some of them men who have HERETOFORE
occupied good positions in society, who
are supporting Wells. Almost without
exception they have, or expect. office.

succeed, reflect upon your bargin.
You may get a judgeshir, or clerkship
or conStable's place; but consider hoo
much you will have to pay for it. Are
you willing to forfeit the good opinion
OF all your neighbors for paltry office /?

your children, if not yourself, in order
to get some place worth $500 or 81. 500
or $4,000 year? Would your life.

State-to degrade the very people that
were once your friends-to DESTROY TO-
tally the business of this State-to
make its society more disgusting and
repulsive than that Which prevails i'm

you may get an Office, there is an even
chance that you will and you may make
some money-but you may get alone
also in the world BY stealing monev
from a drawer. or forging draft-bit
surely you would not desire success ON
those terms, unless you are utterly
vile.
And now, triends-for Won are bu-

You cannot afford TO fail. Your treach-

"Cotton" may not be King, as 1t was once
thought it was, but it still exerts most pow
erful influence over trade, commerce and iinan'
ces John Bright, in England, in recent let
ter, says: "a good harvest will tend to restore
health to the general trade Of the country, aud
when we have a sufficient supply of cotton,
Lancashire will recover from her distressed
condition. 1t is more cotton we want, and not
more taxes on imports" The London Times,
however, says:
There was time when the intelligence Of
a good supply of cotton in the Uoited States
would have carried satisfactory assurance to
the manufacturers and wOrkmeu OF Lancashire
The sudden destruction of the old cotton trade
has been attended with the destruction Of the
old conditions Things are no longer as they
We're. Though the cotton supply has come
back again, new fields aud factories have been
opened. some under the shelter OF protection,
and some 10 more natural atmosphere. a
more extensive demand Tor the raw material
raises the price, and that rise depriyes US OF
the condition essential to the superiority we
once maintained.
