In the great race which took place
at Louisville, Kentucky. July 4th. be-
tween the celebrated Kentucky horse
Ten Brock, and the California mare
MoIlie Mccarthy, the mare broke
down on the last half mile and was
distanced. The day was the hottest
OF the season, a heavy rain the pre-
vious evening had made the track
very heavy, and the distance run was
four miles. No wonder then that
two of the finest horses in America
were rendered worthless. 1t is said
that neither will ever bein q condition
TO run another race. 1t was a pit
liable sight 10 see the jockey come
leading the California mare slowly
down the track, where ten minutes
before she had stood the Queen OF the
Turf broken down forever. 1t
is cruelty in the extreme, to compel
a horse to run four miles on such a
day as last Thursday, and our coun-
try should not boast OF its advanced
civilization while such cruelty is per-
mitted.

Money nnst have Yalne.

When potatoes and nails are for
sale they will purchase each other,
il the owners respectively want such
articles; but each may be sold for
money, and this expended for any
other desired article. But IL this
common medium has no value, it is
not medium. it is not money, can
not be made available in exchanges.
Money therefore must nave value, so
as to measure and be measured by
other things Of value: and without
this it can have no existence. Wheth-
er it consists OF living things like
sheep, or metallic coins like dollars,
or paper evidences OF debts like bank
notes, il must bear value or it can
not be money; for only values car
measure and exchange values
Strike out the notion OF value, and
money ceases to exist, can no longer
perform its functions, and all its ad-
vantages are lost to civilization

For Congress-.

In a conversation with Hon. J. 81.
Baker, on the subject OF Congression-
al matter, Thursday last, he informed
US that il the Republicans OF the dis
trict desired any other person to rep
resent them he was perfectly willing
to accede to the request. He had
held the office, he said. for two terms,
the usual custom OF the party in this
district, and felt gratifled at tho con-
fldence the party had reposed in him,
and would aid. to the extent of his
ability, in electing whom ever the
party might see fit. in its judgment,
to send in his place. On the other
hand, If it was thought advisable to
return him again, he would do his
best to serve the people OF the Thir-
teenth district with what ever ability
he possessed. We have only given
the substance OF the conversation
that occurred on the subject, not at
tempting to use his language. Mr..
Baker has made al able epIesentative
and stands high among the members
OF the lower house, and, should he be
returned, will be the better able to
serve them in consequence OF the ex-
perience he has gained.-UdrsGiU bs-

Hegets them, and when you mention
pay, looks surprised -"you surely
don't charge for such a thingw And
this is called newspaper patronage.
Now isn't newspaper patronage a
curious thing? And in that great day
when the gentleman in black gets his

that while certain kinds OF patronage
are the very life and existence of a

Newspaper Patronage.

There appears TO be many different
ways of understanding the true mean
ing Of newspaper patronage. as it is
called, and, as an Interested party,
we give place TO disquisition on the
subject by one who knows whereof
he speaks. 1t will serve, perhaps, as
mirror where certain persons may
see themselves as others see them.
Many long and weary years have
forced the conviction npon US that
newspaper patronage is word of
many definitions. and that great
majority OF mankind are either igno-
rant OF the correct definition or are
dishonest in a strict biblical sense of
the word. Newspaper patronage is
composed OF as many colors as a
rainbow, and Is as changeable as a
chameleon.
One man comes in and subscribes
for paper and pays for it in adj
vance, and goes home and reads 1t
with the proud satisfaction that it
is his. He hands In his advertise
meat, asks the price. pays for it. and
goes to his place of business and
yeap5 the advantage thereof. An
other man says you may put my
name on your books, and goes off
without saying a word about pay.
Time passes on, and you want money,
aud want him to pay you what is
honestly due you. He flies into a
passion, perhaps pays, perhaps not,
and orders bis paper stopped. This
is called newspaper patronage.
Another man brings in fifty cent
advertisement and wants a two dollar
notice given it, and IL you refuse he
goes off mad. And this is called
newspaper patronage.
Another man lives near you-he
does not take the paper-he don't
like the editor-the paper is too small
for him-yet he goes regularly to his
neighbor and borrows it, and quar-
rels with the opinions of the editor.
Occasionly he sees an article he likes;
he begs, or gives half dime for the
number. This is called newspaper
patronage.
Another man likes the paper and
takes a copy for his family. and
pays for it, ond does all he can to get
new subscribers: he never grumbles,
but always has cheerful word for
the editor. II any little item of in
terest occurs in the neighborhood, he
informs the editor. This is newspa-
paper patronage.
Another man has a patent and
wants you to give him a two-dolIar
notice every week; it will be of inter-
est to your readers. he says; but al
/ though knowing it viii benefit him
most Of all, ne does not offer to pay
for it. This is called newspaper pat
t rOnage.
I Another man has taken the paper
I for several years, but has not paid for
it, and comes in with a four or FIVE
dollar advertisement and asks you to
insert it for nothing, because he is an
old patron Of yours. This is called
newspaper patronage.
Another mana young man about

Quite a number Of our National
Greenback exchanges are warning
their readers and members of the
National party generally, to 5eware
Of the New York ADVOCATE, claiming
that it is run in the interest OF the

long until the scales will drop from
the eyes of the editors OF most Of the
so-called Greenback organs and they
will see that the entire National
Greenback party is run in the inter

The pet Democratic argument in
1876 was that the Democratic House
had made . saving Of 10000. 900 on
appropriations. The Republicans de-
c)sred at the time that the. reduction
was only temporary. and was
not economy as more than that
amount would have to be voted at q
subsequent time to make up the de-
ficisnices, and the interests Of the
country would have to suifsr materi-
ally from not having the benefit Of
the appropriations at the proper
time. Time has shown that. this is
true. The appropriations. made BY
the present Congress are twelve mil
lions in excess OF those of 1876, with
out including the deficiency bills
which amount to s25,OO0,00O. When
the Republicans had control OF the
House they reduced expenses steadi-
~ year after year.

C0unfy Convention.

The Republican County Convention
will be held at Plymouth one week
from next Saturday, July goth. Ev-
cry Republican in Marshall county
should make arrangements to be in
Plymouth that day and assist in NOM
mating good men that can be elected.
There is no good reason for believing
our ticket will be beaten this fall il
every Republican viii do his duty
Let good men-men that will work
faithfully and hopefully to secure a vic
tory, and it viii be seen that the people
will give them hearty support. A
number of good men have announced
themselves as candidates for some CT
the Offices. This is as it should be;
while all cannot be nominated, yet
We shall be able from the whole to Sc
lect a good ticket. For the Office OF
Auditor we have only heard mention
ed the name Of Fl. J. Macomber. OF
Bremen, Mr.. -Macomber is q first
class business man, is well. known
throughout the county, Is honest, So
Der, well qualified for the position, a
man swhom, as. public officer, any
county might well be proud Of.
For the Office Of Sheriff, so far as
we are informed, John V. Ashley, of
Plymouth, andJ. J. Schilt, Of German
township, are the only candidates.
Both are good men; Mr.. Schilt as a
dealer and manufacturer of lumber is
well known. Mr.. Ashley has been con-
nected with the firm Of Buck s. Toan
for eleven years which is good evil
dence OF his business capacity. Eth
er with Mr.. Ashley or Mr.. Schilt on
tho ticket we ought to be able to de-
feat the Democracy.
For Treasurer we have Q. VI. Town
send, OF Argos, George Helmlinger,
of Bremen, and, we believe, Freder-
lex Tescher, OF Bourbon. With Mr..
Tescher we are not personally ac-
quainted but understand he is first
class man and very popular in his
township. NJ. Townsend is the /. P,
s C. agent at Argos, is a gentleman
in every respect and IS very popular
in that portion of the county. Eve
rybody in the northeast portion OF
the county knows George Helmlin-
ger. He does not come before the
convention on his own accord but at
the request of the citizens of German
! township, and, il nominated, will
pledge himself to do his best to be
elected. His fitness for the place can
not be questioned. For the other Of
ficers we have not as yet heard OF
any positive candidate but suppose
there will be plenty of them when the
| convention meets, and. as we said
above, let every Republican help Us
to select good ticket and be present
| to aid US with his counsel. Let Us go
| into this contest with the eterDa
principles OF the Republican party

The Toledo Blade in long article
on the Nationals and farmers, says
the National movement is Commune
Ism, very thinly disguised. All the
Nationals are not Communists, but
all Communists are Nationals.
There are thousands OF very excel
lent men afflicted with the Green
back heresy, good citizens and law
abiding men. There are also thous-
ands OF most excellent men who are
opposed TO resumption and, who
want more money who are not Social
lists or Communists.
The farmer, above all other classes,
wants stability in finances. The
farmer, more than any other man,
wants activity in commerce and in
manufactures. He may grow as
much grain as he chooses, but OF
what good is it to him,.if capital
hides itself and labor is In conse-
quence idle? He is q producer. but a
producer is in a bad way without con-
sumers. 1t is essential to the pros
perity of the agricultural class that
machinery moves, ships sail, and that
the labor of the country is fully en-
ployed. Then labor can not only
eat, but it can pay well for what 1t
eats. Only in this way can there be
q good, sure and certain market. and
good prices for the products Of the
farm, paid for in money that is worth
the having or keeping.
