Barbed wire has taken the place Of
boards for making farm fences in most
parts Of the country. 1t is fortunate
that substitute was found for lumber,
which is fast becoming scarce and high.
A necessity now exists for finding some.
thing to take the place of wood for
making supports for the wire. The
supply of cedar, which is most suitable
for posts on account of its lightness
and durability, is being exhausted very
rapidly. The best trees are being used
for making telegraph poles. The very
large trees are being converted into
woodenware. Large quantities of cedar
lumber are employed for paying-bloeks.
The cedar is Of very slow growth, and
no one attempts to cultivate il for tim
ber purposes. In some parts of the
country iron posts are coming into use
for supporting wire, and they give very
good satisfaction In most respects.
They are liable to rust il they are not
painted, bnt otherwise they are very
durable They DO not break or burn
up. They can be driven into the
ground and are not likely to be thrown
out by the action Of the frost. The princi
pal objections to them are their weight
and cost. In many parts OF the conn'
try stone can he utilized Tor making
fence posts to good advantage, In tlls
East granite is abundant, and posts 81

4 knowledge more important than
any other is to have knowledge OF our
selves. To know ones self guards
from temptations too strong for us, and
inspires patience. He who fails to
know what he really is is often led into
trials of strength in which he suffers
only defeat. He is SO ignorant Of his
weakness that he allows himself to be
tempted to do things which may work
his ruin It's true some have too high
an opinion of themselves, while others
not high enough. Believe Yourself to
he right as long as YOU truly think you
are doing the right thing, and never
mind what others may say; but rely on
Yourself for what you are yourself.
Take the right estimate and never let
another cause You to think more or less
Of Yourself than You deserve. It's bet
ter for one to earn fortune by his own
experience and self.reliance than the
knowledge of others, and then not
know how to keep it. Never allow
Yourself to imagine you are not capable
Of doing what many Others have done
aud can do, and sit down and sigh, and
say, "Oh. / can't" Can't is a small
word, but it has been the rnin OF many;
when ii they would only have selfre'
lance. energy and determination, they
would soon see and know themselves N
the right light, Nothing is more beau
tiful, noble and grand IN both men and
| women than energy and self-reliance.

THE BANKS AGAIN AHEAD.
A s3,OOo,Oo0 Haul This Tim.


from the Iowa Ttibune.l
II will be remembered that no sooner
was the law of March 3 passed, re-
ieving the banks of ST., 900, 900 of taxes
per annum, than bankers maintained
that taxes already earned could not be
collected. The case was submitted to
Attorney-G Brewster. He has
now made his report, OF course against
the people and for the banks. He de-
cides that no tax can be collected upon
the deposits and capital of National
banks since the 1st day Of last January
(three months before the law passed),
and that none can be collected from
private and State banks since the 1st
day of last December (four months be-
fore the law. What fine thing, in
deed it is for these fellows to not only
own the law-makes, but also the officers
who shall interpret the laws. This is
modern Republicanism.
Below we give the latest report OF the
value OF some bank stocks in New York
city that our readers may see what Iowa
Congressman do in Washington, whose
interests they serve. The par of these
stocks is 800 a share. While these
banks go untaxed by the General Gov
ernment, the farmers and toilers of
Iowa and the whole land must pay
/ their taxes for them. Your representa-
tives have SO voted. Now let them or
der all the take, the banks have ever
had, returned with interest. Make it
clean. The people will submit. They
are used to it:
