everything, except gold and silver, nominal
yalue equal IL double, more Of Its real paiue,
according to the ibHatiou of the tines," Be-
That is paper money has no value, and repre-
sents no real value. 1t has destroyed our man
ufactures, aud, worse than all, it has doubled
the prices Of everything over their real value.
Farmers, do you hear that You have been
selling your wheat at a dollar per bushel, and
less: and you are now given to understand that
this is a 'snominal value," caused 5y paper
money, whilst the real value is only fifty cents
per busbel or less; that is, this nominal value
is double or more of the actual value. What
do you think of such democracy as this Pro-
duce and wages, and almost everything, also,
have been coming down, down, and down, un-
til the whole country is suffering in conse-
quence of it: and yet it seems they sre, in the
opiuiens of sham democracy, double what they
ought to be- This is a rchash Of the Buchan-
an low wages doctrine, only little more bold
ly avowed than is usual In speaking of wa
ges and prices, Mr.. Buchanan, in his celebra-
ted ten cent speech said, I've quote from mem
ory, not having his speech at handy 'sreduce
wages to the European standard, and you COW
er the country with benefits aud blessing."-
The American laborers, farmers and mechanics
have been deprived of that protection afforded
by the tariff of 1912, and which they ought to
have, and as an inevitable consequence, prices
and wages are coming down to the european
standard, and of the abencfts and blessings
thus afforded, We are wiling that every tax
payer and voter shall Judge for himself.

STRaiGHTGJTISM!

The last Gazette has an article, trying to
show that disaffection exists in the American
party 10 Philadelphia. That paper publ,s hes
an advertisement from one of the city dailies,
signed by Mr.. Rankin and Macmillan, call
ing meeting of the Straight American party
in opposition 20 our State ticket. 1t will be
seer the meeting was anything but harmonious,
and all tina: was done to the advantage of our
excellent ticket. Here are proceedings
from the Press, and we hope the Gazette will
also publish for the benefit Of its readers
ADJOURNED MEETING oP THE AMERICAN
NOMINATING CONFERENCE.-The WHOLE
THING ENDS IN SMoKE.-P Pursuant TO pub
lished call, the Straight-out American nomina-
ting Convention reassemblcd at three o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the District Conrt room
There were about forty persons present On
taking the chair, the president made eorteous
speech, expressing the hope that the delibera-
ton and action of the body would be quiet and
gentlemanly, and of such a character as to make
none ashamed of the name of American. He
said that nothing would be wanting on his part
to lead to so desirable result-even If there
should be misunderstanding among u.s.
The secretary, De Young, then read the
minutes of the previous meeting, which were
approved
Mr.. B. B. jenkins moved to reconsider the
resolutions rejecting the Peoples candidates,
but, as he had not voted 10 the affirmative, he
was not competent 10 make the motion.
Alfred Crist, Esq, who voted in the afirma-
tive, moved to reconsider the resolutions re-
referred to by Mr.. jenkins, pending which mo-
ton the roll was called, aud the delegates who
were present took their places within the bar.
communication was received from several
members of tho American association of the
Twentieth ward, requesting that the Convention
admit to seat person whom they namc.
Another communication, purporting to be
from the President Of the Twentieth ward as
sociation, was received, containing the creden-
tials OF FIVE persons as delegates from that
ward.
Motions were made to admit the six persons
named In those two communications as dele
gates.
The Secretary remarked that this would be
giving the Twentieth ward six delegates, where
upon confused debate arose.
Mr.. G. r. Weniz, of the Twentieth ward,
then made statement, showing the regularity
of his credentials fresh lot of which he ex-
hibited.
For the next hour or so the Convention was
scene of ludierous disorder, at the close of
which the Tenth ward delegates protested
against the admission of police, and demanded
their credentials, after which they withdrew.
The Seventeenth ward demanded its creden-
tials, aud withdrew.
The Fourth ward, the Eighteenth ward, the
Ninth ward, the Third ward, the Sixth ward,
the Seventh ward, and one or two other wards,
whose names we did not catch, all withdrew
their credentials, and the majority with
drew.

Extravagancc:

IMPORTANT QUERIES will some Of
our Locofoco friends inform US Of the amount
of Indebtedness Of the County Of Bedfos4f
How many thousands of dollars we're bor-
rowed last SPRING.
How many hundreds of dollars, yearly,
has been paid, in the last two or three years,
for repairing the Court House and Jail
Why they have, during this whole year,
and in these hard times, man tinkcring about
the public buildings
How many hundreds of dollars will these
buildings cost this year up to this time
- How many will they cost till the end of
the year
Why they don't stop this unnecessary ex-
pense, when there is not dollar in the Treas
ury to pay the smallest amounts
Whether it is right, because this tinker q
few years ago turned Locofoco, that he should
be pensioned off the whole county, and be al-
lowed his own prices
Whether this work is not altogether un-
necessary, and costs double as much as il
ought?
And whether Locofocoism is not the cause
of the vast Indebtedness of our County and
State, and also the cause of the present hard
times.
Please answer. and lei the people know the
truth.

THE GAZETTE AND FREE TRADE

be GsfiysBarg 5far, our down Street neighbOr
delivers bins.lf as follows:
sIt THE paragraph was intended, we pre-
sumo, as a reply to an article OF ours, IN
which we endeavored to call the attention Of
tic public to TIE very obvious fact, that oil the
eu,!s which periodically prostrato our manufac-
turing interests are attributable alone 10 pa
per clrrcncy, which has 10 real value and does
not represent things Of real value"
A few weeks only lave elapsed since this
same editor of the Gazette gravely informed
-he readers that tie whole cause of our fnan-
cial emharrassmcnta, &c., was the failure of
..The Chic Life and Trust Company" We
took occasion at that time to expose and ridi-
cule this pueeile assertion o. pretended diseov-
ery, and attributed the cause Of the country 5
distress TO the free trade practices Of sham de-
nocracy, aud referred to the public meetings
of the people, and their similar views on the
same subject. Having no faith IN what he had
himself written TO deceive his readers, and no
doubl ashamed OF the ridiculous position lie
had assumed, he has now discovered another
sole cause Of our Financial embarrassmeuts,
and v;th all apparent seriousness informs US
that our whole troubles are ''a;tributable alone
to paper currency, which has no real value,
and does not represent things of real value"
Let US inqnire then how it comes that Presi-
dent Buchanan recommended, and the last
democratic Congress enacted law authorizing
tie issue Of t,oenty millions of dollars of pr
per mones, and the whole amount has actually
been issued accordingly If paper money rep
resents no value, and in addition to this, de-
k,roys our manufacturing interests, is it not III
comprehensive how professed democratic ad-
minisiration has issued twenty mllions Of pa
per money treasury notes, 10 less than six
months To US this looks like the ayowal of
determination not only to break down all our
vast manufacturing interests, but also to keep
them broken down.
But the Gazette, in its wisdom, further US:

has always been in favor of tariff for rcve-

Great Eastern Is admitted to be gigantic
tallure. II cost more to lsuueh ler than would
build respectable steam ship, aud about $500
oOU to tow her into deep water. And now
that she is af1oat, sufficient funds cannot bs
raised-or have not been-to eauip her f,r he,

OF this mammoth snip may nol have been in
vain, she may become the instrument. and tto
only one that could be found to answer th.
purpose, OF connecting the two continents bv
means of teleeT' 'phic wire. At least. 40
reasons Professor Morse, whose opinion are en-
titled to great consideration. He holds that
colled cable cannot be uncoiled without kink-
ing, and that therefore it must be reeled that
two vessels employed in laying it quadruple
the risks Of aceiden:, and therefore that On.
ship must be employed.
There is but one vessel that can admit NJ
cable being Teeled on it, or that could carry
the tonnage of wire necessary for the purposc.
and the Great Eastern is that vessel.
1t is not Improbable, therefore, that the
urent Eastern will be selected for the nex, trial
II ever ttsi attempt is made. II she should
successfully accomplish the greatest enterorise
OF the century, her building will not have been
IN vain. These fears have proved groundleas.l
