Ayr. All men admit that monopolies ara liijttrinu* to th>‘ community in which they axial. Every tanguaia actively • inployed iu denonucing monopoly, and in extolling com pet it low and «Iteapnem, To prevent asanepaly amo. - individuals, there must be a tm bar > producer? es the sam > artiel<; n».j must be placed on an equality; t isy must be able to bring their article to market at tha same price; and they must produee what fully equals tiiadaiuand. If one can undersell all iiv rant, lie will absorb tha trade, and be will ruin all his rivals, ha than v*-ill produce laaa than they aM produo* •••I legetlier; lie will keep tha supply short, and h« will charge a hxt ha pie sea If others sea that ha as ak as enormous profits when be has tha marks! to himself, still no ons will ventura to commence against him Iu the on* business, as long as ha dearly ponsesee tha abi.it; to undersell through ability to produse at iasa eoet than others. It is so with nations. Almost every nation his s tafav articles which it can **!' “’’•wpwr i«»u ail other nations, i China t«a, and Braxtl taiffhe, aud the wwued Ftatas rx*r oait***; but it la a mighty (all i<> auppeae that if all other nationa were t* aJbahtion tha production of these artfe!e*,'aud were to make etch nuiou th* shla producer a.«i tha monepotist of its special commodity, tha ether nationa would net procure tbe mveral article* any cha pec than t before. On the contrary, tha price* would advance. Now, apply this principle at home. If we give a monopoly ot our domestic market to our own manufacturers, we mar bay* to. pay ‘■• r « hr an art tola than another eauntry would charge; yet it Is quit*? evident that. If era gave- tha monopoly to that country, we shooid have to pav still more than wo poj at present If we give a monopoly to our own manufacturer*, wagiva it to a mAltitudo of livol indi r iduals, who enter into votive •uotpetiliou with one auotber, and

who hoop tho nsarkat abundantly soppile; but If we gftra * monopoly to * kwlm nutlan, there la oonapnraUyaiy Wo com petit on, and dam and can bo scarcely satisfied, bocauan It will ho the Interest of tho alien prod nears, and within their power, to manipulate olrcu m a tan res so aa to maintain such prloaaaa will yield a high rats of profit. If wo can undersell British prpdoeom of wheat, It by oo moans follows that Gioat Britain would ho supplied more cheaply with tho grain, should Its production ho wholly resigned- to farmer* In the United Htatas. What Is true a* regards American wheat gnd iu abandoned cultivation ia Grant Britain, would be equally true as regarde British maaufecturee and the abandonment of the production of manufactures In this country. If, In 000 nation, every thing were placed under a monopoly to home producers, and in another, everything were conaUntly ay posed to excessive competition, tb# former would thriee, while the latter would sink into ruin— lnter Ocean.

Much comment was ludulged in by D* meant lie editors during the lata (to them disastrous) campaign, on the great sum of money saved to the oountry by the extraordinarily economical Democratic Congress. High toued Democratic orators on the stump and at every cross road proclaimed the great saving. The people wars led to believe that tbs DeiuocraU had discovered a method by which the affair* of the government could be couducted with comparatively liirht drafts upou their attenuated pocket hooka But It was a vain hope. On investigation it appe: re from the Deficiency Bill that there leadcficieucy appropriation necessary of |25.00U,000. The follow iug explanation Is giveu by a Washirgton correspondent: “There must inevitably be considerable political debate upon thia bill, as thia enormous deficiency expoeefc the fraud of tho Democratic administration in tha two houses for the last two years, and ie caused by the deficiencies in the nec, eesary, ordinary expenditures of the Governmmt, caused by tbe prtended ec no mica and retrenchment of which we heard so much iu the eampaign. The Republicans at the time declared that this boasted retrenchment Would result in deficiencies, and would cripple the Government. 5 General Garfield, in one of his latest speeches in Congress, warned the Democrats about the consequences of such a penny-wlso policy, and p»< dieted that, instead of effecting a national iconomy, hey would be compelled at this Conjress to appropriate at least s2o.onf*,no > for defloe.icies. He was $6 000 03) short of the work; the sppropriatoa reaches nearly 25,000,000.

Our Democratic friead across the hall again give* notice (legal, with fee attached)of the application, at the March term of Commissions!* Court, of Ben Reynolds for license to sell liquid damnation in Rensselaer. Mae could not resist the temptation to let the people know that Ben ie coming His warm love for our citizens constrained him to put lisli the notice that they might have “fair warning*’of the impending evil. Hie tender heart glowed with love for the yeutb of Jasper County,-and he said within himseff: What! aud sbsll I commit !• great sin? Nay, verily. I’ll set up the notice of this fend in hums* form, this would be destroyer of his fellows. I’ll set it up In “nonpsreil"—according to the forms of the law will I set it, and with a loud voice (the elariou veico of tee sentluel in legal notes; I will make known unto them the Doming of this vile thing into their midst to devonr tlieir substance, to disgrace and break up their homes, to fill tbe alma bouses and |>enitentiaries, and to supply the gallows with vietime.

The artful dodge by »blcb Soreroor Gray s accorded. i» secareing tho o«m. plimsntary veie of tho democrat* in tho legslalure, and by which tho old whoo) bone Senator kloDooal I \ aa relegated to thsjrear, is recoiviog pretty general teudem nation from the news papers es the party in the state. Oue thing noticeable about those words ot disapproval is their tardinoas. A month has passed since the rote *aa taken. A storm of condemnation was belched forth by the old lime NrTtnsf the party, yet the democrat* le press with iU usual timidity. Let* itated to disapprove what it kuem to be wrong, feared tiie consequences of advocating firm adherence to the true aud tried leader of many democratic battles, dreading the Inllseuo- ot a oorebeaded office seeking. Republican renegade. W bat an affecting sight; the Democratic press, the should Le representative, aud exponent of Demeeratie principles, standing idly,, In mortal dtead ewwttag the expression of aeeord or disapproval* ml the people before daring *n opinion, before step, ing forward and bravely ahaping th tr opinion on the aide es evident Justice.

Deer iaiiucir We poked lest week to write ear letter ■a til it was tee late fee pabheetioa, kepiag to have seme items of is tercet, bat we waited ia vaia. Before oar letter bad beea goae aa bear, we list Mrs. 0. Morris bad foltea down stairs aad bad ksrt herself sortoasly; that Mr. Chnrek sad Jeeepb Lsrsb a yeaag mea booed lag at Me. Cbarob’s. wee* both dsogorously sick; that Mrs. Kelso*, sad Mr. sad Mrs. Coover were all worse; aad various otbot Ueess which wo have forget lew.

Before wo go any further we would say ia reply to the “cynical criticisms’’ of our friead “Oeeasioßal”, that wo er* willing aad saaioas to maks tb* “amende honors hlc’ r . We always waat every man to have kiajaet dues. We are willipg to “render usto tbesar that which is Caesar’s,’ ’ and ia that spirit we take back —swallow—rsvoks svrry word we said about Mr v Clark and apply them to Mr. Coovss, We heartily join with “OecasioaaT ’ in his laudatory notice of our paper; and will go area for thsr and my that Mr. Coovar’s well known abilities, iu our humbl* opinion, fit him to adore a higher position than that of editor of an obscure country newspaper.

Both Mr. Coover and Mr. Clark deserve tb* hsaity cooperation aad support of all our dti.cns aud hussincaa men, for tbe paper is cenaiuly u credit to Remington. The entertainment given by the temperance society was vary good indeed. Tbe Hall was well tilled aad every body seemed to enjoy the.exercises. We hope tbe entertainments which nr* to follow, once a month may be as liberally pair miitl as this one was. Hon. R. 8. Dwiggins lectures for us next Saturday evening. Sheriff Powell and little daughter Belle are risiting friends in Rcmingtsn. We are always glad to e«« the sheriff's smiling face over this way. Mr. Cbur.-h ahl youn; Lsrsh are both batter, the former being pronounced out of danger. Rebec* a bright little daughter of L. D. Irwia and granddaughter of F. R. Dooelly of this place died last Saturday morning of dipthsria, aged tea years. - A little daughter sf Mr- Vickery living in tka eastern part of town ia very sick with tbs earns dread disease, also two mors of Mr. Irwin’s children. Tha other cases of sickneness noticed in tbs beginning of this letter nr* all very low. Mr. Solomon’s furniture Ac. arrived from Cbic*g > Isst week, and they are how keeping house in tine style. The young people over this way have been enjoying tha good sleiglrng immensely. Mrs. Frank Shaw has returned to hsr home in Lafayetla.
