SHERMAN As A FREE TRADER.

Ed. JOURNAL I'm the JOURNAL of
Feb. 10th, find the following, said TO
be the language used by John Sherman
in report to Congress that he made
June 9th, 1868.
Every obstruction to commerce is a
tax upon consumption; every facility to
free exchange cheapens commodities,
increases trade and production and pro-
NOTES civilization. Nothing is worse
than sectionalism within nation and
nothing is better for the peace of nations
than unrestricted freedom of intercourse
and commerce with each other"
And in your last issue, March Q, it
appears that John Hopely, editor of the
Bucyrus journal, takes exception to the
construction the Journal placed upon it,
Now am unable to see how editor
Hopely gets his head twisted in the
shape that he has in order to make the
application he does. He says: ~ he
obstruction to commerce does not mean
commerce. 1t means the inconvenience
of different standards of value (of money,
arising mainly in foreign commerce in
the exchange of commodities among
nations"
Let us aualize this sentence. The OBJ
struction to commerce lies in the time
and the cost of reducing foreign money
to United States money. Is that it
We must admit that time is money
therefore precious, and that it would re
quire the talent of the average country
school boy to find out how many dol
lars there are in SO many pounds, shil-
lings and pences. 1t is, therefore, al
obstruction TO commerce, We must ad
nit, and that we could do more business
with foreign countries if it did't take 81
long to make the exchange.
He continues: This arises mainl,
in foreign commerce in the exchange o.
commodities among nations"
Commodities means goods, the pro
| ducts of labor, ETC., and means barter.

iness with other nations.
So Mr.. Hopley's rescueing honest join
Sherman from his free trade plank o
1868 is a very thin affair, and does no
reflect much credit upon himself or th'
party he represents.
IL Sherman caunot trot out bette
material for defence in covering up SOM
of his mysterious works for the las
thirty years, he had better retire from
view and allow his Presidential aspira

A BAR BANQUET,

The new judge, Hon. John II. Ridgely
opened his first term Of court In Wood
county on Monday, March 9th, 1888.
The Wood County Bar Association gave
banquet at the Ross IInuse the same
evening in honor Of the incoming aud
outgoing Judge, which according In the
Crystal City press, was the grandest affair
ever sccn IN this county. /,
We repuhlish II couple OF paragraphs
below, however, that has more VINE and
meat in them for NIL outside the Bar
Association than is contained in all the
speeches made at the banquet. 1t il the
brief little speech made by Judge Rtdgely
on accepting the nomination at Findlay,
September l, 1887, Rs follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: To
be selected as a candidate by the con-
vention assembled for the purpose which
brings You here to-day, is an honor that
may well be appreciated and should
only be rendered TO or accepted by one
who fully appreciates the duties and re.
sponsibilities of the office-one who has
the integrity and courage to know not
even his own brother In the administra.
tion of justice, and also the industry to
give proper attention TO every case and
question presented for his consideration
i wish to extend to you my most
grateful acknowledgement for this evil
dence of your confidence and esteem.
With your assistance and that of our
friends in the district, feel confident
that your action to-day will be ratified
at the polls in November. II elected it
will be my pleasure as well as my duty,
regardless of my personal convenience,
to devote my whole time-not four but
six days in week-together with all
the ability that possess to n faithful
discharge of the duties of the Office.
II Judge Ridgely can preserve the
courage to not "know even brother il
the administration Of justice" a brother
ln-law, or a cousin or All aunt, or a
French Menu" or me Too" will hav,
TO look elsewhere for an occupation.

VIII 1883 be n Year OF Var.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says that the
present year is the first year of modern
times in which the aggregate OF the figures
ia twenty. y.6ve, snd there will be five more
years in which such combination ia pos
aible prior 10 the year 1869. Probably
but few have heard OF the old prophecy,
which runs as follows:
In every future year Of our Lord
When the sum OF the figures 10 twenty five,
Some warlike kingdom will draw the sword,
But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students OF modern hirtory will readily
recall how faithfully this prophecy has
been fulfilled in the four previous years TO
which II applied.
In 1853 Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed tile coalition against Sweden
which inauguraied the great war that end
ed in the disastrous defeat OF Chas. XII
at Puliowa.
The year 1889 will ever he memorable
on account Of the breaking out oil the
French Revolution.
1889 witnessed the campaign OF Bona
parie in Egypt and formation Of the aec-
ond European coalition against France.
In 1879 war broke out between England
aud Afghanisian, followed by the inva-
sion OF the latter country by British
troops.
In What manner the prediction is to b.
verified in 1888 remains yet to he seen
but the present condilian Of Europe @eem
TO promise All abundant fulflIment Of tn
prophecy.

The press of the United States is al

which makes no secret of its methods of
extorting money from the public. 1t 10
the most extravagant species of legal
lied robbery extant, and its oppressive
tendencies are SO outrageous as to call
loudly for public denunciation. When
men band together to manipulate the
stock market they operate against indi-
viduals, but when the processes are ex-
tended to commodities Of daily CON-
sumption, they injure every family in
the United States. The origin of trusts,
or rather the influences which encour-

tendencies of this highway robbery,
opinion is unanimous. and adverse SEN
