10 wither and die under q relentless anG
scorching sun. The purchasing power o.
a dollar fs decreased In proportion 10 the
number Of dollars Issued. There can be
no return to the specie standard Of the
world excepting by q contraction oil our
redundant currency. The history oil
finance throughout all time is an indis'
rutable declaration Of this TACT. MI
Hendricks and his army Of initiation iol-
lowers seem never 70 have heard oil Con;
linental money, the French 3SSignas anu
the Confederate notes, which, IN escn
case. were to enrich the people, but
which ended in representing no greater
value than the price Of old rags at the
paper mills. When this country had oat
about S26O,OO0000 Of paper money T.
was par with gold, and Q dollar o. III II
would purchase a dollars worth Of lI3S
or tea In Europe or Asia. When lhe
Government issued 500, 900, 900 Of paper
crrrercv Il required two dollars 10 pnr-
oLase o1e dollars worth Of tea or coffee,
md when 5000, OOO, 900 were issued, gold
adyanced 10 2s5 per cent, and 1t required
three dollars Of paper money To buy as
much as one dollar 10 gold would pur-
chase. As contraction began and the fear
Of further issue OF paper money was
removed, gold declined, as may be seen
from the foregoing tables; the purchasing
power Of our circulating medium was in.
creased, and the nation now saves over
Sl5O,O00,0O0 yearly on It's foreign ex-
change. Mr.. Hendricks theory means
renewal OF this imitation burden aud an
indefinite continuation Of the impoyerish-
ing tax and tariff now placed upon us.
We are NOT surprised that the entire
banking interest, the bonded interest and
the moneyed interest Of the country are
alarmed at the proposition to repeal the
Specie Resumption act made at 81. Louis
and the declaration for initiation so boldly
enunciated by Mr.. Hendricks and num-
erous Western Democrats. As an evil
dence that capitalists do not look upon
such theories as groundless, we refer
readers TO our tables to show that an adj
yocacy OF them by Allen, Hendricks and
Cary, in Ohio, last year, caused an aver.
age advance on the gold premium Of 81
per cent. Were the people satisfied that
a wise system Of contraction and financial
would prevail, gold would not
be worth over 3 per cent premium, and
the country would gain Sl40, 900, 900 in
single year by SO much Of reduction.
This nation can never regain its prosper.
ity until it removes this $4,000, 900 tax,
which il is now paying to foreign nations
by reason OF narrow.minded obstruction
lists, who insist upon damning up its
financial streams with paper money, and
flooding its rich soil with devastating
showers Of rain and snow.

What Initiating the Currency Has
Cost the Country.
IBrNkIyu Argus

brooklyn ArgaHl
Four.fifths Of the voters Of the United
States desire as rapid return to the spe-
cie standard Of the world as possible.
Governor Hendricks and the other fifth
of the voters are imitation, rag.money
men. That there should be one, man in
the whole country, possessed Of ordinary
intelligence, who is willing to acknowledge
hisignorance Of this most important ques.
ton, and who will imperil public rep
u,ation by advocating the use Of degrad-
ed currency is incomprehensible. That
these Inlationists should be found in the
Western States is still more strange. The
nrice Of Indiana corn, Illinois wheat and
ohio pork Is regulated by London gold.
The European price must always be as
much less than the greenback price as
will measure the discount on paper dol
lar when converted into gold. With our
domestic exchanges it makes no difference
what prices are, II they be ad justcd
equally, The farmer Is not better or worse
off WHO sells a bnshel OF wheat for So and
then pays So for n barrel OF salt, than he
i. when he sells his wheat for 81 and can
purchase his salt for the 81 thus obtained.
But when II comes 10 our dealings with
foreign countries, to whom we sell our
products for gold; and to whom we pay
gold for what We purchase OF them, the
case is vastly changed. The amount oil
this nations loss, by reason Of its diluted
money standard, is represented by what
it sells to other nations and by what it
purchases OF them.
From January, 1862, when we COM
menced decreasing the value Of our mon
cy Currency by increasing its quantity,
to tho close Of 1875, the United States
sold to other nations domestic products
aggregating 50, 1921, 900, 1000, an average Of
SIZE, s57,O 900 per annum. During these
fourteen years the premium on gold has
ranged from l to 2S5 per cent, and has
averaged 30 per cent. The nation has re-
ceiyed 81, 728, 100000 less in gold, for the
products thus disposed OF to foreign
countries, than it paid for these products
in its own currency, an average loss oil
over Sl2S, 10000 per annum.
During the same years the United States
purchased from foreign nations merchan-
disc amounting to over SG,l52,00O,OOO.
For this vast amount Of merchandise the
nation paid an extra tariff, Units own cur
rency, Of thirty per ceRt, or total loss
Of over 81 ,5s7 900, 900, an average yearly
loss Of Sll3,O0O0oO.
The shrinkage in converting our OK
ports into gold, and the extra prices paid
Tor our imported goods, has, during these
fourteen years OF imitation, amounted to
the enormous sum OF S3,Sl0,O0G,SS6.
That there may be no misunderstanding
Of these ponderous figures, We append a
list of the exports and imports Of each
year since the Suspension of specie pay
ments, showing the average premium on
gold and the loss sustained on these two
items for each year ofiuAation

We are constantly in receipt of
letters from parties in various por-
tons of our country, asking for in
formation in regard to Lake county,
in order that they may be enabled
to decide as to whether they will
come and make their home with us,
or not. With u view of having an
answer ready for them at all times
VIC have prepared the following,
and intend to let it remain in the
STAR for some time to come--a
gratuitous publication for the gen
cral good. First, as regards tho
soil Of our county, we have a fine
variety, consisting of rich bottom
lands and the lighter, yet far from
worthless sandy soil ofvast"plains."
In the hard wood region We have
as fertile clay and gravel soils as
can be found anywhere. The prices
of unimproved lands range from
Six to Fifteen Dollars per acre,
according to quality and situation.

from Mississippi, at Washington,
tells the following in regard to the
voting in one District n-the State
named: early in the morning of
the election day about $500 ne
groes had assembled ut tho polls,
which were not yet open. The dis
trict is largely negro, polling about
$500 colored votes. Shortly be-
fore the time for opening the polls,
fifty White Liners, armed to the
teeth and carrying ropes, walked
leisurely to the polling place, when
one of their number acting as lead
er, said to the poll clerk: 'How
soon is the voting to begin?' 'In
about fifteen minutes was the an.
