j. r. Gardner, of Prescott, was q
candidate for sheriff before the Rupub.
lIcan Convention last Wednesday. We
were at loss to comprehend his situa-
ton from the fact that he recently told
the writer hereof that he Lad lived in
Pierce county over twenty years had
been an alderman in the city of Pres
colt ut different times-was a member
of the school board there, and-well
enough certainly to insure the immor
tally of his OVID name, if not that Of
his whole family; and, among other
things, that he had Reper taken nerS-
paper published IN Pierce county.
Surely, now that he failed to get the
nomination for sheriff. there ought to
be provision made for him to be pre-
served as one of the natural curiosities
NOT of Pierce county alone. but Of
the Northwest. This couuty has al.
ways abouuded in newspapers, and now
If "the like o him" can be produced
among the fossils of America, let il oe
brought to light. He is a literal, if net
a literary curiosity.

The first resolution adopted at the
late Republican Convention is tame, in.
sipid, and really amounts to nothing
As for the second, it is a question
which has been well settled in the
minds Of the people of this county for
many wears, and it is certainly strange
that that committee we're not aware of
it, II isquite possible. however, that il
was intended as a very mild rebuke 70
Mr.. Persons, Che being present on The
occasion AS rebukc it is certainly
mild.
The ticket is the one we referred to
that was made up early last spring aud
the Convention, as we predicted, did
nothing bat to ratify 10 Upon the
hypothesis that the wish is the father
Of the thought, tho only inference to be
drawn is, that the Convention did lust
what we desired to have il do.

'Tiae Merchants EsilE.

The practice Of many farmers 60
ing to their merchant and making
arrangement for goods on credit till
after harvest, is q bad one. 1t leads
TO many difficulties. When cash is
the rule, the family will patiently
wait till that can be had, but if ar
rangements are made at the store for
credit, all the members of the family
will 60 and buy freely and thought
lessly sometimes more than is needed,
or more than should have been
bought under the circumstances OF
the family. No account is kept by
the farmer, and when pay day comes
the account is presented, and it is
double what the head Of the family
supposed it was. Tie crop is not
ready for market, ard if it was, just
at that time prices are down, so that
the whole crop would not meet the
bill. The merchant needs the mon
ey to meet his bills, and presses his
claim. Finally the farmer gives his
note at ninety days, which is to be
discounted at the bank. At the end
Of that time, the money is not ready
and the note goes to protest. But
bank debts must be paid, and the
farmer goes to a money loaner prob
ably principal stock holder in the
bank and gets the money for short
time, at twenty-five per cent. inter
est. Finally it has TO be paid. 1t Is
probable the merchant charged TWEEN
ty-five per cent. more for goods on
credit than they conId have been had
for cash-a third more were bought
than should have been, and altogeth-
er it sadly cripples the farmer. His
crops We're short, his expenses heavy,
and he is i'm had humor. Charges
his wife and children Of being ex-
travagant, and they take the suiks,
and the peace Of the family is sadly
marred, and the happiness of all in
terrupted.
This is no family sketch. 1t is the
history of the country. 1t will come
home to many one, and its truth
will be felt in many heart. This Is
a good week TO make new res0lu-
tions--to take new departures-to
improve by the errors of the past
In fact to resolve to pay as you so.

OF all classes of men the farmers
have the reputation Of most disre-

only at their convenience. No mat

cause for farmer being a meaner
man than any one else.
When business men are making
great sacrifices, and doing their ut,
most to pay their obligations, it calls
loudly to US to do the same. Our
failure to do this, reacts on ourselves,
and we have to make up for it in
high prices and poor goods. Fur.

work for less profits, be more keen
TO make the best article, and thereby
do us the best service, we shut up by
slow pay.
Now if we would be men, we must
act like men, and if we would sue
coed, we must carry business princi-
pies into our business; and the foun-
dation of business principles is
prompt pay. This will enable US to
buy cheap, TO sell well, and get on in
