A Bout Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufactu-
rsIs has led 70 an extent Of adulteration
and cheapening of material never before
known in the business. Crude rubber has
the quality Of absorbing or of becoming
incorporated with very large quantity of
cheap and bulky substances, like amp
black, chalk, &C., which cannot be detected
By the uninitiated. and which impair the
durability OF the goods. People call for
low priced goods. not rejecting that low
psicss always mean low quality. The re.
suit Il, they vast money on "wild cat"
Rubber Boots, when an extra dollar or two
would buy them pair which will wear to
their utmost satisfaction Q whole season
and more. The "95" per cent. booot, de-
scribsd in another column, is meant to re.
form this abuse, and is worth the inspec-
ticn Of those in need of real good article.

Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away, any one viewing the
6eld, can easily zee the cause Of the
result. We have always insisted,
through the columns of this paper,
that the Democrats made mistake
In nominating the weak material they
did. The tune has passed. and will
never return, when either party can
take up any man, no matter how in
competent, and elect him. The re-
suit will almost invariably be defeat;
the last Democratic ticket demon
strates this fact. Mr.. Frymute is
known to be . good, competent man
for the position he desired; although
opposed to an excellent man he car
risd the strength Of his party and was
elected by over four hundred mejori-
~. The result was otherwise with
the other candidates for the reasons
assigned above. There are two facts
that ere making Democratic majori-
ties small in this county; one is the
glaring, unreasonable mistakes Of some
Of the leaders, and the other the silly
management of Lew Green in the
Herald. In Ave years more. if he con-
trolls the organ, you won't have a cor
poraPs guard. ia

The Greenback press and speakers are
branded as false prophets because they
prophesisd that resumption would produce
great disturbance in the money market,
but to show how we'll their prophesies were
grounded, it is only necessary to cite ad-i
mi,ted facts.
The New York Express of the 18th inst
says:
The banks received large amounts of
money from the treasury on account of the
gold arriving from Europe; but at the
same time they paid considerable into the
treasury for A per cent. bonds, and send
large amounts of currency to the inte rior.
If it had not been for these arrivals of gold
from Europe there would have been
great disturbance in the money market.
Nothing then, but the failure of the
crops in Europe, and an abundant harvest
in America, which no human sagacity or
wisdom could have foretold, prevented all
the dire calamities which the Greenback
advocates saw impending. And of this

The prosperity which is now dawning
over the entire country will shortly fall

with its nurses and attendants
Are men SO stupid that they cannot see
that but for the accidental coincidence of
a famine in Europe, and an abundant hsr.

Do they not see that whatever there is
of increased prosperity is the result of &C.

II may be sufficient to bridge the Repub-
lican party over the next election, but the
bridge will fall when the accidental prop
is removed.

OHIO STATE PLATFORM.
OF the National Greenback Labor Par.
ty, Adopted at Ol um bus, June
4th 1879.

WHEREAS, We recognize the deplora-
BILE commercial and industrial condition of
our country as something appalling to con-
template, and unhesitatinglY charge this
suffering and degradation as the result of
the legislation of the past quarter century
being solely in the. interest of q moneyed
aristocracy and corrupt corporations.
We hold both the Republican and
Democratic parties equally responsible for
the nefarious and ruinous policy that has
been pursued, and point to their record as
full and complete evidence to the people
that il is folly to hope for relief from eth
er, and therefore declare:
x1st. In the recognition and distribution
of civil and political rights aud privileges,
there should be no favoritism on account
of birth, color, creed or financial condition.
2. The General Government should
issue an ample volume of full legal tender
currency to meet the business needs of the
country and to promptly pay all its debts.
8. The funding of the National debt
into long time bonds to be paid over and
over in the form of interest, absorbing the
wealth of the nation, making business
prosperity an impossibility, reducing the
laborer to condition of servile slavery
and rendering the welfare of Ethe nation
subservient to the interests of the bond
holding class, is an outrage SO monstrous
that any political party that sanctions it is
unworthy the support of intelligent and
honest men.
A. We demand the immediate calling
n and payment of all United States bonds
in full legal tender money.
s. We are inaexibly opposed to the
issue by Government of interest bearing
bonds ofany description, for any purpose
whatever.
6. The National banking System should
be Immediately abolished.
Z. A tariff amply sufficient for the
protection of American industries should
be maintained until true financial system
may have shown it to be unnecessary to
tax labor for the support OF capital.
g. All internal revenue taxes should be
dispensed with and graduated income
tax be substituted.
g. While any resident of another
country of sufficient intelligence and en-
terprise to desire to better her or his con-
dition by making a home on American
soil, must be welcomed, the importation
of servile labor from any quarter, under
any preaense whatever, to compete with
American 6fee labor, should be prohibited
under the severest penalties.
10. That the elevation of labor to its
proper sphere and the education of the
masses to a correct appreciation of its i'm
portance in the affairs of :men should be
one of the principal aims and objects of
this party.
IL. We demand an equalization of
bounties for soldiers.
12' That prison labor should be utiliz-
ed by the State.
13. That eight hours shall be legal
days work.
IA. We denounce all reference to our
late civil war of malicious and insult
ing nature as revolutionary and wholly
Inconsistent with the principles of free
government and antagonistic to the resto-
ration Of the old motto, "United we stand
divided we fall"

GRAYSON COUNTY.

To the Editors of The Dispatch: Notice
was published in our county paper that Mr..
W. Y. Perkins would speak here last Mon
day, and pursuant to that notice he gave his
opinion of the so-caled " brokers' biil.'' He
opposed it with earnestness, giving bis rea-
sons for his opposition, which were many.
fIe made very good speech, but, since we
believe he is Oh the wrong side, we cannot
approves his arguments. The crowd was
small in the court house, and he was inter-
rupted once or twice with a faint demon
stration of applause. Colonel Dickinson
followed, and in q short speech made an ar
ray of facts and figures in support OF the
compromise bill that cannot be broken
down by any eloquence or logic. Several
times he was applauded- by bis bearers.
Parson Shular came next, and as he never
wants for words he made a bitter speech
against the brokers' bill " and funders,
and showed by his language that he wants
nobody in the country but farmers. j. l..

ment in reply to .Parson Shular. He was
