BoNAMY PRICES LECTURE.

Let no one fail to carefully read and un.
derstand Prot. Bonamy Prices lecture
delivered in Steinway Hall, to the bust
ness men and bankers of New York.
Like Prof. Perry, and Prof. Seelye, whose
lectures have already been published in
these columns. Prot. Price is thinker
and distinguished teacher Of political,
economy, and is doing excellent service
the best service an economist can possibly
render in this country at this timely
knocking out of the heads of people the
crazy notion that paper money Is or can
be anything but tool to transfer goods
with Until people cease to cherish the
notion that distress can be alleviated by Is
SUNG fresh batch OF evidences OF
debt, this service will be neediul. How
delightful it would be if Mr. Price could be
got to deliver lecture some morning 10
the Senate Chamber, just after the Cha
plains prayer and just before debate on
a currency bill What an unusual hesita
ton Morton would exhibit, and how even
Logan might be induced to sit silent and
muse for a space. There is no hope of
that, but the constituents of Senators are
getting enlightened all the while, Mr..
Prices lecture is all the better for the ex.
preston Of the lively contempt every econ.
omist feels at legislation which ties up the
hands of people with a swiudling high
protective tariff and then ministers to their
distresscs by feeding them with an ire
deemabe currency.

THE ORIGIN AND PRO-

H.aCAN PARTY,

When the Wings and Democrats
alike favored slavery, aud were
nearly equal in ali respects, the
Democratic party, At that time. en- ,

OF the nation, and, In that respect,

aud had within It an equal number
OF Abolitionists. 1t had ruled the
nation twelve years, and was be-
coming more and more corrupt,
and it required . strong effort on
the part of the Wing party to gain
the ascendency and get to the helm
OF government. General Harrison
was selected a. the Wing candidate
for President Daring the time
that he was before the people as q
candidate, It is believed, that there
was greater excitement than ever
existed before in any other election
that took place In the nation. Dur.
Ing that extreme excitement some
abolitionists who were more zeal
Gus than wise, formed q third party
called the Liberty party, and /,
small affair it was, and tended {,

change. This was my last vote
with Wings. When I saw that the
two large parties persevered ia Op.
posing the abolitiOa Of slavery,
united with the Liberty party, tc
which l was not opposed except tO
its being formed 1t the wrong time
during years the Liberty party in
creased; but . number Of its mem.
bers saw clearly that we could mol
make IL Q success on y single issue.
We called . convention and added
free soil to our platform, and nomi.
mated Van buren, - our candidate
for President, and took the name OF
Free-aOII party. We advocated the
abolition of slavery and the giving
to every poor man = 1arm out OF
the government IAnds. This gave
us great strength compared with
the Liberty party. Some Of that
party were much opposed 10 our
movement. The l0adefs OF the
Wing party took sides with the fn-
gitiVe slave law, and that broke up
the party. Che. Anti-slaVery part OF it
merged into the Free-sOil party. The
pro slavery part, with some excep-
tiOus coalesed with the Democrats,
and the Anti-slAVery Democrats CO.
GIesced with the FreesotieFs. We
assumed the Republican name, and
became able to elect the President
or the nation, and Fremont was
nominated Is candidate for Presi-
dent, and obtained q majority of the
legal votes: but Buchanan was
elected by receiving fraudulent
votes. At the the next election for
President, lincoln was chosen on an
anti-slaVery platform. When the
slave holding states saw that they
could not extend slavery into the
territorissyT and could no longer
govern the nation, as they had done
in all time passed, they rebelled
against the government, and made
one OF the most terrible wars OF
modern times. They who made the
war were prOfessedly Democrats;
this caused the Democrats As body
to sympathize with them, and to be
dislOyal. This caused good and
loyal men to leave them. Thus that
party has been drained of nearly all
the good and loyal men that were
In II. Thns the Republican party Is

parties, with some bad ones. 1t lie
the most Democratic party that has
ever existed in the nation. They
have made our constitution the
most Democratic constitution in the
world. Aud II the Democratic
party was composed of Democrats,
they would all unite with the Re
publican party instead Of fighting
il. Democracy Is right, but It has
NO place in the party that has taken
its name. JOHN RANKIN.
