DEMOCRATS,

When we advocate the greenback
policy, we do not mean to advocate
q policy that will prove suicidal to
the Democratic party. Nor do we
merely advocate this plank in the
platform, and we think nine4tenths of
the Democrats hsthe l.. :. to-day
are i'll favor of the grcenback policy.
If not! Why not? The Democratic
party has from its first inception.
been the friend ofthe common peo-
ple-the wOrkingmcn and taxpayers
of the cOuntry-md it will not now,
when SO much is expected Of it, he
false to its record, and the principles
of Right, and Justice.
The Memphis Conservative, Ind an
editorial upon this subject last week,
which puts the points of agreement
between the Democracy and Green
back men, and the points of disa-
greement between the Democratic
and Republican parties, that we give
il below, without further comment.
1t says:
''The Greenbackers and Democrats
are alike opposed to the contraction
of the currency; the Republicans are
in favor of it. Greenbackers and
Democrats are in favor of coming and
making the silver dollar a legal ten
der, Republicans oppose it. Green
hackers and some Democrats oppose
resumption Of specie payment in
1879; Republicans favor it, and are
running the country to effect that
measure. Greeubackers and Demo
Gratis are opposed 10 the National
Banks and their issues Republicans
are in favor of them. G~reenbackers
and Democrats .ap opposed to the
Government Treasurer selling millions
after millions of gold for grccnbacks
to. destroy and keep out of ci,cuIa-
ton; Republicans favor it. Green
hackers and Democrats are IN favor
of paying the interest in grccnbacks
on all such bonds that coin was not
specified when they were issued, and
redeeming all bonds with tie same
kind of money they were bought
with; Republicans are opposed to
that. Besides these, G~reenbackers
and Democrats are opposed to grant
ing subsidies to corporations. and
Republicans are in favor of it. Green
hackers and Democrats are in favor
of equal taxation of all classes OF pro-
perry Republicans are opposed to it..
Greenbackers and Democrats are in
favor of one currency for the Govern
ment, the people, the bondholder and
the plow-holder, the laborer and the
Office holder, and pensioner and the
soldier; Republicans are opposed to
that. And last, though not least,
Greenbackersan and Democrats sym
pathize with the working class In the
contest and struggle between capital
and labor; Republicans are arrayed
on the side of the bondholders, rail-
road kings, and the monied aristocra-
cy generally. These reasons are GER
tainly sufficient to convince all ration
tional Greenbackers that to assist the
Democracy to gain the power, they
will have obtained many points aimed
at and strongly Ndssired::'@J" u j"

SUMMER ON THE BEACH.

Down the sands to the beach, where
the white breakers come rushing in;
and utilitarian farmers, with dung
carts and dingy white horses, are pick
ing up sea-wced, which has drifted in
through the night.
There is n fresh breeze, which
everybody says is delightful, and a
strong scent of spoiled eggs, decayed
lobster, and stewed cabbage, floats
inland.
Down trip your daughters, SO fair,
and buoyant, and gushing, for a dip
in the arms Of Neptune. You sit on
| one of the settecs of observation, and
watch them with fond eyes.
A few dips, and presto! what Il
change. That villainOus salt water
has played the duce with them gencr-
ally. Dragged, soppy, dripping,
with their lank hair in their eyes,
their baithing-suits sticking fast to
them-ah! nothing destroys beauty
which is put on like actual contact with
old ocean.
Never let a woman who powders,
battle.
Never let a man who colors his
whiskers, and touches up his eye
brows, battle.
Never let t person with thin hair

Never let an individual with NJ

Wade Hampton recently went to
Washington City. to apply for the
arms to which South Carolina is en-
titled for militia purposes. He did
not succeed in getting any arms, but
learned that his State vas not entitled
to receive any, simply from the
fact, that South Carolina had last
year, received all the arms to which
she could lie entitled for forty years
to come. These arms had been put
into the hands of the negroes alone,
by Don Cameron, who was Grants
Secretary of War; and now, none of
these arms are to be found; nobody
can tell wba: has BECOME of them.
The fact of the whole matter is SIM
ply this: With the object of carry
ing South Carolina for Hayes and
Chamberlain, the Grant administra-
ton had not only garrisoned the
State. with United States troops, but
had lawlessly sent down large guam
titles of United States arms to Ic dis
tributcd among the negroes, and they
have all been either purposely lost or
willfully destroyed.

The death of Senator Bogy is to he
greatly deplored. Not that nc sur
passed in intellectual briltiancy and
depth Of thought, or was in this res
poet even equal to many other men of
the State, but as a statesman he sery-
ed his country with intelligent zeal
and his party with untlagging devo-
ton. lie was reliable in all his po-
iitlcal transactions, never failing to
cast his vote on the right side OF pub
lie questions and i'll the interests OF
his constituency. A native Of the
great State of Missouri, her interests
were his interests, her welfare prompt
ell every action of his public life.
Probably the most remarkable trait in
his character was his tenacity of pur-
pose. lie knew not what it was to
turn aside from any obstacle, or yield
to difficulties of whatsoever character.
A fixed purpose and settled detcrmi,
nation in his own mind foryears past,
to some day represent his native State
in the General Assembly, was finally
realized. His purpose accomplished.
he now sleeps with the blessings OF
his countrymen on his head.
