THE TRUE ISSUE.
The Money Agitation Boiled Down-The
Whole Thing In a Nutshell.

The editor of the ,Sauk County
News was formerly Greenbacker.
He looked the situation over, made
himself acquainted with the facts and
came to the following sensible con
clusion:
Honest money or shoddy. The money that
harmonizes with the money Of the world OF
fiat paper. The solemn pledges of the people
through their representatives 20 pay the pub
lie debt or Reputation. The issue is now
brought squarely before the voters of Wiscon-
Sin. The platforms are all made and the can

money on the side of coin, for basis votes
against it. there is TO recommend it the prac
teal working of financial and economical
system that the experience of ages approves.
On the side of fiat there is the sad experience
of failure whenever and wherever il has been
tried. The honest money system will give life
to and stimulate business energy, settle and
establish values on permanent, prosperous ba-
sis, encourage manufacturers and give employ
ment to labor. To establish fiat" theory will
take years of doubt and unrest and disaster to
the whole people and end in financial ruin.
Do the people want to try the experiment. ut
such cost? We think not, least of all, the
people of Wisconsin. The booming sound of
the first cannon fired on Sumpter foreboded
less of evil to the country than would the as

Beware Of False Teachers.

Every reader of the HERALD knows
that the sword of the fiatists is false
hood. Their orators and writer's have
made converts wholly through this
fundamentally, No man who has
read the HERALD and has taken the
least pains to satisfy himself as to its
representations can help knowing
what we here state. Their orators
have stood before the people with
statements and their writer's have
proclaimed statements which men
both decent and informed would no
more tell in candor than they would
tell that on every quarter section in
this county there is family of ghosts
that by consplracies depredate upon
the people and keep them poor and
unhappy. And, we are ashamed TO
say it, there are hundreds of men
men MEN ], ENTHUSIASTICALLY rab-
id, crazy in the zeal with which they
repeat stories put into their ears on
finance, that are as silly as the cheap
est ghost story and much easier refut-
ed as 10 fact. There is no time now,
to clear the minds Of those still Joined
to their idols. We want to say this,
however: We are appraised of last
grand effort to stuff the people with
repetitions of the old lies and with
stocks of new ones on the last day be-
fore election, when there is no time or
opportunity to deny falsehoods or
clear up bewildering gush. This work
is to be done by speeches and by doc
uments. We give warning. What
more can we do? Voters of Grant
County, you are called upon by the
sharp agents of deep and damnable
conspiracy intended to lead to your
own rum. Are you beguiled? Are
you going into the spiders parlor !?
Are you going sniping? To be candid,
what is to be the record of noble
old Grant County? One that shall
be in keeping with the past, that ev.
cry man prides in ? or one that we
shall ever look back upon and blush?

WE do not want our old friend
Bate to be put into any such compli.
Gated position as his election would
find him. He used to be a most un-
compromising Republican. He hated
Democracy. Next winter U. S.
Senator is to be elected. They are
saying in some quarters that he has
promised to vote for a Democrat. He
denies it to Republicans and how can
hep Only last May he issued a cir.
cular denouncing the sale of their fiat
Chicago patent to the Democracy. In
rhat circular, speaking for his party
he said:

our manhood, principles, political education
and reading to the hands os political party
whose record has been upon the side of slav.
cry for upon no living issue
are the Democratic and Republican parties
sntngonistic, etc.
But if friend Bate votes the ticket
he helped nominate it is hard to tell
what transfers he may make of bis
manhood. We shall not presume to
guess or advise upon that point. We
are content to know just about how
Judge Mills will vote.

1'ilden's FAN.

The HERALD has not had room for
the pages Of dispatches that have been
unearthed as passing between Tilden's
agents in New York and in Oregon,
Florida and South Carolina. The
New York Tribune has had an agent
at work several months deciphering
those mysterious dispatches. Having
found the key to the cipher they were
easily translated and the attempts to
buy up the votes in Florida or South
Carolina or both are transparent.
There are too many dispatches for us
to give room to anything but few
extracts. Just after the election Til.
den sent an agent named Weed to
South Carolina. A few hours after
arriving there he appeared to have
come to the conclusion that that State
would be counted against Tilden by
about 1000 majority. He then tele-
graphed dispatch Gin cipher TO Til
den's agent in New York. Part Of
this dispatch had this inquiry:
IF few dollars can be placed in the Re-
turning Board to insure, what say your"
The same day dispatch was re-
turned which contained among other
things this:
"The expenses of what you do will be fully
met"
Weed then telegraphed-
IF the Returning Board can be procured
absolutely, will you deposit $4,000? Must
be prompt?"
Two days afterward Weed inquired
by telegraph:
"shall increase to $4,000 if required to
make sure ?"
To this the following very definite
answer was sent:
"You can 60 to fifty if necessary, perhaps
use future prospects tor some part"
There is more of the same sort but
this is enough. 1t was enough to
make even the New York World for
sake Tilden. In fact all the Demo.
cratic papers that hold up for man
only while he is successful denounce
Tilden. He is now shown to be mixed
up in corruption just as the Republi-
can papers charged and it is impossi-
BILE for them to stand by him any
longer. He has answered in card,
denying any knowledge of the dis.
patches but it only makes the matter
worse. His old friends laugh at his
denials. We publish elsewhere what
Peck, one of his former supporters
has to say of him, under the head
Poor Sam Tilden.
In the light of these dispatches it is
as good as cool bath to read the fol.
lowing resolution adopted sometime
ago by the New York Democratic
State convention, and in substance
by many other Democratic conven-
tons:
Resolved. That by an infamous conspiracy
or force and fraud the high officials and unre-
pudiated leaders of the Republican party an>
nulled and reversed the nations choice for
the Presidency, and put defeated candidate
in the chair of Washington, and cheated the
people of that reform of the Federal Govern
ment which their ballots had demanded and
| ordained.

THERE we have it again Another
evidence that the fiatists are discour-
aged and mad because that so many
of the ways for getting money with
out work-so many of the tricks b.
which working peoples money is put
into witty mems pockets, are cut off.

they never earned. Well, well; no
wonder the rascally fatists are mad.

They are all men whom you know

Grant County when so much unscru-

done this year by the opposition to
the Republicans. Be on guard,

IT is a little singular Cor is it p
that in the present political canvass
no men OF heretofore known ability,
men whose opinions were ever worth
quoting, are in any way engaged
The mouths Of The great lawyers of
the Democratic party are stopped.
There is not one of them out making
speeches. Mr.. Bushnell who did
heroic work the last two years has
no appointments this year. Mr..
butcher, of Boscobel, unwilling even
to give tho folly the assent of silence,
is out making honest money speech
es. Mr.. Seaton. OF Potosi, the
noblest and ablest Of the old Democ-
racy, makes no speec hes, and the
Democratic lawyers of Platteville
are silent. None are willing to CON-
NIT themselves 10 what they know
Will ever after be regarded as the
next thing 10 idiocy. The same is
true Of editors. There is not an
editorial writer in the State Of Wis
consin having reputation for ability
or sagacity, or who thinks thore may
be any reason why be may expect
such boon in the future, who is
willing that his files shall perpetuate
q record of the fat weakness. The
Prairie du CHEN Courier, tho Oldest
living Demo cratic paper in the State,
sets dead against such nonsense.
Tbe Mineral Point Democrat is a
stubborn hard money paper. The
Green County Reformer, which was
"Liberal," opposes all the imitation
schemes. In La Fayette County
the Democratic paper stuck to Goth
rem until he declined, and Cothren
ridicnles fatism. In Grant County
the fiatlsts choose as their editorial
champion one who can hardly tell
the difference between a promisory
note and scholars certificate. In
short the business Of managing the
campaign is put upon men who
would not surprise the people if,
like the Virginia Jasper, they would
enter the lecture field to prove that
the Earth is fiat and the Sun re-
wolves around il.
