The Republicans being flushed
over their victory at the November
elections, are now showing their
hand, and their leading papers are
demanding the demonitizing of sill
yer by repeating the law remonitiz-
ing the same. This movement of
course is in the interest of National
Banks and gold gamblers. The AS.
sociate Press dispatches from Wash
ington state that the coming Presi-
dents Message'will advocate demon
itization. Should this be the case
there will be lively times in politics
during the coming year, and the Re
publican party will have to face the
music, as the people will not tolerate
any such an outrage as is proposed
to be perpetrated upon them. The
Chicago Inter Ocean, tlus alludes TO
this matter:
sIt is a revival of the old job to
demonetize silver, and establish gold
as the exclusive legal tender metallic
money of the country. We warn
the President that he will make a
sad mistake if he undertakes any
thing of the kind suggested. The
country will criticise it with fal
more e~srnestness than they did his
adverse messages of a year ago."

Democrats need not be discour-
aged when they think of the future.
The Democratic party isn't. dead,
and if we we're destined to have a
year Of discord and reverses, it is
well that 1878 was selected. With
candidates, leaders and managers
commanding the confidence and re.
spect of the people, the old party will
be stronger than ever. We must
avoid the influences and the men who
cause thousands Of Democrats to
show their disapprobation by alb
sence from the polls.

The New York Sun, (Ind., pays
the following glorious tribute to the
Democratic party:
"We desire to do no injustice to
the Democratic party. 1t is a party
of great and noble traditions. Its
original principles are most emphat-
icallp the principles of the American
Revolution and of the Incompatible
Constitution in which the supreme
law of the land is set forth. These
principles r of the very essence of
liberty. Without them, a republic
in this country is an impossibility
and a republican form of govern
ment is a farce. Through them, and
through them only, is kept alive that
admirable distribution of authority,
that regulated independence of the
township, of the county, and of the
State, that equilibrium and that jeal-
Gus separation of local and of central
Legislation and administration
through which this country has be-
come free, great, and powerful. All
this, we say, belongs to the traditions
of the Democratic party; and for
this we have regarded it with rever-
ence as deep as a be bestowed upon
anything historical or finite"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-11-21

For years the Republicans have
controlled this Government and adj
ministered the affairs cf the country
with a lavish hand, robbing honest
industry and business to benefit the
money interest, bonds and stocks.
But there is a better day ahead when
prosperity will be restored to the
country, the thieves and money
changers will be driven out, and hon.
est labor and legitimate business will
be prospered and encouraged. That
day will come when the Democratic
party, the party of honest govern,
ment, takes the reins in hand.

The price of hogs has not been SO
low as now for the past ten years.
Even then the prices ruled low only
during a single season, when they
sold for So net. With that exception
there has not been q time for twenty
years when they sold as low as they
are selling now, as they are bringing
but $3.50 gross. Their product is
correspondingly down in price, and
pork packers are discouraged. The
cause of the depression is attributed
to the immense quantity of material
on hand, it being estimated that
there is in the country the product
of not less than 100000 hogs.

The country is saved again and
times better. Don't the farmer know
it as he drives in his hogs and sells
them at $3.50 per hundred and his
wheat at rs cents a bushel, and then
steps into the Treasnrer's Office and
pays the same amount of taxes he
did six or eight years ago, when
these articles of product brought
double what they do now? Don't he
know it when he offers his farm for
sale, that eight years ago he paid
seventy-fiye dollars per acre, and
can't get now but thirty dollars with
all its additional improvements
Don't the husband know it, who pur-
chased a home a few years ago and
made the first payment on it, and
expected to dig out of the soil the
back membranes, but now finds it
in the Sheriffs hands to be gobbled
up by the merciless money shark:
Don't the merchant know it as he
runs over his cash account at the
close of the week, and finds that in
stead of an average of seventy-fve
dollars per day, it is now only half
that amount? Don't the mechanics
and laboring men know it, who a few
years ago were hunted and sought
for on all sides with plenty of work
and jobs, but who now stand idle day
in and day out, with scarcely sufi.
cient employment to procure the nee
essaries and comforts of life for them.

THE NEXT SENATE--THE NEXT
CONGRESS.

The terms of twenty-five Senators
in Congress expire in March next.
Seventeen of them are RepUo %licans
and eight are Democrats. OF the
present Senators fifty-oue hold over,
some for two years and some for four
years beyond the close of the exist
ing Congress. OF those who hold
over, twenty-five are Republicans and
twenty-nine are Democrats, inclu-
ding Judge Davis of Illinois, who
usually votes with that party.
The elections Of this fall have de-
termined that seven of the eight re-
firing Democrats will be succeeded
by Democrats and one by a Repub-
lican, and that ten of the seventeen
retiring Republicans will be succeed
ed by Republicans, AID eve by
Democrats.
This will leave the Senate in the
Forty-sixth Congress to stand as
follows:
HOLDING OVER.
Democrats, 20 Republicans, %
NEW ELECTIONS.
Democrats, IA Republicans, II
Total, 43 Total, 80
The Democrats, therefore, inclu-
ding DAVIS of Illinois, will have ten
majority in the Senate in the COM
ing Congress; and eighteen eventful
years will have then passed since
that party had a majority in that
branch of Congress.
The Democrats, too, with the aid
of those Grecnlackers whom they
elected and who were recently OF
their party, will have o small major
ity in the next house Of Representa-
tives.
Thus we see that the Democrats
will have a majority in both branch
es ofthe Forty-sixth Congress. They
have not before controlled both
branches since the first Congress
which sat in BUCHANAN's Presiden-
tial term. The intervening period
of twenty-five years has been mark
ed with some of the-most astounding
events in the history of this coun.
try. They are full of lessons and Of
warnings to the Democratic party.
When, after the fourth Of March
next, the Democracy find themselves
in a majority in both Houses of Con
gress for the first time since the adj.
vent of BUCHANAN, will they profit
by the teachings and the admoni
lions Of the past, o the contrary.
