4f: A* V Isi Jf^enry piaiifafor. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20th, 1678. J JT. VAN SLYKE, Kditor. # THK COMIKQ QUK8TION. The next question to come befort the country will be - the greenback ^| problem. There Is a rapidly growing idea that the government should lur- j nish directly, the currency required | by the people. The worljinjjs of our *1 present meney system are so nearly _j satisfactory that the people will de- ^ tnand a still further Improvement* and H make the plan much nearer perfect.. If „ the^Governnient is to be responsible V":< for the National Bank Issues, why not Issue the money directly and thus save the Interest on the bonds which are ^ pledged as security for their redemp- ***$ tionf The bonds might be taken up If the national notes wer« withdrawn equal amount of. dollars be ' 11 and an | Issued Instead. These que stions will have to be answered soon, and there is little doubt as to how they will be answered. There is no currency better than that which is issued by the nation, and based upon the good faith of the na­ tion, and the entire wealth of the peoplf. The history of the past fifteen yours demonstrates- this. No one doubts the value of a Treasury note-- ' qo one hesitates to take it in exchange for values, and it is good in all of the States. Since the general government assumed the entire control of the cur rency we have had none of these com­ plications that were caused by the State banks. The war taught Us a financial lesson that we were slow to learn. It showed us that the Govern­ ment could aud ought to control the currency. The system then Inaugura­ ted sto^d the test of the war--it has since stood the test of peace which was n>ore difficult. During all the pressure of the past few years no one has dis­ trusted the quality of our circulating medium. What the people will de­ mand is that Congress shall enact that all the paper mouey shall be Treasury notes, and that our banks sh all be banks of discount, and not banks of is§ne. We hereby predict that this ' will be the great question in the poli­ tics of the near future. FOR STA**.*r*H»U|* : Among the Republican candidates talked of for State Treasurer are John S. Peters, now Clerk of the State Treasurer; Hon. E. C. Hamburger, now Clerk of the Supreme Court, central grand division; Thos. S. Bidgway, who held the office from 1874 to 1876; Oen. J. C. Smith, of Jo Daviess, late Grain Inspector: and Hon. W. Bushnell, of Ottawa. The Democratic candidates for Treasurer are Ml. M. Pool, of Gallatin; John Forsythe, of Coolc; E. L. Conk- rite, of Stephenson; J. E. Herrington. of Kane; W. A. Cochrane, of Shelby; Hon. A. A. Glenn, of Brown; W. D. Richardson, of Winnebago; W. E. Corlin, of Jersey; and W. R. Priekett, of Madison. S. S. Jade,of Macon; G. D. Plant, of Cook; A. M. Brooks, of Springfield; are the Democratic aspirants for nomi­ nation as Superintendent of Public In­ struction; while of tne Republicans, Hon. N. Bate man; W. B. Powell, of Kane; E. L. Wells, of Ogle; and Prof, Boltwood, of Princeton, are mention­ ed. Ex-Treasurer Hon. Thos. Kidgway, one of the Republican candidates for Treasurer, is one ot* the best financiers lathe State, and the people would do themselves honor by electing him again to that position. IttAGTlCE OF MKDICINK. As considerable is now being said about the new law in relation to the practice of Medicine, we publish be­ low , for the information of our read- ore, Section 12 and IS of said law, which shows the whole thing in a nut­ shell. 19. [License--Venders of Drugs.] Any itinerant vender of any Drug, nostrum ointment, or appliance of any kind, intended for the treatment of disease or injury, or who shall, by writing or printing,or any other meth­ od, publicly profess to cure or treat diseases, injury, or deformity by any drug, nostrum manipulation or other expedient, shall pay a license of one hundred dollars (|l00) a month, to be collected in the usual way. 13. [Penalty for not Complying with ft.] Any person practicing medicine or surgery in this State without com­ plying with the provisions of this act, shall be punished by a fine of not less than lifty dollars (850) nor more than five hundred dollars (#>00), or by im­ prisonment in tli«* countv jail for a period ot not less than thirty days nor more than three hundred ana sixty-five days, or by both such fine and impris­ onment for each and every oftensa; and any person filing or attempting to file, as his own, the diploma or .certifi­ cate of another, or a forged affidavit of Identification, shall be guilty of a fel­ ony, and, ajpon conviction shall be anbjcct to isuch tine and imprisonment as are made and provided by the stat­ utes of this State for the crime of forgery, but the penalties shall not be enforced till on and aftor the thirty* first day of December eighteen hund­ red and seventy-seven; Provided That the provisions of this act shall not ajS- ply to those that have been practicing medicine ten years within this State. UTK DAIRY MARKKTg. New York, March 18th, 1878. Butter.--Receipts f&r the week were 14.830 packages; exports, 3,579 packages. The market is dead and nominal. Receipts are heavier than expected and the unusually warm weather has had a depressing effect.-- The price list commences at 7 to9c. for stale, long-stored or otherwise very common stock, and 10 to 12c. for solid western store-packed butter or any common greesy, cheesy or partly ran­ cid State butter and so all along up from, say 12 to 18 to 20c. for fairish State stock as in quality. Twenty to twenty-four cents buys nice fresh fac­ tory western make, and State butter has got to be-very good to compete with It. Buyers take this western fresh mill butter In preference and it is difficult to know what is to become of the early made State dairy butter. Cheese.--Receipts for the week were 14,205 boxes. Exports 27,789 boxes. Fine white cheese are scarce here and holders have something to say about the price, but the quotations of other descriptions are nominal-- best colored cheese say 13 to 13Jc.-- We quote: Fine September and Octo­ ber make 13$ to 14c.; fair to good do., 12 to 13c,; early made good to fine, 10 to 13c,; part skimmed and oft flavor, 8 to 10c.

From the present outlook it seems that a general Eastern war in which four or fire powers are likely to become engaged, is imminent. The Chicago Post, speaking of this matter says: ^The rumor that England is deter­ mined to have war in any event, is strengthened by the continued activity it Woolwich. The men are working from three to five hours extra time each day, and the force is exceedingly large. In the military schools cadets are being forced through, the terms being shortened nearly six months, to supply officers for the vacancies in the army. Either war is intended or else the Government Is recklessly using Its .. tnoney.1 .That England has now got herself In a position where she must either fight or back square down is certain. What •rill be done time al«»ne can tell. In very short time " we shall seo what we •ball see.* Points for Business Men* 1. All men in business must adver­ tise In some way. All men In business do advertise, somehow. 2. Newspapers afford tbo best gen­ eral medium. 3. The object in advertising Is simply to bring buyer and seller! to- together--succcssful advertising must, therefore, do three things: A. Be intelligible aud explicit as to the things on sale. B. It must reach the class likely to buy. C. It must pureuade them that It will be to their advantage to come and buy. 4. The interests of sellers, buyers and advertising medium are mutual. 5. Sellers, buyers and newspapers are all three equally Interested in sus­ taining this mutual relation. 6. The Common notion of patronage as regards newspapers is falHclous.-- As all persons are buyers, all sellers should be advertisers. As nearjy all persons are sellers, all buyers should take newspapers--In both cases for their owu sake, not for the newspaper's sake. 7. The profits of well-conducted newspapers are a measure of the busi­ ness prosperity of the community.-- We all thrive together by contribut­ ing to the support of om another. This is truth in a nutshell, and needs but a line or two to make it perfect, to-wit; Nearly every successful busi­ ness man in the country who has made a large fortune in trade, lias been a liberal advertiser in newspapers. T O M A T O . This new Tomato is without donbt the Ear­ liest and Best Variety grown; else above me­ dium, smooth as an apple, nearly round; very solid, fine flavor, and excellent quality every way. Fruit is a beautiful dark crimson clus­ ter, large, ripening evenly and perfectly, be­ ing free from the hard center core which many varieties possess. From seed sown in open ground in latitude of Northern Illinois and Southern Wi-c.onsin, fruit begins ripen­ ing Jnlv 15th to 20th.
