The Dollar Then and Nov.

In 1854 the greenback dollar would
buy two yards Of calico Now it will
buy sixteen. In 1864 the working
mans $3.50 for days work would
buy three yards of calico for his wife.
Now his 81 day will buy her six
teen.
In 1861 it took the laborer. work
ing at $50 day, twenty two and
one half days to earn enough to buy a
barrel of pork. Now, if he only gets
81 day, he can buy barrel in eight
or nine days.
In 1861 the price of days labor
.-SI50--was equal to that of three
yards Of brown muslin Now the
price Of days labor-S1-is equal
to that of twelve and one-half yards
of brown muslin.
In 1864 a days labor at 81. 50
would buy one gallon of molasses.
Now days work at 81 will buy two
and one-half gallons.-ToLedo Blade.

hod Taylor and Pine Trespasscs,
denny Advocate. ]

Tom Rarden, the Ashland wag,
writes to the Superior Times sketch
of the distinguished orphans he met at
the State Fair, among whom was Hold
Taylor, Agent for state lands, who has
just returned from trip to Europe.
He says: ..
Hold Taylor, late envoy extraordi-
nary, and ex-Asst. to the Pope, and
SerSt at Arms in the Vatican, who is
now home among his many friends,
from the Paris Exposition and the
Holy Land, was in Madison. Hod
says there is some boss pine and hay
meadows on the Holy Land tract, the
best he ever saw out Of doors. Hold
and one OF the Cardinals went out in
the woods there and struck new blaze
which led them to the camp Of old Gar
lbaldi, who was doing a little summer
trespassing Hod showed old Garry
his commission, signed by Ludington
and Smith, when the old man drew a
letter Oh him from Sam Fifeld, saw
ing that he (Sam) had power of attor-
ney to settle up the business Of the
Mere estate, and that he will sell
stumpage at dollar a thousand as the
heirs were hard up and anxious to raise
little money to settle up tax title
that some Hudson gentlemen hold on
their lands. This satisfied Hod, and
he says the old man will not run be-
hind if he can only get his logs down
the Euprates this fall.

IL HIS Boston speech, Senator
Blaine got off the following good one
IN answer TO the constantly repeated
question Of the Grecnbackers, How
are you going to redeem S346, 900, 600
in greenbacks with $500, 100000 in
gold? THAT wise argument" said
Mr., Blaine, proceeds on the assump
sion that every man IN the United
States will be at the Treasury doors on
New Years day next with his little
box und;r his arm. 4 Greenbacker
down in Portland, Maine, advanced
this Same argument tn a stiff, hard
headed old Democrat the other day.
The old Democrat said to him well
you are smart fellow. You have
got 49, people in Portland, haven t
you?' 'Ies, sir They will all
want collins some time in the order of
nature, won't theyE Yes. Wen,

1t was in the bleak November.
Did you ask when we expect Mr.
Greenback We guess he isn't con-.

The grcenbackers took hard
gold Tuesday.
When you see greenbacker, just
say, "Hello, where you coin?" Il
he's little man he'll say :: "coin te

-Ye voter put Mr., Dewhurst in his
little bed" not in Toms cot.
Our candidate for Assembly beat
the greenoack candidate With c e G
Bro Loomer over in Shawno looks
grimmer in the face, and says ''slaugh

Well, Loomer's one OF the best boys
in the world, and we wouldn't have

PRESIDENT HAYES is at "a st getting
his eyes open to the fact that the
South has only been playing posspm,
in pretending to accept the preferred
hand Of friendship extended by the
administration. The Presidents con
ciliatory policy was the result Of a
Christian desire to do good to an enc
ny desire to blot cut all feelings
of anImosity and hatred by covering
them ovar with the mantle Of good
will. In order to accomplish so grand
a result mercy was extended where
only Justice should have been rendered.
For two years kindnessss have been
extended to the whole south as a fit
ting supplement to a ieniency shown
By powerful nation to weak band
of unreEentant traitors clemency
az never before was exercised in the
history Of nations Strict justice
would have meetcd out punishment by
the gibbet to at least half q thousand
Of the leading spirits of the rebellion,
and peace would have been secured
which would have been lasting. Urea
son shoald always be made odious.
The course pursued by the government
in restoring arch rebels to full citizen
premffGm hr of tf hgasotdhFa 0 ffaTings 9Rfa /
Is to-day wearing the blue ribbon az
the winner Of the first prize. Ole
John Brown Has executed for getting
up side show in the treason line; bu,
the leaders and proprietors of the great
national circus are clothed with author
ity aud cautioned against creating a
like disturbance again. The dignity
OF the nation has baen insulted, and It's
standing lowered among the great ma
tlons of the earth BY this species of boys
play, lily becoming the nation. Had
the South been even partially honest in
accepting the olive branch extended
! By the administration, the boundless
generosity Of a solid north, in the day
OF its afliction by pestilenoe would
have SO warmed the southern heart
that Is manifestation of It's gratitude
would have been shown in the observ.
ance Of the laws, and guarantee OF
protection to the black man who chooses
&c cast a ballot in behalf of the prin-
ciples which raised him from the low
condition Of chattel to the nobler DO
sition Of a freeman
We are glad the President has at
last opened his eyes TO the condition
tion OF things in the south. We only
hope he Will have the nerve of Jack
son and the determination Of a Grant,
and compel submission to national law
as also the recognition Of equal politi-
cal and social rights to even the hum
blest Individual, be he black or white.

THREE NAMES will be prominent
before the Legislature for the U. s,
Senate These are Howe, Carpenter,
and Reyes. Our first choice is Howe.
He has stood by the forlorn hope in
the south, manfulIy. Our second
choice is Keycs. lie has the ability
to make the fre-eaters of rebeldonl
tremble in their boots and as a leader
of wonderful executive ability he has
few equals. Carpenter comes last on
the list. lie is prominently an able
man, brilliant and powerful, but he
has been coquetting with our enemies,
aad would be Tillen man if he dare
be. he lacks only the name.
