AS the time for the election an.
proaches the Pioneer Press is begin.
ing to play it's usual role Of party in.
dependence, by patting the poor or.
ganless Democracy on the back. and
quietly leading it by the nose onto the
republican platform. 1t says:
In Minnesota both political parties
have steered clear Of the delusions
which have led astray one or the 9th.
er, or both. in some of the western
states IN lower latitudes. The gen.
eral tendency of public opinion in
Minnesota on the currency question is
in decided opposition to the green
back nonsense and always has been.
The greenback party has no following
mere and does not number a single
man OF influence among it's leaders or
Id It's ranks that anybody ever heard
Ism that a cool assumption Of su-
perlorlty on the part Of the unknown
nobodies who edit the Pioneer Press?
It says:

most any wild and foolish nostrum
finds wide acceptance among the dis
tressed classes, the greenback party

thepselyes whether it is possible to
cfry on the business of this country
An gold or silver, with such,a drain
upon us as is herein exhibited. Gold
is simply an article of merchandise
like wheat, produced from the ground
like wheat, and finding its chief mar
ket abroad, like wheat. What would
be the condition of the business of
this country if wheat was our only
currency? There would be times
when it would be abundant, as row.
and business would thrive; then there
would come periods when all the
cranaries would be empty and univer.
sal bankruptcy would follow.
We ought to have a standard of val

nicated TO the Courier des Alpes b.
M. Berard. The phenomenon ha
been incorrectly reported as instan
| taneOus and the destructive effect
complete, whereas the case is that OF
a mountain which for 20 days dura
ton, has been dismembering itsel1
and literally falling, night and day
into the valley below. filling 1t with
piled-up blocks of stone, eXtingulshln9
all sounds by its incessant thunder,
and covering the distant horizon with
a thick cloud Of yelloWish dust. The
entire mass comprised IN the slope
forms a mutilated cone 900 metres
broad at the top and 900 at the base
(the slope being about fifty degrees;)
this is composed of hard schist lying
close together, but no longer united;
and it is united to the body Of the
mountain only by a vertical mass OF
forty metres thick, which already
is tissured and shaken. Periods of
repose occur lasting only a few Sec
OndS, Or minute at most; then the
movement recOmmences, and con-
tinueS about 500 hours. Blocks OF
forty cubic metres become displaced
with no apparent cause, traverse the
1880 metres Of descent in thirty Sec
onds, leaping 400 or 500 metres at a
time, and finally get dashed to pieces
in the bed Of the torrent. Or launch
their shattered fragments into the
opposite forest, moving down gigan-
tic pines as if they were SO many this
ties. One such block was seen to
strike fine tlr-tree before reaching
the bridge between the villages the
tree was not simply broken or over
thrown. but it was crushed to dust
(volatilise;) trunk and branches dis
in the air like q burning
match.
Rocks are hurled together and
broken into fragments that are thrown
across the valley like swallows in Il
whirlwind, then follow showers of
fragments, and one hears the
whistlng sounds of thousands of peb-
bles as they pass. M. Berard reached
the edge Of the rock (2,460 metres
high.) on one of the sides Of the fall
ing cone, and ventured Salong it, OBJ
tanning good view of the ''terrifying'
spectacle. He reaflirms the convic-
tion that the phenomenon is ineXpli-
ceble by any of the usual reasons that
account for Alpine disturbances, such
as penetration of water, or melting of
SHOWS or inferior strata in motion.
nor does the declivity of the slope
explain it. His hypothesis is that
some geological force is at work, of
which the complex resultant acts OBJ
liquely to the axis of the mountain
and most parallel to it's sides
The next thing will be dissolution
of partnership between Todd and
Stebbins, and then we will know that
the end is surely at hand.

we favor substitution of greenbacks
for national bank bills.
Now let the Democracy of Mime

VAS HE BOUGHT /?

John Sherman now insists that re-
sumption must be accomplished within
one year and four months from this
date. and he says it can be done with
out any shock to our country, which
he declares to be the most prosperous
in the world.
Here is the way he talked in the U.
5. Senate, January %, 1859:
"The appreciation of a currency is
a far more distressing operation than
senators may suppose. Our own and
other nations have gone through this
process before, and always with
sorest distress. For eighteen wears
the notes of the Bank Of England were
practically legal tender, and upon
them as upon our greenbacks was
based currency issued by the coun-
try banks. When the war was over.
measures were slowly adopted for an
appreciation OF the paper currency to
the gold standard. 1t is only neces-
sary to appeal to the histories of the
time to show the disastrous effects.
Small traders, debtors and laborers
were reduced to the sorest distress.
The loss to thom was far greater than
the actual depreciation of the curren-
cy for all confidence and trust were
lott. The only compensation to Great
Britain was the rapid fall in the rate
OF interest, from the abundance of
idle capital. and her ability to reduce
the rate of her public debt within a
short period to three per cent. :
Ii Senator's wish other examples of
the severe process of passing from a
The anti-monopolist., 1877-09-27

issue currency to their full value.
This passed without much comment.
but it serves to interpret q kindred
resolution introduced at the night
session which was strongly urged
and excited much discussion. The
latter, by the president Of the New
York clearing house, urges the neces-
slty OF specie resumption in extrava-
giant terms. but condemns the present
method OF accommodating coin in the
treasury and demands that RESUMPTION
should be reached Through the CO.
operation of the banks with the gov
ernment. This is rather vague in
itself, but it is lucid enough in the
light OF the previous resolution. The
plan undoubtedly Indicated is that the
government should permit the banks
to buy four per cent. bonds in green
backs. which should then be With
drawn from circulation while their
place is taken by notes issued byf the
banks. There are several things about
this plan which will scarcely meet
with enthusiastic support out Of ma
tional banking circles. Even il it
were granted that it is as likely to
bring resumption as the present
scheme, it involves three undesirable
things. First, it enlarges the powers
and profits Of class of corporotiOns
which already enjoys privileges quite
equal to its value and services, high
as these have been and are Second,
its immediate effect would be a sud
den and violent contraction of legal
tenders, and we have already proved
the utility of making haste slowly in
this direction. Third, its ultimate
effect would plainly be the substitu-
tion of national bank notes for the
whole mass Of greenbacks, and it is
safe to say nobody wants this-eXcept
the bankers. iThe greenbacks are
good money enough, except in one
point Of irredeemability, which may
certainly be removed without their
total destruction. There is no rational
reason for any removal of greenbacks
beyond the limited contraction necer-
cary to bring them to par, and that is
secured by the present law. This is
not the time to open the general ques.
ton as to whether the VI ale currency
OF the country should be issued by the
treasury or by corporate bodies, and
for the present we can have no better
money than the greenback, up to the
limit within which it can be kept up
to par with gold. The national bank
note finds its just function in supply
ing the demand for currency beyond
that limit, and should be coutented
with this, without seeking to super
sede the greenback. 1t will be wise
for the banks to be temperate in this
matter, as the general sentiment in
the country, if attention were strong
ly drawn to the subject, favors, rea-
Sonably Or otherwise, rather restric-
tlOn than an extension Of their
privileges. Going back to the main
question for a moment, it is even
doubtful whether the plan proposed
in the convention would forward re-
sumption. 1t would place the matter
to an extent in hands controlled by
private and selfish interests, which is
in itself bad, and has in possibilities
Of financial arrangements which
might compel long and disastrous
halt before reaching the desired gold. :"
Now let the Pioneer Press come out
and support the Greenback ticket,
and thus cast it's influence in behalf of
the principles it enunciates.
