AFTER OHIO, WHAT d?

Should the Democrats elect Allen
in Ohio the currency question will be-
come the chief issue in the Presiden-
tial election in 1876. Should the Re-
publicans succeed the issue would be
Of less significance, because such re.
suit would bury imitation in the West
and weaken it in the South. The Re-
publican party, on this question, is in
the right,and it is rallying to its ban
ners the better class Of Independent,
patriotic men, who have of late been
estranged from it. Chief among these
are Schurz and Grosvenor Of Mis-
souri,, Hoadley, Halstead, Cox, Has.
saurek and BrinlerhofT in Ohio, and
Galusha Grow and e. Joy Morris in
Pennsylvania, and Adams i'm Massa
chusetts. No matter how the Ohio
election goes, the Republicans have
honesty prosperity and public faith
for their corner-stones, and the intel
ligeBCe, honesty and labor Of tho
country win be with them.
The result OF Aliens election IS
easily foreseen. The New York Her

these observations:

AN EFFORT HAS been made to
make political capital out of the re-
fusal of Gov. Ames to accept the SER
vices of Democrats to suppress riots
and disorders. We think the Govern
or has done exactly right. To accept
the services of his bitter uncompro-
missing and abusive enemies to assist
in protecting the blacks would be the
height of folly. There are good citi.
zens in Mississippi in the Democratic
party, who would aid the Governor in
restoring order, but they are not the
blatant noisy fellows who are always
ready TO start on a moments notice to
shoot niggers.' These are the kind
who curse Ames for not arming them
in the interest of peace. We would
as soon ask the infamous d. II. Hill
TO protect the reputation Of Gen.
Candy. We would as soon turn loose
pack of hungry wolves upon a flock
of lambs expecting to see them peace
fully at sleep in the warm sunshine.

Altogether the position is full OF inter-

Grosyeuor and Grow and Adams. Ii does
not follow necessarily that they must fol-
low that path into the Republican ranks or
to the support of the Administration. That
is an alternative which no Democrat and
very few patriotic Republicans would care
to contemplate. We see growing up in both
parties Republican and Democratic, be-
lief that the questions to be decided at
the next canvass for the Presidency are Of

TIE Wall street sharks are the
men who feel the deepest interest in
the wild schemes Of Allen, Carey &
Co., of Ohio. While the currency Of
the country has 10 fixed value, and is
constantly fuctuating,they can carry
on their gambling operations success
fully. Place the currency on q SOLID
foundation. so that when the farmer,
the mechanic, the day laborer and the
man of small means gets a dollar he
knows that it is dollar, and that its
value can not be affected by sharpers
and spectators, and then business
will revive and its beneficial effects
will be generally felt. But leave the
currency in condition that its value
may be raised or deprecated, to suit
the interest of stock gamblers, who
make their money by their wits, you
have the poor man in q condition that
he will remain poor, and will always
be the slave of the class before men,

The idea that the volume of cur.
rency must increase every year with
the increase in population is pro.
nounced by Amasa Walker a great
popular error. He says that the vol.
ume Of money in circulation in Eng,
land was but S5.OOO,OOO greater in
1874 than it was in 1920, though in
the fifty years the population nearly
doubled. His theory is that the ia.
cilities for exchanging money and
transacting business multiply faster
than population, and that the volume
Of currency never keeps pace with
population. His argument seems
plausible. The telegraph and fast
railroads, and increased banking ac.
commodations Of to-day, greatly facil.
itate business transactions and make
the actual transfer Of money less FREE
quent. During the recent panic in
California its progress was checked
promptly by the transfer by tele-
graphic order Of millions in gold from

The above we clip from the yester.
days issue of the Age, and it is n fair
sample Of the style Of argument of
the infationists. Now, the bonds of
the United States by the implied con-
tract at the time of sale and 10y the
Act Of March, 1869, are payaJle,
prHcipd and interest, in gold, there
fore, the bondholders need not rely
upon 1.-THE resumption Of specie pay
ments to get their gold. They al
ready have the faith Of the Govern
ment pledged by solemn enactment
to pay their bonds in gold. What we
want now is to make the money Of
the former and the mechaHic as good rs
the jondbo,ler. We are opposed to
paying the farmer for his wheat and
the mechanic for his labor in ire
deemable paper money, and the bond
holder his interest in gold. We were
compelled to agree to pay the bonds
in gold. The Government was in des.
perate straits when JEFF. Davis and
his soldiers were trying to overthrow
it. Our Union soldiers had to be
clothed and fed, and in order to do
that IRE had to borrow money. But the
money of other nations is gold and
silver. Capitalists in Europe would
no. loan us money unless we would
agree to pay it back in money they
could use. The Government was as
sailed by q wicked rebellion and could
not bubble about its loans. 1t was
compelled to borrow where it could.
Therefore, the bonds are payable in
gold. Now, as we are in honor bound
to that contract, we want to make all
our money as good as the bondhold-
ers'. The farmer above all others is
interested in this, because he will get
just as much for his wheat in gold as
in paper money. We proved this the
other day by figures which we defy
the Age to controvert. When we hear
farmers and mechanics talking about
initiation we know they have been
misled. They, above all Others,
ought to want their earnings paid in
gold, and they can have it so without
taking upon themselves any extra
taxes or hardships. We have passed
through the toughest of the road to-
ward permanent prosperity and hard
money, and those who propose to
throw the country back only to force
it to travel soon again through
the troubles we have experienced
since the panic of 1878, are the very
worst enemies the farmers and work.

was made in San Francisco. The
more stable the currency, the greater
is the confidence in the commercial
world and the less actual money is
handled. With such n currency its
volume will regulate itself, and twill
not keep pace with the growth in
population. When millions of cur.
rcncy is lying idle or loaned at short
interest there is no reason in the claim
that more money is needed.
The circulation Of paper money
and coin in 1859 was Gs.3OG,OOO.
Our population was then 3O,j9G,OOO,
or $3.50 pea copito. In 1874 our circu
lation was S911,jsS 900. or S2L9O per
capita The year 1859 was one of
great prosperity. We had money
enough then to transact the business
Of the country. and no one for q mo-
mant then clamored for more. But
in 1874. although the volume Of cur
rency was very much greater than in
1859, business stagnation prevailed.
If "more money makes better times"
why was not 1874 more prosperous
than 1859? II more money" is all
thatis needed. why is it that now in
this year OF 1873. when all restric-
tons are removed, and national bank.
ing associations can be organized
wherever money is in demand. we do
not find capitalists ombarking in the
banking business. especially when
our Democratic friends say it is
so profitable? Such facts
ought to show every honest.
impartial man that the want of
the country is not "more money!"
but better money and restored conf
dence. The trouble is, that this, the
course of Ohio and Pennsylvania
Democrats has created such a dis
trust as to the future financial legisla-
ton Of Congress, that men of means
will not invest their money only in
such way as to keep it under their
immediate control. They will not
loan it out except on very short call.
Such fears keep capital out of invest.
ments in manufacturing and indus
tries Of every kind. Remove this
distrust, and give us a dollar worth as
much now as it will be in six months
or six years, and the money boarded
in banks and locked up in bonds will
be put in circulation, and then we
will have flush times" sure enough.

OUR confidence in the triumph of

underestimate the cunning and force
of the initiation cry. In seasons of
depression, when men feel discour-
aged over business reverses and are
in no humor to calmly inquire into the
causes Of their misfortunes, they are
apt to seize eagerly at the first plaus-
IDLE remedy offered them. With zeal,
perseverance and ability worthy of a
better cause, the Democratic leaders
have cried aloud day and night in the
streets, shops, and along the high
ways Of Ohio "more money" "the

nized the charm Of such appeals, but
our confidence in Republican success
has been based on the Intelligence.

had their day of Boosting, and not
without reason. But our advices,
private and otherwise, are that the
darkest day has passed, and the
dawn is breaking upon the honest
money leaders.
The issue is without exception, the
most important presented to the
people Of any State since the war
issues were decided. 1t is the turn.
ing point in the great battle for honest
money and national prosperity. If

battle is transferred from Ohio to the
entire country, with the chances
largelyin favor Of the repudiationists.
The prospect Of stamping out the in.
cendiary fires at the outset is there.
fore one which all honest men should
hail with qualification. We may be
mistaken in the signs Of the times as
we give them elsewhere, but to us It
seems as though there was no longer
