New Postage Law.

The law relating to prepayment of postage on newspapers takes effect on and after January l, 1875, alter which date subscribers to any paper will not be an noyed by payment Of postage. The amount is not much to publishers-only two cents per pound for all papers mailed for offices out of the county where pub lished. In enacting this law, Congress acted wisely. It will be great relief to postmasters and subscribers to papers published out of their county; the former will be relieved from keeping accounts and presenting quarterly bills for few cents, and the latter from the annoyance of frequent duns and payment. It is by all odds better that all mail received into mail bags, should be prepaid. We notice that publishers generally announce no increase of price because they have to pay the postage, and THE CITIZEN will be as heretofore s5 per year and postage paid.

Farmers and Merchants.

G. +. Clarkson, editor of the agri-
cultural department of the Register,
says a great MAJ Y good things with
his pen, and here is one of his best
articles:
Whatever we have said heretofore
relative to farmers holding on to
the products of their farm until it
would sell for the cost of production,
was never intended to interfere with
the first great duty of all men to
meet all their contracts, and pay all
their matured debts. If farmer has
purchased of the merchant on credit,
with a promise to pay SO soon as the
crops could be marketed, let nothing
induce one of them to forget his
word. A mans honor Is worth
more than wheat, hogs or money.
The merchant has favored the farm
er with the necessaries during the
summer until his capital is nearly
invested in such promises, and un-
less the farmer promptly meets his
contracts, the merchant has to renew
his stock on credit, which means
thirty per cent. dearer than for cash.
Then he loses his customers, and ii
the farmer continues his custom
(which he is i'm honor bound to dol
he has to pay higher for goods.
Think seriously. Ii is not one, hut
i'm many cases whole neighborhoohs,
have bought on credit, and probably
that same neighborhoOd have held
secret meetings 10 devise ways to
hold their produce. But at the same
time they should devise ways to pre-
serve m untarnished credit. IL l.
impossible for a man to even respect
himself. If he, for gain, furfeits his
word. SO soon as q man, when ne
goes to town, avoids his old friend
who has favored him, he knows in
his own heart that he is not an hon
est man. And who is willing TO en-.
dure lacerated conscience for bet
ter price for his hogs? Pay up, and
then be independent, and be able to
meet and face all men.
This is the time Of the year when
we would press home with force the
great necessity Of punctuality. Get
out OF this dilemma, and then by
economy and close management
avoid all such situations In the fn-
tnre. So long AZ you are In debt
and the time has come for payment,
the wheat In you're bins, the corn In
your fields and the hogs In your pens
ARE not yours They belong to an.
other. Take them home. Pay your
debts. II makes Indifference If they
are cheap. Honor Is worth more
than per cent. All our advice about
standing firm with the products OF
[+tr- farm, ure or,Ip foe those .'ha
have right to do With their own as
they please. Pay first, then II Is no
ones business whether you sell now

The Newton Headlight (Rep.) is in
hot pursuit of the Independent tAnti-
Monop.) with the following square
interrogatory and demands y square
reply:
In case the contest in Iowa and
throughout the country is directly
between Republicanism and Democ-
racy, what position will the hide
pendent take? AS a public journalist
we ask fair and square reply. His
subscribers have right to know
where he stands, and the course he
intends to pursue"
The same question should be kept
before several other papers within
forty miles of Newton and Knox
vile. They have repeatedly said
that the Republican and Democratic
parties are both equally bad. Now
since the bottom has utterly fallen
out of the middle road which they
declared so good and the only road
passable, these wise and extremely
"honest" newspaper lights should
be found shining upon some path
and assisting their bewildered fol-
lowers out of the Anti-Monop.
slough in which they are hopelessly
floundering. Choose your path, gen

Railroad.

Again railroad is the absorbing
theme of conversation upon our
streets and it is unanimously deci-
ded thateomething must be done to
secure Z road during the year 1875,
and thati It must be done right here
at homet that the road must be built
and owned and operated If necessary
by homecapital and home men-that
we havp waited long enough upon
others, end receive only kicks and
broken hedges for our patience. The
railroad companies tell us they are
not ready and for twenty years We
have wd3ted for them to bring us a
road, an in vain. Now our people
begin to1conclude that the only way
to secure u road is to build it.
Such cling the sentiments very
freely and generally expressed it is
now praoty well settled that our peo-
pie are ore generally agreed than
ever bef3re that something must be
done and that soon and literally. If
new company is to be organized, as
some prefer, the present is not too
soon to begin. At all events all pre-
liminary work should be done this
winter, including surveys; and in
the sprieg we should be ready for the
real work on the line.
