(AIR-JOHN BROWN
Come rally for the Union boys, and sing
a jolly song;
Democracy's reviving, but its troubles
won't be long;
For the Hayes and Wheeler band, is many
amilliOn strong,
AS we go marching on.
Ch0rus-Glory, glory hallelujah, etc.
We have hoisted up a ticket, that is nigh
ty hard to beat,
Our candidates ARE men who have never
known defeat;
Wen furnish to the Democrats another
winding sheet,
AS we go marching on.
Chorus

man,
But he's had too much to do with the
thieving New York clan
For us to make him now our nations

kite begins to sail,
A silver mounted head, and paper dol

With a twenty penny line, it will never

AS we go marching on.

So we'll Wheeler long our chariot, till the

And We'll make it hot for them, in the

When we hear men growing about
"hard times" "taxed to DEATH" corrupt
parties running the country" etc., we al
ways feel like asking them if nine-tenths
of our people are not better off, especially
in the west, to-day, than they were l6
years ago when Republicans assumed the
reins of government. The answer cannot
be anything but yes. One man said tc
US few days since, in answer to the
above: eyes, but we have worked fol
it." Exactly. No man is entitled to sue
cess unless he works. The farmer works
at his plow, the blacksmith at his forge
the lawyer in his Office, the printer at his
case, but all work, and as a class, worl
hard, and except an occasional case where
suffering from some calamity, those who
,eort are doing WE'LL Do you honestly be-
lieve there is one man in ten, who ha:

you to grumble about? Then you hat

A short horse is soon curried. The en-
bers of the Democratic party have flicker
ed up this once and there seemed enough
of breeze to kindle the feeble flame into
something like conAagration. By their
own awkward work the embers have again
been put upon the dying spark, and in
November not even coal will be left
Bold, audacious, demented, political de
bauchery has done the business, and the
procurers who sold, delivered, and got
their price at Springfield may retire on
their spoils.

Says he 81 cannot get any coffin for you
for they won't allow it"

"Do you want to know anything about
the other men who were assassinated the
same day?"
She was told to go on with her sad
story.
"Well this was the 9th of September,
1875: After Mr.. Haffa was gone, the
colored people there said: we have
lost our best friend | would like to see
any one come to my house in as brutal
manner as they did the Squire's." The
names of the people who said this were
Stevens. His wife said, i must 60 home
He says to her, Yes you had better go
home, for | will be the next one.'
Mr.. Whitehead said: Dole, you better
be careful how you talk, or the men will
be after you
So about 3 o'clock these men came
back to see if Mr.. Haffa was gone, and
they were looking like hungry wolves
the most fiendish looking men l ever saw.
They said:
ANY colored people secreted about
your premises here?'
Says l, No sir
There was nobody in the house then
but my children and Mr.. Haffa's corpse.
| said: There is nobody here; but you are
privileged to come in and examine the
premises and look up the chimney"
Two of them alighted and came in and
looked around, and they said that was all
that they wanted to know
They went over to these colored peo-
pies houses and took the Stevenses--
father and son-out and stood them on a
stump and shot them and killed them
instantly
They did not give them any warning any
more than they did Mr.. Haffa, when they
came in the house and took him out.
They said they had large days work
on hand, and that they had to commence
early, and during that day they perpetrst-
ed number of murders They were
after Senator Caldwell, but l don't know
whether they got him at that time or not
The Stevenses were Republican lead
ers, and SO was Caldwell, who was brutally
murdered some time afterward.
Mr.. Whitehead then gave me ten days
notice to leave, and so the colored people
harbored me-
Mr. Haffa was buried in rude box
and yet the white people and my son went
along. He was just wrapped up in 9
sheet-they would not allow it in any
other way.
Mr.. Whitehead said l must leave, that
we were looked on as spies here. The
colored people harbored ME until got 8
conveyance 10 take me to the depot.
They disarmed all the colored people
through the country there-took their
arms from them, and would not allow
them to have any; and before left the
depot they made the colored people break
uptheir (Republican) clubs, and every ont
of them joined the Democratic clubs
they compelled them to do SO at peril ot
their lives.

leave everything; had not even chang

We cornered Democrat the other day
(good deal like cornering a skunk you will
say), and made him acknowledge that
they were playing on the credulity and ig-
norance of certain class of persons, by
representing to them that the resumption
act means the abolition of all paper mon
ey, andan attempt to dobusiness on coin
alone. He acknowledged it was little game
and that it was a Misrepresentation, but
said they could make capital out of it,
and that was what they wanted. Now
any intelligent man can see in moment
that no such a thing was thought of for a
moment when the resumption act was
passed. In fact resumption means to
make what paper money we have now in
circulation worth II per cent more, and
that is all. There will be no contraction,
no depression, but rather fair value for
everything and all business on a firm
foundation. when greenback dollar will
be as good as gold one, not only at
home, but in every market in the world.
Is that not what we all want? Most as.

only one that can give it to you.

The above statement of the circulation
of paper currency may be accepted as re-
liable, as the figures have been revised
and corrected from official records. 1t is
more difficult however, to give the exact
amount of specie in circulation at any
specified period. This is owing mainly to
the fact that portion of the silver and
gold coiu is annually melted and used in
the trades, and for other purposes. The
following figures are, however, accepted
at the Philadelphia mint, and in official
estimates, as being nearly correct:

Here it is shown that while the sircula-
ton, per capita, was 1880 in 1854, and
only 1880 in 1869, it went up to 21.96
in 1874, from which there is little or no
variation to-day-demonstrating the fact
of larger circulation now, by about 25
per cent, than at any former period in
our history. The following tables will en-.

OUR CURRENCY.
Its Volume and Character.

The Republic.
The question of Currency is not neces-
sarily complicated one; nor should it be
difficult to comprehend and apply, in its
bearings upon the business and industrial
interests of society. Yet the public mind
is divided upon the subject, and it is made
prominent issue some of the most impor-
tant election campaigns.
In view of these facts, it is the pur
pose of the writer to present few brief

every intelligent reader to arrive at cor
rect conclusion on the subject.

A hurricane or tornado among the ele
ments of nature can never occur without
adequate cause. So in financial circles q
money stringency or panic is precipita,

in their results as the laws that govern o

The country has suffered during the
last twenty-four months, and is still suf
fering, though less severely, from the eff
fects of financial crisis, which has beer
attributed by certain class of thinkers
or rather of thoughtless individuals-tt
an insuficiency of currency. Can thii
position be logically sustained? Let u!
look at the facts and to do so, it will b
necessary to 60 little into historical fig
ures. Before the war there was little OF

THE PRESS ON SAMPSON.

Judge SIMPSONS nomination was so
much matter of general expectation that
there was little apparent interest in the
Convention.
The Judges course since in Congress
has been aprudent one He has not been
an active talking member but faithful
working member, always at his post, and
at all times aiming as best he could to
serve his constituents. His vote against
the repeal of the Resumption act is in ac
cordance with the general policy of our
party, yet is not approved by large por-
ton of his constituents, who look upon
that act as affecting injuriously the inter
ests of the West and as being opposed to
the wise policy Of letting our financial
enigma work out its own solution accord
ing to the natural laws of trade, without
the interference of legislative tinkering.
The Judge has probably voted as any
judicious Republican would have done
under the circumstances, and holds him.

Hon. E. S. Sampson, the present rep
resentative in congress from this district
was re-nominated by acclamation at the
congressional convention held at Os-
kaloosa last week. Many friends of
Gen. j. B. Weaver, of Davis Co., urged
HIM to come before the convention for
the position, but he declined. Judge
Sampson is good and able man, and he
will be elected to second term by q
larger majority than he had oyer Gates at
the last congressional election in this dis
trict.

The movement in the Sixth Iowa Dis.

Sampson for Congress on account of his

Oliver, are in agreement upon this ques-
tion.
