SATURDAY was a good day for cam
paiSn speech-Inaking in Ohio, and we
surrender considerable space this morn
ing TO Tie iui. teyt of three notable eff
forts in that line. Senator Thurman
spoke at Mansfield, the feature OF bis
address being the portion devoted TO the
tlnansiag plank in the Democratic plat
form in that SjaIe, and Which was Ia
bored effort TO reconcile thai pink with
the growing hard-mOney sentiment OF
OF the country His effort was an in
genious en5, b5.t its success was not very
marked His ihdnigenGs in a little
Bourbonic pride over the record ot tle
Democratic party, and his State-rights
platitudes were pardonable; and his
statements regarding the corruptions
that baye prevailed in the Government
during the Republican regime are MOTTO
be gilinsaid. He addressed Demosret-
ic mass meeting, and his remarks must
have been listened TO by that gathering

disgust and acquiescence- - Chicago

NOT MORE BUT BETTER MONEY.

The value of the national currency is
20 per cent. higher now than it was in
1866. No one need be told that said
currency is not now at par; but the
above stated fact shows that it is nearer
at par now than it was nine years ago.
that is, its purchasing value has been
enhanced one-fifth in nine years. This
has been the result of the policy Of the
Republican party, and this we take to
be the policy of the party in future
We hold that we have money enough
for legitimate business, and that what
we want is not more money, but better
money. Nopolicy of imitation will give
the laborer dollar unless he works for
it, and the value of that dollar to him
is just in proportion as it approaches or
recedes from the coin value
We need a revival of business; we
need more work for the laborer, and
good money to pay him with, and any
scheme which depreciates the value of
the current dollar the one-hundredth
part of one per cent. is injurious to the
business interests of the country just in
proportion to such depreciation. On
the other hand, any policy that will en-
hance the value of the current dollar,
having due regard for providing the
country with a sufficient volume OF
circulating medium, is the one which
will best subserve the interests OF all
classes.
We are 70 reach a specie basis, then,
not by imitation nor contraction, (cer-
tainly not the former but by revival
of business, and by genuine friend
ship and a mutual agreement between
labor and capital TO break down the
lines which deInagOgues have set up
between them. Their interests are
identical, and no serious evil can over
take the one that will not affect the
Others He who attempts to array labor
against capital, OR rice Uersa, is dema-
gogue of the first water.
Let workingmen e&amjpe the facts
before allowing themselves to be led
away by the sophistFy hidden under the
polish of initiation rhetoric. We have
enough paper money; it is only neeeSa-
ry to have it properly circulated. This
will come through a restoration of bus
iness prosperity, and to bring this about
should be the aim of all good citizens.

PREPARING WHEAT LANDS.

The following article, on an important
subject, is from the pen Of practical
and successful farmer. 1t Itreached ustoo
late for insertion under its proper head,
but we feel anxious that it should appear
in good time, and have, therefore, given
it a place on our inside pages.-EDs.
JEFF
Now, as soon a. it stops raining. and
the ground gets dry enough, is the time
TO prepare the ground for wheat. This
cannot be done too soon. II is great
mistake to wait until just before seeding
time, and then plow your ground, and
SOW your wheat on newly -plowed ground.
The ground should be plowed deep and
left exposed to the sun at least several
weeks before sowing; in the mean time
it should be worked with the harrow and
wheeled cultivator, to pulverize the
ground and keep ths weeds down. You
can save time and money by using large
drag, made in sections, and fastened to-
gether with hinges, so as to adapt itself
to the uneven ground, and by using three
horses. One man with three horses and
such harrow will do rs much work, in
the same length of time, as two men will
do with four horses and two small har-
rows. Putting weight on a small har-
row to break the clods is great waste oil
time and labor. After you get the sur
face we'll pulverized, then take wheeled
cultivator, made for the purpose, and
stir up the clods to the surface again, and
then harrow it a second or even third
time, if necessary. Now open your
| drains. or water burrows, with plow:
make them deep, and clean them out
with three-cornered or V shaped imple-
ment, which any farmer can make out
of q two-inch plank, in this wise: Take
three pieces of two-inch plank, six or
seven feet long, and eight inches wide;
put one in the center, and fasten one on
each side, so It will be in the shape of a
three-cornered harrow. Let the middle
piece protrude in front, and to that fas-
ten a large shovel-plow shovel. For a
temporary concern the outside pieces can
be spiked against the middle piece, and
scantling spiked across the back end to
keep them in place. IfyOu want good
utensil, with little more expense, you
can fasten the outside pieces to the CEN
terp-iece with strong hinges, and have
the back part fastened together with
iron rods so you can widen or narrow it
at pleasure. With such an implement
you can make ditch as deep as your
ground is plowed, with sloping sides, over
which your reapers will pass very nicely.
Every farmer knows how difficult it is to
pass over deep, narrow bitches with a
reaper. If you follow these directions
think you will avoid many difficulties,
and raise much better wheat than you
generally do. FARMER.

THAT to increase or initiate the curren-
cy would be a monstnous wrong is evil
dent to any man; for it would be merely
an increase of promises to pay, or of the
existing volume of indebtedness. On the
other hand, a reduction of the volume
of the currency is merely payment of
Indebtedness; and there ars processes for
a gradual reduction which will prove
ayailing without disaster, If not too hard
iy pressed. Economy in expenditure,
with the payment of debts, by Govern
ments and indiy iduals, afford the only
solution Of present evils.-ALbGny Argus,

Beaver, Utah, July 14.-John d.
Lee has turned states evidences and
will be a witness for the prosecution
and make n full statement OF all he
knows of the mountain meadow mas
sacre. The cause Is said to be that he
believed he was to be sacrificed to ap-
pease the wrath of the government and
shield more guilty parties, by perjury,
If necessary. There is a strong feeling
in favor of Dame on the part of the
people from Southern Utah who are
here as witnesses, many of whom were
concerned in the massacre, and they
evince great animosity towards Lee.
Bishops Homes and Spicer, counsel
for Lee, have advised him to tell the
entire story, and believe it to be the
only way 70 save their client, as well
as to give to the world the whole par
ticulars of this bloody affair. 1t is said
by those who are most closely connected
with the trial, that there are plenty of
witnesses here to corroborate all OF
Lees statements, which will convict
w. H. Dame and many other high
Mormon authorities, and explain fully
everything connected with the mas
