A Fact to be Considered.

If all the voters who are IN favor of
the repeal of the Resumption law, says
the GAINESVILLE Signal, and of the Gov
ernment's exercising the power to
create whatever currency may be
needed for the transaction of the busi-
ness OF the country would act with
the Democrats, who have shown their
faith in these measures by their works,
and have passed bills through the only
branch of Con gress in which they have
had the power, then the much needed
relief from the present financial dis.
tress would be easily attained. Work
ingmen who withhold their support
from the party which has shown its
devotion to their interests by its works
are blindly casting away their only
chance for relief. A vote cast for the
National ticket is a vote worse than
thrown away. Vote for the candi-
dates of the party that has always up
held your rights.

Who to Bla mel

1t is a universally admitted fact that
the business affairs of the people were
never before in the history of the
country in as depressed condition as
at present. Enterprise has been made
bankrupt and labor is without Just
reward. Capital has passed into the
hands of the few and been rendered
unproductivc. Bankruptcies abound
and idle men gather in the highways
and by.ways throughout the land,
while mutterings of discomfort are
everywhere to be heard. All this is not
without a cause. 1t is the result of
the pernicious legislation in Congress
onithe financial question which, for
the past fifteen years has been in the
interest of privileged capital, and op.
posed to labor, the great source from
which all the wealth Of the world is
deriyed. That is the cause of all our
woes. And who is TO blame for it ?
Since the fourth of March, 1861 down
to 1876, the Republican party has had
exclusive and undisputed control not
only of every department of the Fed
eral Government, but of nearly all the
State governments as well, and its
leading men have not been back ward
in claiming credit for all the good that
has been accomplished in that time.
That party should also be held res
ponsible for whatever of evil has re-
suited from its dministration. The
Republican leaders persist in the evil
of their ways and declare that no
steps backward will be taken in their
wicked course, and the people have
no redress except by a restoration of
the Democratic party to power. Re-
member this when you go to the polls
on Tuesday next.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1878-10-03

The doctrine of the Radical politi-
clans is that the country demands dear
money and cheap labor and low prices
for all the productions of industry.
The efforts of the Republican party to
bring about that condition of affairs is
the grand cause of the present finan-
cial distress. Will the thousands upon
thousands who have been reduced 10
poverty by the system of legislation
of the Republican party for the last
twelve years to make money dear and
muscle cheap, now rally to the sup
port of the authors of the stupendus
wrong.

Facts From the Record. i.

The first Democratic House in Au-
gust. 1876, passed bill to repeal the
Resumption Act. The Republican
Senate killed the bill. On the 23rd of
Novem Der, ,1S77, the Democratic House
passed another bill to repeal the Re-
sumption Act. This bill was also
smothered by the Republican Senate.
November 5, 1877, the Democratic
House passed bill to remonetize sill
yer. This bill was amended" by the
Republican Senate until it was hardly
recognizable, and even then was veto
ed by the Republican President, but
was finally passed over his veto by a
two thirds majority in each House.
April 29,1S7S,the Democratic House
passed bill forbidding the further
retirement of greenbacks. A Demo-
cratic House committee also favorsbly
reported bills to authorize bullion cer-
tificates and to substitute greenbacks
for bank notes.
That these and other reforms did not
become laws is no fault of the Demo-
Gratis who have had majority in but
one House of Congress. 1t requires
both branches to pass bill and the
approval of the President to make it a
law and is downright dishonesty to
attempt to hold the Democracy res
ponsible for the failure of these meas
ures of relief to the people. There is
40 hope for wiping out the obnoxious
policy of the Radical party except
through tho accession of the Demo-
cratic party to power. When you go
to the polls nextTuesday think of these
things and act accordingly.

The Democracy are in favor of the
lawful liberation of tie coin boarded

relief the Republicans are opposed.
The Democrats are in favor of re-
moving the restrictions on the coinage
of silver, and re-estsblishing silver as
money metal the same as gold, as it
was before its fraudulent demonetiza-
ton. To this the Republicans are op-
posed. .,..... .-.,...
The Democrats are in favor of the

In this hour there is no reason for
deserting the time honored Democrat
ic party, but on the other hand there
Is reason why voters should come to
It while the life.blood of popular lib
erty flows in the veins of the race.
While this Republic stands, there will
be Democratic party. Its instincts
are on the side of the people. 1t is
the historic friend of labor. 1t has
maintained these characteristics
throughout four-score years of our
nstionol life. 1t is the foe of the
money power, monopoly, and all class
legislation, To borrow q passage
from one of the speeches of the can.
vass, We add the following:
"The Democratic party has existed
for eighty years. 1t held the reins Of
authority almost constantly for sixty
years, 1t trippled the territorial ex'
tent of the Federal Republic. 1t pre-
serves the Constitution and the Union
as the sacred heritage of the fathers
1t made the Government the shield OF
the peoples rights at home, and the
sword of their defence abroad. 1t op.
posed and crashed all monopolies fall
ling within the circle Of powers. II
preserved intact the sacred rights OF
the States. 1t freed the nation of ey.
cry dollar of debt. 1t struck down
the old money power of the United
States Bank, and gave the people an
Independent Treasury. 1t abrogated
that infamous tariff system, which fat
tened the manufacturer on the labor
of the operative, and levied tribute on
every other industry, and in its place
laid customs duties for revenue alone.
1t found the Republic feeble little
Confederacy, skirting the Atlantic
and struggling over the mountains
westward I; it left it mighty nation,
girded by the ocean, the lakes and the
gulf. And now for seventeen years
it has been driven from the high places
of power, and has battled on as of old
for the constitutional rights of the
States and people. Out of power as
when in, it has been the steadfast, in
flexible foe of .moneyed monopolies,
high taxes, robbing tariffs, corrupting
subsidies. There it stands, its old
garments weather beaten and tattered
by the long campaign; its foot upon
the watch-towers of popular rights,
and it's firm hand still grasping the
sword of freedom, turning every way
like the flaming sword at the gate OF
Paradise, with its eagle eye flashing
in defiance upon the foes of Constitu-
tionaF Union and the monopolists of
power, and still ready in adj
versity, as 1t was in prosperity, to do
battle for the people, for popular lib
erty, for industrial rights"

not the same power to demonetize

The Radical politicians pratc loud.
ly and learnedly about the intrinsic
value of gold and silver money. They
seem to forget that when Congress dc.
monetized silver that had been money
for over eighty years, silver bullion
declined materially in the market,
showing that the peculiar value it
possessed as currency was that CIV
en- it by law, which also determined
its bullion value. The intrinsic value
of both gold and silver depends upon
the mechanical and ornamental uses
to which they can be put. Their VAL
ue as money is that which is impart-
ed by legislation. Let that be with
drawn and even their ornamental uses
would in q great measure be gone.
On the other hand every dollar that
is issued by the Government to defray
its expenses is real and true repre-
sentative of actual value. The Gov
ernment is the agent of the whole
people, and when it purchases ship,
a cannon or pays for services render
ed it the certificates notes, ,greenbacks,
or by whatever name they may be
called, represents the real value of
such property or service, as much as
would silver or gold, and are the evil
dence issued by the Government, as
such agent, and for which the whole
people are holden. What nonsense
then for any portion of the people to
be dishonOring their own paper mon-
ey by denouncing it as "dirty rags"
dishonest trash," and like choice
epithets employed by the champions
of the gold rings and the robbers of
honest industry. When it is univer-
sally admitted that there is not suf-
ficient coin with which to tram sact the
business of the country, and that pa
per money must be employed. what
reason is there why every component
part of the Government should not be
in justice bound to receive it for any
dues to himself and thereby acknowl-
edge its representative capacity and
its legal tender qualities? The only
reason we can imagine for not doing
so is that thereby the profits of the
bankers and capitalists might be some-
what diminished.
