THE Neoo Era is trying Job Trotter's

The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1878-08-16

THE Terre Haute Express, quoted by the
Ne,o Era, objects to the comparison of Con-
tinental currency with that proposed by the
Greenbackers, because, it says, the Conti-
mental Congress could issue bills of credit bat
could not pay them. Well, according to the
Greenback plan, our Congress is to issue bills
of credit, but will not pay them. What is
the difference to the man who takes either ?
In any case they are not to be paid. 1t fur
ther says the Continental currency was issued
by Government without money, credit or
power. 1t certainly must have had some
credit, or the currency would never have
passed at all. 1t as certainly bad power
enough to achieve the independence of this
country and to defeat one of the great ma
tions of Europe. 1t did not have money.
So the Government of the United States did
not have money to put down the Southern
Rebellion, else it would not have borrowed.
On examination the difference between the
two currencies is found to be missing.

Anderson tries to be good enough Green
backer to secure the Democratic Greenback
vote, and a good enough sound currency
man to hold the hard-money Democratic
vote, there is no need for us to characterize
his attitude by any offensive epithet; we only
need to point out his position, the observer
can apply any epthet which suits him. The
fact is that when naturally straightforward
and honest man like Gen. Anderson, under.
takes TO play fast and loose with an important
question in order to attract two kinds of sup
port, he feels that he is in false and un-
natural position and is sore and angry at every
reference to it. But it is necessary that the
people should know the views and purposes
of the man who seeks to become represen-
tative, and it is the duty of public journal
to give such information and to make such
criticisms as the case warrants. To this can
didates must necessarily submit for they put
themselves in position to invite it. We hold
that it would be serious misfortune for a
man holding ulsound opinions on public af-
fairs and particularly on the currency ques-
tion to be chosen to represent the First Dis
trct, and it shall not be done if by words of
warning and exhortation we can help to pre-
vent it. No one can admire and estee n
Gen. Anderson in private life more than the
PRESS, or be more ready to defend his fair
fame, for which reason we the more regret
that he should place himself in a false posi-
tion respecting the great questions of the

The argus in an article of more length
than candor points out that the national ex-
penditures must be reduced if the national
revenue is cut down. Very true. But the
Argus says that the Democrats have reduced
those expenditures eighty.eight millions.
They have not reduced taxation cent. The
Republican Houses not only reduced taxation
by hundreds of millions but steadily reduc u
expenditures also, making an average ann Ia
saving larger than the Democrats have me- de.
The truth of the matter is the Democ rats
have not reduced expenditures, and so annot
rednce taxation. But they should MOI pre-
tend to have made reduction in expendi-
lures, for the people will ask why tney have
not made a corresponding reduction in taxa
ton. They have not even tried. Two tariff
bills have been offered, neither of which
could command the party support. Both
Messrs. Wood and Morrison have proved
themselves incapable of dealing with that
matter. The only tax the Democrats have
ATTEMPTED to diminish is the tobacco tax.
By the way the argus does not stick to the
point. 1t omits to tell its readers how much
the Democrats have reduced the taxes since
they have controlled the House.

MUCH OF this outcry for more currency
comes from spectators in real estate, from
men who unwisely purchased on falling
market and now want the country to save
them from the consequences Of their folly.
They are especially loud in their denunca-
ton of bond-holders. Nov what is the
truth in the matter? These real estate spec
ulators did not invest in land in order to
benefit the country, but in order TO make
money. They bought land instead of bonds
because they believed it better investment
paying higher interest. Some of them made
sold out when prices were the highest. 9th
ers held on too long, and now suffer. None
were content with the moderate interest on
the bonds, but wanted an interest of from
ten to twenty per cent. Some OF them re-
fused to buy bonds because they had no faith
in the stability of the Government and did
not believe the Union could be saved. Now
they have the impudence to come for ward
and denounce bondholders as oppressors
Ask the tenants of these landlords who the
oppressors are. Ask the men who have pait
high rents. What do these unfortunate
speculators now ask? They ask for more
currency aud an inflated market so that they
can "unload' and invest the money thus go
in bonds aud like securities. They will in.
vest in land no more. They want to gel
their necks out of the yoke and the necks o.
other people in. That is their game.
