How TO Prevent LoclSups.
New YORK, April 6 l87A


TO THE EDITOR OF TIE HERALD;-
That the locking up OF currency for stock gambl-
ing purposes Is infamous none Will deny.
Then, again, to deny the right to collect one's
debts In money Is contrary to oil law and
sound principle. The danger and derangc
ment, however, caused by this lookup party
OF stock gamblers is of sufficient moment to call
into action every practical means to thwart their
movement. These lookup movements have beco u g
SO frequent that some plan OF defence is called for.
WHAT can be dODe2
!. Congress can authorize the Secretary of the
Treasury TO prepare and set apart, say $780, 600
OF legal tender notes. 10 be loaned on government
bonds at high rate OF interest-say eight per cent.
such loans would never pe asked for except
in times OF tamperlng with tine money market,
ana ley would be paid IA soon as The lookup failed
IN lis purpose. In point oil TACT, with such de. en-
sive power In existence, lookup would never be
attempted.
2. Without any action OF Congress the banks can,
without positive violation vi law let their reserve
fa TO any point below the twenty-five per cent Tor
period OIL thirty days. Here an element of suni-
Gent power to break any lockup but the banks, as
rule are averse 10 thus Kind oil defensive action,
because the public and their depOsil0rs may inter-
pref 1t as meaning weakness
III the newspapers, merchants and country bank
ers could but take fair financial OF the sitta-
ton, ana give cOuntenance TO the banks that used
this power only In an emergency Ike the present.
very much OF the bad effects ol q lookup would be
averted. j. THOMPSON.

EDS. HERALD-Through the columns

in regard to crops, political
status, etc. AS for our crops, they are
good. Wheat will yield an average crop.
Oats are splendid. Corn very promising.
Health good. Politically the TIP. is well
known, and don't think HI. G. will rev.
olutionize it very much. Although have
tried to be consistent Democrat and have
hitherto voted the Democratic ticket,
can't support Horace Greeley notwith-
standing his nomination at Baltimore
The action of that Convention has not
placed Democrats under the slightest OBJ
legation TO support Mr.. G.. 1t is impudent
to talk of transferring the Democratic vote
to man that has held no opinion in COM
mon with the party whose SURFACES he
now asks. The Democracy cannot con.
sistently vote for Greeley & Brown with
out going back on their record and ac-
knowledging all the legislation of the par
ty in power for suppression of the rebel
lion also the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Constitution.-or in
other words all the acts of the Republican
party were right and all opposition wrong.
Open confession Is said to be good for the
soul. II that is the case, Democrats should

SABBATH SCHOOL CONCERT.


EDS. HERALD 1T was ours to enjoy
one of those most pleasant and profitable
occasions-the s. S. concert at the above
named village, on Sabbath afternoon ofthe
14th inst. The performers, under the train
ing of their chorister, Mr.. Johnson, sang
well, and they were thus able to entertain
the very large audience with credit. Many
productions from "Pure Gold" were excel
lent, and these with well chosen remarks
from Rev. James Mccoy, Elder j. Hatcher,
j. w. Johnson, d. A. Baker, j. A. Aus
bun, Fl. Elder, and s. johnson, made
most delightful meeting In addition we
were favored with quartettes by the Orvis
and johnson families. The new organ was
used to the satisfaction of all, throughout
the concert, by Miss Stella Orvis The ia.
vorable impressions which this and similar
meetings make upon US, prompt us thus to
speak of them, and we desire to see more
such social, christian enterprises.

FOUNDED ON Rock THE disappointed cd
venturers who have from time to time attempted
to run their worthless potions against brakes
Plantation Bitters, vow that they cannot under
stand what foundation there is for its amazing
popularity. The explanation is simple enough.
The reputation Of the world-renowned tonic is
founded upon rock, the rock of experience. ALI
its ingredients are pure and wholesome, How,
then, could tricksters and cheats expect to rival
it with compounds OF cheap drugs and refuse
liquors. or with liquorless trash in state of ace
tous fermentation or course the charlatans have
come to grief Their little game has failed. Their
contempt for the sagaclty of the community has
been fifty punished. Meanwhile Plantation Bit
tiers seems to he in fair way of eventually sup
erseding every other preparation included in the
class to which it belongs. In every State and
Territory of the Union it is, to-day, the accepted
epecifc for debility, dyspepsia, fever and
ague, rheumatism, and all ailments involving
defc iency of vital power.

not very substantial backing for the hands are

letter of the contract but we very much question
whether its spirit is met The hands that did the
work are not yet paid, one day last week party
OF them were told to 90 to Nichols Station at q
certain hour and they would be paid. They went
and were told they would have to get into freight
car and go to Muscatine for their money. This
they did and when the car had been carried into
the woods the brakeman was instructed to pull
out the coupling pin and leave the car and work.
men standing ON the track. When the men saw
the mean trick that had been played on them they
proceeded to destroy the freight that was in the
car and tore up the track and tried to turn the
car into the ditch. For these proceedings the
men were arrested and are now In Muscatine Jail.
1t is hard that poor men should be called to work
day and night as these were and then be tricked
and put in Jail because they showed natural In :
