Speaking OF the charge Of salary
grabbing SO dishonesty made by the
Democratic press against Gov. Kirk
wood, the Chicago Tribune, the
fiererst of all denunciators of salary
grabbers, says: Everybody famii-
lar with the facts knows that tie
salary act of 1866 was not 'grabA
at all. 1t was passed by congress in
the first session, and the men wha
voted for ii went TO their constitu-
ents on their record. 1t was very
different thing from the rascally and
cowardly grab of the forty-sseond
Congress, which was consuniniafed
by the votes of men who We're soon
to retire TO private life."

authority to coerce State aud COM
n pei IL TO remain in the Union
Though the Democracy had a major
ity In Congress when the Rebellion
commenced, not a finger Was raised
by them to stop the rebellion in its
Infancy. They claimed Tint the na.

in the Union merely by agreement
which might he broken by any State
at its own pleasure. That South
I Carolina had the right TO dissolve the
compact, aud being a sovereign State
there was no earthly power above

Mr. Elliott, in his speeches at
Wheeling aud other points in the
county, told his hearers that ma
tional bank autes iost by accident are
gain To the banker" and that ''if a
man holds $4,000 in the bills Of the
Marion County National Bank, and
the bills are accidentally burned, il
would be Iarkin Wright's gain; il
the bills were greenbacks the gain
would be to the government" III
Mr.. Elliott knows anything Of what
he talks about he knows that the
gain is to the Government In case of
loss or destruction Of II National
bank bill, just as it is in case of loss
or destruction of greenback.
When a National bank s,ispends
or goes into liquidation, or j. abol-
ished i'm any manner, the Govern
meut holds the bonds by which the
bills are secured until the whole
amount Of the bills issued by the
bank has been paid into the Z. 5.
Treasury. For Example, the Knox
VILE National Bank has on deposit
in the Il. s. Treasury 100000 in L.
s. bonds. Upon the basis OF these
bonds the Government has Issued to
the bnnk 100000 in currency. The
bank must return the entire 500 900
IN its own bills or other valid curren-
cy before 1t can withdraw It's bonds,
because the Government il pledged
To redeem every dollar Of the banks
circulation, ifthe bank does not re-
deem It. The bank cannot prove
that certain bills have been burned
or otherwise destroyed, and hence, if
il cannot produce its own bills to the
full amount, IL must make up tile
deficiency in other curr ency.
Mr.. Harlan, in his speech here last
Saturday, not knowing that Mr.. FL
lott or any other man In his audi
ence had made this absurdly false
statement, said:
Il pity the candidate for Office who
would so presume upon the ignor-
ance,of his audience rs to tell the
people in public speech that Ma
tional bills lost or destroyed are Il
gain to the bank. When a man un-
dertakes TO teach he ought to inform
himself upon the subject of which lie
speaks. If he makes such an as-er-i
tion a. this he il either unpardona.
bly, ignorant or baseiy dishonest, and
In either case unworthy"
Mr.. Elliott listened, blusEed, and
soon found occasion 10 slip out Of the
room. IL Is safe to say that he will
not again venture to make this false
statement.

MIR. Elliott says that the early re-
sumption OF specie payments viii
bring financial ruin to the country.
He says the Democratic party is a
unit upon this question throughout
the nation, declaring for more green
backs and against resumption. The
f,,cts are that the Democracy Of Ohio,
Iowa and Pennsylvania are about
half with Mr.. Elliott on this ques.
ton, and they of New York and the
New England States are opposed and
cling 10 their love of " money. that

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1875-07-03

We were coming down White street this
morning when we overlook an old gentle
man in IA cart. The vehicle was springlesS,
and as it ioltcd over the stones every revolu'
ton of the wheels was hall-storm.
We nodded to him, and he nodded back.
"A nice day." we suggested IN raised
voice.
"Hey:' he screamed.
"a nice day we roared.
30, yes he shouted "a good corn day
How's business-pritty goody'
Every good, we answered.
"Hey?'
Very good, we yelled.
Glad TO hear it," he SAID, and then relaps-
ed into silence, and we hurried on, as people
were showing altogether too much interest III
our efforts to be heard.
what do you think of that teller over IN
| England who walks on the wafer! nc SUI
denly exploded.
We had to fall back with the pace OF the
cart.
"Hes wonderful chap we said, in
hopes that that would satisfy him.
"Hey?"
"He's wonderful chap we yelled,
80 he is How do you s'pose he does 1t: -
"He wears rubber clothes and halchet,"
we suggested, at the top OF our voice
"What KIND OF clothcs
People were raising their windows now,
and we were beginning to feel desperate.
Rubber" we roared
"Oh, rubber Ell? And that keeps him up,
eh?'
Yes
"Hey?"
Yes" we shrieked.
Eyes, yes? Yes, what?'
you asked us if rubber was what kept
him up, and we said yes" We explained, in a
KEY of voice that brought the merchants and
their customers out on the walk in spite OF
the cart.
whats that? didn't quite make out,
he shouted.
Then we went out on the roadway, and
took the horse by the head, and brought tho
whole establishment to a sand-still, and then
explained just what we had said.
"Ah see; it's wonderful thing, a mos
wonderful thing" ae said, and then added
at must have been the cart going over the
stuns which kept me from hearin of you
but / wGs afraid at first that you were sick
and couldn't speak up.
