Evti>*NCKs of the good times coming are plenty. Mill-,, factories and establishments all oyer the couutry ar« resuming operations. They have been paniyud for months, as the scarcity of money among buyers caused no demand. The market became overstocked, as the result of tine economy of the consuming classes, and thousands were thrown out of employment. This existiug state of affairs worked hardships on alf people. The farmer found a low price for hits cereals—not enough to pay for the raising. Economy was the rule everywhere. and there was no demand for the products. There were less persons engaged in the purchase of the corn, wheat, etc., as they were eompellcd to drift into other business by | the force of circumstances. The foreign countries found other markets for an exchange of commodities. Our sales depended upon the icedsof this country largely, aud as these needs were reduced by economy and a scarcity of money there was an abundance, far in excess of demand. In other words, it is termed an over-pro-duction. The resumiug operations of tliejse mills lactorics, and all kinds of establishments will find a responsive action in all branclres of business and all vocations; as it restores eonll-. deuce, puts new life aud energy in the masses, and is the fore-runner to a revival in the financial world, the activity of the trades, and a long-looked for omen of good luck to the producing classes. It surely looks like we •are jdrifting with the tide to better •limes. Let the tide come in, and as -rapidly as the waves of progress cam •move. But look on this aud then -on lor that, find be of good cheer; the Chicago Times tells mi -that times are as had for the farmers; -is they were in 1878, and gives the figures to prove it, taken fronda com* jUicrcial circular. It shows that with the exception of wheat, nearly everyHhii g the farmer lias to sell was worth more in December, 1884. than in the -came monthof 1878. It goes still further and shows that nearly everything ‘ the farmer has to buy is chca^r now ■than then. Futhermore, farmers are not so much in debt now as they were : in 1878. To a great extent they have otearei their farms of mortgages, while many of them have accumulated something and ayej therefore able to hold V'licir crops if prices are not satisfactory. 'It is a matter of common observation that there are not So many tramps abroad in the land now as in 1878, and for 4ome yearsjbefore. Vutil quite re-i-entl.v labor has been pretty fully employed. It is true that lately many-manufacturing establishments have suspended operations, or diminished their output, and that many men have been thrown out-of employment for the time being, and that wages of operatives have been seriously reduced. It is true thatBradstreet's recently estimated that there were upward of half a million fewer persons employer! in the manufacturing industries than were employed three years ago, when the country was at the height of industrial activity. But aft,ev all this has been said, the fact reinsune that tliere are now no such visile evidences that vast numbers of men are unemployed as were presenter! seven and eight years ago. ’1 hat times are [hard now as compared with the four years immediately following the resumption of specie payments is not toijbe denied ; no more is it to [be denied|that times have been much harder mjore than once in the past.

cuaue manufactures to locate liere. We havcjcvery facility; plenty of raw material, aud an inexhaustible public spiritedi other town, our for great ad vain farturing indust supply of coal, i The coming year can lie made the mdst important , one in the history ol'our town. That there is energy and enterprise here has time and stgain been demonstrated. That the tpwns has so many times risen PlneuLv-like from the ashes is evidence of the faet that the citizens are Compared with wealth is sufficient cement in the inanutries. While so many towns and cities are working for the establishment of manufactories it creates a rivalry, and the place that secures anenterprise must offer.superior advantages. The attention of capitalists must be cal led to that which could he utilized with prolit. Our clay is regarded as superior for many purposes. The home manufacture of rkbk in such large quantities during the pgst few months show its adaptability for this jpnrposc. The day could be used in pottery works, which are to be found in some adjoining counties. The tituber.is plenty, and we have room tor factories, planing mills, etc., or almost any branch of ■business, in fact. Let the word be sent out that we have manifold resources; take pleasure'in showing them, anil give those who come a welcome. Our population tied our property values will be Increased, and there is not, an inhabitant who will not be benefited either directly or imlfreetlv.

J.verso's fervc said “to the victors Wtettg the spoils," though we loubt it very Much. That is the way the bummer element would put it. It | ■ is tlit- vulgar side of the question. With that cry brought forward iu a -ainpaigu we would see the scramble r»r office ten limes as bad as that of Ihe last few years. These desperate druggies tor the spoils of office ere matters of his tory iu previous PresK ilential campaigns. •"Offensive partisan” office-holders hare pulled the wires that Kepubliehti success might keep them iu office. Now. is it uot unprecedented gall and cheek for these people to expect to l>e retained in office under a I>cmocratic administrn-j tion ? Those should he made to go; purify the service !*}- turning out the i dishonest office-holders—the jieeula- j tors. This is cleaning the Augean j stables. The administration oft 'love-, land is to be Democratic in name and; in spirit. Then men should lie put iu ; offiee who wiill carry out this idea.! The President appoints his eabinet i from able men with whom he can advise; and they carry out his wishes. He surrounds himself with friends.; The head is.to he Democratic and the j same method should be applied to tire j miuor>branches of the tlorerumcnt. Let the servants he men aud women of honesty and fidelity." The Democratic party is full of such people, and front that party should he chosen competent and trusty public:servants. Are they capable? should he the question. Party service is no recommendation for a man devoid of these qualifications. The party passing out of power has made this the great hobby. Put true and pure Democrats in appointive offices. In carrying out their duty to thedovernmrnt they represent 'a chief executive who lias fixed principles, and should share his success. Fidelity to duty should he the motto of these employes, from the highest to the lowest. Put Democrats on guard who will di* tills, and you have the idea attributed to Jackson in the words—"To the victors belong the spoils." Democrats can run a Democratic < iovermnent. If they can not. thev will be pushed aside by the people. Some i f our citizens say, “You can stop my paper: I take a big Cincinnati weekly; I get it for $1 a year." That they cau get a big weekly for $1 per year is true. ^They lose their county paper. If farmers aud others wish a city weekly they can get it cheaper by clubbing with their homo papers. All county papers can procure club rates with the leading publications of the country—agricultural. literary and otherwise. People who take advantage tff this clubbing rates get both papers at abou t one-half more than wli^t one would cost. And further in this regard an exchange very truthfully remarks; “You may he able to get a large city weekly, filled with account s^ot" murder, scandal cases, cock fights fete., for the same money that you pay for local papers; hut those city weeklies do uot advertise your county and make your property valuable. They don't help along yonrsehoolsaudcuurehes; they don't publish your couuty news; they say nothing of you or your town and have no interest in von. A good newspaper is as much advantage to a town or country as are good schools. If one of our farmer friends should happen in one of these offices he would find out in two minutes that he had no cordial welcome there.', such as he would receive at a printing office at home. Staijil by your own papers, for they always stand by you and are ever on the lookout for your interest."

Hradstreet's mercantile report of : the 7th in»t., favors a policy that “would teud to broaden our foreign markets for manufactured goods." It speaks against protection in this manlier : “Everybody is speculating almut the return of ‘good times.’ meaning thereby a j**riud of confidence in investments, act ivity in the production and distribution of products, the construction of railroads, etc*, and high prices generally. It is possible that thecurreut expectations may never la* Cully realized, or, in other words, that prices may remain iM*rmanently ou a lower plane ithiui formerly. For the eoininunity at large cheapness is lietter than dearness. But if there is to be advance all along the line the conditions which have produced depression must be reversed. * , * * * A general revival liitist among manufacturers eau hardly la* anticipated until the very lowest grade of workmen gets out upon the soil, or finds steady employment again In the; old | lines. The latter condition of things would I ct idently lie promoted by the adoption of such a commercial and financial policy as would tend to broaden our foreign markets for manufactured goods, backing such au outlet, the country must perhaps grow up to the present capacity of its mills and to the need of more railroads, or wait for allot Iter series of lean years in English agriculture. The return of prosperity may therefoi e be slow.”

Tin: Patten apportionment bill introduced in the I louse makes Pike and Kunx counties a Senatorial District. and in the Representative changes this county is joined with Knox. Kuox couuty is a daisy, and is always solid for Democracy. The county lias long been accused of "hoggin' the persimmons,*’ but then should this apportionment hill pass. i we shall look to Old Knox for fair treatment.__ -1 Grove* Cleveland is indeed the child of destiny. All information, says an esteemed exchange, points to the conclusion that just about the time of his inauguration, along with the brightened political dawn, the nun of prosperity will again bless the | land. _ Mr. Plain e is reading proof of the second volume of his hook.

One important reason why Iudianians '■ should rejoice and lie exceedingly j glad is that the man cheated out of I the second office is now declared clee- | to that high station—Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks. Time settles all things! Some pleasant information comes to us—from a United States Seuator who has been to New York to see Mr. Cleveland—through-tuc Washington correspondent of the New York World. The Senator said, in referring to Mr. Cleveland: “Since seeing him face to face 1 am more than ever convinced of the simplicity, the courage and the honesty of his eharaetrr. He came down to New York to meet prominent Democrats and talk freely about the composition of his Cabinet. It shows that lie is trying to discover what material there is and what is the best thing to be done. He is honestly try i ng to get dow n to the real heart and soul of the party and do that which will lie for its geatest good and for the greatest good of the entire country. Mr. Cleveland is like a man who calls about him his truest aud best friends to counsel with them as to what he shall do in the faec of a grave emergency. It is a sort of family talk that he bad with nsup at New York. The utmost good feeling characterized every interview that was held, whoever the man or whatever the measure discussed, and every visitor came away well pleased. They all felt they had met a man in whom there was not a particle of guile, w ho had no personal ambitions to blind him, who had no selfish likes or dislikes to gratify, but who had above all a truly elevated patriotic purpose.”

Con tut ess has legislated in the interest of pension applicants. The Senate passed the Tension Appropriation bill with all the legislation.except one provision placed therein by the House stricken out. As the huv now stands an applicant for pension is required to prove that he was sound when lie entered the service in order to get his pension. The Senate retained a’clausc providing that the applicant shall he presumed to have been souud physically when lie enlisted, thus putting the burden of proof upon the Governs incut. This will afford great relief, and is a provision that is generally ! conceded to be necessary. The ways and means eointnittec of the National House a few days ago decided to report a bill providing that the duty on leaf tobaecoof requisite size and necessary fineness of texture to be suitable for wrappers, and of which more thauoue hundred leaves are required to the pound ; and leaf tobacco, the growth of ditferent countries, shall be, when enclosed together in a bale or other package, if not stemmed, seventy-five cents per pound and if stemmed,one dollar per pound : so much of any package of tobacco as may not be suitable for wrappers, shall pay a duty of thirty-five cents per pound.
