Tt progress Of the Liberal cause in Min

HARD TIMES.

We hear complaints nesrly every day Of
hard times, scarcity of money, low price Of
produce, insufficiency and unreliability of
labor, ETC., etc. The times are just such as
we make them. We have command Of the
situation and can make our lots easyI or
hard, just as it suits us. There can be no
thrift without economy and industry, d.
rected by intelligence. Work as
hard as We may, make as much
as it is possible, still poor 6nanciering will
make us see hard times. To be always
pressed; TO be obliged to sell upon dull
market; to get into panic.and sell because
our neighbors sell, without studying the
market; to employ hands and rids about
the country "tradlng"-all these will pro-
duce hard times. Moore'S Rural Nep
Yorker gives the following as the
causes of hard times, and we earnestly
ask all our complaining readers to
read them carefully; cut them out, and
when the pressure of hard times is felt,
read them over and cOrecs what is amiss
in management:
l. Too MANY spend money and too few
earn it.
2. Too much money is spent wastefuly
aud useleSsly, and UoO little saved and made
productive and accumulzGive by those VINO
need 1t.
8. We buy too much abroad that we
ought to produce at home.
4. We buy toO mucL that We cannot and
do not pay for cash doWn-toO mucn OF
what We BUY being wha. we do not actual
y need.
5. We are too waSteful, know too little
how TO economist and have too little dispo-
sltion to do so.
8. We are too speculative, inscriptions
and actually dishonest in our Efforts 10
make money.
Z. Too many OF us prefer idIeness to in
dustry, and too few Of us know how to
work and derive pleasure and profit from
our labor.
8. We spend too much time learning
what is not useful, and too little informing
ourselves upon The best methods vi pro
noting our mate ial Prosperity.
8. He KNOW toO much vi politics, spend
too much time and money as pohtcians,
and know too little about political economy

MEN WHO KNOw GRANr.

The following opinions of gentlemen
who have been close enough to Grant to
know him at sight, are choice reading to-
Cay:
no man can hold ofice under Grant and
maiEaiu his selt-respecG," said Col. Forney
a year ago.
90 AM has no more clpability than a
horse" said Fighting Joe Hooker a few
months since.
He is not Sit to govern this country"
were Stanton's dying words.
EGcTo are sixteen weighty reasons why
Grant should never be President" wrote
CoifaX IL 1868.
III has 10 more soul than dog" said
Be- Butler, less than a year ago.
"He is uot controlled by constitutional
law, bua by political rings" says Senator
Trumbu,i.
oils san Domingo business stamps him
as first class cOnspirator," says Gov. Pal
mer.
ale is making money out Of his position,
and that's all ne cares about it," said Sena-
tor G srp-nJeT to a New York Herald cor
resp nGeLt.
"Hs IS a ran without sufficient knowl-
odCa . preside over a caucus" said Gen.
LOGAN in 1869.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

according to Correspondent of the San
Francisco Post, Southern California is a hot
bed Of Greeleyism.
The Norfolk (Va.) Journal states that
the Rev. J. V. Givens, the negro orator,
who is well Known In that city, scknow-
lodges himself convinced by Mr.. Summers
lstter that it is his duty TO come out for
Greeley.
A correspondent Of the New York
World, from Haverstraw, n. Y, says that
"G-eeley will ge5 more votes through this
section than has been cast, proportionately,
for President since the time Of Washing
TOM
y.hamar G. Sloan, of Jsnesville, Repub-
lean member of Congress from 1868 to
1887, is tbs Liberal nominee Of the First
Wisconsin District against Charles G.. VIII
son, of Evansville, the Grant nominee.
The Cincinnat Enquirer says: "Bishop
Simpson has been claimed as warm sup
porter of Grant. This is great mistake,
or, more probably, a wilful misrepresenta.
gtion. We have 1t from the best authority
that Bishop Simpson has declared that be
intends to vote for Greeley"
4 well informed writer from Augusta,
G., says: "One third of the colored vote in
this city, county, aud State will 60 for
Greeley AID Brown. have lived here thir-
ty years, and know, and am well know n
BY the colored people. They know that l
worked hard for Grant in 1888, and that /
an working for Greeley now. The Bour-
bous are nearly all played out, and will be
so completely before the election. Georgia
will give Greeley and Brown $1,000 MAORI
ty ia November.
The veteran Democrat, Gen. A. L. Roum-
fort, Of Harrisburg, has been quoted by the
Grant organs as opposed to Greeley. He
writes that be intends to vote for Greeley
for the good and sufficient reason, which
we commend to all honest Democrats
everywhere, that
"The great question which is to be de-
cided at the next Presidential election is
not whether thus Or that policy shall be
adopted, but whether we shall go back to
the old landmarks of constitutional govern
rneat and honest popuIar representation,
or sink into the lowest type of centralized
despotism."
Eli RIh, of Menard county, ILL.,, is an
nounced as delegate" to the Bourbon
Convention. As no Bourbon County Con-
1antion has baan held. and "a Ruh has al
ways been Republican and IS now ferv-
ent supporter of Grant, 1t is easy to see
from wh It constituency he is delegate"
~. II Peckham, who heads the 30 urbon
movement in Kansas, was charged months
ago, with having sold his vote, as mem
Der of the Legs allure, to Senator Caldwell,
Grants pst. Can such a man indorse the
"cOuupt bargain at Baltimore? Never,
nevar-as long as he can make better
bargain with the Grantees at home.

10. Our actions are governed too much
by passion, prejudice and partisan feeling,
and not enough by broad, intelligent, lib
eral and patriotic conception OF the duties
which American citizenship involves.
IL, We are too superficial and impatient,
and lack the clear purpose and persistent,
patien, application necessary to permanent
success.
u. We depend too much upon our
t.sharpness, /" "cuteness," and readiness to
take advantage of circumstances, and lot
enough upon earnest, honest labor.
10. We talk and read too much, and think
and act too little.
IA. We spread ourselves over too great a
surface, and this fail to dig deep enough in
one place for the nuggets that will surely
enrich us.
10. We lack in that higher morality
which frowns down veuality and eleVates
and encourages purity of life, probity of
conduct, and scrupulous regard for good
and honorable name. -..--.-----------

substance, and pay homage to the glitter of

filth, rottenness and corruption, social, COM
mercial and political.
10. We build too many churches and
cultivate the Christian virtues and spirit
too little; we have too many schools and
too few real teachers; we have too macy
false theories and too few true ones; We are
too undivided in certain directions and not

The Public Library Of Kentucky.
Second Grand Gift Concert.
DAY OF THE DRAWING FIXED.
No POstpOnement from September 2s'

To the Public:
The Trustees of the Public Library Of
Kentucky being satisfied from the large sale
of tickets already made, and the daily in
creasing demand for them, that there will
be no occasion for postponing the second
drawing in the Gift Concert in aid of the
Public Library of Kentucky, have instruct
ed me, as their Agent and Manager of the
Gift Concert, to say to the public and ticket
holders that the drawing will positively take
place on September 18th prox., and will not
be postponed. An active demand for tick
cts comes from every State and Territory
of the United States, and from the Canadas,
giving assurance to the Trustees that no
circumstances can prevent drawing at the
appointed time.
A sufficient clerical force is engaged to
keep up with the orders for tickets, and in
order that this offs may be relieved Of the
immense pressure incident to the business
for the week or two Immediately preceding
the drawing, agents especially, ana those
DESTROYS of procuring tickets, are requested
to send in their orders Immediately, as sales
will have to be closed in time to make the
necessary preparations for the drawing. 1t
is the wish of the management to till every
order for ticket, SIS well as to sell all the
tickets, but those who apply fist must be
supplied; an |, if those who put off buying
uutil sales are closed have their money re-
turned instead of the tickets ordered, as in
the first Gift Concert in December last,
when thousands of dollars that came too
lac were sent back, that they will have
none to blame but themselves.
