Of the passage in the House OF the

rather popular with the Republican

The Marshalltown Times pro-
pounds the following question


"why should the lawyer, physi.
clan, preacher, ETC., ETC., be allowed
to escape their just proportion Of tax
alton, and the farmer, whose income
may not be tithe of theirs, be taxed
till he Ia SO crippled in business that
he can't keep up the necessary re-
pairs on his farm, and, instead OF
growing richer, finds himself. at the
end of the years labor, with u heavy
debt hanging over him in the shape
ofa tax lieu, which must be paid 2"
The Times Is usually candid and
fair in the discussion of questions OF
public policy, and we are surprised
to find this item in its editorial col
umns, implying great wrong with
out clear statement of facts upon
which to base the supposition. II
brother Chaplin thinks that lawyers,
physicians, etc., are allowed TO es-
cape their just proportion OF taxation
while farmers are taxed to such nm
extent as to cripple their business,
he should state the fact In unequivo.
cal terms, aud prove il. When this
is done it will be time to ask why 1t
should be so. The Times is an earn
est friend of the people as against all
official frauds, and the imposi-
tions and extortions Of the
strong upon the weak; In these
things ii Is right, and we are glad to
see it; but when it indulges in such
nonsense as the above paragraph, we
are forced to the inference that the
editor Is In some measure at least
making "A pretense of sympathy with
the farming class, creating discomfort
without just cause, pandering to an
wholesome, hurtful prejudice. In
short il indicates that Bro. Chaplin
has been tempted into the absurdity
OF wearing hayseed In his hair"
Such expressions as the above are
calculated to inhame farmers against
all other classes, and place one at
enmity against another. There is
enough of this Already indeed
than Is beneficial. rhe farmers are
already Sufficiently aroused. What
they ueed Is Information aud consid-
crate, temperate aetion. Appeals
should be made To their reason, and
calm, softer Judgment rather tirsn u
their excited prejudices. They have
causes ot complaint, but IL Is not tht
part OF Wisdom TO magnify these
evils. Neither Is it just to charge
them "nt ely upon others, while Tho
farmers, by the~r own inactivity
have made themselves in very large
measure responsible for the difficult
ties OF which ney complain.

G. F. Clarkson, a large farmer oil
Grundy county, Iowa, q prominent
Granger and agricultural editor OF

Pass that around amongst the

Grangers. Eastern Congressman
would have the country believe that
1T is pure and disinterested patriot
ism that induced the signers OF the
petition to send it 10 the President.
LIZ the whole truth were told, it
would appear that over one-half of
the $500, ,000,0 900 has been squeezed
out of the hard earnings of Western
producers by the operation of une-
quail laws, enacted for the benefit of
thimbie-rigging New Englanders." !"
As another paper puts the case,
these millionaires have their vaults
full of bonds and mortgages upon
homesteads and farms, procured by
loaning what the President terms
''irredeemable currency" and now
they are insisting upon specie pay
ments-that is, their 'irredeemable
currency" loans to the poor man

friends-all over the country, are
slirieking for payment In gold.
We admit that there are honest
differences of opinion upon this
subject, aud that party lines cannot
be clearly drawn upon 1t. The Pres
ident takes one view and the mass
OF his party take the opposite view
and all claim to be acting for the
good Of the country and the people

The Knoxville VOTER says it
wants to be candid enough in ad-
vance to say that, IL the Republicans
expect to elect the next Congressman
In the Sixth District, they must
choose some man other than Judge
Loughridge.--State Register.
The above,-if we may be allowed
the expression" as the old Deacon
said when the sire of Mary's little
lamb gave him a sender aud upset
his pail Of milk,--is well said aud
eminently proper. Judge lough-
ridge Is fair Legislator, but he has
"tricked" and betrayed the conf
dence of many leading Republicans
In the Sixth District, hence he will
meet with strong opposition and
certain defeat II nominated. And
we do not think we are meddling
with tho local affairs of our neigh
bors OF the Sixth District in thus en-.
dorsing the VOTERS opinion, for u
member in Congress from that Dis
trict, in part, represents this, the 7th
and the entire State. We have u
common interest In the selection OF
good men TO represent us In Congress
and the nomination OF none other
will meet with an endorsement at
the pells the eeming election. We
have an incopgruous and motley foe
to meet the coming canvass, and 1t
behooves the Republican party to
put forw ard their best and truest
men. This Is no time for policy or
TO try expedieDts. We had better
meet with defeat with good men,
than success with tricksters and dem
agogues. I1dioaoia Heguih.
The Standard says Hon. Mr..
Loughrldge signifies his willingness
to again be sacrificed on the altar of
his county, by being candidate for
reelection 20 Congress. We think the
Republicans of this District will not
be foolish enough to place Mr.. l.. in
nomination. 1t Is absolutely neces-
sary to the success of the Republican
ticket that men who have not sue
ceeded In making enemies OF large
portion of their political party be
put upon it. Large numbers at the
last Congressional election voted for
Mr.. l.. as the least of two evils. We
know Of many in this vicinity that
did. We expect to work, in our
humble way, for the success Of the
Republican ticket, but we cannot
work for Mr.. Loughridge. It's well
known that but two or three Re
publican newspapers in this District
gave him anything like hearty sup
port In the last canvass. Not deem
ing II, therefore, to the best interests
Of the Republican party to fight
against such odds, we thus early pro-
test against Mr.. Loughridge's NOM
ination to the Office which he has
consented to accept.--Edtdyu.etc Ad-
certiser.
"If the Republican party expects
to carry the District at the coming
election IL must make n judicious
and careful nomination"
