In his youngstown speech, Judge Kxn11H
sAya:
Whan the drst grcenbacks iasusd tho farms Of
tho country wers nearly Ill mortguKed. The working
people had been robbed OF their honos by loag-en.
forced tliene4s knd low wagos.
Two Insertions moro destitute Of truth or
more reckless could not ba uttered. The
first groenbacks wore iHsucdi In 1862. At that
time ho saya TINT "nearly all F." the farms
were mortgagod. The mortgage indebted
ness on the farms Of tho United States hos
mover exceeded five or Ri1 hundred millions
Of dollars, which represents only or Q per
cont OF their cash value. Thoro has beon no
time within generation that one-tenM Of
tho farms In tho United States had cent OF
recorded mortgage incumbranee on them.
Mortgages are given on far1na for two
purposes. First, when man buys piece
Of land On time, he gives q mortgage
until tho deferred payments are
liquidated; secondly, when farmer borrows
some money 10 enable him to mako improves
ments on tho land, such as erecting dwell
Ing, barn, fences, oto. Very fow mortgages
aro given on farms for my other objects than
thoao named. and the number Of auch in
oumbrances, taking tho whole Union togeth-
or, rarely exceeds one farm In eight or ten.
When the money is borrowed to mako I'M
proyemonts, tho value Of tho land Ia enhanced
to the amount thus expended. The idea that
KELLEY is trying To convey is, that for want
Of currency imitation previous to the era Of
groenbaoks the farmers had 30 sunk down
into dobt and bankruptcy that they were
obliged, nearly all Of them, to mortgage their
farms in order 10 purchase the necessaries
Of life aud keep their families from nakea-
mesa and starvation. But this is not more
false than the assertion he mikes regarding
tie condition Of the townapeople, Of whom
be aaya "tho working people had been
robbed Of their homea by long.enforced idle
ness and low wages" Let any man old
enough to remembar think back to
the years 18o1~Go, and see II be
can recall tho scenes described by
KELLEY. Tho fact ia, those were years OF good
prices for products, fair rates for vages,
active demand for labor, aud general pros.
psrity, except so far as the War in 1861 de-
ranged industry aud business. It ia absurdly
false To affirm that tho working people We're
robbed Of their homes, or that the farms
were alt mortgaged. When demagoguss make
suoh assertions they sssm to think that those
who listen to them are fools and iguoramusea
who may be imposed upon with impunity.

"No TIME 70 BE HONEST"

Another Democratic statesman has put
himself upon tho record in the matter Of
rag currency and hard money. It Ia slr. ",

In the full report OF hlr. w. ID. KE1LE1'B

lowing statement giving the condition Of A.

world:

tbs Judge then proceeded to consider the cause Of
this depression and IT, sensAy. Hs found the cauAo
in tho RAPID contraction " tbs currency aud tho H.
tempt convert tho whols OF ctr inlebtedness into
old.bssrag bonds.
Mr. KELLEY's strong point in all his
speeches is the suppression Of tho truth and
tho bold assertion OF the contrary. Now let US
soc about this rapid contraction Of the cur
renoy. We give the amount Of currency in
1866 and in 1875. On the lst OF April. 1866,
and on tho lat Of May, 1876, thore were out
standing tho following amounts:
Natops Bank rotas, -. SAFE Bso ooo $780, o3a 1ss
Le91.tendef hotes........ +oo.SN'Voo 3i4too0,No
Total. $oas. .sss ooo $72i.63d, ,ses
Here, thon, In the amount Of currency out
standing there has boon au aotuM expansion
Of $40. .0o0, 900 since 1906, equal to nearly IL
psr cent increase. Under the National Bank
law, as 1t stood in 1906 aud until 1873, the
banks Ind to keep on hand reserve Of
greenbacks equal in city banks to 90 per cent.
and in country banks to 10 per cent, Of tho
circulation. This provision has since been
repealed, and now the resorvc is but ,fas per
csut Of this circulation. This haa released at
least $40, ,o00, GOO OF greanbacks, which havo
been added to the amount in circulation.
This has been another large expansion.
Thore has been also a largo addition
to the outstanding issue Of functional
currency-at least dfteon millions, 1t
| will ba seen, therefore, that there han been
no act Of ths Government sinca 1866 which
| has involved any contraction Of tho ourrcuoy
on shs contrary, The amount Of currency Of
Ill kinds outstanding and at liberty to be
used has been increased In various ways to
tie extent at least Of $140,oo0,0oo. This

The Dallas weekly herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1885, 1875-06-12

Dallas is growing, and that, too, very
rapidly. But in the hurry and confu-
sion, there seems to be one very i'm
portant branch of industry that is be-
ing neglected, and that is the lack of
interest in the erection of manufac-
tories. 1t is to manufactures, as well
ms the development of agricultural re-
sources contiguous to our city, that we
must depend for permanent and solid
prosperity. Several movements have
been inaugurated looking toward the
erection of manufactures, but have
been permitted, if we possibly except
the paper mill, to fall still-born. The
reporter has heard nothing recently of
the paper mill question, but he feels
confident that the managers will hard
ly let such an important enterprise,
and promising such lucrative dividends,
to go the way of other projected inn
provements. After the completion of
the paper mill, let us have grain
elevator, and then q cotton factory. If
there are any here who hesitate about
subscribing stock to cotton factory,
let them read the following extract
from the Wilmington IN. g. Star. 1t
states some facts that are certainly en-
couragiug to us here in Texas, where
we enjoy all the advantages of Georgia
in growing and manufacturing the
staple, and the almost unlimited yield
of our great state and the entire south
west, with little or no competition, rs
a market, for our cotton manufactures:
According to recent computations,
there are about 100000 cotton spindles
in operation in the southern states,
and ut least 125,000 of these are in
Georgia, or near there. Perhaps the
most remarkable example of success in
the spinning of cotton in the whole
world is found in the city of Augusta.
There are two mills there running 49,
900 spindles, with five hundred looms,
producing sheetings, yarns, drill and
0snaburgs. The company has steadily
paid dividends of twenty per cent, and
has accumulated surplus of about
$3.50, 1000 with which they are building
a new mill of 5000 spindles and two
hundred and fifty looms, and this en-
tire sum has been nude by the mills.
The Graniteville company, near Au-
gusta, runs over 10000 spiildles and
seven hundred looms, pays ten to
twelve per cent dividends, has hand
some surplus, and is building a new
mill.
The Langley mills, eight miles from
Augusta Whose principal stockhoid-
ers are enterprising New York me-
chants), have ten thousand spindles
and looms in proportions; capital, three
hundred thousand dollars, and during
the recent panic the stock sold in ALI
gusta for ten to twelve per cent pre-
MUM, although the mill has beenrun-
ming but eighteen months. Many
other similar companies are alluded to,
all of which realize large dividends,
and it is remarked that in no instance
has a substantial cotton manufacturing
enterprise with sufficient capital been
started In the cotton states without
paying handsomely from the begin
ming.

THE HON. SAMUEL. J.RANDALLA AND
THE NEXT SPEANERsElIP.

We were surprised to read the fol-
lowing clap-trap paragraph in the or
dinary sensible Austin Statesman :.
"Randall voted for the back salary
grab and while deal of nonsense has
been said and written about this vote
it is, nevertheless, true, that it consti-
tutes too much dead weight for one to
carry who made money by it. 1t Of
course signifies nothing if the man
voting for it lost money by his vote.
But Randall is II high tariff and back
salary grabbcr, and this settles his
hash for the speakership."
The Statesman admits that deal of
nonsense has been said and written
about the back pay business, and then
Immediately proceeds to add its contri-
button by concentrating as much nom
sense, in IA fen lines, rs most writers
could DO in whole column. 1t says
Randalps vote on the back salary "set-
tied his hash" Did our own Han.
cocks vote settle his hash ? On the
contrary, was he not reelected almost
without opposition? Will the States
man dare to call Hancock u "salary
grabber?n The truth is that the clamor
raised in the north about this matter,
was merely the bowling of the outs
against the ins, in both political par
ties. There is no question, that con-
stituted as Congress has been for the
past decade, even five Thousand
dollars per annum is far in excess of
the services of a majority of its MEM
bers. At the same time, there is no
surer way of belittling the position,
than by cutting down the pay, so that
none but the very rich or the very cor
rnlt can afford to surrender his time
lo the duties of national legislation.
Any citizen, worthy to represent his
state in the United States senate, or
his district in the lower house, is
worth all that Hancock and Randall
voted to give themselves.
As for "Sam Randall,n as he is affec-
tionately called by his democratic fell
low-members, we are sorry that SO un-
grateful fling as this should come
from a southern source; for of all the
democrats in congress, from the
northern states, not one Of them has
stood 50 boldly and squarely our friend.
There has not been measure of OPP
preston leveled at the south from the
reconstruction infamy" to the last
and crowning one of the attempted
force bill Of last session, that Randall
has not fought it with the persevering
pluck Of a bulldog. Southern demo-
Gratis, especially these who were in
Washington during the closing scenes
OF the last congress, viii not soon for
get the man who successfully led the
opposition TO the most Infamous meas
ure that was ever brought before Con-
gress-one which, had 1t becomea law,
would have paved The way for q per.

The First Gums.

The campaign for the next presi-
dency opened in Pennsylvania last
week with the declarations of the re-
publicans of that state, and the expecta-
ton which listened to hear the echa,
of the first gun in the centennial CAM
paign was somewhat confused by the
circumstance of the gun shooting off at
both ends. After praising the admin
isuration of Grant as about the perfec-
ton of an administration, and after
expressing such an appreciation of his
personal and public worth as denoted
him to he the very best man for Il
president, the convention virtually de-
clared that its language was entirely
Pickwickian by affirming its adhesion
to that unwritten law " of the repub-
lie which makes reference to the third
term folly u necessary sort of platform
wisdom.
Tomorrow the Ohio republicans are
to meet and declare themselves, and it
is understood that they will come out
even more squarely and emphatically
against the third term. That is to say,
instead of shooting their gun off at
both ends, they are going to plug up
the muzZle, so as to make certain of
the discharge from the breech. This
is, perhaps, an improvement on the
Pennsylvania plan; but we cannot
help wondering why able-bodied re-
publicans, in full possession of their
senses, should not adopt the further
improvement of firing off their cannon
boldly in the natural way, and leaving
the third term nonsense severely alone.
