"Cheap john

We promised many Of our readers
that as soon as The price of paper
would permit, we would reduce the
Record to 81 per year. We a now
buy paper in Hannibal for 9 cents a
pound, which leaves us a small mar
gin of profit for a years subscription
at S1.-Ralls County Record.
We can buy paper IN st. Louis for
Z cents, and istlll cannot publish a
paper for 81 per year. We would
not insult our readers by offering
them a paper for 81 per year. Ii
you can't get out a paper worth
81 so, why quit Oh else charge 80
cents per year and issue your sheet
blank. Don't attempt to ruin the
business simply because you can't
edit a paper worth 81 so per year.
A city paper that uses its daily mat
ter in it's weekly may afford to pub
lish a paper for 81, especially when
they have thousands of subscribers.
But when a paper with two or three
hundred subscribers comes down to
81 you may know Its patrons, ex'
pecting but little, will even then be
disappointed in the quality of even
the little.

We are glad to know that Col.
Burch is meeting with hearty and
liberal support from u public splr-
tied citizens, in his plan for advertis-
ing our city and county abroad.
Thirty of our leading citizens have
already endorsed the plan for a
county handbook, by liberal contri-
buttons, and others will follow as the
plan is presented to them. Capt.
Drew has taken views of some of the
finest city and suburban places tor
the illustration of the handbook, and
is meeting with liberal encouragement
at Vandalia. Col. Burch will visit
the country next week, at the invita-
ton of several of our prominent
farmers, and review some of the rep
resentative farms, herds and orchards.
If the work in hand does half as much
for Audrain county as the Colonel's
former letter, our people will be
amply repaid for their contributions
to the work.

The .DeadS Shall Met Rise unt1l,s Gabr,s,
RIoss lbs Horn.

Last Tuesday afternoon Uncle Col
Hon. Jesse Harper, of Illinois, chair
man of the National Greeback Com.
mittee, and by the way a "white-
handed lawyeEs spoke at the court
house To about @ Democrats, Fl Re-
publlcans and Is Greenbackers.
Weget the great~pndying doctrines
in broken doses spasmodically in
Mexico of late. Only about a month
since Gillette delivered himself Of a
still horn speech in Mexico.
Uncle Jesse isa conservative, hu-
morous speaker and holds an au-
dience we'll. He used to Be a Re-
publican and spent most of his time
in @herating the laws he helped to
make. In the course of a few months
we expect to hear of his laughing at
the flight he is now attempting to
take. He is jus: about right on a
good many points, but shows no way
to accomplish said ends, He picks
faults in the old party, but shows no
remedy. He talks on the SUPPOSE
ton that every man is in debt and
oppressed. This we know to be a mis-
take. The country could hardly be
in a more prosperous condition than
it is to-day. The honest working
man finds no trouble in paying his
debts. He claims that his party is
the God and Humanity party, and
that every good end could and
would be accomplished if he and his
party could only run the machine.
He did not tell what they would do
or how they would do it. His
speech was very pleasant TO listen to
and impressed a listener with mos,
anything except that Harper really
was sincere in the thought that his
party would or could do anything to
relieve the people from what they cal
their burdens. Can you infuse life
into a year old corpse? why tht
so-called leaders of the so-calleC
Greenback party all over the United
States are going back into the two
old parties. They see that nothing
can be accomplished with such ma
terial and such ideas as went t,
make up this side show to the Crane
political circus. The so-callet
Greenback party, ever in it's life
time, was but a mere excuse for
shadow. What can be expected O
its bones? Do. you expect fruit t
grow on railroad ties or watermelon
to flourish in a lime kiln? Do 70
looksfor heat in a blizzard or mann;
from a cyclone? Do you expect th
dead to rise, or the two old parties t.
die before Gabriel blows his horn
Do you expect corn to grow withou
rain, Or chinch bugs to flourish 0
wind? We know that none of GU
readers believe in impossibiFities
The Greenback party is dead-pas
