To The Republicans Of Wisconsin,

The undersigned, by direction Of
his associates on the State Central
Committee, begs to remind the Re-
publicans of Wisconsin of the i'm
portance of full vote at our cleo
ton on the Fourth of November.
There is danger, if individual Repub-
licans leave to others the perform
ance of political duties that rest alike
upon all. It is not sufficient to be-
lieve in Republican doctrines. 1t is
a duty you owe the party whose
principles you approve, that your
convictions are crystalized into
vote and further, that you see that
the full Republican vote of your
election precinct is polled. In this
manner will your opinions be effec-
tually felt, and thus will you help to
shape the destiny Of the nation. We
appeal to you who read these lines
to devote one day to the service of
the party that preserved the Union.
As you go to the election precinct,
stop on the way and urge your
neighbors to go also, and do not re-
turn home until you know every Re-
publican vote in your township has
been cast, and that an honest count
will be forthcoming. AS was the
response to the call of Abraham
Lincoln for three hundred thou
sand more" SO let your response be
to this call for rousing vote-a vote
not merely to defeat the Democratic
party in Wisconsin (for they were
beaten from the beginning by their
own vacillating course, stupidity and
folly, but to crush and bury forever
out of sight dynasty that has filed
our land with mourning and bur-
dened our country with debt a
party that if left a foothold upon
which to stand, will plot the ruin of
our credit, tarnish our national honor,
turn our money into irredeemable
issues of fat shinplasters, and stop
again the wheels Of busy prosperity,
just beginning to move. You can
not afford to take the risk that may
be the result of indifference. There
fore the Central Committee appeal
to you to give a vote that by its
overwhelming emphasis shall be-
come the talisman and example Of
all other States in 1880.
Let the Republicans of Wisconsin
turn out en- mdsSe, and make the
victory a Waterloo.
r. H. BAKER,
Chairman State Central Committee.

With these authentic and significant fact and
figures before us, we may reasonably assume
that the country has entered again upon period
tions now are, have the good times come to stay?
What can we do in private and in public affairs
to prolong the period or prosperity, and to miti-
gate the severity of hard times when they
again return? The prospects are now bright,
but all experience teaches that the wheel of
human affairs, always turning, brings around
those tremendous events called financial panics,
if not with regularity at any rate with certainty
The writer of an intelligent article in one of
the monthles says: "Panics, it has been observ-
country. and Gmost every ten years in Eng
land" The Explanation of this is not difficult
to discover. In good times the tendency is to ex-
debt. Many spend more than they earn, and
the balance of trade soon begins to run against
communities and individuals. When this has
