TIE Chicago Tribune thinks that it would be better for Congress to repeal the duty on railroad iron, than to grant any more subsi- dies to railroad companies. Upon this point that paper says;
 This would be equivalent to a donation of Sl ,560 per mile in gold, ,lS4 in curren- cy and it would cost nothing. The Govern ment would lose nothing in revenue, because under existing laws the subsidized railroads are not allowed to buy foreign iron at any price. and would not be allowed to accept it as free gift. We maintain that do,afion g, S4 per mile to railroad is better than ioan of Sl6,00O per mile."
 We agree with the Tribune, but know that so long as Congress is swayed by the manu- featuring States, it dare not repeal the tariff laws, and until that body becomes composed of free trade Democrats, it will do but very little good to talk about abolishing the pres ent odious tariff system.

Novel plan to induce large circulation.
We have been favored with advance sheets OF

that their undertaking will be success, and in
respects satisfactory to the public.
In addition to the attractions of fresh and
interesting monthly, containing articles from
the best authors in this country and Europe, as
the title indicates, the publishers draw upon
the whole world for topics of interest, and offer
as inducements (if such were needed) divi-
dend system of an entirely original character,
in which all their patrons will participate.
This department is under the personal super
vision and exclusive control of Mr.. George G..

LEAP YEAR-The ladies' hereabouts
seem to be thus far perfectly oblivious to the
fact that this is leap year, for they do not seem
to partake OF any of the happy, pleasant and
authoritative privileges which this great period
in the worlds history brings around. People
generally are of the opinion that the women
like to have their own way all the time, and
take the lead in matters; but if theproper res
pect is not paid to the present season by our
ladies hers, and they tail to take charge of
things during 1868, we must opine that they
are an exception to all general rules among
women, and do not crave to be clothed with a
little "brief authority" Perhaps now after all
their negligence to embrace the opportunities
presented to them this year, proceeds from their
over-modesty and things not being as 'they
was" Or perhaps the custom has become
abused in some way, or it is too severe on their
purse strings. Wouldn't it be we'll If they
were always considerate in this last particular
But ne do hope and fervently pray, that the
custom will not become obsolete, for how nice
it is for the "lords Of creation" to have their
wants administered to, at least once in four
years, to say nothing about the comforts gen.
orally man may go into without having them
cost him any money or trouble. We do trust
that the leap year arrangements will be kept
among us, 50 that we men can once in four
years 60 through life without the trouble and
perpl kitty Of entertaining the females.

Stamped Envelopes VS.. Postage Stamps
Posi- OFFICE, WATERFOWL, WIS,
January 10th, 1868.

| January 10th, 1868.
| EDITOR WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN:
me to urge upon the public the more general
| use of Stamped Envelopes in their correspon-
dence through the mails.
| Few people, it is believed, are aware of tie
many failures that occur in the Transmission o.
letters on occount of the neglect of the writers
| to af1i1 postage stamps. Of course every per-
son msiiing letter iatends to have the same
properly stamped, but it frequently occurs that
this is not done, and the consequence is the
letter 10 held for postage and sent to the Dead
Letter Office, unless the writer happens to be
known to US, in which case we supply the
omission and notify him OF his neglect.
Stamps are likewise very often insecurely
placed Upon letters through care,essness, or by
reason of not being properly gummed, and by
this means letters fail to reach their intended
destination. The writer awaits with painful
anxiety an answer, but no reply comes, and
"the rascally post mastery are blamed for what
they are in no wise accountable
| All this difficulty is obviated by the use Of

offered, people are the gamers pecuniarily, as
viii be seen by a glance at the prices for which
envelopes are sold, to wit rs low as $3.50 per
| thousand, exclusive of the postage rate, or
$3.50; and so on at higher rates according to
the quality of paper used. In addition to this
when ordered in quantities of 500 or more, the
department prints thereon, free of cost, BUSH
ness card, not exceeding four lines in length
| including request for the return of the letter
/ to the writer if not called for within given
| time .. --.,e. . -s
| In consideration Of their safety, economy and
convenience, therefore, it is matter OF sur
prise that Stamped Envelopes are not used ex-
c.usi,ely in preference to ordinary stamps !;
and it is confidently hoped that by calling the
attention of people to the subject, they will see
that their interests, in several respects, lie in
that direction. Yours, &C.,
