WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 13, 1876,
another of The Reformer's Financial Ope.
rations--A Sad Story Of Southern Brt-
tally, etc.
The delectable, thimble rigging
financier, known US the Great Refor-
mer and Candidate for Presidency,
ut one time manifested himself to
the good people Of the keystone
State. Fifteen years ago, there was
an Iron Company in Clarion county
Pa, the style and title Of which was
the Brady Bend Iron Company. 1t
employed q large number of work
men who, in the aggregate, received
about 100000 o month. In 1862,
the owners of the mills wishing to
sell, a Mr.. Ogden of Chicago examin-
ed the works and said to the Super
iutendent that if he could got Sam
Tilden into the speculation lie could
make it pay.
Mr. Tilden visited the works as the
agent of Ogden, and advised their
purchase. They were secured for
the trihing sum Of $250,000. The
owners were embarrassed, and had
to make sacrifice. A stock COM
pany was formed, and Tilden became
its principal director. The stock
was placed at $500, 900 one-half of
which was to be working capital. In
the first year the company realized
a profit OF 100000. Tilden then
set to work to ruin the company,
and make fortune for himself. He
advised the company to issue $780,
900 OF first. t.mortgage bonds. II was
done. These bonds were distribut-
ed among certain Of Tilden's friends
lin the company. The stock was
then watsrsd up to 90 600, 900. Then
second mortgage bonds were issu-
ed to the amount OF 5000. .000
These bonds were issued by Tilden q
friends. The watered and valuelsss
stock was sold 10 sny one foolish
enough to purchase. The workmsn
invested their little savings in this
paper.

The Farmers Daughter.

She may not in the may dance.
With jeweled maidens vie
She may not smile on courtly swain
with soft bewitching eyes;
She cannot boast form snd mien
That lavish wealth has brought her
But ah J she has much fairer charms,
The farmers peerless daughter !
The rose and lily on her cheek
Together love to dwell,
Her laughing blue eyes wreathe around
The heart q witching spell!
Her smiles are bright as mornings glow
Upon the dewy plain.
And listninR to her voice we dream
That spring has come again.
The timid fawn is not more wild,
Nor yet more gay and free.
The lily's cup is not more pure
In all its purity;
or all the wild flowers In the wood
Or by the crystal water,
There's none more pure or fair than sh Q
The farmers peerless daughter.
The naughty belle whom all adore,
On downy pillow lies,
While forth upon the dewy lawn
The merry maiden hies
And with the lark's uprising song,
Her own clear voice is heard
Ye may not tell which sweetest sings,
The maiden or the bird.
Then tell me not Of jewels fair
The brightest jewel yet
Is the true heart where virtue dwclls
And innocence Is set
The glow Of health upon her cheek,
The grace no rule hath taught her,
, The fsirest wreath that beauty twines

seeching, in agoni zing tones, that
God would pity and save his suffer-
ing army and suffering country.
"Oh, would'st thou know his name
Who wandered thus alone !

The Prayer of Washington"
In the midst Of all this darkness
and suffering and almost dispair as
il on purpose to crush out one Of
the noblest hearts that ever beat in
q human bosom, q conspiracy was
set on foot in and out Of Congress
to disgrace him by removing him
from the head Of the army and com.
pei him to serve in subordinate
capacity. False charges were rails
ed forged letters were published !;
yet he bore all in silence, lest in de-
Tending himself he should expose
secrets that would injure his coun-
try. My Country" was ever op-
permost in his thoughts and dearer
to him than life itself. Xe could
say Of his country IA David did Of
Jerusalem IF l forget thee oh
my country. may my right hand
forget its cunning" He was great
''in the high places of the field,
amid the storm aud tumult of battle;
he was great aud noble rs head of
the nation but he was greater still
in this silent suffering at Valley
Forge.
But spring at length came and
with it partial relief, and such SOL
diers rs could were compelled to take
the field and, rs it wore on, news
was received that made these novels
ring with shouts and loud huzzas.
On the first day of May horseman
rode into the camp with tho tid:ngs
that France had recognized our in
dependence aud formed an alliance
with us, and that ships and troops
and money were on the way to our
relief Soldiers forgot their naked
ness and shook their rags, like ban-
ners in the air. Congress had ap-
pointed thanksgiving as they mov-
ed into Valley Forge which seemed
a mockery, but now they would have
one of their own. Washington issu-
ed proclamation, appointing the
7th on which ''to acknowledge tho
divine goodness and celebrate the
important event which we owe to
his divine interposition." A gene
raj parade of the army was ordered,
aud the several brigade chaplains
were directed to offer up prayer at
the head OF each brigade and deliver
sermon to the soldiers. And never
did more fervent acknowledgment
of divine goodness ascend to heaven,
and never more earnest appeals to
soldiers to stand true to their great
leader and their country then were
made that day by those patriotic
chaplains. When the religious sor-
vices were over the artillery thun-
dered forth its glad acclaim, answer
ed by the rolling volleys of musket-
ry, and "Long live Washington. y
and "Long live the King of France
again and again shook those rude
novels to their foundations.
AS Washington rode off the field
'Long live Washington rent the
air and continued to roll after him
until his lessening form disappeared
in the distance. Aye, long live
Washington and long live Valley
Forge in the memory and affections
of the American people until patrio
heart shall cease to beat.

THE cunning Tildenites tackled on
to their tony hard money platform a
facetious sop thrown to the soft mon
ey whale, by demanding the repeal Of
thai part of the resumption act of
1876, which fixes the time on the lst
of January, 1879, "because it ,cas a
hindrance to resumption" Gen. Tom.
Ewing opposed the majority report,
and offered a substitute for the re.
peal of the entire resumption act. In
support of this, he said that, since the
platform, as it stood, said the time,
January lst., '79, was hindrance to
resumption, one would naturally in-
fer that 1t was thought the time was
too long and that q shorter time
should be fixed, and that he did not
want to have any such lame place in
the platform. Furthermore, he said
that he wanted the whole resumption
act repealed, that anything else was
a cheat and a fraud. Ewing was
hooted down and his amendment re-
jccted by the Tilden vote. 1t was no
use for the minority to attempt TO say
a word in defense Of themselves
they were hootcd off the floor when
ever they undertook to speak. Such
o bedlam was never equalled save in
some former Democratic Conventions
the one at Charleston, in 1860, for
instance. So Tom Ewing goes home
to Bill Allen to say to him that the
Democracy, besides declaring for
hard money have also said that put
ting off resumption till 1879 is too
long, since they declare it is "a hin
drance to resumption" Ewing tried
to have the Tildenites say that this
was not the meaning of their resolu-
tion, and they would not.

Schell and Wattcrson sounded the
Keynote of the Democratic campaign
yesterday. II is to be long drawn
out and prolonged wall about taxes,
hard times, and corruption, which
will knock Jeremiah's lamentations
higher than kite. There will be two
sides to that wall.
We shall show that all the taxes
that are burdensome are local, county.
school and State, voted by the people,
and that more than half the states are
under Democratic control, and that
Democrats have been just as big fools
in voting taxes on themselves as Re-
pnblicans, and just as responsible for
the burdens Of taxation which are
oppressive. We shall show that the
General Government imposes no
burdensome taxation which is paid
by any but the rich, except it be 90
cents per gallon on whisky, and that
Democrats have no special reason to
complain of this tax, unless they will
plead guilty by admitting that they
are the principal consumers of this
commodity.
We will show that the country was
prosperous, and that we had no "hard
tines until the tidal wave gave the
Confederates majority in Congress,
with a prospect of assuming the rebel
debt. We shall show that even this
partial triumph of Democracy fright
encd capital, paralyzed business, and
that it is the Democratic, and not the
Republican party, which is RESPONSE
bic for the so-called "hard tines" So
come OH with your wall.

FOURTEEN TILDEN VOTES

DEAN was right. The Democrats
trot along under the Republican wag-
on like coach dogs. A reading of their
platform will show that they endorsed
everything done by the Republican
party for the past fifteen years. They
even endorse our platforms declara-
ton that officers should not be kicked
out on the change of Administrations,
for simply political reasons, although
Andrew Jackson was the first Pres
ident to inaugurate this rule, and
William L. Marcy formulated that
Democratic idea in the declaration
that "to the victors belong the spoils. {"
The difference, however, between
this new born Democratic preaching
and very recent Democratic practice,
was finely illustrated when the Con-
federate mob took possession Of the
House of Representatives and speed
lily emptied it, because most of its
officers had been MANNED in fighting
for their country, and filed their
places with such scurvy crew that
public opinion has compelled them
in turn, to kick out SO many of their
own appointments on account of their
manifest unfitness.
This resolution will last about one
week after the election of q Demo.
cratic President, if that event should
ever occur, which now, happily fol
the country, seems farther off than
ever.

In 1866 Anson Burlingame made a
commercial and political treaty with
China, which met with universal ap-
proval, and received the signature Of
a Democratic President. 1t was, as
non-partisan as the Ten Com
mandments, but under it's free trade
and democratic operations, Mongol-
ian immigration, Mongolian cheap
products, Mongolian cheap labor, and
Mongolian cheap prostitution is
breaking down the regular order oi
business on the Pacific slope, and
hence the Democratic platform de.
nounces the Republican party as the
author of the Burlingame treaty, and
demands a Chinese wall on the Pacific
coast, and a high protective tariff
against "Chinese Cheap Labor"
