Every farmer knows that the price of his
hay. oxen, scows. sheep, hogs. butter, poultry
and eggs, depends upon the amount of money
in circulation. National Tribune.
Was it the variation of the amount of
money in circulation which made potatoes
that were worth only go cents per bushel
last fall. worth 81 90 per bushel in May,
and only 60 cents again in June? TAX
ing the price Of potatoes as a standard,

object was to beat the republican party. in
forming them he had never voted greenback

as he saw fit.
lie was told they would If the thing could
be arranged to have democrat placed upon
our ticket. A Mr.. VIM Of Clinton, who has
always voted the democratic ticket, (don't
claim to be anything else, was selected as
the man.
Is there any man to come forward and say
that Mr.. VIM has agreed to vote for Joseph
l.. Smith for Governor at the polls or

sprung upon you, not by the delegates

LUCKY BALpwIN's CAsE.--It begins to look
the devil, something, still protects the
famous house. Some months ago A. ID. Pen
sonnier, the principal witness for the Govern
ment in the case of E. j. Baldwin, under in
dictment for irregularities in connection with
the Los Angeles distillery, was at his own re-
quest arrested as a witness and placed on
Alcatraz island, to be kept there in default Of
81 900 bail. While he was 50 confined in
November last, a bond for the amount of his
bail was executed by Z. Dubedat When the
case was called for trial in the United States
District Court on the 18th instant Pensonnier
could not be found. The United States Dis
trict Attorney represents that Jules Cavalier,
q clerk for Baldwin, deposited 81 900 in gold
with the surety ~ indemnity. As near as can
be ascertsined Pensennier left for Central
America about ten days before the case was
called for trial. The United States Grand
Jury are investigating the circumstances con
nected with the affair. The United States
District Attorney should have enough sense
10 know that when Baldwins clerk came with
81, 600 that il meant nothing more than
much coin put up to effect the release of the
witness for all time. When defendant balls
the witnesses for the prosecution it always
has a suspicious look. The Grand Jury will
investigate the case and render report, q
long winded document that few people can
understand, and not worth the paper or time
consumed in the forming of it, Baldwin has
money and can commit crime with impunity.

MERRIE CHRISTMAS.

No day in the year has such a thorough
celebrated as a festival Of the Christian Church
its festivities are shared alike by the infidel
and the believer. The good cheer is univer-
sal. The British armies i'll India and Zulu
land will rest upon their arms to-day and
even should the foe attack, the soldiers will
take turns both at the festive board and the
rife pits The crash of arms and the beas
tial voice of war cannot drown ont the Christ
mas toast and song. The Arctic explorer will
somewhere ind a sprig of evergreen in the vast
expanse of desolation, or perhaps he gathered
one at the last port touched and saved it for
to-day. The grip of the ice foe, the wall Of
bitter winds and the onset Of remorseless
waters will not stay the Christmas feast In
a thousand mining camps the coast, the
gold hunters will lay aside the pick and sluice-
box to make merry over the occasion and the
rude cabins will be decorated with the green
spoils Of the forest. In places the celebration
will be rough and rude there will be some
drunkenness, and some fighting, and perhap,
some lives let ont, but the spirit in which the
men begin the festivities will be we'll meant,
no matter how the ending may be. The fu-
neral will be big one, the contributions to
the widows fund will be hearty and sponta-
neous, and the stars will continue to shine
the rugged rocks Of their camps with as soft
light as ever flooded the hushed plains of Pal
estine. In the great cities where vice and
poverty abound, there will be many Christ
mas meal made off sickly mackerel and pot
Of beer, and weary hearts go back to the
Christmas of last year, when song and wine
and good company enlivened the feast of

and frollcs and good dinners. The majority
will give and receive, and laugh and make
merry. The houses will be festooned with
smilax and cedar, and the scent of the forests
will fill the rooms The Christmas tree will
glow and glitter, and happy faces will sur
round it. The big churches will reflect a
blaze of glory, the grand tones of the organ /
will echo from long drawn isles to "vsulted
roof, blending with the music of surpliced
choirs. The poor and the rich will kneel to-
yether, the bad and the good will bend before |
n common altar, the sordid and the generous,
the candid and the hypocrticsl, the cruel and |
the kind, the stained lives and the spotless |
