A STORY WITH MORAL.
An Americus grocer received this
morning large shipment of Irish pota-
toes from an Eastern market, which he
is retailing at 81 40 per bushel. An acre
of land in Sumter county will easily
produce 25O bushels of potatoes, per-
haps more, and at cost not exceeding
ten dollars. This yield, az present
prices, would bring $3.50, or a net profit
of $40 per acre. The same land plant
ed in cotton, at the present prices,
would bring only the sheriff. Why then
should our people kick about har d times
and grow cent cotton with which to
buy potatoes raised in the north?-

JTNsELFIsH CHRISTIAN CHARITY.
We regret that some of the papers are
censuring ex Governor Northern and i'm
puting sordld and selfish motives in his
efforts to relieve the sufferers in NebEas-
ka. While the state and perhaps
NOrthen will be benefited indirectly, we
believe it was a pure, unselfish christian
charity which prompted him to this
movement.-Beuna Vista Patriot.

OUR ANLGO-MANIACS.

London, July 23.-Walter Phelps
Dodge has written a letter to the
Times in which he repudiates the
statement made by Chauncey M. De-
pew, who arrived last week from New
York, that Americans favor home rule
for Ireland. Mr.. Dodge says that
while the politicians are compelled
to truckle to the Irish vote, many
Americans oppose the policy Of separ-
alton. l have given what help could
to the UniOnist candidate for Norwich
and many other Americans were glad
OF the opportunity to fight home rule. "
OF course. These fellows are not
United States. They prefer what we
have now:-the rule of the English
money-lenders. And being constitu-
tional Tories they are ready to sper d
their money to help put the Tories in
power in Great Britain and all over
the world.
There is no installing the condi-
tions:-they extend to both sides of
the Atlantic. That ocean is no long
er separation; it is simply geo.
graphical line or mark. Electricity
has reduced it to that. This fight is,
on the part of the Peoples Party, a
fight for liberty and progress. On the
other side it is a fight for slavery and
retrogressiOn.
No doubt Walter Phelps Dodge is
right when he says, many Ameri-
ans,"-that means the Goldolators-
"are opposed to the separation of Ire
land from England" They are op-
posed also to the separation of the
United States from Great Britain, and
are doing their level best to reunite
the chains which

THE GOOD TIMES.

AS an illustration of the way In
which prosperity is now booming, &C
cording to the daily papers, we would
refer to an incident to which our at
tention has just been called.
Some years since j. D. Blake. of
Rochester, twas he not in the elevator
business-vulgarly called "skinning
the farmers?"). came to Minneapolis
and erected handsome building,
called the Central Park Terrace, ;"
which was estimated to be worth. lots
and all, 100000. There was first
mortgage on the property for $780, 900
and a second for $50, 1000; the other day
the first mortgage was foreclosed and
the whole place was bid in for $55, 900,
which probably just covered the
first mortgage and accumulated in
terest and expenses Of sale. This
\shows fall Of fve-sixths in the value
bit property.
Now let the dailies print some more
of their stuff about returning conf.
dence. good times, etc.; and put
Henry Clews, and Dunn and Brad
street on the witness stand to prove
that prosperity is just humping itself.

DESPOTISM AHEAD.
BUDD'S PROCLAMATION DISARMING
THE PEOPLE.

BUDD's PROCLAMATION DIsARMING
THE PEOPLE.
San Francisco, July 23.-The publ
cation of Gov Budd's proposed procla-
alton regarding semi-military or
CARNATIONS bearing arms has caused
tumult among the foreign societies
who have arms in their quarters and
have been in the habit of drilling up
on state occasions. Officers Of French
military societies are particularly de-
monstrative in their talk. Their
basis is that there can be no French
society without the French flag.
Under no circumstances could the
flag be carried with arms. President
V. Felisatti, of the Swiss Sharpshoot-
ers, said:
1--WE will give up our arms sooner
than our flag. l believe that if we
turn out with both flags and arms no
one can prevent us, and the law to
the contrary is, in my opinion, uncon-
stitutional. We will probably test it,
too.''
The intended proclamation is stir
ring up tumult which will probably
end in the United States courts.
And, of course, the United States
courts will decide that it is a crime
for any American citizen to have a
gun or pistol. or any weapon more
dangerous than tooth-pick; and that
that passage, in the constitution of
the United States. which says,-"The
right of the people to bear arms shall
never be Denied" means, in the light
Of legal nrecedentS that no erica n
shall bear arms! That is as clear as
mud. Language loses it's accepted
meaning when it runs head-foremost
into the stomach of over-fed PlutOc-
racy.
But don't you see what is coming?
l. The militia, consisting of all the
citizens. is brushed aside.
2. A national guard is esta blished
in every state, made up of Plutocrats
and counter-jumpers.
3. All the other bodies of men are
to be disarmed.
4. Fortresses in all the great cities
called "armories."
Results
/. An armed Plutocracy.
2. An unarmed Commonality.
3. A silent revolution, wrought .by
the courts.
4. Death to those who resist.
1t is very pretty programmes; and
no sensible man can doubt that it is
already contemplated by the wealthy
classes of both Europe and America.

MORE BONDS.

Read this Washington dispatch to
one of the morning dailies.
Washington, July o.-(SpeciaD-
at the meeting of the cabinet yester-
day, Cuban matters and the Mora
claim against Spain were discussed,
yet one of the important matters for
which the meeting was called by Sec
rotary Olney was to consider the
threatened raid upon the treasury re-
serve by the Withdrawals Of large
sums of gold for export to Europe.
Cabinet conferences OF this nature are
exceptional and practically without
precedent. Nothing less than press
ing emergency can account for them.
Such an emergency is believed to ex-
ist as the consequence of recent
large exports of gold abroad, which
are regarded as breaking down the
barriers which the bond syndicate
have been able hitherto to interpose
against depletion of the treasury gold
reserve. Should these Withdrawals of
gold continue without immediate
check they will prove the entering
wedge of successful raid and it will
be impossible to maintain the reserve
withouta further issue of bonds. The
belief obtains in we'll informed circles
that since the bonds of the last issue
have been delivered at London the
pressure for more bonds and cOnse-
quentlv additional profits to the Bel
mont-Morgan syndicate, will be inter-
posed and prove too strong to be re-
sisted in the event that the treasury
gold shall be successfully drawn out.
Is it not a shameful thing that
great nation, with seventy million in
habitants. the most Intelligent, en-
terprising and Industrious in the
world, should thus be tied, neck and
heels, to yellow metal. SO limited in
amount that, if it was equally divided
among all the jewellers on the earth,
each one could put his share In his
eye without Inconvenience? Is it
not shameful that SO great race as
this, capable Of such great and heoric
deeds, should be the sport of lot of
money-lenders, to Cypress and impov-
erish into wretchedness?
