The True Policy.

AIuc 1OAlCys
Senator Richards, in his remarks before
the Produce Exchange on Tuesday, stated
in brief and plain terms the true bus ness
policy of Dubuque. He said 3:
s. 1t is our true policy to break down ey-
ry artificial obstruction to free trade We
must allow ourrroduce to flow directly to
the best market, III whatever direction that
may be. He would rather see Dubuque
dwlndle into IL mere village, then seek to
make her a great city by hemming in the
interests of the country. Let US demon.
strate that we can buy the produce of the
interior at good prices, and sell to the
country, whatever it may need, at low
rates, and then we shall prove that our in
terests and those Of the great region in the
rear Of us arc Identical"
We commend this as n brief and correct
statement Of the policy that must govern
our business men if they expect to pros.
per. Dubuque is of no value to any one
OF her citizens, unless she is able to con-
troll the trade Of the country west Of her
by a fair competition with other markets !;
and without this she is equally yalueless
to northern Iowa. The only advantages
lesitimately ours are those of location and
business facilities. Let us improve these,
allowing fair competition with all other
markets. The highways of commerce sho'd
be without toll-gates-free for everybody.
We yield the right to bridge the Missis-
sippi river, and in justice to northern To-
wa lend all our aid to give bridge to
those who think eastern markets best for
them. We at the same time demand that
the trads of northern Iowa shall be per-
mitted to come to Dubuque. CT follow
the Mississippi river, if We are able to Of
fer the largest inducements. While We
disclaim any purpose to levy contributions
by obstructing traie with Chicago flowing
through our city, We protest against the
unjust discrimination imposed by rail.
road monopoly to rob the people Of north
ern Iowa of the advantages Of their best
market. and Dubuque Of her legitimate
trade.
This subject interests the people Of Iowa,
without reference to locality. The legisla-
ture is in session, and no effort should be
neglected to secure such legislation as will
forever protect Iowa interests. The rail
road lobby is full and active, and unless
is done Mt once By the people,
they will be left bound for two years more

Civil war Was thus alluded to by Henry
Clay in one Of his noblest Senatorial ef-
toT.s:

ton of being tho humble instrument, in
the hands of Providence, to reconcile
distracted people. once more to revivc

the glorious spectacle Of true, united,
prosperous and traternal peoplel If there
be any who want civil war-who want to
see the blood Of any portion of our coun-
tTymen split, am not one Of them. I
wish to see war Of no kind but above all,
do not desire to see civil war. When
war begins, whether civil or foreign, no
human foresight is competent to ioresee
when. how or where it is to terminate.
But when civil war shall he lighted up
in the bosom of our own happy land, and
armies are marching. and commanders arc
winning their victories, and fleets are in
motion on cur coast--tel me, if you can
tell me, II any human heirg can tell, ita

appeal, the leading Republican paper in
the southern portion Of the State, does mt
like the idea of having Gen. Grant forced
upon the Republican ticket, "withou: a
why or wherefore" and enters tho follow
ing expressive protest. The Madison Re-
gency Journal must look after this lesser
light:
with all respect for his ability as IA
soldier, we can but believe there are others
OF the nation whose craftsmanship is vast
ly superior to Gen. Grants, and too much
heed cannot be had to this qualification in
the man who fills tho highest position of
honor and trust in the gift Of the Ameri-
can people. Chase, Coltax, Sumner, or
Stevens, either it must be admitted, pos.
sesses more of the qualities which 20 to
make up statesman, than does Grant,
and IT representative Of the Republican
party is the object, either Of these or
dozen others are better fitted for tho cam
paign than man like Gen. Grant whose
politics are not radical, to say the least
AS Republican, we should fear to give
into the keeping OF man who persistent
ly holds aloof from its ranks, yet hangs to
its skirts with an indifferent hold, the
sacred principles of the party. That party
it would seem, has been duped enough
heretofore on conservative" men, to fright
them from adopting another whose polit-
cal opinions are not known. Why not
nominate Coliax, who is a fair representa-
tive man of the Republican party? The
Democrats. it i>::evident, will nominate Pen.
dleton, in which theysdisplay greater devo-
tion to principle and less regard for policy
than do the Republicans in nominating
General Grant. With Colfax and Pendle-
ton as opposing candidates, the two parties
would be fairly represented, and tile peo-
pie could decide between their merits
their relative strength and popularity
would be tested. With Grant, no express
sion can be had. He might as we'll be
claimed by one as the other and in his
election no party claims a victory and none
feel a defeat. lie is not a Republican

ENGLISH PooR.-.The London REVIEW

ENGLISH PooR.-Thc London REVIEW
tells this sad story;
"A poor woman drowned herself in the
Thames last week, as the coroncr's jury
found, while in a state Of unsound iaind
through Distress Her husband had for
six months been unable to make more than
six shillings n week, out Of which he had
to pay Is Sd Il week rent, Is Sd for the
loan Of 4 borrow to carry ON his trade of
general dealer, and to support wife
and four children with the remainder.
The wife, who was sucking her youngest
child all this time, did her best to contri-
butte to their resc ources. She made slop
shirts at a penny shirt, and for tte bette.
sort of shirts she used to get I'D, II, and
even I'd. But to earn even this pittance
she had TO furnish her own needle and
thread. For weeks these poor creatures,
who bore the highest character for indus
try and good conduct, would go without
tasting meat; they lived on bread-and
dripping, when they could get it. When
the father had no work they lived on
nothing and the daughter says that her
mother u.ed often to say TO her oh my
Polly, amt it dreadful we have rot moth
ing again to eat oday." These poor peo.
pie never applied to the workhouse.
They thought of doing SO, but relinined,
in the hope, as the husband said to his
wife, that perhaps there will he better
luck another day"

WHOLE No. 594.


~SIaoo A0Ubeos
l have noticed that in German families,
family government is very strict; compar-
cd with the theory and practice in Ameri-
ca ON this subject, l may cay extremely
rigid. Tho rules and regulations are few.
but they are enforced on all occasions, and
under all circumstances. Uneuestioning
submission to parental authority lies at
the foundation Of this government. Chill
dren are taught to entertain the highest
respect for superiors and for age. 1t is
beautiful to see the respectful manner
which they deport themselves in the pres
ence of their superiOrs and older persons.
They are also invariably polite to strang-
ers.
A few weeks ago friend and myself
made an excursion on foot int, the coun-
try, and were surprised at the genuine po-
hteness OF the poor peasants and their
children every peasant and child We met
saiutcd us in the kindest manner possible,
and readily and pleasantly answered all
our questions. Children are early taught
to be industrious and self.reliant. They
are not allowed to call servants to do for
them things which they can easily do for
themselves. Every boy is trained for some
business or profession, and the girls are
trained to make good house keepers and
good wives. In the best families, servants
very seldom wait on the ;ahle--not even
when guests are invited.
l took tea, not long since, at the house
OF a Baroness, with large party, and not
servant was to be seen. The Baroness
made tea, after we were seated 1T the table
with a convenient and elegant apparatus
prepared tor the purpose, and two beauti-
inl young ladies' niece of the baroness
and a friend, passed around the table and
served the guests.
On Il certain occasion, I called on q
wealthy family, and was received ly the
lady of the house, who told me that her
two daughters were in the kitchen cook
Ing. They were to be married soon, and
4 professional cook had been employed to
come three times q week to give them les
sons in the art Of cooking, and so initiate
them fully in all its mysteries. In fye
minutes one OF these young ladies came
into the parlor to see me, neatly dressed,
and conyersed with me i'll beautiful Eng
lish.
A thorough acquaintance with domestic
economy is considered IN indispensable
qualification in young lady for the mar.
ried life. In addition to all this, mothers
teach their daughters that one Of the chief
duties after marriage is to strive to keep
their husbands comfortable and happy
When German husband comes TO his
home, at the close Of the day Of toll or
anxiety, his wife receives him with q smile,
arranges his chair, brings him his study
gown and slippers, places before him re-
tres' 'ments, gives him cigar. and while
he eats and smokes conyerses with him in

events Of the day. What will your lady

We are glad to see tho Clinton Herald
out in opposition to the investing of from
one and half to three millions Of the
peoples money in the erection of 4 State
Capitol building. The present is no time
ior lndulging in expensive and fanciful
buildings, particularly when we have what
ansTers very we'll for the purpose now.
It is not the most beautiful building in
the world it is true, but it is better to use
1t while the people are sweating and
sroaning under the taxes already levied,
than add TO their burthens the sum of
y 500, coo, or any other large sum for the
erection OF new building. 1t is pro-
posed, we believe, to appropriate tho
School Fund TO this purpose, issuing the
bonds Of the State therefor. but we are
utterly opposed to any such use being
made Of that fund We believe it to be
doing muc.i more good as it is now invest
Cd, than j. could if used in any other way.
We say then with the Herald, let the leg
islature give up the expensive scheme and
appropriate their spare money, if they
have any, il some way that will tighten
the bgrdens of their already overloaded
constituents. We vote NO, decidedly, up
on any new State House scheme for this
State, until the people are better able to
contribute the amount Of its cost.-Lyons
