Cheese should be kept in a dry

ers. is about in the county. OF
course he has bargains, and no mat
ter how low his price may be the
bargain Is better for the peddler
than for the purchaser. Moth eaten
and damaged goods o. an utterly
worthless fabric is his usual stock in
trade. His object is to make sale;
he is gone before you learn how in
famously you have been swindled;
but were he in reach you and your
money would be parted and there is
no remedy that will make you whole.
The farmer who wants cloth can buy
from P. L. Grobel or from j. B. Ca
ward 4 Co, aud perhaps from other
merchants in town, and rely upon
getting just what they tell you. They
are here aud will remain here, are
responsible and 1t is AS much to their
interest as to yours that what they
sell you bear the recommend given.
Every town in the county is full Of
merchants who will be with you
when wanted, and though all may
not deal in WOODEN cloths, yet any OF
them can. and il desired will order
you honest cloths at as low rates as
Il good article can be furnished for.
Beware! the stranger who would
make you rich out OF bankrupt
stock, usually has u stock that is
bankrupt in good qualities, and he
is usually bankrupt in truth, but well
stocked in palaver, misrepresenta-
ton and falsehood.

Increase Of the Bonded Debt.

1t may be a surprise to Dan Man
Mug that the rumpns over the silver
dollar could make him shake in his
boots. He is finding out that the
debt question means something
Prior to that he had been increasing
the bonded debt as the following
figures taken from official reports
show:
January l, 1855, Hugh McCulloch,
Secretary Of the Treasury, reported
it at 81 ,l96, 1850.
January l. 1856, Dan Manning, Sec
rotary If the treasury, reported it at
s1,26U,772,6l2.
Subtract the less from the greater
that is McCulloch's from Manning's
and we find an increase OF the
bonded debt in one year OF SOD, 623,-
762, with more silver on hand than
Manning knew what to do with"

All over the country the Knights
OF Labor are making war on the con-
wet contract system. Prison labor
they do not oppose. but prison labor.
the product Of which is placed III the
market for the purpose Of competing
with and beating down the living
prices OF honest, outside labor, they
are resolved to antagonize at every
turn. It is useless for the republi-
aims and interested contractors in
this state, or elsewhere, to attempt
to distort this question, ."r the peo-
Pile understand it thoroughly, -
cause it is one that directly affects
their pockets. The prisons are in
tended as pnnatory institutions, to
be maintained by the State, not as
cheap labor factories. to enrich
greedy contractors aud compel free
labor TO endure competition more
unreasonable and demoralizing than
Chinese labor, or the alien panper
competition in certain mining dis
tricts in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
other States.-lN. Y. Star.
The above applies to the prison
labor system in Iowa to a dot.

Convenient Directions.


Hang up the brooms; they will last
longer.
Keep the bedsteal away from the
windows.
Drop potatoes or fruit as they are
pared into water, and the color will
not change.
A little chloride Of calcium added
to glue will prevent its cracking, and
canse it to adhere to glass, metals,
etc.
The simplest, cheapest and best
thing to clean lamp chimney is u
piece OF soft sponge the size OF Il
chimney, fastened 10 stick.
Simple fractures may be adjusted
by almost any one. Get the limb az
nearly as possible in the natural Pc
sition, and then send for the doctor.
There is no great urgency in such
cases.
Label every bottle OF medicine
that comes into your house, and put
poisonous drugs, like paregoric,
landanum, carbolic acid, etc, out OF
the reach OF children and be sure
that they are out OF their reach.
When color in Il fabric has been
destroyed by acid, ammonia is APP
piled to neutralize the acid, after
which m application OF chloroform
will, hi almost all cases, restore the
original color.

The Eject Of Education.

Education ii Of tie right kind, i Il
christianiser, as well a. ii ciyiliZ.r or
men. II promotes good morals and
propogates good systems OF govern
Eent. 1t teaches man the duty he
owes to his fellow man, TO the pub
lie veal, and that his own welfare de-
ponds upon the manner Of its OBJ
servance. 1t elevates men to "a
common level where all see with
common adherence the divergence
oil u pubic servant from the path OF
pubic duty. These lessons in edu-
cation are often hard and bitter.
During the summer or 1854 the Ma
tional and Democratic press of the
country were instructing the repub-
licans in the envrmity Of their sup
porting and praising Mr.. Blaine with
his acceptance Of Little Rock and
IT. Smith bonds as the price of his
unjust rulings as speaker of the
House Of Representatives, against
the public welfare and in the inter-
est OF the railroads. We held up to
them the infamy OF Blaine's letter
asking to be let into the ring OF con-
spirators against the people and his
assurance to them that there were
Various channels in which he could
make himself useful, and his at
tempts TO scast anchor to the wind
ward by writing false and excnlpat-
ing letters for his associates to sign.
Then the efforts Of the Republican
press to excuse and to justify Mr..
Blaine in these crimes against the
people, almost led us to despair OF
the effects and virtue Of education.
But the unanimity with which they
unite in condemning the possession
Pan-Electric stock in Mr.. Garland,
though obtained long before he be-
came Attorney General, is certainly
encouraging, compelling as it does
the inference that the same press
will in future campaigns unite in OPP
posing aud condemning candidates
who like Blaine held rail, DAD bonds
and stocks as the price of his rul-
ings in Office.

Found the Fighting Editor In.

An Albuquerque editor who ex-
pected gang Of lynchers to come
for him about the middle Of the
night, took himself to the cellar,
leaving pet grizzlcy bear in his
place in bed. The lynchers didn't
bring any lights. but made plucky
attempt TO get the bear out and
lynch it, but gave it up after three OF
them had lost an eye apiece, two had
suffered the loss Of thumbs chewed
of, and the other six were more or
less deprived Of skin. That man
now has a tremendous reputation as
u fighter; and the bear didn't mind
the work one bit.

Representative Story OF Adair
county, in speaking on Nr. Dabney's
bill to exempt debts from assessable
property as debts are taken out of
moneys, .'said railroads are worth
thirty to forty thousand dollars a
mile and assessed at ten or twelve,
the same proportion AS farms" We
don't understand the authority OF
Mr.. Storey for this statement. We
have not the assessment OF the rail
roads OF the state at hand. bit that
Of the C. NJ. & st. Paul is only $4,000
Der m e, while some others We know
are assessed at .less per mile. We
think the roads that we know the az
sessment OF, are not taxed in pro-
portion with other property, and that
the proper remedyis to have them
assessed by the local assessors in
stead OF q bribed executive council

The constitution provides for a
tariff for revenue, but not Cor pro-
lection. To tax the public for the
purpose Of protecting the private
enterprises Of individuals seems to
be in violation of both its letter and
its spirit. Besides it seems to be
partial and unjust, because its ten
dency is to increase the price OF
manufactured articles to the con-
eumer and the farmer, without ad-
vancing the price of farm produce
or increasing the wages of labor. Ia
fact the protected manufacturer i'm
ports pauper labor under contrac,
In place of using American labor, ex-

During the last summer there was

that IL the railroad commissioners

Mr.. Holbrook, democrat Of Iowa
county has introduced a bill to re-
deem the democratic promises to the
poople, but we regret to observe
that q number Of the republican pa
pers are opposing now what they pro
fessed to favo- before the election.
They profess to see danger from the
railroads interfering in politics. and
bribing the people to vote for the
railroad and against themselves. II
there is danger from this source il
is greatly increased in diminishing
the number Of persons to be ap
preached by the corporations. We
believe there is less danger OF brio
cry from a quarter Of Il million vot-
ers than from any one man occupy

side it is more in harmony with the
spirit of our institutions that the Of
ice IL it is to exist, should be con-

one OF them.
