Correspondence of the News.
Letter from Southwestern iowa.
AvONDALE, Adair CO., Ia, !
July 25, 1879. :

July Is, 1879.
DEAR News II suppose that some
Of your readers would like to hear
from this part of the western cOun-
try. I am situated on the western
branch of the Nodaway river, near a
small village called Avondale. I
have been here about Is months.
This is a very nice country. The
prairie is somewhat rolling. The
soil is as good as any I have ever
seen, and I have been over q good
part Of the western country.
Crops are good. Wheat is better
than 7 ever saw. Corn looks fine.
Oats will yield so bushels per acre,
Potatoes good.
I came here from Highland coun-
ty. I lived in that county for q
years, u miles southeast of Hills
boro, near Belfast, and IwOUld say to
the young men in that part Of the
county, come West while you are
young, and then you will be sure to
get some kind of a start. As long
as you live among the old yellow
hills. you not expect to make for
tune. If had come West some four
years ago, I would have been in good
circumstances nov, though I have
done well, with what bad luck have
had.
Health is good here. We have
good water and plenty Of it. Har-
vest is over and threshing on hand.
Yours, L W. B.

We insert the above, because it is
true in fact. While we do not &C
cept his conclusions, we must admit
that he has made a good statement
of the difficulties in the way of
County Supervision; but the true
worker in reform does not drop
his oar because of difficulties. 1t
may be that the average sub-district
official knows what is best for the
schools, but our observation and ex-
perience does not point in that di-
rectiOn.

IN CONCLUSION
he says

1V Gays
My friends, all the policies of the repub.
licaD party have discussed this evening,
though apparently differing widely il
character, are in fact closely related in
purpose and effect | believe them all t6
be part OF general tendency OF the classes
which control that party to practically
subvert popular government. The steps
are first to destroy the independence oil
the masses by immensely increasing the
burdens OF debts and taxes, and by cut
ting oft the opportunities and rewards of
labor, and by the same act swell the
wealth aud power of the favored classes,
and then, by allying the money power to
the llilmltable forces OF government nat
ronage and plumber, to control elections bv
| bribery and force and practically snbvert
the freedom OF the ballot. Lock at the
powers whioh may be brought to bear to
effect this result; see the fast growth Of
corporations, some of which already ride
| with an iron hand the greatest states of
the republic; look at two thousand ma
tional banks holding almost every business
man and business interest in their erasn
see the veteran corps Of one hundred
thousand active partisans paid from the
public treasury, and tell me whether, If
the policy which has impoverished the
mass of the people and piled up vast for
tunes which have risen as rapidly as cloud
mountains in the sky shall be permitted TO
go on. These powers. backed by the
army and navy, may now soon be strong
enough to make rule by ballot as complete =
~ farce as it was in the republic of thu
b gus Napoleon. Neither the great wealth
holding the powers of this republic nor
the party which represents them can be
trusted with the preservation oil the sacre d
FIRE of liberty. They have not suficien,
interest In preserving it. They are at least
as safe under a corrupt and arIstocrati.,
rule. They want privilege, exemption.
aristocracy; not equal rights, equal taxa
ton and the ballot. 1t may be long before
they strike at the mere form of our gov
eminent, but they have struck and are
striking at its spirit. | speak not of indi-
viduals, but of classes; for among the
wealthiest men are many of both parties
VINO love and are faithful to our democrat
ic system of government. But it is the
mass of the people farmers, owners of
small industries and those whose depen-
dence and hope for themselves aud their
children is in well-paid labor who have
the profoundest interest in the preserva-
ton of every part of this most perfect
form of government, in which is set the
jewel of popular liberty. They have il in
their keeping in the free ballot held by
independent men, and if they would hand
it down to their children, they must pro-
tect themselves from impoverishment by
lnsidious finance legislation, and prevent
the ballot box from being wrested from
the control of their home government
