STAY ON THE FARM.-The cities
and villages are already overcrowded,
and every kind of business languishes
more than the cultivation Oft earth.
In the cities the labor market is over
stocked, and one can get any desired
number of hands for any conceivable
job Clerks from the country have
usually to serve two or three years
before they can get living wages
The city throngs with unemployed
men and woman, waiting for some
thing to turn up. Those who find
employment have no security for
permanence. Mechanics lose their
places, and have to lie idle for weeks
and months together. All the pro-
ducts of skill and labor are relatively
cheaper than provisions and bread
stnffs.
The great mat erial want OF the ma
ton is cheaper meats, grain and
vegetables. Wehave merchants, and
middlemen enough, but far too few
farmers. The best cultivated State
abou nds in uncultivated lands. Even
in the vicinity ofour large towns and
cities, cheap lands abound, and splen~
did chances for enterprising young
men to win homes and fortune
Once settled upon his own acres, the
farmer has constant, profitable
occupation before him. Nowhere is
unsllillcd labor so sure ofsustenan ce.
nowhere will intelligent industry SO
surely win 4 happy home and COM
petence. In the country one never
meek to lack labor, and labor brings
there the necessaries and comforts of
life.-American AqricmLturist

neA-A recent writer states that q
good supply OF apples will be found
the most economical arrangement in
the whole range of culinaries. A
raw, mellow apple is digested in an
hour and half, while boiled cabbages
require five hours. The most healty-
full desert that can be placed upon
the table is baked apple. IF eaten
frequently at breakfast apples have
an admirable effect upon the system,
and will often prevent the need Of
medicine. If families could be in
duced to substitute sound, ripe apples
tor the unwholesome pastry and cake
with which children are too often
stuffed there would be o surprising
dlminuton in the sum total of doctors
bills. Spring is not the best time, OF
course, to lay in supply of apples
but it IS the proper time for the Gull
tivators of fruit, and farmers in gene.
raj, to give needful attention to their
orchards, so that there may be an
abundant supply ofapples next fall.

HARD UP.

The republicans at Argos, last Satur-
day, appeared to have on hand better
stock of impudence than of "stamps,' y
from the fact that they asked several
prominent democrats to help them pay for
their band. A set of men with no more
spirit than that are not to be feared They
do not possess sufficient manliness to exert
any influence. They probably made the
application, believing that Mr.. Tyners
speech did the democracy more good than
y did their cause, which we are inclined
10 believe is the use.

WE call attention to the extract pub
lished on our first page to-day, from the
speech of Gov. Morton, delivered at Rich
mond, Ind, September 20, 1865. Let the
reader compare the arguments made in
that speech (Which, by the way, was one
of Governor Morton's best efforts) with
the arguments which he and his party
now make in favor of universal and in
discriminate negro equality. The argu-
ments in that speech against negro suf-
fragc in the southern states, are unanswer-
able by any man who takes the position
which the speaker aud his party now take
on that subject. Governor Morton is one
of the bright and shining lights III the
brilliant constellation of black republican,
ism, and is by far the ablest man they
have in this state. But he is o consum-
mate demagoeue, and in three years from
this time will be as far in advance of his
present position as he is now in advance
of his position three years ago.

GEN. KIMBALL, radical candidate for
treasurer Of state, addressed a good-sized
crowd, composed about equally of radicals
and democrats, in this place last Saturday
evening. Democrats were invited to at
tend, and they attended, and listened re-
spectfully to what the general had to say.
About three fourths of his speech wa, de-
voted to tissues which have long since been
decided, and was about as entertaining as
a last years almanac. After lodging the
live issues as long as his ingenuity would
enable him to, he came to speak of the
public debt, taxation, ETC. lie made the
statement, ard repeated it, that poor men
pay no government tax; that the internal
revenue is paid by business men, and men
Of wealth. In support of this assertion
he stated that the manufacturer of railroad
cars, FOX instance, was taxed on his iron
on his tools, and on everything used in
the manufacture of cars,-was taxed on
his income besides yet the mechanics who
done his work were not taxed. This is 0
fair specimen of his whole argument on
this question Of taxation We refer to il
for the purpose of EXP osing Its utter fallacy
and falsity. The speaker knew that the
mechanics who do the car manufacture
er's work pay tariff duty on everything
they buy to live upon, and that in proper.
ton as the manufacturer is taxed, are
their wages reduced. When a manufac.
turer is taxed, he increases the price Of
his manufactures. and reduces the price Of
labor, to such an extent that his tax will
cost him nothing at ALL The manufacture
er pays no tax but the producer and con.
sumner pay it all. 1t is an insult to the
laboring people to tell them they pay nc
tax. They pay tax ON every yard Of
calico or muslin on every pair of shoes
every pound of tea. coffee, sugar or to5ac
CO they buy; and when radical speaker:
add insult to injury by telling the laborins
people that they pay no tax, they lie low
down in their threats Other matters con
nected with the speech of General Kim
ball are treated OF in another column b.
. Fairplay."

WEsTERVHLr Il johnson continue to
peddls Their falsehoods and misrepresenta-
tons through this county concerning the
management of the county finances. Why
do they not take the annual exhibit of the
auditor. (Which is not like Fu,ler's used to
be, but foots up right, and proves every
way and dissect it? 1t gives true and
complete account of all the funds that
have been paid into the treasury, and for
what purpose they were paid out. To read
that exhibit in a manner that it could be
understood, (this we would not ask oil
j Johnson would be more instructive and
satisfactory to honest, sensible men,
than for them to undertake to show up the
matter in the manner they do.
In short, when any man or speaker says
or insinuatcs that there is anything unlaw-
full or dishonest going on in connection
with the management Of the affairs OF
this county, he tells a falsehood, and all
any honest man wants TO do, to be satisfied
that such is the case, is to 90 and search
the records of the county, which are at al
times open for inspection.

IN III OLfIIO-f LIE v ALLIED.
Mr.. Jasper Packard, republican candi-
date for congressman, has been speaking
in the rural districts. He claims to be
fit man TO represent the people in congress;
that is, that he is a gentleman and stotes-
man. He tells in his speeches that ne
gro delegate presented himself at the New
York convention, and that G.. H. Reeve, rs
one Of the committee on credentials, voted
for his admission to a seat We wish to
say for the benefit of his friends and him
self, that the statement is false in every
particular, ard he kncsg i 10 be 50 'rhea he
md,7c t. Mr. Reeve is not candidate
for office and Packard don't want any
loads to carry, but if he wants his affairs
ventilated, or wants the history of his con-
duct while in the service written, if he
wants the people to know whose property
lie has and where 1t came from, and how
much (?) ne paid for it, if he wants to be
visited by gentlemen and ladies from the
southern states either in person or by let-
ter, in short, If he wants it to be known
that he can do Other Min7s (as well as to
lie ded6eratsly) that are further down the
scale of moral turpitudc, let him keep on
for If he does, and Mr.. Reeve sees fit to
follow him, Packard will pray for some
one to +" ather him with GqHe fortis and
shave him with lightning" to ease the
pain of the haylng he will receive daily
by that gentleman. If Mr.. Packard can
not find argument enough without lying
about his neighbors and acquaintance, he
had better withdraw and let some one take
his place who can. If he can fid such
argument he had best use it, or he viii

In referring to the courthouse fund the
Republican, of last week, saws, "It may
" be secured, but we think it very doubt
&c full, and lift is ever all recovered to the
" county the people will indeed be fcrtu-
nate" The above is about as contempt
IDLE and cowardly an insinuation as we
have met with for some time. Unless the
author is knaye he must be an idiot. II
he knows anything about the matter he
knocs the fund is amply secured. If he
knows nothing about it he is a knave to
say he thinks it very doubtful that the
fund is secured.
We do not refer to this matter for the
purpose Of defending the course Of the
commissioners, for that is entirely unne-
cessary, as every honest, sensible man APP
proves their action relative to this fund
and the radicals are merely attempting to
create false side-issues for the purpose Of
drawing off our fire from their rotten, sink
ing ship, and we are not so silly as to bite
at SO bare hook; but VIC simply quote
the above as model of mendacity, and a
specimen, too, we must say We did not
look for under any administration but that
Of hattingly. We would advise our
friends Of the Republican to avoid as much

But error cannot eternally triumph over
truth. The signs of the times indicate a
return of many who went astray after false
teachings. The time has pass ed, We hope,
when the people will receive political
statements emanating from the pulpit, for
truth, without investigation.
