Assessment for
The Portland daily press., 1878-05-02

Our farmer correspondent, John Alden
has some reflections elsewhere, upon the eff
feet of initiation of the currency upon farmers
and farming interests, and cannot see his
way clear to go into the "National move
ment''. His suspicion that aninfation Of the
currency works to the harm of the laboring
man and only benefits the speculasor and
the hummer who live upon the proceeds of
the toll of others is we'll founded. We COM
mend to his attention these words of Daniel
Webster:
"The very man Of all others who his the
deepest interest 10 sound currency, aud who
suffers most by mischievous legislation in mon
ey matters, i5 the man who earns his daily
bread by his daily toll. A deprecated curren-
cy, sudden changes of prices, paper money
falling between morning and noon, and falling
still lower between noon and night, these
things constitute the very harvest time of spec
ulators, ard of the whole race of those who are
at once idle and crafty. But the la
boring man, what can he hoard? Preyng on
nobody, he bebcmes the prey of all.
A dlsOrdered currency is one of the greatest
political evils. 1t undermines the virtues nec-
essary for the support of the social system and
encourages propeDsities destructive to its
happiness. 1t wars against industry, frugality
and economy, and it fosters the evil spirits Of
extravaganza and speculation. OF all the con-
trivauces for cheating the laboring classes of
mankind, none has been more effectual than
that which deludes them with paper money.
This is the most effectual of inventions to fer
tilize the rich mans fields by the sweat of the
poor mans brow. Ordinary tyranny, oppres-
sion, excessive taxation, these bear lightly on
the mass of the community, compared with
fraudulent currencies aud the robberies col M
mitted by deprecated paper"

AT meeting of the committee of the Spin
ners and Manufacturers Association in Man
chester, a communication from the operatives
was received, offering to submit the subject of
a reduction of wages to arbitration. But the
committee decided to refuse arbitration. II
was expressed as certain that unless the strike
terminates before next Wednesday, the Pres.
ton employers will again close their mills.
The first arrival of the season from the Mag

since last autumn. The seal fishery on the
shore and ice was failure. Herring have
made an appearance in small quantities.

we distinguish our paper dollar of ninety-nine
cents from dollar of hundred cents by
calling the latter gold dollar The Buenos
Ayres people had the honesty to acknowledge
that their ''dollar" was worth but four cents,
Though they clung to the old term as we do)
while our Greenbackers contend that our
"dollar'' has always been worth hundred
cents, and that it Is gold which fluctuates in
value. The Herald correspondent however
does not make this mistake. He recognizes
the fact that the coin dollar is the only dollar
of hundred cents.
There is something more to be said. At
the time the paragraph the Herald quotes ap.
peared in the PRESS we supposed the paper
dollar of Buenos Ayres to be still worth four
cents. We were mistaken. 1t is now worth
less than three. So long as the people be-
lieved that the Government would keep its
promises, pay its notes at four cents ON the
dollar, and issue no more the value fixed by
law was maintained. Thus the evil results OF
fuctuating currency were avoided, though
by national dishonor and bankruptcy. But
will keep faith, the value of the dollar is again
fuctuating. Trade is once more disturbed
and values of all kinds unsettled. No man
who sells goods on credit is sure of getting
the value for which he disposed of them.
Trade is once more gambling, and the coun-
try is in the way to its old trouble and mis-
cry.
We see what redundant and deprecated
paper currency has done for Buenos Ayres
and we can judge what it will do for us.
The parallel between the financial policy of
that country and the financial policy
of the greenbackers is so evident that we
only need to call the attention of our readers
to it. Perhaps the Camden Herald, in the
cause of truth, will publish an account of the
money of Buenos Ayres, even though sit
might iDjure the National party" After
misleading its subscribers it should in justice
to them and to itself set them right.

GLOVER does have the worst luck. He de-
MED the assertions made by some of the
newspaper correspondents concerning his
staff of inquisitors, and they went to work
and proved their statement. 1t was shown
by them, for instance, that his assistant
Moore, after purchasing goods in the Canada
smuggling case with government money and
having them smuggled into New York, had
them seized on information which he gave.
and then claimed and received an award for
discovering and reporting them. 1t further
appeared that he had reported them for seiz.
ure as the goods of one Spencer when he
knew that this was an assumed name of his
assistant, the notorious G. S. Bell, and that
he had no ownership in the goods. Another
thing which Glover brought out without in
tending and thus had spread upon his record
was history of his assistant Moore's attempt,
some years ago, to fix a false charge of MUIR
der on Raymond 81. Perry of Bristol R. l.,
and have him kidnapped and taken to Texas
for trial on this charge.

WHEN the New Era is convicted of lying
it shows no shame but goes on repeating the
lie. 1t publishes week after week para
graph purporting to be from the New York
World, the authenticity of which has been
repeatedly denied by that journal. This is
the latest denial of the World, appearing in
its issue of Tuesday, April 3Oth:

sends us word that the following sentence, at
triouted to the World has been published 10 a
paper called the New Era. in chat city, and in
other OF what he describes as "greenbsck
papers" in the State.
"The American laborer must make IN his mind
hencetorth not to be so much better off than the
european laborer. Men must be content to work for
less wages. In this way the working man will be
nearer that station in life to which it has pleased
God to call him."

tcuiar calumny. which is of importance to us
solely because those who propagate it do so
with intent to mlsrepresent not only the World
Dot the Democratic party. We have more
than once explained that no such sentiment
was ever expressed in the World, and that the
original inventor of the paragraph was delb.

in accordance with decree Of the Pres

station at Montreuil-sous- Bois, has been
nominated Chevalier of the Legion Of
Honor The dignity is conferred upon
the lady in recognition Of an act Of cool
ness and intrepidity performed at the i'm
minent risk of her life during the Franco
Prussian war OF 1870. The particular
privileges attaching 10 the Chevaliership
Of the Legion includes the right to a sa-
lutte from the sentrles on guard at the va
rious military stations In the year 1870,
Mademoiselle Dodu, then very Young
woman, held the appointment of the tel
egraph station at Pithiviers. War broke
out between France and Germany. and
the charge OF the telegraph became an
important and responsible duty The
district surrounding Pithivlers was occu-
pied by the invaders, and large force of
Bavarians encamped near the town itself,
which was completely at their mercy.
The German strategic arrangements de-
pended largely upon the perfection of
their system of telegraphy, the slightest
hitch or the least disarrangement of which
might not alone cause the annlhilation of
