GEN. BEN. HARRISON'S VIEW.

1t is to the interest Of every man
that we shall have a fixed and stable
currency. 1t is to the interest of
every man that the agitation of the
financial question shall como to an
end. No man knows under the pres
ent state of things what to do with
his business. AS long as it lasts
you will have periods that you think
are of prosperity, but which will al
ways be followed by periods of great
distress and stagnation of business.
Under the old State-banking law the
people who lost the money in the
period of its existence was the labor
ing man and the farmer. The money
broker didn't lose cent. and won't
now, for he can look out for financial
storms and save himself; but the la
boring man can't do it, and must
suffer when they come. The dollar
of the workingman ought TO be the
same as that of every other man, aDd
we can't have fixed times of business
prosperity until the greenback comes
to be exchangeable for gold, dollar
for dollar. An expansion of the cur
rency means depreciation of its
value, and that is the common sense
and truth Of the matter. This qucs-
ton is one upon which there is room
for great difference of opinion, but |
ask you as a Republican, can you aid,
in your desire for financial relief, in
electing Tilden to the Presidency
and placing the Confederate Demo
cracy in charge of the government !?
I tell you the greenback question
will be solved to your sorrow when
the 106 Confederate Representative
are aided by enough Northern Dem
ocrats to obtain control of the ad-
ministration and the treasury
Should they get that control, you
may put it down for certain that
your debt will be doubled to pay
rebel claims for damages inflicted by
the Union army during the war. If
that comes to pass, these claims must
be paid in greenbacks, and then
they'll not be the popular currency
they are now. You'll curse them, and
they will be deprecated to such an
extent that we'll all go down togeth-
err in one vast abyssmal depth of
bankruptcy, beggary and ruin.

A Chapter
ON THE
Financial interests
OF THE NATION
As given by some of the Best Thinkers
Of the Age.
BLAINE AT TIPPECANOE.

\ Most telling, perhaps, was his
caustic reference to Tilden as conspicu
ously hard money man until that time
when the Southern claim agent began to
insist upon the issue of more paper mon,
ey, that with the greenback-bag open at
both ends, they could put their war
claims in at one end, and
GRIND THEM OUT IN PAPER MONEY
at the other. He reminded the Green
hackers that the holders of the rebel
claims knew full we'll thatif the paper dollar
is made of full value-the silver dollar
and the gold dollar-they cannot receive
payment of their claims; that therefore it
is they who do not want the currency bet
tered, and that the Greenbackers of the
North are but voting with the South,
which doesn't mean the currency shall be
bettered until their claims are paid, and
the paper that should be issued for these
same claims is issued. He also remind
ed them they would some time have to
be paid. This point, which was present
ed with Mr.. Blaine's wonted striking
clearness, was
A PHASE OF THE CURRENCY QUESTION
that had not been considered by the
Greenbackers hereabouts, and evidently it
struck home. Not less forcible was his
summary of the facts as to the rebel war
claims made upon the assumption that
the loyal people were all wrong in putting
down the rebellion, and that all they
can get out of the United States is law

BOB INGERSOLL ON FINANCE.
TILDEN's ESSAY ON FINANCE.

TILDEN'S ESSAY ON FINANCE.
Now, there is a gentleman by the
name of Tilden who has written an
essay on finance Some people call
it letter on finance. Laughter
Now we have been told in his essay
that one Of the great preventatives
of paying this debt is having a time
fixed when to pay it. | have never
taken any notes that l recOllect of
that there was not something said in
the note about when it was to be
paid; and [ had always supposed
that it was an exceedingly important
part of the note that there be at
least an indirect allusion to some age
or epOck at which the maker there
of proposed to liquidate the aforesaid
note. But l find all this time | have
been mistaken, and that nothing in
the world will prevent it being paid
so quick rs to have the date fixed
when it is to be paid. Tilden says
the reason of this is you cannot pay
a note without wise preparation, and
wise system of preparation, and to
have date fixed plays the very dew
il with wise preparation. Laugh
teri He also tells me that it is nee
essary to have central reservoir of
coin, and ifyou fix the date the res
ervoir is an impossibility. He also
tells me that you must approach this
thing by slow and gradual process,
and that if you have date fixed you
cannot make your process gradual
| enough. Laugnter.] Now, let me
read what he says:
How shall the Government make these
| notes [greenbacksl at all times as good as
| specieg
Well, in my humble view l had
supposed the way to do that was to
| be ready to redeem. [ had really.
Laughter.] Tilden says.
1t has to provide in reference to the
\ mass which would be kept in use by the
/ wants of business central reservoir of
coin, adequate to the adjustment of the
| temporary fluctuations of the internation-
al balance [Laughter.l
l would like to say to the gentle
man who gave me a note I want the
date, and l will tell you why.

But Mr.. Tilden did not entirely dis.
gorge his mind on this subjuct, so he
says:

WHAT Is THE RESUMPTION LAW?

Let us now briefly state what this Re-
sumption law is. 1t contains several dis
tinct provisions, but all of them intended
to bring up our greenbacks and bank
notes to be equal to coin. The first sec
ton provides for the substitution of silver
coin for fractional currency. The reason
of this was that this small currency was
very perishable, lasting only, on an aver
age, one year, and costing $l,4OO,O00 a
year, or three and one-half per cent. on the
amount of it. 1t was not money, but
promise to pay money, while silver coin
was money of intrinsic value, that re-
deemed itself, and cost nothing for coin
ing, only one and one-half per cent, and
when coined lasted indefinitely. We were
able to buy silver bullion and and coin it
at considerable profit, and thus redeem
a costly, perishable, dirty paper money
with bright shining, silver coin-real
money. Now this has been done, and
thus this part of the Resumption Act is
executing itself daily, and now everybody
agrees that this was wise provision.
Another provision for this act was for
free banking. Before that, the organiza-
ton of National banks had become mo-
nopoly. The limit of the law had been
reached, and no new banks could be au-
thorized. The Resumption Act threw
down oil barriers to the number Of banks,

Our Democrats hardly

Our Democrats hardly know
whether to laugh or cry. Indiana
threw overheard the best man in her
borders and elected clown, buf-
foon, an ignorant old ass for govern
or; he was Democrat, bat the Re-
publicans gained 4 Congressman and
the Legislature, 80 that there is such
an awful small show for Democrats
to laugh, that they have but little to
say. First, the Democratic State of
Colorado gives the Republicans Its
Governor and balance of State ticket,
its Congressman, its Legislature, its
two u. S. Senators and its three
electoral votes for Hayes and Wheel
or, (for the Legislature elects
electors). Then Ohio gives q big
gain on everything, especially the 5
Congressmen; Then Indiana gives
us A Congressman and its Lsgisia-
ture; !; and now we feel like We could
do the growing, while Democzacy
wears the Grape. -.

The DEMOCRACY IN BRIDGEPORT
The Democracy of Bridgeport have COM
menced work in earnest, and this evening
will erect a Tilden and Hendricks pole
in that place. The pole is the largest
one in this vicinity, being It's feet in
height. The "raislng" was to have taken
piece Saturday afternoon, and was at
tempted, but the block and tackle used
was not of sufficient strength to sustain
the heavy weight brought to bear upon
it. and the hook to which was attached
the lines used in raising the pole, gave
way, letting it fall distance of about
thirty feet, Fortunately, however, no
one was injured, and the pole remained in
tact. The largest gathering ever before at
pole-raising in Bridgeport, were assem-
bled, and great was the disappointment
The same speakers who were to have ad-
dressed the assemblage on Saturday will
crate this afternoon, and the opening
shot of the campaign on the part Of the
Democracy will fall heavily upon the
shoulders of the "Continuation.of- Grant
ISM partisans.

BASE BALL.-The game of base ball,
played on Saturday afternoon, at the Fair
Grounds, between the Standard and
Leader clubs, for set of bases, resulted
in favor of the former nine by an over
whelming score. The Standards fielded
firmly, and batted very heavily, getting
in total of twenty-eight bases from the
pitching of Carney, Sprucebank and
Walters. Sommers and Lukens carried
of the batting honors on the side OF the
BOYS in Blue. The new catcher, "Som-
mers," although suffering from bad
hand, distinguished himself behind the
bat, not an error in that position being
charged to him. The balance OF the
Standard club played well, only five IN
excusable errors occurring. Berger and
Carney, on behalf of the Leaders did ex-
ceedingly we'll, a difficult fly catch by
Berger in centre.feld being loudly ap-
plauded.

TIE HEBREWS AND THE INDUSTRIES.

The HEBREWS AND THE INDUSTRIES.
An important resolution was adopted
by the Union Council of American
Hebrews, which closed its session at
Washington, Friday, advising parents of
their connection to train their children
in the mechanical arts or in agriculture
1t is a marked circumstance that these
industries in this country have compare.
lively few representatives of the Hebrew
race, the mass Of the Hebrews being en-.
gagged in mercantile pursuits. The hazard
OF success in mercantile life is at all times
great, but the Hebrews, as class, by
their peculiar business traits, combining
the most persistent thrift, patience,
shrewdness aud discretion, have suffered
less from the ordinary or extraordinary vi
cissitudes of trade than any other class of
citizens. AS the country grows, how
ever, exhibiting everywhere its vast
sesources and capacity for development,
1t is not wonderful that the teachers OF a
race SO intelligent and alert should di'
rect the rising generation to devote itself
less TO the chances of barter and sale, and
more to the things without the proper
development of which the successes OF
trade must be limited to few, and the
hazards increased out of all proportion
to the ultimate gains.
