value Of 81 Newspaper,

A mechanic thus tells bit OF his
experience bearing upon the question
of economy in taking or doing with
out newspaper:
Ten years ago / lived In town in
Indiana. On returning home one
night--for i am q carpenter by trade
Il saw little girl leave my door,
and / asked my wife who she was.
She said Mrs. Harris had sent after
their newspaper, which my wife had
borrowed. AS we sat down TO tea
my wife said to Inc, by name:
81 wish you would subscribe for
the newspaper; itisso much comfort
to me when you are away rom
home"
II would like to do so," said J.,
"but you know ! owe a payment on
the house and lot. 1t will be all !
can do TO meet it,"
She replied: "If you will take
this paper, / will sew for the tailor
to pay for it," .. .....
| subscribed for the paper; itcame
in due time to the shop. While
resting one noon and looking over 1t,
! saw an advertisement Of the County
Commissioners to let bridge that
was to be built. l put in bid for
the bridge, and the job was awarded
TO me, on which Icleared $500, which
enabled me TO pay for my house and
lot easily, and for the newspaper. II
| had not subscribed for the paper, l
4 II N
about Tho contract, and could not
have met my payment on my house
and lot. A mechanic or farmer
never loses anything by taking Il
newspaper.

RATEs OF ADVERTISING
Postal telegraph.

The Republic says: Among the
miscellaneous measures of merit that
will engage the attention of Congress
is the postal telegraph system recom-
mended by the Postmaster General.
We are fully convinced that the toll
on messages Of twenty words, at q
uniform rate of twenty-five cents,
and one cent a word additional,
would not merely be sufficient to pay
expenses, but leave considera-
BILE profit to the Government.
We do not see the necessity Of pur-
chasing the present telegraph lines.
The Government can construct lines
of its own, leaving these lines on the
hands of their owners, unless they
choose to sell them at what they are
worth, and not at what their inflated
stock represents.
Il is estimated that s12,000,00 in
cash will replace the present lines,
except the buildings, and these arc
not generally needed because there
would be room at the post offices.
This system would save money 10
all classes of people, and make the
telegraph, by means of stamped telc-
graph cards, which every man can
carry in his pocket, like the postal
cards, the usual means OF intercom-
munication, and break down at least
one grasping and powerful monopo-
ly. This scheme cannot fail OF re-
ceiving favorable consideration.

selves'iogether that we may consider
what il iof our good ? Have we not
.exfas S<sp and 9air means OF making
our wishes known and their poWel

make our laws, those who adjudicate
upon and those who execute them? i:
not the power in our own hands, and
is it not amply sufficient If we VIII

Are we living under despotisn
that we must assemble in darkened
rooms, with closed blinds and bolted
doors, with sentry standing guard
that we may discuss the question oI
our most common needs?
Look at New York and new Eng
land, see the eviFwhich labOr-unions
have brought upon the laboring men
of the East. Thousands thrown out
of employment Just at the beginning
of "a long Winter; want, and perhaps
starvation staring them In the face
Those laber-unions, instead OF teach
ing the working man habits OF econ
omy, health, and true patsiotlsm
have only labored to instii into thell
minds the idea OF an utter and lrrec'
oncilable antagonism between labor
and capital AN antagonlsm Which
does not exist, and will not, If men
will only be wise and not follow the
leadership Of demagogues.

mers' Convention recently assembled
at Chicago declared for free trade, or,
at least, against protective tarlfi'
IL this the voice of the people OF the
Northwest? j think not; | for one

much like a trick Of such political
dead-beats as j. r.. Doolittle or DaVld
A. Wells.
Our needs are open, fair, full dis
cussion of our grievances by neign'
bors, club, press, pulpit; more man
ufactories, less extravaganza; more
intelligent appreciation OF the situa-
ton, less secret deniagogism; more
money spent for good papers, less ior
lodge-rooin, fees and ieasts; less acres
and more manure and cultivation.
Use money, not abuse it; don't eX.
pect that you can use tobacco ana
whisky i'm moderation, with no dan-
ger of using ii 10 excess. Were there
no moder0te sinners, there would be
noA who make IL business Of their

The general discussions of the ques-
tion of supplying cheap transporta-
ton between the East and the West
has evolved the following plan,
which seems to be worthy Of fall
consideration at least: The Govern
ment to construct double-track
railway owning m erely the road-bed
and charging tolls thereon, as on
canal leaving to private parties, un-
der certain regulations, to run freight
trains at their option. The Repubttc
says: alt will be found, after many
attempts at legislation, that active
competition, by the improvement OF
water lines, and by the construction
of one or moro railway beds, like a
great highway, open to all parties,
will be the most efficient ii not the
only effectual means toward reguia-
ting the tariff Of ireights.

The People in some Of the North
western counties Of this State are in
a condition requiring charity to
prevent starvation and freezing.
They have raised no crops this year
i'm consequence Of the ravsIges OF
grasshoppers. They are already
destitute of food, clothing and fuel,
and are appealing for help. They
are sick, starving and freezing, and
their appeals deserve immediate and
generous attention. Aid is being

True and False Ideas.

Under this caption we find thu
subjoined article in the Hestc7i Ru
rat, one Of the best agricultural pa
pers in the West, and by the way q
strong Grange advocate. 1t appears
as communication, of course, and il
not endorsed by the Rural. The ar.
ticle presents at least some true ideas
though the writer is possibly little
inclined to be iDiberal:
Railroad monopoly is only one
manifestation of the deadly disease
which has fastened itself upon
the vitals of the country, and will,
if some radical remedy is not applied
utterly destroy the life of its victim.
That evil, that disease is extraya-
gance. Extravaganza in eating, in
drinking, in dress, in almost every
habit and action of our daily lives.
The farmers of the West must not
expect to permanently better their
condition by Waging warfare upon
railroad monopoly alone. Railroad
monopoly is merely an outgrowth OF
this same prolific extravaganza.
Where railroads are robbing the pro-
ducer of one dollar, whisky, beer,
tobacco, gaudy dress, stimulating
beverages, as tea and coffee, and dem
agogism are taking hundred and
at the same time poisoning the phys
ical, weakening the mental, and COR
rupting the morol man.
Farmers OF the West! DO you ex-
pect to overcome the monopoly of
of misused capital by the agency of
the ten-fold worse monopoly OF the
secret lodge? What do you suppose
childish mummery Of iniation, the
regalia OF Grand Master" Of a
/" Flora" or a Pomona, the windy
effu-ions Of a State Lecturer have
to do with the question OF grain tar
ifs between Chicago and New York,
and the price of wheat in Liverpool ?
Such things may do for children who
know no better, but for grown men
an women there certainty is sone-
thing better than such aiinless nom
sense.

Virginius Affair.

War between the United States
and Spain is threatened in conse-
quence of the capture of the steamer
Virginius by the Spanish war ship
Tornado, and the shooting of her
passengers and crew as pirates. The
Virginius sailed under the United
States flag and was regularly cleared
from an English port by an Ameri-
can Consul. The capture took place
off Jamaica, but whether in Spanish
waters or on the high seas, seems an
unsettled question. The vessel was
boarded, her flag hauled down and
the Spanish flag substituted; her
passengers and crew were transferred
to the Tornado, prize crew put on
board, and the vessel taken as a
prize to Santiago de Cuba where, as
now reported, all on board were put
to death, and the heads of the officers
of the ship were severed and carried
on pixies through the city. Details
are given in our inside columns.
Active preparations for war are in
progress at our navy yards, and some
war vessels have already sailed for
Cuban waters. The President will
lay the matter before Congress for
action. Our Government will OF
course demand, if it has not already
done SO, the trial and punishment OF
the officers under whose orders the
outrage was committed. Any fur
ther such barbarities will bring down
upon Spain vengeance at the hands
ofGreat Britain and the United States.
The country is thoroughly aroused,
and money and troops are being Of.
fered lavishly for the aid of the Gu
bans against the Spanish Govern
ment.

IS We Did It.'

This is the boast of all the Demo-
cratic papers in the country since the
election. The New York World
leads those of the east in claiming
every thing for the straight old
Democratic party. The Chicago
Times realizes the weakness of the
old party in the West, and the utter
uselessness Of trying Immediately
to marshal its forces under the old
name, says tive" the farmers, the
grangers, the Anti-Monopolists, the
Rrformers, and the Democracy, did
it. The Times thus takes the World
to task for being in too great haste to
tell the fact that the Farmers move
ment is all for the glory of the DEM
ocracy:
The World the organ of the putrid
Tammany ring i'm New York, bawlS
out: +" We have not only triumphed
in New York, but have carried Vir-
ginia, carried Wisconsin, carried
"Texas," etc. Who are 1--WE" that
have achieved so many wonderful
things and what do "We " want 7?
Are tive" John Morrisey, prize
fighter, who want the stake money? :?
Or are 1--WE" II. M. II. Hunter, who
want s4O0, 100000 from the public
treasury for our lost niggers? Or
are I've" a ring of confid gam
blers who want to empty the treas
ury into our pockets on pretense Of
digging a new Mississippi through
the Allegheny mountains?
The World and the Times both
seek the ultimate triumph of the old
Democracy under the old name and
flag. The difference is that the
World and followers in the East are
not willing to drop the name even for
one campaign, while the Times and
its satellites are willing to "stoop to
conquer "-willing to lay aside the
old name for year or two--pretend
to be dead-willing to be or do any
thing, and hide their. time, in hopes
to recruit their forces for the next
Presidential campaign.

Economy in Hedging.

/ have just been engaged in driv-
ing down q few stakes in the line Of
a young hedge, and drawing through
the tops of the hedge plants single
wire, fastening it to the stakes in the
usual way. This young hedge Was
FLASHED by nicking near the ground
and laying over at All angle of about
forty-five degrees, last spring. Tho
object in putting the wire through it
at this time is to make it an effective
fence, to enable me to turn cattle,
sheep, ETC., into the part of the corn
fields already husked. Now for the
exhibit of economy. One hundred
rods of such fence as would answer
the purpose of restraining my stock
rs well, would cost one hundred amt
twenty-five dollars in cash. | find
by careful estimates the cost Of
plants, of setting, of culture, Of
plashing and Of the one wire, and
work to place it, is less than twenty
five dollars, and the only cash ex-
pense Of this, is the one wire, and
this was drawn out of a hedge row
where it was no longer needed.
Again, as this hedge Is honey io~
Gust, which will not be liable to In
Jury by winter, | not only have n
present fence mt small cost, enabling
us to use much needed feed six weeks
perhaps before. we are entirely done
husking, but / have the probability
OF having life time fence at only
the cost OF annual pruning. Il. b.,

For the week ending last nigh

For the week ending last night,
the produce exports from New York
reached the satisfactory total Of about
81, $50, 900. During the previous
week they fell off to 81, 100000, which
is, after all allowances are made,
about the natural average of the sea-
son. In spite, therefore, OF the Diff
culties Of negotiating exchange, the
exports Of last week were exception
ally large. Of course, but for the
large influx Of gold, such a result
would have been impossible In the
present state Of this market. Tint
this liberal outflow Of our produce
will continue may be confidently
predicted. The imperative needs ot
Europe justify such statement, apa
the fact that freight space in Euro
pean steamers has been secured con-
siderably in advance, is positive
proof Of the activity Of the export
demand. There is money enough. lii
Europe to pay for all our available
surplus of grain, cotton, and tobacco,
and the transmission of that money
can be but partially affected hy any
possible rate Of discount.-N y.
