Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1869-01-14
Marshall County, Indiana.

Twenty-Five years ago we first
passed through Marshall County.
Real estate, then, within three
miles Of the Co unity seat, could have
been purchased for SO per acre; than
the dense forests and heavy timber
ed land appeared to the emigrant
seeking q home, an obstruction to
the wealth and civilization of the
county: hence parties desiring to To-
cate sought the broad prairies Of
the West. and even the less fertile
oak openings as a more desirable
place for q home.
The lapse of twenty years has
demonstrated the fact that that which
theu seemed to be barrier to wealth,
that which seemed to render the civ
ilizatiou of the county inaccessible,
has been the means to secure this
end When crops failed elsewhere,
many times the laboring class was
reduced to extreme want; but if
such q failure occurred here, our
mighty forests furnished employ
ment to all our lahorers, brought
wealth into the county, and no visi-
BILE reaction followed. Indeed, we
may say that the failure of farm pro-
auctions alternating with prosperity
Ia this direction, caused our forests
to yield to civilization and add to
the wealth and prosperity Of tie
county; that which We thought to
be an obstruction proved to be a
fortune. Twenty years ago SO wo'd
purchase III acre Of land where now
it would require 800. No finer
wheat-producing county can now be
found in Indiana Plymouth, its
County Town. pleasantly situated
on the banks of Yellow River has
in the period Of twenty years, grown
from a small village to city of 5000
inhsbitants. It's numerous machine
shops, manufactures, business bous
q, and the daily crowded street.
convince us that the county is rap
idly improving. and that Plymouth
is the best business point be.weeI
Fl Wayne and Chicago.
In saying this much we should no
be considered as one having an in
terest here we wish to dispose of
tut % an impartial writer, as all tn
real property We possess of any con
sequence is in another county.

RESU MPTION.

ReiOInder OF senator Morton
to Mr. GrceIey,s Last Letter
The Senator ably Defends
his Financial TheOry-Dis>
asirOus Results of Ina HI edi-
ate Resumption.
The follc wing is Senator Morton's re-
joinder to the second letter Of Horace
Greeley, published in the New York Tri-
6une OF Friday last:
WASHINGTON. January 4ih, 1869.
Hon. Horace Greeley:
DEAR SIR: have always been averse to
newspaper controversies, and this is the
first one into which have been beguiled.
Your second letter, like the first, proceeds
upon the assumption that by q mere dec
laration of resumption the currency would
be brought TO par, and that such declara-
ton should he made without delay This
assumption is unsupported by a single
fact or argument. 1t is eontradicted by
all financial experience, whether in con>
nection with governments or banks.
You offer to prove that resumption
should take plcae ut once, by saying that
the way drunKard to reform is To reform
at once, and for sinner To repent Is to
repent at once. and not. at the end of two
years and half. Pardon me for saying
cannot see the analogy. There would be
quite as much wisdom in saying that The
child should be born a man to save time,
because the way to reform drunkard Is
TO reform at once.
AS military commander, you would
attack every fortress by storm, without
awaiting the slow process of investing and
battering down its walls, because the way
for a sinner to repent is 10 repent at once.
Sneh 10 your logic.
When you gravcly fell the country that
resumption at period in the future, Civ.
ing time to the Government and tire people
tn prepare for II, would cause more dis
tress than immediate resumption, the prop
osition seems 10 require no answer. II
II would be quite as logical to say that I,
would be safer to Jump down Niagara, like
Sam Patch, than to go down by the inclin.
ed plane. as4t ,ft
j You say that questions of finance re.
ceive practical solutions in New York
which are not familiar in Indiana. Thi,
Ia most likely true, and yet there are soms
things very well understood even In Indi
ans, and among them that . knowledge o
stock and gold gambling is not necssar,
tr q correct understand al the law of a
nance, and that the less we have of tn,
