Gold Silver Silver Legal tender National bank Total exchange An enemy of the grasshopper bus appeared in the little black spider that seems tined to wipe out this scourge All along the line of the

When any one is annoyed or expects to be annoyed by postal cards sent from anv particular place or from any known persons he may direct the master at that point named to destroy all postal cards addressed and as far as the duties of bis office will permit sufficient examination the postmaster should comply with the request The same request may be made of the re- postmaster The direction to the postmaster should be in writing and should be filed for preservation It is now known that the railroad war reaching from Chicago to the east is injuring Jay Gould more than any other railroad man iu the United States A to the Pioneer Press There are people who believe that Mr Vanderbilt has an ulterior object in balking the attempt at a restoration of freight rates Their notion is that he is striking at Gould over the heads of others Vanderbilt believes that Gould notwithstanding his ers is one of the promoters of the New York Chicago St Louis railway which is paralleling one of roads from Buffalo westward If he can cripple Gould can ple the rival line Gould is now staggering under a load of southw ern stock and securities He lias made his calculations to unload This is impossible so long as the present war continues Every day that the in rates continues adds incal weight to tho burden that is being borne by Gould Vanderbilt sees his opportunity He is willing to let his roads suffer a little the sake of inflicting injury on Gould If he can prolong the at any expense to the roads in general until all stocks are depressed and Gould is crushed under his burden he will have his chief rival and at the same time injured the New York Chicago and St Louis scheme beyond recovery Chas E Russell a republican of Davenport but an able expounder of free trade doctrines writes an inter- esting letter to the State Leader from which we select the following para- The first argument that ists use is that if tariff were done away with a vast and irrepairable in- jury would be done to American men through the reduction of their wages which would follow I deny it It is not true There is not one scrap of evidence to show that such a result would follow England swept from her statute books every particle of ana in the one years that have followed the wages of English laborers as a class have in creased 25 per cent under and in eon NEW NEW Recently from have opened a New Grocery Store OK IAIN may be found a full line of choice family groceries consisting of SPICES DRIED FRUITS FISH sequence of free trade It makes no difference what those wages are they rave increased 25 per cent in ne years owing solely to the action of free trade There is no way of of future but by the ed opposed to the statement of reinforced by aught mt his own stands the of a great nation And with that example before them an those demagogues claim that any results would follow to the American laborer through tne ion of the How can they do Ko free trade would hurt the laborer t would benefit him Besides rease in wages foreshadowed by En land's experience the reduction of he cost of oo per cent of his daily would vastly increase his There is another illustration bearing this subject of the balance ot trade which is none the because t Is not new Suppose a ship to sail rom Portland Maine for Cuba with lumber worth It reaches ts port of destination and takes on argo of molasses worth On he voyage home she is lost with all er cargo if tho Protectionist leory is true the country is icher than it would have been had he ship safely reached Portland Be- ause as the case now stands our ex- erts exceed our imports while f the had in landing er cargo of molasses the imports rould have been in excess Do ou believe that is a true Wealth consists in products not in money and the nation which has the most products is the wealthiest Do not believe that any system of com- relations is beneficial which oes not permit a just and fair trade n both sides with the balances

these regiments is di- vided again into battalions with a oreman or major who charge of acres Under him are three com- lanys each having a captain and a section which is 640 acres land Each superintendent plants n's crop and harvests it reporting from time to time to Sir who directs and the whole ut spends the greater part of his time it the office planning and calculating or the best results the smallest outlay The superintendents are re- for the good order of their men stock and machinery and there s a decided rivalry between them as to can produce the biggest crop the plowing the spring the men go out in each taking 040 acres under the of a foreman who rides along on to see that the work is done properly Everything is in military style It is OK PLOWS of artillery and be fore starting hey are drawn up in line and y inspected by the foreman and to see that they are in good order The plows are all double and are drawn by four horses At the word of the captain they start and go a field of 640 acres is ex- four miles in distance ten or twelve plows abreast At the end of the second furrow eight miles the plows are left in the soil the men mount their horses and ride to quarters for dinner After the horses are fed they remount return to the plows and go around the 640 acres two or three times more before supper time At the close of the day the horses plows and harness are ed again and if any repairs are needed the blacksmith saddler or tarrier make them during the night The same routine is followed at ing time and during the harvest Tlie self-binding harvesters throw the dles of ripe grain upon the where they are picked up and in large shocks to await the wagons which transport them to threshers which are always placed as closely possible to the cars After threshing the straw is carted away and burned It sounds very large but it is a fact that the plows and vesters regularly make a trip four miles long A furrow eight miles in length is considered a very fair morning's work but ten miles is nothing for afternoon's division CIGARS TOBACCO and everything usually kept in a grocery to which invite the ple of and vicinity to inspect PG
