School Books.

Some school book publisher
has sent US a long argument
from the State Superintendent
Of public Instruction of MIN.
nesota against the adoption OF
an uniform series of school
books for that State. he, or
they, are wasting their sweet.
ness on the desert air. We
have seen and telt too much
OF the school book monopoly to
be deceived by their special
pleas. The argument is intend.
ed to influence public opinion
on the Mccoy school book law
now pending in the. Ohio Leg.
islature, hut it appears from
the reading of the pamphlet
that it scarcely touches the
chief merit of the Mccoy bill,
which is to break down the
present Infamous tax on the
acquisition OF knowledge by
the children of the State. That
the bill will meet with opposi.
tlon from some of the promi
nent educators" of the State
we have no doubt. 1t has been
the policy of the school book
publishers TO place the "educa-
tors" under Obligations to them
by frequent presents OF books
of their own publications, and
furnishing other books of a
mi scellaneOus character to
them at Wholesale prices, and
otherwise, perhaps, when "edu
Gators were susceptible. In
f1nence from this class, and all
other influences, honorable and
dishonorable, will be brought
to bear to defeat the bill, and
the people, who are interested
in cheap school books, should
let their Representatives hear
from them on this subject.

From The IrOntOn Journal. -.
The iron market throughout
the country is still very dull,
with no decided opinions a; to
the prospects of its becoming
more active. The sales of pig
metal are very small indeed
and we'can learn of no heavy
deliveries for the demand nor
any large contracts for the
season. This is perhaps due to
the TACT that many of the mills
now in operation have curtailed
their consumption more than
one half; they are running Old
half.time and thus the con
sumption Of pig metal by the
mills is very much restricted.
Many of the rail mills that are
now in operation are handling
large quantities of old rails
which curtails their consump-
ton OF pig IRON 1t Is said that
there is strong hope in some
sections that the year 1874
will be remarkably prosperous,
but however this may be, il is
manifest we are far behind the
usual volume of business al
this season. We hope how
ever, these predictions will
prove correct.

WE are glad to welcome the
Ross County Register to the
ranks of the prescribed. The
saloon keepers of ChilIicothe,
in pursuance of their resolu-
ton to withdraw their patron
age from all who favored the
woman's temperance move
ment, have come down on the
Register with-"StOp my pa
perl" They shouldn't have
done this, for the Register is
just now telling some truths
that the saloon keepers should
heed, and they only make
themselves ridiculous in their
puny efforts to strike back
They ought 10 know that news
papers feed and grow fat on
what is poison to individuals,
and what they don't like to
read, their neIghbors are hun
genDg for. II the ladies OF
Chillicothe are true to them
seiyes-as We have no doubt
they will be-the Register will
be a red bot local paper alter

A School Book Item.

Twenty years ago McGufey's
spelling book retailed at ten
cents per copy. Since that
time the machinery for the
manufacture OF books has been
SO improved that their first cost
has been materially reduced,
yet they now retail al twenty
cents per copy. When they
sold at ten cents per copy
they bore on the back, as an
advertisement these words
a million copies sold
annually" Now if we sup.
pose the sale of this book has
not increased since that time,
and that they can not be pro
duced any cheaper now than
they were twenty years ago
both of which suppositionS are
IN favor of the publisher-the
amount of tax paid by the peo-
pie to the school book monop
oily on this one insignificant
little spelling book would
be ten cents per copy, and on
the half million copies sold an.
nually, it would be $4,000.
If the school book ring can
steal $4,000 a year on the
meanest little book they pub
llsh, on an estimate OF
twenty years ago, how much
Can they steal on the hundred
higher priced books they COM

I The great revival in Jackson
still continues Last Sunday
night fifteen persons joined The
M. E Church, and among them
DIR. Laird, Mayor of jackson,
John M. Martin, Postmaster,
etc. We have abandoned the
idea of publishing the names OF
those who have joined the Pres.
byterian and NJ. E. Churches,
as there must now be n Q a r
three hundred. But we will
mention some of those who are
prominently known in I h i 8
county. There are ]. X. Booth
VIM. s. Baker, Asa A. Farrar,
John d. Mitchell, HIllborn,
O. Miller, Elihu johnson, DIR.
q. X. Orumit, George W.
johnson, David D. DUNCAN,
Irvine DUNCAN, A. j. Dover,
W. T. Washam, Charles O.
James, and so on. Every coun,
ty officer, with perhaps one ex
ception, is a member of some
church. Every clerk and de-
putty, with perhaps one except
ION, is also a member of some
one oil the churches.
One of the most remarkable
results of the great revival in
Jackson is t h 9 almost utter
ruin OF the b i n g s 8 oil the
liquor sellers, and the large in
crease in the sales OF beef, and
other neceSsaries Of lille. Men
who spent every cent they
could raise for strong drink now
buy the necessaries a n d COM
forts OF life for their families.
We learn that two OF the liquor
sellers have voluntarily qnit
the business, while the sales OF
meat by the butchers have al
most doubled.
