From the IoUn Free Press:

Mr.. o. II. Manning, tho Rcpubli-
can nominee for Licutcntant-G Cover
or Of this State, is an ardent sup
porter Of tho present railroad COM
missioner system. He did oil that
laid within his power for the repeal
Of what is commonly called the
Granger w,law that governed
tho charges for freights and pass
cngcr traffic. We give good Re.
publican authority.
The Davenport Gazette says:
I'VE do not care where he was
born, we do care that In the general
assembly OF 1873 Mr.. Manning was
ono OF the most pronounced, active,
persistent and offensive advocates OF
tho unconditional repeal Of the rail-
road tariff law. We do not accept rs
a justification therefor that, as the
Republican boastingly asserts, Mr..
Manning twas in distinguished COM
pany, and in the majority" Our
clear conviction Is that the Rcpubli-
can party Of Iowa cannot afford to
carry such u candidate in this year
OF grace. There are too many dan.
ger lines to cross. Mr.. Manning will
not be harmed, therefore, II he be
counscled to devote his attention tC
his law practice for the present, and
allow some moro eligible gentleman
to be selected for the lieutenant gov
crrorship this year."

The New Orleans Pienyatnp, in
view Of the low price OF the great
southern staple, advises the planters
to raise less cotton. The idea Is
there Is an ovcrproduction OF cotton
because tho price Is below the cost Of
production. When the farmers OF
Maine sold their hogs for four cents
a pound and found they had lost one
cent a pound on the hogs, they made
up that loss by cutting off their min
lister tax, and there seemed to be an
over production Of ministers. There
is The same trouble in the west. Hogs
and corn hardly pay for raising.
Pig-iron don't sell at any profit,
which shows that the iron and hard
ware industries are depressed. The
Manufacturers OF Now England are
not prosperous. A bale OF cotton is
shipped from New Orleans to New
England and made into ovcralls, and
the overall:s are sold ut 20 cents q
pair. Where Is the profit? Not to
the cotton raiser; not to the MANU-
facturcr; not to the sewing woman
who makes the ovcralls. But the
fundholdcr can buy his ovcralls
chcap-flvc pair for q dollar. The
farmers daughter who drives two
horses hitchci TO Q cultivator across
the prairis Can buy calico Tor five
cents a yard, but she don't have
many now gowns, because the corn
don't sell for much more than enough
to pay for the cost OF raising. There
is tho same word oil along the line
Of industry-priccs low, wages low,
little or no profit in hiring labor, and
q seeming glut in the market OF labor
products but a rise In bond products.
There Is no cver-production OF cot
ton In the south nor Of corn in the
north. There is q market In the
homes Of the people for the products
OF labor, but the people orc working
for too big dollar. The people OF
the south don't raise too much cot
ton, but there is too much cotton In
the dollar.-Chasc's Enquirer.

Contraction OF the currency de-
pressed the prices OF products fully
80 per cent. Since the volume Of the
currency has been on tho increase
its effects upon the price OF commodi-
ties has been entirely overcome hy
increased rates of transportation.
So if money should become rs plenty
as ii was in 1866, the railroads have
the power to absorb all the increase
in eastern prices, and leave producers
in rs bad condition as they We're dur
Ing the panic. unless these monopo-
lies arc restrained and controlled 10y

A Good Foundation, !.

One Of the greatest troubles Of our
people is weakness Of the stomach.
As this soon causes Indigestion,
Nervousness and rheumatism, they
prevail in almost every American
household. There Is positively no
need for anybody to saffcrfrom these
painful troubles who can buy a 80 CT,
bottle OF Pnrkcr's Ginger Tonic; for
this superior medicine always tones
up the stomach and nervous system,
aud keeps the kidneys active In ear

ing good foundation for perfect

I, is said II tho coinage OF silver is
made free everybody who has money
and bonds will lose by the dcprccia-
ton OF their property. If the pro-
pcrty OF the few fundholders was Of
less value, the great mass OF the
people would find their property in
creased in value. Is this govern
ment Of the people and for the pcO-
pie, or for q few bondholdcrs? The
coordination" Of the bonded debt
is as chemc to perpetuate tho debt
and to pcrpctuate IN untaxed aristo-
cracy that will dictate to the gov
eminent, rs tho man who holds a
mortgage dictates to his victim. The
danger is tho people will rest quiet
under low rate Of interest while the
fundholding monopoly will gradually
tighten the cord around tho neck Of
industry until nll profits arc taken
from production. Our immense pro-
auctions may make the world rich
and at the same time make our pro-
ducers poor. When prices fall to q
point that there Is little or no pro-
fits in productive industry all pay
ments OF the public debt will stop,
there will seem to be a glut in the
market OF all productions and also a
glut in the money market. The
money will center in all tho large
cities and lie idle. Hard times will
come on and 1t will be said there is
too much money because it lies un-
used in boards, and this will be urg-
cd as q reason for suspending the
coinage OF silver and destroying the
greenbacks. Tho Supreme Court
may be called on to declare the
grcenbacks unconstitutional. When
the grcenbacl chat went down there
with the old Tag and staid until the
last rebel shot was fred and the
silver dollar arc out Of tho way, your
banks and your bonds will have
eternal life. The American bond
holder and his children after him
will reclinc on couch of down, but
the wealth producers will lie in 4 bed
OF thistles. Tho bondhOldcrs' wives
and daughters will rest in the shade
amid the mountain breezes OF the
north In the summer and spend the
winter in the genial climate Of the
south, while American born women
will work In the hoe-fleld with the
meE cultivating the corn. Enormous
crops Of corn will be exported ut q
price SO low that will defy Ill com
petition. Gold will fow to tbs
country: the puplic credit will grow
stronger; tondholders will grow
richer. Their slogan will be corn is
king, but the lives of those who raise
the corn will be a struggle for exis-
tencc. Farmers daughters instead
OF playing the piano viii learn to
handle tho hoe and the spade. II the
government was run in tho interest
Of the producer and not in the inter-
est Of the fundhOlders it would pay
enough Of its bonds with the idle
boards on hand to give prices a
permanent upward turn.-ChGse's
