Unless you! ~are prepared for it‘you lose it, or work ' 10 a great ‘disadvantage in securing a epart of it. Barrels for storage must s be hunted up, cleaned and soaked; “spouts made or procured; buckets. Beorked up; the sugar-house fixed up; tthe boiling apparatus got in complete ireadiness, and wood prepared. We ghake it for granted that no one who Shas a “camp” worth attending to, admeres strictly to the practice of ten or bwenty years ago—boiling in iron ketlles, between two logs, using heavy, geumbrous troughs, ete. So conducted, Bugar making is hard, ‘disagreeable work, attended with much exposure Wnd little profit. The old-fashioned plder or sumac spouts, and heavy troughs, have been superceded by imiproved spouts with light buckets susfpended on them, and the iron kettles' " and logs, by furnace and evaporating ~pan. - With : these, and a good sugar house, the work is mainly as pleasant “ as any other operation of the farm, “and equally profitable. A good evapforator is made of sheet iron, Wit}l & Bides and ends turned up. There sho’d ~be two,of these—one for heating the i water, and the other for boiling down. ?aqiets should be attached to each, £ 80 that dipping can be entirely distpensed with. Inall the various operajions of catching, gathering and evapprating the sap, the utmost cleanliness jhould be observed. It is impossible o make good sugar when leaves, sticks, lirt and ashes are boiled in the water intil it is ready to “stir off.” By keepgng out all foreign substances, and Ising proper care in all the details, MBhe value of the sugar obtained is Sinore than doubled. We knew a far-. ner in Butler county, this State, who Inade more money out of his sugar Ove every year than from any other ortion of the farm of equal area. He. “had several hundred very fine trees; “tapped half of them each alternate’ ~ year; used a half-inch bit, and never “ bored oyver half an inch deep. Thus ~he saved his trees. He was- scrupulously clean and careful in all his manipulations, made the sugar into small . cakes and sold them himself in CinLcinnati at fancy prices. ' One year he metted ‘ssoo from his camp. It is thus that sugar making pays, but the usual, pareless, wasteful, slovenly, hap-hazard ityle is only attended with loss. - i The sap runs, usually, about ‘six weeks, and it .is customary to make inolasses out of the last “runs,” as the ap will not granulate as well as that athered during the first of the season.

Ohio alone produced, in 1872, 832,396 pounds of sugar, and 271,114 jallons of syrup; in 1873 it increased $2,060,011 punds of sugar, and 356,320 jallons of molasses. Last year the ugar erop dropped down to 2,150,075 jounds, but the syrup increased to { ,ﬁgssgall,ons.

_ “REPORTER” REVIEWED. A Few More Thoughts on Temper- . anee Legislation. : To the Editor of the National Bauner: f , ~ “Reporter” made considerable of a splurge at us'in his last co mmunication; and all because we took the liberty to comment upon a paragraph in one of his former articles.” He has made some false assertions,by which he has entirely misrepresented us-in several instances and charged us with the promulgation of sentiments we never uttered—in fact, he has strutted all aropnd us without ever touching our simple and comprehensive illustration of the practical workings in his own community of a “liquor law with a license fee attached”-or. dttempting to answer the plain -question, “Will it pay?” We do not want the people to change their sentiments any more than “Reporter” evidently wishes us to change ours, bat'if in the light of reason the facts connected with, and the results Qf,_ the liquor trafiic, as well as past experience in legislating against these evyils, all clearly indicate the necessity of a change in the popular sentiment, would it not be well.for the people to effect that reform? We are rejoiced to know that we live in aland where everybody is entitled to freely express his opinion on any subject, regardless of a few fanatics among us, and where we.may justly claim the liberty to do right and demand protection against wrong.' Come, let us reason together.. i L 8

- The traffic in"intoxicants' is an evil. This 18 too universally admitted to re.quire proof, and the very fact that special legislation is necessary to protect society against is baneful influences is sufficient evidence that it is a~dangerous -one. -We*have no right to tolerate an evil, and are, therefore, opposed to all legislation that will, for any purpose of gain, license and thereby make the State a party to any trafiic ' which is wholly wrong within itself, and especially one that so endangers public peace and public morals as the sale of intoxicating liquors. One wrong ‘will not justify another. Of what we have hithetto said on this subject we shall#ecall nothing until convinced of an error, and with all due regard for “Reporter’s” convictions and the sentiment of the people, we here reiterate with emphasis our utter abhorrence ~of that alluring, false theory which makes the education of our -children dependent upon-the license of a traffic which tends more to the ignorance, pauperism and crime of a people than to any other result. License is protection. . Protection to the liquor traffic for educational purposesisa burlesque, a.shame and a disgrace to our boasted civilation. Laws are necessary to restrain men from interfering with one another’s rights and to promote public prosperity. But we donot advocate the. doctrine of “legislation for humanity as it is, without regard to what we might wish it to be.”. - Legislation should elevate ‘society. - To this end, every act should have for its prime object the suppression of-existing evils. and the bettering of mankind. The public demands protection against the evils resulting from the liquor trafiic. In this all agree. - The only ‘difference is as to_the kind of-legislation best suited to that end. To arrive at an inZte{l&gent conclusion we must be guided by the lamp of experience. We would remove the traffic. -“Reporter,” recognizing the difficulties attending its suppression, would turn the evil to good account by placing the trafiic under high license and heavy bonds for the benefit of the school fund, and thinks this the only practical plan. Well, let us see about it. Does license tend to diminish the eyils of intemperance? Experience teaches us that it does not. In 1859 the General Assembly passed what was termed “a judicious, wellregulated license law,” the main features of which wereidentically the same as that recently passed by the Indiana ‘House of Representatives, except that the latter provides for increased license and bonds. How did that law protect the people, and what were its practical results?, By a comparison of statistics the startling revelation is made that while the population increased 24 per cent. in ten years—from 1860 to 1870—the manufacture of intoxicants increased 303 per cerit., insanity 45, idiocy 50, pauperism 130, and conviets 220 per cent. That crime and pauperism increase in dire¢t proportion to the number of saloons, is amply demonstrated by the following comparison: In the twenty-three counties of this State containing the largest number of saloons, there is one.saloon to every 77 Yoters, oné convict to every 190 voters, and their pauper and criminal expenses amount to $3.72 per voter; whereas, in the twenty-three counties having no saloons pauper and criminal expenses are only $1.85 per voter—less than half that'of the former. And -that is the kind of protection we have had, and’ pil'ay‘fga;‘zomﬂi}lly expect again, from “a Judieious, well-regulated license law!” Willit pay ? iß’eliprt}er’ charges us with. ‘having alleged that under the Baxter law the number of saloons is diminished, and asserts that “statistics show that there are more saloons in the State of Indiana than ever before.” Now, we imade'.n'g}fspcﬁ: allegation, and cannot see why we are 80 charged. But, “Reporter,” your bare assertion to the contra;:ygl@ésﬁ:%icmyconﬁétion. Where are your statistics? ~ We want proof. llf you- know you have a point on us, ‘why not demonstrate the fact? The public will not fail to recognizeit. At ‘that time we were not prepared to say - what statistics would show on the subJect and made no statement. But here ‘are the figures presented by Mr. Baxter in his speech before the Senate:

In December, 1872, under full sway of license law, there was 261,869 polls, 2,094 saloons, and 345 criminals in that year. In December, 1873, when local ‘option had been in operation barely ten months, duting which time it encountered determined hostility on the part ‘ot,liguar deblex"ls, and many officers °§ the law virgually stood in the way o ot e o g, o 8 polls.of the gtatnhad increased nearly 4,000 the number of saloonsshad fallen 101,487, iftﬁﬁmw&f conviets to 250, and there were 23 counties without sa-

loons—two and a half times as many as in 1872, under license law.

Thus it will be seen by’statistics, that from 1860 to 1870, under license law, the manufacture of intoxicants increased twelve:times faster than the population, and, as a legitimate result, insanity and idiocy increased double the ratio of population,pauperism near1y six, and crime nine, times as fast; whereas, in less than a year after the passage of our present local optionlaw, with an increase of nearly 4,000 polls, saloons decreased one third and the number of convicts more than 25 per cent. Ghoose ye.- The-former has protected the liquor dealer, the latter the people. What has prohibition done in Maine? The Attorney-General of that State, in his annual report of 1873, says: During the year 1866 the prison, jail and reform-school received 204 criminals; in-1867,157; in 1868, 114 ; in 1869, 189; in. 1870, 150; in 1871, 152; and in 1872, only 100. Average commitments in seven years, 152. This result indicates the rémarkable fact that crime during the last year (i 872 in which the reform mevemerit has gone hand-in-hand with -prohibition) is 33 per cent less than the average of the last seven years. It should be noticed, also, that the number convicted last year is 50 per cent. less than in 1866, and 33 per cent. less than in 1871.. = ~What license, liquor-selling State can present as good an exhibit? Still, in the face of these facts, we are told that prohibition is a failure] Yes, it fails to advarce the interests of liquor dealers and liquo{ manufacturers; hence the universal clamor, from these class€s, for license law. And will “Reporter” still maintain that experience has fully demonstrated the impracticability of the Baxter law, and that instead of diminishing the sale of intoxicating liquors it has tended to.its increase? Or will he frankly admit that it was disobedience. to, and not compliance with, the law that has wrought injury in some instances? Avre not laws for the prohibition of other evils—murder and larceny, for instance—sometimes violated? Would you denounce them as failures and urge their repeal because they do not entirely prevent these crimes? Certainly not. 'lf the Baxter law'is weak, strengthen it. At least, let the local option clause prevail, for the protection of localities where the people do not favor the traffic; and where public sentiment clamors for intoxicating drinks we would suggest the propriety of a,clause making the dealer and consumer ‘responsible for damages resulting from the traflic—even to the erection of asylums for the insane and poor-houses for the support of the helpless, pitiable wrecks of their own creation. They are the only classes who ean possibly claim any benefit from the unholy traffic, and the most rigid enforcement of this clause could make but slight amends for the intolerable evils inflicted upon so_éiet;y thereby Finally, we have neither determined to abandon our home nor to send for Sheridan to exterminate antiBaxter men, but we shall still maintain the right to demand; for ourself and /the public, protection against existing evils and the liberty to vote for men whom we can trust.to énact reformatory laws. WK " A Popular Man. ”

Whatever may be said in dispraise of Andy Johnson’s temper; judgment, and political views, it cannot be denied that he is, personally, one of the most popular men in the country. Witness in testimony of this the:ebulation of pleasure all over the land upon the announcement that the exPresident had ‘been triumphantly elected to the ‘Senate of the United States. He was overwhelmed with congratulatory dispatches; the Democratic Assembly of New Jersey put its satisfaction into a resolution, and the people of Buffalo theirs into a salute of a hundred 'guns. The most common expression on exultant lips was, “Andy’s going back, and won’t he make it hot for them!” The popular heart appreciated the poetic justice involved in the return of Johnson to the body' which attempted to destroy him five years ago. He was cast out by politicians at the end .of his Presidential term, and the people have sent him back toWashington. One secret- of Johnson’s popularity: with the American people.is that heis a courageous man. The American people admire pluck, and they will forgive a public man many of his faults if he only stands up to and’ fights for his convictions. - And another reason. why the masses like: Johnson is, because he is honest. No bribe has stained his fingers during a public career of forty years—from Alderman “of his nativel village” to Governor, from Sendtor to President, For these reasons the péople rejoice that he has come back to public life, and there is no danger that they will lack sympathy with him in the future when he “swings around the circle” in defence of the Constitution, the Union and the flag, “with thirty-seven stars upon its folds; not one erased.”--N. Y. News.

Republican Indictment of the Kel- " logg Administration.

The minority report of the second Louisiana Committee, Hoar, Wheeler and Frye signin% says that the “Administration party in Louisiana is ‘made up by massing together almost the whole negro vote, with a few whites largely from other States;” that “there has been great maladministration by republican officials;” that the ‘ belief is honestly entertained -by large numbers pf the people of Louis- \ iana that they have been twice defrauded of the result of election in which they have been successful;” that' the order of Judge Durell was - illegal, though sanctioned by the Pres--;lreﬁ of the United States; that the duct of the Returning Board was illegal: that there has been much dishonesty and .corruption in the State Administration, for which the Republicans are largely responsible; that the five Conservative members of the Legislatare of that State who were driven out by the army and navy ought to be returned to their seats.— ‘ Even this report, from which the above statements are extracted, was too mild for the majority of the Com- - mittee. Clearly, Grant will be compelled to send another Committee.

A $4.00 BOOK FOR 81.50. The People’s Common Sense Medical Advertiser, in plain English or Medicine Simplified: By R. V. Pierce, M. D., Counselor-in-chief of the Board of Physicians and Surgeons, at the World’s Dispensary; Buffalo, N. Y.— The above Work—a book of about nine hundred large pages, illustrated with Wood Engravings and Colored plates, and well and strongly bound—will be sent, post paid, to any address, for One Dollar and Fifty Cents—making it the cheapest book ever offered to the American People. Other books treating of domestic medicine, of like size and style of binding, and not nearly as well illustrated, with no colored plates, and some of them containing no prescriptions: and making known no means of self-cure for the diseases which they discuss, sell for from three dollars and a half to five dollars. Were Dr: Pierce’s. Work not published by the author, printed and bound with his 6wn machinery, and were it sold through agents, as other like works are, the price of it would have to be not less than four dollars. For when the publisher pays the ‘author a fair price for his production, then adds a profit to his invertment large enough to satisfy himself and compensate him, not only. for his labor, but also for the risk of ‘pecuniary loss which he assumes in taking the chances of the enterprise proving a success, and when the State, county and canvassing agent has each received his profit, they have added to the expense of a book, that originally cost about $1.25, so much that the people have to pay not less than $4.00 for it. The People’s Medical Adviser, on the contrary, is placed within the pecuniary reach of all classes by the author, -who adopts the plan of the Grangers, dispensing with middle men and giving the benefit of their profits to the people, offering his book at a price little above cost of publication. That those desiring the book may run no risk of losing their money in sending it through the * mails, the author advertises that money addressed to him at Buffalo, N. Y., and inclosed in registered letters, may be at his risk or loss. The author’s large corresi pondence with the people upon medi‘cal matters, which we are credibly in%‘formed, frequently exceeds three hundred letters a day, and requires }several trained and skillful medical assistants and short-hand Teporters to -enable him to entertain and answer them, as well as his large daily dealings with diseasés at the World’s Dispensary, appear to have peculiarly fitted him for writing the Work, by rendering him very familiar with the every day medical needs of the people. He endeavors inthisWork to answer all ‘numerous questions relating to health ‘and disease that have been addressed to him by the people from all parts of the land, and hence it contains important information for the young and old, male and female, single and married, nowhere else to be found.. All the most prevalent disease of both sexes are also plainly and fully considered and means of self-cure .made known. ' Unlike other works on Domestic Medicine, it includes subjects of Biology, Cerebral Physiology, Temperaments, Marriage, Reproduction, ete,, all of which are treated in an original and interesting manmer. It is a compendium of Anatomical, Physiological and Medical Seience, and embodies the latest discoveries in each department. ey L —————— What that Second .Committee Discovered, = The majority report of the Louisiana Committee has been published. The minority is severe ‘upon the conduct of the Administration party in that State, but the report of the majority of the Committee pitilessly condemns Grant and his party. This report Say"that the registration was fraudulent, being “wholly in the hands of the Kellogg officials.)” There was a mistake of 14,000 voters in the registration, and, as the republican party did the registering, it was not against its interests. It appears that a fuller vote was cast than is usual in the Northern States. Itis seen thatthere was no general intimidation of colored voters. . The majority report says that the election of 1874 was “peaceable and fair.” The Kellogg party,says this report, “with all their machinery for collecting evidence, were unable to produce in the entire State more than half a dozen persons to testify to any thing impeaching the freedom and fairness of the late elections who were not office-holders or connected with office-holders.” The entire Committee agree that the Conservatives elected a majority of the Legislature last fall, and that they were lawlessly deprived of that majority. - Another Louisiana Committee must be appointed. : L

.. Causes of Nervousness. ‘ The maladies which above all others cause nervpusness, are dyspepsia, biliousness and constipation. = The great sympathetic nerve which connects the epigastric region with the brain, is always injuriously affected if the stomach and bowels are disordered; a permanent derangement of the functions of those organs reacts by sympathy upon the entire nervous system. -Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, in restoring fone and regularity to the digestive apparatus, and overcoming constipation, permanently remedy the nervous complaints which originate in ailmentary weakness or disturbances. They are the very best nervine‘that can be used. By eradicating the exciting causes of nervous weakness, they permanently overcome the disability itself. But this is not all. By checking the maladies which cause nervousness, they build up anew the system weakened and depleted by nervous disease. 45-wd,

STATE OF Towa, Exrourive DEr., Dzs Moinzs, Oor. 28, 1874, } To whom it may concern :—II have examined the proof sheets of the Minnesota Illustrated Historical Atlas, by Capt. A. T. Andreas, of Chicago, and T regard it as a work of superior merit, and it seems to me any. citizen of Minnesota could hardly do withoutit. I understand from Mr. E. T. Phelps that Capt. Andreas is now taking the preliminary steps preparatory to publishing a similar Atlas of lowa, with such improvements as past experience in this business naturally suggests to his mind. Having known Mr. Andreas intimately and well for many years, I have no hesitancy in assuring all who may read this that he will do all he proposes, and that the public will find his work fully equal to the promises of his circular and advertisements. : 45w2 - C.
