The Democracy in several localities have
disappeared in the Greenback party; and
the GIeenback party want d flood of green
backs to issue that will spread desolation
and disaster throughout the land. 1t is to
prevent this that the Republican party is SC
anxious to keep the hegreenback on its present
coin basis, so that the coin and the green
back may circulate side by side, together
with the national bank note, for the green-
back. 1t simply means that the present vol
ume of greenbacks shall not be diminished,
but kept in circulation with the coin. With
the avowed intention of the Democratic.
Greenback party-the fiat money gentry
to flood the country with paper money,
without reference to it's redemption, an ap-
palling danger hangs over the nation, which
will be more ruinous in it's effects than an
other rebellion, should the Democracy sue
ceed. Republicans who feel the responsi.
bility of the present election as settling the
question of public integrity and opening
the way by resumption to great national
prosperity will labor diligently for the sue
cess of the Republican party. Never was
the work of the Republican party more
needed than now. Let there be a grand
old-fashioned Republican triumph, which
shall spread joy and gladness among the
people who are waiting for something bet
ter than the success of the Democratic enc
mics of the Union and the friends of the re-
bellion, which would throw back the coun-
try for century.

THE COMMON SENSE OF RE
Sumption

Americans have widespread reputation
for shrewdness and common sense, and all
that they need to appreciate a subject is
fully to understand it. The finances of a
nation are its life blood. There is nothing
more important to the individual and the
people, and there is nothing so clear and
simple, when divested of the glamor and
Intentional difficulties thrown in the way by
interested parties, than what is called ''The
Question of Finance" We propose to cast
aside the veil and the verbiage of the men
who really seek to hide the truth of the
financial question under bushel and erect
the deceptive light of wreckers to lead to
ruin and disaster. The Republican party
protected the country, and its credit rose in
the market of the world, while it's bonds,
which had been deprecated through Dem
ocratic agitation and threats that they would
never be paid, were quoted at a high prem
lum. Other nations were forced to notice
the reckless disloyality and want of truth
and honor on the part of the leaders of the
Democracy when threats of reputation
were INDUCED in, or when they proposed to
pay the bonds in greenbacks, below par
which represented money borrowed on gold
But the Republican party was trusted, as
Republican statesmen had demonstrated
their integrity and fair dealing. They were
answering in their honesty; they saw
through all deceptions and yielded to no
clamor. They represented the public con-
science, and the masses of the people when
they understand the question, as we said,
are utterly averse to tricks or devices which
shall break national contract or DISGRACE
them as Americans. Money borrowed in
coin from foreign lenders will be repaid in
coin or its equivalent; aud the greenback
which was issued to pay the expenses of the
war, to suppress the rebellion of the South
ern States and save the Union, was money
which derived its value from the promise of
the Government upon its face to redeem it
when able. Republican legislation fixed
the limit of the issue of greenbacks, the is
sue itself being made necessary by the re-
bellon, which drove gold and silver out of
The Republican party, which
had maintained the honor of the country
against all the assaults of the Democracy,
fixed also the date when specie payments
would be resumed.
The Republican party has been for years
for the 1st of January, 1879,
when gold and silver, with greenbacks,
which have been for some time practically
at par with gold, will form the circulation
of the nation. And as sure as day succeeds
night. and winter follows summer, will the
coin be ready for circulation, wher the
country will commence new and profita-
BILE departure, and American enterprise and
trade and commerce enter upon a career of
extension and prosperity.

"Vell," he say, eve don't want de gov

country to makes all of dem paper monies
vot we wants, und de government vas got
no bishness to interfere.''
'Y ou see, mine honest friend' saws he.
(und he puts his finger on dot side of his

A fine British iron ship of !, 100 tons reg
lister went shore near the entrance of San
Francisco harbor in a dense fog about two
weeks ago. Settling upon a rock, hole
was stove in her bottom and the lower hold
soon filled. In this condition she was aban-
doned by Captain and crew and sold for &C
count of the underwriters in England. A
company of steamboat owners and mechan-
les bought her for less than $4,000, and
proceeded to float her and bring her into
port, a process which was accomplished in
novel and effective manner After stop
ping up all openings in her decks and shorten
ing the lower deck to resist the heavy pres
sure to be placed under it, compressed all
was forced into the lower hold by powerful
pumps. The ship soon hoated and was
towed to town and put in the dry dock
The break in her plating which is feet by
8, can be repaired and the ship made as
good as new for $4,000. The whole cost OF
of the purchase, recovery and repairs will
not exceed $4,000, and the estimated value
of the vessel, with her repairs completed
will be fully 100000.

NOT A LABOR CANDIDATE

Mr. Y. e. Grosscup, the Greenback NOM
inee for Congress in this district asks for
the support of the laboring men, and as a
consequence the question comes up as to
whether he is a laboring mans friend.-
While we have nothing to say personally
against MIR. Grosscup for in many respects
he is an excellent citizen, we nevertheless
ieel 1t duty TO let the people of the district
know what his record has been as to labor
in the past.
On the evening of February 22d, 1876, at
stated meeting of the Bridgeton City
Council, resolution was offered to the eff
1ect that the pay of laborers upon the streets
OF the city be reduced from $1.50 to $1.25
per day. On this motion the yeas and nays
were called with the following result
1eas-J. Elmer, c. E. Elmer. J. Hustled.
Nays. II. Trenehard, VIM. r. Thomp-
son, Eli Loper.
The vote being tie, Mr.. c. c. Grosscup
(then President of CounciD voted, yea, and
the resolution was adopted.
Here was a test on a motion to reduce the
pay of the men who "ean living by the
sweat of their brow" Had Mr.. Grosscup
voted against the resolution it would have
been lost, and wages remained at 81 so per
day.
MIR. Grosscup cannot consistently ask the
laboring men of this city and district to vote
for him,

In his speech in Philadelphia Saturday
evening, Mr.. Grow answered the argument
OF the opponents of Resumption that that
event would seriously contract the currency.
He said: "With the resumption of saecie
payment the amount of money in the coun-
try per capita Of our population would be
more than double the per capita any time
previous to 1860, composed of paper and
coin, all of which would then be exchange
able one for the other, and convertible at
the will of the holder into fixed and GER
tain standard recognized by all commercial
nations of the same real value. Onr cur
rency would then be composed of $3.50, 900.
900 gold and silver; s346, 743, ,256 in old de-
mand and legal tender United States otes,
less the amount lost Or destroyed in circula-
ton; $4S, 544, 792 in fractional currency or
the silver in place of what may have been
redeemed, and 1926, 900, 900 of National bank
bills, less the amount, if any, that might in
the mean time be retired by the banks them
selves. In all there would be over a thou
sand millions of dollars of money, nearly
half gold and silver, ready for the uses Of
trade and most of it waiting employment. -

WANAMAKER's GRAND DEPoT-A cor
respondent writes: 81 have visited all the
places of note in the city, and come to the
conclusion that Wanamaker's Grand Depot
is the greatest wonder of them all, and no
one should fail to see it who can spare the
time. How such an immense business is
conducted by one man is marvel. Here
are dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes,
hats and caps, millinery goods, and every
thing in these lines in separate departments
under one roof, and larger assortment of
each than can be found in any other estab-
lishment in the city. John Wanamaker is,
comparatively speaking, a young man.
Commencing some twenty years ago with a
modest little clothing store, with quick sales
aud small profits for his motto, and liberal
ADVERTISING of the same, he has built up
the most gigantic establishment on the con-
tinent, and his success is one of the wonders
of the age. Panics only increase his bust
ness, for those wanting to economize rush to
his place, and there is no question about his
being able to undersell all his rivals. As an
instance l must relate little story, as Lin
coin says: ga neighbor of mine who accom-
panied me desired to buy dress coat; he
was shown one by the polite salesman in
attendance as soon as we entered; the price
was marked, which my friend thought not
unreasonable, and as he was about to try
how it would fit, you may imagine his sur
prise when he was informed that the price
included pants and vest of the same materi-
al ] would advise every one visiting the
city not to fail going through the Grand
Depot-it is one of the principal sights.

MIR. TOPHAM WITHDRAWS.

Just after the adjournment of the Repub-
lican Congressional Convention at Wood
Jury, it was announced with ''great -four
ish of trumpets' that Mr.. Jos. L. Topham,
of Camden e-long Republican, would run
as an Independent candidate for Congress.
Mr.. Topham, who has the success of Re-
publican principles at heart, has reconsid
cred his action, and withdraws in favor of
Mr. Robson. The following letter appears
in the Camden Post of Monday:
To the Editor of the Camden Datly Post
Dear Sir: The opposition to Geo. Nj. Robe.
son for Congress being rapidly concentrated
on the Greenback platform and candidate,
L, rather than contribute in the slightest
degree to so great a heresy as rag money,
rather than witness my country plunged in
to greater distress than it has yet expert
enced, by the election of a soft money Con
gress, withdraw as an Independent Repub-
lican candidate. Thanking my friends for
their generous support and and encourage
ment, trust they will unite with me in
casting their votes for honest money, full
tillment of national obligations and the
preservation of public integrity. Yours
sincerely and cordially,

At the outbreak of the rebellion, John
Parker quarreled with his father, James
Parker, of Paterson, N. j., the bone or
bones of contention being the respective
merits of Lincoln and Mcclellan, and John
left the paternal roof never to return. Par
ker, the father, died few weeks since,
leaving property valued at about $15, 900 to
his son John if he should appear and claim
it within a year. In case he was dead,
leaving issue it might be so claimed in be-
half Of his children. John had not been
heard from in sixteen years until day or
two ago, in response to a newspaper notice
which had reached him he wrote to his
fathers executors from Louisville, KY, re-
linquishing all right to his inheritance, COM
ing, as it did, from a ''man who voted for
Lincoln
