OF PORT ROYAL.

READ the official proceedings of the
Congressional Conference of this, the
Eighteenth district The choice Of
this county was not nominated Mr..
Fisher, the nominee, is citizen of
Huntingdon county, where he is iden-
titled with the coal, and grain, and
milling interests. The maintenance
of the principles that won In the war
against Rebellion, the maintenance
of an honest currency, and the pre-
vention of the passage of Congress
sional acts that propose to pay mil
lions upon millions of rebel claims,
going SO far as to include pay for the
emancipated slaves, make it impera-
lively necessary that the next Con-
gress be a Republican Congress.
The 18th district is one of the twelve
districts that must help maintain the
integrity OF all that was won in the
war that the STAKEHOLDER made under
the bitter cry of State Rights, and
that Capital should ovn its labor. If
you propose to so back of that record,
and help undo what was worked out
through a sacrifice of many precious
lives, and by the creation of a mon
strous debt, which will take years Of
patient, honest toll to pay, vote
against Fisher; but if you believe
that what was won through the trib
ulation of the war against Rebellion
IS night, vote for Fisher Which will
you do-become an instrument, indi-
rectly, to break down what was gained
for the common rights of men by the
war, or become an instrument, ind
rectly, to maintain or support what
was gained for freedom, and the com
mon rights Of men?

UNDER the inspiration u the wool
ed retreat of the Wiiiiamsport inhs-
tor, at Minnequa, Col A K. Nc
Clure gets off letter on the aues-
ton of the hard times, the want of
cheap currency, and the prospects OF
the Greenbackers. 1t was pleasant
piece to read, and one who knows no
better would be led to believe that
the country never passed through
such times. But if the Colonel had
Just refreshed his mind with the
scraps of history, he could have told
MS readers that after the Revolution
ary war of 1116, the currency was
repudiated because it could not be
redeemed in coin, and because the
financial wisdom of that day failed to
fund the debt. He might have told
how after reputation the country
was depressed so far below the pres
ent degree of financial distress that
there can be no comparison made
between that time and this. He
might have come this way in the
progress Of events AID informed his
readers of the dreadful financial dis
tress that followed the war of 1872,
and the distress that periodically, at
the intervals of ten and twelve years
from 1872 to 1857, came upon the
country, and not only deprecated
property, but entirely destroyed the
bank currency, such as it was If the
Colonels prediction should come
true, as to the intent and purposes of
the people on the financial question,
q financial distress such as followed
the Revolutionary war of 1776 is
about to break over the country
but, fortunately, people do not need
to weaken and grow sick over the
dreadful financial gulf that the Colo
mel predicts, for he is neither a
prophet nor the son of a prophet,
and if his friends claim for him any
such honors, they are reminded of
his brilliant prophecies of the defeat
of Hartranft, and of the election of
the lamented Horace Greeley. AS
writer the Colonel is a success, but
his prophetic qualities are at fear
full discount

TIE cry of the Democracy and
Greenbacker is that there has been
too much contraction in the money
of the country, and that there should
be as much money in circulation in
proportion now as there was in 1860.
Staticians say that in the year men
toned there was paper circulation
OF S307,000,000. The allegation is
that if that proportion had been kept
up, the panic of 1873 could not have
taken place; but the allegation fails
of being correct when the statistics
for the currency of 1873 are looked at;
they prove that in the last year men
toned the paper currency amounted
to S750,000,000

A cf<rAIS quality Of critics are con-
demHing the government for having
two kinds of siirer dollars IN circula-
ton. They say the government
should have only one kind of silver
dollar. or, if there are two pieces in
circulation, issued by the government
they should be both Leguiised. The
criticism has arisen from the fact Of
the circulation of the trade dollar.
The facts in the case are these .
The trade doil0r is not o government
coin; it was minted in the United
States mints by commercial people of
California, who paid certain amount
to the government for coming the
haie dollar, which was to be used in
foreign trade in the East, where the
paper money of the great Republic
is of no value. The trade dollar has
a grains more OF silver than the
Bland dollar, the dollar of the dad
dies, which is the government dollar
"A legal fender coin. The govern
ment has no two coin silver dollars in
circulation The trade dollar is not
government coin, but the intrinsic
value in it keeps it in circulation it
circulates everywhere, among civil
lied people at its real value. In Asia,
Africa, England and Europe it will
pass at its intrinsic value without the
endorsement of men or people, or

The National debt is funded. The
political heresy of the Democracy
and the Greenbackers is in their pro-
posal to unfund it. If the debt of
the Revolutionary war, Continental
money, had been funded, the country
would have been spared the loss and
blistering disgrace of the repudia-
ton of the Continental money. If
the Democracy and Greenbackers
succeed in unfunding the debt of the
United States, the fate of the cur
rency thrown upon the country will
be the fate that overlook the Cont
mental money. The great mass of
the people who are working in that
direction certainly do not desire to
bring about a state of Reputation.
