Asragarianism and Demagoguery

AEragarianism and Demagoguery.
From the Providence Journal.
We wonder if it ever occurred to the
men who, never having earned days
wages with their own hands, and GER
tainly never with their brains, run about
the country, talking nonsense at work
ingmeD'S S conventions and labor leagues,
what would be their condition if values
represented only the actual labor of the
men who held them, IL all property,
which is the accumulation oflabor, were
confiscated, as soon as it passed into the
hands of men who did not earn it. To
destroy the rights ofproperty, to prevent
q man from enjoying his own earnings
and giving his earnings to his children,
whether other people thought them en-
titled to the bequest or not, would be'the
shortest direct cut to barbarism that the
folly of man could devise; but long be-
fore that rapid descent could be made,
all of this class of lecturers would have
starved. The only thing in their pro-
gramme which appears like looking out
fof themselves is the point that they
make against brain work being accepted
as labor. They seem TO know what little
chance they would have in that line.
The men who have risen to wealth
under our free institutions, are more
largely from the working class than from
any other. Men ride in their coaches,
who, in their youth, welded tie ham
mer and the axe. In the discipline OF
| poverty they Injured themselves TO the
| habits and the sacrifices that lead to
wealth. In no other country is so larae
a share of the property in the hands OF
the men who earned it. Their children
are too apt to squander it and it passes
into the hands of those who begin as
| their fathers did. 1t is by working, not
by talking, that men accumulate prop
erty. Law. protects property, but labor
creates it. There is no more nischievous
enemy ofthe working men than he who
persuades them that there is any road to
wealth but by patient industry and
| economy. That is the way by which
other men became rich and it is by the
neglect of this that rich men grow poor.
There is no danger that such ser seless
theories as have been prepounded by
these gassy speakers will produce any
considerable effect upon the working
men of the country. Any one who has
the sense to WELD an implement oflabor
knows the folly of such talk. The work
ing men of America, educated in our
free schools, reading the newspapers.
familiarizing themselves with political
discussions, and taking the active part
j which is their right and their duty, in
public affairs, have too much good sense
and too much cultivation to be caught
by the crude and fiimsy gable OF DEM
agogues who wish to rise to power on
their shoulders.

income returns of last year shall have a
thorough oyerhauling. 10 this end Off
GERS have been detailed to do special
duty, and are now at work in the lead
ing cities of the country. Their advent
in New York city is creating quite sem
sation among those who have learned
how to live in brown stone houses and
keep handsome equipages without pos
sessing any income.
The New York Sun says, by authority
| that the Twiggs swords, for which Gen
eral Butler has teen sued by IL young
woman who is not a niece of General
TWiggs, We're, in 1862, sent 10 officers Of
the United States, and are now in the
Treasury. The silver plate mentioned
as appropriated by General Butler, was
turned over to the Quartermaster and
sold under General Banks administra-
ftion, and the money has gone into the
Treasury of the United States. General
Butler was appliedt to Use his influence TO
have Twiggs swords returned. and was
told that he would he sued if he did not.
He refused to Interfere Ths suit i.
brought and published for political ef-
feet. The whole story in regard 10 the
swords is told in Parton's New Orleans, ,

ware were found under the II of house
occupied by this woman, who was as
serted at the time to be Twiggs' mistress.

We have talked up the raising of
animals, grains, fruits, hedges and
trees, but we have not talked enough
about manufacturing. These other
interests above mentioned have got a
good start, and are going on prosper
ously. But there is not scarcely any
branch OF manufacturing that is up to
our wants. Immense numbers OF plCws
wagons, reapers, mowers, threshers,
and the thousands OF smaller articles,
are annually brought into our State,
on which millions of dollars are paid
ont, not only for the first cost OF the
articles, but | suppose more than one
million OF dollars is added to the cost
IN transportation. Again. the number
OF persons employed in the manuiac-
ture OF these articles, is very great,
probably halt million, and half OF
whom ought to live in Iowa, do their
work here, employ 10000 house JON
ers to build houses for them; eat our
bread and fruit; help to support our
schools, churches, cities, counties and
State; be raising up governors, sena
tors, representatives, and judges; join
with our farmers in the beehive of
ten million of industrious inhabitants
soon to be in Iowa, and the sooner
the better. The pressing want OF
Iowa to-day, is these mechanics. |

Prochaska, the eminent physiologlst,
used to mention in one of his lectures
how, travelling i'll Bavaria, he put up
at a small inn at Tetschen Brod, where,
being weather bound, he passed his
days in writing Not liking the
meager accommodation of a little Will
age inn, he begged that at least they
would provide him with comfortable
arm chair. After some delay large,
high-backed, old leathern throne was
placed in his room, with many injunc-
tions to treat it carefully. He wei
coined the annexation with delight,
and at once proceeded to avail himself
of its comfort. Scarcely, however,
had lie been seated IN it halt an hour,
when he was seized with violent
pain in the back OF the neck, which
extended gradually down the spine
These pains left him after he went to
bed, and returned when he resumed
his place in the chair next morning.
Sometimes they came spasmodlcally,
and forced him to cry out, sometimes
they began slightly and increased in
severity, gradually engaging one
nervous center after another and caus-
ing intense suffering. But all the
symptoms would slowly subside on re-
moval from the chair, instantaneously
returning when he went back to it
There was scarcely form OF neuralgia
he did not experience. The facial
nerves were constantly the scat OF sut-
iering, and his scia,ic agonies We're ter
rible He examined the chair care
fully and thoroughly. He ripped
open the leather covering, and he in
yestigated the hair stutfing beneath.
He tested the varnish ON the wood,
and, in fact, left nothing undone that
might throw lieht on the curious in
tiuerce Of evil tins antique piece Of
furniture possessed, but to no purpose.
Nothing came OF all his perquisition,
and he was driven to seek If the histo-
ty OF the chair could afford any ex-
planation of these rhenomina. To his
amazement he learned that his land
lady had borrowed the chair from a
doctor in the village. He had used it
for years in his study, and in Il some
hundreds Of patients had undergone
the various operations Of surgery
The wellworn arms, showing where
agonized hands had grasped conynl
sively, the patched leather attested the
violence which had attended these
struggles II bought the vicious old
seat, and had 1t hacked up before my

Autumn Days.

Oh, Autumn days fair Autumn days!
When far-of hills, through ,hinnest haze,
An azure veil, as softly gleam
As glimpses in blessed dream
OF those bright hills of living green,
Ger deaths dark river dimly seen.
Oh. golden sun of autumn days,
Bathed in thy mellow softened rays,
How fair the lovely landscape lies,
O'er>arched by cloud cnamecd skies,
Whose gauzy robes of misty gold
The richly glowing earth enfold.
As bright winged birds 60 flashing by,
So autumn days, too, swiftly fly;
Could we detain them in their flight
And bask forever in their light,
No dream of heavens cloudless day
Could ever tempt our souls away.
On grassy knobs, long hours lie,
While soft south winds float idly by,
And, half asleep dream wondrous dreams,
Til like enchanted land it seems;
Or, like some faIoff southern cline
In all the pomp Of summer time.
Bright autumn days to us are given
As symbols of our home in heaven;
The gates one moment thrown ajar
While light and glory flash afar,
Tile earth seems fit for Gods bright throne
it'll sin and sorrow here unknown.

Why don't you take the papers,
They're the life of our delight;
Except about election time,
And then | read for spite
Subscribe, you cannot lose a cent,
Why should you be afraid!
For cash thus paid is msney lent
AT interest iour>fold paid.
Go then, and take the papers,
And pay to-day, nor pay delay,
And my word for it is inferred,
You'll live until you're gray.
An old neighbor Of mine,
While dying with cough,
Desired TO hear the latest news
While he was going off.

Ofsome new pills in force;

No hearty as horse.
knew two men, rs much alike
Aseer You saw two stumps,
And no phrenologist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the paper, and his life
Is happier than Kings.
His children can read and write
And talk of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strolling through the wood,
a tree fell down and broke his crown,
And killed him-"very good
Had he been reading of the news,
At home, like neighbor Jim,
I'll bet a cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers?
Nor from the printers sneak,
Because you borrow from his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the papers,
And pays his bill when due;
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer TOO.
