The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1874-04-22

We published, some days ago, letter
from elder Hiram Munger" copied from
the Springfield Republican, to which news
paper due credit was given. We did not.
nor have we since, endorsed the sentiments
of the letter in any way, shape or manner
Unless, however, we may be misunder-
stood in this statement, we here and now
say that we do endorse every word, SEN
tencc and paragraph of Elder Munger's let
ter. Elder Munger is n man well known
and appreciated in this community. He is
known and beloved as sincere christian
and an ardent consistent temperance man.
lie has in times past accomplished much
of good in Rutland, both in the church and
in the cause of temperance. No one knows
OF him but to love or admire him. Vice
would shrink from his presence Those of
us who knew him, or know of him, do not
believe that newspaper, or individuals,
will help themselves, or injure this devoted
minister of the gospel of Christ, by calling
him Watey-eyed Munger, "His Munger"
or by personally abusing him in three quar-
tiers of column of so-called newspaper
If we are never found in worse company
than that of Elder Hiram Munger we do
not think that we, or our friends, will have
occasion to blush for us. Yet in certain
quarter, this billingsgate, that has been
poured out on Elder Munger, passes for de-
cency, love for your fellow men, and n
sincere advocacy of temperance.

THE VERMONT WAY.

We recall the time when majority of
the members of the legislature from Yer
mont, both of the senate and house, ex-
pressed their regret that the people had
elected certain man Governor. The
ground of their regret was that the govern
or was the person they desired to see repre-
sent Vermont in the United States senate
but the common sense, intelligent legisla-
turc of Vermont could not see how the
governor could with honor lay down the
office with which the people had intrust-
ed HIM, or how they could honora-
bly, call upon him to do ii. The matter
was considered in all its bearings. The
governor was consulted, and bis reply was
that, even If he should receive the unan-
nous vote Of the Legislature, he should not
feel at liberty to give into the keeping of
another the office with which the people had
intrustcd him. The legislature were of the
same opinion. The qualifications of the
lieutenant governor for the Office Of gov
ernor did not enter into the consideration
He was a man whom the people had honor
ed and have since elevated to the gubcrna-
toria chair. Thus has it ever been in Yer
mont. The people make the governor
the legislature make the United States SEN
ator-and honor has slictatcd that the voice
of the people SHALL be obeyed rather than
that of their representatives. We do not
think n parallel can be found in another
state in the Union. Ben Butler said, Sat
urday, that Washburn was ''the first gov
" ernor of Massachusetts who has demean-
"ed himself by being candidate for the
" Senatorship." This is false in sheer and
false in fact because Washburn was not
a candidate, and because John Davis was
elected United States senator while govern
or of Massachusetts. Notwithstanding the
talsehood, the prevailing custom of using
the glbcrnatorial chair as stepping-stone
to the senate is one more honored in its
breach than in its observance. The people
elect a governor because they desire that
particular man for governor, not to make
some one else governor; and it is high time
legislatures recognized this fact. Governor
Washburn may not he 50 much to blame
for the fact that Massachusetts has an un-
known man for governors some one tray
cling in TeXas-hut it does not speak well
for the legislature or the custom. The
Vermont way is the best We elect gov
ernor, and he remains governor during the
term for which he was elected, unless the
providence of God intervenes.

which the inference appears, from returns
already sent IN, that England is "going
conservative !" Scotland remains true TO its
liberal precepts, while Ireland, rs
might be expected, is in state of turmoil
and hair.pulling. The word hair is not
mistaken for the word ;ciye, since wire
pulling is unknown TO Erin, whose inhab-
itants are treated as mere children, unable
to comprehend the chicanery of politics.
When the ten constituencies of London
shall have been heard from, the issues of
the conflict will be tolerably certain since
the eyes OF the country arc upon them.
They are so thoroughly representative of
the condition of the liberal party that in
all parts of England the elections in the
metropolis will be regarded as indicative of
the pending fortunes of the contest. As
London does, many n remote constituency
will do.
The liberal party maintains that the
London bOroughs. together with the city,
ought to return twenty liberal members,
with the prime minister at the head; leav-
ing the minority seat for the city, and one
seat in parliament, to the conservative
party. This wise plan they think will he
carried ont II the electors are true to their
duties.
In mentioning Scotland it is remarka-
bic Tact that while the political balance of
England changes from one side to the

We regret to announce that, Tuesday.
John n Woodfn resigned his position as
teller in the National bank of Rutland.
His retirement would of itself, be a matter
of regret to all of the patrons of, or persons
having business relations with, the bank,
because they would miss his pleasing man
ners, his cheerful alacrity, and his readiness
in imparting information but it is still
more to be regretted, because i, betokens
his removal from Rutland to another field
of labor If we mistake not, Mr.. w. came
TO Rutland ten years ago, and after being
two years in the postoflice, he. in 1866, be-
came connected with the National bank of
Rutland where he has ever since remained
ingratiating himself into the affections
confidence, and respects of the whole COM
munty by his gentlemanly conduct, strict
integrity, patient attention to business, and
above and beyond all, by his daily walk
and conduct We regret TO have him
leave us, but we can most warmly COM
mend him to the community with whom
he may cast his lot. He will, we are sure,
prove an addition to the business and social
circles of any town or city, and reflect
credit upon his present home-Rutland.

WILL THE COUNTRY BE POORER.

1t seems to us that it would be difficult
to find anything more ridiculous, or more
false both in theory and in fact than the
statement that return to specie payment
would reduce the value of the property of
the country and its inhabitants poverty
some fifteen per cent. The argument is
this. An immediate return to specie pay
ments would depress prices, the saleabe
value of all kinds of property would be re-
duced, say fifteen per cent, and that, there
fore, tor every one hundred millions of
dollars worth of property we now have,
we should then have only some eighty-five
millions OF dollars worth. This is the ar
gument, and the whole of it. But is there
any Truth or sense in it The value of
property what is it now Is il real
or apparent value? What is the standard
OF values, deprecated currency or specie?
Is 1t not fact, that all property Is not
represented by fictitious or apparent and
not real value This can be illustrated
IN two ways. One has parcel of real es-
tate, which he calls worth one thousand
dollars. What he means is that il is
worth one thousand dollars IN greenbacks
or national bank notes. THIS class of cur
rency is deprecated, is worth only some
eighty-five cents on the dollar. 1t follows
then, does it not, that the real estate IS ac-
tually worth only eight hundred and fifty
dollars.' Surprising then that upon re
turn to specie payments, that piece of real
estate could be sold only for.the last men
TONED sum, is their any change lin value?
Docs 1t not, on the other hand, remain of
precisely the same value? Moreover, it is
not true that property would depreciate in
It's saleable price in proportion as currency
appreciated in value to specie Our his
tory, during the past nine years, shows
this, but our argument is complete without
1t. a valuation upon deprecated cur
rency is not real valuation, and depres-
sion in price corresponding to the differ
ence between that currency and specie
would not, on return to specie payment,
AFFECT the valuation of ones property to the
amount of single cent, We will illustrate
in another way. Property is valued upon
the price it will bring in greenbacks or ma
tional bank notes We sell piece of real
estate-or, Tor that matter, personal prop
erty, for instance, dry goods, groceries,
boots and shoes, cattle, horses, sheep, or
anything else-and receive therefor one
thousand dollars. With this, so
called money, we intend to travel in Cana
da CT Europe. How much money have we
to use-a thousand dollars Not at all.
We have some eight hundred and fifty dol
lars. Gold is, always has been, and must
continue to be the measure of value If
return to specie payment should, which it
would not, depreciate the prices of all
kinds of property fifteen per cent, it would
not make cents difference in individual or
national wealth.
