"The very man OF all others aohO has the
deepeSt interest IN a sound currency, and
,cho suffers most By mischierous legislation in
money matters, is the man aoho earns his dai-
ly bread By his daily toll. a deprecated cur
rency, sudden changes of prices, paper money
falling bet,ueen morning and noon, and fal.
ling still loaoer 5et,veen noon and night, these
things constitute the uery harvest time of spec
ulators, and Of the aohole race of those aobo are
at once idle and crafty. a disor-
dered currency is one Of the greatest political
euils. 1t undermines the virtues necessary for
the support Of the social system, and encour-
ages propensities destructive to its hnppiress.
1t aodrs against industry, frugakty and econ
omy, and 1t fosters the eou spirits of ertrar-
agance and speculation. Of all the contri-
uances for cheating the laboring classes Of
mankind, none has been more efectual than
that avhich deludes them with paper money.
This Is the most efectaal Of intentions to fer
tiEze the rich man s fields By the s,ueat Of the
poor mans broto. Ordinary tyranny, oppres.
sion, ercessiye tdrati0n, these bear lightly up
on the mass OF the community, compared eoith
fraudulent currencies and the rObberies COM
matted By deprecated paper. ."-Daniel

The Fifth District.

About this time of the year, whenever an
important election is coming on in Maine,
the political weather prophet begins to warn
us to look out for squalls in the fifth Con-
gressional District 1t has been prophecy
never fulfilled, but all the same we look for
it with each recurring campaign year. Ever
since Mr.. Hale has represented the District
his first election occurring in 1S6S-his de-
feat has been foretold with the highest conf
dence by men who have wanted him out of
the way, and just as often he has come out
of the contest in better condition and with a
more hearty endorsement by his people than
ever before. In 1868 it was said that he
would lose the District because he was a
new man. In 1872 we were told that he
could not survive the combination of Greeley
against him; and even SO late as 1876, when
common observation was all the other way,
the newspaper correspondents-including the
New York Tribune s-announced that the
9Th was the one most doubtful District in the
State. The majority in the District that
year on the Congressional ticket proved to be
Poll, bringing the District fully up to the
level of the old banner Districts, which had
formerly beaten the 5th two to one. 2911
would seem to be pretty fair margin upon
which to 60 into new fight, but the old cry
of the hard fight in the Fifth District is up
again, and the Bangor Commercial lays out
programme in which Mr.. Rust is to figure as
the head piece of the Greenbackers, and
Munroe Young of Ellsworth is to lead the
columns of the reform Democracy. The
Commercial says this will make the contest
the very hottest that will be waged in any
one of the 2s3 Congressional Districts,
and that MI. Hale will go under. Our
information is the other way. That the
Greenbackers, or Nationals, have quite a
large following to-day in Knox and Waldo
counties is no doubt the fact, but their ranks
are recruited in nearly even numbers from
both parties, and the Democratic local lead
ers who have gone into the movement are
fully as set in their determination to stick to
the new movement as are those Republicans
who have been drawn in. Indeed we are
told on good authority that where the new
organization shows signs of weakness
is in the fact that many honest and sensible
Republicans, who allowed themselves to be
captured by the specious watch words and
crafty miss.atements of the Greenback ora
tors and press, have already seen their mis-
take and are heading back to their old organ,
| ization.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1878-07-03

We do not hear of any opposition to Mr..
Hae's denomination, and we understand
that he proposes to conduct his campaign
almost entirely upon the currency and finan-
cial issues, in which we believe him to be
both shrewd and wise. We shall be disap-
pointed if this does not tell upon the Green
back clubs, which need the presentation Of
sound truths to Offset the absurdities and
misstatements with which they have been
filled for the last six months. Setting aside
the Republ cans who remain alienated by
the Greenback movement, on the day of elec-
tion Mr.. Hale will command the unbroken
vote of his party which has more reason-and
realizes ito stand by him to-day than ever
before. The ambitious. aspiring men who
desire to represent the district. hereafter are
allpressing Mr.. Hale's denomination and will
earnestly support him in the canvass. Be-
sides these things it is difficult to see where
the honest, sound money Democrats can 60
except to Mr.. Hale. Mr.. Murch, who was
nominated yesterday at Belfast, is rabid
greenbacker of the most advanced school with
strong tendencies toward communism and
kindred doctrines, so they cannot touch
him; the Hancock county Democracy last
year, under Munroe Young's lead, adopt
ed platform so wild and insane upon
the currency question that nobody then or
since has ventured to urge its adoption out
side of that county where it was buried under
majority heavier than had been cast for
ten years; and Mr.. Young's sentiments have
spectacle will then be presented of the Green
back and Democratic candidates struggling
to secure the votes of the Greenbackers,
while there will be but one ticket that will
old parties. That this view is taken is appar-
ent from the position of leading Democrats
and newspapers in the District who
join with Mr.. Hale in denouncing the ''abso-
lutte money" the. "irredeemable currency"
heresy early and late. His position on this
question, we are glad to say, is uncomprom-
ising. He will stand or fall with sound, hon.
est money, with the greenback at its present
issue, made and kept redeemable in coin.
If, out of these conditions in his District,
Mr.. Hale does not come with an increased
majority, the PRESS is bad political guesser.
His good fortune has not failed him thus
far, and his constituents know that he comes
to them this year with the record of faith
full and valuable service to them and large
ly added national reputation. His abilities
as a leader have been tested many times
during the last Congress, and have been equal
to the most trying emergencies. We have
confidence in the Republicans of the Fifth
District; they will see to it that the party
shall not lose one of its ablest leaders and
one of its most skilful debaters in Congress.
We predict Mr.. Hale's election by majority
larger than ever before.

As n very important source of strength
md security, cherish public credit. One
method of preserving is is TO nse it as
sparinsly as possible; avoiding occasions
of expense by cultivating peace, but rec
membering also that timely disbursements
TO prepare for danger frequently prevent
much greater achievements to repe! il !:
avoiding likewise the accumulation of
debt, NOT only by stunning occasions of
expense, but by vigorous exertions in time
of peace to discharge the debts which un-
avoidable wars may have occasioned, not
ungenerousiy throwing upon posterity the
burden which we ourselves ought 10 bear.

PROFESSOR Richard Herschel, the Vien-

schrift declares war on the American ham.
He says that while among some 1900 or
$500 Westphalian hams one is infected, of
the American hams inspected in North Ger
many, according to an official report, one in
from five to ten is condemned, and there is
great probability that several epidemics have
been caused by trichniasis from American
hams. As this disease Is comparatively rare
in this country, and particularly in the South
and West, where there is the largest
consumption of hams, DR.. Herschel must be
be mistaken in his data.
