The eighth plank OF the Green back
platform adopted at Austin, declares
1--WE are opposed 10 the National Bank
ing law, under which few favored in.
dividua!s have, since their incorporation,
drawn from the hands Of industry six
teen hundred and sixty millions Of dollars
as interest alone" Now if the above
means anything it means that the bonds
deposited by National Banks to secure
circulation have drawn, and the banks
have been paid, the above amount.
Let US see. We copy from report oi
comptroller Of the currency. The total
interest on the public debt from June 30th
1850, to June 3Oth, 1878, or for the last
eighteen years, was 81 ,708 ,000, 900, which
is only about $48, 8,OOO, 600 more than their
platform says was paid on the bonds de.
posted by banks. The facts are, theil
platform does not come within fourteen
hundred and fifty million dollars of tel
ling the truth. You know the old adage
"If the blind lead the blind, both fall

lives a man who was persuaded to run
for Congress. He was good farmer
"well-heeled." His manipulators taught
him that the Ohio idea would work in
Iowa, and all he had to do was go in and
win. They got him to hlrethem to stump
for him, or rather to pay them for stump
ing for themselves, and they freely drew
on him. He must have an organ, 80 they
hired the columns of local paper at
legal rates, and then when he came to
have his tickets printed, they taxed him.
owing to his verdancv, just twenty five
cents more per hun''red, than he could
have got them for at tris office. A ter
spending his wealth. he got the enormous
number Of Is or 90 votes, in his own
county. The person who told this tale
and it is true in every particular, said he
thought greenbacker was fair game and
he proposed to pluck him freely. The
very same trick, is being played on our
friend Meigheu. Hmch's purpose is as
plain as day. The Page party are prepar-
ing to kick him out and he must try this
last chance, this dernier resort, of green
backism, and see if he can not squeeze a
little out Of friend Meighen. Prot. Pow

DR.. Hale has a worldwide reputation
as an author, and brings to this book the
results of years of study. The work is
divided into two parts, Part II. giving it
its chief value to- the non.prOfessl0nal
reader. Part I. is taken up with the con-
slider alton OF those diseases which cause
sters1ity Part II. treats of the causes and
treatment Of the disorders Of pregnancy,
and difficult and painful labor. We can
best give our readers an idea of the scope
of this portion of the work by quoting
from its admirable preface:
"There are many reasons why the profession
should pay greater attention TO the subject OF
minds and that Of the public Of the false idea
that the sufferings Of pregnant women must
be borne without relief. When women be-
ton and the pains and anxieties Of labor can

most women to desire to avoid pregnacy, and
thus violate the purest instincts OF maternity.

and mental nature Of the child. II anything

which often attends it. The evidence

Before the house in which the preacher

his hat In honor to TIE genius Of the best
pertrayer of hosier life, that we have
among writer's. The author OF "Hoosier

Astounding In perfect delineation Of the
backwoods character in the dialect which
the author SO skillfully uses, filled with
rich anecdote and exciting plot, and YET
with the essence OF true christianity on
every page, the book is treasure. It IL
to be regretted that Eggleston does not
leave the hoop'pole and blue jean region

some other theme. The charge of same.

A Dollar Then and Now.

The insane Glamour of the Nationals
against the Republican party, IS enough
to discourage an honest man, and disgust
him with human nature. See what the
sound financial policy of this same party
has accomplished in addition to paying
off nearly one third of our enormous debt
We copy from the Toledo Blade:
In 1864 the greenback dollar would
buy two yards of calico. Now it will
buy sixteen. In 1864 the workingman's
$3.50 for days work would buy three
yards of calico for his wife. Now his
one dollar will buy her sixteen.
In 1864 it took the iaborer, working at
$3.50 day, twenty-five and hale days
to earn enough to buy barrel Of pork.
Now, if he only gets one dollar day,
he can buy barrel in eight or nine days.
In 1864 the price of a days labor
$1.50-was equal to that of three yards of
brown muslin. Now the price of a day 8
labor is equal to that Of twelve and half
yards oil brown muslin.
In 1854 days labor at $3.50 would
buy one gallon of molasses. Now days
work at one dollar will buy two and a
half gallons

The HOtc hkisS Church Trial.

The following report to the Pioneer
Press, Of the proceedings Of the council
being brief and to the point, we can
do no better than adopt it: "The church
council in the HotcAkiss matte: met
Monday, at p NJ, and was composed OF
Revs. Leonard, of Northtield; Dana, of
St. Paul; CLANCY, of Mankato; Merrill
Of Spring Valley and Douglass, Of Usage,
Iowa, together will, one lay delegate
from each church. The council session
continued until Tuesday z. NJ examining
the testimony and listening to the argu-
ments Tuesday evening the church WAS
call TO hear the report Of the conncil.
As to the first charge-tllat OF using ir-
rcvercn,, unkinu and vilhfyinS language,
thew found it in the main true. On the
second charge, tor s!andering the Rev. A.
Morse, they foun; that though Rev.
Mnrse'S cont:uct in appearing 1T the in
dignation meeting might be criticised,
yet his dealings with the missionary So
ciety were perfectly honest and Chris
tim, and the charge against Hotchkiss
Of Slandering him was sustained. In the
third charge, which was for slandering
Van Ealkcnburgh, in saving that he had
organized Il mob and melted a troop Of
boys to disturbance, they found the
charge of SANDER substantially made out,
and that the language used bv Hotch-
kiss was unjusttiable and Extensively
personal Thus 1t will be seen that every
charge against Hotchkiss was consider
ed, proven, and sustained by the council,
and they recommended that he be sus.
pended from membership tor six months,
to be restored only on personal applica
tlon ut the end Of that time and on condi-
ton that he evince contritiOn tor his past
course, make confession and ask the par.
don OF the church; and IT he do not
comrly with these conditions at the end
of the six months, that lis name be
stricken from the roll. They then asked
that it be put on record that they consid:
cred that most unj ust representations had
been made to the press of the state, and
they hoped that ull such would be dis
couraged in the future. The conduct Of
the session was then placed in the hands
of Rev. Mr.. Wright, who said that owing
to the necessary absence OF some mem
bcrs Of the church, he deemed it ill-ad-
viseu to vote upon the report OF the
council, and unless otherwise decided he
should not call for 4 vote upon the report.
At this point Hotchkiss arose and re-
quested the church to settle it then and
there. No one moved, and Rev. Wright
still being unwilling to have it come to a
vote, Hotchkiss again arose and said
that when the church did vote on the re-
port, if they voted to sustain it, he wish.
ed them at the same time to strike the
n anne of w. \. HOtchkisS from the roll
Mrs. II also arose and m ude the same
ultimatum for herself and son. The ses
sion then closed with admonitory re-
marks by the several pastors present."

ers follow him closely, as tourists cling

and yet lottier views and prospects. Few
men are more literally endowed with the
qualities essential to usefulness and sue

may justly he ranked as one Of the solid
and reliable men, whom the nation will
gladly honor as a trusted leader; whose
usefulness and influence, marrcd by no
moral blemishes, must widen and expand,
by the vitality and soundness which
characterize his public services aud pri.
