it to advance their own interests.
These same men still control it, and
by their management it has become
an instrument for evil rather than
good.
Can their power over it be bro
ken? Can it be rescued from their
grasp ? Democrats tell us that it
can, but for the past ten years all
efforts in this direction have failed
signally, except in single instance
IN New York State alone and even
there the power of the ring seems to
be only temporarily overcome. They
will be likely to recover their ST.
premacy again this year. 1t is
hardly sensible, then, for US to be-
leve that we can rescue that party
from the corruptionists who govern
it ; and, hence, we have no reason
to believe that we can make it avail
able as an instrument in working
out reforms: It will be just as easy
to accomplish what we desire
through the Republican party, by
changing its leadership into the
hands Of honest men, and that is
equally impossible.
Independent action may not en-
able us to elect nominees of our own
right away, but still our votes will
not be thrown away. If we are de-
termined in our refusal to coalesce
with the other parties, they will seek
to prevent their own disintegration
and our success by putting their best
men in: nomination and so conduct
ing public affairs as to give less
room for complaint, and thus we
may be indirectly successful in par
TALLY accomplishing what we seek
while polling only a meagre minor
lty of the votes. Let us persevere
in independent action, with the as
surance that it is the: best course we
can possibly pursue.

trust them to apply these remedies
to practice then? Are not those
minds that found out the cures for
the evils competent to apply them?
Or, will it be better to call in, for
this purpose. a leech who under

nor the remedy? And remember,
too, that he who is thus called upon
to heal the body polite is personally
advantaged by keeping it in an un-
healthy condition, for if it is made

The Financial Question.

The following a-s the resolutions
which excited the heated discussion at
Owatonna, and for which the 9Th, 9th,
and 10th of the platform were substi-
tuted
so. That Federal trea sury notes green
backs)--the amount to be regulated by the
wants OF trade-should constitute the law

in payment Of all debts, be receivable by
the government at par in, payment Of all
duties, taxes, and other debts, aud be con :.
vertible at par into new government 1865
per cent. bonds; and that our present bank

should be paid, according to the require
ments Of the laws authorizing their creation)
as rapidly as possible, consisten with due
regard for the public welfare, and that the
debt should be funded in new bonds, bear
ing only 1865 per cent. interest ;: that such
new bonds should be payable, principal and
interest, In currency, should be taxable as
other personal property is taxed, and be
convertible into federal treasury notes, at
par, at the option of the holder

ic "wild cat" bank-notes, or as the
notes of the Republican "Nationar'
banks. The former pretended to be re-
deemable on demand in gold and silver,
but were really never redeemed in that
Or anything else. The holders ulti-
mately lost the whole amount. The
latter arc alphabetically redeemable in
greenbacks, but are not expected to be
presented for redemption at all, and ar
virtually irredeemable. These resolu-
tions propose currency that is redeem
able in United States bonds bearing
1865 per cent. interest per annum, and
if the government chooses, it may at
any time pay these bonds in gold and
silver, thus making the money virtually
redeemab!e in specie, whenever specie
enough can be accumulated to pay the
bonds. But certainly currency based
on interest bearing U. S. bonds cannot
be "irredeemable" unless the United
States goes into bankruptcy.
The usual argument against "green-
backs nowadays is that they have
less value than gold and say the hard
money men, eff they are worth only so
cents when there are but $3.50, 900, 900
of them, what will they amount to if
81, 000,0 200 are issued?" The rea-
son for the depreciation of greenbacks
is that the government itself has repu-
dated them in that it declared them not
good enough to pay the interest on its
bonds, nor to be received in payment of
duties on imports. By these two acts
it created commercial demand for gold
which would not otherwise have existed.
The result was that that commodity ap-
preciated in value, and greenbacks can
never be appreciated to equal value I'M

The proprietor proposes to store No.

vantage Of the market when it suits
him. When we buy will pay the mar.
ket price for No. one wheat, want no
other kind. Will exchange -four, bran,
shorts, and mill feed for wheat.
A word to the wise is sufficient. Cut
your grain before fully ripe, to obtain
the best flour and plumpest grain.
Cut when in the dough, it will mature
in the shock. By storing your wheat
at your convenience enables you to get
your market price when needed, saves
waste, &C., in bad graneries. Your
wheat receipts will be q good commod-
ity for exchange and advances in cash
will be paid on them at fair rates. We
will be ready for the new crop and hope
to be enabled to prove ourselves salts

THE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES.

y .
THE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES.
Whenever the industrial element
of the population becomes aroused
to the degree of demanding that
something shall be done to anchor
ate its condition, there are always
empirical pretenders on hand to sug-
gest remedies for the evils complain
ed of, other than those which the
aggrieved themselves would have
prescribed. Generally these charla-
tans are surrounded by some sheen
of some pomp of position
the circumstances of their
former lives have clothed them with;
and the glitter of this reputation
gives them command of influence
far beyond what their real ability
merits. They are thus enabled
often to undo the effective work
which humber though ADLER men
have done. The people should re-
member this, and bear in mind, also,
that all the practicable schemes
which have ever been successfully
employed for the betterment of the
condition Of the humber classes,
have been originated by those occu-
plying lowly stations; by those who
have felt the hand Of oppression in
their own persons.
1t is true that scholars have given
US some very able works on political
economy, but the best of these have
been but collections, in systematic
order, of the cruder thoughts of hum
bier men. 1t is to the latter at last
that we have to turn for the original
ideas. There is good reason why
this should be so. The man who
has been borne down beneath the
iron heel Of oppression is personally
and deeply interested in discovering
where the fault lies and what remedy
is applicable. The subject engages
his closest attention and utmost
power Of thought, and it is not
strange if he occasionally finds the
correct solution Of the questions
which are all absorbing with him. A
humble Indiana farmer, years ago,
pointed out the evil consequences
which would follow our system of
giving the public lands to railroad
corporations, and another working
man suggested the idea of controll-
ing the companies by legislation.
"Why," asked an Ohio soldier, a
maehinist by trade, may not the
government rightfully take of the
property of the rich to pay the ex-
penses of the war, if it may rightful-
ly take the time and the limbs and
lives of the poor to do the fighting?
Is the life of the nation so much
dearer to us than to them that we
must die to preserve it, while they
stay securely at home and increase
their wealth by loaning it money on
bonds, thus creating a debt which
our children will have to pay?"
"True enough" answered CON-
rade, "but, then, perhaps that isn't
law!"
Reader, look over the ground for
yourself: Who planned the con-
trolling Of railroads by legislation?
Whence came the only plausible
scheme devised for relieving US Of
the evils arising from our existing
ruinous financial system? From
what source have you derived your
practical ideas Of economizing in
the expenses Of government? In
short, where die all the reformatory
measures now being discussed by
the people of this country come
from7 Trace them to their sources,
and you will find that they original

INDEPENDENT ACTION,

What have the Anti-Monopolists to
hope for by combining with either of
the old parties For them to vote with
the Republicans will be for them to
continue the condition of things now
existing, for while that party maintains
its organization, it will be likely to re-
main under control of the same corrupt
leaders who have disgraced and depop-
ularized it. By going into the Demo-
cratic ranks it is urged that they can
defeat the Republican party and place
in office those who oppose it and for
this reason some ofour worthiest Anti
Monopoly leaders advocate coalition
with that party. They maintain that
it is only by pursuing such course that
the Autobiography strength can be
made available for political reforma-
ton.
Those who advocate independent act
ion On the part of the Anti-Monopolists
urge two objections against coalition
with the democratic; party, both Of
which are sufficiently strong to justify
their refusal to accept Of that alterna-
tive.
First, they claim that, if that party
were really in accord with them, so
fully as to insure that its triumph
would be the Triumph of their prin-
ciples, it is still so obnoxious to the
great majority of the people, that
these cannot be induced to support
it. The experience Of the past five
years is referred to for proof Of this
assertion. 1t is hardly possible that
any combination of circumstances
will arise hereafter, more propitious
for coalition than those which have
hitherto occurred; yet, under the
most favorable auspices, so far, it
has been found impossible to COM
bine those opposed to the Republic
can party. Now, unless the coali-
tionists can show. beyond peradven-
ture, that the cause which has
influenced people generally to refuse
to coalesce with the Democracy is
to be altogether removed, they have
no right to demand that we shall be-
lieve such coalition any more posi-
bic in the future than it has been in
the past We do not believe that
they can do this, and, for our part,
we are very confident that those
causes must continue to exist during
the lifetime of the present genera
ton at least.
Secondly, they must show that
the triumph of the Democracy will
not only be defeat Of the Republi-
can party leaders,. but that it will
bring about those reforms in the
administration Of the government
which the welfare Of the people de-
mands. If it simply defeats Repub-
ican candidates to elect those nom-
mated by the Democracy, without
some guarantee that the latter will
make better officers than the former,
the people will gain nothing by the
change. 1t matters little to the far
mer or mechanic whether he is rob-
bed by one who processes the same
political faith with himself, orby one
opposed to him. He is all the same
a sufferer. What he needs is to have
those in Office who will neither rob
him themselves, nor permit him to
be robbed by others.
Now, do the Democrats give us
Soch guarantee ? Can they give us
such guarantee ? If the history of
that party teaches US anything, it
teaches that it is and has been, for
the past twenty years, in the hands
Of corrupt men, who have controlled

lage at that point; that it was the purpose OF
Mr.. Roberts to build the wharf for a Boston
company that an opposition line might be run
during the busy season of the year.
Mr.. Wheelwright Of Bangor, of the Com
merce Committee, which reported the bill, ex-
planned the matter at length. He denied that
Bar Harbor was built upientirely by the steam
boat company. He said that he favored the
Maine company but was assured by Mr. Rob-
erts that no Boston company was behind him.
Mr. Grindle warmly advocated the bill and
appealed to the House for fair play.
Mr. Talbot of East Machias, opposed the bill
and showed that Mr.. Roberts had no title to
the land and was surrounded by land even on
the seaside by the land of another. He also
showed by the plan that Mr.. Roberts had but
% feet front even if it was conceded that he
had frontage, and this bill gave him permits
SIGN to build wharf 80 feet wide.
Messrs. Martin of Camden, and White of
Bucksport, favored the bill, and Mr.. Tapley of
Saco, opposed it, The vote on the indefinite
postponement being taken by yeas and nays re-
suited in yeas 81, nays "a. So the motion was
lost.
Mr. Tapley moved to amend the bill so as to
authorize the petitioner to extend his wharf
over his own land to low water mark, which
was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Cleaves the bill was further
amended so as to set bounds to the wharf.
Agreed to, and the bill as amended was passed
to be engrossed.
