J'ROSI'EHITY.

So intimately connected with every kind of business is the great wageearning system of the country, that any policy which tends to lower wages or to prevent wage-earners from finding employment, is sure to prove detrimental to the interests of every one, even those who employ labor. The great majority of the people live by labor, and the amount they can buy and consume depends largely on the number of days they find employment and the amount tliey earn. The groceryman and the merchant's sales depend so much on the wages of their customers, that tradesmen can flourish only when labor is constantly employed at high wages. High wages bring prosderity not only to the tradesman but to all classes of people and tha policy that brings high wages is as sure to bring prosperity to the country in general as the genial rains of the spring time bring new life to vegeta tion. It is therefore most amazing that any one should wish to inaugurate in this country, a system that brings low wages and makes employment itself, at any rate of wages, uncertain. The poorest and most ignorant day laborer learns more from a little experience than many of our statesmen learn in a lifetime from the reading of essays and books on political economy. A man who depends on hits daily wages soon learns that it makes little difference to him how cheap things may be if he has nothing to buy them with and that if he could buy a pair of boots for a penny it would do him no good if he had no way to earn the penny with which to buy them. The merchant may put his goods down to ruinous prices, but this will not enable him to sell to people who are poor and out of employment. If the butcher would oiler meat at one cent per pound it would not enable him to make sales to those who have no way to earn money. But when labor is well employed and wages high, the butcher has no trou ble in selling meat at remunerative figures. So you may take up ever3' businsss in the country and show that it must lag when the laboring man is out of employment. The laborer goes home at night from a fruitless search for employment and says to his wife "I can find no work. We will have to lessen our expenses. We must .do without meat. We must buy less coffee and sugar. We must live on corn bread and dispense with flour.

We must stop buying butter and eggs.' And so it goes all over the country Trade is stopped, production is stopped, and a general stagnation sets in and all complain of hard times. And what has brought this condition? Simply tlie lack of employment for labor. Will not our statesmen turn, for moment, from the fine-spun nonsense of the theorizers, and learn wisdom from the practical lessons of daily life among the lowly. It was here that Abraham Lincoln learned his wisdom his statesmanship, instead of in the schools where experience is ignored and a premium is paid for stupid assertions made without any 'knowledge of facts, to prove that certain results will follow certain acts of legislation.

SKVERAI. papers have published the fact th^t in one of the Eastern cities recently a number of ladies were at a sewing party. Before retiring to their respective homes one of the ladies is reported to have remarked that she would go early as she had a "Democratic badge" to "make for her husband. This astonished the other ladies and and brought anxious inquiries as to what she meant by a Democratic badge. "Well," replied the lady, "my husband has not had a day's work since the Democratic party went into power, and by sitting around on drygoods boxes wears a hole in the seat of his pants nearly every day. I knowof no better name than Democratic badge." The other ladies concluded the name was apt and each wondered that she had not thought of it before.

THE usual treatment of catarrh is very unsatisfactory, as thousands can testify. Proper local treatment is positively necessary to success, but many if not most, of the remedies in general use afford but temporary relief. A cure certainly cannot be expected from snuffn, powders, douches and washes. Ely's Cream Halm, which is so highly recommended, is a remedy which com bines the important requisites of quick action, specific curative power, with pei feet safety and pleasantness to the patient. The druggists all sell it.

I had used Chamberlain' Cough Remedy some fourteen years ago with much success, and concluded to try it again. When 1 had got through with one bottle my cough had left me. and I have not sulTered with a cough or cold since. 1 have reeorn mended it to others, and all speak well of it." 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & liooe, 111 north Washington street, opposite court house.

Reactionary storms will be central ton the 2d and 3d, nnd the moon will be new on the 5th. This will cause a continuation of cloudiness, with rain, sleet and snow, through most of the intervening time from the 7th to 11th.

Heavy rains with thunder and lightning, turning to destructive sleet and snow storms, may be expected during these disturbances. The reactionary "disturbances, due on the 2d and 3d, will not likely be reached until about the Sth.
