various encyclopedias in common use

partisan bias. prejudiced as they
plainly are In favor OF a metallic cur
rency. it has been found necessary to
prepare and publish an entirely new
national work, fully up to the times,

But for Cen. Tom Ewing and his
Democratic followers in the House,
the greenbacss would now he receiv-
able az PAR for four per cent bonds,
and would be receivable after Oct.
'1st for Customs duties. This would
make the greenback in al respects as
good as gold, and would be the prac-
teal contamination of specie pay

other Democratic demagogues oppo-
sed it. They want to keep green

The Republican party made. the
greenback and despite all the plans
and schemes Of its enemies to render
it worthless has maintained it's credit
making it as good as gold, and will
continue 1t as a part of the perma-
nent currency OF the country. and all
efforts Of the party calling itself ~Na-
tional Greenback" to destroy that
currency will prove futile. The peo-
pie OF this country cannot be induced

Hon. z. Chandler in a speech be.
fore the Michigan Republican Con-
yention, juno Ii, spoke Of the Green
back party as follows:
But, gentlemen or the convention,
you have discovered another thing;
you have discovered another danger
TO TO the nation, hardly second to the
first. While we have been asleep the
enemy have been sowing tares. We
have hardly deemed these things that
have arisen in our midst, and alarm
ed some OF our wisest and best men ;
we have hardly deemed them OF suffi-
cient consequence to contradict.
The agents who are disseminating and
Installing these heresies throughout
all the length and bredth of this land
were so utterly contemplate that we
hardly deemed them worthy a passing
notice. But they have been uttering,
and some honest. men have become
infected with the disease. There has
been party created, as Is claimed,
called the Greenback party. 1t is a
falsity. This new edition OF the
Greenback party has no right what
ever to the name. When the Green
back party was established, was
there. [Applause.l We had exhaus-
| ted our means to carry on the wal
against the rebellious States. We
owed $40, 100000, and had not dollar
in our Treasury TO pay the debt. We
owed our soldiers for tour months
wages, and had not a dollar with
which to pay them. Our credit had
been used TO the utmost, and as q
war measure. as last resort, we Is
sued, and / voted for it, the first
Greenback ever issued under this
Government. We issued ii under q
solemn pledge that it should be
made. as soon as we were able, equa
to gold or silver coin. Applause.
Through our State Legislatures
through our votes In Congress
through our State and national con.
ventions. through every organiza-
ton known to the Republican party
we declared and Ie-declared and sol.
EMMY re-affirmed that the very
moment we were able TO make those
greenbacks equal TO coin we woulc
do so. The Republican party has la
bored year after year, and they have
raised those greenbacks up, unit
yesterday they were within l pei
cent. OF coin. We intend, gentlemen
OF the convention, to carry out tha
pledge so solemnly made. [Applause.
We intend to use greenbacks, ant
we intend that every single green
back afioat in this land shall b,
equal to one dollar. either in gold o
silver. Applause. Now, we are thu

The Inter Ocean says more than
the usual interest has centered in the
lumber supply for the present year,
and the apparent end OF the June
freshets has placed 1t within the
scope OF conjecture as to the proba-
bic supply for all the markets that
compete with Chicago. Although
manufacturers have presumed that
the log supply was largely short, as
compared to former seasons, it was
impossible to fix the correct amount
until the present tims. 1t is now
conceded that, in place OF the usual
average stock of over 100000 feet
Of logs, barely 2,OOO,OOO,OOO need be
expected to be sawed during 1878. 1t
has been generally understood that
Chicago and other Lake Michigan
ports will receive about the usual
stock, which will give Chicago 1000,
0OO, 900 feet, or about 100000 less
than 1877.
Saginaw and the railway mills OF
Michigan will not furnish to exceed
45O, oO0. 600 feet, against an average
of about 10000 900 feet and the riv-
ers OF Northwestern Wisconsin, the
st. Croix, Chippewa. Black, Wiscon-
sin. and the Upper Mississippi have
less than 9oO,OOo.O00, against 1,2OO,-
600, 900 in 1876. This aggregates
about . 900, 100000 OF logs likely to
be sawed previous to Dec. l OF this
| year, to fill the place Of $500, 100000
a fair average cut for five years past
west OF Detroit.

reform is necessary" And it
would be we'll to have it begin at once
in the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington. Col. Polk,
the Doorkeeper, is under cloud, and
there are numerous charges pending
against him which seem to render his
removal not only appropriate but neces-
sary. Afidavits have been presented
showing that he is interested as a lob.
byist in the success of measures befor e
congress, and besides has been corrupt
in the distribution of patronage, farm
ing it out for valuable considerations.
He has also larger force of EN-
ployees than allowed by law, and seems
to have rendered himself amen.
able to discipline in several re
spects. Such irregularities as those
named, in a Democratic official, are
positively shocking. Democrats hold
their noses so at the faintest smell OF
corruption on the part of Republican
that one can scarcely credit the stories
which are not only told but sworn to
against Col. Polk, because Democrats
claim to be above such things, you
know, and would have the world loo
upon them as Performers"

time. We find him now abandoning
the only reasonable feature of the plan
to which he stood committed-with
reference to proceeding to settle when
two-thirds of the bonds were registered
and insisting that the holders Of all
the bonds shall have signifed their ac-
ceptance of the terms proposed before
the hrst step towards any payment
shall be made. This means simple re-
pudiation, and is a virtual acknowledge
ment that there is no intention to pay
at all. Finn, himself, when asked as
to when he supposed the registry of
bonds would be completed, and the tax
levied, replied that in his judgment it
would probably be ten years. But he
is not such fool as to suppose that it
is possible for all the bonds to be pre-
sented within that time, nor within
ten times ten years; more or less of
them having undoubtedly been lost or
destroyed in one way or another and
will never again see the light. But
his admission that it will be ten years
before the bondholders will receive any
satisfaction makes burlesque of his
plan, and stamps it and him and all
who favor it, as insincere and deceitful.
Better far that he and the Board of
Street Commissioners should advertise
their honest intentions and say to the
bondhoders that their bill, published
last week, is clap-trap ADD fraud,
and was so intended. Their infamy is
now so thinly disguised as to not hide
it from the public gaze. They may
imagine that their motives and acts are
not fully understood, but SO bunglingly
have they been concealed that no per-
son of ordinary intelligence can be de-
ceived. Let them run up the repudi-
alton flag in plain sight, and thus be
honest with themselves, the bondhold-
ers and the people. They will then
be enti,led to credit for frankness, to
say the least, while now they are de
serving only of contempt for their
faithlessness and treachery.
