] do not wonder at the condition OF
affairs in the southern states. No
man, no community, no government
can long practice great wrong with
out becoming demoralized. For a
century the southern people nurtured
the crime of human slavery. They
schooled themselves to the belief that
it was right for one man to own an
other; that it was right for one man to
eat his bread in the sweat of another
mans face. That capital should own
labor. That it was right to sell wife,
and children Of the laborer for the
profit and care of his owner. That
the price Of one mans head should
pay another mans debts. That one
portion of community should be
keptpoor, ignorant, in the merest alb
ject condition of chattels, beasts OF
burden and things of barter, that the
remainder might live in ease and ar
rogant idleness. Why should we
wonder that a people educated to be-
lieve that all these denominations We're
right, should come to proclaim the
power to dictate rules Of political ac-
ton to other men? And when, in de-
Tense Of this audacious system OF
wrong, oppression, and insolence, they
resOfted to war, and came out of it
beaten, and bruised, and poor, their
accursed system of labor destroyed,
their slaves converted into men; with
the chagrin of defeat and the compul-
sion to labor added to the demoraliza-
ton Of a century of iniquity, we must
not expect an instantaneous change.
They don't like the changed condition
of their affairs.

We are glad tonote here and there

We are glad to note here and there a
sensible Iowa democratic paper. The
Davenport Democrat says:
"It is amazing, when it is known
that the Supreme Court Unexpectedly
decided that the bonds Of the United
States cannot be taxed, that there
should be demagogues bowling about
the country for their Taxation. The
government Of the United States is
pledged neither to tax them nor per-
nit them to be taxed by the States.
1t would amount to a Reputation OF
contract and shamelessly discredit the
honor of the nation. 1t would also
stop the funding of six and Ave per
cent. into four per cent. bonds "a loss
to the tax payers ofnot less than $780,
GOO, 900 a year in interest"

From this it will be seen that the
amount of wheat that was required to
buy key of nails in 1873 will buy
nearly three kegs now. And so in re-
gard to nearly every other article
found in this table. What is true OF
hardware is also true, to nearly the
same extent, of many leading articles
of necessary consumption of the kind
usually called
GROCERIES,
SO that if you compare the price from
1870 to 1878, you will find that a given
quantity Of wheat will buy one and a
half times as much sugar and coffee,
and twice as much tea, and many 9th
er articles, as could have been pur-
chased for the same quantity Of wheat
in 1878. But the greatest fall in the
price of articles consumed by the
farmer is found i'm the case of staple

as will be seen by the following list OF
the prices from the close of the wal
until the present time, of articles OF
this character of common and neces.
sary use in every household.

The democracy of Davis county as

sembled in county convention las
Saturday in Bloomfield. 1t was {
very large convention, and after put
ting in nomination a county ticket thu
Trimbie- Weaver matter came up. II
will be recollected that Trimble got 8
proxy and attended the congressional
convention in this city August 18th,
last. It will be remembered too, that
i'm that convention he refused to be
bound by the instructions of his county
convention, ignored it entirely, and
openly boosted of it. The democracy
remembered this, and SO on last Sat.
urday when in convention again fol
the first time since Trimble wentbacR
on them, they sat down on him, and
the whole Trimble and Weaver bust
ness. We give the resolutions they
passed:
LIST. We believe in the Democratic
party because it is right, and because
its principles alone are the ones which
mustguide this country safely through
peace and to prosperity.
Ind. We believe in maintaining and
noting for straight Democrats, and
them only.
Sd. We believe that constituencies
have the right to instruct their dele
gates and officials as to their political
duties and acts; and we hold that de-
parture from such instructions is a
sufficient cause for the withdrawal OF
future confidence.
Trimble undertook to talk to these
resolutions, but he WAS not permitted
to. Trimble was not member of the
convention, and the democrats seemed
to be SO outraged at his conduct that
almost unanimously they declared
they did not want ia hear him. The
resolutions were adopted without a
dissenting vote. Where Weaver is
best known at his oicn home they have
no confidence i'm him. His bargain
and sale is SO plain and patent that re-
publicans and democrats have lost all
and even many of the re-
publican greenbackers have lost conf
dence in hia.

Judge Knapp has changed his views

Judge Knapp has changed his views
since he made his famous remark with
reference to the greenback. When
they were first issued he said: 1.-THE
id things won't be worth six bits a
bushel i'm two months" Now he
thinks they are excellent things to as
sist him to a seat on the supreme
bench. -Hdckeye.
Amt there some mistake about
this: 1t is rather wonder that the
Judge ever came to express SO decided
an opinion. The Judge to-day Is ri
ding double, and you could not get
him to say to save his soul whether he
favored absolute money; whether he
favored the issue Of more greenbacks;
whether he was for resumption of
specie payment or not; whether he
believes it constitutional to make a
legal tender of paper money in time
of peace in fine he hasn't got any pO-
iitical opinions that he or any other
man is bound to respect. 1t may do
for his opponent to have some convic-
tions, but Judge X. is just now a po-
liticai eunuch because mum is the
word that pays. He is even better off
than Weaver for he has found it nee
essary to say something, and he talks
as the needs demands, as the Chinese
build their junks, viz: by the mile
and cuts them off to suit customers.
