Democracy Dissected.

Mr.. EDrroR-DEAR SIR In one of
the Cincinnati Enquirer Extras of re-
cent date, [ find two very remarkable
and utterly contradictory statements.
lst. Tom. Ewing in his fallen state, at
Findlay, Ohio, August 18th, declares
''fhe Secretary of the Treasury has re-
deemed tloenty-sis hundred thousand dol
lars fractional currency, and all of this
has passed into the hands of the bro
kers." I'd. Geo. w. Morgan on the
4th of August, 1873, at Canal-Dover, af-
ter stating the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments re-
quires the Secretary of the U. 5. Treas
ury to redeem with silver co in the frac-
tional currency "as rapidly as prdctica-
ble," eXultingly demands, "HOw much
has been redeemed Not Il dollar, not
one dime! Who among yOu have ever
seen any of this silver?" Not one
living man, Tom. declares as he scat
tiers his poisonous teachings broadcast
of moral and financial peril, pestilencc
and disaster to this nation, that more
than eighty-One tons of silver coin have
been turned over to the brokers for frac-
tional currency. While Geo. sweating
and foaming ut the mouth, shouts, "Not
one dime of silver has been issued"
Please ask the Bulletin ,1hich is the big
ger liar. Again. lst. The Cincinnati
Enquirer emphatically declares the
nomination of Geghan in democratic
convention was equivalent to saying
that the charge of an alliance between
the Roman Catholic Church and the
democratic party was not uafouRded.
2d. A democratic stumper who would
remind you much of a swill tub In a
state of etfcrvescence, recently declared
to Il d. mo ;rstic audience "the Republic
cans had nominated Geghan." Which
lies? Ask the Bulletin.
Again. lst. A stumper of the demo-
cratic persuasion, and sundry smaller
lights, declare with much vehemence,
The law of March Goth, 1875, regulating
the fees and salaries of county officers
has saved too hundred and eighty-six
thousand dollars to the taxpayers of the
State. WHAT Whence the source of
this cheering news? Ohio Statesman,
Sept. 2, 1875. 2d. The law declares
(See laws of Ohio for 1875, page l2S, sec.
g. that no officer elected prior to its
passage shall be affected by it, either in
or decreasing salaries.
Have any county officers been elected
since the passage of this law? None.
Which lies, Statesman or stumper, Mr..
BulIelinP
II any one will take the paper referred
to and the law, and examine carefully,
he will find as many lies in the statistics
as counties in the State.
These things are infamous. This base
effort to deceive and mislead honest
men, and thus secure political position
by the iniquitous practice of prOpa-
eating systematized error, deception,
fraud and falsehood. Let them look to
their record. The last Democratic State
Treasurer stole. more than secen hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. Let us have a
grand rally of the honest patriotic men
of the county and State, without distinc-
tion of party, for their country's good,
for honesty, wise and just laws, economy
in all things, "free schools aud honest
money" A LOYAL SOLDIER;

Political Notes.
From the Cincinnati Commercial. ]

From the Cincinnati Commercial
The election of Allen and Cary af-
ter the shocking ignorance and reck-
lessness they have displayed on the
financial questions, and the immense
publicity that their utterances have
received, owing to the Importance of
the campaign, would shake American
credit at home and abroad. Such a
result would drive capital, otherwise
seeking investment here, away from
us, check the sales of bonds at lower
rates of interest, and send up the
price of gold, which is reducing the
value of the currency, the most pain
ful process of contraction known.
Judge Taft strikes the tender spot
of the Democratic imposture on the
currency question when he urges
that the resumption of specie pay
ments will revive trade. That is the
point exactly, and the howlers of in
1ation foolishness are destroying
business to the utmost extent of
their power. The one event that
would do more than any other to re
store business is the exemplary de-
feat of Allen and Cary, and the Rag
Baby funeral for which our Collin
Company have prepared so judi
ciously. 1t would be worth millions
to the people of Ohio to silence the
fog horn and hang up the whang-
doodle forever.
An artist is wanted to draw the
picturesque Sam. Cary standing upon
the platform in Cleveland with his
horrid hair in the wind, his terrible
eve softened with tears, his benevo-
lent face dimmed by unutterable sor-
rows his horny hands uplifted and
outspread, his fiery lips gently part
ed with deep emotion, exclaiming:
80 l wish | had some bondsw while
the political duffer has $25,500 in
bonds, according to the report of the
Auditor of this county.
Credit is sensitive, capital is eau
tious, and they shrink from the inter
minable blasts of fog-horn states
men and the fierce blowing of bazoo-
rippers among politicians. Not only
should Allen and Cary be punished,
for their presumptuOus roaring of
patent follies, by an overwhelming
defeat, but there should be a public
opinion developed that would declare
as public enemies the assailants of
the public credit.
It is a standing fiction of the infia-
tionIsts tn at those who are not with
them are opposed to greenbacks, and
they are squirting this notion about
like tobacco expectoration. We
are for appreciating, and they for de-
preciating the greenbacks. We are
| for making the currency equal to
gold. They are for debasing it; and
they would begin by violating the
| law of the greenback.
The Enquirer ana Catholic Iele-
oraph having by their united efforts
thoroughly justified the charge of
an alliance in Ohio between the
Democratic party and the Church of
Rome, have become discreetly silent.
There is fitness about this sort of
thing that is pleasing to the judi
cious.

The Bottom Falling Out.

Judge HoADLEY, of Cincinnati a
democrat of standing and influence.
has been interviewed on the political
situation by a Commercial reporter.
The Judge can't 60 imitation; he be-
lieres that there can be no substan-
tial prosperity in this country until
the paper dollar is made equal in
vaihe with the gold dollar. In regard
to Kelley's 3-65 convertible bond
plan, the Judge says it is "a system
ofseyere contraction which he Kel-
ley calls imitation, the object of
which is to draw all the money out of
the banks and deposit it with the
Federal Government on interest, so
as To- break the banks and bring
abss,t a panic"
With Gen. jackson, the Judge be-
lieYes that an irredeemable paper
currency is "a particular curse to the
laborer," and here is his argumen-
ment upon that point:
Currency is but measure of val
ues, and to make such'a measure, the
standard must itself have value.
The more certain and stable that
value, the better the standard. The
great mistake of the infiatiOnists is
in confoundlng capital, which con-
sists of the savings of labor with
currency, which is the measure of
values, and the means of exchan ges.
General Ewing seems to think the
Government creates capital by print
ing greenbacks, whereas the green
back is debt, and the indefinite crea
tionof greenbacks does not increase
the eapital of the country one dollar,
but,y by initiating prices, makes it
more difficult for the real capital of
the country to perform its Office. Be
sides, the effect of imitation is to
bear with especial severity on the Ia
borer. Mr.. A. L. Stewart can mark
up his goods in day, but the la
borer can't mark up his wages, while
he will be required to pay an adj
vaneed price for all the necessa-
ries of life. All our staples are con-
troled by the New York gold price.
The Cincinnati price of wheat and
flour, for example, consists of the
gold price at New York, which is
fixed by the foreign demand, with
the addition of the premium on gold,
transportation, and the profits of the
various dealers in handling the COM
modify. Increase the premium on
gold perceptibly, as the infationists
would do, and the prices of these sta
pies are at once marked mp, to yhe
detriment of the laborer, the conse
queuse being@that he has to pay so
much more for the necessaries OF life,
while the effect of imitation reaches
the cost of his labor at last.
The Judge can't vote for Allen on
an imitation platform; his democracy
won't permit it.

like to know what honest man can put

like to know what farmer, wishing
the prosperity OF his family, can
trust a party which, by such violent
changes in financial policy, will dis
turb all markets and prices to which
he is accustomed to look for remune-
ration of his labor? Whatever may
be thought of the various theories of
financial policy. one thing is absolute
ly certain, that ifthe Democratic poll
cy be adopted and carried into the ac-
tual practice of the government that
every kind of business and banking
will he made unstable, set afloat, all
uncertain of the future. Specula-
tion, it is true, will be revived, proba-
bly, on gigantic scale. Mems minds
will be wild with new schemes. But.
on the other, the manufacturers will
be totally deranged in their business
and prospects, and the farmers will
be utterly unable to make any cal.
upon the value of their
harvests. But this we need not en-
large upon. If it be not self-eyident
to business man, reasoning will not
make it so.
But why should the Democratic
party so suddenly change it's atti-
tude? What is to be gained by it?
What do they expect? We can not
answer questions which they can not
answer themselves. The speeches of
the Democratic orators in this State
make confusion worse confounded.
They agree upon nothing. They un-
derstand nothing. They have not
the slightest knowledge of political
economy, and they present a specta-
Gle little short of bedlam let loose.
But in all of this we see one thing
clearly, that the loose and dangerous
doctrines of Cary and Allen are those
which are most popular in the Demo
cratic party. Such sort of half

Contraction IN Original Demo-
cratic Measure.

From the New York Post.
The platforms of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Democrats declare that
''the contraction of the currency made
by the Republican party, and the
tnrther contraction proposed by it
with view to the forced resumption
of specie payments =, threaten
universal bankruptcy" and demand
that this policy be abandoned. The
men who thus assume to speak for
the Democratic party in those States
are apparently ignorant of the fact
that the first and only practical at
tempt TO reduce the amount of gov
ernment currency, and to render it
equivalent in value to coin, received
the almost unanimous support of the
Democrats in Congress. 1t was
in December, 1865, that Secretary
McCulloch made his report urging
such Il contraction. On the 18th of
that month the following resolution
was offered in the House of Repre-
sentatives:
"ResOlyed, That this House cordially
cOncurs in the views of the Secretary of
the Treasury. In relation to the neces-
sity of contraction of the currency
with a view to as early n resumption
of specie payments as the business in
terests of the country will permit; and
we hereby pledge cooperative action to
this end as speedy as practicable"
This resolution was adopted, with
out even reference to a committee,
by vote of IA to 6. OF those vot-
ing in its favor thirty-one were Dem
ocrats, while only one Democrat voted
againstit. The Democrats who voted
for the resolution were:
Ross, Thornton, and Marshall. OF Illi-
nOis; Niblack, Kerr, and Voorhees,, of
Indiana; Trimhle, Ritter, Grider,
Harding, and Shanklin, of Ken
tueky; Hogan, of Missouri; Sit
greaves, and Wright, of New Jer-
sey; raber, Bergen, Taylor, Brooks,
Radford, Hubbeil, and Humphrey. of
New York; Finck, of Ohio; Randall,
Boyer, AncOna.- -StrOuse, johnson, Deni-
son, and Dawson, of Pennsylvania; and
Eldridge, of Wisconsin.
On the passage of the bill to carry
ont the recommendation of the reso-
luton only one Democrat voted nay
in the House of Representatives, and
in the Senate the negative vote was
cast entirely by Republicans, both
the Pennsylvania Senators, Buckalew
and Cowan,. voting for 1t. The
day will soon come when Thurman,
Hendricks, and other Democrats who
like them have advocated hard money,
will lament their cowardice in per-
mitting the latter day Carys and
Ewings to dictate to them their pO-
litical course ''in the name of the De
mocracy."

s.Thou Shalt Not Bear raise
Witness"

To the Editor of the Commercial Bulle-
tin and Review, Pittshurg, Pa:
DEAR SIR:-In a recent issue Of
your paper find the following most
astounding editorial statements:
"Why was the Sherman financial bill
passed? Simply (as you affirm to
aid the banks throughout the coun-
try, and the money kings, brokers,
and sharks on Wall street, to gather
in all the surplus money and then
loan it out at high rates of interest" F"
Business men needing money are
(as you afiirml thereby compelled
to borrow money at ezhor6itamt rates
of interest"
Are the above statements truef
Out of your oacn mouth yoB and
your declarations shall be condemn
ed. Even in the same paper, same
date, and same page, you state
''money is abundant in New York at
from 2 to o5 per cent. interest per
year, for prime commercial paper"
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1875-09-30

The Bulletin, in speaking of the
late Republican procession, says:
"Fully one-third of the whole
number were colored."
If this means anything, it means
that colored voters are not entitled to
join in political professions. They
may vote for democratic candidates
for office, but they must not be seen
in professions. This is the spirit of
the old slavery times. when Democ-
racy preached the sentiment that a
''negro had no rights which white
man was bound to respect, except the
right to work for democrats for their
board and clothing"
Aftersuch a display of democratic
hatred and prescription, surely no
colored voter will be found voting that
ticket, or for any candidate upon it.
They would disgrace their manhood
to do so.
