Every convenience by which out
side communities eare enabled to
reach our city, or to leave it, should
be priced very highly. We cannot,
(since we may have to wait some
time for 4 railroad have too many
pixies and graded roads, leading to
and from our town. We think real
economy to the county consists in
putting its roads and bridges in such
condition that they will need but
little repair for years. Good roads
increase the value Of property, help
to build up our towns. Besides en-
courages capitalists to come among
us, who buy up our mineral lands
and develop them; and also engage
in manufacturing pursuits. A mac
adamized pike should be built the

To TOBACCO GrowERs.-For the in,
formation of this and adjoining coun,
ties, and in reply to many inquiries
upon the subject We would state that
the L. 5. revenue laws impose nc
license upon persons who sell leaf to-
bacco of their own growing, but ii
prescribcs, under rigid penalties, to
whom such sales shall be made. \
tobacco producer may sell his leaf
without license) to a leaf dealer or
tobacco manufacturer, who has Ii,
:ense as such, but cannot sell, under
heavy penalties, to any other persons
\ man who raises tobacco in his
field or garden, and sells it to his
neighbors, is laying upon himself
heavy penalties, as the law strictly
prohibits every such transaction
Again, tobacco producer canno;
twist up his tobacco for the market
except he has a manufacturers Ii
cense; he can Only sell'to the dealer
or manufacturer "in hand" And
any country merchant or other ind,
vidual who either buys or sells the
tobacco known as country twisted
is guilty Of u serious iniraction Of the
law.

A Kentucky Postmaster has had &c
come out finally in the following
strain. All other postmasters, and
those who have been such officers
will appreciate his situation. There
is fellow feeling" among all trades
men. Let as many postmasters as
are in favor of adopting this schedule
of hints" say al" We believe the
motion has carried withouta dissent
ing voice.
HINTS FROM THE POSTMASTER
"When you call at the office 70,
your mail, and the Postmaster hands
it out, ask him if that is all. If you
ask for mail, and he tells you there
is none: tell him there ought to be.
Then go home and send all the rest
Of the family around to ask at diff.
fercnt times through the day. Don't
bring your mail to the Office until
the mail is closed, then curse The
Postmaster for not opening the mall
bag and putting your letter in.
When you want stamp on your let
ter, tell the Postmaster to put it on;
if he don't ike il lick him. In case
YOU put it on yourself, soak it IN
your mouth long enough to remove
the mucilage, it will then stick un-
til it is dry. Be sure and ask the
Postmaster to credit you for stamps;
if he has any accommodation about
him he will do il. ifyou havca box,
stand and drum on it until the Post
master hands out your mail;it makes
him feel good, especially ifhe is wait.
ing on somebody else. Be sure and
ask the Postmaster for your mail
while he is distributing, and before
the window is open for delivery"

A Caustc Review of Pisbuy's Politica
Course-Some Pregnant Questions.


HAssAN, Hennepin Co., Min, Aug. 9Th.
Ed. Ant-Monopolist:
The papers say that Mr.. Pillsbury is an
honest man ana good citizen; while others
say that politically he is just as bad man
as there is in the State | remember An
drew Jackson as an honest man. Whenever
his convictions of duty and right conflicted
with his party '.by the Eternal he stood
by his convictions. We all remember the
moral courage and honesty Of Horace
Greeley, who dared to condemn his party
whenever he thought the party wrong. We
can all admire man who when the interest
of his party conflicts with the interests OF
his country, will declare for his country:
and in proportion We car despise a man who
places his party above his country.
And now, | ask, has any one ever heard
Mr.. Pillsbury condemn anything the Re
publican party ever did? Has he not by
his votes in the Legislature helped to run
mp bill of over 81, 400, 900 for the farmers
ef this State to pay for the last two years
Has he not gone with the Rings in every
hing? If he had been a patriot last win
ter would he not have gotten up in his place
md declared that in the interest of his
country he should 60 for his country; and in
the interest of his country have cast his
vote for William Lochren? But no; he
kept voting right along for Ramsey every
time; for Ramsey man who had been
United States Senator for twelve years a
man who had voted for the Pacific Mail
Swindle, knowing it to be such, or not
knowing any thing about it, in either case
totally untitled TO be U. S. Senator.
If elected Governor, would not Pilsbury
place his party above the inter, sts of The
State? Would he not go with the Ring
who rule that they may plumber, and plum
der that they may rule?

We would request all our friends to
write us.ietters on politics, farming, or
anything else of general interest. Do
not write merely to write, but because
you have something of importance to
say that you feel ought to be said. Then
say it in the fewest words possible. The
fewer words the more readers.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
70 utter your thoughts in the fewest words,
And let them lie crisp and dry;
And when it is finished, and you suppose

Just look it over again. and then
Boil it down.
Never mind about the spelling and

Treasury bills, bottomed on taxes,

be found necessary. thrown into circnla-
ton, will take the place of SO much gold
and silver. Bank paper must be sup
pressed and the circulation restored to
the nation, to whom it belongs. "-Jefer-
sons letter to Mr.. Eppes, yol. 6 Of his
acorks.
"Gold and silver are not intrinsically
of equal value with iron. Their value
rests chiefly in the estimation they hap
pen to be in among the generality of ma
tons. ANY other well-founded credit is
as much an equivalent as gold and sill
yer. Paper money well founded. has
great advantage over gold and silver,
being light and convenient for handling
large sums, and not likely 10 have its

tation. On the whole, no method has
hitherto been formed to establish a me-
dunn of trade equal in all its advantages
to bills Of credit made general legal
tender,-Benj. Franklin. FOL. 4 p ST."
We must therefore use credit which
is but another name for paper money in
its different forms, bills, checks. notes.
etc.
We propose to use the credit Of the
nation as the basis for this greenback
currency Exactly as the so-called specie
system Great Britain does What forms
the basis OF the currency Of Great Britain?
Gold? No. The first thirty millions Of
bank notes, issued by the Bank of Eng
land, do not undertake to represent spe-
Gle. They represent 30 much money
owed by the government to the bank in
other words, they represent government
bonds, never paid and never expected 10
be paid. Precisely that is the basis we
propose to have for our greenback-th
nation. When the Bank OF England
nearly touched bankruptcy in 1925, 1883.
1888. 1847, 1857 and l666-what did she
ask OF the government, the loan Of gold?
She asked for the issue of exchequer bills
that is substantially government bonds
We mean to have greenbacks, 1t all
times convertible into government bonds,
at . low fixed rate Of interest; such
greenbacks to constitute the whole cur
