THE ADJOURNMENT or CONGRESS.

Congress has adjourned.
The Senate was largely Republican !;
the House largely Democratic.
What have they done for the people?
The Democratic House is entitled to
the thanks Of the people for reducing
this years expenditures more than thirty
millions of dollars. Very good!
The Democratic House has also passed
bill TO strike out the date Of specie
resumption in the Sherman act. Very
good, as far as it goes. The Republican
Senate has refused to pass that bill. For
this it deserves universal cxecraticn at
the hands OF an impoverished and suffer-
ing people.
Why did not the Democracy 20 far
ther? Why did they stop at merely
striking out the date OF resumption and
yet leave the rest Of the act to accom-
plish its destructive work?
Why did they permit the. work Of with>
drawing the greenbacks and substituting
national bank notes in their place 70
continue under that act? That measure
alone will increase the taxes Of the peo-
pie twenty millions of dollars annually.
Why did they permit the Secretary Of
the Treasury to retain the power, which
he has under that act, OF selling gold
bonds in Europe and with the proceeds
forcing specie resumption at once?
II you, reader. were in the hands Of q
mob. who had resolved to hang you on
the lst of November next. what would
you think of those who would, while pre-
tending to be your friends, leave you in
the hands Of that mob. 10 hang you next
week, or st any other time except the
1st Of November?
Wherein does Gov. Hayes differ from
the Democracy? He is willing to strike
out the date Of January lst 1879, In that
act, provided an earlier date is substI>
tuted. The Democracy vote to strike out
that date and leave the Secretary Of the
Treasury with power to resume at an
earlier date.
.Taus you the mighty difference see,
Twix, tweedle-dum and sx eedle-dse.''
Why do the Democracy thus halt .

cause they are dominated in the east By
capitalists. who rule the party AZ they

The widest imitation Of the national bank
notes is provided for in the resumption
act, which both parties are in favor Of,
differing only as to the time when the
work shall be completed. Ishall avail
myself ot.an early opportunity to print
an address to the people Of the United
States, showing the causes which have
brought business men to the verge Of
bankruptcy, and the working classes to
starvation causes which, fleft to ope-
rate, must result in financial embarass-
ment and ruin to individuals, to corpora
tions, to municipalities, to the states and
to the nation showing also that the pol

one that can bring salvation. Even If We
do not obtain complete success. We shall

succeeds in the election. and thus prevent
its accomplishing thep urpose to which
both are now pledged.

THE WHAT is III.

Mr.. Dnnnell voted in favor Of making the
silver dcllar legal tender. He voted right
Congress has no constitutional right to coin
money and declare it not legal tender. Neith-
er ought they to coin eighty cents worth of sill
yer into one peice and stamp it one dollar. Il
is fraud and swindle whoever may be ~
spoasible for it.-ST. CHARLES nAEs.

And what is it to put two cents worth
Of nickel into y coin aud call it five cents:
And what is it to put sixty cents worth
of silver into another coin and call it \
dollar? And what is it to issue = national
bank note worth eighty eight cents and
call it \ dollar? Aud what is it to prin,
y sheet OF paper worth i've cents and
call it = thousand dollar bonde
Why are the Republican party silen,
as to all these things and vociferous only
as to the greenback? Is It because the
people have the greeabacks tree OF
charge?
Why is there not \ howl raised against
national bank notes? They are irredeem-
able: they are worth just the same as
greenbacks they are rag money" dis

Republicans demand their withdrawal:

OF the universal poverty of the farming
class Of that great state. The last issue
Of the Helper bristles all over with
points, from which we quote the follow
ing:
It is time for the Independent State Conven-
vention to be called. Where are you, Chair
man Sinnett?
In first column see call for independent con-
ventlOn, Jefferson county: Messrs. Daniel
Campbell, Frank Brown and D. P. Stubbs are
named as among the possible candidates. They
are all good men and We shall be glad to see
either one Of them put forward.
Is the Helper turning into political sheets
Just little; about as much as every farmer
ought to be a politician. Is it Republican?

or corrupt ring, see if it won't do its level
best to poke it up, no matter what party it be-
longs to,
The recent vote in the House on the repeal
ofthe resumption act Is significant and q notice
to all Independents that neither the present
incumbents nor anybody Of like principles can
be trusted to carry out their views. From the
Iowa delegation one, democrat, voted for re-
peal. six against it, and two lodged.

1t is high time that the members Of Congress
should be made to understand that they are

in accord with any decided majority Of theil

whatever difference Of opinion may exis

certain that most Of them regard the RESUMPTION
act as both useless and mischievous. Yet si1

against its repeal. One Of them, Judge Samp.

The value ofsilver in 1872 was greater
than it was in 1862, but the bond-hold-

Detroit Reform.

1t has so happened that a certain De-
troit policeman has arrested certain
rough character named Pious Jim
five different times, and that the fellow
has been heavily fined or sentenced tc
the house of correction each time. Three
or four days ago /" Pious Jim came out
of prison on his last sentence, and hunt
ing up the officer, said
"Ive made change in my life. I'm
going to be good after this. :" 80.
The officer congratulated him on his
new departure, and promised his moral
aid to assist him. Jim said that he had
planned to get married the next evening,
and he stuck and hung until the officer
agreed to be on hand and stand as his
right-hand man. He received directions
how to reach the house, and next even
ing approached it at the hour agreed
upon. The blue coat was picking his
way through the alley when frozen
cabbage struck him on the mouth. He
started to run, thinking of the flesh
shower in Kentucky, when deluge Of
old oyster cans came pelting down, a
brick cut hole in the back of his head,
ard pail of cold water came over the
fence and drenched him to the hide.
He went out Of the alley on gallop,
followed by more frozen potatoes, and
as he sat down on a crosswalk to bind
up his head the voice of "Pious
Jim came to him through the darkness,
saying:
