NUMBER II.
ABILITY APPRECIATED.

An article on tho financial oues-
ton, by J. W. Taylor, Esq. associate
editor of the TRIBUNE, appears in
the Wisconsin State Journal, of
Madison, which Hon. Horace Rublee
spoke of in terms Of high praise, and
whlch the veteran editor of tho
Journal refers to thus Aatteringly:
I'VE invite special attention of The readers
OF the State JOURNAL to an elaborate review
of the financial question to be found in this
paper, This article shows up the claims Of tho
. Nationalists or Greertachers to bc false in
many respects, aud proves the positions with
oilicica documents. j, W. lnylor, ESQ. of
Iowa county, the writer of this article, has
given the subject patient study, and has pre-.
senled the whole question of contraction and
expansion of the circulating medium, and
other points connected with the currency
question In remarkably clcarand able manner.
This article should be extensively read, MS in
many respects 1t is the most complete answer
" '"e N''"'' Vi ING Ni''hnachels tnnt WC
have seen In print. Mr. Taylor has evidently
given much time to the production of this
communication. and deserves well Of the Re-
publican party for having produced 1t. Tic
points are throughly backed with facts and
figures, and they are presented in n very at.
t'aclive style. Let everybody interested in
the sublect-and all men are interested IN it.
take good care to give 10 this article of Mr..
Taylor's, careful perusal, aud reflect candid.
ly upon the excellent points made on IT,"
The article fills nine columns of

to lay it entire before the readers Of

COUNTY PRINTING.-It may req
sonably be Inferred from the Demo-

lieve it has not returned to it's pub
fishers as large profits as could have
been derived in the same time from
almost any other business to which
an equal amount of capital. labor and
talent were devoted. As with the
Democrat, so with other papers
They are public servants, whose
services the people demand, yet for

ing the matter of letting printing on

confidence that when the subject is

is no ground of dispute between us
and the Democrat on this subject,
and nothing in it to effect any ones

organs OF this coanty express slight

little ground for such hopes if Re-

oil he can to insure its election. 1t
