Make Haste Slowly.
Bradstreet'sA Agency.


The month which just passed viii long
be remembered IN business circles as the
harbinger of a new era in prosperity. The
depression which has rested so heavily
over the commercial community for the
past six years, has suddenly been dis
PEELED, aud the great channels OF trade
are now feeling the influence of the rising
tide of success which has been so long and
so earnestly hoped for, but which seemed,
with each recurring season. until this, so
remote. Sudden, however, as this change
has been, it is not without substantial
reason, The circulating medium which is
the basis of all commercial transactions, is
to-day better than it has ever been in the
history of this country, for it is based upon
the precious metals which are universally
recognized throughout the world as intrin-
sic value, and it is current at its face 10
every city and hamlet in the land. All
the more remarkable does it seem when
we call the fact that it is the first time
such an event has occurred in prosperous
years.
Losses and disappointments. it is said.
are monitorY and instructive. Let it APP
pear so. Most of us had some very hard
lessons to learn 10 practical economy dur
ing the past period of gloom and depres-
sion, and for this curriculum we should all
be better prepared now to view dispas-
sionately the present prospect, and to re-
ceive with perfect self-balance the future
prosperity dawning upon us. We must
make haste slowly, always bearing in
mind that our desires have been quicken
ed by the suffering of the'past six years, and
are stimulated by the new condition of
things, the tendency being to rush forward
blindly in the excitement of the hour.

A Rockford Gazette man visited the
penitentiary at Joliet the other day. and
tells about some of the things he saw. AT
present there are nearly 1900 prisoners,
of whom nineteen are females They dali.

six barrels of fouer. and 200 gallons of
coffee, besides other food. Coffee is given
them for breakfast, water for dinner and
tea for supper. They do not glance at
visitors when marching to work, nor when
at labor. The shoe shop contains 426
men. 1t is quite sight to see SO many
who do not look up as visitor enters. The
men are said to turn out more work than
laborers in the same employment working
under ordinary circumstances. The state
gets about fifty cents day for each con-
vict whose labor is contracted for. The
guards are armed with nothing but heavy
stick or cane. The real guards, however

There are thirty SIX men in the peniten-

been there over ten years. The prison is
furnished with library where the conyicts

They are also supplied with school and

The returns from Ohio and Iowa show
a marked decrease in the greenback vote.
In the former state, in some counties. the
greenbackers abandoned their organiza-
ton entirely and voted for the old parties,
This indicates that the nationals will not
figure as party in the presidential con-
test. 1t also shows conclusively that the
mass of the people are for a sound none
tary system. and that the fanatics cannot
succeed. The national greenback party
is dead beyond recovery. The fight 10
1880 will be between the two old parties
and in an even contest Democracy will
come out ahead.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-10-15

The Republican campaign in 1880 will
be fought on the platform of blood" and
the solid south"-at least that is now
the evident intention, 1t lies in the
power of Democracy to force a different
issue if wise leadership prevail. and a
standard bearer be selected of undoubted
integrity and sound financial views. We
do not believe the financial question will
figure to any very great extent in 1880
but the candidate of the Democracy must
be a man whose views on the currency
question must be so pronounced as to
admit OF no questioning. The platform of
the Democracy in 1880 should embody al
least two planks-free trade and home
rule-with these as watchwords the Dem.
Gratis can win. and sweep the west and
south like whirlwind.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-10-15

The Democratic party to succeed IN
1880, must abandon all demagogical leaders,
and follow the advice of such men only
who are true to the principles of sound
Democracy in all things-men who are
fearless. but discreet-bold, yet possessed
of calm Judgment. The panderings'
dickers and trades with second handed
factions must be stopped. The campaign
must necessarily be bold, aggressive and
untiring-The platform sound in all es-
sentials, and free from financial heresies and
patronizing of all kinds. Fight the battle
on the old and time honored principles OF
Democracy and success will be the out
come. Pander to the wild fanaticism OF
leaders who are ready to fall in with every
new theory that temporary excitement de-
mauds-and we will fail.
