der discussion in view of the approach
ing election in this State is whether the
country shall advance or recede to spe-
Gle payments. The popular decision
will assuredly have serious influence
upon political organizations, business
interests, and public policy. We are
mindful of y0nr supurb arguments in
the Senate on behalf of a sound cur
rency, and, as merchants aud business
men, we invite you TO come to Ohio and
present in public speeches your views
upon the cause at issue, which we es-
TEEN to be that Of national honor and
common honesty" Mr.. Schnrz's reply
was "I simply obey call of duty
in complying with your invitation. l
shall be ready to address the citizens of
Cincinnati on the evening of Monday,
Sept. 81"

The finance and currency plank in
the platform adopted by the conven-
tion of the Democrats of New York, on
Friday of last week, reads as follows:
Flrst-Gold and silver the only legal tender /;
no currency unconyertihle with com.
secohd-steady steps towards specie pay
ments no step backward.
Third-Honest payment for the public debt in
com the sacred preservation OF the public
FQarth-- Revenue reform; Federal taxation
Tor reS enue only no Government partnerships
Win projected Inon0p0lies
The currency part of the above plat
form is precisely the same as that last
gear adopted by the convention which
nominated Governor Tilden, and on
which he was elected by more than so,
900 majority. 1T is clear in language,
unequivOcal In purpose, and, in the
opinion OF every honest-minded busl-
ness man, caYers the best interests Of
the country. IT has an honest ring
says the PlilR. Ledger, and, we trust
will have the effect of silencing thos,
knaves who are incessantly croakiug o
the reputation of the public debt
There is no party in the country las W,
sincerely believe, that contemplates an!
such purpose, and Of the few indivi
duals favoring such an idea the ma
jority of them are found among thos'
who talk most of such thing. I'll
mass of voters in this country are hon
est men, favor an honest currency All
an honest adherence to plighted iaitl
When the test comes in Congress IL
imitation policy now discussed will
found with few supporters.
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1875-09-25

-Ex-Goyernor Dig writes upon the
currency question to Reyerdy johnson,
to say that he believes the Legal Ten
der act unconstitutional, that he always
believed 1t to be so, and that as long
ago as 1861, when the late Secretary
Chase consulted him in regard to meas.
nres to meet the expenses of the war,
he objected in the strongest terms
to such law. Mr.. Dix also agrees
with all thinking citizens that "the
contest between the advocates of re.
deemable and irI rIedeemable paper
money" is "the most important ISSUE
TO be tried by the people at the mex
election of President"

The balance sheet Of expenses of
the Post-o Office Department for the year
ending June 30, 1875, just prepared for
the Postmaster Generals annual report,
shows that, while the postal service was
largely increased, there was decrease
of the expenses of s4s,S66. This re-
suit has been accomplished by the cor
rectiop of abuses, chiefly the "crush-
ing out of straw bidders" and the let
ting of contract" west of the Missis-
sippi at reduced rates.

The report of business of the coun-
try, says the d. 7. Observer, is much
the same as last week. Money remains
plenty at low rates, and business is
conducted with great care and pru-
dence. The people are beginning TO
learn that economy and prudence are
their only salvation from ruin, and we
believe that things will settle down up
on an honest and frugal basis, which
will be healthful in the end to business
and to morals. Upon this topic Cover
nor Bedle, of New Jersey, in a recent
address truthfully said
There never was a time In the history OF our
country when there was more nee oi sturdy,
honest industry than now. We have been pas
sing through period marked by an over,anx-
| iOus desire for sudden riches, and disposition
| TO procure tue by questionable means The
public eye has been blinded, ana extravaganza,
| waste and fraud have stalked through the land.
| There ls, however, a better day coming. Toe
public begin 20 realize thai the true prosperity
OF people Is not IN its Inflated schemes OF
| speculation, however attractive they NAV be.
| but IN economy, and solid, useful omplOyments
and Industries. II is a great evil 60 haste to be
| rich. and when that spirit overtakes people.
| 1t can only be corrected by stagnatiOn IN uade
and financial disaster. The crisis through which
| we have been, and are still passing, is one that
has awakened the fears of the prudent and
| shaken pubic confidence in most classes of
| business. Trade Is sensitive and Is affected by
the tOliies, wees or virtues OF the people, ms It
also is DY the Ors or wisdom OF government
The present difficulty has arisen largely irom
the former, ana the people have the power IN
their own hands greatly to correct it, IXtrav

The Liberal Reform State Conven-
ton of New York met at Albany We'd
nosday, abont 800 delegates being
present. General John Cochrane called
the Convention to order and was chosen
as its permanent President. A Plat
form was adopted declaring that there
can be no sound currency but coin, or
paper convertible into coin on demand,
and that without speedy return to
specie basis national disaster
threatens )" favoring civil service re-
form deprecatng foIcible interference
with State Rights condemning the ma
tional administration for illegal and OPP
pressive acts, retention of corrupt men
in office, unstable financial policy,
inflatation of The currency, extravagant
expenditures and general disregard of
public opinion /; commenting Governor
Tilden's action, against the canal ring,
and recommending the Independent
voters to support those candidates al
ready nominated Of whom they most
approve, and who will cooperate with
Governor Tildcn in the work of admin
istrative reform. The convention then
adjourned sine die. Resol utions di-
rectly endorsing the Democratic plat
form and ticket were twice ofeled in
the Convention, but not acted upon.

The Beecher case threatens the
public again. Mr.. Beecher procured
the indictment of Mr.. Moulton for pre-.

that the snit be relinquished. Mr..
Beecher concurs, and gives his consent
TO the withdrawal of the suit. Mr..
Moulton protests against the withdraw
al and demands that the trial proceed.

The Massachusetts Democratic
State Convention met Wednesday, in
Worcester. Edward Avery was elected
permanent President. The platform,
after some opposition to the financial
plank by one Of the delegates, who was
answered by several others, was a
dopted unanimously. 1t declares, on
behalf of the Democrats and Liberals
of the State, for the acceptance of the
recent amendments to the Federal Con-
stitution opposes any further Imitation
of the currency; demands a speedy re-
turn to specie payments; arraigns the
Republican party for corruption and
disregard Of constitutional obligations
demands reduction in the State ex.
penditures and in taxation, and such
legislation as will secure to both capi.
tai and labor fair play and equal
rights )" congratulates the people on
the repeal of the odius prohbltory law,
and favor such notifications of the
present liquor law as experience may
suggest oppose any constitutional
amendment which will tend to limit thu
election of public officers by the people
and concludes by welcoming the as
surance that the policy of reconciliation
advocated by the Democratic and Ii
beral Republican parties in 1872 will
be lnaugurated by the administration t
be placed in power in 1876"

It is fortunate for Cincinnati that tho Gov"
