Letter From Iowa.

LEON, Iowa, Nov %.
To the Editor OF the Standard.
This is Thanksgiving night, and as we
sit down to our table to write few words
for the many readers of your paper, we
think we see you too seated at the table
in your sanctum, busy with the pen
chronicling the many pleasant things
that have passed in view during the day.
Old memories will steal in, and for a
short time we all stop to think over the
time gone, to return no more.
To-day, in Iowa, the mercury stood at
zero all day. and a cold and cutting wind
came from the northwest, and but few
cared to be out of doors yet occasionally
you would see a team pass our streets on
swift trot with full load, bound for
some pleasant home, where the re union
of friends and kindred was to take place
Others on foot would be seen with q well
filed basket, going to visit the poor, and
see that they too were made glad on this
day; yes, we have the poor with US as
well as the rich. While gazing at these,
we wondered if some one would not re
member the poor printer, and kindly
invite him to partake of some of the good
things Of earth. There are few that ever
guess at the work that is done by the
press of to day. They think, "Well, an
editor has such an easy time Of it, only
to write what is in the paper" They
little know of the hours spent and the
responsibilities that are thrust on him.
Ask these same persons to contribute a
small amount of their vast knowledge in
writing an article, and they will "craw-
fish at once, unless they want to give
some neighbor their opinions Of him in
Il ftral nfrs Il
watching and wondering as before, in
stepped a man, yes every inch a man,
and babe US put on our great coat and
90 with him. We went, and while on
the way, we wished that some good man
had done the same for every poor and
over-worked editor in the land We
thought of the Standard man, and wish
ed him and the office boys a good dinner,
Just such a one as we were seated at when
we arrived at the end Of our walk.
Times are close out here. Money
scarce. Most of our farmers have a sur
plus, but prices are so low that they are
not disposed to sell their crops or stock
at present prices, and are holding on in
hopes of a rise i'm the market. Fat hogs
are worth 50 % per hundred, corn 25c.
per bushel, and cattle are low, and until
the surplus is disposed OF, but little
money will be in circulation.
We wonder what the people of Ohio
will think or do if the Democrats get a
majority in the Senate Of the United
States, and then invite Mr.. II. b. Hayes
to walk down and out, and elevate their
man instead and we are Of the opinion
they will do it if they get the majority
