SENATOR WILSON, of Massachusetts,
has lately been making speeches in fay
or of sundry measures to better the con-
dition of common laborers. He is
careful to represent the ruling party as
one devoted to the interests of working
men.
It may be possible that Senator Will
son believes this but, ifhe does believe
it, he is blind to the effect Of Legislation
for which he is in no small degree re-
sponsible. All of the financial policies
Of the government are now in favor of
capitalists and monopolists, and against
the poor men and common laborers.
Senator Wilson is in favor of the pre-
sent tariff laws, and they are of a char
acter which nearly doubles the cost OF
living to every poor man in the country
Their effect in this has been clearly
shown by Mr.. Wells, special commits
sioner of the revenue. BY statistics
gathered from every part of the country
he has proven that, in consequence
mainly, of the high tariff, the prices Of
rents, provisions, fuel, clothing, and
other necessities Of family have in
creased, since 1861, much faster il
proportion, than the prices Of labor
Senator Wilson will do well to consider
these facts, and rcpudiate the "protect
i've policy" of his party before h'
appears as the champion Of laborins
| men.

I.inp1Or Law.

AIYuoI
The Dubuque Daily Herald, of the 10TH
in referring to the action of the late Dem.
State Convention says as follows. We
quote only the gist of its article. All
know the Herald is right: Experience
should be the best kind of school
master, but it teaches such men nothing.
Iowa has had prohibitory liquor law for
twelve years, enacted by the radical party
for political purposes, and what has been
the result? 1t has demonstrated certain
facts, which we defy any prohibitory man
to deny:
l. The law is a ded letter in large
portion of the State. especially in the
thickly populated counties, and no effort
whatever is made to enforce it.
.. Prohibition has not scnsibly dimin>
ished the use Of liquor nor stopped the
traffic.
8. The prohibition of it's sale has mer-
ely changed the manner of using it, it 60
ing to clubs and private houses instead OF
over the bar.
H. The law has not reformed ono
drunkard, nor has it prevented men from
obtaining it who were bound to have it.
This is the prohibitory liquor law in
Iowa. 1t is complete failure, and its
friends if they had wisdom would realize
the fact. On the other hand, a judiclous
license law will do for temperance many
things that prohibitory law cannot do
II can be enforced, and that cannot be said
Of the other.

H. J. II on d.

II. J. Raymond.
At the funeral of the eminent editor of
the N. Y. Times, II. Ward Beecher deiv-
cred beautiful address : not in fulsome
nattery toward the dead, but truthful and
yet not severe. We copy his allusion to
the press and to the manly style of editor
ial conduct which distinguished Mr..
Raymond. Would that all editors had the
ability to be gentlemen, such as Mr..
Beecher describes the late Mr.. Raymond.
There are two things which l wish to
emphasize of his public career, and only
two. lie stood on the widest pulpit that
now is known in modern society. The
lawyer has a narrow sphere before him /;
the Senator and the Representative-the
walls hedge in their voices the minister
has his parish walls about his church.
But there is pulpit that now has no linn
tit is the Press. There is, literally, the
voice of one that cries in the wilderness !;
for all across the populous land, out into
the Territories, and to the very Pacific
Ocean, the daily papers speak ; and there
is not, in modern civilization, place of
power that can compare with this. And
among those that have been the builders
up of this great modern engine of civiilza-
ton, not the founders but the finishers,
he stood the most pre-eminent. Aside
from the general ability with which he
conducted the Press, l marked how singu-
lary free his whole career has been from
bitterness how he refused to gain
strength from the advocacy of the passions;
how he neither used the malign passions
himself, FOR excited them in others. But,
rising to a higher moral sentiment, breath
ed it in his work, and addressed those
higher feelings in those to whom he
uttered himself. Now he has departed.
Look back upon his career. If he welded
this mighty engine in behalf of good
reason, aud in behalf of pure moral SEN
timents, it covers multitude of imper-
fectons. And this work he did. And
this is no small praise.

There is no mistake about it, Plantation
BHterS will ward off Fever and Ague and
all kindred diseases, if used in time. No
family need suffer from this distressing
complaint if they will keep Plantation
Bitters in the house, and use it according
to directions. The most important ingre-
dent of this medicine is Calisaya or Pc
ruvian Bark, which is known to be the
finest and purest tonic in the vegetable
kingdom. The extract of this Bark is the
active principle of all the good Fever and
Ague Medicines prescribed by intelligent
doctors. Calisaya Bark is used exten-
sively in the manufacture Of Plantation
Bitcrs, as well as qunine, and we dare
say they owe their pupu lar'ty mostly te
that fact. We can recommend them.

MONoNA. July l3ttl, low.
EDS. TIMES The North Iowa Medical
Society saw fit to expel me, for a ''gross
violation of the code of Medical Ethics.'
OF their action in that particular, l did
not then, nor do now, complain. But
in the published report of their proceed>
ines, they stated a reason for such
expulsion that was not only unintelligible
to any one outside of the Society, but
intentionally couchcd it in language that
would carry the idea that the charge
preferred against me was Of an infamous
or criminal nature. This thought unfair,
and | knew Of no other way to remove
the false impression, than by stating the
reason Of my expulsion, through the
press. This l did and in SO doing, |

unpleasant personalities said nothing
but the truth, and in rs brief a manner as
the circumstances would admit of. "One"
J. r. Ii. Scott, it seems, has taken up the
glove that was cast at the feet of no one
in particular; and attempts to justify the
action Of tho Society, by abusing me. He
writes an article Of almost columns
length, stating, nearly at the first, that
was not expelled for advertising, but STILL
| in his whole article, he states no other
reason, but finds great deal Of fault with
the hand-bill itself, and thus abortively

a side issue OF his own making, but news
