SPLENDID ILLUSTRATIONS

executed In the most ~iaultless and artistic
style, and portraying accurately and fully all
leading events within twenty-four hours after
their occurrence. Those who have made
journalism q study, and fully appreciate the
great enterprise manifested in the collection
and publication Of news by the aid of the tel
egraph, steam presses, and the development
of our journalistic talent, have been
fond Of advancing the theory, that the
next advance in that field would re-
suit in u newspaper furnishing regular
issues pictures Of all current prominent
events. That theory is q theory no long
er; the newspaper of the future is the newspa-
per OF to-day, and that paper is TIE DAILY
GRAPHIC. The processes which render this
marvellous achievement an existing fact are
the result of the most careful study and an
endless variety of experiments, gradually per-
fected during the past twelve years. They
depend upon improvements in photography
and the application Photographic camera. By
their aid a picture is engraved and made
ready to print in from twenty minutes, to two
hours. Costly and elaborate plates, works OF
art, scenes OF interest, are reproduced and
pictured forth with equal facility and the
most scrupulous fidelity. Illustrations of
leading events are engraved and prepared for
the press even before the accompanying writ

MINORITY Representation will
probably be embodied in the
new Constitution of this State,
as it has been in Illinois, where
it is regarded as being highly
beneficial to the public interests.
Cumulative voting" in districts
wherein three o. more repre-
INITIATIVES are to be elected, and
~ which the minority may
elect one, seems to be the sim
pleSt and most practicable In
Illinois it has been demonstra-
ted to be a real reform-the
minorities generally electing
the best and ablest men, and
thus operating as a check on
the minorities. No party adj
vantage is gained by it in the
aggregate but a representation
proportioned to the vote of each
party is obtained. We hope
for its institution in Ohio.

attempt, at this time, u catalogue of all tho
good things that will be spread before the
readers Of the Ledger in 1873. Our old sub
scriDers will bear us witness that all the
promises we have ever made have ALWAYS
been more than fulfilled. We never let slim

desirable thing. Expense and trouble never

The Ledger Is particularly devoted to the
interests and welfare of the young. A vast

Capital and Labor How 10 Recon

BY PROF. j. D. BUTLER.

WHEN Falstaff sent his page to
Master Dumbleton for a satin cloak
and offered his bone and Bardolph's
for payment, the answer was that
the "tailor liked not the security"
The knight called Dumbleton q
rascally knave to stand upon secu-
rity, and cried, 81 would as lief they
would put ratsbane in my mouth as
stop it with security. He who
goes a borrowing, goes q sorrowing.
Not only Shylocks, but most capt
talists + deaf to borrowers, be-
cause they, us well as Fallstaff7s
tailor, "like not the security. 1"
Capitalists will not lend a poor man
money. They dem and security. AS
he cannot endorse, others cannot en-
dorse for him, He has no lands,
no chattels, on which he can give a
mortgage. Where he is sanguine
that he can double the money he
wishes to borrow, they say to him,
"you may he robbed or cheated, or
your investments may be burned
up and your insurance worthless,
or you may abscond, or your death
may blight the brightest prospects"
1--WE like not the security" 1t is
a "castle in the all.
Again, capitalist shun putting
their investments into the hands of.
any poor stranger They are dis.
trustful of his honesty where there
is a chance for fraud; of comne.

his zeal, where he bs.s no interest
vt stake; and of his vigilance,
snere there are temptations to neg

'orCune, but no one will trust him
the tools.
But must capital and labor needs
be hostile? Is there no way that
capitalists can be just to them
and yet generous to borrow
ers? Yes, they can. How? By
land sales on ten years. credit, and
SIX per cent. interest. The borrow
er cannot be cheated out of land
that is not decided to him till he has
paid for it. No fire can burn it I'M.
He cannot lessen it's value. The Ia.
Dor and money he lays out on it
Will increase that value. He cannot
run away with it, He cannot strip
it of lumber, any more than he can

They Don't Take the Papers.

AN exchange thus graphically de-
scribes the condition of an old man
and his family, who was always too
poor to take . paper:
His hogs don't know enough to
grunt When they are hungry; his
dog Jumped into the river and was
drowned because he didn't know
CROUCH to swim out; and only last
week his horse got out of the barn,
went to a saw-mill close by, and
installing the saw dust for bran, ate
two bushels and turned into a hem
lock log. The wife wandered sew
eral miles away from home, four
years ago, after blackberries, and
was frightened to death by a rail
way train; his oldest son is in the
State prison for bre aking a law he
never heard of; his only daughter
stabbed herself to the heart with
an old-fashioned candle rod; and
now his only and youngest son has
choked himself to death trying to
swallow a small yellow pumpkin.
This is an example of what the
world would be without educational
influence of the press"
