CoNrRAorIoN THE NATIONS CURSE.

That We are in favor Of making the United
States notes, commonly called greenbacks,
and private, except such obligations only as
are by the terms OF the original contracts un-
der which they were issued, expressly payable
in coin. =,
That the right to issue paper money as well
as coin is the exclusive prerogative OF the gov
eminent, sud such money should be issued IN
such amounts as the sound basiness interests
of the country may from time to time re-
quire-Democrstic platform
The position OF the Indiana democracy
upon the greenback and currency questions
is clearly defined. The party, when last in
council, took advantage of no subterfuges,
skuIked no responsibilities, nor did it seek
to obscure the issues of the campaign. On
the contrary, the language of the platform
is bold and clear. Greenbacks should be
made fun legal tenders for all debts, public
and private, and the government should is
sue money in sufficient amounts TO meet the
sound business interests of the
country. Now, we submit, that
the financial plsnks in the democratic
platform are eminently wise and timely
They are declaratlve of a remedy for bust
ness ills aud a guarantee for future pros
| perity. We have given the figures showing
/ the total currency in circulation each year
from 1865 to 1877. the amount per capita,
and the estimated population of the country
each year. The rapid reduction of the cur
rency from 1866 to 1873 was productive OF
universal stagnation in business from which
the country has never revived. From 1856
to 1866 the currency was increased 1852 APO.
353, but from 1866 to 1873 contraction was
rapid and fearfully disastrous. We will
give our readers the figures showing the ex-
tent of contraction, and the number anC
amount of failures from 1866 to 1877:

Totals los, 565 Al 60 ,8O2 81 ,589 474 ,iI8

1t will be seen by the ABOVE figures how
the grasp Of contraction brought upon the
country business and financial disasters that
almost defy exaggeration. They extended
to every section. They included every de-
scription of business except that engaged
in by Shylocks and money sharks, and even
now, after contraction has spent its force
upon the currency, its disastrous effects upon
business has not ceased, Failures multiply
The bankrupt court was never so hard
pushed to accommodate its patrons, who
from every department in business and
every walk in life, rush into court, give up
the struggle, confess that the radical party
and policy has destroyed them, and ask
for an order of court to bury the attenuated
remains of their estates in the business'pot-
tersield. As a matter of supreme impor-
lance legislation is demanded that shall adj
vance the dignity of the greenback If the
government issues greenbacks the govern
ment should make them by its fiat receiva-
bic as a full legal tender for all debts public
and private. The difference between green
backs and gold from the start has been in a
great measure owing to the fact that the
radical party would compel the people to
accept what it itself dishonored, and
this was productive of an irrepres-
sible conflict which democrats would
long since have terminated If they had had
the power. We have shown In the above
figures how failures and bankruptcy fol-
lowed contraction, giving sum totals as fol-
lows: Contraction from 1866 to 1877, ST.
100, 5G5, All; failures from 1866 to 1878, 6 092,
with liabilities amounting TO 81 ,639, 474 443.
But this amount of losses by failures repre-
sents but fraction of losses sustained by
business throughout the country. The dem
ocratic parry In view of these failures and
loss, he prostration of business, -.the idle
ness, poverty, hunger and starvation
throughout the country, attributable in a
large measure to the radical policy OF con-
traction, demand that the government shall
issue currency from time to time in
amounts demanded by the sound business
interests of the country. The demand is
wise. 1t is universally Endorsed by the
people. 1t will win in October.

PROVIDENCE Is on the side of resumption
this year. Great wheat and corn crops mean
more money in the pockets of the people. The
1nfiatiOnistS should invoke a drought and the
consuming graSShopper-Cincinn Com
mercial.
Providence has been on the side of the
people aud against the radical party from
the first. There have been for the past ten
years great wheat and corn crops, but busl-
ness has steadily gone from bad to worse
under radical rule. Contraction has made
resumption possible, but resumption accom-
plished by contraction has been the most
fearful curse that was ever visited upon the
country. From the first democrats recog-
niZed the fact that by contract
ing the currency resumption was pos
sible, and resumption has been opposed
because it could only be brought about at
the time specified, by destroying the bust
ness of the county, and by impoverishing
the men who, having invested their money
in enterprises that employed labor, could
not be struck down without creating a
national calamity. The Shylock policy has
been maintained against the will OF the peo-
pie, and Row when John Sherman talks of
resumption the RAIDS throw mp their hats as
if some great good had been accomplished.
The resumption policy has produced a shrink
age of values throughout the country .aggre-
eating not less than 81, 1000, OOO, 600. 1t has
caused the failure of about 10000 business
firms. whose liabilities amount to about
81, 750, 100000. 1t has thrown some four or
five million people out of employment, and
filled the land with poverty. 1t would have
been wise to have listened to democrats.
The contraction would have been arrested,
industrial institutions would have been
kept going, and the people would have had
work and wages. Resumption, under the
circumstances, is not matter for rejoicing

to yield to the inevitable and

holders. It is said by those VINO
would in some measure obscure the real
causes for railroad Indebtedness that too
many roads have been built for the business
demands, aud that the competition of water
transportation was not properly taken into
account when the roads were projected. But
the fact is railroads have suffered from the
generel stagnation of business brought about
by the radical financial policy, which his

ness ills, but which filed the country with
business calanlities, from which railroads
have not been exempt Manitestly the man
ayers of good many railroads have acted
unwisely by attempting to earn dividends
upon watered stock, and so far as
they have accomplished their purpose
have been the enemies of their own
interests, for il has compelled them to place
the rates of transportation too high as COM
pared with anything else, and has had the
effect to lessen rather than promote the
freight business of the road. To those who
have taken Just pride in the growth of the
railroad interests OF the country the showing
we publish is not calculated to restore con-
fidence in the immediate future of railroad
ing. With the radical party out of power,
with no more John Shermanism in the
/ financial affairs of the country, and with the
democratic party at The head of governmental
affairs, we may hope for a wholesome reac
ton in railroading as in every other depart
ment of business.

Amount

The currency included in the above amounts
comprises demand and one and two year
treasury notes authorized by the acts of De-
cember q, 1857; December IL, 1869, and March
2, 1861; temporary ten days loans and one year
certificates of Indebtedness; treasury notes
payable in two years and in sixty days; seven
thirty three year notes; compound interest
notes; three per cent. certificates; nOn-interest
barring demand and legal tender notes: frac-
tional currency; state bank notes, and ma
tional bank notes.
The bulk of these issues were made legal
tender by the government, but that character
istic was not indispensable to constitute them
parts of The money volume; for, that
necessary, then state bank and national bank
issues could not be counted as part of the cur
rency, these never having been made legal
tenders.
We are prepared to prove, however that all
the above issues were employed as currency,
and went to make up the volume of circulat-
ing medium. The 7-S0 three year notes whose
circulation as currency is most secuted were
outstanding on the LIST of September, 1865, TO
the amount of $3.50 900 600, every dollar OF which
was legal tender for its face value under the
terms of the law "to the same extentas United
States notes. u"
We have not the space or time to dwell upon
this part of the question, but we again state
that these notes were employed as currency,
as can be proved by the very highest authority.
Here it will be seen that the contraction
of the currency from 1866 10 1873 amounted
to 81, O65, 51O,97I. In 1866 the population
was estimated at IS, 537, las, and the currency
per capita $50.76. In 1873 the population
was estimated at AZ, 245, ITO, and the currency
per capita at $174S. As we have shown, the
contraction of the currency from 1865 to
1873 laid the foundation for the bus
mess disasters that have since followed
in rapid succession and continuously
from 1873 to the present hour. The contrsc
ton of the currency from 1873 to 1877 is
shown to be S4l ,s4s, 355, and from S17.4S per
capita to $1460 per capita. This contraction
of the currency from 1865 to 1877 was pro-
ductive of shrinkage of values, and this
shrlnkage produced failures and bankruptcy.
idleness, poverty, hunger, starvation and
crime. The radical party is responsible for
this entire brood of curses that have followed
in the wake of its policy. 1t legislates for
Shylocks and while making the money
sharks richer it impoverished the working
people of the country, millions of whom to-
day do not know how they are to
obtain square meal. With this contraction
we have practically reached resumption, but
it has been at terrible sacrifice of business.
Industries have ceased to exist, thousands of
business firms have gone down under the
pressure, and millions of people who had
work and were supporting their families
have been reduced to beggars. Such is radi-
calism. A greater curse is almost beyond
the vengeance Of jehovah.

tax gatherer. THE salary list" says the
New York Herald, 'of the interior depart

Mr.. Hale's committee, and a sum equal to
zone per cent. has been requested from every
clerk The responses to the first call not
being as prompt as the managers desired, a
second circular has been sent out and dis

clerks, we suppose, will come to the con-
conclusion that they had better pay" And
such is radicalism.

last administration wonderfully, The St

there would be chance for improvement,

which swindled the people of the United States

little peccadiIloes. The second term developed
only the Indian ring rasealities, the whisky

would be an Improvement upon that. But the
