AMERICAN VS., FOREIGN POLICY,


The cant Of the bullionist that We
must preserve a financial policy that
will give our bonds credit in Europe,
so that the Rothschilds, Earrings
will have confidence in our National
securities, is the sheerest clap-trap
that the American people have ever
been bought with. That this Nations
people should be driven to the verge
of Bankruptcy in all their varied pur
suits and callings for q few bond
holders and Shylocks in Europe and
their agents in this country, is an
evidence of a want of patriotism
which is really alarming and should
arrest the attention of every we'll
wisher of his country and of our free
government. In the elder and bet
ter days of our nation we did not
care for the fawning sycophancy of
these capitalists of the English and
other nations. Then as now, they
bought nothing but what they were
compelled to have, and it was not
less a favor to them to buy than il
was to us to sell. Honors on that
score were easy. They compel US to
pay for what we get Of them and we
do it. They now as then curse ou1
free system and would at any time
destroy it if they could. They were
the cause of more than fifty per cent
of our present indebtedness by en-,
couraging the war of the rebel States
against US. They did it hoping to
destroy our free institutions, but
thanks to our brave army, and above
all our inexhaustible resources, WE
are again united and stronger thar
ever before. But for the suicida.
policy persisted in by a few bold bad
men since 1859, we would to-day be
not only united but prosperous. The
question of a reversal of the financia
policy now and for some years pas
expressing our people, comes newt
ably to the front. Nineteen out o.
twenty of the Democratic party are
ready to act in destroying the &C
cursed system that looks only to thu
interest of the bondholder and his
satellite. Why should the bondhold
er dictate to the people? He only
owns about five per cent. of the wealth
of this nation. MOI are the Demo
Gratis alone in this. Three-fourth'
of the Republicans are with then
sure, prepared to co operate for thu
relief of the masses, who are Ameri
cans and believe in an American Ma
tional Policy.
Away with syndicates which ar,
leeches. Down with the Resumption
Act which is oppression. Break til
gold standard which is folly, ant
stamp out the very embers of sucl
foul heresies which are but the snare
wealth sets for honest toll. Let tn
people demand and enforce thei
rights. Let the free spirit of GU
free people speak, PERSISTENCE to ty
rants is obedience to God" Give t
the people free and equal rights an
peace will come as sunshine after
storm, and prosperity make glad a
sure as the blossom comes at the cal
of Spring.

HOW THE VILLAINS PUSHED
THINGS 10 ELECT HAYES,

The worm will turn to sting the
foot that treads upon it, and Packard
has been goaded to break silence a.
bout the Louisiana election returns
by the declaration of the New York
Tribune that the return board of that
State 'cared more for the State Ad-
mInistration than for the Presiden
cy," and that it decided to 'push the
rejection of the votes beyond all
reasonable limits for the sake effasc-
ening Mr.. Packard of President
Hayes coat tails" The Tribune
was most fortunate in thus provok-
ing Mr.. Packard to a public explain
alton, for he publishes a reply in that
journal of yesterday that al not be
answered. Mr.. Packard shows that.

throwing out the bull-dozed Parishes

The following is the full text Of the
Sultan's proclamation to the army:
RUSSIA has declared war. We
are forced to take up arms. We
have always wished peace, listening
to the advice of the Powers in this
respect, but Russia wants to destroy
our independence, and so, if Russia
attacks us, the God who protects
right and justice will grant us victo-
ry. Our soldiers will defend with
their blood the country gained by
their ancestors, and, with the help of
God, maintain the independence OF
Osmanli. The nation will protect
the wives and children Of the soldiers.
Should it be necessary, the Sultan
will go to the army and raise the
standard of Khabjat and the Sulta,

flee his life for the honor and indie,
pendence of the country.

MT. PACKARD tnuS SHOWS tnaG IL
was necessary to 'push the rejection
of votes" beyond the bull-dozed par
ishes not only to save the Packard
State ticket, but to save Hayes also,
and he pungently reminds the Trib-
une that its claim that additional
work was done ''for the sake of fast
ening Mr.. Packard to Hayes coat
tails is "curiously at variance with
the facts" He then shows that the
board could have rejected the addi-
tional parishes of Caldwell, Nachi-
toches and Richland, and accepted
the face of the returns in the other
parishes, with the following result:
Packard over Nichols, 401, and
Wickliffe, St. Martin, De Blanc and
Seay, democratic electors, majorities
ranging from 8 to 67 over their re-
publican competitors, which would
have given the republicans the State
administration and both branches Of
the legislature, and given to Tilden
four electoral votes when one would
have elected him. But Mr.. Packard
reminds the Tribune that
Instead Of thus resting, they
"pushed the rejection of votes" be-
yond these limits. Additional polls
were rejected in the parishes of Bos-
sier, Catahoula, Claiborne, Franklin,
Iberia, Livingstone, st. Landry,
Tangipahoa, and in three wards of
the city of New Orleans, which did
not effect the election of Governor or
the membership of the General As
sembly, and from such action result
ed the majority of the Hayes cleo
tors. l adopt the words of the Trib-
une and join in your suggestion that
uneasy republicans who are worry
ing over the bearings of the Louisi-
ana settlement upon the Presidents
title will do well to keep these fig
ures in mind"
Mr.. Packard clearly demonstrates
that the rejection of votes in Louisi-
ana was not solely in the interest OF
himself and the State ticket, butthat
the work had to be pushed 'beyond
all reasonable limits" to give the
Hayes electors majorities. The best
thing that the Tribune can do is tc
dismiss the arithmemical feature Of
the Louisiana return, and not goad
those who did the figure work to tell
anything about it, for it can not be
stirred without making a pestilential
stencil in. the nostrils Of the nation,
There is a force in its assumption
that the selection Of electors is a du,
ty imposed upon the States and that
the revisions Of the lawful tribunals
of the States is a question of the
greatest delicacy, and fraught with
the gravest of possible wrongs; but
no journal with just claims to fair,
ness can defend the original return
Of Louisiana for Hayes and Wheeler

STAND BY THE AGREEMENT.
[From the S. F. Daily Stock Rcport.]

Democratic leaders in Washington
agreed in caucus on Saturday night to
stand by the decision of the Electoral
Tribunal, and accept in good faith the
Inauguration of Hayes, if that shall
follow. The vote by which this de-
cision was reached was SO Eyes to 40
nays. We wish the proportion had
been greater, for that there were even
forty members OF the caucus in favor
OF obstructing the count shows that
the party ill-conceals its disappoint
ment. The bill constituting the Com
mission was . Republican measure, it
il true, but II YVES heartily acquiesced
in by the better element OF the De-
mocracy, as 1t was bitterly opposed by
that portion OF the Republican strength
least entitled to confidence. The bet
ter classes Of both sets of leaders
agreed on IL and the whole country &C.
uuiesced. Now there must be no wav-
ering on either side. True the Demo
Gratis have been bitterly disappointed,
but, then, somebody had to he dlsap-
pointed. Had it been the Republicans,
we doubt not that Tilden would have
been peacefully inaugurated and 10y
ally respected. We ask the Democrats
TO as cheeriully accept the edict and
throw up their hats for President
Hayes as gracefully AS they can. Al.

A moMgNroUs QUESTION.

We publish to day, says the New
York Herald of February Is, a singu-
lar story of social life in Michigan,
which, although some years old, is
well worth the telling. and which
throws the adventures of Miss Mary
Knox into the shade. In the latter
case the lady thinks she knows whom
she married, while the gentleman she
claims as her husband is in entire ignO-
rance of having married Miss Knox.
In the Michigan matter the lady being,
in accordance with the terms of her ec-
centric first husbands will, compelled
to marry her second in the dark, could
not be so positive as to the identity of
her number two as Miss Knox pro
fesses to be Of her number one. But
while Miss Knox is too little married
the Michigan Widow D%odsworth seems
to have been too much married on her
second venture, four lovers having
commended for her well filed hand
Mr.. Dodsworth having ~bequeathed her
thirty thousand dollar>-And each in
sisting that he was the happy man who
placed the ring on the widows plump
fourth finger in the dark.
1t was all ON ing to MIR. Dodsworth's
crotchets. He was considerably Mrs.
DOdsworth's senior, and when he died
and left her a stout, fresh, available
widow, to whose personal charms he
added the attraction of thirty thousand
dollars, he did not follow the exam Pile
of some old curinud.eons who forbid
their relics to we'd aga n, but bound
her to find a second husband within
eighteen months of the time he was
laid in the grave, under penalty of for
feiture of the fortune. This was ex
ceediHgly generous conduct on the part
OF Mr.. Dodsworth. a. all young wives
of elderly gentlemen will admit. But
he coupled the condition with others
not so agreeable. The widow WAS TO
marry her second in a barn and in the
dark. This provision of the will in
vited the subsequent trouble. The
ceremony being performed in tie dark.
neither the widow nor the clergyman
o the witnesses could swear whom
she bad married, and all four of her
lovers claimed her hand. One of them
was a widower, and he got the bride,
as a matter OF course, being better
posted in such matters than his rivals,
but he had to buy off their claims at
two thousand dollars a head. II is
fair. therefore, to conclude that the
widow secured the right man; for a
lover who would give up her charms
for a couple of thousand dollars
could not have been worth much as a
husband.
