Germany, despite her great victo-
ries and her magnificent armies, is
paying the penalty for demonetizing
silver, and thus increasing the pur.
chasing power of money at the ex.
pense of labor and enterprise. We
quote:
\ correspondent of Berlin paper.
writing from Mecklenburg, gives a
gloomy description Of the state of af.
fairs in that province. On every side
nothing but complaints are heard.
The cost of production has increased
so steadily. that there is but little
profit to be derived from ayriculture.
The shipping trade suffers from the
general stagnation of commerce. Blu,
what weighs most heavily upon the
population of Mecklenburg is the ey.
er-growing decrease in the exporta
tion of the corn to England, which is
now supplied with grain from Russia
and from North and South America
while Russia also sends onsiderabl,
quantities to the Rhine and to centra
and southern Germany-district:
which formerly imported largely from
Mecklenburg. In Mecklenburg, how
ever, agriculture forms so prominen,
AN occupation that when the farmer
makes no money all the country suf
fers.

This is the way the good cause
grows. In Buchanan township, Mich
igan, the Michigan Sun tells us, the
Republicans have heretofore held the
town by large majorities; recently,
however. the Greenbac%ers grew sc
formidable that the Republicans uni
tel with the Hard-money-Democrats,
to exterminate the Rag Baby. The
election came off January 10Th and
this is the way the vote stood:
Whole number of votes cast 200:
for supervisor, l.. p. Fox Indepen-
dent 1888; for superindent John Dick,
Democrat and Republican %; ma
jority for Fox LOG. For justice,
Levi Sparks, Independent 1856; for jus.
tice John Dick, Democfat and Re-
publican 1875; majority for Sparks 30.
For county justice I. Shepardson, In
dependent III; for county justice d.
r. Hinman Republican 100; minority
for ShepardsOn SO.
This is only one indication among
many of the drift of events.

y The bullion sheets are bounk to
misrepresent the position of the Cur.
recy refOrmers. They now say that
the ''silver men have been very fond
ofappealing to the example of Franc e,
and insisting that the excellent credit
and revived prosperity of that coun-
try are due to her double standard. >
This is false. 1t is the Greenbac X
men who have cited France as an ex.
ample worthy to be followed. That
country's prosperity is due to the
maintenance of a paper money system
of the character the Greenback men
propose for this country. The paper
money is full legal tender, under
government control, and is practically
at par with gold. The volume Of cur
rency in France to-day is twice az
large as the volume in this country,
although we have Il larger population
and need more per capita because OF
the extent of our domain. But
France is better able to maintain q
single standard than any other nation
because she is the gold mart of the
world. Her statesmen, however, are
too sensible to abandon the paper
money policy.

The heartlesSneSS of some of the
preachers of Christ's gospel, and their
Indifference to the sufferings of the
multitude OfGod' children ARE among
the most shocking manifestations of
this selfish and merciless age.
The New Haven Union. [Green-
backer, thus rebukes a preacher of
this kind;
Last evening we stepped into the
Center church chapel and heard the
pastor speak on the tramp problem.
He appeared to think that our financial
legislation had little or nothing to do
with the Increase of poverty, and
closed by saying: II have no sympa.
thy whatever for tramps who do not
want to work.
AS these words fell upon our ears
we looked around On the sleek audi.
ence, and mentally exclaimed: "What

aroused them to a sense of the vital
character of the matter. ''For," said
he. "when depositors appreciate the
fact, that all the available currency of
the nation is but, say $500. 900, 900, and
the claims of depositors is ST. 900, ,000.-
O0O-the currency being but fifty per
cent. of the possible demand from
this source alone-they will be very
apt to call promptly for their money,
fearing that if they delay. more active
competitors may exhaust the supply,
of which there is confessedly and sta
tistically but half enough in the ma
tion to pay off the savings bank depos-
itors alone, leaving nothing for the
liquidation of other liabilities and the
requirements of commerce.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-02-21

We observe that an old fashioned
stay-law has been proposed in the
Ohio legislature. arresting all excu-
tiOns for the collection of debts for
one year. This is another exhibition
of the same disposition to trifie with
the obligations of contracts and to
resort to all the false expedients OF
stimulating prosperity, whose failures
fill the pages of economic history.
This would be sectional issue on
an Ineligible basis, we admit. It
would probably illustrate anew to
Herbert Spencer the progress of civ
iliZation, which first meets and modi-
tieS the coast tribes and brings them
under the influence of at least a com
mercial sense Of the expediency of
common honesty, while the interior
tribes of men are still reveling in the
belief that in the long run cheating
wins more than honesty, that capital
lists. traders, banks and bondholders
are sharks preying on the goods OF
honest folk. and that more and cheap
er money is practicable substitute
for the homely virtues of thrift and
toll.
The democrats, to get their pattern
out of this piece of goods, claim the
votes of Ohio, Iowa and Nevada, and
reckon as doubtful Pennsylvania,
Illinois. Wisconsin and Oregon. The
financial question will never carry
Iowa over to the democrats. however.
The republicans of the state are com.
mitted to the policy of debasement as
much as the democrats are, and the
disposition to protect the national
credit is still stronger among the
masses of the people. If either party
can carry the state for silver, it N muSt
be the republicans. So through the
west. The silver delnsion originated
with the republicans, has been most
actively propagated by them, and if
the next presidential election should
turn on this issue, the silver party,
or the party Of financial debasement,
would not be recognizable as the DEM
ocratic party of 1875. For the western
democratic leaders to cut themselves
off from the Tilden regency will be to
cut off the dog s tail close behind his
ears. They will find themselves a
sizaole carcass, but not the same po-
litical party. If this result should be
accomplished, the country could not
be totally ungrateful to the ghostly
''dollar ofthe daddies." Involving as
it would the separation of the old con-
servative southern communities of
South Carolina, Louisiana, and proba-
bly, Virginia from the rest of the
south, breaking up completely the old
organization and leaving the elements
in what the chemists call the nascent
state, ready to take new organization,
the country could probably we'll afford
to go through the experience for the
sake of clearing the atmosphere of
these exhalations from onr CONNER
cial distress. Resumption promises
to be accomplished in the mean time
in spite of the reaction, thanks to the
firm stand of Mr.. Hayes, and the poll.
cy of financial delirium tremens would
cease to be of vital importance about
the time it had been we'll buried at
the polls in 1880.
