exactly $2200oOo00 more than they
were worth under Johnson's Admin
istration. In other words, we have
already added that amount to the vol
ume of the debt, and as the Radical
policy produces its effect in the fur
ther advance of the price of bonds, of
course the burden upon the people
will be proportionately increased.-

WHAT DID OUR SOLDIERS FIGHT
FORe
We had constitutional government
before the war, which we had been
taught to call "a most perfect Union"
The Democratic party had reared it,
maintained it, loved it, and were ready
to fight for it at all times, and under
all circumstances. The Onion, under
Democratic rule was never in danger.
When the Republican party assumed
control in 1860, there was not more
than one-tenth part of the population
south Of Mason and Dixson's Line
who would have voted for secession
at that time, and the war might have
been ayerted without any concession
whatever on the part Of the Govern
ment. There were few Fire Eat
ers" who demanded more, but the
masses of the people only demanded
their constitutional rights. lsaiaae
The state of the country was such
as demanded prompt action on the
part of the administration, and that
action should have been such aslWould
have assured all sections that the con-
stitutional guarantees, both National
and State, would be respected aud
maintained. Abraham Lincoln main-
tanned a stoical indifference with an
occasional hint that nobody was
hurt" During this criminal delay the
/" Fire Eaters" carried the five cotton
States out of the Union, so far as the
acts of those States could accomplish
their wishes. A little honorable di-
plomacy at that time would have con-
fined the rebellion to the cotton States
and closed the controversy in one
year, but Mr.. Lincoln was elected for
purpose, and that purpose has been
accomplished by placing the ballotin
the hands of negroes, with the pros
pective purpose of placing the young
negroes in our schools. ebai
The Democratic party predicted
Just what the Republicans have ac-
complished, for which they were
called all manner of bad names, by
christians, sinners, drunkards, tenn
perance men and women, thieves liars
brothel pimps and every other species
of depraved humanity, of which the
Republican party was composed,
This maxim of good and bad has
worked until there is nothing but tho
bad in sight, and change is taking
place, both in quality and color

Eadieal Love for the soldier.

AS the election approaches, the
Radical press are playing the old
game of claiming that the Republican
party is the friend of the soldier
The following from the Soldiers
Friend, paper published in Chicago
and devoted to the interests of SOL
diers, is to the point:
| Why don't these Journals stand up
for the rights of the soldier, and tell
us that the bill granting 160 acres OF
bounty land to every soldier (without
settlement upon it) was pocketed and
defeated by the committee of which
George w. Julian was chairman
Why don't they tell us that the bill
to give bounty to every soldier dis
charged for disease was pocke.ed and
defeated by the committee of which
John "A. Logan was chairman?
Why don't they tell us that the bill
to give the remaining installments of
bounty to men discharged for promo
tion was poeketed and defeated by
the committee of which John A.
Logan was chairman
Why don't they tell US that the bill
authorizing the accounting officers to
pay the bounties declared to be due
certain soldiers by the Supreme Court
decision was killed by the Republican
Senators ?all 5faH7 lt's
Why don't they tell us that the bill
eqnalizing the bounty of soldiers was
defeated by the Republican Senate?
Why don't they tell us that the bill
to give pensions to the old heroes of
1912, now in poverty, was defeated
by the Republican Senate?
Why don't they tell all this and
then ask their readers to judge for
themselves whether Congress has been
true or false?

"S1NcE the close of Johnson's Ad-
ministration, United States securities
have increased about II per cent. in
value" We find this statement occu-
pying a prominent position in the coll
umns of Radical newspapers, and
made the basis of claim to popular
Endorsement for their party, Accept
ing it as true-and we believe it is
nearly. so-how does this enhance
I,ment of the price of Government
bonds affect the people who are thus
called upon to rejoice at it? If the
debt were to bo paid, as it should be,
| in currenov of equal value with that
in which it was contracted, the tax
paying laborers of the country would
be called upon to pay only about 80
per cent, and in some cases even less
than that proportion, of the face of the
bonds in gold. The Radical majority
in Congress, however, have expressly
repudiated this equitable and honest
principle of payment, and resolved
that the bondholders shall receive a
dollar in coin in exchange for their
paper which only calls for forty or
fifty cents. But, meanwhile, the enor-
NOUS taxes levied upon the industry
and commerce of the country pro-
duce heavy surplus revenue; and
the policy adopted by Mr.. Boutwell,,
aud approved by his party, is to ir.
vest this surplus for Government ac-
count in bonds at the market price,
According to the statement above
quoted, then, the Treasury is COM
PEELED now to pay IL per cent. more
for bonds than they could be bought
for at the date of Grants inaugura-
tlon. This is the fact for which our
Radical friends are now claiming
credit; and if the entire amount OF
outstanding bonds-say $4,000. .0OQ, 900

RR1eHAm YoUNa.s HAKEM.


The rooms of the women are very
much alike, and furnished nearly
alike. They are plain but comfortable
The women live in them precisely as
people do at hotel. Each woman
has her own key, and when she goes
out she locks her door. There is little
visiting back and forth and the wo-
men behave very much as guests dc
at first class hotel. Every morning
and evening at the ringing of the bell
the inmates of the harem meet in the
great parIor to attend prayers. They
sing lynn, and old Young prays
ferventiy. Tho prophet used to eat
at the harem with his wives, but he
seldom does so now. In the morning
on rising, each woman puts her room
in order, and. if she has children,
dresses them for breakfast. After
prayers theyall go to breakfast, the
women with children sitting at little
family tables, and those without chill
dren at the common table. The same
food is given to all, and the bill OF
fare is by no means poor one. Brig
ham from time to time, designates
some of his wives to take charge OF
the cooking, and they remain on duty
until relieved !; during the day the
women walk out, sew, sing, play the
piano in the parlor or walk out with
the children. Most Of them spin,
make cloth and color it. They are
very proud of their cloth embroidery.
In the evening all hands go to the
theatre, where every one of Brigham's 8
wives has a reserved seat. 1t is said
that Yonpg literally supplies his
wives with, money, and on fine days
they go out shopping He employs a
mnsic teacher, French teacher, and
dancing teacher for the use of his
household. Brigham's women are
well dressed, but still they have to
work hard and he keeps up whole
some discipline over them.
ALL SORTS OF MEN.-There is a
great difference in men. Some are as
true hearted and unsuspicious as
Newfoundland dogs; others are like
rat terriers, always nosIng around un-
der the impression that there is some
thing going onthat they don't under
stand. Some are very noble and gen.
erous, others thoroughly mean and
contemplate. Some are modest,
others overrun with vanity and ego
tism. Some are invariably kind and
considerate; others go about with
their eyes shut, in utter ignorance of
the trouble they are giving by their
.carelessness. Some are slow and
steady, and to be depended upon
others quite brilliant and unreliable.
Some have a taste for detail and attend
to all the manuti@ of subject while
others care only for great principle,
and require thing to be gigantic be-
fore it arrests their attention. Men of
genius are always uncomfortable to
live with. Absorbed with one SUBJ
ject, they ignore trifies, and trifes
make up the comfort and discomfort
of life. Men have talent for different
things, and some have the talent for
being good husbands 1t was proba-
bly, neglect and annoyance that made
Xantippe shrew. Thefounder of Sto-
les could not be expected to sympathize
with the trials of housekeeping. Me-
diocracy is the best suited to matri-
mony. One never wants to be too
close to a brilliant light.

tuality, accuracy, steadiness and dis
