In a conversation recently with
one of the most stanch, intelligent
and wealthy farmers of Preble coun-
ty, who is an old wheel horse in the
Republican party, he said that the
farmers in this county are getting
very much disguised at the extrava-
giant expenditure Of the peoples mon
ey by our County Commissioners and
Infrmary Directors. He went on to
say that when certain farmers of our
county were Infirmary Directors
they discharged the duties of their
Office to the satisfaction of the peo-
pie, at an expenditure to the County
of $50 a year; whereas, now the exi
penses of the Board are over $500.
Then the books were kept, and we'll
kept, by G. W. Larsh, for $35 a
year; whereas now the present Clerk
of the Board is receiving from the
County over $3.50 a year. Form
erly the Superintendent of the In
Urinary was able to run the institu-
ton and the farm connected with it
bya very slight expenditure for
hired help, but now the bulk of the
work is done by hired help, while
the inmates are supported in idle
ness. He went on to complain that
our County Commissioners granted
petition after petition to construct
free turnpikes, build bridges, open
new roads, &c, without, in most cases,
having a legal majority of signers to
them. Employment was given foI
weeks at a time TO the sons, broth.

The open revolt in the Republican
ranks, by prominent Republicans, is
assuming large proportions. On the
evening at August 9th, several prom
inent Republicans, among whom
were Gen. John Beatty, ex-member
of Congress, Gen. Samuel Thomas,
Pres't of the Rolling Mill Company,
and others, met at Columbus and
passed a series of resolutions de-
nouncing HAYES and the resolutions
of the Republican Convention in
sweeping terms. In one of them
they say that the second resolution
adopted at Cleveland, as a fsalsehood
adopted, solely for party erpediency
and a libel upon the Republicans Of
Ohio" Since their meeting, letters
have been received from prominen'
Republicans in every part of tn,
State, expressing sympathy will
the movement, many of them declar
ing that they will suffer the election
this year to go by default, in favo.
of the Democrats, rather than stul
tify themselves by an apparent en-
dorsement of the Cleveland platform
which they do not sanction.

CONTRACTION AND ITS coNSE.
QUENCES.

~ III hOo4 VI PhOSSA
dread, when the whole head is sick,
and the whole heart is faint, JOHN
SHERMAN is contracting the currency
at the rate Of fUe millions per month.
According to the official reports,
there was in circulation, on the first
of June 1851, 571,3 1874, and on the first
of August $641, 933,11s, a contrac-
ton of $9,63S,216, almost ten million
of dollars. Enterprise may be throt-
tied, manufactures may be locked
up, mechanics and laboring men
thrown out of Unemployment, thousands
of families may starve on account of
contraction, but still the infamous
resumption policy of the Republican
party is adhered to. Bankruptcy
may stalk through the land crush
ing out factories, mercantile estab-
lishments, business men and farm
ers who are in debt, but contraction,
like a wise, must continue to squeeze
the life-blood out of business.
At the close of the war, the vol
ume of currency available for circu-
lation was two thousand millions,
including Treasury notes and such
bonds as rel made a legal tender,
At that time the country was exceed
ingly prosperous, not only were fac
tories every where in operation, CIV
ing employment to mechanics and
tlaboring men, but also was there,
in consequence, an active demand
for manufactured goods; the people
having at that time means with
which to supply their many wants.
Millions of people were active con-
sumers, who are to-day subsisting
upon charity or groveling in want.
At the close of the war Secretary
McCulloch commenced his policy of
contraction. In his first report he
said, "The work of retiring the legal
tender notes, shall be commenced
without delay, in order to pave the
way for resumption of specie pay.
ments." He converted the bonds
that were legal tenders into bonds
thai were not. He substituted five.
twenty bonds for Treasury notes.
He contracted the greenbaeks, until
by an act of Congress, his authority
to do so was suspended. On the
fourteenth ofJuly, 1875, a Republi.
can Congress passed the Infamous
Resumption Act, providing for the
resumption of specie payments on the
first of January 1879. There is mo-
gold enough in the country OIL
to be obtained by the sale of bonds
, in this country or abroad, to enabl,
the government to resume speci,
7 payments with the volume of cur
rency still in circulation, and th,
. work of contraction was again com
menced and has gone steadily for
ward. According to the most relia

Extract from John Sherman's Mans
field speech.

In 1869 Congress pledged the pub
lie faith that the United States would
pay gold or silver dollars for United
States notes. Again, in January,
1875, after more than a years debate,
Congress declared that by the LIST of
January, 1879, the United States
would pay its notes in coin.
The Secretary of the Treasury is
expressly required to prepare for and
maintain the redemption of all Uni
ted States notes presented at the
Treasury on and after that date, and
for that purpose he is authorized to
use all the surplus revenue and to
sell bonds of the United States bear
ing four, four and one-half and five
per cent. interest at par in coin. 1t
is this law, called the Resumption
Act, now so much discussed in the
papers, that imposes upon the office
1 hold most difficult and important
duties, and, without replying TO any
attacks made upon me, 1 am anx,
ious to convey to you personally
what I have done and must do in
obedience to the provisions of this
act. 1t is said that the law is defec.
tive, but, if the great object and pol,
icy of the law is right, the machin.
cry of the law could easily be chang
ed by Congress. That resumption
can be secured, and ought to be Sc
cured, under this law, it will be my
purpose to show you, and I shall moi
hesitate to point out such defects ir

THE MODES OF RESUMPTION.

There are two modes of resump-
ton, either to diminish the amount
of notes to be redeemed, which is
commonly called contraction of the
currency, or by the accumulation of
coin in the Treasury, to enable the
Secretary to maintain resumption.
The one practical defect in the law
is that the Secretary is not at liber-
ty to sell bonds of the United States
for United States notes, but must
sell them for coin. As coin is not in
circulation among the people, he is
practically prohibited from selling
bonds to the people, except by an
evasion of the law, or through pri-
vate parties. Bonds are in demand,
and can readily be sold at par in coin,
and still easier at par, or at a premi-
UNI, in United States notes. The
process Of selling for United States
notes need not go far before the mere
fact that they are receivable fol
bonds would bring them up to par
in coin, and that is specie payments.

Campbell, of Lanier, declined amid
tumultuous applause-Homan would
serve, and Randall's remarks were
received with approval by the Ring.
Resolutions were adopted as fol
lows:
1. We endorse the principles of
the Republican party.
2. We adopt the State platform.
3. We disapprove of the lengthy
adjournment of the Supreme Court.
4. We will support our candidates.
Which means they are in favor OF
hard money, contraction, resump,
tion, &C., and that the party so long
in power has failed by any legisla,
tive enactment TO cure any ills Of
which they complain. If they fail
for years to regulate the Supreme
Court, it seems to US they are silly
to publish the fact in their Conven
lions, and there is a bare possibility
that the Court at which they make
their thrust understands its duty a.
well as they do. The platform re
