MONEY OR No MONEY, that's the ques-
ton. The Democrats are committed,
by their pledges If they obtain power, TO
expand the currency so as to revive the
business Of the country, which is now
languishing for the want of it. Farmers
have a good crop of wheat, but TO save
themselves from loss in raising ii and
paying the prices the present policy, with
tariff included, compelled them to, they
ought to be able to sell il for at least
$l.50 per bushel, and would have obtain
ed that but for Grants veto, and the fix
ed policy ofthe Republican party, which
has reduced the price from rs cents TO
81. while the interest upon the bonds of
the bond-holder, and rich Eastern specu-
lator remains the same. The Democrats
in power would remedy this evil, while
Grant and his friends will not permit
the Republicans TO do any thing which
will reduce the clear profits of the bond
holders. The bond-holdcrs should be
paid just according to contract, but until
they are paid, the value of the currency
they are paid in should not be enhanced
TO the detriment Of the laboring classes.
II Is time enough to arrange for specie
payment. when the bulk Of the public
debt is paid, and by that time the i'm
provement of the country will bring it
about without any great shock to any
interest.

MURDER.-We are informed Of a most
brutal murder which is said TO have oc-
Cured at West Baden, Orange county, on
Tuesday night. a Young boy, about l6
years old, went To one of the Springs
between 9 and 10 o'clock, when two
men = the barber Of the hotel, aud hack
driver,-who had two females at the
Spring, knocked him down, aud beat
him with a club. 20 that lie died in a short
time. The noise attracted others to the
scene, and when the extent OF the crime
was realized, the two murdercrs had
escaped. Great excitement prevailed.
and it was thought If the parties were
caught they would be hung on the spot.
The stage driver was afterwards arrest
ed, and great numbers are in quest OF
the barber. One of the pursuers was Al
Jasper "Wednesday morning, and gave
these particulars.

FINANCES AND THF DEMOCRATIC Plat
PORN. = One Henry II. Bcadle, of Sey-
mour. is making fool of himself and
trying TO gain little cheap notoriety by
writing to the Cincinnati Enquirer and
Indianapolis Sentinel. trying to explain
away the plain meaning of the financial
plank in the Democratic State platform.
If there had been any necessity for it the
expansionists could have had il more
explicit and double as strong in favor of
"expgrsion of the currency to meet the
wsnts of the masses of the people, by n
vote of three fourtbs of the convention
at Indianapolis, but desiring TO preserve
harmony thcy were willing IL should be
5n the present shape, so as TO let the con-
tractionists downs easy as possible, that
their fall might not utterly annihilate
them, and we think il is about time those
who think as he seems 10, had better
"dry up" IL they are DESTROYS of the sue
cess of the Democratic ticket this fall.
for the much needed doctrine of prop
or expansion OF the currency is going to
determine thousands of votes in favor of
the men who can be relied upon TO do all
in their power TO secure it.

met by invitation of Mr.. and Mrs. III. a.
Holthaus, Mt their ice cream room on
Wednesday night. to enjoy an ice cream
supper. Whole families were invited.
and as the parents gathered IN with their
troops of happy faced, smiling childrea,
il presented tableaux worth looking in
upon, and suggested a wonder that such
parties were not oftener got up. to make
the children happy, while the parents
still had watchful eye over them And
when the frosty, glittcring cream was
dished out, how eagerly the little ones
went for it, land the old ones, too, for
that matter,) and gave sincere vote OF
thanks to the generous hostess and host
for their thoughtfulness. The cream
was excellent, cakes nice, and company
splendid. When another such party
occurs, may we be there TO see.

all at once the startling truth flashes upon
him. This hard faced, frm-mouthed man.
who sits before him is the Identical oily
tongued agent who sold him that machine
.8ix months ago. The purchaser states his
business and asks for further time in which
to pay his note, truthfully stating to the
Agent that his crops have been light has
had sickness in his family, and the price Of
wheat is far below living rates, and that it
would be u great. accommodation to him to
have the lime extended. The Agent tells
him it is impossible. The manufacturers
east are hard up, and are determined to
collect their notes. The victim sees at once
that he mustpay or those notes with sheriff,
lawyer, and justices ices attached would
completely ruin him the only way to ex-
tricate himself from this financial quagmire
is to dispose OF stock oracrops at q great
sacrifice. or what is far worse put u mort

take years Of toll and priyation to pay Of.

repeatedly caught iii this trap, and my con-
yiction is, that in nine eases out Of every
ten, the primary cause of the farmers in

The first business before the Senate on

These notes had been given ior timber sold

tosCharles McIhatt.. and Others payable TO
the State Treasurer. Tie Treasurer says
the late Auditor spoke 10 him about collect
ing these notes, but e declined:to have ANY
thing to do with them. but upon consultA-
tion with the Governor, lle4 saw some Of the
parties personally on the subjec, and wrote
to others. Some OF them paid the interest,
and . portion Of them . part Of the princi-
pal, while all acknowledged the debt just
and promised - pay in full At some time.
The list unpaid now in the, Office belonging
