HENDRICKS LITTLE PLAN.
The 1incs Of Democratic - statesmen now
adays aro cast in hartl rlAccs They havo to
spcak In Ohio md dodge the Ohio issue. This
Is hard Cor. 1IESpa1cKs has evidently found
it Co. 1Ie tried to ride two horses at once III
his speech Mt Zanesvillo last evening, Int
this performance 10 even moro difficult in tho
political than tho public circus. Mr. lIEs-
pn1cKs bashfully ndmita tf.at lie believes gold
md silver to be !" the real standard OF values,
universal and permanent" But he at once
smooshs tho wrinkled front of tho Ohio
brethren by saying that the Inflated volume
OF deprecated paper must md shall not bo
reduced This is much rs it man should
gay "It is i1npcratively necessary that I
should 60 North" and should then tako
the frat train East. 1Ir. HEspalcKa,
however, does not sce the matter i'll that
light. 1Ic has n wondrons 1aan by which ho
il to get North by going East. And ho lias
propoundcd this plan to the nation. It is
not new. It is not Intelligent. 1t is not
practicable. It corresponds, however, pretty
cxactly to Mr.. HgsDn1cEs' stasesmauship,
which has never been suspected of originality,
or intelligence, or practfcableness. Tho In
diana Governor hns found somewhere in his
memory tho phrase "Grow up to specie pay-
tnents." This ho itcrates md reiteratea to
tho atlmiring rsstics of GAINESVILLE. Wo
might unkindly mention tho fact TINT, in tho
five years during which this has been Tried,
tho paper dollar has grown up from valuo
OF 90 ccnts in 1870 to one OF B8 or 81
in 1876. We presume this must DO
growth, because HENpa1cKs implies this. If
we dared to differ from such Nh eminent
statesman, VIC should sny 1t was decay, not
growth, and that We have been decaying
away from specie payment, instead Of grow
ing mp to it. but it il very bad for q fact to
interfere with Mr. HENDRICKS. The fact n1-
ways perishes, of course. His speeches have
way Of denying, and destroying, and loftily
ignoring facta that should warn everything
Of the sort to keep ont Of tho Governors
woy. Everything Of tho sort saemB to havo
kept carefully out Of his Zanesyillo speech.
Flo deigns, however, to 60 into tho details Of
his plan Of resumption. There aro threc
divisions Of it. First, production OF export
ablo commodities must ho encouraged +; sec
ond, importation must 1,o checked; third,
| The nationnl debt must 10 trnnH-
ferred from abroad 10 home. How
is production Of exportablo commodities to
be encouraged? Wo aro now producing aH
much as we have foreign market for, md
we not infrequenuy produce moro than VIC
can sell abroad at profit. Alr. HENDRICKS
| does not propose to raise m extra peck OF
corn himself, or weave an additional yard Of
cloth hinself, or forge bar Of iron himself.
He wants sombody else to do it, oblivlous Of
| the fact that tho corn md cloth md iron
produced arc already fully equhl to tho de-
mand. There is only ono way in whicl,
| production can be increased. That in BY
cutting down tho tariff, aud 80 increasing
the importa. This will increase tho European,
demand for our oxportab1o products, opon a
new market to them, and 70 stimulate pro-
duotion. But the Indiana states-
man does not advocate this plan.
lie demands that imports should
not only not bo increased, but should actual
| " be diminished Tho first and second
branches Of his plan are 1ulkenny cats, which
tlevour each other. Each absolutely mega.
