Republican Platform.

1-Rssosced, That we declare it a car
d;nal principle of the Republican faith
that the republic is il nation, one and in
admissible, within which the constitutional
rights of the States, and of the people to
local self government, must be faithfully
maintained.
Gold and silver are the only reliable
and permanent legal tender, and we favor
the earliest attainment of a currency con-
yertablc with coin, and thercf re advocate
gradual resumpt on of specie payments
by continuous and steady steps in that di-
rectiQn.

adjusted as to encourage home industry.
4-That the earnest efforts of the gov
eminent to collect revenue and punish
frauds have our unqualified approval.

lands to railroads and other corporations,

sdomaln for settlements under the home
stead laws, and for other bondtidc settlers.
Eve demand such Il revision of pat
ent laws as will relieve industry from the
oppression of monopolies in their admin

other nations by arbitration, instead Of
appealing to arms.

Just now We hear much about rag
money" Such ard such a man is a dan
gerous adviser, dishonest politician, a.
rascahy demagoguc, because he favors
"Rag Money" And what is this rag mon
ey? Is it the wildcat currency of 1858
and 1856, requiring detective and pack
OF hounds to find the bank of ssue9 No!
Is it tho "red-dog" and ''squirrel-tail''
issue of those old democratic days when
farmers hurried their wives off to town
to spend the funds received from a sale
of cattle, for fear the bank would break
before they were rid of the money? Moth
ing of that kind Is it the sort of money
which used to be worth ninety cents in
Illinois, sixty in Ohio, and nothing at al
in New York; local scrip, valuable
only to those in sight of the bank that is
sued it? Nothing of this kind. What,
then, is this rag money!" 1t is the cur
ency issued by the people, secured by
the entire property of the nation, good in
every part of the land. 1t is the currency
that everybody wants and nobody refuses.
1t is the currency that bears TN equal
value in Maine and California, and is
current throughout British North Amer
lea. 1t never fails. The bank never
breaks. For it men sell their influence,
barter their honor, compromise their in
tegrity. The minister gladly receives it,
the thief breaks through iron bars to OBJ
tt4in it, and the politicians and the news
papers that Genounce it strive early and
late to win it, never satisfied, never hav-
ing enough of it. This is rag money!
Who cares TO change it? Who wants to
fall back on the democratic money most
appropriately termed hard money? Hard
indeed il was Then VIC had legend
that bank bills were eXchangeable for
banks broke, and the unfortunate holder
was left in the lurch The idea was pc
etical simply, beautiful in theory, but
impossible in practice. Hard money,
gold and silver, cannot be employed to
any great extent in the commerce of the
country. Destroy our present currency,
and another species of bank bills will
arise to take its place. Ii is SO in France;
il is so in Germany; it is SO in all CONNER
eial countries of the earth. Rag money"
is necessity Of trade. 1t only rema ms
to determine what kind it shall be, good or
bad; the money which the whole people
indorse, or the money based upon indi-
vidual honesty and responsibility .-Iater

A Great Struggle in Maryland.

The political contest in Maryland has at
length fully revealed the real character of
the secret order to which the New York
Freeman's Journal recently referred. II
is almost entirely Democratic, and is a
movement for reform within the party
lines. That the Journal assumes it 10 be
anti-Catholic arises from the fact that It
stands by the public schools as they are,
and opposes the introduction of all secta-
rian influences into them. Butin addition
TO this il is well known that, in Baltimore
as in New York, the most efficient ele-
ment in aid Of the Ring frauds, ouirages
and despoiism, is found among the Cath
Ole population, especially its foreign por-
ton. While the Church itself is in no
wise responsible for this, the evil does
exist TO deplorable extent; and in order
10 antagonize it in force it is necessary to
organize and combine other powerful but
distinct elements.
The condition of Maryland politics is
very similar 10 that OF New York. The
city OF Baltimore is the stronghold of the
Democratic party. At the election Of 1872
General Grant carried every county in the
State except that one, but Baltimore over.
balanced the rest, secured the State. and
elected the Democratic State Ticket. The
Ring has unscrupulously used the re-
venues and patronage of the city, first to
control the State and second 10 demoralize

All the cash and bank securities in the
National Treasury have now been count
ed, there being found no discrepancy be-
tween the funds on hand and the book
accounts of the department. This result
is surprising to the new Treasurer, Mr..
New, as he does not see that General
Spinner took particularly extra precau-
tons to prevent his employees from acting
dishonesty, if they desired. Mr.. New
has adopted some new regulations for
the safety Of the public money, one of
which is the exclusion of all private par-
ties from the Treasury cash-rooms.

An Insult TO Germans.

Judging from the tone Of the Democrat
ic press of this State, all German cares
for is glass of whiskcy. With an as
surance which is certainly an insult to all
intelligent Germans, the Democratic press
of Iowa claim that the solid German vote
viii be cast for the Democratic party be-
cause that party has declared for free
whishcy. They point to the twelfth reso-
luton in their platform and declare that
that is the bait by which they expect 10
catch the German vote. They don't claim
that the Germans will vote with them be-
cause of tleir financial policy, or because
of any other principle cnunciated in their
platform, but because of the sole reason
that the platform has a plank which
declares IN favor of license law. Now
this is most outlandishly absurd. Again
VIC say it is an insult TO the Germans to
insinuatc that they will accept the twelfth
plank, and with their eyes shut wash
down the balance of the outrageous doc
trine proclaimed therein with glass OF
the Germans do not make Ealf SO much
fuss over this matter as do cheap Ameri-
can demagogues. No class of our citi-
zens drink less whisky than the Germans,
and it Is seldom that you see them intox:-
Gated. They ask for their beer and wine,
and that they now have, and we think
the democratic brethren will be badly de-
ceiyed in their calculations to lead the
German voters of Iowa into the Demo
cratic party by going ahead. reckoning
them on with flask filed with forty rod
whisky The Germans have their own
ideas of a financial policy; they believe
in the liberty that unfctterS the slave;
they believe in loyalty to the flag, as
they so faithfully demonstrated during
the war, and their Unborn honesty teaches
them to scorn democratic reputation,
and yet the penny a-liners of the demo
cratic press say that they will surrender
all these convictions of policy and right
and go to the bosom of the politically
damned, because, forsooth, that party
has declared in favor OF free whisky, it
having tried everything else, and finally
come to the conclusion that whisky is the
only thing it can stick to with any kind
of consistency. We do not believe that
any intelligent German can be fooled BY
such talk, and when democrat talks to
you about free whisky for the Germans,
rest assured that he is working harder for
his own copper lined stomach than he is
for anything else Burlington Hack Eye

As Il party they are VIGOROUSLY favor

it a point to pfopitiate the beer-lov-

candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
renegade Republican of the strait

THE NEW ORLEANS AND PACIFIC
RAILWAY.

1t was stated in the New Orleans
papers q few days since that Mr.. John
Burnside, wealthy planter well
known as the owner of several fine
places in this and adjoining parishes,
had subscribed $4,000 to the stock
of the New Orleans and Pacific Rail-
way Company. From information
which came to us incidentally, we feel
satisfied this report is incorrect, and
from our acquaintance with the views
of Mr.. Burnside upon the question of
railroads, we do not believe he could
be persuaded to make such heavy
investment in the proposed line. He
is in favor of a road to Texas, but
fails to perceive the wisdom Of New
Orleans capitalists, interested in the
commerce Of their city, beginning a
road at a little far away place like
Alexandria instead of starting it from
their own doors and running directly
to the desired point of terminus. 1t
is announced as the plan of the pro-
jectors ofthe N. o. & P. r. R., to COM
plete their road from Alexandria via
Natchitoches to Texas, then run q
line of steamers from New Orleans to
Alexandria in connection with the
road until arrangements can be made
to secure an all-rail route to the for
mer city. As this connecting link
will be about the most important por-
ton of the entire road, why not pro-
vide for it now ? It is not wise to
tempt the enterprise of St. Louis in
the manner this road will certainly
do. It would have been better to
have given Alexandria the go-by al
together if the benefit Of New Orleans
is the prime consideration, for nothing
is more probable than that St. Louis
will promptly establish a line Of swift
boats to tap the road at the Red River
terminus and thus deprive New Or
leans of all or nearly all the Northern
trade the railway would otherwise
have brought her.
