FROM

To the Editor of Stark County Democrat;
There is an article in the Repository and
Reptl5licaA nom one "Douds, in which
ehe attempts to have some fun at the ex-
pense Of the Missouri Legislature. If the
facts were fully known he has been the
victim Of a fine Joke The proprietor of
the Tennessee House is a man we'll skilled
in human nature, and it would be out of
the question for him to let such an oppor-
tuplty pass. l have been told that a GEN.
Hen1Gn visiting the Missouri Capital from
a n~eighboring State. Was comfortably seat
ed IN his room when some mischievous
roughs suddenly rushed in, a thick-necked
burly looking chap not even decorated with
homespun, and told him it was a number
Of tie Missouri Legislature, and it was
expected that he would return home and
write something about them. Such things
frequently occur Frequently more seri-
Gus things than this happen in the West.
The MontgomAryite he refers to is a digni-
fed gentleman of 20 years. True, he
means his homespun, but he is a highly
cultivated gentleman-having graduated
in one of the fret law schools of the coun-
try, likely before Goodies" had an exist
ence, and should he again visit Missouri
he would do well to cultivate this gentle
mans acquaintance, as he (Doodles) would
gain information, especially in regard to
Lord Chesterield's letters to his son.
If Goodies" could only have visited the
Capital some time ago, while the Radical
party had control of Missouri, no doubt
he could have produced a good essay on
the body found at our Capitol. But his
labor is lost now. Poor Goodies" feel
sorry for him when 1 think of the social
eUiI, for the Legislature did repeal the law.
Talking about thieves at the Capital, re-
minds me that the Radical party, while
they held power in Missouri, stole the Iron
Mountain Railroad, the Missouri Pacific,
and North Missouri Railroads, and the tax
payers now have to bear the buIden Of a
steal to the tune of about eighteen mil
lions Of dollars, simply IN railroad steals
Oar present Legislature have been trying
to make some of the railroads disgorge
their ill.gotten gains. but the Federal
Courts comes to the reliefof their pets, and
so we must bear this iniquity.
Goodies" was too late in making his
visit to Missouri. He could find no sym
pathy-Ihe day for carpet baggers was
over. and he saw no chance for his election
to the Legislature. He might still sue
coed in Louisiana if he has means enough
to get there, but judging from his article,
and the way he speaks of the "cost of tax
ing a sleeping car he may be short of
stamps" and in that event he would
likely fail to a paying position even in
Louisiana.
The two members referred to as being so
desirous to make a good record" were
Radical militia captains during the war,
and the muster-rolls show their signatures
made with an x. These are the men who
are in bad odor with those who know
them" If Goodies" fails to have the
stamps to go to Louisiana, he might ap-
ply to Anna Dickinson.

In this paper will be found an article
from the N. Y. Tribune on the late local
elections in Ohio. The writer evidently
thought the temperance question entered
more fully into the local contests than was
the fact. In very few towns was the is
sue made-ln fact, the leaders generally
on both sides had "no stomach" for the
fight in that shape. In some localities
where the contest took that shape-as in
Newark, it was not Democratic and Re-
publican, but a mere effort to break down
the Democratic majority. In Newark, for
example, the minority nominated Demo-
cratic temperance men, and the regular
Democrats barely saved themselves on
most Of the ticket.

Beloved Children, Health and apostolic
Benediction:
We have heard, beloved children. with
great Joy, not only that your State Union
had met in Convention, but that your sis
ter Unions also had taken counsel togeth-
er as to the most effectual means Of PIE
venting the evils that flow from intemper-
ance. Drunkenness, it Is certain, fosters
and stimulates every species of strife and
wickedness, as the inspired word teaches.
4" Wine is a luxurious thing, and drunken
ness ~riotous." Wherefore st. Augustine
writes. drunkenness is the mother of
crime, the root of vice, the wreck OF ehas-
tity, the spring of evil, the overthrow Of
reason, the ruin of the body, and a loath-
some disease of the soul"
By drunkenness, therefore, morality is
initiated, a neglect and contempt of divine
things is gradually s~uperindueed, and
when these pillars of social order are sha-
ken, public tranquility is jeopardized, the
family is reduced to want, and its mem
bers torn asunder. At last health gives
way for he who loves wine and feasting
will be poor and they who give themselves
to drinking will be consumed.
In your zeal, consequently, to abolish
this 6isreputable and promiscuous custom
you not only struggle against one vice,
but IN your efforts to stem the numherless
evils flowing from this source, you also
advance the interests of your religion, pro-
mote the welfare of your fellow-men, and
the prosperity of your country. Ana
should you, with Gods grace, prosecute
the movement to success, you will call
down manifold blessiDgson your own peo-
Pile for the same st. Augustine observes,
"Sobriety is the mother of virtue. = :
1t puts to flight sin and crime, shuns the
danger. is faithful to duty, and rules over
the home and the family with care and
moderation"
We exhort you, therefore, for the true
welfare of your country to vigorously urge
onward the total abstinence movement
under the guidance of the Church. Thus
will you, beyond all contradiction deserve
we'll of God. of the Church, and of your
fellow-nen. We most cordially wish you

ken thereof, and as a pledge Of our pater-
nal tenderness we most lovingly lmpart to

The Currency--De1usion as to Dis

The Currency--De1usions as to Dis
tributiOns.
Every day furnishes evidence that the
advocates of imitation are advocating a
theory they do not understand. in proc
of this we cite the following extract from
a Washington correspondence in the n. Y
Evening Post.
It is strange how many of the members
| of lighthouses think that issues of grern-
backs o. of national bank notes will add to
the volume Of currency in the South and
West. Why do not these representatives
of the people and of their interest lock at
facts? Here is one great fact they might
for a moment take into consideration as of
some little Importance. The amount of
deposits in the banks of the city of New
York on the 9Th day of December, 1873,
was $I82,0l5 300. On the 21st of March,
1874, the amount of deposits in the same
banks was $240. 991, 100-an increase of
$58, 975 800; and this increase has all ac-
crued since Congress began its present ses-
sion. The amount of legal tenders held
by the banks in the city of New York,
December 6, 1873, was $38. 274, 000. The
amount held bv the same banks March 81,
1874, $50, lS4. 400. Amount of increase
81, go, 400 This last fact Is conclusive
evidence that of the 100000 of the
A, 600, 900 reserve paid but a very large
portion of it is now in the banks of the
city of New York. Why will not the ram
pant inflationIsts look at these facts and
learn lessons of wisdom from them? Does
any sane man believe that if this large
surplus of currency now in the banks Of
the city of New York was wanted in the
South and West, where it could be lent
out at seven per cent that II would remain
in New York useless or lent at three or
four per cent?
In conversation a few evenings since
with a gentleman from Illinois who was
urging the necessity of initiation, when he
was told what the West wanted was more
capital or q market for their surplus agri-
cultural product, he said, in answer to the
fact of the large increase of deposits in New
York, that the western bankers lent their
funds to the banks there. When asked If
he believed the banks in the West would
send their money to New York, where they
received only three or four per cent. inter
est, If they could lend it at home for seven
per cent, he was speechless, seeing at once
that his own statement had knocked the
brains out of his financial theories.

An Exciting Day in Wall Street,

Heavy Decline in Values,
NEW York. April 2O.-This has been
an exciting day IN Wall street. 1t OPEN
ed with the failure of Messrs. CaPron and
Merriam, and the G.. @. and /. G.. pool.an
this wal followed by events which preeip-
itated a panic on the stock exchange. The
failures above noticed, were followed by
various rumors, all of which tended to dis
turb confidence and unsettle matters gen.
orally. An enormous pressure of sales on
the Stock Exchange made prices decline
from l to l0S per cent. G. G. & l. G. led
the downward movement, and declined
from 3OE to 20. Pacific Mail was next
the weakest stock and fell from 43 to 384;
then came Panama which dropped from
los l0l; Hannibal and st. Joseph was the
next and declined from 304 to 262 for
Common and from 80 to SO for preferred;
Wabash was also very weak and fell off
from 44a to All; Northwest and Sc. Paul
Common stocks were freely pressed for
sale in consequence of the prospect Of the
new railroad legislation west being put
into operation, materially reducing the
present rates of freight. The former de-
clined from 500 to 473; and the latter
from 4O1 to $50. Western Union drop
ped from TAI to ~; Lake Shore from 754
to 73l; New York Central from 9S to 96s;
Erie from 373 to SO; Rock Island from 99f
TO ga; Ohios from 295 to 264 and Union
FROM 345 to 80.
At one time during the afternoon there
was a rally of to q per cent, but at the
final close the market was heavy and low
ar again. on a sudden ann sharp advance /
in money from 4 per cent. currency to
pent. gold. and some vague rumors that
several banks were in trpuble.

| platform was proclaimed on the 9Th Of Au-
gust. The panic came about the middle OF
September, four weeks before the election.
The money pressure was much greater IN
thosefour weeks than it has been atany time
since, and yet no meeting of either party
IN Ohio during those four weeks, though
they were held daily, Sundays excepted,
passed a single resolution IN favor OF lnt1a-
ton, so far as I know or have heard. And
I can truly say that although l was on
the stump continually during that period
and mingling with the people in nearly
one-half of the State, l never heard one
man advocate the policy of imitation. But
when Congress met certain politicians for
reasons they best know raised the initiation
cry, and not only that but also a sectional
cry. They say that the East has more than
its share of the bank note currency, which
is true; and that the West and South have
not their proportionate share, which Is also
true; but when it was proposed IN the
Senate to rectify the distribution by taking
| $50,C00,000 of currency from the Eastern
States and giving them to the West and
| South the inhationists voted the PROPOSE
ton down, and instead of it passed a bill
giving but $40, 600. 600 to the West and
South. The TRUTHS that the imitation bill
which has passed the Senate and which l
suppose viii pass the House means ire
deemable paper money for all time to come;
or at least until another crash, far greater
than that of last year, shall dispel the de-
lusion that the country can be permanent
ly prosperous with such q currency. Had
l been seeking temporary popularity or
unmerited praise, and been willing to sac
rifce my integrity and seIf-respect for
such a purpose, l should have joined the
infationists. But 1 have never yet sought
popularity by advocating what l believed
to be wrong and, God helping me, / never
will. l value as much as any man ought
to do the good opinion of'my fellow-men,
but I will not seek it in a way that my
conscience and judgment condemn. 1t IS
very easy to make the unrefecting think
that their condition would be bettered by
an increase of the currency, as If them mere
printing or stamping of bits of paper could
make a people rich. And he who opposes
this delusion, which has prevailed one time
or another In every country IN Chrlsten-
dom, must expect to incur dislike while
the deluslon lasts; but here as elsewhere,
now as heretofore, he may safely rely on
time and experience for his vlndlcatlon.
The imitation that Is about to take place
may stimulate speculation for a time, and
produce an apparent but counterfeit pros
perity, but unless history is false the ulti-
mate result will be widespread ruin and
bankruptcy. And then perhaps the truth
may be recognized that was so well ex-
pressed by Webster, that of all the devil
ces invented by the wit of man to f~ertilize
the rich mans field with the sweat of the
poor mans brow, irredeemable paper
money Is the most effectual."
My respect for you, my friend, has in
dueed me to write so long a letter. Be-
leve me as ever, yours truly.
