The Rag Raby

1t is a little singular that the advocates for
contraction in Ohio are so desperately
averse to United States treasury notes, COM
monty called greenbacks, and strive 10
bring them into public contempt by the
use of such opprobrious epithets as heads
this article, and, at the same time, fail to
discover any aversion to the blackbacks or
national bank currency, Why is this war
faro made upon greenbscKs because at the
present irredeemable, when nothing is said
against national bank notes that have
no promise to redeem in gold at
al written upon them? The national
banker issues his ten dollar bill, which cost
him nominally nine dollars, but really
much less. Upon what is it bssed7 Upon
greenbacks at best. There is as much of it
in circulation as there is of the greenbacks.
or nearly so. u is not printed on any bet
ter paper. 1t becomes rsgged sooner than
the other, and only maintains its relative
value to gold from its relation to the govern
ment currency.
The question is easily answered.
The movement in favor of re-
sumption is supported by, and
in the interest of, the national
banks. This gigantic system of corpora
tons, with all the power OF wealth and in
fiuence of mortgage liens is aiding on this
crusade in favor of contraction. This alone,
il no other reason, should alarm the peo-
pie. Are these cormorants not satisfied?
The government pays them six per cent. to
sustain their credit. For every nine nomi-
nal dollars invested they receive not only
this interest, but float ten dollars of their
money out, generally receiving from ten to
fourteen per cent. more. Is not eighteen
per cent. sufficient profit? Do
hey desire some better under hold
upon the people. Are they the only class
of people in whose interest congress should
legislate? The Cincinnati Commercial urges
that there is ALLIANCES in Ohio between the
pope and the Democratic party because
Catholics give it their support. Tosay moth
ing of the facts in this case, if this is Just
argument, must we not conclude that there
is an alliance between these banks and the
Republican party to make war upon green
backs, and thus direct public attention
from the rag baby in another and dirtier
dress7
The warfare OF the people against the char
tered privileges Of this gigantic monopoly of
the country Is coming. and the cloud betok-
euing the approaching storm is already
larger than mans hard. No amount OF
logic can sustain them before the people.

A KENTUCKY IDYL.
THE BRIDE GOES IT ALoNB.


There came one day TO little inland town
in Kentucky, says the Courier-Journsl,
young rural couple who had just been bound
by the "sillxen bonds" Their destination
was the depot, and the bridegroom was evil
IDENTIFY quite impatient for fear the train
should arrive before he could reach the
Office. Buying one ticket, he stood on the
platform until the train had stopped. When
they entered the car the bridegroom found
his bride seat, kissed her most afectionate
ly, babe her "good-by," and going out,
seated himself on box, and commenced
whiting most vigorously. He watched the
train out of sight, regret depicted on his
face, when bystander, thinking the whole
proceeding rather strange, resolved to inter-
view him. Approaching him carelessly. and
chewing a straw to keep up his courage, he
said: "Been gettin' married lately?" "Yes,"
said he, 'me and Sallie got spliced this
mornin'." "Was that her you put on the
train?n "Yes," with a sigh. "a likely
lookin' GAL" said our questioner. ANY
body sick, and she had to go away" mo-"
but here he grew confidential. "You see
me and Sallie had heard that everybody
when they got married took bridal tour.
So told Sallie hadn't money enough for
both of US to go, but she shouldn't De
knocked out of bern. So L 1ist brought
her down here, bought her ticket and sent
her on a visit to some OF her folks, and
thought might get some work harvestin'
till she got back" That afternoon found
him busily at work, and when in day or
two after. Sallie came back, he welcomed
her cordially and affectionately, and hand in
hand they started down the dusty road to
their new home and duties.

There is peculiar infelicity, with large
amount ofassursnee, in the assumption of
the Republican party OF to-day, that it is the
hard money party; the sound currency
party; and in this connection dspoupcipe
the Ohio Democratic platform. Arraienins
the Democratic party at large as inflationists
If they agree to that platform, and as fatally
inconsistent and unreliable if they disagree
with it. Now, so far as inconsistency goes
it is everywhere quite as apparent among
Republicans on the question of currency as
among Democrats; more so, indeed, if we
consider the speeches of its leaders made in
the late imbecile congress, and the tone of
many of its newspaper organs. There is no
infirmity of the human mind so apparent IS
the tendency to extremes in one direction
or another, upon absorbing and important
issues, political and religious, and indeed
upon all subjects about which men differ,
and it is peculiarly the infrmity and weak
ness of partizan opinion, because many
elements combine to influence
and precipitate mems minds towards
extreme views in the direction which
their judgments in part, and their feelings
and prejudices mostly incline them. Now
principle may be correct in the abstract,
sound, indeed, every way, and yet it de-
ponds upon circumstances, the present con-
dition of things, the good it may achieve
or the injury which may result, whether
the principle is to be vindicated now and at
once. Other co-relevant principles equally
sound may, at a given time, interfere to pre-
vent action in the right direction. In all
important issues, involving public or private
welfare, consequences are to be considered,
plans adopted, an evil if one exists, assuaged,
and attainable ends pursued. A surgeon
called to case of virulent cancer, which is
eating into the vital organs of life, who
should at once proceed TO extirpate with his
knife the fell disease, with every probability
of the immediate death of his patient, or by
that course add lingering agony to the
fatal sore instead of using means that would
palliate and prolong life, and possibly finally
cure, would be considered wicked charla-
tan, and his heroic practice be called murder.
Now on this subject of currency and f.
nance the country has been inoculated
by the republican party with disease, and
the democratic party coming into power,
and now holding in the lower house OF
Congress the purse strings Of the nation, has

announced the old time party doctrine. s'The
greatest good of the greatest number" 1t
IS not by any contriYance of the Democracy
that an antagonism exists between this doc
trine and the principle oil specie basis for
currency. Tho wisdom of temporary policy
and adaptation to circumstances for the
good of all, is the happy medium, the prac-
tical mean by which the measures of the I'M

tration of affairs is to be remedied.

should come to pass by legislation effective
and speedy. Then there may be fair OPP
portunity of discovering the amount OF
currency necessary for the country, I'M
trammeled by the advice and interference
of this monied power.

One reason why the Twin Mountain House
is so extensively pstronized is that the
walters are all school teachers or college
students, who avail themselves OF the sum-
mer vacation to turn an honest penny by
ministering to the gastronomic wants of
tourists. The Crawford House IS another
hotel which is indebted for its walters to the
educational system OF New England. The
head waiter is theological student at Dart
mouth.

John NJ. Cozad, now Retired from the
sporting arena, was, says the Conmerclot
one OF the most successful of Cincin-
natl gamblers in his time. and strange
to say, his success was not in backing
or dealing games, but in playing against
them. For several years after he be-
