an assurance that the government IS able to pay
on demand without discounting its own paper.
To my mind there are two methods BY which
this financial problem can be solved. One is
for the government to hold its currency at its
present volume, and by the use of its mines,
and mints, and financial resources augment the
volume Of gold sufficient to redeem its cur
rency in other words, do just what an honest
debtor would do: go to arork and pay has hon.
est debts. The other is to adopt the system OF
gradual contraction, and reduce the volume OF
currency until its value is equal with coin. l
see no reason why both these remedies may
not be used at the same tin e.
France has recently furnished us with an in
structive lesson on this subject. On the 18th
Of Nov. 1873 her note circulation amounted TO
| S6O2, ,0OO, 600; and on the Sd of June 1875 her
note circulation had been reduced to $3.50, SIT,
| 423, showing reduction in eighteen months
of $l2l, ,482 ,577, without producing any dis
turbance in the French money market. If the
present depreciation Of our currency repre-
sents the measure Of the excess-and the
amount in active circulation be 81 ,00c ,OO0--
then contraction of Sl0O, 900 600 would re.
store our currency to a specie basis, which
could be accomplished within four years with
out the slightest Inconvenience to the govern
ment or danger to the business interests OF tn
country.
| According to my judgment the platform Ina
a sound financial plank and, taken as
whole, regard it second to none in existence

AN UNsoLvED MYSTERY.
Was it Murder, Suicide or Abduction ,

Was it Murder, Suicide or Abduction
Thursday evening last, a few minutes
past O'Clock, Miss Ella d., daughter Of
Joseph II. Capp, the well-Snown book
seller doing business in Augusta, Maine,
left her fathers house on Oak street to 20
to the house of DR.. Bell, but a few rods
away, to consult with him, AZ she had been
i'll for some time from the effects OF heart
disease and for the past five weeks had
been considerably depressed. Her mother
wished to go with her, but Ella preferred
to go alone, stating that it made her nerv-
GUS to have any of the family with her in
consulting with the doctor. 1t appears
she did not 90 to the doctors, and from
that time until now nouling has been heard
from her by her family or friends, although
the most diligent search was made Thurs.
day night, and every day since. After the
city proper had been examined in every
part, large crowd of men and boys began
searching the woods in the vicinity, but so
far nothing has been learned of her where
abouts. Sunday hundreds were engaged
in the search, and every possible hiding
place for miles has been carefully looked
into. All has been in vain, however, and
not The least cew has been obtained that
might lead TO an explanation of the mystic
ry of her disappearance.
When she left home she had on n gray
dress and polonaise trimmed with black, a
blue and green plaid shawl, aad black
straw hat. Why she should leave home no
one knows, but there are as many theories
regarding her disappearance, almost as
there are persons in the city Her friends
think that being naturally tmid and afraid
of meeting strangers, Miss Clapp might
have been alarmed on seeing some one
whom she was about to meet, and fled into
some barn or clubhouse, and persisted there:
or that she may he with some family I'm.
acquainted with her, and she unable IL
communicate 10 them her name The
family are in deep sorrow as may well be
supposed, and they have the sympathy Of
the whole city.
Suspicious Of fonl play are entertained
by many, who think she was the victim Of
some tramp or other evil minded person
! Others think her recent depression of mine
has resulted in insanity, in a paroxyem Of
| which she has taken her own life. Still
others believe she has been abducted by
some person who wishes to gain reward
for returning her. In support of this latte
theory it is reported that the cries Of wo
man in distress were heard on North stree
soon after midnight the night of her disap
pearance, and also the sound ot q team be

these two states and the cities mentioned
the increase has been over one hundred and
sixty per cent. In New York, outside of
New York city, Brooklyn and Albany, the
municipal Indebtedness increased in the
two years next succeeding the time of TAX
ing the census from nineteen and half to
forty-two and half millions-or about one
hundred and twenty per cent. 1t will be
seen that IN the states and cities named,
the present municipal Indebtedness amounts
to over six hundred and fourteen millions
of dollars-$6l4, 1873, 4S6-ap increase of
very nearly one hundred and sixty per
cent. The remaining municipalities of the
country oscd. in 1870, ninety-one millions
of dollars, and If we add this, allowing for
no increase, to the aggregate Indebtedness
already stated, we find q present indebted
ness OF al least $705, 297 ,871, to be in
creased as il shall be found that the other
municipalities of the country outside of
the three states and thirty-two cities men
toned may have increased their indebted
ness.
That the municipal Indebtedness, outside
OF the states and cities mentioned, has cor
respondingly increased admits of no ques-
ton when we remember the vast amount
Of territory included in the excluded limits.
But VIC have said enough to show thatDur
municipal Indebtedness is increasing in a
larger ratio than the public debt is being
decreased; and when we say that, reckoned
by the amount of interest paid annually,
this municipal Indebtedness already
amounts to two-thirds Of the national debt
of Great Britain, which we are accustomed
to consider " enormous" is further argu-
ment needed TO show that the people have
good reason to mistrust themselves, and
that their only safety, from being ruined
by debt and taxation, rests in constitu-
tional restrictions and prohibitions
