PHILLIPS AND BLAINE.
An Edifying Correspondence.
The InfercOnvertibIe Bond and
the Future of Parties.

The Kennebec Journal of this morning pub
FISHES the following correspondence:
Boston, 18th Sept, 1878.
HON. JAMES G. BLAINE:
My Dear Sir Please to remember our talk in the
Senate Ch amber, last winter, when urged that the
Republican party should meet the wishes OF the
people, the necessities of business and the eonvic-
tions of a large portion of the thoughtful men Of
the nation.
If your party had offered a plan for the Govern
nents issuing of all the paper note currency "a doc
trine to which the best European thought s hasten
ing ii it has not already reached it, the same to be
legal tender everywhere and for every purpose aud
interconvertible with bonds for a long term and at
low rate Of interest," the principal and interest OF
which should be payable in coin, that would lave
saved us from the Bourbon South in 1880.
What 1 hear from Republican business men con-
vlnces me that II they could have been eouutenaneed
in such platform by trusted leaders, such leaders
would have carried the country. do not say that
such financial plan waud have wholly satisfied me
but ir would have held the country.
1t is sad to see party which has led the world
in advanced yet conservative opinion quit Its place
and fall behind the best financial thought Of Europe
cnging to obsolete if not exploded theories, losing
the helm in defence of ideas that ten years hence
men will smile at. One great concern with me is
that thus they insure Southern Bourbon rule for the
next dozen years.
Wealth here is almost omnpotent and Its organ-
zation is very perfect but you'll see that once awake
the masses will smash rings, Journals and parties,
and that neither wealth nor the seaboard rules this
people. Yours truly,
WENDELL PHILLIPS.

THE Pennsylvania Democrats are said to
be sulrendering to the Nationals more COM
pletely day by day. Having started out to
catch the Nationals they have themselves
been caught, and are being rapidly absorbed.
This indicates the real purpose and only pos
sible effect of the National movement, and
should admonish every straying Republican
and drive him back into the ranks OF his own
party for the hardest kind of fight.

REPUBLICAN information from Ohio is
that this year the National movement is

The last Democratic Legislature, under the
inspiration of Speaker Randall, re districted

Congressman but four. The trick is likely to
react, and there are indications that the Re-

ONE Of the happiest effects of the refund
ing of the National debt, at lower rate of
interest, is that the bonds are becoming wide
ly distributed among the masses of the peo-
pie. In 1872, in each $1O,OOO,OOO of bonds
issued, there were only 1880 bonds in $5Os
and $100s. In 1865, the number was 1880.
In 1878, the number is 24,93O, or more than
three times the former ratio. 1t is estimated
that in a short time, over 100000 of per-
sons or families will be owners of the United
States bonds. The small depositors of the
former have become owners of governments"
OF the smaller denominations. Official figures
also show that the average holding of shares
in the national banks is very small-in many
cases being less than twenty shares, and run
ming down to five and less. In some of them,
one-third to one halt the stockholders are
women, dependent for subsistence upon the
earnings.

The Massachusetts, Democrats seem to
have missed their opportunity. Their avowed
object is to defeat Butler, and to accomplish
this most desirable end they should gladly
join forces with his other foes. But they
manifest no spirit of conciliation, and the
result of their action is, unfortunately, to
divide and consequently weaken the anti.
Butler strength. There is however good rea-
son to believe that the sincere hard.money
Democrats of Massachusetts will be found
voting by thousands for Talbot.

silver goes out. If one or the other
