Of whom ever thought q thought or
voted q ticket other than the Re-
publican ticket) are fully convinced
this measure must be adopted, aud
will aid any party in its consum.
nation.
That it will be demanded by
common requirement by all par.
ties, or become a powerful and over
powering aid to pubic confidence
by one or the other of the great
parties of the day, every hour dem.
oIstrates. That a proposition. so
fair and lawful should be opposed,
except'its consummation would be
fraught with injury, is strange
That it should become a party
measure is unfortunate, as men OIL
all parties are interested in the pay
ment of the pnblic debt, and all
would be benefited If it could be
paid and paid now. So unfortu-
nate is now our condition, that no
public measure of vital Importance
but what is seized by one or the
other Of the parties aud made sub
servient TO party ends. This meas
ure of all others should not thus be
embarrassed; but after cool, caro-
full examination If found just, poll.
tic and beneficial, be generally
adopted, and 70 exclusive benefits
inure to any party. For one, /
would preforit should not be made
q party question, and as far as ]
can, will endeavor that no aid to
the Democratic party shall inure
from its discussion or adoption.
To illustrate my proposition:
Last winter. am informed, one
hundred and eighty.eight millions
of bonds held by National banks as
a reserve, became due. Instead OF
paying these bonds in currency,
and letting tho banks put it in
their pigeon holes as q reserve,
Congress issued new bonds, paying
three or five per cent, and thus
failed in releasing tho country not
only from the principal in tho fu.
ture butinterest now and until they
become due. Now, would it not
have been fair to have paid those
bonds in what they called for, as
they were lying idly by in the
vaults of the banks, and greenbacks
would be as good a reserve as these
bonds, and pay no interest? Just
so; as soon as any of these bonds
payable in greenbacls become due,
call them in, cancel and pay them
in greenbachs. Who would be in.
jured, and where is the unfairness
in the Government doing just what
it promised to do? Let us discuss
this question fairly. 1t can do no
harm. CITIZEN.

galar phase OF the policy of these

of diminishing taxation to add two

circumstances that prevail here
should but stimulate genuine I'm
ion Republicans to increased epor-
gy and determination in behalf Of

the past low years arc not chang

ths ballot box is yet to decide
whether disloyalty, as represented
by tho late democratic rebellion,
or loyalty, as represented by tho
Union armies and the great Un-
ion party during the war, is to pro
vail in this Nation. The duties Of

How the WOOl-GrOwers have
Sheared Themselves.
Last January we showed by sta.
tistics that American wool had al,
ways borne q botter price when
foreign wool was admitted under
II low duty, than when a high
protective" duty against foreign
wool was enforced. Our object in
showing this was to warn the west.
ern wool-growors against the fol.
ly of insisting upon what would
certainly cause them serious loss,
viz: II higher duty on wool. 100.
But they were taken with the
name Of "protection, and persuad.
cd Congress though it rejected tho
general tariff bill, to grant thom as
a special favor higher and what
they called protective" duty on
foreign wool, as measure to "pro.
tect' them, the home producers.
Now II is q curious fact that ever
since this new and higher rate OF
duty went into operation the price
of American wool has declined, and
the prospect is now that tho greedy
and purblnd wool.growers Of O.
will not get within several cents
per pound us much for their wool
as they would have got had they
left the duty on imported wool
where il stood.
Does any ono wonder at this and
ask how it happensP The oxpIa.
