Hon. }. c. Blaine and the Maine Law.
Editor Anti Monopolist:
The county will respect the testi-

readily replied that it had nearly stop.

The manufacture was entirely sup.

and villages the traffic was almost I'M

places it still existed in the most Sc

Certainly Mr.. Blaine knows the

will accept his statements as true,

See, then. what is already gained.

RESUMPTION LAWS PREVENT RE.
SUMPTION.

1t is Il curious fact that the very
means which the government
prompted by the hard money monopo-
lists have been using to bring about
specie payment. defeats the ostensi-
BILE end IN view. The hard money
press is still attempting to make the
people believe that all that is requir-
ed to produce specie payment is to
remove the margin of the half of one
per cent between coin and green
backs. \ more dangerous doctrine
could scarcely be inculcated. John
Sherman wants the people to believe
that by enforcing the resumption act
he would improve the business of the
country; whereas it has been chiefly
through the enforcement of this and
similar acts that the general bank
ruptcy among business men and the
hard times have been produced. The
resumption act has always acted as
hinderance to business, and general
prosperity. 1t creates demand for
coin that would not exist if these acts
were repealed. That demand created
by law will raise the price of coin and
thus resumption will be defeated.
sherman legislation from the very
beginning has been on the basis that
in order to diminish the price of a
thing, you must increase the demand:
and that in order to increase the price
of 4 thing, you must diminish the de-
mand. Gold was $50 and they wanted
to reduce it to par. They passed
laws increasing the demand for coin.
These laws instead of reducing the
price of coin to par. had the very OPP
posite tendency.
If there had been no resumption
laws our paper currency would have
been at par years ago. As it stands
to-day the resumption act is the only
hindrance to resumption. Ifit should
pass it would send up coin Immediate
ly to $50. If it is repealed coin will
soon be at par. If the workingmen
and business men would exert them
selves TO get this matter pushed
through. their eyes would be opened
to the policy the government has
been pursuing.-Neo Y ork National

THE CREENBACK WAVE IN NEW YORK.

THE CREENBACK WAVE IN NEW YORK
Through the kindness of Mr.. L. c..
Spooner, we are permitted to publish
the following extract from private
letter received by that gentleman
from a friend in Erie county, New
York, Mr.. SpoOner's former home.
The city of Buffalo is in Erie county,
and Judging from the letter, we
should say that the Greenback cause
is just booming there as it is else
where.
The persons mention ed in the let
ter are influential and all have been
prominent in one or the other of the
old parties:
COLLINS CENTER. n. Y, Sept. 3.187S.
DEAR OLD FRIEND:-Hard times
and ''hard money" here. at last it S
hard to get. Greenbackers are very
plenty in this section. There will be
three tickets in the field this fall in
this county. The probable candi-
dates for assembly in this district,
(tie 5th,) are Job Southwick, Green
back; Frank Allen, Democrat; and
Chas. A. Cir. Republican. Office
oCChCAo ulO Dduly IlSuCCHCu HCl Q
about this Greenback movement.
They-the acknowledgements hold
ing meetings every night somewhere
/ in the district, and it looks now as if
one half Of all the votes sanctioned all
they say. The city of Buffalo they
claim will go the Gaeenback ticket,
and if it does, they will carry every
thing in the country. Are you coming
down this fall ! l must tell you the
leading Greenbackers what know in
this section: Geo. Spaulding, VIM.
Frye. Geo. Aihsley. Job. Southwick.
n. Hunter. NJ. Odell, H. Christy,
(names large number of prominent
mem and in fact two thirds of all
the men you know in Erie county are
Greenbackers. People are monomani-
acs about it. All farmers that owe
much are steadily running behind all
the time, and they begin to see
wherein the trouble lies, i. e. they
think they do l don't care much
how it goes. You know l am hard
money Democrat. There are plenty
of men here that were worth from
six to fifteen thousand dollars eight
years ago that can not now pay their
debts. Such men as Kerr, Conger
and jerks money lenders) have 500
now where they had 81 five years ago.
1t seems as though the whole landed
property in time would be divided
between few just such meu.

All over the South there is a
scramble by Republicans to get aboard
the National party boat. Take 'em
in, and reform them. Maybe we can
make good citizens of them.
General Buffers campaign in
Massachusetts is one grand commoner
from one end of the State to the
other.
1t is the testimony of the people of
indianapolis that the markets are full
enough of everything to eat. Nothing
to complain of in that particular, and
no complaint of the price. All that
is wanting is the money to buy with.
If beef was ten cents quarter and
potatoes ten cents ton. and the con-
sumner had not ten cents, he would
still go hungry.-Ind. Sun.

work to suit your employers, but vote

Have you heard from Maine, Maine?
There Jim Blaine lies slain, slain;
There Green hackers: no longer ours;
AT length have won their knightly spurs
o have you heard from Maine?
II er woods are full of Greenback men.
Which renders "Jim" insane;
Proclaim it b, tn with tongue and pen,
This glorious news from Maine
Have you heard from Maine etc
We've fought against the gold-bond crew;
Too long we've fought in vain
And now the battle we'll renew
Since we have heard from Maine.
Have you heard, etc.
Our sires stood 'gainst tyrants' steel
On ocean and on main;
Our good bond tyrants, Sc th9m reel
When struck by Greenback Maine
Have you heard, etc.
The old Bay State has heard the cry,
And straight bursts party's chain
At sight OF Buffers weat her eye
A-winking east at Maine!
Have you heard, etc
Old Pine Tree state, we thought you late
In joining the refrain;
But nov we yankees calculate
The unions heard from Maine
Have you heard, etc.
From worth and truth goes up the shout
While gold bugs writhe in pain,
In view OF this September rout
In grand old woods OF Maine!
Have you heard, etc.
Good by, dear jim; your hopes are slim
The chair OF state to gain;
But still thou art OF stalwart limb
Then logging 60 in Maine.
Have you heard, etc.
The fight is done, the battle won,
And in, out OF the rain,
Will rush each party's wav ring son
Who's heard this news from Maine
Have you heard, etc.
Wisconsin next will break the line
OF states in species chain
While Illinois is Just agwine''
To clasp fair hsnd of Maine
Have you heard, etc.
Assured be that victory
Has perched there to remain,
On Greenback fag-that old Pine Tree
Now tiouts the treeze in Maine!

1t is all important that as many Ma.
tional Greenback members of Con-
greSs be elected this year as possible.
If the workingmen will have patriot
ism enough to pull out from their old
parties and vote for the men who are
trying to help them, a fresh lot of
Congressman can be elected-men
that will not regard it as their first
duty to work for the maintenance of
the Republican party or of the Demo-

and maintain the great interests of

months. An account has already been given
by Mr.. Iilton'S friendS"those above alluded
with his wife was brought about through the
Intervention of legal representative of Mrs.
Tilton. on which occasion she was induced to
for herself and the children. Mr. Tilton's next
communication with Mrs. TiltOn as stated by
himself and related by the friends above re
ferred to, occurred year or SO later. II was
his daughter Alice. Mutual acquaintances,
who knew the girls physical condition, in
formed the father that unless she had a
change OF air and scene she would 90

both the girls abroad. Mr.. Tilton sought
an interview with his Wife to obtain her
consent that the girls should go to Europe
This was freely accorded, Mrs. Tilton being
equally concerned about Alice's health, and
the arrangements were made in accordance
with which both crossed the water. On his
return from Europe Mr.. Tilton-sO say these
nlends-saW Mrs. TitOn again and gave her a
personal account of how he left the daughters.
Since then Mrs. Morse has sent for him on one
occasion in relation only to business, and he
visited the house once on the solicitation of
Carroll, who wished his father to see cabinet
times when Mr. Tilton had seen Mrs. Tilton or
had been at the house. In reference TO re-
union of the family and a re- establishment OF
his friends on Friday evening, in answer to
pointed questions, that he never once dreamed
of such thing. He said there was no posi-
bility of a reunion between them, and he re-
peafed the assertion that Mrs. Titon's confes-
Sion was complete surprise to him.
