PROSPERITY AND ADvERs1Ty.-An obser-
want writer says that Every few men can bear
prosperity. 1t tintoxicates them, like wine.
It turns their head and throws them off their
balance. Others cannot bear adversely. They
have no fortitude; no courage, no hope. They
are like the old sailor who said he always
felt happiest at the height of storm, because
he knew that the next change that took place,
whatever it might be, must necessarily be for
the better. They cannot realize that there
will be any change. When the sky is once
clouded and overcast they will not believe
the sun will shine again. Young men should
make it a point to keep their heads cool under
all changes of circumstances, to preserve their
equanimity and not be unduly elated by sue
cess, or too much cast down by disappoint-
ment."

LEARN soMErH1Ne.-A young man stepped
into the Office of the indianapolis Rolling
Mills not long since and asked for work.
"What can you do2" asked the President.
II don't know" said the young man. "Have
you trade 2, enc, sir" "Where did you
come from ?" "From Pennsylvania" care
you German? p "No, sir, am an Ameri-
can" "If you were German, or an Irish
man, or a Frenchman, I could set you to
work, because you would know how to do
something, but Americans don't know any
thing about practical business"
This reply will not apply to all Americans,
but it is lamentably true to a great extent.
In Germany the boy is brought up where he
sees something done, and has some idea Of
doing it. Very few Irishmen or Germans but
know how to turn over few rods of ground
and raise something upon il. Most of them
have some idea of mechanical operations, the
production and uses of material and of tools.
1t is those born in America who are igno-
rant and idle. 1t is the false notion that
man does not need to labor, or that he can
get his living by his wits, that causes large
part of our idleness and distress. Begin at
once to learn something; no matter what your
age, learn some practical pursuit at once.

THE CREENBACK PARTY.

Gen. Butler has recently written the
following letter to the Editor of the
People. the leading Independent Green
back paper of Iowa:
EDITOR OF THE PEOPLE:-Dear Sir:
l have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of yours OF the 23inst., il,
regard to the future OF the party that
seeks for a sound financial system of
administering the business of the
country. and also seeks to equalize the
burden of interest and of taxation
upon our people and to make true and
specific reform in the general admin
stration of the government.
The future Of that party is most
important for the best interests of the
fifty millions Of people whose energies
have been crushed under u load such
as no other people of like extent ever
carried. The future of men. AS regard
their candidature in that or any other
party, is mere incident; it is hardly
worth while 10 consider.
| need not stop with you to discuss
the various propositions set forth in
your letter. because we must be sub
tantially in accord. But upon the
question OF tandidlture permit me to
suggest that looking to the good o
the country and the future usefulness
of the party for whom you speak, and
whom you show in Iowa such brilliant
opportunities of success, thau it would
not be wellat present, in my Judgment
To put up anybody's name for high
office hy that party. Men are men.
with all the passions and je;Iousies
and ambitions that belong to men;
and the elevation of one man name
would excite all those passions in
others who might think thems. Ives.
and probably would be. better entitled
to consideration. Any man who
thought himself thus injured would
be lax and slow in his efforts to con-
tribute To the general good. Now. as
no Immediate advantage can he gained
by raising any standard of men. but
carrying high the standard of party.
| would advise that the whole matter
of candilature should for the present
be laid aside.
Thanking you for your words of ap.
probation and regard am.
Very truly yours:

HARD MONEY MEN STAND UP.

A workingman wants you to stand
up and answer the following interroy-
atives:
/. What would an ounce Of gold be
worth if gold was illegal tender for
all debts, public and private, except
duties on imports and interest on the
public debt?"
2. What would one ounce of gold
be worth if gold, like silver, was not
a legal tender at all
3. II gold WAS not used as money.
would its value change like oats, pota-
toes or butter!
We believe President Hayes holds
the opinion about gold. that the in
trinsic value arises from the labor ex-
pended in mining it. Now, then if an
ounce Of gold mined two hundred feet
below the surface is worth say SIS,
how much would All ounce be worth.
that was picked up on the surface,
without the labor Of mining Ohio
