GOVERNOR HAYES.


| extracts from Governor Hayes lettei
OF acceptance to the National Re

letter is too long for our columns,
We present the leading paragraphs

ter of the writer. who is before the
people as candidate for the highest
office within their gift. The extracts
will repay perusal, and those who

corresponds exactly with the remarks
which the author made at his home
in Fremont, Ohio, when gathering
of his personal friends OF both par

graduate him upon his nomination.
We read the full report Of the speech
made on that occasion as published
In The Fremont Journal, and were
convinced that the speaker, il his
whole character was IN accordance
with as much of it as there appeared,
was Just the sort Of man to be Presi-

50 much in need OF a finished scholar

TAYLOR and the lauriei of Reno.
The sacred Nine have been pretty
busy responding for a few weeks
past, and in many cases they must
after the agonies OF composition sre
passed and they look with cool
brain upon their performances, feel
ashamed. The pact of Muddy Bar
sang:
Freedom spreads to-day her wings
And hovers Ger the land.
While all the air with music sings
Aad pssri0sisin in eAch bosom springs,
And joys ca every hand.
And the audience felt compli-
mented. and returned the compli-
ment to the poet by applauding.
The people Of Muddy Bar are to be
pitied. We observe that in San
Jose, in Genoa AID in Trnckee,
ladies read original poems, and they
were better than the average. They
were not calculated to remind one
of Mrs. Hemens. ilice Carey OF
Elizabeth B. Browning, but they
showed that there are several women
through the country who can write
poetry. 1t is seonsela,ion to know

the growing insufficiency OF grain crops
to meet home consumption in Germany
gives rise to much anxiety in Berlin.
According to the Berlin Mercantile Re-
port, the excess of grain imports over
exports during the past year were as
follows: Wheat 100000 centners !;
rye, IL 100000 centners; barley, 2,133,
900 centners oats and corn, from 1000,
900 to 100000 centners: total. 10000,
900 centners,o about 17.636,sOO cent
ners, valued at S27 $40 900.
It is claimed that the increase OF acre.
age is not in proportion to the popula>
ton, and that even q more extensive
culture will not meet the increased con-
sumption. Cultivable land in Germany
is already quite fully utilized and agri.
cultural production consequently limited
in its increase The area gained by
claiming ard retaining land does not
exceed what is appropriated to manu-
featuring. Within the last few years
railways have taken UP several hundred
thousand acres.
The raising of grain is becoming less
profitable from year to year and
farmers are turning their attention to
sugar beets, tobacco. oleaginous plants,
fruit, etc. Increase in stock ralsln 9
necessitates a more extensive, culture Of
forage plants. 1t is said that the area OF
profitable cultivation has actually de-
creased while the cost of labor has adj
vanced.

the contract for the payment Of the prin-
cipal OF the bonds. In 1878, while the
people slept. They stole away the pow

ment
Now, after having reduced the vol
ume of the legal~tenders, and obtained
possession of the greater part of what
remains, they are beginning to favor a
re-establishment Of the right to convert
into bonds. While the country is occus
pied with the question as TO who is to
succeed to the Presidency, these pre-
ferred creditors are maturing their plans
for reaping another harvest. The OBJ
,jective point is to get the greenbacks out
Of existence, SO that the national bank
note will be the only currency ahoat
The ostensible purpose of the resump>
ton act, namely, to bring the legal>ten-
ders to par with gold, is a false pretense,
because that object could be accom-
plished in ten days, by clothing them
with legal power to pay duties

sh cheap school books to the children
of the state, will become Il law tLis win

following
Nov that everything else is coming
down in price. why should not popular
literature be cheapened to meet the re-
quirements Of the times and the purses
OF the people? The Miners Journal asks
this question, and goes on to say
Why should we continue to pay war
prices for our books when the expenses
of making those books have been so
greatly reducedo We do not know, to
the exact figures, how much the cost OF
book making has been cheapened. but
we know the same works for which 81.
30 and even s. are charged by 1.-THE
trade can be and are made and sold tor
ten cents.
\ little examination into the subject
will show the singular uneyeness between

It frequently publishes and sells for three
