2. South Carolina tissue ballots.

A Common Sense View.

A good many Democrats take the
Standard They take it and read it
from year to year. Many read it who
are not subscribers. They read their
neighbor's paper. That is right. We
want every Democrat in the county to
read the Standard Most of our regu-
lar yearly subscribers among the Dem
ocrats are honest men, who not only
pay for their Standard, but pay their
other debts.
Now, friendly Democrat, we want
to ask you a fair, civil question. What
do you think of your party leaders in
Jackson who are teaching you finance?
How have they managed their own
finances? Suppose you are a farmer
in the country, and on Saturday you
come to town in wagon, and bring
with you quarter of beef, a few
sacks of potatoes, dozen chickens
&c., to sell. One Of the Jackson f.
nanciers meets you on the streets, and
wants some of your produce. He says
he does not just have the money in his
pocket, but he will be sure to pay you
next Saturday We do not want to
mention names; but how many OF
these fellows would you trust for a
spring chicken, or peck Of potatoes
Not one in twenty, for if you did you
would never get your pay. We have
tried some Of them.
Now if that is the kind of men who
are set apart by your party as you1
financial instructors, what are theil
teachings worth? Will you think Of
this, the next time these rascals begin
to howl about John Sherman, and the

Natural Curiosity.

To the Editor of the Standard:
Notwithstanding the general rough
ness and backwoods like character of
the greater part of Liberty township,
it cannot readily swallow the repug-
nant misnomer Of Nowhere. Among
other curiosities, here is one. Last
Spring while William John Whaley
was building a fence on the line be-
tween Mr.. Jerome Behem's and Mr..
Lewis Gillilan's farms, he caught an
earless young squirrel. It was as
tame when captured as it is now. He
took it home for pet, when in a
short time new oddity revealed itself.
Its incisors in the upper jaw grew to
the enormous length of about two
inches, turning to the left and coming
out of its mouth. Its lower ones did
likewise except that they turned to the
right. So, you see. y could not eat
anything hard, 5orn, acorns, etc.
The curious part OF the story is that
the teeth grow so very fast, so fast
indeed, that they must be broken of
every week or so, that the creature
may eat. 'Tis good thing for it thai
it is a captive, for if it were not, il
would die. Ii any of your readers arr
squirrelologists let him rise up ant
explain" this phenomenon. Mr.. w
lives near Mr.. Eli Tope's.

The Okolona Southern States !

The Okolona Southern States is
about such a paper as the Jackson
Express was during the war, with the
exception that the editor of the States
has some brains, and some sense, while
the editor of the Express idiot
Bowen-the cuckold of the Jackson
Democracy, had neither brains nor
sense.
Here are a few more gems from the
Southern States:
A Democratic President and a Supreme
Court, made Democratic by additional appoint
ments, will set things straight in 1881.
won't have Sherman at the head of the U. S.
Army after Thurman walks up the White
grand old Confederate.
They would wipe out State lines and make
Mississippi part and parcel of Massachusetts.
and the soil will drink blood, and the sky will
redden with fire for a thousand years before
they will be permitted to accomplish their OBJ
ject.

both to the laborer and the capitalist.
In each instance the advantage inclines
to the same side, and the result of the
comparisons is very much in favor of
the American laborer.
In Belgium. where a continuous
and hard struggle is necessary in order
to enable the laborer barely to live,
there is still happy and contented
working people. The wages are ex-
ceedingly low, and the laboring classes
are enabled to subsist at all only by
the good understanding which exists
between them and their employers,
which leads thin to mutual conces-
sions and helpfulness when necessary.
A strike, such as this country so often
experiences, would ruin both them
selves and the industries Of Belgium
completely and at once But the
workshops are seldom closed, and tc
this fact, and to the great frugality il
their way Of living, it is owing that
they are able to exist upon the wages
they earn. The following tables will
show the weekly wages paid in that
country, and the cost of living as
compared with the wages and prices Of

The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1879-08-28
Following are the prices of the nee
essaries Of life:
Brussels: New-York.

Agricultural laborers receive only
from II to 90 cents per day for men,
and from Is to II cents per day for
women. When these laborers are
hired by the month as servants they
receive from 81 Is to 50, with food
and lodging.
In France, the same very favorable
contrast is shown in favor of Ameri-
can laborers in the rate of wages. By
far the greatest industry Of France is
agriculture; 100000 Of her work
ing-classes are engaged in that work
alone. The average weekly wages of
these laborers are, for men, without
board or lodging, So Is, with board
and lodging, 81 36; for women, with
out board and lodging, 81 10. Out
of these wages it is said many of them
succeed not only in supporting
their families but in time become
themselves landed proprietors. AS is
well known the French, of all people,
have best learned the secret of econo-
my, and how to get the most comfort
and happiness out of a very little
This fact, together with their willing
ness to work, doubtless accounts for
their success.
But it is, perhaps, with the laborers
of Great Britain that the laborers of
the United States are most fairly to
be compared in the matter of wages
and prices. The average wages there
in some of the -employments, as COM
pared with those in this country, are

ga HOWling Dervish.'

1t has been, now-We do not re-
member just how many years-but
several, since Tom Ewing began howl
ing about "hard times" and 'starva-
ton among the great mass Of voters,
as a result of Republican mismanage-
ment of public affairs. The specific
remedy suggested by Mr.. Ewing for
these woes was the placing of the
Democratic party in power. Mr.. Ew-
ing laid great stress upon his own
abilities as a. fnancier.
During the years Mr.. Ewing has
been bowling about the distress and
ruin wrought by the Republican par
ty, the people have listened to him,
and to statesmen of his class, to some
extent. They have given Mr.. Ewing
fair test as to whether or not legis-
lation has anything to do with ''hard
times" They recently placed a Dem
ocratic majority in the Ohio Legisla-
ture-did that Democratic majority
make times any better? No! They
consumed great deal Of time in the
most shameful partisan legislation
that ever disgraced State.
The people went so far in following
Mr.. Ewing's advice as to elect Mr..
Ewing to Congress, and though there
was a good working majority of Dem
Gratis in Congress, Mr.. Ewing, with
his crazy financial schemes, was a
laughing stock for that body.
Thus we see that Mr.. Ewing has
been taken at his word by the people
the Democrats have been in power
in the Legislative branch of the Gen
eral Government, and Mr.. Ewing has
been sent as Representative, yet the
''times did not improve, until Secreta-
ry Sherman, one of the greatest fnan-
ciers that ever lived, began to make
Resumption success instead of an
experiment. Mr.. Sherman's success
gave the people confidence in his abiI-
ity as a fnancier, trade began to re-
revive, money was invested, and all
industrial pursuits began to have
brighter prospects. Yet all this time
Ewing has been bowling his old
threadbare story of starvation and ru-
in, and attempting to introduce into
Congress measures which were treated
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1879-08-28

Many of our Democratic friends are
becoming very pious on account of the
munifcent manifestations of Divine
benevolence, in vouchsafing to the
people abundant crops and a revival of
business industries. John Sherman s
financial successes have nothing to do
with it, you know, it's Providence.
Still, our Democratic friends prom
ise us that if we will elect Demo-
cratic Administration, they will choke
"Providence' off, and make times
worse than ever. This is about all the
inducement they offer to any mtelli-
gent man to vote the Democratic
ticket.

Dixon Murdered.

The news comes that the Yazoo
rebels, who compelled one Dixon to
withdraw as candidate for Sheriff,
have now murdered Dixon. And the
Columbus Democrat approves and ap-
plauds the murder The Democrat
says Dixon was bad man. No one
disputes that Dixon himself bull
dozed the negroes, and he only gets
a dose of his own medicine; but does
that justify his murderers? The
Democrat thinks that when bad
man wants to run for Office, good citi-
zens have right to compel him to
withdraw, and then murder him. And
this is Ohio Democracy.

crops, when all kinds of business is re-
viving, when Resumption has proved
a success, when our paper currency is
just as good as gold, when the rebel
Democracy has just given the country
an illustration of its capacity for blind
partisan legislation and infamous rev.
olutionary conduct, Gen. Ewing is
still going about howling ruin and de-
struction, and preaching the glory of
Tom Ewing and the Democratic par
ty! Mr.. Ewing is the ''howling der
yishh of the political arena.
