fully committed to the contraction policy of
the secretary of the treasury, and as he voted
at the last session against this policy,
il Is evidence that he has gone back
on his record, and has determined
henceforth to stand by his party and do all
he can to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. The greenback men of the Fourth
district will have an opportunity in October
of rebuking the Madison convention and its
nominee. Judge New, the democratic NOM

without any sacrifice of principle, and they
will do so if they are, as we take them to be,
honest in their professions. II is evident
that Governor Sexton and the republicans of
the Fourth district fully indorse Ben Harri-
son's declaration that the greenbackers are
idiots, and will aid the kid gloved leader in
having an asylum built for their accommo-
dation. The independents of the Fourth
district should make note of these things

WHEN the New Testament scriptures can
be bought for i've cents there is no good rea-
son why every person who can read should
not have a copy. The American Bible soci-
ETY. issues a copy of the Testament which it
sells for five cents, and the demand for il is so
great that it has led to the issue of a thousand
copies day throughout the month of May
Burlington Hawkeye.
Notwithstanding the New Testament is so
cheap the radical party continues lying and
stealing just as if the good book cost So in
stead of a nickel. According to radical
authority, radical office holders stole money
enough in thirteen years to purchase $4,000,
100000 new testaments, aud still Major iona.

The demonstration of the greenbackers at
Newburyport, Mass, on the 4th was attend
ed by fully 1900 persons who were enthusi-
astic. General B. F. Butler delivered the
principsl address He said: More than
100 years ago our fathers found it necessary
to unite TO protect against wrong and oppres-
sion, to disenthrall themselves from the
measures of one king and his ministers
Their children meet on the same annlver-

During the progress of the political cam
paign now commenced the arraignment of
parties will be feature that will command
the attention of the people. The policy
pursued by the radical party will be ex-
haustively analysed, and that which the
democratic party has sought to inaugurate
will not undergo a less critical inspection
There was never a time in the history of the
country when the problems to be solved
were of a more important, of more stub
born or of a more vital character. They
underlie the peace, the prosperity and the
progress of the country. The issues will
be clearly defined. The lines will be drawn
with the vividness OF lightning; the struggle
will be fierce. 1t will De remembered that
at the close of the war and for nearly eight
years thereafter the country was fabulously
prosperous. During that period we heard
nothing of over production, although pro-
duction never reached grander aggregates.
The labor market was not over supplied,
work was plenty, wages were remunerative,
the people were happy and prosperous, the
outlook was cheering and the future was
bright with promise; money was plenty. At
this juncture the radical party, controlled by
Shylocks, commenced its policy of contrac-
tion. 1t went steadily forward and culmin-
ated in 1873. Then failures commenced, a
pane set in, machinery was hushed, men
and women were thrown out of employ
nient, an army of idlers was created, and
scenes of wide and wild devastation met the
eye every where in. the country. The radi-
cal party still held power, and held on with
devilish tenacity to its policy of con-
traction. Failures increased miseries
untold were steadily augmented, but
the radical party would not relax
It's grasp upon the throat of business,
and the panic continued and still exists
While the radical party was adhering 10 its
policy of contraction, productive of shrink
age of values and universal prostration of
business. it was stealing the revenues of
the country at the rate of $l00, 900 an
nually. In housing over old records The
Washington Post remarks that il stumbled
upon the report of the joint select commit
tee on retrenchment, of which the Hon.
Thomas A. Jenckcs, of Rhode Island, was
Chairman, and which, after three years of
exhaustive Investigation of the civil service
system reported to congress in 1869, among
many other interesting things, the follow
ing facts: 'One-third more officers are APP
pointed than are needed The Indians
get but twenty cents out of every dollar that
is sent them Out of $500, 100000 called
for annually by our tax and tariff laws. but
$500, 900 ever reach the public treas

immense fact; one dollar out of every four,
amounting to $lOO,OOO0OO every year, is lost

The RAIDS are everywhere in quandary.
They do not know what to indorse or what
to reject. Radicalism is so intimately inter-
woven with scoundrelism that the party has
to be content with dealing in platitudes
The Illinois platform of the RAIDS is a case in
point. The Chicago Tribune attempts to ex-
cuse the timidity of the delegates by saying
that The convention forebore TO NEEDLE with
national inter-party questions upon which
there are individual differences of opinion"
This is commented upon by the New York
Evening Post as follows:
It is the questions on which there is this in
divldual difference of opinion that most inter-
est the country. On these questions il depends
whether we are to have civil service in
which the Dennises and the Andersons can
never hope to find sinecure positions, aHd
whether the war is to be accepted as over and
the demands Of peace are 10 receive CONSIDER
alton. These individual differences of opinion
which platform makers are afraid to recognize
can not be ignored, and the time is coming
when they will gain hearing.
That is so. The democratic party will force
the fight from Maine TO Oregon, and the RAIDS
will be compelled TO face the music

''Giving credit for this large sum, and the
regular supplies would foot up less than one
hundred and forty six millions. which is a
healthy showing under adverse surround
'ings."
1t has been shown that radical stealing
has been arrested and the expenses of the
government cut down. Two problems have
been solved. The next is to so shape legis-
lation that business will be revived the idle
set to work and an cara of prosperity inaug-
urated. This the democratic party, to the
extent of its power, has sought to accom-
plish. First by the reconciliation of the
silver dollar, and second by the repeal of
the resumption law. The first has
been accomplished, not however as
democrats desired, but 10 the extent
that a radical senate would permit. The re-
peal of the resumption law was defeated by
radicals, but the democrats defeated the
radical purpose of further contracting the
greenbacks, and to that extent advanced the
welfare of the country The democracy of
the country is ready for the campaign, and
the people will see 10 it that the reforms
commenced by the democratic party are not
arrested by placing the national house of
representatives under the control of the
radical party.

abott0m TO the Potter conspiracy, and it is TO be

is, who paid the Weber bribe?-Cincinnati

Is it not a more Interesting hunt to find
out just what John Sherman promised the

about fifty crime stained radical villains are

ward for forgery and perjury. Let us have

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

In the North American review for the cur
rent month, Mr.. Francis Parkman has pa
per upon universal suffrage in which he
takes the ground that 1t is failure. Mr..
Parkman assumes that the failure is the re-
suit of a combination of causes, among
which he gives special prominence to immi-
grafton from the lower classes of Europe, the
decay of political honesty, the decline OF
craftsmanship, and the outgrowth OF fraud
and corruption IN political affairs. 1t may
be well enough TO remark that the
decay OF political honesty, and the decline of
craftsmanship, and the outgrowth of fraud,
commenced about the time that immigration
from Europe dwindled to comparative insig-
nificance, and the radical party took posses
sion OF the government. Prior to that period
very little was heard of the failure of UNI
versal suffrage. The decline of political
honesty and the appearance OF political
knavery commenced when the radical party
obtained control Of the government But
infamous as the party proved itself
to be, it was not sufficiently potential
to debauch the American people.
or make universal suffrage failure. This
is shown by the fact that states which had
voted with the radicals abandoned the party
and placed the national house Of fepresenta-

GEN. E. FoLLENsBEE MOVES, who represents
the Eliza Pinkston administration in France,
arrived at home in Cincinnati Wednesday
evening last. He was met at the depot by ten
carriage loads of old officehoders and taxeat-
ers, and escorted to a hotel.-Baltimore Ga
zette.
NOyes went to Louisiana and then to Flor
ida TO help the conspirators put Hayes in
Office. He got hold OF a set of radical scamps
and by giving them to understand that if
they stood firm by their forger1es and frauds
that they would be taken care OF, succeeded.
As result Hayes is in Office and Noyes is
minister to France, and about a score of
Florida rascals are in fat offices. No wonder
that ten carriage loads of the advocztes of
fraud met Noyes at the depot.

only about 81 100000 has gone into circula

treasury in payment of duties. By the lst
of January next there will be $40. 600 600 of
this coin ready for use. What will follow it
is not difficult to see. If the process of coin
ing and of efforts to force circulation pro-
coed, the greenbacks will recede in value TO
the value of the silver dollar, and gold will
advance to corresponding premium. This
change of the measure of values is what is
desired by large number, thereby enabling
the debtor class to cancel their obligations
with less than the value which they have
promised TO pay.

AT the late congressional convention
held az Madison a few days ago one of the
speakers delivered the following eulogy on

speech with commentator, and declares 1t
to be "a keynote to the future"

eplogy on John sherpan. was pronounced.

for granted that the sentiments of the
speaker correspond with his own. He there
