back currency now and forever, coupl-
ed with great and permanent imitation
but for reasons that have partly stat
ed, and others that l have no time to-
state, believe that these men are
comparatively few in number. The
truth is that there is a wide diversity
of opinion among the people ofall part
les upon this subject. There are DEM
ocratic hard money men and Democrat
ic paper money men; Republican hard
money men and Republican paper
money men; Democratic resumptiOnists
and Democratic intiationists, and Re-
publican resumptionists, and Repub-
lican infiationists. The question is not
strictly party question. Honest men
of all PARTIES may be found on its Oppo-
iste sides, and so it has ever been after
every great panic by which the coun-
try has been afflicted. / have not
heard an argument, pro or con, that
has not been advanced hundred times
in Europe and America before the pam
ic of 1873. But in the end truth is sure
to prevail, and in the mean time hard
words and bitter accusations serve no
good purpose. No man has firmer con-
victions on this subject than l have.
They are the result of much experience
and of long, patient and conscientious
study. l have expressed them time

ocrat all my life, and when and where
to be Democrat was to be politically
ostracised. l have clung to the party
in its darkest hours as well as in its
brightest with something akin to de-
vetion, because my head and my heart
approved its fundamental principals.
l yet look to it as destined to restore to
the Republic constitutional, honest and
economical Government, to promote
fraternal feelings between all its parts,
and to perpetuate free institutions for
ages to come; and 1 cannot, by any
word of mine, contribute 10 its over
throw. l know that it is not infallible,
for no party is infallible. l know that
it has committed errors, and that every
party has committed them; but L also
know that its fundamental principles
are sound, and that its purposes are
honest and patriotic. 1t therefore well
deserves and commands my support,
and although my influence may be
small and my service little worth, il
has just claim to them both that l

Rag.MOney Blunderers.

New York Word (Dem.) July ~.
The Ohio platform-makers have i'm
periled an election which might have
been of the greatest value to the DEM
ocratic party and to the whole country.
1t is true, Ohio has. never once been
carried, in Presidential election,
against the Republican party, thanks to
these very same rag-money blunder-
ers, who we're the peace-at-apy-price
men of 1864 and the bond-repudiators
of 1868, the passive-policy men of 1872.
True, Ohio has never been carried in a
gubernatorial election by clear DEM
ocratic majority against the Republi-
can party. for Allen slipped in by a
bare plurality of S17, because 10000
temperance votes were cleverly drawn
off from the Republican ticket. 70
have carried Ohio this fall therefore
on sound platform, with an equally
excellent ticket, would have been a
real and genuine advantage to the
Democracy of the whole Union. De-
feat in such cause would have done
no great harm, for there are some States
which will certainly go Republican in
the Presidential election, and Ohio has
never done anything else hitherto.
But now success itself will have an
appreciable drawback, and defeat will
have no consolation for those who are
defeated. Nothing is of such future
Importance to honest men of our party
in Ohio as that they cast out from their
leadership the Cincinnati demagogues
whose guidance hereafter as heretofore
would only plunge the Democratic
party of Ohio and of the whole Union
into the ditch of disastrous over.

Reasons why no True Man
Should Vote the Democrat
ic Ticket of Ohio.

1sT. Because the Democratic party in
principle are opposed to the Union as
established by the Constitution, in op-
position to a confederation of States.
The old confederacy abolished is the
favorite of the Bourbon Democracy,
the life principle of the lost cause
ID. That party sympathized with the
rebellion-gave aid and comfort to reb-
els-opposed the government in sup
pressing armed rebellion, and still
cherishes the spirit that animated and
armed the shareholders rebellion.
Sd. 1t opposed the issue of greenback
legal tender currency under extraordi-
nary circumstances of military necessity
for the life OF the Union, and now ia
vors the same under ordinary circum-
stances when the safety of the country
demands no such extraordinary proce-
dure. What was unconstitutional as
dire war measure, becomes constitu-
tional as a mere Democratic party
measure!
4TH. Because it favors a Roman
Catholic sectarian policy, as in New
York, and the Ohio Geghan bill, for
which no other consideration deman-
ded any such special legislation. Ali
sects had equal privileges. without it,
and nothing prompted it but Catholic
votes, The Democratic party is in
market, to be bought or sold.
5. Because it tampers with the in-
tegrity of our free schools, shows par
tiality to particular sect in hostility
to our Republican free school system.
6. Because without fixed principle
it is ever changing on vital questions
of policy land interest-one while for
hard money, another for paper infla-
tion-one while for protective tariff,
another against it-one while profess
sing friendship for the Union, another
sympathy for State rights paramount,
the right of secession and dissolution
rather than control secession and rebel
lion-one while pro-slavery, another
anti-slavery for votes.
7TH. Because in sympathy with the
liquor traffic, and opposed to all 'sumpt-
uary laws tending to interfere with
whisky making, selling Or drinking.

How TO PREVENT RUsTING. Boiled
linseed oil will keep polished tools from
rusting, if it is allowed to dry on them.
Common sperm oil will prevent from rust
ing for short period. \ coat Of copal is
frequently applied 10 polished tools expos
ed to the weather. Wooden materials are
the best for wrappers for metals. Iron and
steel goods of all descriptions, are. kept free
from rust by the following: Dissolve half
an ounce of camphor in ono pound of hogs
lard, take off the scum and mix as much
black lead as will give the mixture an iron
color. Iron and steel, and machinery of all
kinds, rubbed over with this mixture and
left with it on for twenty-four hours, and
then rubbed with a linen cloth, will keer

about one-half pint of small, sound, ripe
white beans; wash and rinse them put
the meat and beans into about six or eight
quarts Of water, and boil moderately ill

FARMING A DULL BUSINESS. Talking
with very bright and ambitious young
woman, farmers daughter, where we
stopped over night, she said farming was
dull sort of life. Eyes," said young man
of tweuty-two years, "there Is no incentive
TO work. II is all hum drum routine, and
hard wOrk--no relaxation of effort and
nothing to stimulate the mind" "What
nonsense" we replied. "There is every
thing for a stimulus. Each farm is a world
itself, about which those who have liz ed
upon it know little or nothing, compare
lively. Suppose, for example, we were TO
ask how many kinds of grasses-real grass
es-grow on your farm. Could you tell
us, with their correct names, habits and
hlstoryS Suppose we ask You how many
species of plants are indigenous on your
farm, and the names of these plants, time
of Towering, color of flowers, soil, and To-
cality in which they grow. Could you tell
us? Suppose we were 10 ask you how
many species of birds visit your farm every
year, the time Of their arrival and depart
ure, their habits while with you, their
names, and their habits while absent
from your locality the balance of the year.
Could you tell us? Suppose we ask you
how many species of insects are to be found
on your farm their NAMES, history, habits;
whether injurious to you or not; upon
what trees or plants they live; when and
how often they appear and how long they
stay. Could you tell us? Suppose we ask
you TO show us specimens Of the grasses
and other plants, the birds, insects, ETC.,
which may be gathered within your
boundary fences. Could you show them
10 us? And yet, if you were TO undertake
to acquire the knowledge we have suggest
ed by these inquiries, you would find your
life TOO short. Yet the knowledge you
would gain, the interest you would soon
take in it, and the knowledge of your own
impotency you would acquire, would
prove TO you that it is not the farm that is
duh place, but it is you who are dnll."-

The TREATMENT OF GOLD FIsH.--The
following paragraph appeared in the Scion
tifc American:
For each quart of water only one fish as
gold fish cannot thrive ii crowded. DO
not change the source of water, whether
f, ON well or hydrant. In summer renew
it daily, in winter only every second or
third day. Shallow glass dishes should
not he used. They should be deep, and
kept in the shade, strong light and heat
ed room being detrimental 10 the fish. The
bottom of globe should be covered with
smooth gravel TO absorb the excrements
and keep the water clean. In changing the
water for cleaning The globe, take out the
fish with a fine net, but never with the
hand. Do not feed them bread or cake, or
any food containing tannin, hut give them
waters, ant eggs, flies, yolk Of eggs, water
cross, &C., but only once in three or four
days, and then sparingly. In the months
Of November, December, January aud
February the fish should not be fed at all,
as this is their hybernatng season and food
in this season is unnatural. In March,
April and May they should be fed scan
tily.
The following, in another exchange, falls
under our eye as we write:
Gold fish may be kept ten or twelve
years, (their average period of existence,)
by using the following precautions:
l. Allow not more than one fish to two
quarts of water.
.. Use the same kind OF water, whether
well or river change it every other day in
summer, and twice each week in winter.
8. Keep clean sand and pebbles at the
bottom, washing it occasionally or replac-
ing with a fresh supply.
4. Use a small net rather than the hand
while changing the wafer.
5. Feed with cracker, yolk Of egg, let
tuce or flies, once each week, except in
cold weather. Feed but little at time
Remove any crumbs that may remain or
the surface after feeding.
8. Do not feed at all from November IC
the end Of February, aud but little during
the following three months.
7. If there are growing plants in The
aquarium, water need I've changed but rare
