Remedy for Hard Times.

Stop spending SO much On fine
clothes, rich food and style. Buy good,
healthy, food cheaper and better cloth
ing; get more real and substantial
things of life every way, and especially
stop the foolish habit of running after
expensive and quack doctors or using
so much of the vile humbug medicine
that does you only harm, and makes
the proprietors rich, but put your trust
in the greatest of all simple, pure
remedies, Hop Bitters, that cures al
ways at a tr1fing cost, and you will see
better times and good health. Try it
once. Read of it in another column.

THE BLOODY COMMUNE.
Chicago Business Men Have Shelled Out
Money Enough to Equip an Army.-A
Battery of Six Guns and Four Com
panies of Cavalry Made Ready to Meet
Chicago Times, May 24th.


The formidable rumors which have
prevailed for some weeks past regarding
an uprising of the commune have caus-
ed all thoughtful people to consider
what means of defense are within reach
and what could be accomplished in case
of an extended riot. A movement was
started four days ago, which has already
assumed definite shape, the purpose Of
which is to complete the equipment of
all the militia commands in the city,
and provide other measures for defense.
This has been done quietly, and not SO
much through fear of a demonstration
on the part of the red element, but to
guard against trouble in any form. The
evidences of coming trouble in all the
other western cities has done much to-
ward causing the citizens to Iinaugurate
the present movement. a....I -t..-..-
The first step was to forward the forma-
ton of a battery of artillery. Six guns
have already been ordered from New
York. -Four of these pieces will be

purchase fatigue caps and blouses for

ment, and should make them capable
of performing good service if called up
on. In addition to this a large number
of breech-loading Springfield rifles have
been ordered, which are also expected

to nearly 100000, and Will be
reduced to about 4,25O,OOO, making a

100000 acres restored to market, leav-

nearly 100000 acres. In Washington
territory, 3,457 Indians will be

will go to Puyalup. In Oregon, 5000

PLATFORM.

aUOpIoO.
We, the democracy of Iowa, in con-
vention assembled, congratulate the
country upon the restoration of home
rule to the south and the era of peace
brought about in response to the de-
mands Of the national democracy, and
make this declaration of principles. .
First-A tariff for revenue only, hon
est and economical home rule, suprem-
acy of the civil over the military DOW
er, the separation of church and state,
the equality of all citizens before the
law, opposition to granting Of subsidies
to any corporation whatever.
Second-The financial system of the
republican party has been one of favor
to monied monopoly, Of unequal taxa
ton, Of exemptions of classes and of
remorseless contraction that has de-
stroyed every enterprise which gave
employment to labor, and therefore we
denounce its measures and its men as
responsible for the financial dis
tress, misery and want which HOW af-
hict the nation. .-
-Third-Labor and capital have an
equal demand on and an equal re-
sponsibility to the law.
Fourth-Public officials should be
held to strict accountab ility, defaulters
be severely punished, and riot and dis
order promptly suppressed. ...
Fifth-We depricate the funding of
our no-interest bearing debt, and insist
that the bonded debt be refunded at a
rate not exceeding 4 per cent.
Sixth-We favor the equal recogni
ton of gold, silver, and United States
notes in discharge of public and private
obligations except where otherwise pro-
vided by contract, and to the end that
the same be secured, we favor the I'M
conditional repeal Of the resumption
act, and the coinage Of silver. on equal
conditions with gold. We oppose any
further retirement of United States notes
now in circulation, and favor the sub
stitution of United States treasury notes
for national bank bills. nor
Seventh-It is the duty of the gov
eminent to take Immediate steps to
improve our great western rivers and
the means provided should be com
mensurate with the importance and
magnitude of the work.
Eighth-Thorough investigation into
the election frauds of 1876 should be
made, frauds should be exposed, truth
indicated and criminals punished in
accordance with law whenever found.
We accept and reaffirm the doctrine Of
Mr.. Tilden's letter on war claims as a
proper adjustment of the national poll

the public treasury. I / / f i. I.a,

its chlet leader, Brick Pomeroy, utters
such threatsp We think not: the people
