Times arc remarkably dull for

Times arc remarkably dull for
this season, and many predict that
the year will be hard one for all
classes and trades. Money, it is
thought, will be very scarce until
the gathering of the crops in the
fall. If this be SO, credit will also
DO stringent, and the fortunate ones
who have money to lend will exact
large interest therefor. In this
connection we would suggest to all ,
to exercise the very clio sest, strict
est economy, and that all start out
this early with the determination to
live as much within self as possible.
Let our friends in the country en-
deavor to produce as far as posi-
BILE all articles of comsumptl on.
Our town friends, too, should en-
deavor to turn every available spot
of garden ground to profit, Let
everybody produce more and buy
less. This is the only way to make
credit and to reduce prices. Let
the rule once prevail that goods are
seeking purchasers, instead of pur-
chasers, the goods, and prices will
come down. If our people would
look back twelve or thirteen years,
and practice some of the principles
of economy and thrift that obtained
during tho war, we would soon
emerge from the troubles that now
distress us. We can but try.

A Washington dispatch to the
St. Louis Globe Democrat says, that
it ID understood the Ways and
Means Committee are preparing q
great surprise for the country, and
that within the present month there
will be sprung upon the House a
tariff bill radical in its charges.
The free list is to be increased, the
tax on tea and coffee restored, the
customs revenue to be collected
from articles on which q specific
duty can be imposed, and the COM
plicatsd workings of the tariff sys-
TEN abolished. With these changes
it is said the revenue force of Off
Gals can be largely reduced, the
opportunities for smuggling and
evading duties very much diminish.
ed, and the cost of collecting the
revenue cut down in every direc-
ton. The Western Democrats ia
vor the revival of the income tax
to offset the tax on tea and coffee
but it is not believed such o recon-
mendation will be adopted.

One ot, if not the mcst potent
reason for opposition 10 the Nation
al administration and to our state
administration, has been and is o.
the part of all Democrats and Con-
servatives. on account of the central
ixation of power in the hands of
few public servants. The idea
seems to prevail with many officials
that the moment they are elevated
to position they become lords and
masters of the people who have
conferred upon them positions of
honor and distinction-that they
arc no longer servants of the peo-
pie. We find this in Mr.. Grant and
his little coterie we find it in Mr..
Ames and his few hangers on and
placemen.
The result of the late election in
our state signifies that the people,
the CT eating power, are not willing
to concede to their public SER
wants such powers. The voice of
the people as expressed in the bal
lot is that they-the peopls-have
rights that must be respected, and
that there must be al end to the
custom that has prevailed and that
threatened to take the reins of gov
eminent from the creators and place
them forever in the hands of the
creatures, the servants of the peo-
pie. Should the people surrender
the reins fgovernment to their rep
rescntatives, should they submit
quietly and patiently to the will OF
their servants, 1t will not be long
before they will have passed into a
condition out of which there is no
escape but by revolution. 1t is
well then that we should 60 slow,
and in all measures, no matter how
small. wherein tho public interest Is
involved that we should require of
public servants and Off Gals that
the will OF the people be observed

While VIC approve cfevery meas
ure Of our Board OF Supervisors,
looking to economy, and will al.
ways be ready to accord to them
full praise for their efforts to spare
the taxpayers from unnecessary
expense, still we think there is such
q thing as OVERRIDING matters. We
hardly think it is right for our Su-
pervisors to defer action on certain
claims and accounts against the
county, for the reason that there
are no funds in the treasury. Some
thing should be done with these
claims when presented, if they are
just and right. If there is no mon
ey to draw against, wo think it
would be well, and only an act of
Justice to tho claimant, to certify
bis account. This, while it might
not be as valuable as warrant,
would at least answer as collater-
III to raise money on, until such
time as there would be money in
the treasury against which to war
rant. AS it is, parties have perfect
ly good claims against tho county,
which are worthless to them in
their present state. We trust that
our Supervisors, at their next meet
ing, if il is lawful for them to do SO,
will certify all such claims.and re-
quire them to be registered. This
will do no harm to the Taxpayers,
and will be of much benefit to those
who hold claims against the county.
