an unpaid advocate NOR can his 'dtgu

with great care, and must honestly sayl It il
the wordiest covering, for manifold excu

Is in point Of fact beneath criticism, Ainas'

find him tho guest of the Successors not
those whom he plotted and fought against
25 years ago. In Philadelphia for many
years, free lance in German newspaper
circles; his ready and eloquent pen, as
purchaseable as his daily food. A few
short months ago, striking at the very
wing Of the Republican party he j. now re-
tanned by:-hammer like blows. Having
salaamed to Bismarck, and become the con-
fiddential councelor of q large German corr
poration, and established close connection
with the great capitalists Of Europeyhe ap-
pears in Ohio, in his true character, ID
great mental athlete. Passing 26ver his
manifold excuses for taking service in the
Republican camp; lie opens his, assaults
upon the Democracy of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania upon the score that they are inaa-
tionists: This is not true; and We ask cor
rection if we are wrong-but the correc-
ton must be BY pointing out the sentence
in either platform, that fayors initiation,
The Democracy m Of both States, den demand
the repeal Of the specie payment act as its
enforcement would result in confscation Of
nearly one fourth, Of every debtors proper

Of honesty in finance coming down, out

We ask if it is honesty, TO compel
Jones who borrows $1,000 in currency from
Brown, worth now, say, $500 in gold, to
force him to pay back $1,000 in gold three
years hence, meantime paying legal interest
upon the debt. To US, this is robbery BY
act Of Congress. '.h' ..'' ~ ..'.-
A passage Of Mr., schurzs speec his ap-
plovinsly quoted by one of our daiIies:
''Finallv, the inevitable crash approach
es. The prudent rich man has anticipa-
ted its coming, and taken his precautions.
lie can do so, for. he had knowledge and
means, but the poor man is a victim to
his necessities. " To take precautions is
not possible tor him. HeIis swept along
by the tide. a feeling of distrust creeps
over the business community. One day
our worthy labo-er goes to his place Of
work as usual, II am sorry" says his en-
ployer, who shifts the breeze; there is an
overstocked market and downward ten
dency, and I am obliged to take in sail; l
have but little work for you at low figures,
or no work at all at last" ..,... ,-r
The shipwreck is complete. The rich
man is in the life-boat and the poor man
in the breakers with nothing to float
him" . r..f .,., .,.,.r.. a 'r..'f,
Well, if this is not picture of things as
they are, We don't know what language
means. '" ID" d ~n. '0 'n .N'

Is there not an overstocked market; a
downward tendency" "Haye not the
capitalists taken in SAIL" and locked up
their money! 70 .,p .Iru.o. u.,
Is not the rich man in the life-boat and
the poor man in the breakers of idleness
and poverty with famine looming in the
wintry future? ', .a..,,..,, ,r .. !
The quoted sentence, if spoken by
plain man, would be called nonsense. AS
a brilliant advocate declaimed it from
party hustings, it il craftsmanship! 1t is
a true picture of the nresent.--ond r,orolu
