CIRCULAR ORDER.

When will wonders cease? HAYES
has issued a circular order to all
United States office holders, to cut the
belts Of their politics and attend to
their official business. We have had
to fight the office-holding rings here
tofore, but their conduct became so
shameless that HAYES has done him
self in the eyes of all good men, by
saying to these servants of the peo,
pie, attendto your official duties, and
give the masses a "fair count" If
he will only keep the noses of whisky
Inspectors in bung holes and keep
the tax-gatherers from expressing
the masses, that is enough without
their riding them up to the polls on
election day. If the President con,
tinues to show honesty and common
sense there may be something in the
change that he has gone back on hi:
party. Let them howl.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-06-28

The Philadelphia Times says
The sentiment of reconciliation as
serted itself very fully in the OBJ
servances Of Decoration Day both
North and South, and the lofty and
patriotic tone of many of the adj
dresses must be very grateful to every
heart inspired by noble impulses. A
particularly interesting feature of the
day was the decoration of the graves
of the Confederate prisoners who
died at Fort Delaware and were bu-
ried at Firms Point. Certainly the
tenderness with which we have learn
ed to think of all those poor fellows,
dying away from home and kindred,
is more wholesome and more worthy
of Americans than the bitterness
which in too many cases added to
the misery of their last sufferings.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-06-28

Every day the Republican party
grows more disorganized. Its first
great division is into the ms and outs,
between those who stand by MI.
Hayes and his Cabinet and those who
shiver on the outside. The outside
is divided against itself. There are
the Blaine faction and the Morton
faction; the hard money, the soft
money, and the double standard fac
tions; the protection, the free trade
and the KnoW-uothing factions. All
these were formerly held together by
the tie of an all powerful hatred of
the South, and by the cohesive pow
er of public plumber. Both of these
ties have in a great measure relaxed
and the party is decomposing. Any
living issue, such as resumption, civ
il service reform, or military re-
trenchment will split the once great
party into fragments, and it is sim
ply impossible too keep such ques-
tions from forcing their way to the
front at the next session of Congress.

There is yet such a thing as "the PEG.

England appears to be preparing
for the possible event of being in
volved in the Eastern war. The to-
tai number of soldiers ready for SER
vice in the British Islands was only
$4,000 on the first of January, 1875.
Of these there were, in round num-
bers, $4,000 in England, 22,5OO in
Ireland, less than 1000, in Scotland,
and under 1000 in the Channel
Islands. In the event of England's
sending troops abroad less than So
900 would be a very small army, and
it would be difficult to supply their
place in home service. The neces-
sary number would have to be drawn
from the militia, the yeomanry, cav
airy, the volunteers, and the unrolled
pensioners. The latter are of all ag
es, from middle to advance life

War, pestilence and intemperance
are among the direct evils that ever
cursed the nation, but as bad as they
are, the combined calamities result
ing from them have not had as dlsas-
trous and baneful effect upon the ma
terial prosperity of the country as
John Sherman's financial policy
During the prevalence ofsuch nation
al scourges, Government has never
failed to administer relief to the peo-
ple-but now that plaques and cpl
denies do not visit our shores, and
that health attends the labor in forest,
field and shop, the people are in sym.
pathy but for those who hold its Sc.
cureties and will tolerate only the
so-called "money of the world."-
In other words that the people must
take care of themselves.

In order TO furnish q few cormor-
ants and idle arlstocrats with facili-
ties to rob the people, and prosper
and grow fat on the labor of others,
Radical leaders converted our free
money, our life-blood, our tools of
trade and production, into a gold
bearing debt, and suspended it to
our necks, says Pomeroy's Democrat.
By this we are stripped of the means
of producing wealth; our property is
deprecated in value, and our ener
gies and industries crippled, while
all the profits of our shops and farms
are absorbed in paying interest up
on a debt created through treachery
and rascalitv, and not from necessi-
ty.

The N. Y. Times, the chief organ
of fraud, occupies a column in argu-
ing that the people are sick of the
cry of fraud. To which a contemro-
rary replies that this is very true.
The people are sick of the cry of

GREENBACKS.

When the Government was COM
PEELED to issue legal tenders to carry
on the war in 1862, (gold and silver
having failed to meet the emergen-
cy, } there were grave doubts in the
minds of a large majority of the best
informed men of all parties rs to the
constitutional right of Congress to
coin or fabricate paper money and
make it a legal tender for the pay
ment of debts, and also of the sue
cess of the government notes as a
medium of exchange and a substi-
tute for gold and silver. Many bank
ers had such a mistrust for them that
they refused for several months after
their first issue, to receive them on
deposit. But the Supreme Court of
the United States settled the ques-
ton of their constitutlonality, not as
a war measure, as has been asserted
but Is a right conferred by the fifth
paragraph of the eighth section OF
the Constitution. The wisdom Of
their issue gradually came to be re
cognized by the people, when they
saw that the successful termination
of the war was traceable to the is
suing of greenbacks more than tt
any other single act of Congress, ant
that times were never so tlourishins
and business so active and safe q:
when the volume of legal tender;
was at the maximum. Had it MOI
been for the organized war waged a
gainst the peoples money by the for
eign and domestic bullionists, hat
not the Secretary of the Treasury
dishonored the paper of the govern
ment by exchanging the legal ten
ders at 20 per cent. discount for five
twenty bonds, although the act au
thorizing their issue and stamped OIL
the back of every legal tender note
that it is a legal tender at its face
value for all debts, public and prtcate
except duties on imports and inter
est on the public debt, they would
be on a par with gold to-day, and a
it is, are worth more than silver.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-06-28

There is nor truth than poetry in
the suggestion Of an exchange that
since Jas. G. Blaine had his head hurt
last summer, it has been his luck to
be kept constantly before the public.
No man in the Republican party has
filled the eye ofthe people so much as
Blaine in one way and another, either
by his good OF bad fortune-and he
seems to have had his share of both
and it has now got to be a fit subject
for debating societies whether Blaine
is not as much of a public nuisance
as George Francis Train. After his
signal defeat by Hayes at the CiEcin-
natl Convention, it was thought that
he would give us a little rest, but the
Maine Legislature took him up and
elected him to the U. S. Senate, since
which time we have had Blaine for
breakfast, Blaine for dinner, Blaine
for supper, and Blaine served up cold
for lunch before going to bed, and it
seems as if this pestilent demagogue
should now take a recess until the
dog days are over, at least.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-06-28

Bankruptcies have been numerous,
rapidly increasing from year to year,
from $40 in 1864 to 10000 in 1876.
This happened not by chance, but
from a cause which is patent on a bare
glance at the facts. In the former
year our currency, compared with the
population, averaged $5S.41 a head;
in the latter year, only about Sill.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-06-28

The Bank of the State of Missouri
has failed for $500, 600, and cannot
pay from its assets 10 per cent. This
is another indication of the good
times promised us. Hurry up the
Resumption Act. Dennunce Green
backs, and demonetize silver. The
papers that advocate gold resump-
ton should take new courage
Times are prosperous.

The working people of this coun-
try are IS effectually enslaved as
were the blacks of the South. Their
situation is indeed worse. The slave
was cared for by his master and own
er in his old age, while the white

at home or be arrested as a tramp if
he leaves it.

What's the matter with the Old
Reliable Cincinnati Gazette3 Either
the democracy are and have been
right, or the Gazette has gone stark
mad. MOI is the Gazette alone
Many other papers, which have been
wild bullionists nov cry for more
money. We have long thought the
time would come when the people
would force their way up through
the expressions of the bond-holders,
who, through such infamy as embod-
led in the Resumption Act, lay upon
the masses burdens grievous to be
borne" They lay in wealth while
honest toilers clothed in rags stand
upon the corners of out streets in en-
forced idleness. These Shylocks
"toil not, neither do they spin, yet
Solomon in all his glory was not ar
rayed like one of these"
Tossing into the flames the old
greenbacks that fioated out in the
tempest of civil war, and was accepted
a as pledge of the nation; bastardiz-
ing the old silver dollar, whose ring
upon all counters, for a century, in
spired business, these harpies, as the
table of a great nations bounty to-
day begin to stand appalled, and self
convicted in the presence of PROSTATE
trade and ruined hopes. Well may
they call upon their fellows to stay
the tide of ruin. While we rejoice to
see such persons advocate correct
principles. We only regret that they
should have so long misled their
readers. But "time sets all things
even." The stone nee rejected by
the builders became the "chief stone
of the corner" So the advanced
doctrines of finance, demand alike
by every commercial and business
interest will in time win their way.
The people who care more for the
real interests ofthe% country than they
do for any set of politicians will ven
dictate the right.

SALARIES.

One Of the reforms which the peo-
pie demand is reduction of salaries
of our public officials. With a few
exceptions, among which is the Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor, our
State and county officers, under the
laws of this State, receive salaries far
out Of proportion to the services rem
dered, and much more than men of
ample qualifications and .undoubted
integrity would be willing to accept
the offices and be paid for their SER
vices. The offices of Auditor and
Treasrer in this county pay over S.
900 a year. Without disparagement
to the present incumbents, it is safe
to say that there are a hundred men
in Preble county, equally competent
and trustN crthy, who would cheer
fully accept their positions at one
half the salaries now paid. The ma
jority of county officers are men who
have been, in other capacities, unable
to earn a moiety of the salaries they
receive. While the people Ire CON-
PEELED to economic, let the public
servants also be made to feel the
pressure of the times. Taxpayers
can't hope for a reduction of taxes
without a radical and a sweeping re.
duction in the expenditure of public
money.
