HARD TIMES.
Ottuuwa Courier.


We have the Conrier of the winter of
1867 before us. We were then in the
midst of the so-called hard times which
periodically occur in all commercial coun-
tries, at varying periods running from ten,
fifteen, to twenty years apart, the time de-
pended somewhat upon the extravaganza
Of the people, and their facilities for run:
ming into debt and wild speculations in
the meantime
We find that during that period wood
was quoted here at an average of So per
cord, pork So per hundred net, butter 20
cents, eggs 10 cents, chickens 81 per doz-
en-, quails 80 cents per dez, venison &c
per pound, turkeys 40 to so cents each,
corn l8 to 20c per bushel, wheat SO to
60c per bushel, potatoes 20 to 25c per
bushel, hides, dry SC, ditto green, SIC, hay
$7.50(9$8.eO per ton, coal 10 cents per
bushel, and all other farm produce at
about the same relative prices. a.
The only product of the farm which
brought prices then approximating pres
ent rates was hay, and it viii be recolleet.
ed that even as late as twenty years ago,
a majority of Wapello county farmers
entertained the fiction that timothy, clover
and blue grass could not be successfully
cultivated in the Des Moines valley.
The same chaps insisted that apples
couldn't be raised here either, but the
other sort who had faith enough to plant
trees, have plenty of delicious apples now
in their cellars to eat and sell. @
1t will be remembered also that in those
glorious old Democratic days, the money
you received for your stuf-when you
didn't get it in dry goods-at even these
rates, was Page & Bacon shinplasters, or
Illinois and Indiana wild cat free banking
currency, constantly fuctuating in value,
generally downward, and that there was
usually ten to twenty per cent. difference
between it and gold.
Moreover, dry goods, including calicoes,
muslins, cloths, Sc, US well as boots and
shoes were fully ten per cent higher than
they are to-day.
1t is well enough to bear these things
in mind when you hear the demagogues
constantly prating about hard times and
charging them to the party in power.
The truth is money is scarce simply
because We have had two short crops and
because too many of our people are buy
ers instead of being sellers, from pure
necessity.
DO you think there would be any great
amount OF complaint of hard times among
farmers and tradespeople if the country
had its usual amount Of pork to sell at 5
to $50 gross, Of corn at 40 to 45c, Of
potatoes at 90 to 75c, of butter at Csc
and eggs at 90 to zoe, wheat at $l.O0 per
bushel and other things in proportion
which are prevailing prices here now?

A prisoner was being tried for sh heep
stealing, and he was asked by the presid-
ing judge, an Irish Chief Baron, what h e
had to say in his defense:
"Ah, sure, your lordship, didn't meself,
and me fawther and me grand fawther all
vote for your lordship when you were
put up for Tipperary? And begorra,
didn't we carry your lordship to the head
of the poll?"
"True, true" murmured the Judge, and
he was visibly affected by the reminis-
cence. He looked kindly at the prisoner
at the bar, and in summing up, directed
the jury to acquit him, though the evi-
dence was strong for conviction. The
jury felt the pressure put upon them, and
the foreman, in giving him the verdict,
said, "Well, your lordship, I suppose we
must call him not guilty, but faith, your
lordship, there'll not be sheep at all left
in the county" To which his lordship
complacently replied: @saa-@. ...
"Ah, never mind, gentlemen, never
mind the mutton! Acquit him and ate
beef I"
And acquitted he was.

A mother and babe were among the
passengers waiting at the Central depot
yesterday. She had the child carefully
wrapped up, and this fact perhaps at
trated the attention of big fellow with
a three-story overcoat and rusty satchel
in his hand. Sitting down beside her he
remarked:
"Cold weather for such little people, is
it not?"
She family nodded.
"Does he seem to feel it much?"' con.
tinued the man.
She shook her head.
''ls he healthy child?" he asked,
seeming greatly interested.
"He was up to a few moments ago.
she snapped out, "but Pm afraid he has
smelt so much whisky that he'll have the
delirium tremens before night.
The man got right up and walked out
of the room, and was afterward seen buy
ing cloves and cinnamon.

"People shouldn't get in panic" Now
if those folks had only retained their
presence Of mind and gone quietly out of
the theater they'd all got out safe." This
is Mr.. Peter Prosy's lecture about the
fire. He has delivered it 500 times to as
many people since Tuesday morning.
And last night, just as Mr.. Prosy had
got into bed, two bricks came tumbling
down his chimney into the CRATE, scatter.
ing few live Goals about and setting the
carpet on fire. Then Mr.. Prosy got out
Of bed, picked up coal with his fingers,
got burnt stepped on another, put on one
boot, ran up stairs, hollered FIRE, ran down
again, got partly into his drawers, ran out
Of the house, tried to fix the crank to o

to his house and met Mrs. Prosby, who
had easily extinguished the flames with
water from the pitcher. She grabbed
him by his nightshirt and yanked him on
the bed and said: "You old fooli Keep

Walton s. Marks shipped two car loads

load of hogs that has been received at Keo-

ped seven car loads Friday. Four of which
were premium. They were undoubtedly
the best lot that have ever been shipped
from here, if not from the county. One
lot of 120 head which were raised and fat
ted for market by John Voorhees,, averaged
428 lbs. Another lot of SO head, raised by
Robert Barnes, averaged 400 fbs., But

1t begins to dawn upon the intellects Of
Western Democrats that the programme
which calls for the election of Tilaen by
the House involves the sacrifice of Hen
bricks. The Indiana boys never thought
of that
One old veteran writes that all Presi-
dent Grant has to do is to crook his fin
ger and say, "Boys. this way a minute"
and 100000 of the 100000 members of
the Grand Army of the Republic will
step forward and say, Business"
The Supreme Court of Florida, at the
bi dding of its Democratic friends, last
Sa turday ordered the Counting Board to
re-canvass the returns. But, as the re-
turns Of that State reached Vice Presi-
dent Ferry on the same day, the order
will in every respect prove to have been
in vain.
The United States Senate is Republi-
can. The Legislatures of twenty-five

sh ould consider all these facts.

AN APRIL RETROSPECT.
To the Editor.


In consequence of the political muddle
the Republic is now passing through in
trying to settle the presidential question,
and which if not amicably arranged this
winter, must certainly culminate by the
lst of April next, a retrospective view of
important events which have transpired
in the month of April since the dawn of
the Republic, may not be uninteresting.
The first battle of the revolutionary
war was fought at Lexington and Concord
Massachusetts, April 10, 1775.
George Washington was inauguratcd
first President of the United States, April
80, 1889.
The United States mint was establish
ed by Congress, April 2, 1892.
The second United States bank was
chartered by Congress, April 8, 1910.
Fort Sumpter was fired upon by South
Carolina troops, April IL, 1861, and on
April 10, an attack was made on Massa-
chusetts troops in Misunderstanding
the first blood of the civil war. New Or
leans surrendered to the national forces,
under Admiral Farragut, April %, 1862,
and Richmond, Virginia, the capital of
the confederacy, surrendered April 3,
1865, and April 9th General Lee surren-
dered to General Grant, at Appomattox
court house. which virtually ended the re-
bellion, and was SO declared by procla-
nation of the President, April 2, 1866.
Oa April IA, 1865, President Abraham
Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's thea
ter, in Washington city, and on April Is,
Vice President Andrew johnson, succeed
ed to the presidency. In April, 1872,
General Candy and a party of peace CON-
missioners were massacred by the Modoc
Indians, and on April 10, 1875, one hun
dred years after the battle of Lexington,
the Nation joined in its centennial cele-
bration.
Now that the nation is just entering up
on its second century with gloomy fore
bodings, it will have to depend on cool
headed statemanship in this trying emer-
gency, to carry it safely through to the
second centennial celebration of its BIRTH
Ha,oLeye.

But mind you how we wink our eyes,
Oregon, my (OOregon;
We want an honest count, you see,
If that will give us s. j. T.
But otherwise-why, no, STREE,
Oregon, my CD Oregon.
Was all my usufruct for naught
Oregon, my CD Oregon,
Have all those "barrels" nothing bough
Oregon, my CD Oregon;
Did Hewitt forward mules in vain,
NoTE.-The poem ends abruptly, owing to
break in the telegraph wire.
