AcroStic Presidential.

Rise up, freemen, in your combined might;
Unhorse your foemen hip and thigh both
smite;
Till their hosts are scattered, broken up
their ranks,
Hang with tenacity on both their flanks;
Every man within this, our favor'd land
Rutherford B. Hayes can rightly under
stand
Feigning nothing, he scorns to wear
mask;
Open and candid, righting wrong his task,
Reform in him has sure and fast friend;
Democracy in this is-a big prctend
Battle, then, manfnlly for Hayes and
Wheeler;
Hurrah for both, for neither ones stealer.
Among the statesmen of our land there's
none
You'll name, better records shown;
Evincing honesty in all their deeds,
Scouting the actions of the Saoeenys, 7aeeeds;.
Whiteecas1ting now's fashionable process,
In science rivaling game of chess.
Let no guilty man escape" says gallant
Grant,
Let us elect the men who says they shan't.
In them we've got the men to suit the ma
ton,
AS both oppose "rag baby" and Imitation"
Mention of this reminds of fothers who
Aspire to Presidential honors too;
Who on this question are quite reticent,-
Hendricks, especially, hedges his intent
Every one can see the trick; it's old;
Every one knows it blows both hot and
cold.
Let's elect the men whose words are ever
found
Echoing the peoples-no uncertain sound
Right they are, let's rally them around

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
The Other Side.

Mr.. Editor Your "Cymro' again
comes in his might to demolish "a
Democrat and the democratic nomi-
nees. Many of his questions and as
sertions are to say the least, puerile
His claim that the late war was
caused by southern democrats is pos
tive prevarication of the facts and
true causes of that unpleasant trouble.
Let "Cymro" study the history of par
tyism prior to the war. We suggest
the Helpers programme as one Of the
text books to be used in the course.
The money question is one of mag
nitude, one that puzzles the wits of
wiser men than "Cymro" or Demo
crat.' When the government issued
bonds, gold was at a premium of $50
to 205. The bonds were hawked at
80 cents on the dollar in greenbacks
and freed from taxation. Moneyed
men sold their gold and received those
large premiums in paper currency;
then they bought up United States
bonds costing about forty cents per
dollar (face value) in gold. They are
paid six per cent. interest in gold on
the 5-2Os, and 7 $40 per cent. on the
7-3Os in currency. According to the
contract the principal at its face value
is payable in gold at maturity, (if gold
can be had. Hundreds of millions of
dollars of those bonds are held in for
eign countries, where greenbacks are
not "a circulating medium consequent
ly the interest on all those bonds must
be paid in gold. This drains deeply
the gold Golfers of our country, and,
with other foreign debts payable in
gold, creates large premium upon
that metal, and has made it an article
of merchandise instead of circulating
medium. The result is, gold is hoard
ed in the great money centres, like
Wall street, and kept for sale.
The republican party is not unit
on the financial question. AS a ma
tional party the democracy is nearer
unity in favor of early resumption of
specie payments.
We can and do fully endorse the
Syracuse mottos of Mr.. Tilden, parad-
ed in 1864. Will "Cymro' swallow
without coat of sugar mottos from
the Helpers programme, book pub
lshed prior to the war, and endorsed
by sixty-eight of the republican del
ties ? We give him one or two to be-
gin with:
Slavery we will abolish if it costs the life
ofevery white man in the South.
We will abolish slavery at every hazard
if not peaceably we will not spare bullets,
Now, "Cymro, do you want more ?
If so, you can have your desire salts
fed.
"Mr. Tilden in 1864 used his infu-
ence to defeat Mr.. Lincoln" Now,
"Cymro," he didn't do that-did he ?
O, dear, a terrible crime the demo-
cratic copperhead, using his influence
to defeat the unconditional despot.
Treason treason he should have
been guillotined con the spot !"
"Cymro," you dear old boy, you must
certainly give us another chapter of
Tildenic history, if your last is true
specimen of your biographical skill.
Yes, "Cymro." pass us another at opce
it's good; the children cry for it.

But you forgot to eulogize Hayes and
Wheeler. I'll do it for you Hayes
In Congress favored and worked for
the great salary-grab and back-pay
steal ; received both and forgot to re-
turn either. Wheeler was champion
in all the railroad subsidy bills, credit
mobllier, and, in fact, all the pecula-
tive, mercenary, and party-serving
acts of Congress he proved himself
the willing, plenipotent funambulist,
in all the republican horde of venality
and fraud.
Such men as these, whose public ca
reer is marked by an unbroken chain
of rapacity, fraud, self and party ap
preparation of national funds and prop
erty, you present for popular support,
and, with scurrile gasconade, boast
their many virtues, and laud their
righteousness to the skies. You prom
Use us to reform, (the Lord knows
there's room y you promise anything.
But, "Cymro," the guise is too thin
to hide your shallow pretensions the
peoples credulity has been imposed
upon too long and often to further
credit their threadbare forms of decep-
ton. They have come in this role be-
fore; this time it fails. Give us some
thing new.
The democracy present Tilden and
Hendricks, men of integrity, honor,
ability, and proved reformers, states
men tried and found of full, honest
weight; gentlemen who have gained
prominence by performing enormous
works of reformation in their own
states; men of herculean strength of
mind and will men who are educated
in battles for retrenchment and REFORM
men whose indomitable persistence
has broken up rotten political jobs in
their own parties, having achieved
complete triumph over bowling
hordes of political poltroons in their
own states these men solicit your
votes to elect them to positions where
they may pursue the same course of
purltication in our national offices,
those positions Of trust which now
emit the stencil of rottenness. Under
their judicious management they will
be cleansed and purified; our natiou
will be no longer disgraced by an ex-
ecutive connected with whisky rings,
granite quarries, and Emma silver
mines, or bought by gifts and perquis-
ties, as the present incumbent has
been.
If "Cymro' is not satisfied with this,
l will not object to furnishing proofs
of all assertions made by

land Herald from the pen of for
mer resident of this county, the talent
ed Inspector of Mines of Ohio, Mr.
Andrew Roy, will be of interest to
many Of our readers:
COLUMBUS. July, Goth, 1876.
In noticing the strike of the Cape Bre.
ton miners, and the lawless acts of the
strikers, in yesterdays Herald, you ask
"what is there about coal mining that
makes lawless outrage and attempted MUIR

the result of twenty five years experience,
as a practical miner in the states of Mary
land, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio,
Illinois, Kentucky and Arkansas.
We have already $4,000 coal miners in
Ohio and before the close of the presen
century this number will have increased
to $4,000 Not single year rolls around
that does not witness some great strike in
some one or other of the various coal fields
of the state accompanied with more or less
outrage against persons and property
Something is wrong which makes such
state Of affairs possible.
The general public has no patience and
seldom any sympathy with miners in their
wages disputes with their employees, and
regard as consumate folly the policy which
seeks redress for grievances, real on imag.
mary, through strikes. The mine owners
blame the leaders and agitators at the
mines for causing the trouble, and the pub
lie have accepted this view as the facts in
the case. But this is more apparent than
real. Men would not continue to strike
year after year, in the face of repeated los.
ses and disasters, denying themselves and
their children the comforts and the neces-
saries of life, and consuming the fruits of
previous earnings, for no other reason than
because leaders and agitators tell them to
do so. All men profit by experience, and
even children cease playing with edged
tools when they find they cut both ways
The peculiar surroundings of the mines
are the foundation of many long and
disastrous strike, A plant deprived of the
light of day, though carefully nourished
with all the o-her elements of growth and
life, is never as vigorous as one which
basks in Gods sunlight. So it is with
man deprivation of solar light, the awful
gloom of the mine, and the noxious airs
which lurk there, have their influence ON
both the body and mind of the miner.
Constant labor in badly aired mine
breaks down the constitution and clouds

THE AMERICAN CYCLoPEDIA,

and refinemen Of social life. Great wars
and consequent revolutions have occurred,

Directions for Using

Out one-half pound of Soap into small
y shavings and dissolve in five gallons
of hot water, and then put in as many pie
ces of clothes as the solution will cover, let
them soak 3 or 10 minutes; then little
hand rubbing will make them as clean as
hours of hard machine rubbing would do
with ordinary soap.
When clothes are not much soiled, no
rubbing is required
Wiring them out of the solution, then
treat them the same as though they had
been washed in the ordinary way.
When one lot of clothes is removed from
the solution, replace with another
This Soap is warranted perfectly free
from anything injurious, and careful ana
lysis has proved that its ingredients cannot
mjure the finest fabrics. 1t is also an ex-
cellent Shaving Soap. For cleaning Paint,
use Il sponge or cloth saturated with the
solution; 1t will leave the paint bright and
uninjured; the repeated use of it ON painted
wood tends to make its glossy.
For removing Paint, Grease Spots, &c,
from Clothing, dip one end of the Soap in
hot water and rub on the soied spots; then
with linen towel and warm water, wash
the Soap off; if the spots are of long stand
ing, repeat the operation.
This Soap being very dry and pure does
not dissolve easily, but must be Thoroughly
Boiled in water to make it dissolve.
