CURRENCY AND PROTECTIONlTHE CARD
OF MEssRs WHARTON, LEA, AND SELL

The card OF Messrs Wharton, Lea, and Sell
ers, OF Philadelpha, in particular reference to
Judge kelley's 1865 bond scheme, is an oppor-
tune deliyerance. Mr.. Wharton, who has lust
appeared in the Atlantic Monthly AS the adyo-
cate, (and very able one,) of Protection to
Home Industry, and Mr.. Sellers, who is associs-
ted with some OF the most extensive industrial
establishments in the country speak with AL
thority, and will be heard with respect, as rep
resenting the opinions Of Phiiadelphia's great
manufacturing interests. 1t may have been sup
posed, and no d)ubt was supposed, that those
VINO form the compact aud earnest school OF
Philadelphia economists necessarily followed the
lead OF Mr.. Carey no. only rs to the industrial
policy OF protective import duties, but az to cur
rency and finance. Because they have conceded
with Mr.. Carey and Judge Kelley ON the one
question, the idea hss bsen that they therefore
adopted the other also. This notion, very mis-
cMeVets IN its consequences il now dispelled,
The expressions OF tho gentlemen named are
distinct and precise in favor OF that kind Of
money whose value has been proved and tried.
and in opposition to all fantastic schemes of
paper currency, in the nature OF "unpayable
promises to pay" They look forward to the
necessary return OF the country's business to
the specie basis, and declare that all schemes to
postpone it will bring injury and not relief.
Such opinions from men 30 deeply interested in
the revival Of business and the substantial re-
construction OF general prosperity, as William
Sellers, must have weight and influence. We
have not doubt that he takes the sound and
sensible view

THE OHIO DEMOCRACY LEADING ON TO
REPUTATION.

Though Governor Allen is being led in the
Ohio craze by that notorious fraud Sam Cary, lie
IL nevertheless to be regarded ~ the head and
front OF the present imitation movement. It
is therefore Of interest to observe some Of his
expressions. In a conversation with a letter.
writer for the New York Trila,,,e he had the
holiness to affirm that the payment Of gold
bonds in greenbacks would ouly be repu-
diAtion in 60 far ~ it would be
movingto reconsider previous act of Congress-,
Our Congress, according to Mr.. Alton, says the
nations debt shall be paid in gold very we'll,
"a subsequent Congress has 3 right to undo
that work and make other arrangements,
"Would you call such reputation All act of
bad faith ~ he is asked,-Snd he replies.
There was no good faith in the passage by
Congress Of the act Of 1869 and 20 it would not
be bad faith to repeal it." Not word, it will be
noticed, OF the people. WHO bought those bonds
on good faith, or Of the thousands who hold
them in good faith, as their only means OF in
come, aud who would be injured while the good
fame Of the Republic would be shipwrecked il
they should be repudiated-as they certainly will
be, virtually if not nominslly, il the Democrats
attain power with Governor Allen at their head,
Now we say that Governor Aliens position,
monstrous as 1t may seem, is an entirely logical
one. 1t is wicked and unpstriotic but there
is no escape from it if we depart from the only
sure foundation,-a determination to resume
specie payments and to honor the promises Of
the nation to the last fsrthing and in the mall
ner originally agreed upon. To claim that the
act of go was passed in bad faith and that there.

THE NEED OF THOROUGH DISCUSSION

Tho Ohio correspondent of the Now York
Times dwells on the Importance and value, in
the canvass Of that State, Of plain talk on tue
financial question, going down to the bottom Of
things, and arguing squsrely the unsnswerable
facts in favor of.hard molfey. In the Mahonng
iron region, the inflauionists had done great
bowling, and some of the Republican speakers,
instead OF meeting them boldly and attacking
them with vigor, had been touching the money
issuss lightly and fearfuy" and rather trying
to show narrow way open by which intlationists
could vote for Hayes than to point out the
broad road through the iimsy arguments of
Sam Carey. This did no good.
But General Woodford and Governor Hayes,
coming 1t different times, changed the style of
the canvass. They entered upon an earnest
encouragement Of the question, seeking out
ail its points and evading none, sitting the whole
subject thoroughly and making the attack, in
stead OF merely attempting to defend. This, in
fortnight has changed the whole aspect OF
affairs in that section, and the Republicans are
in good spirits, sure that they will now carry tile
votes of hundreds who were wsvering or opposed
to them, little while ago. This improving oon-
ditson OF things illustrates the value OF discus
sion. In all parts of tile State where there las
been the most discussion there are the fewest
inhationists.
There il hint, in this for our brethren in
Pennsylvania. Some Of them are treating tho
money question very gingerly indeed. Plainly
they are afraid. There are said to be a great
many lumber-men up on the Susquehanpa's
branches who want imitation, because they say pee
pie would then build houses whether they were
needed or not, and in Western Pennsylvania,
IN the oil regions and elsewhere, there are others
who want something to be done that will puff up
their collapsed ventures. Fearing these clsssss,
the Republican orators and newspapers are hest
tating to go to the bottom of the currency auos-
ton. 1t i. wrong policy. There is time, now
to make good discussion OF it before Noyem.
Der, and if Allen is defeated, PENNSYLVANIA can
bs carried for honest money, after fair, tho.
rough discussion, without doubt. II on the
other hand, the Republicans hold their breath in
this weak way, and Allen should be elected,
(Which result they encourage, by not taking
strong and firm ground to strengthen Hayes,)
the Erie platform inistionists will whirl them
into such a slough of defeat that they won't
know what has struck them.

THE DEMOCRATS OF DELAWARE COUNTY IN A Mud
DLE-THEY DO Nor ENDORSE THE ERIE FLAT,
FORM.
The Democrats Of Delaware county attempted
to hold mass meeting on Thursday, after nom
mating county ticket, but the financial plank
OF the Erie Convention was too much for the
farmers Of Delaware county to swallow, and the
diversity of opinion caused much confusion
Mr. John b. Rhodes, who w.ts II delegate to the
convention at Erie, earnestly opposed the ratiti-
cation of the suft-noney plank. lie EXPRESSED
the hope that the Democrats Of Delaware county
would not thus stultify themselves and violate
the traditions Of their party. Tho greenback
plank was the objectionable feature and he
could not and would not accept it, Platforms
we're Of no use any how, they were never carried
out. Let us go home, vote the whole ticker and
let the Erie platform go to thunder.
Maurice James said Mr.. Rhodes was in the Mi
norlty IN the Erie Convention, aud was defeat

anIel Pratt also spoke in Condemnation Of the
platform Geo. W. Weaver said the platform of

Local option In MARYLAND.

The Denton Journal says that, despite reports
OF beneficial effects Of the local option law. feW
towns on the peninsula have suffered more from
drunkenness during the past twelve months than
Denton, and that scenes OF the most wretched,
disgraceful and alarming drunkenness are fre,
quent.
Commenting on the above the Denton Union
says There mover has been any special lecis-
lation by our State Legislature that has been
more beneficial to this community than LEGAL
Option, and with the exception OF one case of
drunkenness, and this case of mental deranpe.
ment aggravated by the too free use of stimu.
lants, is about the only case that has created
even ripple on the surface of society since the
law won't into effect. The statement that scenes
of 'disgraceful drunkenness fare frequent"
is a base libel on the good name add character
OF our citizens, except 30 far as relates to this
one isolated case referred to. The most of onr
citizens are sober, moral and upright, and con-
duct themselves in All orderly aud peaceful man
ner, and since the sale OF ardent spirits has been
prohibited we have but very few cases of drunk
enness-not one fourth as much III before the
operation OF the law.

THE WAY TO RESUMPTION OPEN,

Tie most practical question in connection with
the finance discussion relates to the process Of
resumption provided by the law now i'll force.
This fixes the date whom specie shall be paid ON
demand, three years and a quarter hence, and
provides the means wherewith the Governments
financial Secretary shall prepare himself to be-
gin such payment at the time named The law
is ample for the purpose. and in the Judgment
OF those well qualified to speak, it will certainly
accomplish the desired result, if faithfully car
ried out, as, most assuredly, it will be by 80
faithful an officer AZ Secretary Bristow.
The brief letter which senator Sherman writes
us from the midst Of the Ohio campaign repeats
views upon those points which he has heretofore
expressed in his speeches. and adds, moreover,
his conviction that when it is seen by the COM
merciAl and monetary world that the Secretary
has the power in his hands to prepare the Treas
ury for resumption, and that he means to use it,
everything will be gradually and silently adjust
cd TO the resumption standard, with a. little
shock or injury to business as now, when, in a
weeks time, gold ilucsustes two, three and four
per cent. That the process may not be entirely
pleasant is possible, though its difficulties are
greatly exaggerated, and it can certainly be no
