TIE CAmPAIeN IN INDIANA.

We indulge in no idle words when we say
that the democratic party of Indiana is thor
oughly aroused, and in nearly every county
is doing ypman's work. Indiana in 1878,
as IN 1876, is battle held, toward which all
eyes are turned, and the indications are that
the contest will wax warmer and fiercer I'M
Gil the last ballot is cast and the battle is end
ed. The organization OF the party through
out the state is generally as near perfect
could be desired by the most ardent
patriot or demanded, in view of the vital
issues that enter into the campaign. We do
not disguise the fact that perfect organiza-
ton, undisturbed harmony, indefatigsble
effort and unyielding tenacity are imper-
atively demanded to achieve victory. The
democratic party has the right, the truth
and the record to stimulate its efforts
and strengthen its purposes. Its mission
IS to wrest the country from the grasp of
radicalism. That Indiana may contribute
her full share in the great work, the impera-
tive necessity is presented of redeeming the
state from the UNANIMOUSLY corrupt apportion-
ment act passed by the radical party IN 1878.
To do this the legislature must be demo.
cratic. Securing the legislature secures a
democratic United States senator; be-
sides, il the legislature is demo
cratic, an increase of democratic con-
gressmen is placed beyond peradventure.
After the 4th of March, 1879, the United
States senate will be democratic, and the
question now is, shall the next house OF
representatives, be democratic? Never in
the history Of the government has the ques-
ton been fraught with such consequences
of veal or woeto the republic. The radical
party has been condemned by the people,
and no damnatory sentence was ever more
justly pronounced. This party, exercising
for years supreme control, laid its unholy
hands upon constitutions, laws and
the liberties of the people; abandon
ing the ballot it utilized bull

THE TRADE DOLLAR.

Another evidence of the result of the
policy of the republican party was brought
keenly home 70 many hearthstone yester-
day. Silver, a. should be the case, has been
remonetized, AID dollar of 4l21z grains is
now receivable for customs and is full legal
tender. AS natural consequence with the
coinage thus far issued, this Collar is al
most an unknown quantity in these
western wilds, the trade dollar having been
for some months the circulating medium.
This piece was originally coined ostensi-
bly, for the Chinese trade, and contains APO
grams or ~ more than the STANDARD dol
lar. 1t was dollar to all intents and pur-
poses, and at one time commanded pre-
MUM. The tradesman took it, ana was glad
to receive it at its face; the granger gathered
il in. and was more than satisfied that it rep-
resented what was apparent upon It's
face; poor people placed it in the
legendary stocking leg, aud children cried
for 1t under the delusion that 400 grains
was worth more intrinsically than 412K
grains. But, presto, change, and all this
delusion is dispelled. An irresponsible
party, DIR. H. r. Linderman, d.
rector of the Philadelphia mint, issues
a circular and sends it to all the
banks in the Union, informing them that
the trade dollar is not legal tender This
circular is dated July %, and was but yes
terday made public. In the meantime the
banks have been passing these coins over
their counters at par as rapidly as possible,
but to-day Will only receive them at ninety
cents. In other words every man who Is to
day the owner of trade dollar, which con-
tains seven and one-halt. more grains of pure
silver than the "buzzard" dollar OF the re-
publican administration, has been robbed of
ten cents. The damning fact is there and
can not be obliterated.
To illustrate: A farmer who lives
near Oakland sold his wheat for 81, 400
and received the whole sum in trade
dollars. He did not desire to hoard the
money, but it happened that yesterday he
wished to change the sum for
notes. and had the matter been a
question of necessity would have been forced
to stand a loss of one hundred and forty
dollars. Every man who to-day owns a
trade dollar has been robbed of ten cents by
the Infamous policy Inaugurated by John
Sherman and Endorsed by the republican
party.
The American citizen is patient and long
suffering mortal, but he will not stand every
thing. He will give literally and disburse
freely, but he would rather squander dollars
than be robbed of pennies, and ten cents on
the dollar Is little too much. AS banker
remarked yesterday, the trade dollars
are so distributed that the holders
will make no trouble regarding the
matter. That may be true, but Is the
scheme any less robbery the most Infamous?
Can the man who, working for one dollar
per day, and who by keeping his nose to the
grindstone, succeeded in saving fifty trade
dollars, be expected to feel kindly when he
awakens and discovers that he is victim of
misplaced confidence-that he has only
forty-ive dollars, and has been beaten ont

and thus got ahead of any possible competi-

body in all the island ever did before, and
other planters, seeing the success of his
work and planning, are initiating him.
Railroads are to be constructed in different

OVER 10000 acres of land IN the Hawaiian
isles have been bought by a rich sugar
refiner of San Francisco. The land has
always been considered good for nothing,
being portions of both dry mountain tracts
and heavy, swampy ground. He is draining
the swamps and irrigating the dry districts,
and is also building railroad to seaport

Taxes in Tennessee.

The question Of taxation is one
OF vast Importance to the whol
American people; especially un-
der the presentmonetary pressure.
1t is impossible for this great coun-
try of ours to be kept up without
taxes, yet as a question it de-
serves the consideration of our
legislature from time TO time as
well as of every man of thought
and intelligence.
There are but three States IN
the Union Which pay less lax
than the people of Tennessee, and
yet there are no people who COM
plaiu SO much about their tax as
they do.
For the year 1878 the taxes
assessed Tor county purposes by the
County Cour! for the people OF Liu-
coin county to pay, are only four
and half mills on the dollar, bt.
ing only As cents on the $lOO
worth of properly.
When we contrast the State of
Illinois with the State of Tennes-
see and especially Lincoln county,
we find a difference, which, upon
the first look, would seem impos-
slble to exist in the same country.
The people of the State of Ill.
iI-Ois and other Northern States
are now paying from three to sew.
en- cents upon the one dollar,
making from three to seven dol
lars upon the 500 worth OF prop
erty.
This is such a difference as
should arrest the attention of the
Northern tax payer, and fire him
With the spirit of Immigration,
and induce lin to seek home
where the most of the profits Of
his labors is not absorbed in on.

Conference. Previous to 1866,
when lay representation was intro
duced into the General Confer
ence, it required two-thirds Of
the representatives Of all the an
nual conferences, to constitute
a quorum of the highest ecclesi-
astical court. Since that time,
however, a majority is sufficient.
In lay representation the Church
South differs from its neighbol
of the North in that it allows
equal representation, while the
latter admits only two lay dele

cnce, no matter how many clcr-
ical representatives it may send.
