stand 10 the exchange of their products
for what they buy at the city stores to carry
home. They will find an equation of
prices between what they buy and what
they sell that is as fair and profitable for
them. we venture to say, AS they have
found at any period since greenbacks were
first Issued. Ii they sell low, they get IA
recompense in buying low. The apprecia-
ton of the greenback to gold gives them
ON the one hand what they lose on the
other. For less money they have more
goods.
But. shrieks the greenbacker, what Will
you say about the debtor class We shall
say that the debtor class had their oppor-
tunity when prices were gong up and
greenbacks were going down That was
their time. They ought to have made the
most OF it by paying their deut', avoiding
extravaganza and speculation. 1t they
failed to act with prudence that is their
misfortune They knew that If the gov
ernment kept its faith with its creditors it
would resume specie payments as soon
after the war ended as it was possible and
prudent to do so. 1t was declared from
the beginning OF the issuing OF our paper
currency, in Congress and out of IL, 10y
everybody except those who were opposed
to the prosecution OF the war, that the
greenbacks were but u temporary expedi-
ent. and that specie payments would be
resumed They were not ignorant that
that time would come if the government
stood Postponement would not help their
case. Ten Years more Of irredeemable
currency would find the ranks OF the
debtor class largely increased, and re-
sumption then would cause far more dis
tress than now The earlier we have done
with lying, inconvertible paper, the better
it will be for the debtor class as well rs
everybody else. 1t is better for all who

the farmer less money for what he brings
to market. he can pay for and carry home
from our stores and shops as much OF
what they contain for the same load OF
his farm products as he could in 1856
when greenbacks were worth only one
third of their face, or any year since that
time. In the process of adjustment OF
values to the changed condition OF the

Greenbacks and National Bank
Notes.

1t has cost the people over Sl4 900, 900
in fifteen years to print the Government
"greanbacks," while the printing OF money
by the Government for the National banks
has not cost the people one cent-the
banks having paid Tor printing their notes.
Greenbacks pay no taxes; National banks
pay from $4,000, 600 to go 900 900 per
annum In State and Federal taxes. II
these banks should. ly act OF Congress, be
closed, this $50 900 900 would have to be
raised by taxing the people that additional
amount each wear.

Hon. James G. Blaine,
Prices of Labor and Products.

Scion Chase told the people OF this city,
in his speech the other evening. that the
prices of farmers produce had gone down
to very low figures. Butter. eggs. meat,
vegetables. hay, he said were selling very
cheap. Now that was pleasing to the most
of his audience, for it was made up chiefly
OF people who are not farmers. who have
to buy their eggs, butter, and all other
farm products which they consume from
day to day. They were glad to hear that
such products had fallen in the markets.
They knew it, however, before he told
them. Oar laborers might have informed
him that days work at present prices
will buy more for their table than DAYS
work 10 the flush times during the war.
or for several years after. The green
back or bank bill in which they are paid
has greater purchasing power ia these
. times than it had in those. When wages
We're high everything else was high in
proportion, simply because the green back,
In which payment was made was depre-
clated In value. Men seemed to be get
ting large wages then, but they were mis-
taken; they seem to be getting less now.
but measured by what their wages will buy.
they are doing even better than in those
times of high prices.
But il people who buy the farm products
which they consume are gratified at the
low prices for which they can purchase
such articles, the farmer who raises them
is not SO well pleased at this state of
things. He brings more to MAJ ket and
gets less money Tor it than he did That
Is the very truth. But farmers cannot sup
ply all their wants from the products OF
their land. There are groceries and dry
goods, hardware, tin-ware mowers, rakes.
scythes, and hundreds Of other things that
they must have about their houses and
farms that thy must buy in the city. The
greater part OF what they obtain in the citv
for the produce they have to sci is spent
in the city. Now let them see how they

truly and continuously loyal element Of our land.
Failure and remissness of few may destroy the
success of the whole. All bad feeling, discord
AID discomfort should be laid aside for the good
of the loyal whole. Men should, AT this hour,
feel that not their own individual interests but
the interests Of the country itself depend the r
actions. Let US take glance at the present pros
poets as presented by figures, estimates and con-
lectures.
First, the present House of Representatives has
democratic majority of 10, although at its COM
mencement the actual majority was IL the oustipg
of republican members aud giving their seats TO
democrats, giving ii the later majority. In order
to recover a majority, the republicans must carry
ten additional districts, besides holding all they
now possess. The South is now represented by
only twelve republicans, including Missouri. Of
these the democrats hope to gain ten, leaving but
two republicans in that section. Thi. would give
the democI ats msjorty of thirty nine. providing
they bold their own in the North; therefore. tax
ing this expectation of the democracy relative to
gains in the South tact, the republicans mus
gain twenty districts in the North represe nted
by democrats TO have bare majority in the next
House, which is presided over at its commence
ment by democratic clerk, who makes up the
roll. 1t Is an easy matter TO see that there is
necessity for hard energetic, lsborious and self
denying work ahead for republicans, and only
such will achieve Il victory. ln spite of the du
bous outlook, success is possible.
The doubtful districts in the North, j. e. those,
most of them, which were carried by the demo-
Gratis by about thousand ma ority or less are as
follows Colorado, LIST district. democrat seated
by the House,; Connecticut, lst and ID districts /:
Illinois, I'd. 18th and 10Th; Indiana, LIST; Massa-
chusetts, 81 and 4th; New Hampshire, lst New
York, llth 10th, Both, 3lst and sd Pennsy vania
10th, 18th and 18th; California, 4th democrat
seated by the House,; Wisconsin, 9th; New Jer-
sey 7th; in all just twenty -one districts where the
probabilities are highly favorable to republicans,
and giving the Southern representatives all away
but two, would leave the republicans equally
matched with the democrats. There are at least
ten more districts in the North which gave not
more than 1000 nor less than 800 democratic
majority, which the republicans have hope of gain
ing as they have often before held them.
They do not accord 10 the democrats a solid
Southern representation, as those districts now
represented by republicans are such as always
have given maJoIities too large to be overcome by
Southern bull-dozing, terrorization or "conclis-

Virginia, fth, Joseph Jorgenson.
Thus eight out of the fourteen or fifteen South
ern districts which have heret lfore maintained re-
publican sjoriies still claimed sure three
or four of those elected were legslated out by the
last Congress- and there is possibility of holding
them all gaining sufficient other districts to
IN Ike up any loss in these. The late elections in
Tennessee and North Carolina give great encour-
agement in this direction. / am not certain that
the Congressional Committee, of which Eugene
Hale is chairman, has made the same estimate as
| have above given, but mine. am certain, will
not vary far from theirs.
Taking the other view, am not able to give the
democratic estimate SO exactly They have al
ready gained one representative from Oregon, and
expect by gerrymandering in Ohio and Missouri,
TO gain eight in those States; also one or two in
New York, one in Indiana, one in New Jersey
one in Wisconsin, one in California. aud one in
Nevada-in all, II. These, together with the ex-
pected gain from the South, will give them large
sized working majority.
But now steps in the new National party with
Ben. Butler as godfather, and is destined to up
set the calculations Of both parties. If they can
elect 90 or perhaps even 10 Represen tatiyes to
Congress they may be able to hold the balance of
power and even control the election of the next
President, should ii devolve upon the House to
elect him. There is no use 10 denying that that
party has assumed unexpected proportions, and
with the general discomfort extsnt among the
working classes. may knock the bottom out from
many politicians Congressional expectations.
Roth parties almost totally ignorant of the
strength aud bearing of this new element, Is re-
lating to their prospects, Or affecting their num-
bers and influence.
1t is thought however, judging by the element
most swayed by such persons as Schwab and
Kesrney, that the democratic party would suffer
the most. 10 the South, too, this new party seems
to be gaining ground rapidly and is likely to dis
tract the democratic party there even more than
at the North
Summing up the situation, it Is but honest to
acknO wledge that "things is mighty oLsartain;
that, in view of this new party neither the dem
ocl ats nor the republicans are snre of major
ily in the next House. But this uncertainty
should the more stimulate the staunch, true aud
tried men Of the great republican party--ln fact
all who confess and call themselves republicans,
to renewed and continuous etfJrt to carry the
House of Representatives, and thus save the coun-
try from the designs and purposes set forth by the
Southern editor, E. j. b.
