OF the universal poverty of the farming

of the Helper bristles all over with
points, from which we quote the follow
ing:

vention to be called. Where are you, Chair

The recent vote in the House on the repeal
ofthe resumption act is significant and notice
to all Independents that neither the present
incumbents nor anybody Of like principles can
be trusted to carry out their views. From the
Iowa delegation one, democrat, voted for re-
peal, six against it, and two lodged.
The Independents are gaining ground rapidly
in Iowa. Mr. Tilden's letter is approved and
rilden might be swallowed; ditto, ditto, Hend-
ricks. But the old democratic party with its
rebel record-that's pretty big dose to take.
and Hayes and Wheeler's mo step backward. y
when going forward means inevitably going
over precipice, is not the doctrine that is CO.
ing to capture Iowa farmers, mot this fall, at
least, with crops ruined in the southeast BY
heavy rains and in the northwest by grasshop-
pers, and the state covered with poor men
tramping through the country seeking work
1t IS high time that the members Of Congress
should be made to understand that they are
sent to Washington as the representatives Of
the people, and that as soon as they cease to be
in accord with any decided majority Of their
constituents, it is their duty to resign. Now,
whatever difference Of opinion may exist
among the intelligent people of the state, it i
certain that most Of them regard the resum ption
act as both useless and mischievous. Yet six
of the members from Iowa voted directly
against its repeal One OF them, Judge Samp-
son, is already a candidate for reelection, aud
others will be probably re-nominated: 1t now
remains to be seen whether the crack OF the
party whip can SO brighten the voters that they
will again elect the men who have so shame
fully betrayed them. II they do, it is to be
hoped that We shall hear no more prating of in
dependence.
