EDITORS JOURNAL Your suggestion
in last weeks paper, that an agricul-
tural fair would be in order at this
place, is true; and if it were not for
obstacles, the preliminaries would
soon be arranged for a fair next fall;
but st. Croix county has its society,
which has its grounds and fixtures; so
has Pierce county; and each receives
bonus of hundred dollars from the
State, which enables them to maintain
an existence.
A large majority of the best men of
both counties. grangers and others, ARE
identified in the active management of
the county societies, and would,be 10th
to divide their efforts or relinqulsh
their connection there, to join with us
who have neither organization, bonus
from the State, grounds, nor fixtures
to start with.
Can these obstacles be readily over
Gomez Let us have more light. The
"Grange" would take pleasure in pro-
curing good ''horny handed speak
er for such an occasion free of ex-
pense. OSBORN SrRAHL.
While it is true, as Mr.. Strahl says,
that both Pierre and st. Croix coun-
ties have organizations, grounds, and
the like, it is also true that compare
lively few of the people of this vicini-
ty attend either fair. And we candid
ly believe that not only our village but
also the farmers of this region would
do their best to arrange here a local
"a, that aiii in all respects rival the
county fairs held in the two counties
mentioned. At any rate, agitation OF
the subject will do no harm; ard, for
this reason, we invite those who are
interested in such matters. to express
their opinion upon the subject.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion OF the American people
are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia
or disordered liver. The resalt of these dis
eases upon the masses of intelligent and val
liable people is most alarming, making life
actually burden instead of pleasant exis-
tence OF enjoyment and usefulness as it ought
to be. There is no good reason for this, if
you will only throw aside prejudice and skep-
ticism, take the advice of Druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle of Green's August
Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Mil
lions of bottles of this medicine have been
given away to try its virtues, with satisfac-
tory results in every case. You can buy a
sample bottle for 10 cents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Positively
sold by all Druggists on the Western Con-
tinent.

Absolute GrennbackS,

WHAT IS MONEY! 1t is the thing which THE
LAW declares to be money, be it gold, silver, cep-
per, iron, wood land, paper or labor. The law can
declare that we must pay dollars worth of gold,
silver wheat or labor, and we must obey the law.
We have peck, or about quarts Of silver coin
from the United Statss Mint. When we go to pay
debt of five dollars this coin is money. If we
wish to pay six dollars of debt. it is not money for
we cannot compel creditor to take it. five owe
a man $4,000, we pay him in greenbacks,
which are money, because the law says so. Now,
we demand that every U. S. Bond be paid at
once in this greenback lawful money, that these
Bonds may no more suck away the life of the
people to pay interest.
Why pay interest on Bonds? Who is benefited
by such robbery The untaxed rich. Who are
robbed? The oyertaxed poor.
REMEMBER THESE TRUTHS. Labor creates
wealth. Men create laws. Law creates money,
and whatever the law says is money must be
money, and whatever the law says is not money
is not money exactly as greenback dollar is
money and silver trade dollar is not money.
Gold and silver cannot be money till the law
makes them SO. When it says they are
not money, then they are not money, Therefore,
the law can create and destroy money, as men can
create aud destroy wealth,
