between the Wing and Democratic party.
General Jackson is reported as having
said in 1888:
Tho true constitutional currency is gold
and silver coin. It can cover and protect
the labor of our country and regulate wages
without the aid Of q national bank.
Mr.. Benton said to our Southern Statee,
to the whole cotton, rice, tobacco and sugar
regions .0w so grievoMsly affected Nth the
curses Of the paper system, to all this region
would say, study the financial systems Of
Holland, France and Cuba, follow their ex.
ample, emulate their solid currency. 1mi-
tate them, to the other States ! would say
do the like.
Senator Walker, represented to have
been supereminent Democratic carpet
Dagger, who preached reputation for q
season in Mississippi, and afterward re-
turned to his own place, said:
am against the whole paper system.
Let us contrast the condition of the
island of Cuba, upon our very borders,
with that of our own country. In Cuba
the currency is wholly metallic.
He declares himself opposed
ON these principles to any paper money
system, State or federal.
Mr. Buchanan argued that the wages
of labor were better and better assured in
Germany
Where the currency is purely metallic
He argues that the redundancy fhodie in
tlatioD] of our currency is equal to q
premium Of one hundred per cent in favor
of the manufacturer.
The Picayune vii perceive that with the
Democracy, specie or its equivalent in
paper is the true basis of labor compensa-
ton. This is principle. With those
who opposed the Democratic principles
the system of currency was but a measure
of national policy. Upon this reasoning,
how can a person who advocates re-
dundancy of currency be in the minority
of the Democratic party? Such person
is not in the Democratic party at all. He
belongs to the band which Democracy
fought, and would have been cast and
kicked out of any Democratic convention
by jackson, Benton, Walker, or the thou
sand strikers who echoed their words and
enforced their mandates.
With the Republican party there is no
principle involved in the mode of cur
rency. They have moved for an early re-
sumption, on the policy that it will ap-
preciate values, and so elevate the obliga-
tons Of the government in the markets of
the world Democracy has no right, on
principle, to permit the heresy OF what
Mr.. Buchanan called redundancy" and
Governor Allen terms ''ip fation." No
man can be true Democrat and an infa-
ZIONIST and the idea of having majority
of hard money men, with a minority Of
rag mill followers, is a device to unite
men of all opinions by giving dispense
ton for any opinion, in carrying out the
only principle which Democracy has
never modified or abandoned, ITO the
victors belong the spoils."

UNCONSCIOUS or INCAPABLE.

The Picayune complains that we adopt
"a plan more ingenius than ingenious" in
this: That we have charged dereliction
Of principle in advising the Democratic
party to recognize equally the hard money
and imitation sections of the party. We
reiterate the opinion, and will prove our
charge by the Picavune itself. That paper
says:
1t ought to be known to the REPUBLICAN,
that the infatiOnists are in the minority IN
the Democratic party, and that remarks ad-
dressed to them are not intended for 1.-The
Democracy" There was once considerable
initiation element in the Republican party
alsn, but that element has had the good
sense to recognize the inevitable, and to
yield to the views of the majority of the
Organization. That is just what we have
been exhOrting Democratic iuf1atiOnists to
do.
1t is historically known that the DEM
ocratic party advocated an exclusive
specie currency, and subsequently con-
sented to accept currency Of paper con-
vertible at par into specie.
Their reason for advocating this doc
trine was one which commended itself to
all who cared tor the welfare of the people.
It was intended that the laborer should be
paid for his toll in medium universally
acknowledged as of equal value.
The whole argument of this true De-
mocracy was that any paper currency,
either by its direct discount or indirect
effect in increasing prices, diminished the
lawful compensation of labor. This was
an argument of great weight, and those
who advocated it deserve respect. They
even hesitated to accept national progress
under . system Of credit lest the wages Of
labor should be thereby impaired in their
value.
'The price Of labor" was the question

AN ESTABLISHED POLICY INDISPENS-
ABLE

We presume no one who really desires
the honor and duration of this republic
will dissent from the proposition that the
conductors of the government must avow
some settled principles of national action.
For every vessel departing on voyage
there must be destination; there must
be, also, the instruments and practical
skill necessary to the direction of the ves-
sci. Assuming the Republican party to
have established the principle of national
unity and popular sovereignty, to have
conducted the domestic and foreign
policy Of the government so as to
have secured the respect Of foreign
powers, the restoration of federal credit
and the employment Of national industry,
the question arises, why change this
established doctrine vary this sue
cessful policy? The reply may come
from the opponents of the Republican
party, because out of more than 10000
employees entrusted with the performance
of subordinate duties, there have been
some hundred, more Or less, proven I'M
worthy. This would be equivalent to say
ing that if under our marine metaphor
there should be found men before the
mast who had broken into the cargo, or
an officer who had violated the rules of
the ship, the voyage would be failure.
We persist in the opinion that no party
could have administered the vast trust of
the republic with more fidelity and with
smaller percentage of official abuses in
separable from the performance of duties
so multiplied and so complicated. We
repeat that no party has ever been so scru-
pulously scrutinized, not merely by its
opponents, but by its own administration;
and we deduce the irrefutable assertion
that party SO expurgated presents to the
people better field of official relations
among those who have stood this scrutiny
than any party possibly could which has
been subjected to no such scrutiny and
undergone no such expurgation.
If it be conceded that this nation enter
ing upon the second centennial term of
its existence requires a political destina-
ton, with chart for its guidance, we ask
what substitute is offered by the anti-Re-
publican party for the doctrine and meas
ures OF administration which have pre-
vailed during the last four terms of execu-
tive service?
It is affirmed that the Republican ad-
ministration has been corrupt. We claim
its entire vindication from this charge, on
the grounds stated. A government so
successful in peace and war; so strong in
its character and credit at home and
abroad, can no more be impaired in it's
strength than would : sane and healthy
bedy be paralyxsd by tho vermin which
