uASSON, July 10 1870.
Editor anti onopoliSf:
What We have accomplished in the
last hundred years, has been present ed
in glowing collors by orators all over
the country. but there is dark side to
this as we'll rs to anything else.
That We have progressed in many di-
rections no one can deny; but is human
nature any better than one hundred
years ago? Is there any less selfishncss
in the WORLD Are the lion and the
lamb any more likely to lie down to-
gether now then they were then? Are
people any happier now than they weru
before there was \ railroads steamboat,
or any of the ,aoor-sSving machines in
vented
So far rs lean understand people tha,
do work. work just rs hard rs they did
hundred years ago. | know the farmers
OF Minnesota work harder then ID.
farmers did forty years agoin New Eng
land; and they don't live any better. /
here is any beneti. derived from sewing
machines, some one gets it besides those
that use them. Tor women work Just =.
hard now rs they ever did. The fact is
peoples wants increase with their abili
u to supply them; and | doubt yer.

we have nothing in either of these direc-
tions, viewing these from the most fav-
orable standpoint; and exercising the
broadcast charity, to justify the hope that
there will be any marked change in the
direction of ameliorating the condition OF
the people. Then the duty Of the pa
riot is clear A party made up of the
two, leaving in the background the politi-
cal hacks, similar to the republican party
will give us the needed reform. Hence
/ an. for Peter Cooper, and a new party.
This party has already created much en-
thusiasm, and appeals to the best inter-
est of the laboring classes against the
threatened aristocracy which class legls-
lation fosters, l have looked the matte
carefully over, and cannot see any issue
from our financial distress, only in the
national greenback currency founded up
on the wealth OF the nation, and a with>
drawal of the national bark circulation.
With this broad-brained humanitarian
as president, with the men that he would
call around him to administer the prin-
cipal functions of the government, our
para]yzed interests would awake as from
the dead, and spring forth with a vigor
unbrecedented in the history OF financial
prosperity, so let others do as they may
in the coming contest, here is one vote
for Peter Cooper and honest govern
ment.
Yours,

to boast of. We have learned how to
make a few machines, and something of
the philosophy of the heavens land the
earth; but no one has yet been able to
understand, by what mysterious process
a blade of grass, or flower gathers to
itself the clements that form its life.
In fact. the soul OF things is as much II
mystery now as it was hundred years
ago. II we have learned any wisdom
in the art Of government, we have fall
ed to put it in practice; for no people
that ever lived pay so dear for the priv
iiege Of living as we do. It we have
our supper tens" we have our lower
millions; if we have some worth hun
dred million, we have the most wretched
poverty that ever existed. If we have
succeeded in developing some OF the
highest specimens Of humanity I'VE have
in almost every city OF our land, those
that are lower down in the scale of hui
man beings, than can be found among
the savage tribes ofthe earth. Our land
is filled with prisons, jails, assylums,
houses of correction, and with physical,
mental and moral disease all Of which
is evidence that the coming generations
have got some thing to learn.
Itthere has been any great progress
made in the religious world, it has not
come to the surface. The most OF the
churches close up the book OF nature, and
cling to the old traditions; the theories
of another life are simply supreme sell
fishness, 50 selfish that all the best ele-
ments of human nature are annihilated.
If we as people. have grown wiser
than our fathers, it is neutralized bv our
foolishness.
But, Mr.. Editor, believe in develop
ment and in progress. But the time is
tar off when virtue will prevail over
vice, good over evil, and truth over
error.

The effects OF loaning money for pay
on the high and noble sentiments Gilman.
are such as described by your cores
pondent Locke, in your last issue. The
history OF ancient nations prove this;
and the people OF modern Europe and OF
this country feel this to be true.
The effects on the passions and scntl,
mcnts Of man, who pays interest for the
use Of money, are as injurious as on him
who takes interest. A vast majority of
men who pay interest tor the use OF mon
ey lose portion Of their independence
and il they avoid extravaganza. idleness,
dishonesty. cunning and fraud they do
well.
We should have an uniform rate OF
interest for the use of money throughout
the United States, fixed by the federal
Government; and that rate should not
exceed three per cent premium. the con-
sequence would be that most men would
use their own money in farming. stock
raising, manufacturing, merchandising,
or whatever else it might be.and employ
the man, with no capital, but his brain,
Sklll OF muscle, anu luis Is rs IL SnOulu
be, to leave anything like an equitable
distribution Of property, harmony and
happiness, and good feeling between
the rich and poor.
No doubt but Grenier, of Paris, in ex-
pressing his own sentiments towards the
creditors ofthe government, in Europe
expresses the feelings of large part O
the common people; we know he is cor
rect in his estimate Of the sympathy o
the capitalist for the people.
The heartlessness Of the capitalist OF
one side and the fate Of the people or
the other, may cause the time to come
when the people Of Europe will repu
date their national debts.
We can pay ours and must, and mus
keep out OF debt. or the republic vii

The actions Of the mil!iunaires an,

THE SOUTH.
Social and Civil Condition Of the

AlClear and Dispassionate Statement
by Professor N. s. Shaler.
boston Advertiser,l

As the present political contest prom
ises to turn upon "the condition of the
South" it becomes every one who has
personal knowledge of the state ofaffairs
existing in that section, and who feels
himself reasonably secure against preju-
dice, to give the facts as he has found
them. The newspapers are so full of ac-
counts and denials of social disorder in
the late rebellion States, so many parti-
sans of either side are hurrying to and
fro through that country simply ito YER
ify their impressions" that general
doubt seems to have settled upon the
minds of thinking men as to the Credi-
bility ofall reports that come from there.
That the reader may have some idea OF
the grounds for the following observa-
tions, it is proper that he should be in
formed of the condition under which
they were made. During the war bore
arms in the Federal ranks, and in every
Presidential election since have been of
age my vote has been cast for the candi-
dates Of the Republican party. A native
of Kentucky, but resident of Massa.
chusetts since 1859, have been in the
habit of spending more or less of each
year in journeys through the South, and
have made it a special object of my wan
derings through that region to study the
relations existing between the races, and
to understand the workings of the pro-
cess of reconstruction. For some years
have been employed in making sur
vey of the State of Kentucky, and this
work has made it necessary for me to
visit all parts of that State and much OF
those that lie adjoining. A dozen or
more of assistants. from all portions of
the Union, have aided me in the work,
and have used their eyes and ears, as
well as my own, in an effort to get cor,
rect idea of the social conditions in these
regions. During the past year l have
over large part of Virginia,
Kentucky and North Caro-
lima, generally on horseback or on foot,
during which l have been brought into
the closest personal relations with the
people of those States, and it is believed
that these carefully considered conclu-
sions have been reached without any bias
save that which. must necessarily come
from long affiliations with the Republi-
,an party. In all these journeys of my
