The loss OF productive labor by the
drink traffic, in single year, has cost this
nation more, by fifty-one millions Of dol
lars, than all the labor of the whole coun-
try. And this makes no estimate of the
want and woe, of broken hearts and rup-
tnred homes, of the wretchedness and sor-
row of worse than widowed wives and or.
phaned children, for none of these have a
value in dollars and cents. And yet our
legislators can in this find no cause for the
poverty and wretchedness that are in our
land. Is this the time spoken of by the
prophet: 81 will give children to be their
princes and babes shall rule over them?"

A correspondent from Columbus to the
Toledo Telegram, gives a vivid personnel
Of the Representatives from the Nort :
western districts of the State. We copy
below that portion referring to Capt. w. H..
Wetmore, of this county, which every one
who has been to Columbus or has taken
the trouble to ascertain the facts, will rec.
egnizs as correct representation:
Capt. Wetmore, OF Wood county, is, ike
General Grant, slubby, solid man. For
strong practical good sense, he has no su-
perior in the legislature. No member has
been in his seat more than the Captain,
and no man is better posted on legislative
business. He knows the PURPOSES and bear
ings OF every bill and votes intelligently on
all occasions. He is not talker, but II
worker, and his extensive practical know
ledge upon agricultural affairs and ship
ping interests make him empla'ically II
nseful member. Wood county has never
been better represented in the Legislature
than now, and she will do herself and the
State good service by sending him back.

The keepers OF whisky saloons and dram
shops produce nothing, but support them
selyes and families on the earnings of 9th
ers. Itwould be better for the community
to support such venders of alcoholic drinks

they will not work, than to permit hem TO
support themselves and families by making

of the raw material, as our State law maxi
era have not in the past been deferred by
