following i what the Madison Dem
ocrGt remarksi
1.-THE Democrats of the third dis
trict appear to be in = state Of inde-
cision as to what political course
they should pursue. An anomalous
Irritation is in progress between the
Democracy and the Greenbackers.
Instead of holding their own
ground, and being thrice armed by
commanding the aggressive points
with power to compromise with the
enemy on their own terms, the Dem
ocrats find themselves on the out
skirts of . strongly fortified field
with the Grseenbackers playing the
part of dictator iu the entrenched
positions. In other words, the
Greenbackers represent the Spider
in the drama of "Walk into my
parlor." They were taught the role
last foil and they profited by the
experience. This is the unpleasant
truth, and might as we'll he told,
dispute it who listeth. The Demo-
Graf pointed out the probability OF
this situation, and was censured for
its sagacity. 1t is the old story of the
camel that, having gained permits.
sion to put its head just inside of the
tent, finally turned out the Arab and
occupied the Bedouin's quarters. The
more the party coquettes with On
insiduous enemy, the deeper it gets
into trouble.
We point out these unfortunate
facts because the situation demands
that some one apply the scalpel. 1t
is difficult for q politician to learn
that the good name Of party is
lust as valuable to it as is her repu-
tation to woman-and it is just as
easily lost. There is always some
fellow who wants to be justice of the
peace, and who, unfortunately mau-
gcs to make himself ofticiously con-
spicuous at election time. These
men will pirate about the virtues Of
politics when they wouldn't hesitate
for moment to sell all the virtue
of a party for IT. spells incident to
the position of poundmaster. Give
the men who want to go with the
Greenback crowd free rope. The
only act of decency we ask or
expect of them is that they shall
not attempt to drag the Dem
ocratic party after them, and not to
malign every democrat who sees fit
to stand by his old affiliations. There
is no more deplorable sight than
that of man traducing his party
for the sake of momentary popular
ity. The democratic party is one
thing, the greenback party another.
A man must eventually choose which
one he will serve. He may be sue.
cessful for q time in toying with
both, using the strength OF one to
win the applause of the other, but
that course will not always win. The
Democratic party-the distinctive,
absolute Democracy, should enter
the campaign on its own grounds
| If it is beaten it will still have pre-
served its own self-re spect.
/ We hope the Democrats of the Sd
district, and of every district in the
State, will act independently in the
selection of its congressman. The
State and the party need good men,
and want them untrammeled by ab'
surd and suicidal affiliations with
wanton political prostitutes"

THE scheme of the so-called Ma
tional Greenbackers means the dis
honor of the country.
1t means the reputation OF our
national obligation.
1t means the unlimited issue of
Treasury notes which, from their
volume must sink to comparative
worthlessuess.
1t means the defrauding of every
man who is unfortunate enough to
hold demand against neighbor.
1t means the swindling OF the pen
sioners of the country, by paying
these wounded veterans in notes
comparatively valueless.
1t means such an unsettling of val
ues, such revolution in finance,
such an absolute change in all our
business methods and manner of es
timatiug property, as to strike at
the very foundation of the govern
meut, and all save those who have
nothing to lose and everything to
gain, and who know no rule OF ac-
ton but selfshness.
We once more ask the sensible
GSeenbackers of the west, If they
can afford to contribute to the sue
cess of this gigantic scheme of con-
S,catian, ccufusion and anarchy

abilities. The CREATOR Of hat money
being liable to b destroyed, or to
be imperilled 81 external and inter-
nal foes; and siso, being mutsble
in itself, It follows, since tho posi-
bili:iee and probabilities which It
tach to fat money are existent be-
cause Of that over which no Congress
has absolute control, that the conf
dence upon which fat money rests
is superior to legislative enactment.
This last conclusion we can, a.
above, arrive at by the exercise of
reason. We Gao substantiate its
truth by historical facts. In Feb
ruary of the year 1920, John Law,
the originator of fias money, being
at the head of the Royal Bank of
France. induced that Government to
issue an edict prohibiting the use of
specie altogether. BY the terms Of
this edict no man was allowed to
possess more than 800 in coin under
pain Of heavy fine and coniscation.
But natural lao triumphed. France,
nearly ruined, was obliged to begin
again ON specie basis. In the mid
die of the last century Austria COM
mitted herself to the policy of issu
ing fdt money. Its money went
down, down! In 1910, or there.
abouts, 500 in gold would buy of
paper SlO05; and this despite the
most stringent laws enacted by Al g
tria. Natural Law triumphed. Aus
tria was conquered. In France, in
1850, the fat money men again came
to the front. This time they pro-
posed to back their paper by a
pledge of productive real estate
public lands-anA did. In behalf Of
France, they controlling the govern
ment thereof, anh being DESTROYS to
assure the people that what had 90.
Cured in 1920 would not again &C.
cur, they said: "Paper money is
without inherent value unless 1t
represents some special property.
Without representing some spec
ial property it is inadmissable in
trade to compete with a metallic
currency which has a value real and
Independent cfp.' bic action. There
fore it is that the paper money
which has only tie public authority
as its basis has a ways caused ruin
where it has been established. This
is the reason why the bank-notes OF
l|2O, issued byiJohn Law, after
having caused terrible evils have
only left frightful memories" Issue
after issue Of assignots took place.
Natural law began to act. The
government in order to keep at par
its paper, enacted law forbidding
the sale or exchange Of specie for
more than its nominal value in paper;
and this under penalty Of six
years in irons. Subsequently the
penalty was made twenty years in
stead of six. Nattral law prevailed
and acted until in 1896, one franc
in gold was worth Two hundred and
lightweight in paper. Not satisfied
the fiat money men replaced the old
issues with q new paper money; and
in order to make it keep at par enact
ed that whoever spike agains. new
money should be punished by heavy
fine and Imprisonment. Neverthe-
less in six months five francs gold
would buy one bundled francs pap
er. That finished the fiat money
men in France.
