York was believed to be practical redemption in all
parts of the United States. Actual redemption was
confined to single place from the necessity of
maintaining only one coin reserve and where the
coin could be easily accumulated and kept.
With this view of the Resumption act, the Secre
tary will feel it to be his duty, unless Congress
otherwise provides to direct that after the LIST day
of January next and while United States notes are
redeemed at the treasury, they be received the
as coin by the officers of this department in all
payments in all parts of the United States.
If any further provision of law is deemed neces-
sy by Congress to authorize the receipt of United
States notes for customs dues or for bonds, the
Secretary respectfully submits that this authority
should continue only while the notes are redeemed
in coin. However desirable continuous resumption
may be, and however confident we may feel in its
maintenance yet the experience of many nations
has proven that it may be impossible in periods of
great emergency. In such events the public faith
demands that the customs duties shall be collected
in coin and paid to the public creditors. and this
pledge should never be violated or our ability to
perform it endangered.
The tendencyof late among commercial nations is
to the adoption of single standard OF gold and the
issue OF silver for fractional coin. We may, by
ignoring this tendency give temporarily Increased
France until our market absorbs them. but by
adopting silver standard as nearly equal to gold
as practicable we make market for our large pro-
ductlon or silver and furnish full honest dollar
that will be boarded transported, or circulated,
without disparagement or reproach.
1t is respectfully submitted that the United
States already so largely interested in trade with
all parts of the world, and becoming by it's popu-
lation, wealth. commerce and productions leading
member OF the family of nations, should not adopt
standard OF less intrinsic value than other COM
nations

A Voice they Cannot Help but

Captain n Dumont, an ex-Federal
soldier. and for several years after the
war in charge of Federal Signal Ser
vice Observatory in Massachusetts. of
which State he is native, we believe,
has issued call for convention of
Northern men, who have resided in
the South sufficiently long to Judge Of
the merits Of the location, to meet in
to prepare statement, make address
es, etc, for publication in Northern
papers concerning the advantages and
disadvantages of the States of North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Geor-
gia, as homes for Northern men.
The idea is an excellent one, and we
hope the State press will assist IN
urging men of Northern nativity of
whom there are dozens in every
county. to attend, and speak their
minds freely. AS Captain Dumont
remarks -" many of the Northern
papers are giving wrong notions as to
how Northern people are IT ceived :;
you know many of our friends will not
put much faith in what Southern mer
or papers say on that head / have
consulted with a number of gentlemen
who have moved from Northern
States since the war, many Of them
ex- Union soldiers and the conclusion
we have reach d is that Northern men
who have settled in the South have in
their hands the soluti n Of the qu. IS

Our status.


We are now ready for the election,
so far as a list of candidates-State,
Congressional and County is con-
cerned. The unanimous renOmina-
ton of Garfield, in spite of the ger
rymandering of the District and past
opposition, is a. due recognition OF
fidelity and worth. Though we
have been disappointed by the de-
feat of our old friend Stiles, for Sher-
if. and many of US felt as our Rock
Creek correspondent has it, like re-
bnkiug the convention for it, yet
our sober second thought leads us to
approve of the steady position of our
beaten friend-no boiling! Such a
precedent is not good one to in
dulge without strong provOcation,
and we are now of the opinion that
the nomination of Maj. Jones was
secured by no disreputable means,
as conventions are managed. He
will be a new man, and with the ad-
vantage of a county acquaintance.
But he has been a resident of the
county for over four years, and has
been an active, earnest Republican.
He is unobjectionable in his bearing
and intercourse with acquaintance.
He is endowed with full average
ability, and indulges in opinions and
stands by them as most good men
do. He was opposed to the monu-
ment, and to the "young man" move
ments, and did not shrink from max
ing that opposition as effective as
might be by fair and honorable
means. He has agood war record,
as we learn, having enlisted in Wis
consin as a private and come out of
the service occupying the position of
Major. We cannot see that there is
any impedient to his election, and
therefore, give him our recognition
and support. The other county
nominations are unexceptionable
men, have been tried, and their fdel-
ity approved. Let us then give the
whole ticket a hearty lift at the
polls, not forgetting our old friend,
when something else may offer
worthy of him and his honorable
ambition.

Hard Times.


Prof. w. G. Sumner, of Yale Col
lege, has been before Mr.. Hewitt's
committee and has given his view of
the causes and the cure of hard
times. The causes, he considers, are
dsep-seated and partly worldwide.
The railroad, the telegraph and the
steamship have revolutionized indus
try, made unnecessary the accmula-
ton of stocks of goods, and so re-
duced the amount Of labor required
to produce; the invention of machin-
cry at first destroys capital and dis
places labor,--thus the railroad has
destroyed stage-ooach and the canal;
four years of war were spent in de-
stroyiDg capital, turning men out of
industry, and keeping them from
production,-the nation was all that
time getting poorer, but succeeded
in showing off the disasters for a
time; the effect of paper money has
been to draw men into the cities
where is a surplus population, which
must be redistributed throughout
the agricultural districts, and the
armies of tramps we read about are,
he thinks, composed Of men who are
seeking just this relief, especially by
going West. Remedies he has none
to suggest. Government cannot aid
emigration by any direct means; it
has simply to give man the greatest
possible liberty for his develope:
ment, and prOteetiOn for the prOduc-
ton of his industry, It cannot re.
duce machineryi that would be sim
ply to reduce the production Of
wealth; for it is machinery that hai
cheapened luxuries and made the
condition of the laboring man SO i'm
measurably better than it was a cen
tury ago. 1t cannot determine the
distribution Of wealth; each man
gets what comes to him by industry
ability, education, energy and self
denial; society cannot fix his pro
portion for him. In brief, the pres
entsuffering is the'fnevitable penalt,
the human race has to pay for tn,
improvements It Makes" there is n,
way to prevent it; each man must g
on "trying one thing after anOths
till he betters his condition" Prof
Summers diagnosis seems bette
than his prescription.

: We regret to see our cotemporary
the StGnddrd-so much exercised
over an allusion to the character of
Ex-President Grant, with the spol-
taneous and incidental thought of
third term. The energy of his adj
ministration held the South level
and respectful, and the misfortune
of showing himself a bigger man
than Lee, will never be forgotten or
forgiven. Large Republican maiori-
ties in the southern States,if neutral
lied and subdued, is all well, and
the administration that will suffer
these things is a good and commen.
dable one, but such rulers as Grant,
who insures and secures the BULLDOG
I'd Republicans their constitutional
rights of suffrage, is not the kind to
be tolerated or we'll spoken of. The
prospect of another nomination and
election is rather gratifying one to
most Republicans, although the dis
quiet it seems to bring to our Demo
cratic friends may in some small mea.
surO cause mixture of sorrow and
regret. Rampant Democracy re-
spects nothing so much as a strong
arm and resolute purpose and a
readiness and promptness to apply
them. ,r.a1
