We understand that Colonel Richard W
Thompson has completed his meridian obser-
walton and has determined the bearings of the
Radical ship Of State since the abatement Of
the late nor'easier. He finds that she has been
driven about 500, 900 solid votes to leeward
out of her course and is drifting with the
ground-swell upon the dangerous submerged
shoals of John Sherman s financial policy, al
ready encrusted with wrecks. He therefore
proposes to rig a jury foremost and jib-boom
made of splnters from the Pope's Toe-nail,
upon which 10 bend the remnants of the

The action of the Republican convention
does not prove TO be a pouring of oil upon
troubled waters, but the nomination of Mr..
Urner was the best that they could do. The
Washington county Republicans are much
dissatisfied with the nominee, and there are
good Republicans down here, who have been
entirely ignored in the councils of the party
men who are favorable TO Thomas and oppos-
ed to the Weverton ''kick" After casting
about for so long time it is sorry compen-
sation that they should in their dire necessity
be compelled to nominate about the weakest
man in their ranks; but we repeat that it was
the best they could do, for neither Lowndes
nor McComas would have 1t, whilst the empti-
ness of the honor was still further shown by
Darby's determined refusal, notwithstanding
the mportunings and appeals of his party TO
drag it out of the mire. The following is a brief
biographical sketch Of the Republican nomi-
nee:
Milton g. Urner, ia about 40 years of age
| He was born in Liberty district, Frederick
county, this State, where he followed farming,
working for his father until about % years of
age. His farm-life was varied by school-teach-
| ing, and by term at Pennsy lvania college,
where he graduated. At the age of %, or in
1861, he removed to Frederick City, where he
read law under the late Grayson Eichelberger,
| who was at that day Of troublesome and ex-
citing times one OF the boldest Republicans of
| Frederick county. In 1868 Mr.. Urner was
admitted TO the bar in Frederick, and has fol-
| lowed his profession ever since. In 1867 he
ran for States Attorney, and was beaten by
Hon. John Richie. In 1871 he ran again for
| the same office, and was elected, serving
term of four years. In 1875 he declined re-
nomination for the same Office, preferring to
exclusively devote himself to his private prac-
tice, which is quite large and lucrative. Mr..
Urner is man Of family, and resides in Frede-
rick Citv

The Basis of Greenbacks.

The fact is a greenback currency
can have but one basis, and that
must be the faith Of the Government
Such currency must be as we con-
ceive it, under the control of Con-
gress, and its volume would be at all
times controlled by that body. 1t
should be the only paper currency in
the country, and it should be legal
tender to every body. The President
should be compelled to receive it on
his salary, the bondholder on his
bond, the merchant for his goods
and the custom house for its dues
Such a circulation would represent
the industry and the wealth of the
land, and it should last at least as
long as the National debt lasts, and
as much longer as may otherwise be
necessary for the people, The coin
age of silver and gold should be free
aud unlimited. If in the providence
of God and the administration of the
Democracy, there should come time
when we should have too much mon
ey, it will be thea time enough to
talk about reducing the amount =
What we want now is money. It's
advent will be slow enough any way
1t must come through Congress wher
it does come. Therefore We propose
to clean out Congress, so it can slide
through. Let its basis be the faitf
of the Government. AS long as the
Government has the confidence o
the people it will be based on tina
which is brighter than gold and bet
ter than silver.

Value of the Trade Dollar.

The people are still in doubt respect
ing the real value Of the trade dollar.
The circular from the Treasury De-
partment ought to set the matter at
rest. The "Trade Dollar" is not a
legal tender, and it has only bullion
value of IS 9.10 cents, or II 1\lO
cents below the par value of gold
and of the legal tender silver dollar.
This is what the Government allows
for them, and the expense of their
transportation to the mint must be
borne by the parties forwarding them.
We cannot find anywhere quotations
that give higher rate than the Gov
ernment allows for these dollars, and
the public should be on their guard
against taking them except at the
Treasury valuation
The bullion value of the Mexican
dollar in terms of English pence is
51J. and this is United States legal
tender coin is SS,7 cents.

The Founding of tho Bank of
Engiand-Paper Money.
From the Richmond SUI

One of the most important events in
the system of modern finance occur
red one hundred and eighty-four years
ago: The foundation of the Bank of
England. England, WILLIAM and
MARY on the throne, was at war and
in financial distess. Says -MACCAUL-
Ely, "The Bank of st. George had
nearly completed its third century. 1t
had begun to receive deposits and to
make loans before Columbus had cross
ed the Atlantic. before CANA had
turned the Cape, when q Christian
Emperor was reigning at CONSTANT
nOple, when a MOhommedan Sultan
was reigning at Grenada, when Flor
ence was republic, when Holland
obeyed an hereditary Prince. All these
things had been changed. New con-
tinentR and new oceans had been dis
covered. The Turk was at CONSTANT
nople; the Castilian was at Grenada;
Florence had its hereditary Prince;
Holland was a republic; but the bank
of st. George was still receiving de-
posits and making loans Why should
not the banks of London be as great
and durable as the banks of Genoa
and Amsterdam?'
This was the thought that perhaps
ran through the minds of some Eng
lishmen, but the Bank of England,
like our greenbacks, was a war meas
ure, q device to relieve immediate ne
| cessities. 1t was along step towards
paper money. 1t was an innovation.
Macauley says: "All the goldsmiths
and pawnbrokers set up a howl of
rage (just as they are doing now;
some discontented Tories predicted
ruin to the Monarchy" "Some
discontented Wings, on the other
hand predicted ruin to our liberties "
But the Bank of England, their war
measure, essentially credit bank, al
lied to Unidentified with the Govern
ment of England, has survived the
| panics, the wars, the revolutions of
almost two centuries; but the creditor
class, the bankers, the brokers, howl
ed paper money!" when the propo-
sition to establish 1t was pending zeal
ously, and vehemently, and contempt
uously as men in Virginia howl the
rag baby" to-day. We have said this
was one long step toward paper gov
ernment credit currency, and it WAS.
What is its weakness, its defect? 1t is
not lack Of confidence 1t is not the
credit, half or two-thirds of it for ey-
Bristol news. [volume] (Bristol, Va. & Tenn.) 1867-189?, 1878-10-01

known that he has everywhere and
in every way expressed himself
emphatically as Greenbacker, in
favor of large increase of the
currency-sufsciently large to sup
plv the wants and necessities o
the people. He is genuine Green
backer, in favor of more green
backs and in favor OF making them
a legal tender to all, both bond
holder and people alike.
We state emphatically that if
Col. Richmond we're in favor Of
only such a greenback currency as
should be represented by an equal
amount of coin boarded up, we
will not support him for Congress
at all. And we mean to know.
