DISPATCH readers will remember
that some months ago Philip Speckart
lost his cart and harness at the hands
of some night thief, and no trace has
since been found OF their whereabouts.
Yesterday afternoon at abb ut 3 O'Clock
Mr.. SpeckaTt was at the bank corner on
street retur, ing from the poStoffice
and going to his place OF business.
Looking up he was surprised to see his
cart behind horse and on that horse
his harness being driven from the
Coop. corner west. He stopped the
outfit. In she cart was seated Thomas
Iopham Of York. Mr.. Topham came
by the cart and harness honestly
enough. He Purchased it from a man
whom he had employed on his ranch
last summer. The man got the outfit
from traveller, trading a very valuable
saddle horse for it. Mr.. Speckart ID
pleased indeed to get his property back
and although Mr.. Topham is the loser
through this bunco game he is not
sorry to part with property he has
learned was stolen.

No small grain crop should ever be
grown without a seeding with either
clover or grass seed or with both. This
is too often neglected, usually because
the farmer thinks that the field is to be
plowed either the following fall or the
next spring, and that what growth
clover and grass could make before
plowing will not pay for the seed. This
is mistake. Timothy and other seed
make less growth, but they will furnish
a sod which is worth more than the
cost of seed to be plowed under in the
fall

Mr.. EDIToR:-A cats paw is a soft
thing. How many of us would like to
be called sofia cats paw7 Not one,
suppose, yet that most ignoble term
might be truly applied to the editors
of most of our country papers, men
who should be well posted. We, the
masses, listening to the brainless clat-
ter of men who, to use the regular ex
preston, have not brains enough to
learn them how to pour sand in a rat
hole, who would lead us to destruction
men who should lead us to liberty. 1t
is surely disgusting as well as ridicu-
lous to pick up a paper that we know
has a circulation of not more than a
very few thousand and read in the edi
torial columns about our wise admins
tration, that times will shortly be bet
ter, comparing the cheapness of come
article the masses never heard of to
the price in former times. That silver
is rather too bulky to be convenient.
and that we would, if we had chance,
carry more dollars in our old pocket
book in gold than we would in silver.
And 1 will wager that this same editor
has not yet paid for the last bottle OF
ink he purchased and has not money
enough to buy pair of socks, and yet
the dear man is trying to beat it into
the peoples heads that the proper party

party that advocates the Jeffersonian
principles.
On the other hand look at our near
sighted Republican editors who can
barely exc out an existence in prosper
GUS times, crying down the present ad-
ministration and looking forward to
the time when the forerunners of the
present hard times will again get into
power. Our dear Republican friends
should bear in mind that the Demo
cratic party and their own are strong
allies and only seemingly antagonistic.
Of course they do not know it, but the
leaders do, and see fit not to inform
the cats paw, which is gently purring
away the peoples liberty as well as
their own, by informing falsely, of
course not knowingly9 Oh no, of
course not.
If the bill is passed that is being con-
templated, the destruction Of the green
back, then the time will be here for the
people to act and to act in most effec-
tive way if they do not want to be re-
duced to serfdom and be obliged to
work harder than the slaves before the
late war for mere existence.

hope, if we are forced to demand a

COST OF PRODUCTION.
ASHLAND. N. @.

ASHLAND, n. 9.
Mr.. ITOR:-One cause of dissatis
faction which now exists among farm
ers is, when they compare their occu
patton with that of others, they have
never paid proper attention to the
actual cost of production. How few
farmers know what the cost of a
bushel of wheat or corn, or pound of
pork or beef is. There is great need of
reform in this respect, and it is sure
to come at no very great distant day.
Without knowing the actual cost of
production, we must depend entirely
upon the demand for our products,
which can be easily regulated by
strong combinations, whose interests
are against the interests Of the pro
ducers. 1t gives capital chance to
control labor. The producer, in order
to become prosperous, must have fair
compensation for his labor. Those who
represent the manufacturing interests
receive this, or cease to manufacture
until the demand exceeds the supply.
They do not pursue the ruinous policy
that the farmer has so long followed.
The question of what is fair compen-
sation is to be settled .by determining
the actual cost of production. Let the
farmer consider carefully what is nee
essary to carry on his business and
adopta simple form of accounts which,
if faithfully kept, will enable him to
determine, when each crop natures,
what the actual cost has been per
buFhel, etc. It is an old saying, that
when the people become thoughtful
the country is safe, and I think there
is much truth in it so far as farming
is concerned, for the farmer is the only
one who produces what the world must
and will have. If the farming com
munity live beyond their means, run
in debt and pay middlemen heavy
rate of interest for temporary accom-
mediation, they will be forced to sell
their products to meet their obligations
regardless of the question of cost, as
the present day gives ample proof, I
think. The principle of taking what
one can get for crop and depending
upon luck in the future to make up the
loss, is not only a thoughtless but a
ruinous policy. No one will deny that
the agitation caused by the farmers
movement at the present day has set
those not interested in it to vigorous
thoughtfulness that is sure to be pro
ductive of great good. Farmers are
demanding honest representatives in
State as well as National Government,
and am not sure but 1 might take in
county, as some are very different
from what they used to be 40 or 50
years ago. 1t is not my purpose to say
ANYTHING to iniure the towns, but
think they would do well to consider.
Most of the boys of the present day, as
soon as they reach fifteen or sixteen,
want to go to town and leave the farm,
the safest place for boys. The farmer
is the most Independent man on earth,
provided he makes his home supply
and keeps out of debt. But many per
sons of the present day, that is in my
section, make tobacco as a money crop
to buy every thing else with, and fire.
uuently the tobacco does not pay for
the fertilizer put under it and the car
rying it to market. In that way to
bacco which, used properly, would
have proven blessing, has actually
been g curse, IN some sections, ct least.

made on Sunday, before it's maturity
and for good consideration, and having
no notice of any illegality in it's incep
t1on, may maintain an action thereon
against the maker, our statement that
note made on Sunday is void must
be modified to agree with the law as
here laid Gown, that note made on
Sunday is generally void as between
the parties, but not as to third persons
who have taken the note before it's ma
turlty for good consideration and with
out notice of it's illegality.
In New Jersey it has been held that
contracts made on Sunday are void and
cannot be afterwards ratified.
In Iowa, however, it has been held
that such contracts were capable of
ratification.
In Missouri, a note made and deliv
cred on Sunday is void for illegality.
The result of our investigation, there
fore, may be summed up as follows:
Under the common law, contracts
made on Sunday were good, and hence
in our American States a contract
made on Sunday is good unless it is in
conflict with some statute. Almost
every American State has statute on
the subject, these statutes differing
considerably. Any act or contract
which is within the penalties of these
statutes, and any executory contract,
the consideration for which is some
thing unlawfully done on Sunday, is
void.
Where the statute prohibits persons
from doing on the Lords day what is
within their ordinary calling, a con-
tract made by one outside of his ordi-
nary calling is valid.
As to what acts come under the head
Of common labor" there are differ
ences of opinion. Af1xing ones name
to note or bond or the loaning of
money would fall under the term
business" Almost all of the statutes,
except what is done from necessity or
charity. Generally the illegal contract
Ct6uuOI OO IdGIl1Gu 1dJSI3 OA d "O0A OoS ,
although there are decisions to the con-
trary.
A note that is void between the maker
and payee because of its having been
made and delivered on Sunday may be
good, as to innocent third parties to the
note. A contract may bs good when
written and signed on Sunday if deliv-
cred on another day, and it may be
void if written and signed on week
day and delivered on Sunday. When
a Sunday contract has been performed,
money paid and goods transferred
under it cannot be recovered back.
Money paid on Sunday in discharge OF
debt, and retained afterwards by the
creditor, is effectual for the purpose OF
payment.
The reader is cautioned to consult
the particular statutory provisions and
adjudication of his own State.
