"A Word of Warning TO Republicans.
There is story going the rounds OF the
newspapers that when Mr.. Wheeler, the
Republican candidate for the vice presi
dency, made one Of his bloody shirt"
speeches the other day in Vermont he
disguised so many Republican voters that
the usual party majority in the place was
considerably lessened OF election day. We
do not know whether the story is true or
not. though 1t is fact that the Republi
cans lost somewhat this year in Vermont
from their vote Of previous years. But
whether true or false in that specific in
stance it is undoubtedly true that the ex-
hibition OF the conspicuous bloody shirt"
in this campaign will lose many thousand
votes to the Republican party. 1t ought
TO and it will. There are sections Of the
country where this issue may be brought
up to alarm and excite ignorant voters
but take the northern states at large and
the mass of Republican voters. who are in
the main thoughtful and sensible men. and
the cry OF southern outrages and of danger
from the south or in the south will lose the
party more votes than it will gain.

Who Pays Carl schurz's Expenses

In view of the peculiar part taken by
Mr.. Schurz in this canvass, it is not inap
propriate to ask, who pays his expenses?
1t meyer occurred to US that he could have
entered the field in the service and pay of
Mr.. Zach. Chambers congressional com
mittee, until it was suggested by the story
that this committee had reprimanded him
for his attacks on the administration; and
even now we can scarcely believe that Mr..
Schurz would consent to be a stipendary
of the very machine politicians whom be
is deriding If he is being paid for his
services, oil ( he is being reimbursed for
his expenses by this committee, or by any
other of the regular committees, he must
know that the money comes from assess.
ments on the federal officials and en-
ployes; and it is inconceivable that Mr.
Schurz would accept the product of that
prostitution of the civil service which he is
denounclng-that he would receive money
wrung from the federal officials. to whose
emancipation" he pledges Gov. Hayes.
Mr.. Schurz has committed very grave
fault in takiOg the field for a candidate
whom he solemnly pledged himself to the
American people not to support; but we
are not prepared to believe him capable Of
the still graver offence of taking pay from
the party satraps he is holding up to pub
he ridicule and opprobrium. Who does
pay Mr.. Schurz's expenses psf. Louis

Hayes's Perjury and False Tax Re
turns.

During the income tax days Mr. Hayes
was citizen of Cincinnati and made re-
turn of his income in that collection dis
trict. Searching investigation has reached
pretty nearly the amount of his income
during those years and laudable curiosity
prompted examination of the returns thai
there might be instituted the same COM
parison as in Mr.. Tilden's case. The re-
turn is amongst the records in the Federal
Assessors office and on application being
made last week this officer refused to grant
access to the return
Now let us have that return, If it can
be had no other way let the Radical thief
who refuses to let it be seen be manda-
unused or proceeded against. 1t is pub
lie record and the refusal is confession
that there is something very rotten in Mr..
Hayes income return.
Mr.. Hayes's party began this warfare
and the Democrats propose to give them
enough it.
Let us have Hayess income return
Out with the recordl
| The gravity OF the accusations against
Hayes is intensified in the public mind by
the very apparent reluctance with which
his most resoute adv ersaries have consent
ed 70 examine his record. He has been
so generally regarded as an amiable, kind
ly gentleman, of no positive traits, good
or bad that the campaign would probably
have ended, as it began, with only the
most courteous illusions to him had the
apologists Of party corruption, who sup
port him, been content to conduct the can
vass in anything like decent methods. TC
assert dishonesty against man like Sam
uel j. Tilden, who has been 40 years il
the eye of his profession, his neighbors,
and the country, argued boldness in de
pravity and an indifference to public intel
ligence which no rational remonstranct
could be hoped to check. 1t has been Of
no avail to show the disreputable utterer,
of the grotesque SANDER, that the very
statements they print as conclusive O
Tilden's falsehood disprove the charge,
since the scamp who concocted the accus
alton carefully garbled the documents tt
make them seem to bear the false witness
which is alleged.

Ii is useless to argue with the soft-money
advocates. Logic runs off them like water
from n ducks back. Put "a many good sub
stantial facts in their way as you like, for the
purpose of tripping them up, and they skip
over them all with exasperating agility. They
fight a guerrilla warfare and you can never
hold them down to a fair combat. They dstort
history, pervcrt political economy, and impu-
IDENTIFY disregard all the axioms of finance which
the common sense of the world has accepted
for centuries. The most adroit and indefati-
gable of them all is the Hon. William ID.
Kelley. The total defeat of his ideas at the
elections last Fall has not slcnced him. lie
spoke at the Academy of Music in Philadel
pha last Saturday evening, and proved to his
own satisfaction, but not, We hope, to that OF
the merchants, bankers, and other business
men who listened to him, that it is "a mad
"absurdity" to talk of there being any such
thing as n money of the world that money is
whatever a government makes legal ten
der, and that nOn-eXp0rtable, irredeemable
currency convertible into 800 bond Is tho
panacea for all financial and industrial ills.
We have read this same speech great many
times and do not propose to answer its argu
ments again. 1t would do no good, for the
Judge would parade them before his next
audience just as If they were brand-new and
had not been knocked to pieces at least a hun
dred times. There are one or two statements
in the speech, however, so misleading, and we
might say 60 uncandid, that We cannot pass
them over.
Judge Kelley attributes the stagnation In
trade from which Germany is now suffering to
the action of her Government in substituting
o gold currency for the old non-exportable
medium Of silver. He reads number of
extracts from English papers to show the
bad condition of affairs in tho Empire, but
unfortunately neglects to strike out this
sentence from his quotation from The

COTHJTND DEFEAT

The Democratic party has taken pains to
analyze itself It's vote in the House makes it
no longer possible to pretend that the party
means to defend solemn pledges Of the public
faith, or to restore the currency to a specie
basis. 4 minority of the Democratic members,
it appears from the vote, will refuse to repeal
the Resumption act OF 1875 unless in con-
nection with new measures which they deem
effective to secure resumption. But large
majority of them vote to repudiate the pledge
of resumption without any conditions what
ever. Precisely what the Republicans have
claimed-that the Democratic party could not
be trrls.ed to restore an honest currency or
maintain the public faith-Alr Holman and
his supporters have taken the pains thus early
to prove.
On Monday Mr.. Holman moved to suspend
the rules and adopt resolution declaring it
"unwise and inexpedient at this time that a
"specifc and arbitrary period" for resump-
ton should be fixed, and therefore instructing
the Committee to report bill repeating that
act. This resolution divided the Democrats Of

Austria has had non-exportable cur

II IA composed wholly Of deprecated
paper, and the economists OF that country
who have probably never read Judge helleyS
speeches, think that it was the cause OF the
crash of 1873 and Of tho hard times that
have followed, and they wish to get back to
specie payments as soon as possible. No SEN
sblo man can be found in that country who
does not envy tho financial condition OF Ger
many. and wish that his own country could
put her circulating medium upon
gold basis. Turning to France as
the "only prosperous commercial anu
manufacturing nation in the world" the
Judge actually has tho assurance to say that
her flourshing condition is owing to the issue
of 5000, 900, 900 of incOnvertibe bank notes
during the German war. but he pnrposely mis-
leads his hearers by avoiding all mention OF
tho most important fact in French finances,
namely, the rapid contraction of this vol
ume of paper money, which began almost
as soon as the Prussians left Paris.
Tho French Government did the very
thing that Judge Kelley denounccs Sec
retary McCulloch for doing-contracted Its
war issues, and went straight back toward
specie payments If there is any force what
ever in Judge Kelley's logic, France ought to
be utterly ruined and bankrupt to-day, while
the prosperous nations should be Austria and
Italy, with their non-exportable currency. But
there is no force in it, and we regret to say
that there is not much candor either.
