POLITICAL.

It will be but few weeks at farthest
before the Republican voters of this coun.
ty will be called upon to designate can
didates for the various offices to be filled
by the November election. The party
long ago adopted the delegate system as
the most convenient and the most proper
substitute for the old.time mass meeting.
Primary meetings held in the respective
voting precincts offered the widest lati-
tude for the expression Of individual opin.
ion in the selection Of delegates. Every
Republican elector has right to 60 there
and cast his vote for the man of his choice
to represent him in the Convention OF
delegates which is finally to name the
standard bearers of the party. We have

say that prosperity can never be restored

tress on so vast number of the laborers
and business men of this country. Our
nations wealth must forever depend on
the application Of knowledge, economy
and well-directcd labor to all the useful
and necessary purposes of life.
The American people can never buy
anything cheap from foreign countries
that must be bought at the cost of leaving
our own good raw materials unused, and
our own labor unemployed.
I find myself compelled to believe that
much Of the past legislation of our coun-
try, in reference to Tariff and Currency,
has been adopted under the advice and
influence of men in the interests of for.
eign nations that have direct motive to
mislead and deceive US. Our prosperity
as nation will commence to return when
the Congress of our country shall assume
its own inherent sovereign right to fur.
nish all the inhabitants of the United
States redecmable, uniform, unfluctua.
ting national currency.
I do heartily agree with Senator Jones,
when he says that "the present is the &C.
ceptable time to undo the unwilling and
laundering work of 1873; and to render
our legislation on the subject of money,
consistent with the physical facts, concern.
ing the stock and supply of the precious
metals throughout the world, and con-
formable to the constitution of our coun.
try"
I sincerely hope that the concluding ad.
vice Of Senator Jones will make living
and lasting impression, when he says,
speaking to the present Senate-"We can
not, we dare not, AVOID speedy action on
the subject. Not only does reason, justice
and authority unite in urging US to retrace
our steps, but the organic law commands
US to do so; and the presence of peril en-.
joins what the law commando
The Senator states q most important
tact, and one that all know t be true,
that by interfering with the standards of
the country, Congress has led the country
away from the realms Of prosperity, and
thrust it beyond the bounds Of safety"
He says. truly, ito refuse to replace 1t
upon its former vantage ground would be
to incur responsibility and a deserved
reproach, greater than that which men
have ever before felt themselves able to
bear"
It will require all the wisdom that can
be gathered from the history and expert
ence of the past to enable Us to work out
our salvation from the evils that IN I'M.
wise legislation has brought on our coun.
try.
1t will be found that nothing short of =
full, fair and frank performance Of the
first duty epjoined on Congress by the
Constitution will ever restore permanent
prosperity to 10 ~ q nation.
The Constitution has made il tho duty
of Congress to enact the laws that are in
dispcnsable for the establishment of jus.
ticc, as the only possible means by which
the general welfare can be effectually pro-
noted.
Where power is given the duty is made
fairly to devolve on all who are sworn to
make or to execute the laws in accordance
with the letter aud spirit Of the Ccnstttu-
ton.
