Well Stated.

Alluding to the late speech Of Judge
Kelley, at youngstown, Ohio, the
Cleveland Leader says:
"The rottenness Of his plan is the
rottenness of all imitation, the crime
Of callinga dime dollar and enabling
the debtor to pay his creditor less than
his due"
If it 10 "a crime to enable a debtor
to pay his creditor less than his dues" I"
is it not an equal or even greater
crime to force the debtor to pay his
creditor more than his duc,3, But this
is the inevitable effect of resumption
by contraction. Contraction depre-
ciates the prices Of all the commod-
tiles Of the debtor, thereby relatively
appreciatin. the value Of all credits.
The approach te, specie payments by
contraction is, therefore, according to
the theory of the Leader, crime
against the debtor, because it cempels
him to pay his creditor more than his
due. If there is, crime in imitation,
there is crime in contraction. The
. 81
middle course is therefore the only
course which is advocated by Judge
Kelley. :. He does not advise imitation
but suggests q plan whereby the. peo-
pie, debtors and creditors, shall be en-,
abled to regulate the volume of the
currency Of the country.
In = word, he would provide that
greenbacks and bends shall be e1-
the one for the other
Under this plan, if there is a scarcity
Of currency, the government will sup
ply the want by drawing in its bonds
and putting cut greenbacks. If there
is a plethora Of currency the govern
ment will draw in greenbacks and put
put bonds.-IDter-Oc Ocean.

The Great Issue Briefly Stated. j FEE
In his speech at Ironten on Saturday
General Ewing briefly and clearly
stated the issue between the two par
ties thus: ..G an cst4ooe -
"The Republicans say the msmcyed
claes shall determine the proper vol
ume of the currency; the Democracy
say the people shall deternine'it ID
"IHey say the business of'the pee-
ple shall conform to such quantity of
currency as the banks can. keep afOat
redeemable in gold aoe say the vols
ume of currency shall conform TO the
wants Of business. 40, gal eHiJ4-os
"Ihey say the peoples money shall
be issued by pet corporatioHs; see say
it shall be issued by the Republic. q
"7hey say the people shall pay in-.
tercst On the whole currency to the
banks; noe say the whole currency
shall be part of the debt bearing no
interest. Hf -..5
"Iheg say the interest bearing debt
shall be increa sed over four hundred
to buy up and destroy the
greeubacks and fractional currency:
ICE say il shall be reduced Hover three
millions. by substituting
greenbacks for National Bank notes."
1t is upon these issues that the poo
pie are called to pass at the election in
October. 1t does not seem as though
here could be any ground for doubt
Is to the result. 1t cannot be possible ]
That the people are ready to surrender.
The power to control the financial sf-f
fairs cf the country to the hands OF
The bank and bondhoiding Interest
and by thus doing largely increase the
burdens which are weighing so heavi-
y upon the producers of the land. 1

TIE Bankers Convention recently


THE Bankers Convention recently
held in Saratoga resolved in favor Of
immediate resumption of specie pay
ments. One would naturally suppose
from the air they assume that their
vaults were crammed with gold to re-
pletiOn-that they have more of the
precious metals than they well know
how to dispose Of Yet if their re-
ports are carefully examined twill be
discovered that there is not one in a
thousand of them that has one cent on
the hundred dollars of its issues in coin
in its vaults. If these institutions are so
very anxious to resume let them DO
SO, and not stand upon the order of
their doing it. The people nowhere
will object and besides, they ought
to be in a better condition to resume
than anybody else, for they have been
fer many years past receiving interest
in coin, on the entire amount of their
capital. But their whole object is to
induce the. Government to retire the
entire greenbsck currency and snrren-
der the financial control of the count
try to their kind care and keeping.

THE Radicals declare that there is
an abundance Of currency in the
country, that the Eastern Banks are
running over full of it. But they
assert that the kind of money now in
existence in the country is worthless
"lying," Z" dishonest" cabbage-leaf
currency" and that we must come back
to the bedrock, and have no money
except that which is convertible into
gold, of which there is less than $780,
100000 in the United States, while our
paper currency amounts to $T41,OOO,-
600. To reach specie standard there
must be large contraction in the pa
per money which would make money
more difficult for the people to obtain.
Now, the wise Radical financiers sx-
pect the people to berrew the. '1ying
promises" worth but so or IS cents of
their face, or par, value, when money
is abundant, and pay it in gold worth
100 cents on the dollar when the cur.
rency is contracted and difficult to
obtain. And yet they wonder that
this surplus money in the Eastern
banks is not borrowed by the people
and that the business of the country
does not revive. Was there ever a
mere stupendous schene for plunder-
ing the people than this attempt of
the Radicals to force specie ,resump-
ton for the interest of the meney
lords .........: f,......,... -,..t

;Th. Question of tho Day,

The financial problem is agitatine
the whole country. Industries are
crippled, taxes oppressive, and labor
so badly paid that it requires the
greatest economy in the workingman
to pay even for the common neccs a
rics of life. In q country ike ours
such u state of affairs should not tx ST.
Our resources are almest beyond limit

est, while the manufacturer is com

cln be tho cause We think with the
Rockville Republican that there; are
two great causes. The first is the too
rapid payment of our public debt, by
'lcvymg heavy tax ON labor and the

Imitation.

The monopoly journals are determin-
e that they willnot be forced to dis
cussion of real merits of the currency
question. They constantly refer to
the grcenback movement as an ..infaa.
ton movement, while in fact there. ia
ne imitation in it, and this term is only
use1 TO cast dast in the eyes Of the
people. The platform of the Ohio
Democrats is not an Imitation platform
and yet the cardinal currency reform
ideas there embedded have no other
name in the columns of the money
msngers papers. All that is said in
that platform with regard to the vol.
ume of The currency, is that it Hshall
be made aud kest equal to the dem ands
of trade" Will any specie or nation
al bank advocate put himself on record
as favoringa less volume than the de-
mands of trade require? If there. is
now, as they claim, too much money,
then this platform is Contraction
platform" ."-Indianapo,is Sun.

The Good Work Begun,

Our friends in Kent are doing good
work. On Friday evening last they
organized Democratic Club with a
large membership and they will give
good report of themselves on the
night of the secondTuesday ofOctober.
We were shown tho other day list of
twenty-three names to one of their
declarations of principles, more than
one half of whom have heretofore
voted the Republican ticket, bat they
declare that they can no longer sup
port the robber policy of that party.
The following is their Platform of
Principles: -
Our Government is founded solely
upon the consent of the people, and!its
powers are subject to their control.
Therefore, to stay the further en-
crOachment of capital upon labor, we
deem it our respective duties to organ
iZe ourselves under the Democratic
party, which promises reform, on the
following principles
l. The repeal of the law known as
the Sherman Finance Bill" estab
fishing Free Banking, the withdrawal
of Legal Tenders, the contraction of
the currency, and forcing the resump-
ton of specie payments.
2. That they will permanently re-
tire all the National Bank Currency,
and issue Legal Tenders in their stead,
always to be kept equal to the wants
of trade. -.
}. That the School Fund shall not
be controlled, or any part thereof, by
any sect, directly or indirectly. s..
4. That they promise reform in the
present system of taxation, under
which the entire industries of the coun-
try are overburdened, while the idle,
non-producing class of money-lenders,
national bankers, and bondholding ar
istocracy in Office, have exempted
themselves from all taxation whatever.
Furthermore, we demand at the
hands of the Democratic party to -es-
tablish law of interest not to exceed
three and sixty-five hundredths per
cent. per annum, to assist legitimate
business. l,i -a is5.
Furthermore, we demand, as a la
boring class, to be recognized by the
as wanting common
prosperity, SO that our children can be
educated. s-!3sa tssif -r.l
And we denounce the Republican
party for declaring to the people of the
United States that it is an element of
to have cheap labor.
We the undersigned voters, agree to !
support the Democratic party SO long |
as it carries into practice the above
principles. .oi sai ssh oIls"a4 g. |

Read 1t.

We print on our first page this week
the short speech of Governor Allen,
delivered at Newark, and ask fer it a
careful and candid perusal. If this is
one of the speeches by which, as the
Radical papers say, the Governor is
doing himself great harm and entirely
destroying his chances for reelection
it is difficult to understand why all the
journals of that party don't make
hastet to lay it before their readers.
But they don't.
