My Democratic friends propose to
wipe out the national banks. Let us
see how they came into existence. Be
ore the war there were State banks all
over the country, without uniformity
of securities or uniformity ofvalues to
their money. Congress decided that
it had power to create and issue cur
rency for the country.
S. P. Chase, by far the ablest fnan-
cier of his time, induced Congress to
sweep the State banks out of exis-
tence. A uniformity of value in cir
culatioL of money was secured that
had never been known in the coun try.
The speaker Ventured to assert that
during the late panic no man looked
at his bank bills to find out whether
they were from banks in Tallahassee
Flo rida, Cincinnati, OF from Bangor,
up in Maine.
Yet the Democrats of Ohio propose
to wipe out these banks 1t is entire
ly too grave a proposition to be con-
cocted in the back parlor of the Neil
House, by small party of politicians.
Banks are the fiscal agents of the peo-
pie, and are interviewer through all
business. They enable the people to
utilize what money they have. The
banks owe the people eight or nine
hundred millions of dollars, and the
people owe eight or nine hundred mill
ions to the banks. So interviewer are
they with all kinds of business in the
country that if you attempt summari-
ly to wind up banks you would wind
up all business. You'd have an active
time with the lawyers, and there would
be active times for the sheriffs in But
Ter and Clermont.
The Democrats of Ohio propose tC
issue greenbacks to replace the $3.50,
900, 900 of money now in circulation
and if you want more, all you have tc
do is to issue more.
So far as we are concerned in thi
district, on this most important ant
grave question, you leave it to a youn:
lawyer in Wilmington to be the judge
Mr.. Pendleton was opposed to leaving
it to Congress, and thought it ough
to be left to God. want no man tt
leave the question to me. Bring int
effect this Democratic theory, and NJ
man has any assurance of the value O
money a year hence. Of all the ah
surd propositions ever made to th
people, that to allow Congress to ex
pand or contract the money of coun
try according to its judgment, is tn
: most preposterous and insane. Th
speaker here illustrated Gen. Schenck'
! plan of apprOximating the currenc.
until it reaches the standard of specie
: t He believed we ought to get stand
ard basis in our country that will no
allow values to fuctuate every wee
or two. Democrats of every state il

The lion julius, the largest one
ever imported into this country, died
in New Jersey, few days ago, at
the ripe age of 81. julius life was
an eventtul one, he having at one
time belonged to an African prince,
from whom he was purchased and
carried TO England, where he was
carefully trained for cage perform
ances. lie became great favorite,
but lost caste after killing a trainer
while performing in Edinburgh. He
was afterward brought TO this coun-
try. Thirteen or fourteen years ago,
while being handled in his training
stage during visit Of Forepaughs
menagerie to Philadelphia, he crushed
The skull Of his trainer between his
Jaws as if it had been an ege she'll.
1t is said that this is the only in
stance of man being killed by 4
Ion in this country. After this acci-
dent, he was used as a cage animal,
and attracted crowds by his magnif.
cent appearance. He formed a
strange friendship at one time for
black k-and-tan dog, caressing it with
the greatest fondness. At Nashville,
some wears ago, julius escaped from
his cage, and after killing q camel,
jumped upon the cage Of leopard,
who struck him with his paw, tearing
out one of his eyes with his claws.
He finally succumbed to lung fever,
while on his way to New York to re.
ceive hospital treatment.

Yes, vice is eminently uncomforta-
BILE. Look at the red-nosed drunk
ard, at the gambler with blue rings
about his eyes, at the woman with
paint on her cheeks and demon in
her eye. There is never any air Of
repose about these poor people,
though they are jolly sometimes.
The heas of retribu,ion are always
biting them and the shadows of their
lives fall upon the innocent and make
them uncomfortable, too, in many
ways.
Perhaps the hardest of all is the
necessity which the purest men and
women feel Of avoiding suspicion Of
crimes of which they are incapable,
and the fact that any one rs innocent
and careless Of appearances as .
young child, would soon gain the
reputation of being one Of the most
daring sinners.
The discomfort Of vice? Were /
a preacher think | should take that
for my text some day, it is such q
fruitful subject.

Cattle aud Hogs I'm Iowa.

We are Indebted to the Hon. John
Ru-sel. State Auditor, for the follow
ing valuable table of the number of
cattle and hogs in Iowa i'll 1874.
Those who watch this elias, Of stats
ties will at once discover the largely
decreased number of hogs below
either 1872 or 1873. In 1872, the
number estimated was l,244,Os5,
being 243,4Sl more than in 1874.
The number last year, 1873, was
1860, ,.s4, being Ago, $50 more than
the present year. This is serious
matter This 100000 will come out
of the surplus which we will have
for market this fall. Nor do we con
slider This all. Last April and MAY
many had young hogs in thrifty con
dition, and no corn, To keep them
over they would be reduced in flesh
aud decimated by disc 'se, and many
pushed heir young hogs to market,
and these were out of this number
repor Ell, so there will evidently be a
greater deficiency than these figures
would indicate.
In cattle there is gradual in
crease. In 1872 there were l,O65,-
sG3 head; in 1878, 1,l:S,01. head (;
in 1874, 1925, 800 head, or an in
crease over last year of l4', ,'o9,
which is very creditable showing.
Jasper leads in the number of hogs,
while Linn leads in the number of
cattle. What is we'll for the tinan-
cial credit of the State, the number
of cattle is increasing more rapidly
than population. In 1869 the mum,
Der of cattle was $1,000, and the
population was about l,o65,000
Now the population is l,25l,oOO and
the number Of cattle is 1875, ,sO6
In 1859 it was one-fourth below, now
it is one twenty-fourth above. Ad.
vance at this rate, which our soil and
climate are capable of doing, fol
twenty-five years, and Iowa will be
the most independent State on the
earth. Cattle enrich the people anc
impoverish not the soil. Both grow
rich together. Hogs, cattle an
sheep are the banking capital o
Iowa, and not another bushel o
wheat or corn should be shippe flon
the State.-C. g. Ctarkson, IN De
Moiaes Register.

: You ask in regard 10 con-
dition of crops. / will give you :
correct statement:
Our spring was very promising
and crops Of all kinds up to June lst
looked well. About that time the
chinch bugs made their appearance,
completely destroying an spring
wheat and seriously damaging the
fall grain, spreading them into the
oats and corn. About July lst the
drought commenced. The heat was
intense, running for days and days 1t
100 to 10 degrees and accompanied
by strong scorching winds from the
southwest which dried and blasted
the tassel of the corn as soon Is it
made its appearance. Following
this, August 7th, the grasshoppers
made their appearance, coming in
countless millions. In twenty four
hours after their arrival nothing was
left of the corn but the naked stalk
and in many instances the stalk itself
was eaten, at least one half its length.
After finishing the corn they attacked
the fruit and forest trees. had
about three hundred peach and
cherry trees that were very fine, the
admiration of myself and neighbors.
In short time they were as naked
as in mid winter. A few of them
had fruit on which was eaten, leaving
the pit on the tree. | also had out
about $500 forest trees and one mile
of hedge, very fine. The trees were
stripped Of their foliage and the bark
Of much of the hedge stripped of Is
if done by rabbits. | also had
piece Of white beans looking well;
they, together with late potatoes and
all garden vegetables were eaten to
the ground. After remaining with
us nearly a week they departed to-
ward the southwest. The trees that
were not girdled commenced to put
forth new leaves and looked quite
green when new army Of the in
sects made their appearance and
again stripped the leaves from the
trees. utterly destroying the growth
Of this year. They have again de-
parted.
Without the grasshoppers our corn
would have been light, owing to
chinch bugs and drought, having had
but one shower of any consequence
in three months. As it is, there is
nothing left. BY request of County
Commissioners | have made an ex-
animation of the condition Of this
township. The corn will not average
one bushel per acre.
After liboring hard all the season
! find myself with nothing to show
in return except few bushels Of oats
aud few early potatoes, and this re-
port will apply to all sections Of this
and adjoining counties. -.

T.. S. Fish Commissioner Baird
has notified Mr.. Shaw to be in readi-
ness to receive 25O,OOO California
salmon before the lst of october.
We understand this is Iowa's share,
and now that we have a Fish Com
mission these young fish can be re-
ceived and the State correspondingly
benefited. Mr.. Shaw is also nego-
tiating with parties in Michigan for
25O.OoO white fish, aud may be able
to secure 100000. If possible 250,-
600 lake trout will be obtained in
addition to the above. If the Com
missoners succeed in their desire to
place in Iowa rivers and lakes tins
fall the number and kinds of FISH
named, the experiment, if it shall be
a success with these new varieties,
as is hoped and expected, will in a
very short time show some tangible
results.-Erek0.

The fair which closed Yesterday
was not in any respect behind those

holds her reputation in the fair line,
as no one will deny who attended
this one The weather was all that
could be dcs,red-bright from begin
nlng to eud, which is seldom the case
during fair week here. The art hall
was amply filed with articles beau'i
ful and costly. and was the center Of
attraction throughout. There were
OIL paintings, chromos, pen-portraiIs $,
and fine displays of photographs by
Davenport artis's, scat cred through
out the hall; fancy work OF all des-
cript,ons crowded the sails assigned
to that class The fruit display was
excellent, rs many AS one hundred
and twenty-five varieties of apples
being shown by one party also "A
great many varieties of pears, peach

plan of every description filled u
large space; three fountains instead
of one, as formerly, played on one
side of the central elevation aud ai-
ded much to the beauty of the scene.
A choice collection of furs attracted
much attention. nearly every fur
bearing animal known was represen-
ted in he lot. Outside, the rows of
shelving tunning the entire circum-
ference If the hall. was filled with
farm products. Everything that can
be raised on Iowa sol, was h're on
exhibition. The ground SGT apart for

The sorrow of all sorrows
Was never sung or said,
Though many poet borrows
The mourning of the dead,
And darkly buries pleasure
In some melodious measure.
The loss of youth Is sadness
To all who think, or feel
A wound no after gladness
Can ever wholly heal;
And yet SO many share il.
We learn at last TO bear IL.
The faltering and the falling
OF friends is sadder still;
For friends grown ices, assailing
Know when and where to kill,
But souls themselves sustaining,
Have still friend remainign,
The death of those who love us,
And those we love, is sore:
But think they are above us.
Or think they are no more
We bear the blows that sever,
We cannot weep forever,
The sorrow of all sorrows
Is deeper than all these:
And all that anguish borrows
Upon its bended knees.
No tears nor prayers relieve IL,
Nor loving vows deceive IL.
1t is one day to waken
And find that love is flown
And cannot be oe'r taken,
And we are left alone;
No woe that can be spoken,
No heart that can be broken;
No wish for loves returning,
Or something in its stead;
No missing 1t, and yearning
As for the dearer dead;
No yesterday, no morrow,
But everlasting sorrow.
