The POTTER JOITRRAI AKD NEWS iTEIsdL . mtmt ■■^■■■ii■ i ■■ ■ *< •* " >- COTTDERSFORT. P„ Feb. 18. 1874. Ir FOB SIOO worth of wheat we can get foreign goods worth $125 the "balance of trade" is $25 against us, but we make $25 by the opera tion.— Chicago Tribune. If we never pay the $25, yes. If we do pay it where does the make come in ? We do not pretend to un derstand financial or commercial questions, but wc think the advo cates of free trade talk rather more nonsense than the other side. In spite of all the sophistry of the ablest writers it remains as true of nations as of individuals that if the purchases a.e greater than the sales or incomes the result is debt, hard times and loss of independence. THERE is great inducement for every American youth to study and work. They cannot all reach the Presidential chair, but each one can become a successful teacher or farmer or mechanic, and they can all devel op themselves to the fullest extent— and that is the highest privilege any one can enjoy. A BITTER maker in I lysses, who sold nine hundred dollars worth last year, says lie is making preparations to double the amount this year. We commend this man's example to every farmer in the County./ There may not be many who can double the amount of last year's product? but there are very few who cannot produce some more this year than last—one and ail can try to do so. The way to try effectually is to be gin now. Take bitter care of your cows than you did the latter part of last winter ami you will be amply compensated for the care and feed by an increase of mill; anil butter. Heligioua Liberty. The Ilarrisburg Patriot, of Feb. (i, has a communication on this subject which contains information of inter est to many of our readers. The following paragraph contains mo t of the facts embodied in the commu nication, anil is very encouraging to those most interested. We hope the bill referred to may become a law; Harrisburg, February 2, 1874 Ed. Patriot —Dear Sir: Among the noticeable events at the state capitol are the efforts of the Seventh Day Baptists to procure an amendment of the Sunday law. A bill to that effect lias been int.odueed by Mr. Reynolds, of Bedford, and referred. Besides this a memorial to the same effect has been presented from an as sociation of that denomination ot about, twenty churches, and many pe titions, numerously signed by promi nent citizens of the state—and they are continually coming in. Public opinion is manifestly in favor of ac cording to those people their right of conscience, and removing the pen alties of the law of 1794 as against them. They are represented her.' and strongly urging their claims for relief from the embarrassment arising out of the above law. THE man that indulges in the use of intoxicating drinks makes but a poor Temperance Lecturer. The man that has grown rich by oppres sing the poor might as well keep quiet about the short-comings or greed of his neighbors; and the man that retains the possession of prop erty by trick or deceit that ought to be delivered up to satisfy the claims of creditors, is not in condition to lecture others on morality, or to de nounce, with good effect, fraud and corruption in high or low places. "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shall thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Don't Do It. The Legislature have two projects under consideration that ought to be promptly dismissed. The first is a large increase of the salaries of the of the Com monwealth. All excuse for such in crease passed away with the restora tion of peace. The cost of .living in the same st \ le is now within ten per cent of what it was before the war, and yet toe bill under consideration in the House increases the salaries of all the Law Judges of the State' to nearly three times the amount paid them previous to the year \ Wi.i At that time Ihe salaries of the Jndges were as follows: "The Chief Justice, three thousand dollars; the salaries • . of the Associate Judges, two thous and eight hundred dollars each; the s laiy of the fudges of the district court, rnd president. : .nd associate I s *" ' 4urt of c.Lumon i pleas of the county of Philadelphia* jtwo thousand eight hundred dollars each; the salaries of the judges of the district court and president judge of the court of common pleas of Uie county of Allegheny", twlHTiousand five hundred dollars each; the salary of the president and associate law 1 judges of the several courts of com mon pleas of this Commonwealth, ; two thousand dollars each." The House bill proposes to fix the salary of the Chief Justice at nine thousand dollars and that of the president and associate law judges at five thousand dollars each. There is no good reason for this lavish in crease of salaries. The people are not in any mood, at this time, for traveling in that direction. They are compelled to retrench in their expenses. Many of them can re member when Chief Justice Gibson served the state for sixteen hundred dollars a year, and when such peer less lawyers as Rogers, Kennedy, Sergeant and Burnside did the same thing. If sixteen hundred dollars a year secured suchju lge*, surely/our thousand a year ought to be quite sufficient for any that we now have, or are likely to have in this genera tion. The people are very properly demanding retrenchment, economy and fidelity to their interests. The House of Representatives seems to be inclined to turn a deaf car to this demand. Gentlemen of the House, you will hear thunder next fall if you refuse to listen to the earnest re quest of the people for rigid economy in expending their money. Hence, we note your second project lor wasting money that will, not be endorsed, and that is the proposition to enlarge the hall of the House of Representatives. There is not the! slightest necessity for any enlarge ment of the hall. Remove the lobby seats and the partitions thai make a cloak room on the right and a com mittee room on the left of the speak er, and two hundred members can be comfortably seated, with desks, in the present hail. The speaker and clerk can be heard more distinctly in the present room, so arranged, than in any larger one likely to be con structed. We arc not of that class who cry out "job" at every act of the Legis lature that does not suit us; on the | contrary, we believe the average | legislator is quite as honest as the average editor, and quite as desir ous of discharging with fidelity the duty before them, and therefore we ! appeal the more confidently to the present ll< u e to halt in both the projects named, for we are sure the people will approve neither of them and by reference to the leport of the State Treasurer, the members will see there is staring them in the face a probable loss of two millions of reve nue during the present year, in con sequence of taxes repealed at last session. Let each member constant ly keep in mind this warning of Mr. Mackey and they will pretty certain ly not increase salaries or undertake to build "State Houses" either at Ilarrisburg or Philadelphia: It is possible that with strict econ omy in the appropriations for the present year, the revenue will be suf ficient to provide for the ordinary expenses and for the payment of that amount of the public debt which the Constitution requires to be redeemed annually. Looking at the Dark Side. A friend writes from Kansas, Dec. 12, 1873: "It strikes me with wonder, that J. S. still keeps his faith in politics, o r at least, in political parties. 1 don't believe lie could if he lived in Kansas; not if lie is the J. S. he was thirty years ago. I remember hear ing him say, once: "An organization never was reformed. Reform must come by making new organizations," I was young and sanguine and did not believe him then. I believe it now and therefore feel less sad at the sure disintegration going on in the dominant party here. Nothing short of Tammany Demo crats can be much worse, more venal and villianous than the Kansas Re publicans have become. It is in comprehensible to me how the very men who, only a few years ago, risked life and property for freedom can ; risk, and lose, soul and reputation for money and power. Rut they do.! Some" "of the heroes of the old dark 1 days were dirty heroes then. _ Other some are bribers and thieves, now. i and others still are drunkards—some i were then. A few are good and true men, ami half of these no longer work with the party they helped to make, for it has grown corrupt and they cannot reform it. lam sorry parties are no better than churches, but, like them, when they get popu-. lar they fail from grace. The newspapers give very little idea ol* I he extent of the disaffection and disintegration going on. With astonishing short-sightednesS they adopt the eld tactics of the Democ racy, of ignoring, suppressing and misrepresenting the ideas of those who oppose their course. The\* seem to forget that the want of fair play lost the Democratic party its former power. But the old Democrats, in cluding Mr. Alcbison himself, are good Republicans now! JJo wonder the party has fallen from grace. "A rose is as sweet by any other name." So is a mephixtir <, I suppose. It is unfortunate for Kansas that there has not been inside opposition enough to keep the dominant party on its good behavior. Instead of holding out, the enemy came over and brought their "morals and other diseases" into our camp,to our great detriment. One consequence of these financial morals is visible in our tax list. We pay six per cent on all property as sessed and the sassessment is about sixty per cent of the true value of the property; though in fact the property would not, at forced or tax sales, bring near so much as it is assessed at. Our last Treasurer but one, in this County, left an unbalanced account, with a deficit of IS,OUO dollars. They tried to elect the same man Recorder this fall, though his defalcation is only six years old!" To the best of my belief J. S. is fighting it out on the same line and with the same purpose as "thirty years ago." He feels complimented that any of his youthful sayings should be remembered so long, and hopes that none of them injured those who heard them, or need modifying more than the ou£ my friend has thrown at me. Without stopping to enquire whether the words used will answer for an iron rule, let us look at the application. "An organization never was re formed. Reform must come by mak ing new organization*." Suppose J. S. should reply that the Republican organization, of which he is a mem ber, does not need reforming, what then ? The words spoken thirty years ago referred to organizations that were publicly committed to injustice, oppression and slavery. The Republican organization is not committed to any wrong purpose that I am aware of; on the contrary I most heartily endorse all the prin ciples and measures to which it is committed and point with pride and pleasure to the fact that the party has nobly redeemed the pledges made by its National Conventions. It does not, therefore, need reforming. It only needs to require that the men \\ ho come to it merely to secure office, should take back scats and that it bring its honest men to the front That work I am glad to believe has com mence! with vigor, even iu Kansas, as the election to the Senate of Un united States of ex-Governor Harvey abundantly proves. It is barely possible my friend is misinformed as to the misdeeds of the Kansas Republicans. It is not the best people that are just now filling the air with the cry of corrup tion and venality. Most of that kind of talk in this State,comes from lobbyists, dissapointed office seekers ana others who have no principles. I shall never train in such company. J. S. ENCOURAGING WORDS Here is a letter so very compli mentary to the JOURNAL that we tiiink now we can bear a good deal of blame. So if any of our friends have any hard reproofs to adminis ter, please speak quickly. SI'AKTA, January 8,1574. Your cordial little note was re ceived with pleasure and you might think I had no lack of time to an swer it. My family cares are not burdensome, but the less I have of these the more seems required in other directions. 1 have now three ladies taking lessons in painting; have a pleasant room up stairs. 1 read to thein when the}' do not need me and thus the forenoon does double duty. In the afternoon I work on my own picture when no social duty forbids, which, with my sewing and the nameless nothings required to keep the home wheels in good run ning order, occupies my hours, "from morn to snowy eve." I am glad your good wishes attend ed me home. Like a devout Catho lic who gets the priest's blessing to ensure safe conduct on the cars, I somehow feel that the friendship and kind feeling expressed while going in and out among you has added fears to-my fife. I feel stronger to take up life's duties, more certain of holding a place in the hearts Of my old neighbors and friends, than ever; a surer talisman against evil than the laying on of some priestly hands. I trust with God's blessing to nurture the growth of those kind remem brances, and in His own good time to visit 1113- "Mecca-Land" again. The JOURNAL is a most welcome visitor in onr home. Indeed I am so proud of it that 1113- neighbor over the way, who sends me her Christian Union , often laughs when I 333- that she is getting the best end of the bargain in the exchange, for the JOURNAL goes over there. Of course I refer only to the "hints and helps" to right living, and in that direction the JOURNAL does me the most good. In those-pertairrrntr to ttre home and business finances its maxims are worth a volume of "Poor Richard." I read "How to Prosper," in this week's pa per, to the appreciative three in my flass, aud one of them remarked the words were "like apples of gold in pictures of silver." I never knew just what this gilded and silvered phrase meant, but suppose it must mean truth spoken wisely. IF every reader of the JOURNAL is helped and strengthened to meet cheerfully the daily sacrifices that in sure a good home here and in the fu ture, the author has written a word in season. If people only knew how much real good such words do them we could have more testimony of their ellicacy than to "Piso's Cure" or "Rudway's Ready Relief." I can testify to having been benefitted and all at the low price of 1.75 in ad vance." I tliink one carries about with one, short newspaper id-as more pleasantly than those found in books. I look my paper over in the morning and the thoughts it gives me are companions for the day. Some weeks since, I was making ready for the entertainment of a few friends, and while busy compounding those treacherous things that not only "perish with the using" but, alas! for proud housewives, often "fall in the oven," the little article "And still he welcomes but with less of cost" did its good work. 1 made one the less venture in the uncertain land of cakes, and thereby saved enough to go to a course of lectures I which we are to have from our own townsmen. Every one said as they bade us good night: "We have had such a good time, such a pleasant j evening." * * * * Hv the strange law of compensa tion I tiiink 1 received double pleas ure by the courage I took to welcome my friends in a plain manner. The death of Ella T. was not un expected, but 1 know what a lonely i lace it makes in her home. Will she know the little mates who have gone but a little while before? and how I wish I could have seen her; that she might have had a word to carry to the little one who sleeps near her. Perhaps in that country "God's yea and nay Are not so far away Put tliey can hear thein when they please." One can only say to mourning moth ers : "Tls better to have loved and lost, Thau never to have loved at ail." The remembrance of the beautiful life of a dear child will always lie sweet, and it will, to us, always be | young. B. LAST Friday evening yve had the | rare pleasure of hearing two old friends. A minister, Rev. Charles C. Breck, of Wellsborougli, who used to preach here occasionally some thirty years ago, and the Episcopal church service, which is a friend of our youth to which we have always been much attached. | The evening was very wet, but the congregation was quite as large as is usual 011 Sunday—which was a pleas ant surprise. Mr. 11 reek has spent a good many years at Wilmington, Del., in what, we are in the habit of considering a more genial climate, but lias returned to his jearly home and his first charge among the hills of northern Pennsylvania. We hope it is for the rest of his days. HORTICULTURAL Of late years the people of this re gion have taken so much more inter est in the cultivation of flowers and ornamental plants than was formerly thought suitable or attainable, that the dilference is very manifest as one passes along the roads. This is an evidtDce of civilization and taste far more than of pecuniary ability, for we often lind the most abundant and beautiful flowers where there is every indication of narrow finances and humble ways. of living. This is perhaps owing in a great measure to the faculties afforded by the great florists and seedsmen who furnish rare and beautiful plants and seeds at very trifling cost, whose ad vertisements reach almost every one and whose goods are sent by mail in ever so small quantities to suit the means or wishes of purchasers. But we are glad to know that the old-fashioned way of gathering seeds in a neighbor's garden, and sharing roots with eacli other, is still some what in vogue; both because there is real delight in sharing these lovely out growths of Nature's hidden wealth of beauty, and because some of the old and common plants have { quite as'ranch of beauty ami grace and far more of dear home associations to ghtdden the eye and heart, bo,h of the indweller and the, passer by. Indeed it sometimes seems as though the new and vaunted species are like caricatures of their old ana loved originals; as witness the pan sies, (garden violets) which are pic tured in the tloiists' catalogues and produced from seed that we buy. Some are very line, but the most lose in grace and fineness of texture as they increase in size, and very few retain anything like their old rich coloring. What rose surpasses the old dam ask or the little burgundy rose? Tnen the hardy plants have a claim on our affections that no delicate ex otics possess. They, like ourselves, are indigenous. The home feeling extends to them as it does to robins and bluebirds, wrens and sparrows. We like all beautiful, rare plants as we enjoy guests. We delight in them, we make much of thein, but we give a deeper regard to those that share with us the rigors of the climate, that peep out with such fresh delight in the spring air and greet the warming sunsiiine. But the cultivation of flowers is a manifestation of some inborn grace, some native taste and faculty in the individual that is sometimes not ex pressed in other ways to our percep tions and so reaches, in its effect up on us far beyond the enjoyment of the flowers themselves. We see lux uriance of grace and beauty in the yard, in windows, covering stumps, adorning little patches of otherwise waste ground; overflowing rough boxes or broken dishes, and we turn eyes of wondering inquiry on the rough, coarse man or the toil hard ened woman, to see whether with this key we can perceive what else is in them akin to flower endure, what else of fine taste, refinement of feeling may be iddden in them. And if the faculty of perception lie in us, we always find that this is not alone. Tho Erie Railway. There are startling rumors afloat with regard to the building of a new line of railroad from Wellsville to Glean byway of the Honeoye. If built, it is to be double tracked; the old line to remain only for the pur pose of local traffic. A corps of en gineers have been over the route and approxed it. There still remains a question, however, whether it will not, instead of coming here, run from the McDoogall stand south and de louche near Corning. In the ab sence of reliable information, no opin ion can be formed as to how Wells vide will lie affected. Certain it is, that the road is to be double tracked and will run without doubt over one of the two lines, for I'resident Wat son is said to have the money se< ured. Which route will be taken, can only lie determined by tiie event.—Alle gany County Reporter. SAYS the Can a sera ga T< men: "G. 13. Wentworth and son of this town, keep ninteeii cows, and during tin past season since April last, received over one thousand dollars as receipts from butler and young calves of the stock." That is about the same amount per cow, as our Ulysses farmer realized; and it shows what can be done on a farm when well managed. We hope to receive numerous items next fall from farmers of this County,giving reports quite as favorable as the above, and we will send the JOURNAL for a year free to the farmer who produces the most butter per head from any num ber of cows exceeding ten.
