SOUND AT LAST.


The Supreme Court Of the United
States has decided that the Government
currency which by law is made a legal
tender, is good for the payment of legal
liabilities which were created when gold
and silver were the only legal tender.
This latter decision reverses former
one, and has brought down upon the
court TRADE Of complaint from divers
sources. That it is just. logical and sound,
in all respects, there is no doubt. The
argument against it is simply this: s'The
money-lender parted with his gold when
the law required the borrower to pay
gold in return with interest" But, did
the borrower insure the lender against
every possible contingency or calamity
that might happen?
When the lender parted with his du-
cats, perhaps they were each of an ex-
traordinary fneness. But the necessity
of the government and the wisdom of
the times have reduced the fneness Ct
the coin, so that, in any one piece OF
number of pieces or dollars, there is not
as much real gold as there was in the
same number of dollars when the money
was loaned? What is to be done? The
Sbylock says: Il want just as fine
dollars as were in the market when th e
contract was made-just such dollars as |
parted with-just what was legal tender
then, and not what is legal tender now.
He discarded the idea. that he takes any
risk at all. He forgets that but for wise
legislation-the imposition of taxes
and the creation of a paper currency, the
government might have gone under, and
that, in such event he would have lost
the whole of his debt The Legislation
has not impaired the money lenders Sc.
curity, but has sared it from destruction.
The only true theory is that whatever i:
made legal tender by law, is such, ir
respective of the time when the note wa:
given. A dollar is dollar whether it il
made Of gold, or silver, or paper, withou
regard to its fineness of quality. provided
it has upon it the government impress
The last decision of the Supreme Cour
of the United States is the true one
| The almighty dollar men will, of course
rant aud rave through the press. Blu

this address prepared with a view of
meeting these charges, has utterly failed
of its object. To be successful in the
next campaign, the party must carry the
| united South, and then the South
would control the Administration. Be-
ing in power, what would the party thus
constituted do? They would refuse to
pay the pensions of our disabled soldiers
or the widows and orphans of our dead
soldiers, unless the wounded soldiers, or
the widows and orphans of the confed-
eracy were placed on the same footing.
They would not tax themselves to pay
the principle and interest of the public
debt unless they are allowed pay for
their late slaves. This charge has re-
peatedly been made but an authoritative
denial dare not be made. The Demo-
cratic party dO not accept anywhere the
fourteenth or fifteenth amendments.
Every Democratic member of the last
Senate of Indiana voted for resolution
declaring the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment Illegal This action is to be
taken as a reflection of the sentiments
ofthe party in Indiana Give the party
power and they will overthrow that
amendment and disfranchise the colored
men and their success would unseHle
everything. The Democratic party has
no policy to offer. The address affirmed
nothing, proposed no new policy or
measure. 1t is poverty stricken as to
principles. They oppose everything,
but offer nothing better. They oppose
national banks, but offer nothing better
to take their place; they talk of free
trade, but do not avow themselves in fa-
vor Of taxat ion. In the recent election
the State localissues had given the Demo
Gratis power, but next year it would 60
Republican by large increased majori-
ty. We heard much of the disintrega-
ton of the Republican party, but it was
not dead, not sleeping. but was guarding
itself for a more vigorous struggle than
ever. The party will not close its career
until liberty is assured to all from the
highest to the lowest. 1t is in the hands of
an allwise Providence, and is being used
for a glorious purpose.
Iu concluding his remarks he declared
his belief that if the Democr attic party
came into power, the Southern States
could quietly secede with the sanction
of the party. The people Of the South
insist upon their demands, as they did
not belieye there eyer would be another
war to preserve the Union.

SENATOR AgORTON:S SPEECH.

Senator Morton in his late speech in
reference to the condition of the coun-
try and parties, he said: This govern
ment must always be one of parties.
Conventions cannot make Or unmake is
sues. They grow out of the state of the
country and public opinions. Parties
cannot define issues Their province is
to take sides; and the questions to be
settled by the campaign OF 1872, are
those which have grown out of the war.
These are not dead and will not be dead
until the Democratic party is willing to
accept as accomplished facts the settle
mcnt Of the questions that have sprung
out of the war. That party was anxious
to ignore them, but this cannot be done
They must ack nowledge the reconstruction
acts, and the constitutional amendments
as "a final settlement of the issues before
they can be laid aside. The Democratic
party dare not declare its acceptance of
the situation The Southern wing of
the party controls that organization, and
has always done so. Mr.. Stephens. in a
recent letter declared, that the South
could not, and would not accept the Re
publican adjustment Of these issues as
final, and as soon as the party in the
North signifies its willingness to do SO it
would cause disruption between the
North and South. But the only hope Of
success in 1879 was in carrying the
whole of the Southern States. They
dare not risk a rupture. The Democrat
ic Senators and Representatives IN Con-
gress had prepared an address which
Wa drafted to meat the emergency, but
they tosaily failed TO meet the real issue.
They dared not accept the situation, and
barely alluded to an acceptance of the
constitutional amendments and recon-
struction laws as final settlement of
the issues. These would cause split
in the party, and there would be two
Democratic national conventions, as IN
1860. The fact that they will contest
the reconstruction settlement has been
repeatedly charged upon the Democrats
in Congress and elsewhere, in such a
manner as to command areply. and yet
