WE present to our readers this
morning a speech made at Maryville
last Monday, by Col. Jas. Z. Bailey,
of GAINESVILLE. 1t is lengthy, but it
will repay perusal. We do not give
our unqualified endorsement, for we
think his position on the tariff ques.
ton is erroneous. We do not believe
that Free Trade would prove a
panacea for our ills. On the contrary,
we think that the adoption of such a
policy would prove public calamity.
But his speech shows thought in the
right direction. His statistics con.
tain world Of meaning. If properly
studied and practiced upon as the
able speaker intended, they will i'm.
part lessons Of incalculable value.
We trust no one Of our readers will
be deferred from reading the speech
on account Of its length. 1t will re-
pay perusal. Especially would we
commend to young men his views on
the labor question. Let them read
the speech carefully. 1t will learn
them more than a whole car load OF
the miserable light literature of the
/ day.

WE THOUGHT last winter that the
business of the country needed more
money, and we, therefore, did all we
could in the Senate to secure a Free
Banking Bill. Now we can have as
many National Banks as we want and
we are content. The difference be.
tween the editor of the CHRONICLE
and the editor of the Press and Herald
is that we wanted money backed by
good security and such rs people
would accept in good faith, while he
now demands rag money such as
would demoralize the business of the
country and depreciate all values.
The best business men of the country
sustain our policy of getting more
money by the Free Banking Bill while
they denounce the Press and Herald S

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS IN
OHIO.


The success of the Democratic
party in Ohio means something more
than an ordinary victory of one politi.
cal party over another. 1.-THE canvass
on the part of Democracy was being
managed by the better elements OF
the party, victory would have an
entirely different significance. But
this is not true. Senator Thurman
has been snubbed, and evidently has
no heart to work with the party with
which he has heretofore acted. The
leading Democratic organ in the
State, the Enquirer, boasts that VIM.
S. Groesbeck has mot been invited to
take part in the canvass. Ex-senator
Pugh has intimated that he is some.
thing more than Indifferent to the
success Of the party, and the party
has given HIM the cold shoulder.
Judges Spalding and Ranney were
run over rough-shod at the State Con-
vention, and they have not re-
covered. All the leaders who have
any credit for ability, except, perhaps,
Mr.. Pendleton, have virtually retired
from the canvass. Gov. Allen is q
well-meaning man. and his intentions
may be good, but he is in his dotage,
and his inordinate vanity can be used
by the corrupt men in his party for the
accomplishment of their base ends
But he is not the prominent man of
the canvass. Sam. Carey is making
more speeches, and is receiving more
invitations to speak, than any other
two men in his party. He is at the
head of what is called the Democratic
party in Ohio.
Of course, decent, respectable men
will not suffer themselves led by such
man. He will collect about him the
ignorant, the thrlftless, and the vicious
He has no influence except with the
"rag-tag and bob-tail" of creation,
who work only when they are COM
PEELED, read nothing, learn nothing,
and want to learn nothing. He is
Grand Generalissimo of the "bum-
mers," and it is to them that he de-
lights to make his frothy speeches,
full of such stuff as intelligent men
will not listen to. He is a political
mountebark, and by his silly gibber-
ish tries to stir up one class
against another. He has no charac-
ter to lose from riot and bloodshed,
hence he would stir up such scenes, if
he could make votes by it. 1t is such
leaders as Carey, H. Clay Dean, the
Cincinnati Enquirer, ct ii omae genus
that gives the canvass its chief sig
nificance. 1t is this feature that lends
an interest to the contest, something
more than a mere local or partisan
interest.

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THE
CONTRACT.

The Nashville Bonner denies that
there ever was a contract between the
Government and those who bought
Government bonds, that these bonds
should be paid in gold. We know
very well that this has been the posi-
ton taken by those who would break
down our public credit from the be-
ginning. The contract was not an
express one but it was implied and
clearly understood that way by
ninety-nine out of every one hundred
men who loaned their capital to the
Government to carry on the war. 1t
could not have been otherwise. Who
believes that foreign capitalists would
have invested their money in bonds,
the interest and principal of which
was payable in greenbacks ?
General Grant was elected Presi-
dent of the United States the first
time by an overwhelming majority,
on pledge to do everything honor
able to sustain the public credit.
One of the first acts of a Re
publican Congress after his inau-
guration was to pass q resolution
to the effect that our bonds, principal
and interest, should be paid in gold
This action has been repeatedly en-
dorsed by the people, and no more
solemn or binding contract has ever
been entered into than this one be-
tween the Government and its bond
holders. Since then, a majority of
the bonds have no doubt changed
hands, and the present holders re.
ceived them with the express under
standing that they are payable in
gold. The Government has kept its
part of the contract thus far, and has
paid the interest in gold.
1t is unnecessary for us now to
detail the circumstances under which
these bonds were originally issued.
Every well informed man knows that
it was an accommodation to the Gov
eminent at that time to get the money,
and no amount of abuse bestowed on
the "bloated bondholders' will change
this fact. The contract, whether ex.
press or implied, was understood but
one way by those who desired to sus.
tain our public credit, and that was
that the principal and interest of the
bonds was payable in coin.
The Banner quotes from the editor
of this paper to show that he was op.
posed to contraction" and in favor
Of "wise and moderate expansion
On this we remain unchanged. But
the majority of Congress has estab
lished free banking as the best meth
Cd Of regulating the amount Of cur
rency, and under this law the value
Of currency has increased and may b.
still farther increased if the business
interests Of the country demand it
The business Of the country has beer
advanced and is being adjusted t,
this plan, and if demagogues will lie
this country alone, we will soon re
cover from the trouble we have expe
rienced within the past two years, an,
then will soon follow an era of pros
perity. But is such fellows as tn
leaders Of the Ohio Democracy ar
allowed to tinker with our publ
credit, the country will be involve,
in irretrievable bankruptcy and dis
graced by reputation.

MISSISSIPPPS BURTHEN.
Facts and Figures for the Taxpayers
Showing the Increase of Taxes and
Cost Of the State Government.

The Legislature proceeds slowly with
its reform work while the yoke weighs
heavier and heavier on the necks Of the
over-burdened taxpayers.
Nearly a month of the session is gone !;
from $50, 900 to s75, 800 have been ex-
pended, but very little in the way
of substantial relief has been afforded.
Let us again refresh the memories of
those who are entrusted with the solemn
duty of curtailing expenditures, by pre-
.sentation of facts and figures showing the
former rate of taxation and the cost of
former administrations, and contrasting
them with the expenses of the present
regime. These exhibitions of what
has been done in the past, will serve
as finger boards for the guidance of Leg
islators in the present and in the future
and the comparative statements viii
speak in thunder tones of the wrong,
which the people have endured at the
hands of those who since the era of re
construction, have had control of theil
State affairs.
The figures are from official sources
and their correctness will not be ques
toned:
