man who votes for Williams will endorse
both the above propositions. That must be
a very curious specimen OF republican
who, no matter how much he admires the
policy, could vote for Williams and thus
declare Hayes a fraudulent President.
The democrats who framed the platform
must have set up nights conriving this
ingenious way of preventing republicans
voting for their candidate. This puts up

1t argues stronger against the author
OF such logic, and may perhaps ac-
count for the inquiry whether Barna-
by and the treasurer are not stock
holders in the National bank? I
would inquire of Mr.. Barnaby what
he meant when he purchased the
$4,000 bond by asking the holder Of
the bond to take New York exchange?
Was the money in New York? IL so,
how did it get there?
Now, as Mr.. Barnaby took his
stand as a liberal republican, was
nominatedby the democrats because
he wss a liberal, serving one term as
commissioner, giving general salts
faction L believe; was renominated
by the democrats and was so accept
able to the republicans as a reformer
and economist that they made no
nomination against him, believing he
was the right man in the right place
to watch democratic crookedness in
democratic officials, and having the
support of both parties for the office.
For these reasons / have been slow
to believe anything against his of1ic-
ial conduct but strict integrity,
prompted by none other than correct
motives. But his answers to @Tax
Paper has not come up to my ex-
pectations, or justified me in the
opinions Of him thus formed. have
also been panied to hear Of circum-
stance connected with the ditching
law in which Mr.. Barnaby is said to
have suggested to the viewers ap-
pointed by the commissioners, to
change their assessment by taking
5000 off the assessment of one Barber
and putting it on the county, which
was accordingly done. Now IL there
is any fOundotion for this assertion, /

thousandsof miles, and the people in
the different sections having diverse
and antagonistic interests, we cannot
promise ourselves the positive GER
tainty of perpetual union. The pos
sibility that the government may
be disrupted although It may be i'm
probably renders its promises to pay
sufficiently hazadrous to place their
value below gold which has an I'M
changable value. But it is hardly
worth while 70 refer to a score of other
instances concerning the credit OF our
government. One most notable IL
lustration of the instability OF our
government was the recent labor
strikes, which assumed such proper
tions that there was at one time seri-
Gus doubts whether the available
troops of the United States would be
able to quell it. Taking all facts in
to consideration it becomes apparent
that the government in its present
system cannot issue promise to pay
that will make it an equivalent in
value to gold. And there is no power
that can make it equal. Mr.. Miller's
learned discussion is therefore has ed
on an impossibility, and his theory is
undesirable even il possible.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1877-10-04

The Boston Journals Washington
correspondent tellegraphs as follows
Judge Durant- a prominent prac-
titioner before the United States Su-
preme Court, is engaged in drafting a
bill to give the Court of Claims much
larger jurisdiction in the matter Of
all Southern Claims which have been
rejected by the Southern Claims
Commission, either on the ground Of
disloyalty or fraud. This measure will
undoubtedly receive the very general
support OF Southern members, who
intend to open the doors OF the Trea-
sury to the payment OF Southern
claims In every manner POSSIBLE"

Gold and Paper Money.

John L. Miller contir ues to discuss
the financial problem $50 called) in
the Charlottesville Joitrrlal.-Or
rather he is trying to tell that the
hard times result from the fact Of
government currency being rated at
less value than gold. II Mr.. Miller
has any definite ideas concerning
political economy he should recog-
nize the fact that there should be a
difference between the circulating
medium which Is based on intrinsic
value, aud any medium which has for
its foundation a mere promise to pay.
A gold dollar is worth a dollar under
any circumstances, while a paper
dollar is worth the specific sum given
1t by the credit OF the government
that issues it and promises to pay.
When our government issues prom
Use to pay, that promise is based on
the ability of the government to re-
deem that pledge under all circum-
stances. II the form and system of
the government is such that its
financial. standing cannot be i'm
paired, then the paper dollar should
rank on par with gold, or nearly so.
Suppose that the policy Of the govern
ment is subject to complete change
once In four years for partisan pur-
poses, there is no assurance that the
promise OF the government to pay
will be strictly maintained. Such
thing as reputation Of debts &C.
CURED in the issuance OF money
promises to pay has been done, and
within ten years has been demanded
by large numbers Of people. In a
republican form OF government where
so many men follow the dictates or
party leaders without common sense
or reason, such thing as Reputation
is possible within very few years.
This renders some risk to the holders
Of paper money, and OF necessity
places it below gold in value. There
are numerous other causes which
may arise to reduce the value OF
money. Few people have the re-
hottest idea that another attempt will
ever be made to disrupt the form of
our general government. In 1859 few
people believed there would be Sc
cession, yet there was a determined
effort to destroy the government.
With an area of country covering
