THE TAX ON CORN.

The farmers aud other produoor6 OF tho
country arc very Justly Investigating what bo-
comes Of tho proceeds Of their 1abor.
They want to know why 1t ia that tho
surplus corn raiaod in Illinois for which
tho people Of Now York pay o7 conts, and
tho people Of Now England 70 conts, per busho],
only brings tho producer 90 cents por bushe1.
What becomes OF tho 50 conta por buahol7 Who
gets it, and what is dono with it2 Porhaps n
fow figures taken from official tables will fur

plishod statisttcian Of tho Troasury Department,

Of tho Government from tariff and tho sales

In the debate in the Senate on

'mittee to in estigate charges against
Clayton, Of Arkansas, the remarks

through friends, to influence his

Brigham Young is now commence
ing to realize something tangible
from his matrimonial investments.
The anniversaries of those marriag
cs are commencing to occur with
astonishing frequency. First, there
is a silver wedding, then Il wooden
wedding, and a tin wedding, and
then another silver wedding, and
adjoining, glass wedding, and then
a tin wedding again, and the next
night still another silver wedding,
and then u linen wedding, followed
by a wooden wedding, which is sue
ceeded by glass wedding, and 50
on through the chapter. The effect
on the Mormons-the rank and file
of the f;;ithtul-can well be imagin-
ed, 4 brush in a ten-acre lot of mar
rowtat peas couldn't paint it. The
treasury is depleted. The temple
itself is warmed with three mortga
ges, and even the revelation bids
fair to ascend the spout. 1t is no
uncommon thing to see healthy

California and Iowa.

E. II. Cougar, Esq, writing from
San Jose, California, to the Man
chester Press, gives the following
advice to his Iowa friends:
want to say to my friends, farm
ers, mechanics or business men,
comfortably situated in Iowa-es
pecially in Delaware Countrywide
are longing or looking for milder
climate, they had better go slow and
make a careful examination of all
the resources and conditions of any
country before making up their
minds to change location or leave
the State Of Iowa, either for climate,
pecuniary profit, or the general wei
fare of themselves and families.
| am aware Of the annual discon-
tent and uneasiness, during the long
cold winter months, which are bad
enough, and one of the drawbacks;
but | have yet to learn of a country
that does not have serious draw
backs in some particular. That
Iowa is one Of the best States in The
Union, with agricultural and bust
ness prospects second to none other,
can be demonstrated by comparison
and observation beyond q doubt
To make it possible to produce the
great staple of the country, the lati-
tudc including your State, cannot be
improved, if health is made one Of
the considerations. From what |
hay" seen on this coast, to me it is
no small item that country has
enough and to spare of more than
one of the staples necessary for man
and beast. When confined princi-
pally to wheat, which is. the case
here, one or two uDtavorable sea-
sons leaves the farmer without any
alternative. Hence 1 conclude that
productions of every climate are
suited to the needs and adjusted to
the wants of the people in that eli
mate. When we all find the prom
ised land flowing in milk and honey
at first sight-we shall soon dis
cover the balance is there maintain
ed been good and bad, between ad
vantages and disadvantages. If you
do have severe winters and long
ones you have an abundance of feed
to fattcn your stock all through such
seasons, which is not q condition to
be deplored when compared with
the necessity Of driving stock hun
dreds of miles to 4 "range," ora less
distance into the canyons, for sub
SStance.

Tho Testimony of an Eye Witness.

We find in the Waterloo Courier
of this week, the editor of which,
Mr.. Woodruff, was in Washington
while the salary bill was under con
sideration, a statement which may
help the editor of the Conservative
to make up his mind whether Hon.
w. G. Donnan acted the knavc and
hypocrite in that matter, as intlma-
ted in his paper Of last week, al
though we apprehenl that 10 other
person in this community will nee.i
a confirmation Of Mr.. Domains con-
sistency. Abiding to the indecent
and reckless charge repeated by the
Conservative, on the authority of an
unknown and irresponsible cores
pondent of Il Chicago paper, that
Mr.. Donnan, in common with the
Iowa delegation in Congress, voted
against the salary steal in the
House and then log-rolled for it in
the Senate, the Courier says:
We can testify on the point in
question, rs the writer was locker
on in Congress-both Houses-du-
ring the time consumed over the
final struggle upon the Salary Bill.
To our certain knowledge Mr.. Don
nan not only voted against the bill
but he worked against, and argued
against, and fought it, with such
vehemence at times as indicated to
the writer that he had almost lost
his temper. In the discussions we
heard over this measure at Wash
ington, in Congress and out, the
writer found no man in Congress or
out, who was more strenuously and
bitterly opposed to it than Hon. W.
G.. Donnan. The Conservative sure
" does not honor itself, when giving
form to a suspicion that Mr.. Don
nan would vote one way upon any
measure and secretly work the 9th
cr.
Now let us see whether with this
pointed and explicit testimony be-
fore it the Conservative will have
the manliness to retract its charge.

Night before last, while lying

thought to play Il joke on him by
stealing his shirt, and proceeded to

and suspended by 4 string around

to contain his commission as Breve'
