MAKING MONEY TOO PLENTY-AN
APPEAL To THE PEOPLE
From the Cincinnati Enquirer. 10th.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. 10th.
Almost the only so-called argument which
is urged by the bondholders against the
payment Of $40 bonds in greenbacks
is 1.-The plea that il will make money
too plenty. Now, if all the 500 bonds
were at once paid by an issue of new green
backs it would only increase the circulating
medium to 1900, 100000. There are more
than 100000 voters in the United States.
The issue of S2,0O000O,O00 of currency
would only put it in the power of each voter
to secure $500 for himself and family to
spend in the course of his lifetime. Is there
any voter who thinks that is too much
more than he will want? II every man
should get his $500, don't you think, rea-
der, that they could manage to dispose Of
it? Would you not agree to use your share
Farmer, merchant, mechanic and laborer,
are you afraid that money will be too
plenty? Reader, how has it been with you
Has money been too plenty or too scarce,
so far as you are concerned Are not your
fears that money will be rendered too hard
TO get, rather than too easy to obtain Are
you in favor of that political policy of the
bondholdsrs which consists in making
money scarce and times hard? Do you
think, reader, that we could not get
along with $2,000,000,000 of currency,
especially when the people of the United
States have to pay every year $780,
100000 dollars in taxes? How is this
immense amount of taxes to be paid
unless money is plenty? The govern
ment can't expect the people TO make brick
without straw! Great taxes require great
amount of money to pay them. But the
Eondholders tell us that if we pay the
bonds in greenbacks the latter will be worth
nothing. 1t is most singular that Uncle
Sam is perfectly good for his big notes in
the shape of $4,000, 100000 of bonds, but
is not good for the same amount when
owed in small greenbacks, especially when
the possessors draw $l50000,000 a year
interest, and the latter draws no interest.
Reader, don't you think that 81, 000, 000,
900, when it is held by all the people in
greeDbacks, is quite az likely to be paid by
the government as that amount in bonds
when they are held by only a few thousand
people? Is it likely the latter will repu~
diate greenbacks when their pockets are full
of greenbacks Reader, if anybody is
afraid that greenbacks will be too plenty
after the bonds are paid off, all he has to
do is to go to the United States land Office
and exchange them for land worth 81 %
an acre. 1t should be remembered that in
fifteen years we can call in the $4,000, 000,-
600 of greenbacks simply with the $780,
600, 900 year that we now pay in interest
on the bonds. That $150,000,000 is a
sinking fund which in that short space of
time would extinguish the whole debt and
cancel every greenback that wei issue to pay
the debt. If money is plenty we shall
have easy times. If it is scarce we shall
have hard times. Which do you prefer ?

THE New York Tribune says the Demo

1HE New YORK Tribune says the Demo-
cratic programme Of this year is
az. To make this white mans Cow
ernment,' by remanding the four millions
of blacks into political nonenity and
virtual serfdom.
al. To relieve the people from taxa
ton, by virtually repudiating the national
debt"
To which the Chicago Times responds {:
"The Radical programme must be di-
rectly opposed to that reputed as the DEM
ocratic programme. In such case, it would
read as follows:
al. To make this black mans govern
ment, by demanding eight millions of
whites into political nonenity and serfdom.
al. To increase the burden of taxation
for the purpose ofenriching Radical Offices
holders"
The people will decide in November be,
tween the two.

a FLY ON THE Rim OF THE Wheel.

Our Texas exchanges announce Mr.
Lorenzo Sherwood, of that State, as a
candidate for the Presidency Mr. Sher.
woods principal hobby is railroads. He
has been studying, for the last thirty
years, upon a scheme to make all rail-
roads subject to one idea and one system
in their operation, and to reduce freights.
His other hobby is torch and -turpen"
tine, but builds his hopes of the Presio
dency on his railroad views Sherwood
is impressed in the same way that half
million other "so-called' loyalists are
who think they can run the government
machine. He is a fly on the rim of the
wheel, and will, of course, meet with the
fate of all such insects similarly situated.

Our Chinese.

A glance at the Chinese portion of our pop
ulation develops the fact, that they are not
discontented with their status here, or by
any means desirous, as q people, to quit our
islands to return to their own country. Many
of them are engaged in various industrial
employments-they are landowners, farm
ers, gardeners, mechanics and traders. They
have localized their homes here, and so iden-
tilted themselves with our indigenous race,
that to most of them China is but a remem-
branee, and has no material influence on their
present or future. They have in word, be-
come domiciled.
This is due altogether to the fact that their
social condition Is better here than at home,
hat our law is more equal and uniform in its
application; and more than this, that their
abor is not only better paid, but the chances
Of accumulating property is vastly larger.
They come to a country, in migrating to these
islands, where the proportion of land to the
people is larger than in their own country,
and where competition in rude labor is vast
ly less, and wages are consequently higher
The actual effect of the introduction OF
Chinese laborers, upon themselves, must be
pronounced, in the main, beneficial, and the
manner in which they have settled here and
adapted themselves to the business and pro-
ductive work Of the country, is abundant
proof that they appreciate and choose to en-
brace the chances of life that meet them here.
Several hundreds of Chinese have sought
our shores during the past fifteen years-most
of them securing their passage and accom-
plishing their wish to migrate, by enter
ing into contracts to labor for period of
time, after arrival, at stipulated wages These
contracts have been worked ont cheerfully,
and If any have chosen afterwards not to con-
tinue at field work, it has been because the
small employments, such as gardening, ped
ding, specializing in produce, trading and
other work, has been more profitable or ad-
