of Sam Carey, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Lieutenant Governor of Ohio
is making speeches every day, the
burden of which is to array the poor
against the rich. 70 denounce him
as an arrant demagogue is n work of
supererogation. Every intelligent
man who knows him, knows that he is
"a loud-mouthed brawler, without q
spark OF patriotism in his deceitful
bosom. He is false to every princi.
pie Of humanity, and Judas-like
would betray his Savior for thirty
pieces of silver. He denounces bond.
holders in all his hypocritical har.
ranges, while he is himself bloated
bond-holder. For the purpose of
gaining popularity and getting votes
foe q paltry Office, he would see a war
Of determination waged between the
poor and the rich.
Such men are not to be trusted in
any capacity. Their teachings are
the worst kind of sophistry, and stir
up the worst passions. Il is no
crime for a man to become wealthy, If
he secures wealth by industry and
economy. 1t is the boosted privilege
Of every man in this country to be-
come wealthy, and constant work
coupled with economy will bring
wealth sooner or later. Rather than
array the less fortunate against the
more fortunate class, let all be stimu.
lated to strive for the highest and
best. Let such demagogues as Sam.
Carey once get control Of the desti-
MES of the country, and we will all be
placed on q level and remain there.
No man under such circumstances
will achieve wealth.

To tie Editors Of the Chronicle
It is said that cares and sorrows
bleach the locks oftener than accumu-
lated years, and nowhere under the
sun 90 people seem to have as few
cares and as many days as here in
these mountains. The people seem to
be welded to the place aud you might
as well try to win an eagle from his
lonely rocky hume as to try to get
them TO exchange their "happy noun
tain home - for any other.
The signs of autumn are already
visible in the forests and upon the
mountains, and the evenings are get
ting more pleasant in doors than out.
Some of my Knoxville correspondents
complain of the extremely warm
weather you are having this month,

Last week we had very pleasant
visit from Prof Nicholson, Of East
Tennessee University, accompanied
by Messrs. Frank McClung, Jr., and
MIR. Moses. They spent the time ex-
ploring the mines aud visiting the re-
filming works, which are certainly
curiosity to those who have never
seen them.

1t is true, times here are not what
they once were, and it seems hard for
the people TO realize the fact that times
are close everywhere now mot much
to do, with plenty to do it, However,
experience is the best teacher" ana
many miners and others have gone to
the Cincinnati Southern railway liz

Capt. Webb, the hero of the channel
feat, Is the lion of the day in England.
Subscriptions have been opened in
London and the provincial towns for
the purpose of presenting him with
some token of the popular appreciation
of his courage, and about 50 900 has al
ready been collected. 1t is proposed
also that the Queen confer upon him
the honor of KnigthOod. Capt. Webb,
who is rs years of age, learned to swim
at seven years of age. He first sigma
liZed himself in the Suez Canal, by
diving under his ship and clearing
away hawser which had fouled her,
On one occasion, when returning from
the UnitedIStates in the Cunard steam
er Russia, he jumped overheard in a
heavy sea, while the vessel was going
at full speed, to save man who had
fallen overheard. The Russia was run
ming before the wind under steam and
canvas, and as she was going at the
rate of 10 knots an hour, Webb was far
out of sight before the vessel could be
brought TO. A lifeboat was sent out in
search of him, and Webb was picked
up after having been for half an hour
in "A sea such as no one had ever before
been known to encounter successfully.
For this gallant atten pit to save the life
OF fellow-creature he was presented
by the passengers with purse of 500.
Capt. Webb also holds the first gold
Stanhope medal of the Royal Humane
Society and the silver medal of the
same Society, both which were presen-
ted to him at the Freemason's Tavern,
in the presence of a distinguished COM
pany, by the Duke of Edinburgh.
Capt. Webb also holds the medal of

Il ORDER TO WIN votes the Dem
ocratic party abandons its old time
principle of hard money, and falsely
charges now that the Republican
party, by unreasonable contraction of
the currency, causes the present hard
times" AS to the policy of the Re-
publican party, as embodied in the
Resumption Bill of last Congress, let
Senator Sherman speak. He says:
1t provides for more money, just as any
one can give the requisite security for it
And it also provides that in three years and
half the money shall be as good as gold.
1t is not true thatlit contracts the curren-
ey. 1t replaces in due time our fractional
currency with silver coin, thus giving the
people choice between our fractional cur
rency and a currency which rings. 1t re-
tires United States notes only as bank
notes are issued, and provides that both
United States notes and bank notes shall,
on the lst Of January, 1876, be equa! to
gold coin.
The only contraction of the currency that
is provided for by existing law is that pro-
vision Of the law Of 1874 that authorizes q
National bank to retire its circulating note,
by depositng with the Treasurer of the
United States an equal amount Of green
backs. And this provision was adopted
by the general consent of all. In Other
words, it authorizes banks TO redeem theil
own notes by paying them. Who could
object to this? General Ewing in hi
speech at Findlay, complains Of this con,
/ traction. Would he deny TO a bank th,
right to pay its own notes? This provision
is an inevitable result Of free banking, ant
is the only way by which we can secure
flexible currency. This is the only way by
which the volume Of currency can be made
and kept equal TO the wants Of trade.

Letter from Bismarck.

A letter written by Prince Bismarck
to his wife in July, 1851, we find the
following:
The day before yesterday went to
Wiesbaden, and looked with mixture
OF sadness and premature wisdom at
the scenes of my former follies. If
only it would please God to ill up
with clear strong wine the vessel in
which at twenty-one the muddy cham
payne of youth frothed up to SO little
purpose! How many of those
with whom fiirted and drank and
gamhled are now under ground What
changes my views of life have under
gone IN the fourteen years that have
elapsed since that time, each in its
turn seeming.to me the correct one
how much that / then thought great
now appears small; how much now
seems honorable which | then de.
spised! How much fresh foliage NAV
stlll grow out of our inner man, giving
shade, rustling in the wind, becoming
worthless and faded, before another
fourteen years are passed, before 1855
II only we live so long! / can not inn
agine how a man who thinks at ali
about himself, and yet refuses to hear
anything about God, can endure life
without WEAKNESS and seIf-abhorrencs
/ can't think how | endured il former,
ly; If had 10 live now as then. with
OUT GOD, without you, without chill

throw OF this life like dirty shirt:
ana yet most OF my acquaintances are

MORE FIGURES ABOUT THE
CURRENCY.

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, for the
past ten years has been Chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee and
is perhaps more familiar with the his
tory of our present currency in its
present form than any other man now
in public life. In recent speech in
Ohio he noticed the claim of the De.
mocracy that our present depression
in business is owing to the want of
paper money, lie reiterates the state.
ment the CHRONICLE has repeatedly
made that we have now more paper
currency than we have ever had, and
says:
The fractional currency was constantly
increasing, SO that in September, 1873 we
had outstanding the enormous aggregate of
S14L0O0,0 600 Of deprecated paper money.
Fellow citizens, think for a moment Of this
vast aggregate. 1t was a greater amount of
paper currency than any nation in modern
times had attempted to maintain in circula-
ton. France, in the pressure Of her war
with Germany, had reached at one time the
sum Of S5OOOOO0OO. What was the effect
Of this deprecated paper money in 1873 ?
1t was higher then than ever before.
know that General Ewing and Mr. Pendle-
ton dispute this fact have here the Off
cisl figures.
On July l, 1865, our currency was as fol-
lows National Bank notes, Sill 900 600 (;
United States notes, SlS2, GsI OOO fraction
al currency, S25, OO5, 600, in all $62s, 500, =
600. To this should be added the outstand.
ing State Bank paper of local circulation,
that perhaps reached the sum of 100000, =
600, but it was being rapidly retired
Ga July l, 1878, our currency was as fol-
lows; Bank notes $40, 5000 United
States notes, 1856, 100000, and fractional
currency, S44, 1884, 900; or an aggregate of
$40, 799, 600. But General Ewing and Mr..
Pendleton, to make good their claim, count
the interest-bearing notes of the United
States, which were commonly known as the
ompound-interest-no the one, two and
three-year notes, and perhaps the seven
thirties, as part Of the currency. Well
these notes did not to any appreciate ex-
tent enter into the currency. When the in.
terest accumulated for ten days they were
held for investment, and l know they were
devised to induce and enable our soldiers 10
hold them out of circulation, SO that they
might get the benefit of the accruing inter-
est. Jut what do these gentlemen say to
the fact that all these notes except the three
per cent. certificates held by the banks
were paid off and redeemed by Mr. McCul-
Tough before March, 1863, when General
Grant became President? If there was a
contraction Of the currency by the payment
of debts as they accrued it was prior to
$50, and long after that the Democratic
party was crying out for the resumption of
specie payments and denouncing Us for our
deprecated and irredeemable currency.

Bile Greeneville Americqa Dem J,
speaking Of the Pennsylvania Demo
cratic platform, gives expression to
the following honest sentiment:
1.-THE greenback policy is certainly a
popular one, and if the Democracy we're to
60 before the people on an imitation plat.
form just at this time, in all probability
National affairs would change hands. But
the policy is demagogical one, and a
cowardly subierfuge TO avoid response
bility."

A REPUBLICAN paper in MISSISSIPPI

A REPUBLICAN paper in MISSISSIPPI
pi says:
We can name fifty Republicans and
twice as many Democrats whose deaths
would be fine thing for the Republican
party, for the Democratic party, for the
State, and for the whole human family. We
hold ourselves in readiness to write their
obituary notices singly or in squads, and
send them to the other world with q shout
Of good will. 1t gratifes US to get off SO
much, merely as a forerunner of more,
even to naming those we would delight to
know were clothed with wings, furnished
with harps, and set to work on the ew
song Immediately.
We fear this is too true. We think
there is no doubt but that the Demo
Gratis have determined to carry the
election this Fall peaceably if they
can, but if not, then by force, fraud,
intimidation and murder. But while
this is tue, we fear the Governor of
the State knows about as little of the
temper and wants of his constituents
as a mule does of mathematics.
