THE DEMOCRAT
Mineral Point, Friday, May 2, 157 U.
Geo. Crawford, Bobt. M. Crawford,
EDITORS AND rUOWHKTOBS.
Senator Davis holds the Repub
lican party responsible for the de
pression of business, and the entire
Republican press with one accord
abuse him.
On Saturday the legislative ap
propriation bill with the repeal of
the jurors test oath attached, passed
the House by a vote of MO to Hi).
Since that lime the supreme court
has decided the test oath law to he
unconstitutional.
Hayes hits vetoed the army ap
propriation hill, and in so doing has
done what many Democrats sincer
ely wished he would do, namely,
fixed the issue* for the next presi
dential campaign. In IHHOlhctwo
great parties will be ranged on caali
side of the question, whether or not
the American people want their
elections carried on under military
supervision. And the principle
of free elections will be triumphant
here, as it was in ()ld England more
than one hundred years ago.
How our Ht'iuihlinm Brethren
Dwell Together in I'nlty.
In its issue of three weeks ago
the Darlington Republican said :
”11 is now definitely Know n that the
slanderous attacks made upon lion,
|{, W. Keyes, last winter, inllieeol
iuiiiis of the •Irani County Herald,
were written by Horan* Itablee; so
that the boasted independence of the
Herald cmmlis in being Hie shield,
from behind which min candidate for
a high olllee is allowed lo slab am.(her
in I lie dark.”
The Herald replied :
“It is definitely known to the editor
of the Herald that, the above is a lie
compounded. We thought, by Hie
way, that, the Keyes carcass of last
wilder was so Car gone Ibid, even the
maggots had left il.”
Tim Herald of last week pursues
the subject further, and says :
“Mohs Keyes "boss” over sneak
thief politicians lias a piece id' man
uscript stolen from I Ids olllee ami is
as happy over it as a dog that has snc
cossfully made away with a picked
bone from Ids master’s meat bouse.
Ho lias II on exhibition atllio Mmli
sou I‘ost-oltiee and Hie pups of bis
litter fawn about him in pleasure over
his acquisition," * * * * This
simak thief Sftinpln is characteristic of
Mr. Keyes. It is his method of war
fare. It is the way ho fought Uepuh
llcau haltles. To induce men Io be
come Ifepiililicans on Urn merits of
Itepuliliean principles was never a
sort of victory appreciated by him.
His method is lo get Conkllligs, Hulls,
Hunkers and lliiidskopl's in olllee
men capable of doing dirty work
stealing (loverninenti revenue or
printing olllee manuscripts, and dirty
lllg tin* coals of such menus Wash
burn and Ituhlee.
The Herald further says, that
there are some other original maim
scripts Keyes ought to have on ex
hibition at Madison,ami then quotes
pome choice extracts from letters
written by Keyes, e. g: “If the
wolf howls, hell may be to pay.”
“You bet your guls, I will,” etc.
The letters from which these quota
lions are taken will be remembered.
The Herald made a bold, manly
light, against the election of boss
Keyes as United States Senator, last
winter, and for so doing it is de
serving of the thanks of every man,
in and out of the Republican party,
who desires to see our polities
pin died. 11 diil not prophesy
smooth things, which in the event
of Keyes' election could be explain
ed away, or retracted altogether, but
imule serious charges against liim,
furnished the proof to sustain the
charges, and warned the Republican
party that if il desired to retain Hie
confidence and respect of honest
mt'ii, it must forever east olfsiieli
political tricksters as Moss Keyes.
Those who sing the praises of
Keyes the loudest, are tin* ones to
tall down and worship him for
the gifts which he is able to bestow.
We challenge any one to point
out a single individual in this por
tion of the Stale who has been
an earnest supporter of Keyes, who
lias not afterwards been found ca
joling with him for some petty po
sition or ollice.
Of course this is none of our fu
neral, but il is well, perhaps to re
mind our Republican brethren
who a few months hence will cease
quarreling among themselves and
will with one accord, devote their
energies to pointing out the evils
of Democracy ami its co.rupt lead
ers—that at least a small amount of
their work might he put in at home
to good advantage.
Better Times Ahead.
We frequently hear it said that
j “Mineral I’oint is played out, and
| that her merchants are not doing
one-half the amount of business
that they did in former times.” j
The late failures of a few men an
quoted as an evidence of the truth
of the remark, without taking into
consideration the causes and cir
cumstances which led to these
failures. But we venture the asser
tion that at the present time Min
eral I’oint is in as prosperous a
condition and docs as large a
business as any city of similar si/.e
in Wisconsin.
It is unfair to compare* the amount
of business transacted here eight or
ten years ago with (he business of
to-day, without considering the
fact that times everywhere are
duller now than then. (Jo where
we will the same dullness seems to
prevail and money seems to he
alike gcarce, and it would lie strange
if Mineral I’oint should lie an
exception to this general rule.
It is true that (he depression of
the times is felt. The decrease in
the price of mineral, dry-hone and
black-jack has made work and
money less plenty here than for
many years, hut Mineral I’oint
has equal advantages with almost
any other town in the grain and
stock trade, and with a return of
better times she will come in for
her full share of prosperity.
We believe that (he dawn td'good
times is already upon us. From
the Must comes the cheering news
that the looms and factories which
ha ve been idle for many months are
resuming work, money is eagerly
seeking investment, and every thing
seems to betoken that we are just
entering upon an era of peace and
prosperity, business is being con
ducted upon a better basis than for
many years, money is measured
by its true standard, and with
bountiful harvests ami the im
mense number of hogs and cattle
raised throughout the West there is
no reason why the prophesy of bet
ter times will not prove true.
"The climax is past. Krom this
time forward the republic, will im
prove. Hut sensible men must not
anticipate sudden fortunes as in
former limes. Capitalists must not
look for cent per cent for their
binds. They must not even dream
of loaning at ten per cent on first
class security. Moneyed men and
bankers must be content with one
hall':ind one third of their former
revenues. So must merchants and
manufacturers be satisfied with sim
ilar reductions of returns on their
investments. Professional men,ar
tisans, and business men of everv
class innsl cheerfully make up their
minds to adjust their expenses to
the present stateof things,and then
they will gradually see and feel the
financial improvement that conies
from “cutting (hecoal according to
the cloth."
