The East never coneocteft'-f hellish scheme, to reb the people of the /country that It did not do It In the name oC honesty, With accursed hypocrisy it always shouts for the public faith. With dlvilish skill It plays npon ttaf im­ pulses of honor that n4vw ban­ ished from the hearts of men. ^ Eight years ago the Eastern robbers took hot far from seven hundred millions •f dollars frem the pockets of the tax­ payers, and placed them in the pockets of the bondholders, all in the name of the "public credit." With character­ istic hypocrisy the plunderers labeled the bill that authorised the stupen- ous theft,'"An act to strengthen the public credit." Four years ago the e gang of public robbers that have wnrich by illchlng from the mil­ lions of poor had ^beir agents vii the floor of Congress to swear that the Coinage Act made no different In the moneys of tiie ceuntrj-, thus demon- etising sliver by falsehood and in the dark. Now the howl Is raised about ^repudiation.^ "dishonesty,' dud cheap money." Are we more in favor of cheap money than the East is of dear money? The East lias Mice added forty per cent to the contract. It ts angry n§w because In is likely to be unable to add ten percent more tti what was nominated in the bond. The public •debt of the United States, with the exception of the "rag-money" bonds, that are worth from 9 to 15 per cent, more than any coin bonds in the mar­ ket, w*s by the law of its issue made payable in silver coin, iu the old silver dollar. It is printed on the b«nd» themselves that they are so payable. Are the Representatives of live-sixths of the people in Congress to be de nounced by a den of thieves as dis­ honest, because they vote to obey the joutract? When created, the debt was .made payable In geld er silver coin If the faver of God aiid human indus­ try in the meantime have Interfered to make the payment ef the debt possi­ ble and easier, we rejoice in thn fact But even Omnipotence is scarcely eqnnl to the task of defeating the plunderers in the East, where gold has bought journals and Congressmen. If we are dishonest la insisting upon the terms of the contract In tlte Interest of the many who are needy, the Eastern men who insist upon violating the Contract te fill the plethoric purses of the purse-proud rich and the few, are mid­ night highway robbers and heartless villains. We take the liberty, en be­ half of A vast population of henest men, to file .notioe on the Eastern organs ef the money power that we ape tired of; being called %'repudiaters" for implicit obedienoe to the letter and spirit of tit# bond. Produce a btisyfi ef the United States that was not By the law of its Issue and Is not by the contract printed dn the bond itsfIf, payable in silver ooin, and no representative Western man Is In favof of paying It ttt silver. But the New York press cry: uIt is Ineondfevable ihat Mr. Ilayes <»n ever sign a bill that would pros­ trate the national credit and make it impossible fer the Govmnuient ever te sell another bond in Europe." The i f f t i m o t h o l e ef national happi­ ness and glory |s, then, te Sell bouds( and in Europe! niw send word from the jpreat West to the bond­ holders and th#ir organs }n (he East that if they are Wise they will not further exasperate the great producing and bond-paying olasses of the country. The latter may be taught that it is A misfortune to be toe honest. . *' - ie----=-- ' tf WITHOUT' OCCUPATIOJf. vp, ° The man who has nothing to dofs the ttvost miserable ef beings. No matter how much wealth a man possesses, he can be neither contented nor happy without ooeupation. We were b«rn to labor, and the world is our vin^yard.-- We can find a field of usefulness almost anywhere, to occupations we forget our cares, our worldly trials, and our sorrows. It keeps us from constantly worrying t^nd brooding oyer what is Inevitable.

What te expect from the system of telegraphy should understood by the public as the Postal Service; but there are few people-espec ially among the patrous ef the country offices--who understand th* simplest matters spoken of here. There are some people to whom these thtug3 are as familiar as superscribing & letter, affixing a stamp and posting it; yet* there are many who are unfamiliar with them, either because they have net used the telegraph er, If they have *»sed It, because they have never taken pains te learn Its minor requirements. For the purpose of making the cor­ rectness of these hints certain, w* Interviewed the "Manager*? of one of the country offices. He was willing to give us the information because, as he he said, MA better aOfaihtance be­ tween the country people, and the tele­ graph company would bfc of mutual benefit. One noticeable tiling In the tariff system of the Western Union Telegraph Company is that the tariffs decrease in proportion to the increase of business.*' lie called my attention to the numerous nowspaper oouiments on the recent consolidation ef the tV^e^ern Union and Atlantic ahd Paoifle teler graph companies^ the cdmmen|ltions In most instances, mistakenly speaking of great increase ef tarifis as a si^re re­ sult, The rates from points which were formerly in competition with the A. & P. Ce., were increased,but orSy te a living heighth. It was only a few days after the consolidation when a general reduction of rates took plafeo. by which many 40, -and 50 cent rates were reduced to 3ft cents; and many rates higher than $1 were reduced M* that amount. It made the rate for 10 werds or less for a distance ^ --10(1. miles or less (direct measurement) 85 cents, and left no rate between W<e IT* offices higher than $1 (Theabove are euly applied- to Western offices in the United States,East Mississippi River; but they i lowsii, Missouri and a few Louislaua). . v.;--".' There is no rates less than ift cents. Chtuge is made ou nothing but the • Body." The "Body" of a telegaam Is the message proper, exclusive of date, address aud signature' The reg­ ular tariff"provides far a.message of 10 words. When a telegram contains less than 10, the rate for 10 words is charge d; when more than 19, ©hargo is made for each excessive word. Tims when the tariff fer 10 words'!*21 cents a telegram containing euly the necessary, "Yes," would cost 25 cents; and #hen mere, than 10 words In the body 9 cents would wouhl be charged for each excessive word, &c. When more than one signa­ ture is subscribed every signature, ex­ cepting the last one, Is counted and charged the lame as if they were In the body of the telegram. No charge is made for th® delivery of a telegram within one-half mile frem the office at which It is received for delivery. (Whea sending to a party whose resi­ dence or place of business is further than ons-haif »l|e from a tsHpraph office the sender should make prevision for delivery); When & telegram goes to a peron who has left the town pre* vlous to Its reception it is re-forwar­ ded to htm, if Ms whereabouts can be ascertained, but it Js charged for the same as if it had originated at the re- forwarding office. "Half Rate Message" •Night Message," and "Bed Message? are synonymous terms Indicating a message en which only half ef the regular rste has been charged, and which will be sent sometime during the night and delivered the next day. The latitude of the "Half Rate" rule extends Into the Provinces north-east of Hhe United States and te many, but net to all ef tlft States West of the Mississippi Rivsr, ^ The first thing inf writing a telegram Is to ask the telegrapher for ai4Blank" (The Company "have furnished him with an abundance of blanks and it is an imperative rule ^that all messages shall be w^en on such blanks. Thus If it iswriten otherwise, the telegraph­ er is placed In a predicament where h6 is obliged to either ask that it be re­ write n or disobey a rule of his employ­ ees). The plaoe for the date is indict ted by a line which Is the first *Blank.* On this line the date should be Writtea and sneuld include the name of towns, state, month, day ef menth and the year. l{ext in order oomes the address which is a very important part. It is mueh better to have no abreviatiens, and, as tbe address is not changed fer it is prudent to make it perfectly plain regardless of brevity. It should ineludc the name of the person fer Whom it is intended and should-contain no tit3e, but the street and number, the town and state cannot be made toe plain.
