An Unfortunate Veto.

1t may be an unfortunate circnm-
stance for the democrats Of Iowa,
that President Cleveland vetoed the
Dies Moines river land bill. for ii was
earnestly expected by TIL settlers on
those lands, and many OF them voted
the democratic ticket In the expec-
tation. that when democratic nd
ministration came into power they
would be speedily afforded relief.
The hopes OF the settlers have been
rudely dispellcI, and unless the ma
jority In the national house OF repre-
sensntives shall assist in passing the
bill over the veto, Il diminution OF
the democratic vote in Iowa Is not
unlikely to result. The presidents
chief objection to the bill WIS that IT
would compel the United States TO
litigate the cases OF individual set
tiers before the courts. but he seems
to have overlooked the fact that the
government, having invited the set
tiers to occupy the lands. Is bound
In honor and equity to 10 Tor them
exactly what he objects to its doing.
They settled upon and improved the
lands in good filth, and a. n matter
Of common justice the government
should make good their titles. Du.

According to the Declaration OF

shown them mankind are more dis

The entire bond system OF the
country is a curse and fraud. 1t

extortion and is maintained by false
pretenses, lies and oppression. The
national bonds now out never aided

mail matter under the new reason cf

We We're aware before this, that Mr..
Wilson was in favor or tariff for
protection, but did not suppose he
would seek to carry the idea so far
Is to make cxtortionate postal rates
the medium OF enforcing it against
merchants OF our own country, und
to the dctriment also Of the general
public, which from Mr.. Wilson's
showing, desire greater freedom in
trade, instead of more restrictions.
It is the slnty OF congress to legis-
late for all classes, and to help in
stead Of hinder commercial prosper
ity. II the people in country towns
where the stock OF merchandise r.
limited in variety, can get their
packages by mail at Is cents pound
and save money, they can still do so
by express, and the effect OF Mr..
Wilson's bill will not tend to curtail
such purchases but will tend to aid
the express companies by transfer
ring this business to them Discrim-
ination in classes Of mailablc matter
is unavoidable, but there should be

he claims to be. honest. the effect OF
his pretended ignorance ought not
to blind him to the fact that the ef-
feet of his bill will be to transfer Il
large amount Of the paying mail car

represented in the great express
companies of the United States.
Under the admirable provisions oil
our present postal system people
living ut the greatest distance from
mercantile centers have the advan.
tage Of almost unlimited selection

The English System.

This Is moderate estimate OF the
decline in fifteen years Of all species
OF property In this country.
The burden OF this debt has heen
Increased from sl925 to 1865. or IN
that ratio.
Is that honest?
When the debt was created, the
only consideration for the loan was
the six per cent interest.
There WAS no provision in the
bond that the dollar to be paid should
be worth more than the dollar that
was loaned.
Such an idea was not dreamed OF
In our financial philosophy, but such
is now the fact.
How came 1t SO? Did 1t come by
accident, or by design? II by design,
it was fraud upon the people, who
have the debt to pay.
There can be no question as to the
cause Of this decline in the money.
debt paying value OF the means Of
payment.
The financial legislation OF the last
fifteen years has had a direct tendcn-
cy to depreciare property values, and
increase the burden Of debt.
Legislators had their object in
view. and lcgislated for no other
purpose.
They might as well have legislated
to double the 81. OF the bushel aud
the length Of days work. without
increasing the price, as t. put In OPP
Grafton u system that would depre-
ciate the means OF payment without
diminishing the debt in u cores.

Our public debt has become
fraud-as much SO as a hundred dol
lar check raised to three hundred
dollars and payment OF both prin-.
cipal and interest should be stopped
until values are restored-ii paid at
all.
But it is the English system aud
must be right.-fChirago Express.

Postage on Fourth Class Natter.

Postage OH Fourth Class Matter.
CSIsIr STATES SENATE.
WARRINGTON, u. e., March :, 1856.
w. Il. MEAD, ESQ,
CREsco, Iowa:
DEAR SIR:
l. Yours OF the 9th uIt. relative
to the bill introduced by me to in
crease postage on fourth class mat
ter, Is ut hand. introduced tha:
bill in order to get the general sub
ject Of postage OH fourth class mat
Ter before the committee on post
offices and post roads. in order that
We might consider the entire field.
for there are abuses in that part OF
the law relative to the rates OF post
age which ought TO he remeiicd, and
il you would state definitely the par
licnlar effect which yon think would
be injurious sho.Id that bill be con-
sidcred favorably and passed, will
be obliged &c you. Ihave got Il good
deal OF dcllnite information, and that
was one Of the purposes OF the intro
duction OF the bill. but to say to me
that 1t Is introduced solely in the
interests OF the express companies
shows that you have not q just ap-
probation Of my motive. | do not
do such things for such purposes.
2. Several OF the interests that
would be affected by it have treated
it In line that has been Of service
to the committee, as notably those
engaged in the seed, corn, bulb and
plant business, and so faithfully have
they furnished information that l
have become confirmed. in the i'm
preston that had at the start, that
that trade should be excepted from
the operation Of the bill! and have
therefore introduced O bill placing
those articles in the third class tate,
increase, but you will readily see that
general charges, such us you pre-
sent, without any statement with re-
gard to the interests you think
would be injured are not Of practic-
al use.
B. If you have suggestions to
make, which will tend to show that
further notifications should be made
III the matter. will be glad to re-
ceive them because, as have sug-
gested, we have now the whole SUBJ
irct under consideration. It may
result in a rejection OF the PROPOSE
ton entirely. and no one will be bet
ter pleased with such result, if upon
such definite information as we get
| we shall he led to believe that that
will be the best thing for the
people.
1. But there is feature Of this
fourth class matter which Is in dt-
rect antagonism with the general in
terests OF the country, and that Is.
the means it affords for the great
mercantile interests in the cities,
through their means OF advertising,
being put in direct competition with
local dealers in the small cities and
towns in the interior, to the hurt OF
the smaller dealers. LIDO not believe
in a tendency to Capitalization which
will hurt the local Industries through
out the country.
5. On the contrary. / believe in
helping the small Industries scatter
ed through the country against these
Oppressive means Of Capitalization.
/ Yours Truly,
