houses, lots, implements. every
species of property" must be taxed
equally with theincomes, gold watch
es, diamonds, wines and general lux
uries of the wealthy. The Republi>
cans, on the contrary, not only be-
lieve, theoretically, in relieving, but
have actually relieved the mechanic,
the farmer, the laborer. By the ex-
listing revenue system, farms, and
farm products, horses, cattle, mer,.
chandise, implements OF husbandry
aud tools of the mechanic pay no ma
tional taxes. The whole internal
revenue will, it is estimated, be de-
rived almost entirely from the follow.
ing sources:
Every man is allowed to have a
net income of $1,000 exempt from
taxation, aud 3 sum in addition to
pay for taxes, insurance, repair.
and expenses. 1t will be observed,
that not onl Y the poor and men OF
moderate wealth are exempt. but
bnt much Of the wealth of the West
which in lands, is also exempt a.
1t is demonstrable fact that by
levying tax upon incomes, Massa
chusetts and Connecticut pay nearly
twice as much as they would pay il
uniform tax were laid equally up,
on all forms of wealth, while ilinoi.
does not pay quite half as much il
proportion 30 lis actual property

payers, do you prefer?

The Jews and General Grant.

The following is the concluding
portion of speech delivered lately
by Noah Green, leading Israelite Of
Keokuk, Iowa
"Now, on what side do we stand
Shall we array on the side
of equal justice, of peace ana order,
or on the side of war and anarchy ?
1t is not question of persons, mere
ly-Grant or Seymour-it is q ques-
ton of opposite ideas and their necces-
sary consequences. ] address myself
to the intelligent, patriotic Jews, to
whom this country and the cause Of
justice and liberty are dearer than the
qualification of Indignation, however
just. do not ask them to love Grant,
but to love their race to vote for
Grant, not for bis sake, for the tri-
umph of the idea OF justice.
For my part, if man had spit in

could serve liberty and justice, ] would
do it. For what am |, what is Gen.

quences of our actions do not pass

Manufacturing Machinery in the Mar
ket-Rare Chance.

Mr.. ID. Oliver has sold his Touring
mill property at North Andover to
Edward Bownas and James Adkin-
son and his farm to Guy Allen, the
latter late of Canada-retaining only
the woolleh manufacturing machine
~ which he is DESTROYS of putting
up at some suitable place where Tea-
sonabie encouragement may be off,
cred. There has been general no.,
ton that Mr.. Oliver has found the
manufacturing losing business du-
ring the late period of manufactu.
ring adversely, and that he felt
measurably obliged to sell. This
notion is erroneous, as his factory
books show net profit balances IN his
favor of above $5,000-such profits
however being accumulated since
the late improved woollen and cloth
markets. There were times howev.
er when his profit and loss balances
constantly footed up adversely, and
other times when the doubtful col,
umn of figures footed up losses equal
to wearage and breakage. 1t was
the slight improvement in woollens
which Melted for him several thou
sand dollars upon brief run, and
which inspired him with new conf
dence in the manufacturing.
At present Mr.. Oliver has no no
ton of abandoning the business, but
is DESTROYS of putting up bis machine
ry near some village in view of the
conveniences. Hei is therefore look
ing about for suitable sight, wish
ing also to make up stock enter
prise, the citizens to take say half
TO three-fourths of the shares, and his
machinery TO be taken in whole or
part as 50 much capital stock.
We learn that be has several pla-
ces in view, the citizens of which are
offering fair encouragement. 1t is
business which must give consider
able Importance to any place that
lends the required encouragement.
We learn that Bloomington, Bos- |
cobel,and Lancaster are being spoken |
of as places where Mr.. Oliver would |
be pleased to establish himself in the |
business of manufacturing. What
say our citizens?

The Fall Trade.

Our fall trade has thus far been un>
usually active. The country mer-
chants were far from overstocked with
goods, and the crops are abundant.
Our cereals find a ready market in
Liverpool and the Spanish and
French markets will also be open to
our grain, unless, indeed, the revolu
ton interferes in the former case.
The order Of the French Government
opening its ports 20 grain free of ton
mage duly after October next, is given
in consequence Of the want of grain
in France. Last year we sent to
Liverpool 3.817, O82 cwt, of wheat,
out Of 1896, SOB imported for six
months The Baltic and Black Sea
ports of Russia sent 4 1905 cwt.
and that country was, therefore, our
chief rival in breadstuffs. Dantzic
also sent large quantity Of wheat
nearly 1000 600 cwt. \ cwt is ll2
pounds, or two bushels, less eight
pounds, the bushel Of wheat being
sixty pounds. This year we are ship.
ping hay also, it is going so Liverpool
chiefly. though the report is that the
hay is destined for the French army.
The Russian crops being short this |
