From the Messenger France-Americain.
Marie Gauthier, a rich heiress, between
fifteen ard sixteen years of-age,, who
lived with her parents at st. Medard,
was the object of many hopes among the
single young men of the nelghborhoCd.
In addition To these, one especially IN.
eligible sighed for the gilded beauty. His
name was sTheophile Parceau, his age
eighteen, and his parents were humble
cultivators of small farm. His educs-
ton had been good, but feeling that he
eouid not hope toiobtain the consent OF
the girls father, he entered his household
as a servant, with view OF daily being
seen and heard by ,Mithin month
the heiress received his declaration and
warmly responded atoit, and the, couple
eloped. a....-, ..-L-
Theophile had made eonfidant of
young man, Jules Gatinaud, who was
engaged TO marry his sister, and seeking
the couple IN their retreat, he told .hem
that the police were searching for them,
and that there was no alternative but a
temporary separation. He advised The
ophile to escape, and offered to carry
lille. Gauthier back to her father. The
ophile acted upon his advice, but Gait
maud, instead Of performing his promise,
took the young lady to a wayside tavern,
and thence, on the next day, to his
fathers house. and requested the latter
to call On Mons. Gau.hier and offer to
find his daus hter II he would promise to
give her hand to his son. But Gauthler
refused.
Mile. Gauthier was, however, soon
discovered and taken home. Iheophlie
was also found, and both he and Gatl.
maud were arrested. The parents OF
Gatinaud were likewise arrested, but they
were acquitted. Theophile was con-
demned to two years imprisonment, and

NOBLE UTTERANCES.

Peter Cooper. in his brief speech at the
Cooper Institute meeting: struck the key
note of the platform on which the lnde>
pendent party makes this campaign,
when he said:
OF one tact you may rest assured. 1t
is this: There is but one great remedy
for the financial troubles and the distress
now prevailing in this country; and the
remedy lies in the just and proper action
OF the government in reference to the
important question OF money.
And in another equally eloquent pass
age he expressed the true aspiration OF
every loyal heart in the Union:
Hong to see the day when Z: govern.
mental policy shall be adopted that will
secure the rewards Of labor to the heads
and hands that earn them; when the
establishment ofjustice shall be made to
promote the general welfare Of this great
andl glorious country, and when the
people themselves shall become con>
scious of tho truth that y government
will be Just what we, the people make it

.There isn't u nation in Europe that
wouldn't look with scorn upon country
which would deliberately go to work to
repudiate 20 per cent. OF its obligations
by authorizing the payment OF its debts
in ! currency that is that much cheaper
than the contract called for. ."-Pioneer-
Press Tribune.
What abominablc lying. The bonds
were made payable in gold and silver
coin. Is.it any re pudiation TO pay them
in gold and silver? And if silver is
worth 20 per ct. less than it was five
wears ago is it not because the bondhold--
ers themselves bought an act through
Congress to dcmonetize il?
Moreover, silver is still money IN
every nation in EuropeO except Eng
land and Prussia.
Moreover, if silver is worth less now
than it was when the bonds were issued
the remedy is plain, add 50 many more
grains OF silver to each coin and thus
eaualize the difference. Why demone'
tie silver altogether Simply TO make
gold more valuable. and thus increase
the wealth of the creditor and the liza
bilities OF the debtor. and make the rich
richer and the poor poorer

THE PRESSURE INCREASING.

Among the troubles of the hour is
what to do with ones money. 1t is not
safe in the bank. Ihe trust companies
turn out to be vain things for safety. The
more real estate man has the worse he
is off. There have been great many
times in the last fifty years when people
could not make money with money to
make it with. The popularity Of this
panic is that you can do nothing with the
money. Noinvestment is safe, and mill
lions are now lying idle. The recent
furry in Wall street show this. Every>
body who could, have taken out their
money from real estate and put it into
stocks. Accrtain line OF stocks was con-
sidered as good as gold. This was es-
pecially true of coal stocks. All along
the line of the Lackawana and kindred
roads stock was held by well to do TAM
ilies with incomes from $4,000 to $780,
600 a year were made penniless. 1t is
said that if the great railroad men were
obliged to realize at once, a larger part
OF the so.called millionaires w0uld be as
poor as their neighbors. Nearly all our
heavy companies, if obliged to throw their
real estate on to the market, would find
themselves in bad way.-New York
Letter to the Boston Journal.
'sOn with the dance, let joy be uncon-
fined" Keep up the pressure; turn
down the screw.
When England commenced to resume
specie payments her bank paper was
worth only five per cent. less than gold,
yet to overcome that five per cent. and
reach specie basis. she decreased the
value of all property in the kingdom fifty
per cent! and produced such suffering
that standing army of II 900 men had
to be raised to keep the starving people
in subsection.
Go ahead with the funeral gentlemen.

as well as anyone. Stand By your flag
and let the debtor class howl. Let US
resume, or if initiate; let the imitation
come through the time~honorcd channels
the bangs. In fact we don't object so
much to imitation, as to the manner of
doing it. Let the banks inflate: and
we will stand it until blown up like an
OK in new clover. Let the banks man>
age the contraction when they think it
profitable to prick the bubble, and we
are content. Our theory provides for
both schemes, so letus stand by our old
principles. Only let the bankers draw
their gold interest on the two billions OF
bonds, from the government. and their
double or treble interest on sixteen or
eighteen hundred millions from the
people with absolute power over infa>
ton and contraction, and iwont VIC be
happy? If we wont, somebody else
will, and why not the bankers?"
Now if all the people Of the 2nd Dis
trict could think rs clearly as that old
farmer neither Strait nor Wilder would
get one hundred votes in the entire dis
trict.
But the trouble is they can't or won't.

A FORTHCOMING ADDRESS.

Hon. Ebenezer Ayres has been ap'
pointed by the State Central Committee,
of the Independent party, to prepare an
address to the voters of the State.
The Independent party is made up OF
Door men, and the committee have no
funds to draw on, and no office-holders
to assess. We would therefore suggest
that all vino feel able to contribute any
sums large or small towards defraying
the cost Of printing and distributing this
address, should send them directly to
Mr.. Ayres at Cottage Grove. Every lit
tie will help. Money cannot be better
spent than in enlightening the voters on
the grave issues of the hour.

HOW PROF. SUMNER UNDER.
STANDS 1T.

Prof. Sumner, of Yale College, has
declared himself in favor OF Tilden and
Hendricks, and in very able and candid
letter, published in all the eastern papers,
nc gives the reasons which lead him to
that conclusion. Among them he shows
that Ii den really is contractionist, q
hard-money man ofthe hardest kind land,
for that reason Prof. Sumner supports
him. He says:
Il am, of course, utterly opposed to
the repeal OF the resumption act or any
part OF it, and disapprove Of any COM
cession on that point, in form. or SUBJ
stance, by Mr.. Tilden or anybody else
know that the soit>money democrats
have claimed that Mr. .lTilden has sur
rendered on the currency question, and
the republicans have hastened to accept
their authority as conclusive on that
point Mr.. Tilden's opinions on this
point are not new. nor were they first
placed before the public in his letter.
but il he does not in that document lay
down hard-money doctrines, then Ian
gaage has no meaning. and could not
express hard-money doctrines myself.
The soft-money men have. within year
or two, begun to use some hard-money
phrases in forced, artificial and impos-
sible applications. They find those
phrases in Mr.. Tilden's letter, and that
is the ground on which they claim his
surrender.
Mr.. Hayes has made 3 very distinct
avowal that be will resist the repeal of
the resumption act unless something bet-
ter is put in his place. and if he is elect>
! ed shall certainly await with generous
| confidence fulfillment of that pledge.
/ The difficulty is Just the one which seems
to me radical in his candidature. Be.
tween two candidates. one Of whom is
| recommended to me on the opinion u
his iriends, the other of whom has q
/ record OF action and achievement undeI
my knowledge and inspection, my mos
rational expectation. of such . perform
ance IS desire attaches 20 the latter ;
/ Which means that Tilden having urges

Of New York pay their debts and take,
in gold, he, Sumner, has more faith il
his carrying out the resumption act thai
he has in Hayes; who has not perform

Many are tempted to desire
or acquiesce in the demand Of the Fed
eral Government to put out new prom
ises to pay. The hope of benefits to any
class from such an unsound policy would
prove to be completely fallacious."
And not satisfied with the gold re-
sumption act passed by Congress he.
Tilden, procured and signed an act of
the Legislature OF New York still more
emphatic. Here 1t is:
..During the session of the New York
Legislature in 1875, Senator William
johnson, Democrat introduced bill
for resumption OF specie payment in
New York. The bill was passed and
was approved by Gov. Tilden. It is as
follows:
Chapter IS. An act to establish specie
payments on all contracts or obligations
in this State, and made alter January l,
1879.
Sec. l. All taxes levied and confirmed
in this State on and after January |,
1879, shall be collected in gold, United
States gold certificates or national bank
notes which are redeemable in gold on
demand.
Sec. 9. Every contract or obligation
made or implied and payable within this
State. and made or implied after Janu-
ary l, 1879, and payable in dollars but
not specified kind Of dollars, shall be
payable in United States coin of the
standard OF weight and fineness estab
lished by the laws OF the United States
at the time the currency or obligation
shall have been made or implied"
What Western man can vote for Til
den on any such basis?
Have we not trouble enough to pay
our taxes now, in greenbacks, without
being compelled to pay them IN gold?
Where would we get the gold? Or why
should we pay 10 or y per cent. more IN
the increased value of paper money, il
we cannot get the gold?
And why should we 10 obliged to pay
our debts, contracted mapY OF them in
greenbacks twenty, thirty or forty per
Ct. below par, in coin; and that coin
gold for silver is no longer money fol
any amount over FIVE dollars.

rate a complete cessation ofwork. The
first company to announce a suspension
was the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre coal
iron company, Il corporation that has, in
in CONJUNCTION with the Central railroad
of New Jersey, carried on lively and
prosperous business. tits reported the
company is financially embarrassed. hut
the report needs confirmation. The 81
600 miners and laborers of the company
in the Summit Hill region are thrown out
of employment. and the other $4,000
operatives in the Wyoming and Lacka-
wana districts will be fourloughed by
the close of tae week. The other heavy
mining and transportation companies
will adopt similar line Of policy as soon
as all arrangements are completed in
that direction.
At this time there are some sc, 900 col
liers unemployed, and q good prospect
of the army being increased at least 15,-
600 before long. In many of the more
isolated districts there is more or less
Molly Maguirisnl, and outbreaks may
occur at any moment as the feeling is
very bitter against the section of the
companies throughout the Summit Hill
region"
Is it any wonder that there are Molly
Maguires, arson and murder? Think ol
those Al, 900 men, with their wives and
children dependent upon them. looking
into the black face OF the coming winter.
with the pangs OF starvation gnawing al
their vitals.
1t is simply awful! Such conspiracies
against labor and human life ought to be
punished with death. What IS it tor few
murderers and robbers to ride into viii
lagelike Northfield and fight a duel with
the whole population? suppose they slew
a dozen men in their desperate raid ;Whal
is that dreadful rs tis, compared with
the cold-blooded conspiracy which turns
over $4,000 workmen, yes. perhaps
100000 men, women and children, to
cold and wet and hunger and nakedness
and starvation for six long dreadful
months? Cole Younger is chivalrie
knight OF the heroic age compared with
such lilly-livcred assassins.
And "in the peoples country" there is
no remedy tor such outrages!!
