The Hard.MOney Platform.

Three years ago the battle between hard
money and soft money was fought out in
Ohio. At the opening of the campaign the
infationists had decided advantage. For
months they had had nearly their own way,
and had distributed their papers and tracts
in every district of the State. But when the
scheme Of ''absolute money" came to be fully
and candidly discussed on the stump the err
rors and falacies of it were brought to the
attention of the people and The result of the
election was hard-money victory.
The same contest and the same result may
be predicted in Maine. The soft-money men
have led many astray by their sophistical ar
guments, but full discussion Of this theory
of "absolute money!" such discussion as we
hope to have before the campaign closes,
cannot but convince the majority of the con-
verts to the "Nationap' doctrine that they
have been deceived and misled. The contest
will be. not over the national banking system
which is not at this time in question, but
over the nature of money. When the bank
charters expire, as most of them soon will, it
will be time to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
newing them. At present the issue is that
of fredeemable or irredeemable paper money,
the question is whether We shall make our
greenbacks equal in purchasing power to
coin, or whether we shall adopt system of
inconvertible paper currency, system which
has been often tested under the most favora-
bic conditions aud has always proved fail
ure. In this contest the hard-money men of
Maine may well profit by the experience of
their Ohio brethren and make their fight up.
on the following propositions which are in
substance those held, defended and proved in
the Ohio campaign of 1875:
First, that gold is a commodity like wheat,
iron or cotton--a commodity that all men, the
world over, long for, and have longed for
since history began, and, which they are will
ing to accept in exchange for whatever they
are willing to part with,
Second, that the government stamp on
gold coin merely indicates officially the
quantity and quality Of the bit of gold
stamped for the sake Of convenience.
Third, that any man, anywhere, would, if
necessary, eheerfQlly accept in exchange for
his goods gold ia ingots or Jumps, if satisfied of
it's firmness aud weight; but nothing but
force would induce him to take paper, even
green paper, that had not on it promise to
pay gold which he believed would be kept,
The Portland daily press., 1878-06-21

Fourth, that gold is capital, intrinsically
wealth, as well as currency; but that paper is
not capital or wealth-it only represents it;
and if the representation prove false, the paper
is worthless.
Fifth that all the greenbacks in the United
States, if the promise to pay them in gold is
proclaimed to be false, will become worthless.
except to light fire or to furnish pulp for a
paper mill.
Sixth, that if the infationists establish the
principle of no promise on the greenback,
and no payment in specie, and a greenback
be merely bit of paper with the peculiar
quality of discharging debt, the greenback
will not long retain this attribute beyond the
time when existing debts are wiped out; no
one will take it who is nos obliged to, and
soon no one will offer it who respects him
self
Seventh, that where values are unsettled
by legislation or otherwise, capital refuses to
embark in any enterprise; it seeks only snug
and safe places, hides itself, goes abroad if
necessary, but cannot be obtained for paper;
consequently the indationists by their success
must defeat every object they pretend to
have, and exalt one, which they pretend to
detest-repudiation-a this would be of no
advantage.
The Portland daily press., 1878-06-21

THE Bangor Commercial puts the name of
Alonzo Garcelon at the head of its columns,
and directly goes on to give reasons why he
should not have been nominated and cannot
be elected. Speaking of the Convention it
says:
There was little in the character and action
of the Democratic State Convention holden in
Portland on Tuesday last, to awaken conf
dence and hope in the hearts of the Democracy
of Maine, much less to arouse that energy and
enthusiasm SO essential to an earnest and suc-
cessful campaign. Neither the platform nor
