Republican Organization.

The Republicans of Jasper county and all who wish to cooperate with them are requested to meet in their townships on SATURDAY JAN. 6, 1894, at 2 o’clock P. M. for the transaction of the following business: Ist The election of a precinct committee in each precinct of each township, the members of which shall elect one of their number to be a member of the county central committee. 2nd.

The central committee selected as above provided, will meet oh Saturday, Jan. 13th 1894, at 1 o’clock sharp, at the court house in Rensselaer, for organization, in accordance with the call of the State Central Committee, by the election of a chairman, vice-chair-man, secretary and treasurer. M. F. Chilcote, Ch. Jasper Co. Rep. Cent. Com.

When a naah is out of work, and the family in the house cold and hungry, the call to "stand true to the platform” of his party that has worked all the mischief, is not as impressive as it was in 1892, when he marched with a rooster in his hat and plenty of change in his pocket. i

The M iller Brother’s Cutlery Company, of Meridian, Conn., post this notice on their door; "The Wilson bill, as reported, reduces the duty on pocket cutlery about 60 per. cent If it becomes a law, it will become necessary to reduce l 'wages from 40 to 50 per cent. If we start up after January Ist we will reduce wages not less than 25 per cent, and if the bill finally passes in its present form, further reductions may be expected?"—

The following from Samuel J. Tilden’s letter of acceptance is good reading for democrats just now:

Uncertainty is the prolific parent of mischief in all business. Never were its evils more felt than now. Men do nothing because they are unable to make any calculations on which they can safely rely. They undertake nothing, because they fear a loss in everything they would attempt. They stop and wait. The merchant dares not buy for the future consumption of his costumers. The manufacturer dares not make fabrics which may not refund his outlay. He shuts his factory and discharges his workmen. Capitalists can not lend on security they consider safe, and their funds lie almost without interest. Men of enterprise who have credit or securities to pledge will not borrow. Consumption has fallen below the natural limits of a reasonable economy. The public mind will no longer accept shams. It has suffered enough from illusions. An insin- v cere policy increases distrust. An unstable policy increases uncertainty. The people need to know that the government is moving in the direction of ultimate safety and prosperity, and that it is doing so through prudent, safe and conservative methods, which will be sure to inflict no new sacrifice on the business of the country. Then the inspiration of new hope and well founded confidence will hasten the restoring processes of nature, and prosperity will begin to return.
