Business Announcement.

In view of the fact that there are
now no elections nor issues pending tos
be decided at the ballot box, we have
determined to drop politics and devote +
the STANDARD to the interests of the
masses of our people in Warren and
the adjoining counties. To the agricul-S
tural, mineral, material, moral and in
tellectual prosperity of the country our
efforts will be directed, and to this endl
we solicit items of interest from farmers, !
mechanics, schools and churches, andl
general news, and ask the cooperation
of our citizens in making the STAND
ARD home and literary paper, and al
medium of communication among ALL
classes.
We hope to be able in our weekly
visitations to present something that
will profit the farmer, the mechanic,
the teacher and minister, and at the
same time, cultivate peace and har-
mony among neighbors and citizens
who have been unnecessarily estranged
from each other by the bitterness of
partizan feelings in the absence of our
better judgments. If every office,
State and National, for which we as
citizens of Warren county are entitled
to vote, were bestowed upon our county,
only seven or eight of our citizens
would be promoted thereby, while the
3OOS voters Of the country would moi
be effected by the favors thus bestowed
We state this to show that all thi
hue and cry about politics is for tn,
f.vored few at the expense of tn
many, We, therefore, propose to pub
fish the STANDARD in the interest o
the 3008 voters and the $4,000 peopl
they represent, rather than in further
ance of the plans and schemes of tn
seven office-seeknrs. And in this effor
we wish to make the STANDARD a we

A RATIONAL e

The Sacramento Bee thinks that Blaine
did the country good service in defeat
ing Grant for the Presidential nomina-
ton. 1t credits Blaine with patriotism
for this act. at was well, says our
contemporary, "that Blaine had the
wisdom, the courage and the power,
when he could not obtain the nomina-
ton himself, to join with Sherman to de-
feat Grant. For that patriotic act Grant
never has, and we suppose never WILL
forgive him." Everybody knows this.
Nobody has forgotten the delightful feel
ing among the chiefs at the Chicago Con-
vention; how self-sacriticing they were;
how considerable of the nations honor
and welfare. Mr.. Blaine knew how
strong he was before the people, and he
knew also how easy a thing it would be
for the Democrats to slaughter General
Grant. Mr.. Blaine also knew that
James A. Garfield was q stronger candl-
date than himself. He had Garfield IN
his eye all through the blood and sweat
of the turbulent convention. He knew
that there was one man in the crowd
who would stick to Garfield and keep
him in the ring until Grant was
souelched. When he found that he had
at last knocked Mr.. Grant out OF time,
and sat down on him, his white plume
waved t~riumphantly. So base an idea
as, "Anything to beat Grant," had
never occurred to his mind in the tight.
He had the whole programme prear-
ranged. With Grants light extinguished
he had only to pick out the invincible
one.vote man and go for him. As to
Gar6eld's election there could be no
doubt. Hence he threw his forces over
to him, not because he was an inoffenslve
dark horse in the convention, but be-
cause every man who was at all familiar
with the political situation knew thai
Garfield was the most popular candidate
in the United States. All this was as
clear as sunlight. Nobody was surprised
at the outcome Of the wrangle in the
convention, and Mr.. Blaine least OF all

SHALL. POsTERITY PAY7

The United States is fast reaching a
liquidation of the national debt. Would
it not be we'll to ease up a little and let
the third and fourth generations take a
hand in this particular work? During
the fiscal year of lss0-sl the total
amount collected by the Federal Govern
mens in the way Of taxation was $685..
$50, 900. OF this large amount only
sl09, COG, SIT was required for the ordi.
nary administration Of the public BUSH
ness of the Government. The payment
of interest on the public debt consumed
some Ss4, 57l,47s additional, making the
total Of legitimate expenses equal to
Sl94, 27s, 295. Out Of the remainder,
pensions to the amount of nearly $70,.
100000 per annum are paid, leaving
500, 900, 600 per mum to be applied in
the reduction of the public debt. The
principal part of the above revenue is
raised by customs receipts, which amount
ed in lsS0-Sl to Sl97, $50, 900. The So
called internal revenue system last year
produced $l55, 600, 900. As this inter-
nal revenue tax is the most oppressive
and vexatious Of all the taxes raised by
the Government. it is questionable
whether it would not be better to abol-
ish the internal revenue system Of taxa
ton altogether, and leave a portion of
the public debt as a legacy to posterity.
