The business was established in
1858 by Mr. Anderson. 1t was then
q comparatively email affair, using the
building now occupied by the oil mill.
From the outset the business was very
successful, proving very profitable
during the war, and In 1865 the pres.
ent mill was built. 1t is a fine brick
structure, specially designed for this
purpose. The main building is 40x8C
feet, three stories There is also an
office 24x40, dye-house 20x50, and 9
boiler house 1896, as well as large

Judicial Convention.

The Republican Convention held in
pursuance to notice, at Blairstown,
Thursday, 18th inst, concluded its Ia
bors by nominating for Judge OF this
Circuit man whose name had not
been previously used in connection
with the position at albion. John

johnson in l.. Robinson and Cedar In
$. Yates. Among 80 many candidates
the balloting proceeded throughout
the day and until an evening session
was reached with little material change
and without approaching q choice.
After the one hundredth ballot the
name Of John Mexican, Of Jones, was
brought out, and upon the 18th ballot
he was nominated, receiving 10 votes
from Cedar, 8 from Jones, 10 from
Linn and 81 from Johnson.
While the success of our own candi-
date, Judge Yates, would OF course
been most pleasing to US, we are much
gratified that the nomination which 1t
appeared he could not have WAS given
to one whom we can 30 readily and
cordially support. With regard to Mr..
McKean's qualifications for the posi-
ton there can be no question a. to the
fitness of the choice, and 1t is happily
true that his long record in various
positions in public life has only In.
creased his popularity and improved
his reputation for sound judgment and
uncompromising integrity.

/" Honest Horace. !,

We published week ago the spe-
cific charge made by the Binghamton
IN. W Republican to the effect that
Horace Greeley entered into deliber-
ate conspiracy last fall with democratic
leaders to bolt from the Republicans
and bring with him what strength he
could. provided he should be made the
candidate Of the Democratic party for
President. The Republican now has
published the correspondence between
Greeley, Seymour and Carmichael. to-
gether with affidsvits showing that
the conspiracy began as Gar back as last
September. 1t will be remembered
that it was about this time that the
New York Tribune experienced sud
denly serious doubts as to Gen. Grants
competency to fill the Presidential
office; and this shameful treachery
and dishonor, now fastened upon
Honest Horace" beyond question,
will not only account for the devious
course of the Tribune, at the time
deemed SO strange, and for many other
queer developments, including the un-
expected choice of the Cincinnati Con-
vention, but 1t will also serve to dis.
gust alike honest men Of all parties.
It strips from "the great and good Mr..
Greeley" every claim aud title to
common honesty, and brings him be-
fore the two great political parties as q
cheat and swindle upon both.

Really Hard Times.

One of our subscribers living at Dix,
Illinois, says that he has heard and
read great deal about hard times in
these days. but AYERS that they do not
compare with the times of twenty-five
years ago. He gives the following
incident as proof Of his assertion:
I'm Jefferson county. in this State,
Mr.. Coly Babcock, In lsl5, wishing to
purchase two pairs Of shoes, went to
his country store. and found that the
keeper had the shoes he desired; one
pair at 80 cents, the other at IS cents.
This was considered an exorbitant
price, which he declined to pay, but
would go to st. Louis, the head mar
ket.) This was distant so miles from
his residence, but he shouldered his
rifle. put some corn dodger" and salt
in his shot bag, and started on foot
killing birds for meat, and lying at
night by camp fires Of marketers,
which were plenty 1t that time.
Arriving at the Mississippi 1t Illinois
town, NOV East st. Louis he found
that it would cost him five cents to
cross the river. He vas mortified 10
find that he would then be obliged to
break In upon his shoe money, but
succumbed ut last, went over TO the
city and made his purchase Of two
pairs ofshoes ct cost Of 40 and 60
cents. On returning home, he found
he had cleared GO cents, less the fer.
rage, by his trip.
walking eighty miles to save this
amount may look absurd, but dollars
were scarce, markets distant, the laud
covered with forests, labor without
demand, and pork worth one dollar
and fifty cents per hundred pounds. F"

Judge Yates.

The defeat Of Judge Yates in the
Judicial Convention was not unex-
pected to the most ardent of his
friends. The consolidation Of the
three counties formerly in this Circuit
with four others, and the fact that
only Cedar and Jones Of the seven
counties thus thrown together belong
to this Congressional District, were
both favorable to the claims of other
localities. In view of the fact that
Judge Yates had served but one term,
and that without the increase Of salary
given to all judges elected later than
he, and Of his known careful and
thorough preparation for the discharge
of his duties, it was hoped that re-
nomination might be secured. One
thing is certain, no candidate before
the Convention had the more undi-
vided and earnest support Of his own
county than Judge Yates, and 1t must
be no little satisfaction to him to know
that every member Of the bar, and in.
deed all who showed the least interest
in the matter, in this county, where
he is best known, honestly, earnestly,
and pertinaciously advocated his re-
nomination-as witnessed by the one
hundred consecutive votes cast for him
in convention,

A Judicial Decision Affecting the
Legality Of the Stock Act.

Judge Benson hrs just rendered .
very important decision upon the
" stock act,n which puts the constitu-
tionality OF that Law In question. At
the last terr. of the Circuit Court In
Scott county, the case OF Adams w.
Atkinson was presented to the court,
in motion to dismiss the prOCoed-
ings. Some of the defendants cattle
were taken up by plaintiff, under the
act of 1870, (chap. 26l prohibiting stock
from running at large. PLAINTIFFS
damages were assessed, under the act
by the township trustees, and defend
ant appealed TO the Circuit Court,
where the motion was made to dismiss
the proceedings on the ground that the
act of the Legislature was unc0nstitu-
tional, In that It submitted the Ques-
ton of the adoption of the question to
the people Of the several counties.
The question was argued, and Judge
Benson took IL under advisement. He
has announced his decision, declaring
| the act to be unconstitutional, and dis
missed the case.
The court in this case no doubt fol-
lowed the doctrine laid down by the
Supreme Court in this State in the
case of the State of Iowa vs.. Wiser,
appealed from the District Court OF
Cerro Gordo county, wherein the court
held: 1.-The General Assembly can
not legally submit to the people
| whether an act shall become q law or
not, the people having no power In
their primary or individual capacity to
| make laws. They must do this by
their representatives" The act under
| which this decision was had, was one
| making it unlawful to sell ale or beer
| in counties adopting the provisions OF
| the act by vote of the people
We see no reason why the stock act
| and the act TO vote aid to railroads,
and oil other acts which have to be
submitted to the people before they
become operative, do not come within
the doctrine laid down by the Supreme
| Court in the case of the State vs.. Weir.

Crop Toms.

The Fl Dodge Messenger says the
corn crop bids fair to equal last year.
The Times estimates the barley
crop Of Marshall county at ffom % to
40 bushels per acre.
In Marshall county the Reps6licds
says oil kinds of grain look unusually
well.
Hardin county has the promise Of
rousing crops. The Steamboat Rock
Ners says the barley and carly wheat
are being harvested.
In Linn county harvest will COM
mence in earnest this week. Barley
and rye have already been cut, and
the Republican says the harvest is
abundant.
In Page county, people generally
are busily engaged in harvesting, and
every one that the Herald meets is
Dragging about the quality of 1872
wheat.
The harvesting of spring wheat has
begun in Pottawattamie county, and
the Nonpdrei! says work will begin
all along the line on Monday, the 22d
inst.
The crop reports from all parts OF
the State are good. Barley and rye
are about harvested. Wheat harvest
ing has commenced in all portions Of
Southern and Central Iowa.
The Northern VindicdtOr states
that there was never known q more
heavy crop of grass than the prairies
and meadows Of that county present
this year. The luxuriance Of it will
bear out the character which has been
given to Emmett county-that Of being
one of the best stock-raising regions
of the West.
The Sioux City Journal states that
crops are looking finely in Woodbury.
county. Oats are lodged to some
extent. but wheat generally stands
well. No rust Of consequence. The
wheat harvest is just commencing.
The farmers are paying $500 day
for harvest hands.
Farmers in Clarke county are now
in the midst of wheat and barley
harvesting, and report more than and

idly making up for lost time this
this weather, and will no doubt be as

reports gathered by the Osceola Re-

Our Banking System.

Before the war we had no banking
system that could be relied upon.
Our State banks were insecure-in
some sections worthless. Hundreds
Of men have been ruined by the failure
Of these banks. There was no reliable
security for deposits or circulation to
rest upon. The bills OF one State were
looked upon with suspicion by the
people Of other States. In some States,
State bank money issued outside of
their own limits could not be psssed
except on heavy discount. Every
business man was forced to have q
note detector at his elbow, and, even
with this protection, counterfeit or
broken bank notes would be imposed
upon him.
The adoption Of our present national
bank system gave to the people the
required remedy. State banks went
out Of existence or were transformed
into national banks. Every State had
. circulating medium Of certain value.
The notes were alike throughout the
nation. People became familiar with
the appearance Of the bills, and coun-
terfeiting became almost impossible
Aside from this the Government: had
force Of detectives looking after the
counterfeiters, and their work became
too dangerous and Improbable to
continue In. The circulation of every
bank was secured by United States
bonds, 30 that the bills OF q broken
bank have their original value when
sent in for redemption. For this per-
feet system the people are indebted to
the Republican party. 1t was opposed
by the Democrats.
The policy Of the Democratic party
has been, and is now, against the sys-
tenn. It favors . return to the old
State bank system, and II permitted to
come into power will carry out its
scheme of changing our present bank
ing policy.
In order to show how perfect the
national bank system has worked we
give the following statement, taken
from an official report upon the sub
ject: 1.-THE average constant amount
Of deposits in the national banks
during the period Of three years from
June l, 1869, to June l, 1872, is about
500, 900, 600. The estimated losses to
dcpositors has been less than 1900 Of
one per cent, or about S. in 500 600"
The losses from all the banks In the
country under the new system have
been less than from single State
under the old.
The question for the people to an
aver 10, Do they desire to defeat the
party that upholds the credit Of the
nation? Do they desire to place in
power party that IL pledged to do
away with system that has proven
90 beneficent to the whole country
II they do, let them vote for Horace
Greeley II they do not, let them 60
to work earnestly to elect tho man
who represents the financial interests
Of the nation. Our bonds increased
largely In value on the election ol
General Grant. A still larger increase
Of value will follow his reelection.

At meeting Of Monodelphia
Grange, held at Upton, Cedar county,
July Goth, 1872, the following pream-
BILE and resolutions were adopted
WHEREAS, it is well known that on
account of the rebellion and war exist
ing in the United States, ten years
ago, that large numbers Of the labor
ers and producers were drawn into the
army, and that owing to the scarcity
OF labor and insufiiciency Of the sup
ply Of produce, the prices Of labor and
produce we're higher than ever before
known in this country. and that the
salaries for State and County Officers
were raised proportionately thereto,
and that,
WHEREAS, it is well known that Ia
borers' wages and the price Of produce
have been reduced to the usual rates
paid before the war, therefore be it
Resolved, That we will not give our
support to, or vote for any candidate
for Office in Cedar county, or State Of
Iowa, who will not favor reduction
of the salaries Of County and State
Officers, and agree to discharge the
duties OF said offices for q aalary pro.
portionate to the ruling price for labor.
And further
Resolued, That as 1t is the sole oh.
iect of our organization to do the great
est good to the greatest number Of Ia
borers and producers Of our county

men to both State and County offices

A Word for Truth.

The Post chides the ADVERTISER
for disregard of truth in that the lat
ter last week asserted that certain
given items concerning our county
convention were partial and unfair
statements. The Post quotes the
items alluded TO and makes itself I'M
derstood as saying that they do con-
tain the essence of truth" and that
they are fair and full statements Of the
facts in question. 1t does this indi-
rectly and equivocally because 1t Is
done with the full knowledge and I'M
Outstanding that If, as it takes pains to
claim, 1t knew nothing about the ORR
gin of these statements, land by the
way, who said it did? Why was this
denial necessary p 1t has now made
itself accessory to that which conveys,
and was intended to convey, an In
correct and erroneous impression, and
is therefore, In intention and effect, .
lie-one Of the meanest kind, seeking
the cover of truth to hide its cowardly
malice.
If any candid person, conversant
with the facts, will say that it is fair
and truthful and conveys correct i'm
preston, to assert of the convention
held at Upton on the 18th that, after
IN ecciting contest it instructed its
delegates to the Congressional conven-
ton to vote for Hon. A. r. Cotton,
for Congress" we propose to take this
all back and admit that we know
nothing about the matter. But since
no such emergency is possible, we
will just say further. that the impress
ion really given by the paragraph quo
ted is lust the one desired by certain
ambitious gentlemen who labored
hard to make an issue where none re-
ally existed, not only In order that
they might gain credit and redeem
promises by making it appear that
they owned Cedar county and had de-
livered it over, when in truth no one
sought to Withhold it, but also with the
idea Of gratifying personal enmity by
adroi. manipulation Of county politics.
That such is a poor policy we should
think they would have learned from
the fact that it was only earnest beg
ging for compromise" which gave
them the opportunity they are now
abusing BY their misrepresentation.
