A Hint to Workingmen.

The honest workingmen ofthe country
many of whom have large and increas-
ing families to support, have been the
chief sufferers from the great financial
pressure under which we have labored
for the last few years. Diminished
wages have not been attended by a
corresponding diminution IN price of
everything which the workingman
needs, Rents. fuel food, and clothing
are cheaper, but these do not consti-
tute all his necessities. tits sometimes

or physician, yet the fee rates of ply
sicians and lawyers are as high as
they were in flush times. Yet cheap
medicines are as necessary as cheap
rents or fuel. Cheap medicines are
not necessarily poor medicines. 1t
must be obvious to every Intelligent
person that medicines, compounded
and put up at wholesale, can be sold at
much lower rates than when retailed

Decatur Review.)

The elections 10 1880 will be very bit
terly contested throughout the whole
country, and much will depend upon the
fighting trim in which the parties enter
the contest. In Illinois the democracy
have not given proper attention to organi-
cation in the past. The opposition to the
republicans have the numerical strength
to carry the state. if they will but utilize
it. Let them go to work, now. Instead
of saying I'VE will work if you adopt this
or that policy, or support this or that
man." they should agree to support hon.
est and competent men, and arrange to
present united front to the common en-
envy. Let democratic club be organized
in every precinct. IF the old managers
will not take hold with will, let the
young democracy take the lead. With
unity of purpose and work, Illinois can be
carried By the democracy next year.

Nonsense.

The brilliant ignoramous who edits the
Rock Island ARGUS says:
The financial issue will not figure in the
great contest of 1880.
And then Immediately on the same page
starts off long article with the following
sentence:
The tariff question will be among the
most important issues in 1880.
Now. as the tariff is leading branch OF
the finance" question, the capacity OF
that editor to comprehend the financial is
sue is plainly visible.-Peorfa democrat.
There is just as much difference between
the tariff question and finance as there is
between sound Democracy and the fanatic
al financial heresies advocated by the
demogogical editor of the Peoria Democrat.
The tariff question is part OF the law of
trade. and is not leading branch of the
financial question. There is this difference,
however, between ''the brilliant ignora-
nous who edits the Rock Island ARGUS"
and the demagogue who edits the Peoria
Democrat. THE ARGUS man believes that
il is the duty of Democratic editor to adj
vocate sound Democratic principles, as
Democrat, and for the best interests of the
Democratic party. He further believes
that sound monetary system is one OF
the fundamental planks of Democracy.
He is in favor of free tariff, or tariff
for revenue only. and does not believe that
Democrats can afford to sacrifice lifelong
principles in order TO be on the supposed
popular side of every new question that
may be sprung during times of undue
excitement. The demagogue who edits
the Peoria Democrat, while protesting to
be Democrat and publishing what he
calls a Democratic paper. palms Oft as
Democracy the financial heresies of the
widest imitation advocates, and the utter
ances of noted Communists and enemies of
law and order; advocates fusion, even
though it involve an abandonment of
Democratic organization, fit affords fresh
opportunity for him to play the role of
demagogue. The adaptability of the

If the Democratic party is to be sue
cessful in 1880, it must be upon sound
platform Of time honored principles free
from financial keresies, and plain out
spoken advocacy of sound financial doc
trine. There should be no lodging on any
question no ambiguousIy worded resolu.
tions. but straight platform of princi-
pies. Prominent among tthese are state
rights and free trade. With these two
necessary essentials to prosperity as the
leading issues there can be no question
about success.

The Democrats of Rock Island county
can largely increase the party vote by
forming clubs in all the townships. Bowl
ing has taken the initiative and will or
ganize club next Thursday, and every
other township in the county and the
wards in this city should do likewise.
THE ARGUS has repeatedly called atten-
ton to the necessity for better organiza-
ton, and there is no better time to begin
this work than now. Let the active work
ing Democrats take hold of this matter at
once and before the contest closes, we will
have first class organization, not only for
this year but for the fight in 1880. Warm
up to the work, Democrats, and begin at
once the perfecting of an organization.

Republican Eiectioneering Stuff.


The Cincinnati Gazette, always regarded
as one OF the most respectable and truth
full of Republican organs, uses this Ian
guage:
The only practicable way TO create
peace and law in the confederate states il
to show by our elections that a preponder-
ing part of the Northern people are united
against them, and that it is impossible for
their usurpation to seize the national gov
eminent
a great Republican gain in the North
ern elections will make change in the
attitude of the South. This is the way to
bring peace and free elections to the
South. Every Democratic vote in the
North Is vote to perpetuate and intensity
that despotism of violence and barbarism
IN the South which has abolished personal
rights, and which threatens TO this great
republic the shameful downfall of having
its entire government seized By a force
which has trampled upon elections"
The tirst OF these paragraphs confirms
the statement We have frequently made;
that the Republican party considers itself
the owner of the national government"
In lee simple, and any attempt to vote
that party out of power is therefore
usurpatlon.' The South has no more
intention ct "seizing the government"
tnan OF seizing the polar star. and is quite
as unable TO DO the one as the other. It
can aud Will. however, vote solid against
Republican principles and practices. and
by the aid of Northern Democrats rescue
the government from Republican control,

MAKE the most of it.
