AND TUK WAT OCT." Mentioh was made In the Journal on Monday of the fact that Colonel Ingersoll delivered a lecture the eve­ ning previous in Music Hal), Boston, to an irnraense audience, on "Hard Times and the Way Out,"1 which was In eftect a grand campaign speech, although vdelivercd fr»)in the lyceum rostrum. Our Boston namesake published what seems to be quite a full report of the address the day after Its delivery. It is peculiarly good reading. Colonel Ingersoll has the power to treat the idryest subject in a most interesting maimer. His perception is so very dear that his expression of ideas is vivid and exact. In this connection we can only present a few of the more, salient points. In speakiug of the limitations of law and the absurdity of trying to create wealtli by stamping bits of paper, the orator said. When 1 can read a cook-book through often enough to satisfy the craving* of my appetite, then I will Join the flat money party. Money, no matter what the siihstaiu'e it is made ot, has never l»epii oilier than H creation of "natun*. When shells were money, nobody could write on a ' piece of paper: "This is ten shell*,'* and pass it Off to any bar- burian that ever'lived. Again, who will get this money alter it is issued? Seme body that has got something to give for it. The shrewd and industri­ ous will pooii have it nil. Money grav­ itates towards money. A single dollar in the pocket of poverty feeix lonesome. They say this money will not be hoar­ ded like gold. Well, I don't bi'iseve it tii-ill.- They s«v it will not fluctuate like gold. Vi ell. 1 don't believe it will. It wiil start out valueless, and will never know a fluetnation. We miist pay our promises-in the money of the world, ami pri serve the honor of the United States. 1 want greenbacks, to be just us good as coin. A great nation euiuiol allord tojiave its money below par. We have made a great many loolish promises, but the best way to get out of a foolish promise, is to keep it. There is another cry, and a fright ful one. 1 think. We won't pay the bonds, they say. because they-'were bought at 35 cents on the dollar. But the Government had to sell thes^ bonds to put down the rebellion, and it had to sell them l«r what they were worth. Every mail that passed a greenback for 35 cents committed the saino "crime" that the bondholders did Further, these bonds have changed hands many times since ;som« of them are owned by soldiers' widows, and the iiiaii who would repudiate them is unspeakably cruel, and. 1 think dishon­ est. Immediately we repudiate a single bond, our flag becomes a rag. "The way out" wns epitomised in the words,"dig out." Gold, silver and. everything else in the way of material values are wortji just what they cost In labor. •*Ty help others help them­ selves is the <|iily real charity." To furnish employment is infinitely better than tfl bestow gifts. "There is no use iu boosting a man that is not climbing." The prosperity of the country ie conditioned upon its indus­ try. The misfortune of the hard times is that labor cannot be Occupied. -Machinery is forced into idleness, and lujijhds are folded from necessity. In proportion as the people have a chance to work out their salvation, and a dis­ position to improve the opportunity, will the way out of depression into thrift be a travel-worn highway, Of course the Ideal era of universal good frirtune can exist only in day-dreams, but the inequality of conditions is lessening, and what is more, it is not peirifled. The cast-iron fixedness of condition belongs to other lands and times. "The children of the poor of this generations may, and probably will be. the rich of the next. The sons of the rich of this generation may be the poor of the next." The principle of social philosophy dodueible from all this is admirably., stated iu ihe conclu­ sion, "the rich fear and the poor hope." Herein is a compensation which is of iueetimabie value. It cheers the heurt and nerves the indus­ try of those who have their way to make iu the world, while it curbs the recklessness of the moie fortunate class. We will only actS his discussion of the abstract question of money. It is a very uninviting subject ot thought, but it lies at the very foundation of the present political issue, and has never heen better presented than in the fbllowing paragraph: Many remedies have been proposed, and chief among these is the remedy of flat money, rrobably no subject in the world is less generally understood than that of money. So many false definitions have been given, so many strange, conflicting theories have been advanced, that it is not at all surpris­ ing that men have come to imagine that money is something that can be created by law. The definitions given by the haiti-uioney men have b^en used as arguments by th<>se who believe in the power of Congress to create .wealth. W« are told that gold is an instrumentality or a device to facili­ tate exchanges. We are also told that gold is a measure of value. Let us examine these definitions. "Gold or itiuNe^ is an instrumentality or de- arlce tO;f»cilitate exchanges." That rounds well, but f don't believe it.ie correct, Gold and silver are eominod^- Aitey at* product* oi tol&ti* They are not instiumentalities.are not devices to facilitate exchanges: they are the things exchanged for son thing else,.and othei tilings are ex­ changed for them. The only device about it to facilitate exchanges is the coming of these metals, so that you can truthfully say that the coining of gold and silver is a device to facilitate exchanges, and the exchanges are fa­ cilitated In tills . wav: Whenever the Government or any Government certi­ fies that in a certain piece of gold or silver there are a certain number of grains of a' certain fineness, then he who gives it knows that he is not gitft ing too much, and he wV q revives that lie is receiving enough, so-that I will change the definition to this: The colli i ng of the.precious metals is a de­ vice to facilitate exchanges, but the precious metals themselves are proper­ ty: they are merchandise, they are commodities, and when one commodi­ ty is exchanged for another, it is bar­ ter, and gold and silver are the last re­ finement of barter. The second defini­ tion is: "Gold and silver are the measures of value." We are told by those who believe in fiat money that gold is a .measure of value just the same as a half bushel or a yard-stick -- I deny that gold is a measure of value. It is a measure of value precisely as a half-bushel is, or as a yard-stick is, but no other way. The yard-stick is not a measure of value, it is simply a meas­ ure of quantity. It measures cloth worth 830 a yard precisely as it doe» calico worth 4 cents: it measures 8100 lace exactly as it does 1 cent tape, and in no"other way. It Is, therefore. not,a measure of value, and consqueutly this yard-stick can be. made of silver, or {.••olrl. or wood. It measures simply quantities. The same with the half- bushel. The half-bushel measures wheat precisely the same, whether that wheat is worth 83 or 81. It sim­ ply measures quantity, not quality, not value. The yard-stick, the half-bushel and the coining of money are all de­ vices to facilitate exchanges. The yard-stick assures the man who sells that he has not sold too much: it as­ sures the man who buys that he has re­ ceived enough: and iu that way it fa­ cilitates exchanges. The -coining of money facilitates exchange, for the reason that were it not coined, each man who did business would have to carry a pair of scales and be a chemist. If gold and silver are not the measure of value, what is? I answer, intelli­ gent labor. Gold gets its value from labor. Of course. I cannot account for the fact that mankind have a certain fancy for gold or for diamonds, neither can I account for the fact that we like certain things better, than others to eat. These are simply fact* In nature, and they are facts, whether they can be explained or not. which cannot be disregarded. The dollar In gold repre­ sents on the average the labor that It took to dig and mint it, together with all the time of the men who looked for it without finding it. The dollar in gold, on the average, will buy the pro­ duct of the same amount of labor in any other direction. Nothing ever has been money, from the most barbarous to the n,iost civilized, unless it was a product of nature, and a soniething'to which the people among whom It pas*ed as money attached a certain value, a value not dependent upon law, not dependent upon legislation, In any degree. Nothing has ever been con­ sidered money that man could produce. A bfluk bill is not money, neither if a check nor a draft. These are all de­ vices simply to facilitate business,but in all or of themselves they have no value. In proportion as the truths so clearly stated above are pondered will the fiat craze fade out of the brain of honest common sense; and when once the doc­ trine'of "absolute" money ceases to have sincere believers in the ranks of fairly intelligent men,, it will be ban­ ished from the country. Mere dema­ gogues cannot use it without co-opera­ tion from misguided and wrong-head­ ed sincerity. Colonel Ingersoil closed disclaiming any disposition to take part in the Gubernatorial contest in Massachusetts, as such, but he called upou that grand old commonwealth to help save the country from the crime of repudiation. An lowa Druggist Remedy for Hoy Cholera From the Dubuque Times. Buffalo Grove, Oct. 12.--I have used the following recipe for hog chol­ era during the past thirteen years, saving from 75 to 90 per cent of all the cases treated. In view of the general prevalence and fatality of the disease, I have concluded to make the, remedy public in the hope that an end may be put to the scoufage. You will confer a favor or all owners ofhogs by giving the recipe publication in the Time*.-- I have sold the prescription and kept the cholera in check la this immediate neighborhood for thirteen years, and as the ingredients can be had at almost any drug store, the publication will do a great deal of good. I regard'it as a sure preventive, THE RECIPK. Tincture of Aconite root, and nux vomica, 3* ounces each; tinchire of belladonna, rush toxicodendron (poison oak,) secale, baptisia. one-eighth ounce each; white arsenic, ten graind. Mix As a preventive give five drops once a day to each hog in swill. When a hog is down with the cholera, give ten to tweuty drops, pouring down the mouths or nostrils, some claiming that one method and some the other is the best.

Their mcces- tove Statement*, when compared, place them in a very Ivdicnm* Po- on. And ikey have Earned the Reputation of being both "Knave* FIXAL FACTfc M». Editor:--It was my purpose not to write again i answer to the absurd fallacies of the Democrat, I verily believed when I as­ sented in my last letter that all who wished could examine for themselves the record of Mr. Bad&er'g first term, and when I accompanied my own statement with that of the County Clerk, I had thoroughly exposed and refuted the1 errors of the Democrat, I thought the editors of that paper would have candidly acknowledged their blunders or mistakes or whatever they were, and withdraw their charges against me. But tt seems I reckoned without my host, for instead of any confession of that sort, they publish an article of which, if possible, manifests more deception and deliberate false­ hood than any of their previous at­ tacks. The editors of the Democrat based the I r first sta te ment on the authori ty of an old scrap book which has been ly­ ing arouud the Court House for a uum- ber of years. It contains a partial record of the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors, at Its various meetings since the year 1868. On examining this old book the editors of the Demo­ crat discovered th it Mr. Badger paid out to his bailiff* during his flrst term the sum of 8201.08. I replied that their figures were false, and that none other than stupid simpletons or wick­ ed fr Islfiers would publish such a state ment based on such inadequate author ity. 1 asked them to investigate the disputed record for theniselves in the County Clerk's office. But this they would not; it was more convenient to oonsult the scrap book, and so the scrap book was made to' do duty a^alu. This time, however, it performed its work a little better thau before, for on its authority the editors of the Demo­ crat declared that Mr. Badger, during his first term, paid his ballifis the sum of 8436.08. I replied agsiA-that their figures were false, and gave a full statement of Mr. Badger's first term, so far as his baillfls fees wero concerned. By this time the editors of the DemoorcU had discovered that the scrap book was bad authority; tiiat Indeed, they had been chuckling over a "mare's nest," and consequent! v abandoned the scrap book io hatch their falsehoods from some other source. For this purpose they visited the county treasurer's of­ fice and began investigation. Mr. Nisli assured them that no correct state­ ment could be obtained In his office; that it was impossible to ascertain from his books the actual amount paid out during the term or terms of any sheriff. In bailiff fees,aud that the prop- per place was the office of the county Clerk, where they could if they wished examine any bailiffs bills that were ever paid in McHenry county, for they areull kept on file. But those pure- minded truth seekers(f) preferred not to investigate any further, and copy­ ing down some figures, published their third statement--that Mr. Badger paid his bailiffs during his first term the sum of $583.00. On the whole there is an Improve­ ment in the successive statements of the Democrat. They are an evolution from a lower to a higher--It might be worse--most people would think any process over which some perverted judgments and mean motives, as theirs presided, would be a movement down­ wards, rather than upwards. But as it is, 1 have some hope that the editors of the Democrat will arrive at the facts* and publUh the correct figures before the election takes place. If wit was eve* to be fotmd in lower natures, this attack on me might be ex" pliua^d as a tame attempt at practi- ea^joking, but in this ease, no such ex. plauatiouc^n be allowed. The editors of the Ddhotrat knew they were pub­ lishing a down right untruth when they made their first, statement, and they know every subsequent one was false; but still they will not retract one word. 1 hardly know whether it is pity for their stupidity,or indigna- for their wilful deceptions I ought to feel. Any man of ordinary Intelli­ gence in this county, who will take the trouble to investigate the matter, •ystti satisfy himsulf th*t, n(* statement last week was true; that Is--Badger paid out, during his first term, the sum of 8817.50 in bailiff fees. I have paid out. for the.same purpose tin fMtyfi of #727.50. Yours Truly, D. A. STEDMAK. \ tVami " ' J" HomiS TO Let, opposite theHlver- eide House, suitable for a small family, ajflge. to*. D. C. 'meat interest wa> here regarding last week's news, some of the results of which, ac­ cording to the opinion of prominent Independent politicians, lead to conculsion that the Democrats are sonably sure of controlling the next J House of Representatives, which noth* ; ing short of a strong outbreak of the * Greenback element ia the South wi! be likely to prevent. The uew par?3 Is undoubtedly strong in some of the Southern States, but It Is scarce 13 probable that its vote will bo sufficient ly large to preinacy. Among the well-known likely to be returned to the next Con­ gress Is the "T^ll Hyca®ore» Voor-C'•+ hees.of ludiaua. No visitor the Legislative Halls could fall to observe this man's striking appearance--so tall Is he, and lank, and red-liaired and bearded. Although far less of a' • Statesman than Morton, wh&e vacant v seat in the Senate, he filled, li« is no less noticeable. Morton was dlstin- 1 guished for his very helplessness. Hlstf brain and body were ill-fitted each-v! other. _ '» » j The annual report of Quartermaster General Meigs, just completed, has some peculiar points of interest, es- s pecially relating to the expehses off Indian wars, and the great economy/ ; and usefulness of railroads ia promo- * ting the Army's efficiency. During J the pa8t year, for example, the Union; * Pacfic railroad and its branches earned^'" 8895,000 for transporting the Army and jjs army supplies alone. To this should ^ be added the charges for carrying f ^ the mails, Indian supplies, and she of the telegraph lines, amounting^ probably to 81,600.000, If we would credit the railroads with the benefits they confer upon the Government and the people, since these charges repre­ sent but about one third the cost of that service before the railroads were * constructed. The threats of Indian^ trouble* in Arisona and New Mexico^ suggest In this connection the crying}, need of another Pacific railway on or near the Mexican border It la estl- - \ mated that with the present lack of fa- ̂ cilities a war there such as has occur- ?' red among the Northern tribes would involve an extraordinary expenditure c--' of 810,000,000 per annum, and as Col^ Scott offers to build the Texas & cific railway through simply for the guarantee by Government of interest 7 on the construction bonds, which Y would not amount to more than 82,800,• 000 per year, and agreeing in return to do tho Government business on credit until the interest account Is Sat­ isfied, It Is believed Congress will fa­ vorably consider this project to pro­ mote safety and develop the resources if! of a rich domain now subject to the ravages of the wild tribes. Genl. Meigs ovidently is of the opinion that ni't railroads are important factors in war as well as in peace, and promote ciency as well as ecoaotny in Umi Gov­ ernment service. Congressman Batney, (oolored) of South Carolina, visited the White House this week to confer with the President upon political affairs of his State. Rainey claims that great per­ secutions of one party by the other are going on therewith the sanction and encouragement of the State Gov-. ernment'e chief officers, aad his ob­ ject here is to obtain some preventive action by the Administration. Presi- || dent Hayes, with his usual suavity of-'* manner, assured his visitor that the matter should recieve due considera­ tion and that such action in the prem­ ises as the law and the facta warrant,-- President Hayes never turns any orn way dissatisfied. He has that "way r with him" which assures his every vis­ itor that his own especial grievance or desire has the deepest and since rest sympathy of the Natiorfs Chief Magis­ trate, and will receive particular at­ tention from him. Ounrs, 19"Recently, while Dr. WIHIante, of Bi^pfield, was attending a patient, he wafUHed out and found bees swarm- *"lNfout and lighting upon his horse. A larj^e number immediately made an attack upon him.
