NEsSRs. EDITORS You are educating
the masses and doing much to excite aspirit
of reading and writing among your CORES
pondcnts, subscribers and the community at
large Your paper meets the wants OF the
neighborhood, county, town and village
Doubtless, in all newspapers there are many
things that should not be published, but
that which accomplishcs the greatest good
to the largest number IS not a bad rule.
There Is rightly 4 diversity Of opinion, and
this Is the spice of life, giving variety to
pursuits and conflicting interest Compcti-
ton, the life of trade, likewise gives interest
to intellectual pursuits and everyday en-
plovments in life. What good reason IS
there that city life and city style should
govern everything? There is an individu-
atty among Country folks" as well a. the
diversified classes that compose large cities:
While there may be more excitement IN
cities and towns for quiet satisfaction,
and fewer temptations TO vicious and dissi-
Pated life, the country is decidedly Pretera-
bic, and who viii dare say that your coun-
try correspondents writing Of health and
sickness, crops and prospects OF living,
churches and schools, and the moral status
of their communities, together with many
lively and good-humored rctorts, Is not far
preferable and decidedly more profitable
than the dark crimes and daring exploits OF
dark aIleys, and midnight revelries and
hellish vices Of saloons, gambling dens, &c;
detailed in city papers?
Your excellent journal Is in demand each
week and is growing in popularity among
our people. We are anxious to have you
visit us and lecture our people on the sub
ject of Education" \ quotation from one
Of your correspondents shows your liberality
in throwing open your columns to country
correspondents, at the same time awakening
a thirst and taste for intellectual advance
ment. These are no words of tlattery, but
a mere fact stated to commend a policy to
advance the material interests of the county,
for at present it Is evidenttha false policy
has nearly thrown the country into bank
ruptcy, and diverted capital and labor from
it's legitimate channel and melted spirit OF
speculation, and 4 neglect of honest toll that
would inPoverish any people. Let people
theorizc rs they may and combine in their
blind folly against the material interests Of
the country by pandcring to the money
power that are ready by any means to aug
ment their gains by diminishing OF increas-
ing the value Of the currency of the country.
At once labor is thrown out of employment.
real estate Is impaired in value, riot, want
and financial ruin is visited upon the people
at large, and they are at the mercy of these
financial sharks and sharpers. But ii We
have a currency of fixed value, based upon
the credit and prosperity Of the country we
secure in our inheritance, the real estate of
the country properly protected by wise Iegis-
lation, il the true wealth Of any country, and
gives it n credit better than the precious
metals Honest industry gives competence
at home, and places its occupant above fnan-
cial fluctuations. T.
