Stewards b07azlomnae, 1--WE believe that's
what they call it) wouldn't catch as many
Democrats as McNair's money would Repub-
licans. So if the "disaffected'' wish to make
it hot for Washburn they had better hoist
the McNair flag and drop Stewart like hot
potato. To insure success, perhaps it would
be as well to plead with Donnelly to run in
dependent and make it triangular fight.
We don't mean to be understood that we
would enlist in any such movement. We
are not 'sdisaffected;'' neither do we want
money-we've got dead loads of it. We
merely make the suggestion with the char
liable view of helping to solve difficult
problem for the stsoreheads.''

GREENE B. RAUM commissioner of inter-
nal revenue, voluntarily comes forward and
testifes to the advantages of employing reg
ular revenue officers instead of posses of
soldiers to enforce the revenue laws at the
South. The soldiers, he testifies, were use
less to prevent illicit distillation. By inter-
esting number of citizens of a locality in
the enforcement of the laws he finds much
greater efficiency, and growing disposition
among all classes to conform to the regula-
tions of the department. 1t is only few
months since Mr.. Raum denounced the law
forbidding the use of the army as posse
c0natdtus as in the interest of moonshiners.

payment of the whole of the interest bearing
debt, and paid directly to the people without
the intervention of banks or agents; and an
enactment by Congress prohibiting any fur
ther issue of bonds, and constitutional
amendment making such issue impossible"
While we do not take issue as to the pol
icy of issuing sufficient volume OF currency
for the needs of trade, it is apparent to
everybody with reason that great injury
would be caused nnless some limit was placed
upon that issue. One set of Congressman
might believe that ten dollars per capita of
the population would be sufficient to meet
the requirements of trade, while another set
would believe that ten thousand dollars per
capita would be none too much. If both
acted upon their convictions the volume OF
the currency would beperpetually changing.
One year we would have terrible stringency
in the money market, and the next money
would be 80 plentiful as to be almost value
less. Thus the primary object sought-sta-
bility-would be prevented. AS for the
payment of the interest bearing debt in
greenbacks directly to the people without the
Intervention of banks and agents, the propo-
sition is idiotic. The debt of the country
must be paid in that which is of value, and
agents are as necessary in the transaction of
business as hands are in eating. The pro-
hibition of any further issue of bonds is an
other form of lunacy. Such an amendment
would be practically prohibition of the
power to make war or of the power to obtain
means for self defense. If the government
is menaced by foreign foe it must have
money to carry on the military and naval
operations involved, and in order to obtain
that money it must issue it's bonds redeema-
BILE at some future day. The proposition to
prohibit the exercise of this power is abso
lutely untenable.
Referring to these two points in the plat
form, one of the candidates nominated de-
clared that reputation was meant, and that
he was warmly in favor of repudiating
the debt of the nation. We have nc
doubt he was correct in his conclusion
Reputation as meant by these extreme fnap-
cial philosophers, but reputation is an idea
that cannot be entertained for a moment by
the people or the government of the United
States. Honor dictates that all our obliga-
tions must be met promptly and in the man
ner agreed upon. If a violation of the prom.
ises of the government is the theory upor
which the Greenback party hopes to win, il
is bound to be short-ived, for nothing is
more repugnant to the people of the country
than even hint that any part of the deb
of the nation shall remain unpaid. If i
wants to have future in this country th,
Greenback party must discard such ideas en-
tirely, and withdraw fellowship from thos
who advocate reputation.

IT has been shown that large majority
of those who are interested in the govern
ment four per cent bonds are people of
small savings, who have heretofore had their
money in savings banks. The doubtful
stability of the banks has greatly stimulated
the investments, which are mostly made in
bonds of the denominations of $50, $1O0
and $500. This is destined to be in reality
q popular loan.

desire to overestimate or exaggerate the crop,
but it can see no good reason why the dam
age should be exaggerated. The statistics
which we publish to-day show that the yield
last wear was overestimated some ten mil
lions, and it was with a knowledge of that
fact the Globe expressed it's belief that the
quantity of 1878 would equal the quantity
of 1877. In quality the yield of 1873 is
sadly deficient.
