The Anti-Monopolist

which promises no more, however,
than the successive registering of
votes on dial. No check is provided
against repeating and other more
elusive frauds upon the ballot-box.
Although machine is to he provided
for each candidate, no means appear
to be provided for enabling the indie
pendent voter to cut the regular
ticket according to the dictates of
sometimes hayward fancy. The point
is made that the continuance will
lessen the service required at election
precincts. but this is hardly clear. as
the same clerical force will be needed
in caring for the registry books, and
the number needed to look after the
machine would be equal to. if not
greater, than those now employed in
receiving and depositing the ballots.
The correspondent appears to unwit-
tingly acknowledge the defects of his
creation by the statement that it
"can be closely watched by detectives
outside as well as by officers within,
so that mutual protection is at once
established

COLORADO CREENBACKERS.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 15.-The Green
back State convention, which adj
journed after midnight, adopted g
platform arraigning the Democrats
for advocacy and support Of African
slavery, teaching the wild and cruel
fantasy that man could hold property
in man, and the Republican party for
legislation in the interest of the
money power; demands the issue by
the government of absolute paper
money as full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, III sufficient
volume for the entire needs of trade
and in payment of the whole of the
interest bearing debt, and paid direct
ly to the people without the interven-
ton of banks or agent ,the immediate
repeal of the resumption act and all
laws authorizing national banks; an
enactment by Congress prohibiting
any further issue of bonds, and con-
stitutional amendment making such
issue impossible; and an income tax
on all incomes above $1,000. The
nominations were: R.C. Buckingham,
governor; 5. A. Simmons, lieutenant
governor; j +. Washburn, secretary;
W. ID. Arnett, treasurer; G.. W. Din
gee, auditor; Alphonus Wright, attor-
ney general; a. J. Chittenden, super
intendent of public instruction; IL. c.
Childs, Congress. Delegates were
present from fourteen counties. MIR.
Chittenden, one of the nominees and
leading member of the convention,
in the course of Il speech accepting
the nomination for superintendent of
instruction, said: Il ain not ashamed
of the platform adopted to-day. | am
not ashamed of the hint at repudia-
ton. If l were to die to-day ! would
cast my vote for repudi3tion. If l
were on my way TO heaven l would
drop ballot for reputation. III /
could have any influence with the
angels, such a shower of ballots in
favor of Reputation rs would fall
would astonish the world. l would
free the people in that way.

OYER PRODUCTION.

1t is claimed that the great trouble
to the industries of the nation is over
production. That is to say, by the
aid of machinery that we produce so
much that it cannot be consumed. 1t
does not seem ever to have occurred
to anybody that all these good gifts
OF God to men of invention of machin-
cry for production ought to insure in
some degree to the benefit of the la
borer. If fifty years ago it required
fourteen hours day for the laboring
man without the aid of machinery,
largely, to produce what was neces-
sary to be consumed, and now by the
aid of machinery in all the depart
ments and branches of industry four
teen times as much can be produced,
and yet men have to labor ten hours
a day that these gifts of God have
not been for the benefit of the work.
ingmen, and that if over production
is the trouble with the industrial
question, that could be easily reme-
died by shortening the hours of labor.

sI'HE FARMER IN POLITICS.

When the time approaches for the
nomination and election OF men to Oc-
cnpy the various offices within the
gifts OF the people, few and only a
few Of our farmers pull off their coats
and go into the work of selecting men
for those positions with all their
might. A few and only few seem
to realize that in working to get good
men into office they are performing a
duty they owe to themselves and to
their country; and these are reasons,
why, in many instances, the result IN
this western country, where the peO-
pie to be represented are for the most
part engaged in agricultural pursuits,
is unsatisfactory. The people are not
represented. The men in Office feel
that they are under obligations to
those through whose influence they
were elected, and this influence came
from professional politicians, shysterS
and bummers. The necessities and
desires of the masses-the very life
and support of the country itself-are
ignored. This is the result OF lack
of interest. The powers that be are
recognized and continue to gather IL
legitimate spOils, While the powers
that should be but are not left to get
along as best they can. And this
wholesale putting into office of men
who look out first for self and political
friends will continue just SO long as
the people look on from afar off, but
lift not hand or voice to assert their
rights and to protect their interests.
Some of our officers are good men.yes,
and they do good work, but it is a fact
that too many of them are merchan-
disc.
Our farmers should study these
matters; they should come out and
vote, every one of them. Suppose it
is raining on election day land you are
obliged TO travel five, eight or more
miles to get to the polls, these incon-
venience may be small as compared
with those that you may be compelled
to encounter by having men in office
who will give no thought to you or
your interests when they are making
laws or doing service in an official
capacity.-Ihe Spirit Of Kansas, Law-
renee.

THOUGHT 1T WAS 4 SKUNK.

\ Detroit girl picked up new beau
the other evening at church, and
when they reached her fathers gate
he accepted an invitation to 60 in.
He was perfumed to kill, and it
wasn't long before the musk reached
the back room in which the old folks
sat. The old man was heard stubbing
around, muttering and growing, ana
presently he opened the door and
passed out and walked around the
house. He came back after snuffling
for a few minutes and pounding on
the parlor door he inquired:
'Evangeline. where's the piece Of
candle!:
Il don't know, father; why!" she
inquired in return.
There's skunk or something
under the addition, and I've got to
hunt him out. or we can't live here
over night.
The young man didn't stay long
after that.

AN ELECTION BELL PUNCH.

A correspondent sends to the Phila-
delphia Times froa North Carolina a
sketch and description of machine
devised for registering votes at cleo
tions, the purpose beirg to prevent
ballot-box stuffiing and insure an ap
proximately fair election. Without
entering into a description of the de-
vice, it is enough to state that it is a
sort of electoral bell-punch. to be
applied by the individual voters.

A Straight Creenback Platform Adopted
The Democrats OF Tennessee took
thirteen ballots for candidate for
Governor yesterday, the second day
of their convention at Nashville with
out making choice, and then all
journed till to-day.
They say in their platform: In the
name of the Democracy we denounce
an Understanding public debt as a
public curse. We denOunce mOnOpO-
lies as hateful and destructive to pub.

put away from am ong the people.

bonds Of the government shall be paid
in coin, and the payment in treasury
notes of so much of said bonds as may
be found due after deducting the diff

thereon according to the contract; the
unconditional repeal Of the resump-
ton act; that the odiouS national
banking act be repealed and green
backs be substituted for the circula-
ton of the national banks; that treas
nry notes be made receivable for all
government dues; that no more inter

loans required by the government be

bearing treasury notes; that the coin

the people of the several States the
right to determine for themselves

may be put out of the politics of the
State we declare that we are for the
submission to the people for their
ratification or rejection at the ballot
box at a separate election of any adj
justment of the State debt which may
be made by the Legislature, and until
such adjustment shall have been
made and ratified by the people we
declare that we are opposed to the
levy of any greater tax upon the peo-
pie than may be necessary for the

constitutional provision prohibiting
the State forever of borrowing money
and issuing bonds except such as may

deavors of the Republicans in that

THE GAZETTE FOR 1879.

THE BALTIstoRE GAZETTE is a daily news
paper which appeals to the public solely on
its merits as journal of the LAY. 1t is
compendium of news at home and abroad,
each event being written, prepared and edit
ed according to its relative importance. \ OF
a line appears in THE GAZETTE which is not
useful or instructive. 1t essays to give the
news in nutshell and at IL price in keeping
with the economical demands of the times.
THE GAZETTE has opinions and IL expresses
them daily in terse and pointed English. 1t
! Is thoroughly Democratic in Its teachings
and tendencies, but independent of all cor
| rupt rings, cliqueS or lactiOus Oligarchies.
The GAZETTE believes that the principles OF
| the Democratic party should prevail. To that
end il will labor to place the Democrat par
! ty in power and thereby bring about much
needed change in the administration of the
| Government In Municipal, state, and Ma
| tional politictS THE GAZETTE will lend its
aid to the representatives ofDemOcratic prin-
| eiples. A great struggle for political mastery
! is coming on. In 1850 another battle for the

! such a newspaper as THE GAZETTE in educa-
ting, organizing and preparing the people for
| this contest cannot be cVer-eStimated. The
