c- The HuRterd0n Democrat attempts to
ward off the effect of our comments ON its as
sertion that " the Democratic party is the
scourge of demagogues and political trick
sters by the cry of tyou're another" And
to prove this it quotes the Credit Mobilier af-
fair but it fails to remember that whatever
disgrace is attached to- that transaction is
borne pretty evenly by Democrat and Repub-
lican alike. AS to the whiskey ring frauds, !"
it is not true as charged, that Bristow chad
to fight his battle alone, so tar as the Repub-
lican party was concerned" On the con-
trary, the Democrat cannot point to Repub-
lican paper that did not sustain Secretary
Bristow in his efforts. AS to the whiskey
ring thieves, we remember that the most dis
tingushed one was the editor of a leading
Democratic paper in st. Louis.
But the richest thing in the Democrats ar
ticle is the following
q In marked contrast we recall The career of
Tweed. Democratic newspapers exposed the
Tweed Ring. Democratic lawyers pursued
him to the bitter end. Democratic public O.
pinion, in Democratic New York, upheld the
hand that struck such rascality a fatal blow"
Now, an intelligent editor ought to know
better He does know better. He knows
that the "Tweed Ring :" was exposed solely
by the New York T5mes,an out and-out Repub
lican paper and that the New York World, the
leading Democratic paper of the country, de-
Tended the Tweed ring against the attacks of
the Times until it became unpopular for it to
do so. And I" Democratic public opinion in
New York " electt Tweed to the State Sen
ate after his rasealities had been thus publicly
exposed. As to democratic lawyers pursu-
ing him Tweed to the bitter end Ut is
true that some Democratic lawyers joined in
the legal pursuit of Tweed, after it lad be-
come a popular thing so to do, and great deal
of capital was attempted to be made for the
great "usufruct Tilden during the late Pres
idential campaign, by falsely claiming for him
the credit of bringing down this great Demo-
cratic thief and rascal but the facts do not
warrant the claim.

Mr.. Keeley's laurels were so badly damaged
by scientific investigations of his motor that
temporarily he has disappeared from public
view, the promoters refusing to put up any
more shekels. But another individual steps
in, with precisely the same discovery, as far
as we can Judge, and company is organized
with SIC, 100000 capital, and 1926, 600 paid
in. AT least this is the story The new man
Mr.. Winters, also discovered the new power
by accident, and while he acknowledges that
the gas generated is the same as Keeley's he
can control it, which the other man could not.
He says he does not know what it is, but it
can be utilized as readily as steam, yet it is
not steam it does not condense and is not
moist. lie thinks it is some kind of gas, as
when ignited it gives a brilliant light, yet it
will not burn ones finger if placed in the
flame. Are we on the eve of great revolu-
ton i'll motive power or is there new fraud
to expose ? If Mr.. Winters is reliable, then
Mr.. Kelley is deserving of credit The works
are to be located in Jersey City.

A Cape May dispatch says A thrilling in
cident was witnessed on the beach this after
noon. young man named McGarry was in
the surf, bathing, when he was suddenly car
ried out beyond his depth. The surf boat
was not out at the time, and some minutes
passed before the crew could be got together.
Finally, however, they manned the boat and
struck out for the rescue. The tide was so
strong that the young man ioated down to
Sea Grove before the boat overlook him, hav-
ing been in the water over two hours. AT the
time there were thousands of people on the
man in the water and The efforts of the boat
to reach him. When he was finally drawn in
to the boat alive a shout of relief went up
from those who had witnessed the exciting
spectacle from the shore.

were received from passenger trains in a few

New York was unable to hold all the passeng-

A real Sunday stiffness rests over the tents
and cottages. Even the string bands in the
hotels are quiet. And yet there are nearly
5000 persons within the boundaries of Wes-

ocean. Last week Capt. Rainear of tae Ocean
Grove Engineer Corps reported that the five
hundred tents owned by the Camp Meeting
Association were pitched and occupied, yet
applications for more tents were continued
Supt. Beegle took the next train to New York

tents were not occupied until Aug. &c.

The fool killer has got big job to do yet
in the South before everything is as lovely as
it should be between brothers. The follow
ing quotations from some of the newspapers
of that region will convince any ono of the
truth of what we say. The Macon Telegraph
and Messenger is very gentle but listen to its
nonsense +:
(" We can not but indulge the hope that
when we have helped to extingrish the pub.
lie debt, and time has healed the gaping
wounds of the past, when reason and BROTH
erly love shall have fully regained the ascend
ancy over prejudice and hate, even though it
shall be the next generation, brave and hon.
orable people of the same blood and lineage
will see to it that the value of our property
in slaves shall be returned to those from whom
it was wrongfully wrested. II will do no
harm to keep this question before the people,
that they may preserve the records and prop
er memoranda of their former slaves, in the
event that a returning sense of justice ON the
part of the Federal government may compen-
safe them, at least in part, for the loss of this
portion of their rightful property
The CoriDthion, of Corinth, Mississippi,
unfolds its foolishness in the old, fire-eating
style, as follows
Let the solid South meet the united North
with bold, undaunted courage, for we are
Just as confident as we are that we edit this
tempted again in the future, just as sure as it
was in 1861, when the tocsin of war sounded
at Fort Sumter. The North is too aggressive,
too jealous, too vndictive, too suspicious
the South too lofty, too naughty, too amb-
tious, too proud. A union of States is and al
ways will be CALLING"
But the editor of the Okolona (Ntiss.) States
is the champion fool, all will admit. Hear
him.
"When we have obtained the upper hand,
we propose to undo what has been done by
the radicals since 1861. We propose to tear
the negro amendments out of the Constitu-
ton. We propose to restore the Planter Re-
public of our fathers in all its purity and SIM
plicity."
1t is the unsuffcrable chattering of such
newspapers as these that postpones the oblit-
Grafton of sectional hatreds. Even those who
are eager to "forgive and forget" have their
patriotic blood stirred up by such exhibitions
from men who owe their lives to the magnan-
unity of tho very government they sought to
destroy, and are now determined to annoy,
and embroil in sectional strifes. Piaintield

The prevalent trouble is not, as the infla-
tionists suppose, the deficiency of currency to
meet the wants of trade, but the deficiency
of trade, to meet the excessive volume of
currency. The merchants want custom
ers the capitalists want employment for
their money the operatives want paying
work the railroads want business. The
inactivity of trade prevents the free cir
culation of money. When trade is pros
porous, the people can manage with al
most any condition of currency. When bust
ness is unusually dull, the soundest currency
cannot render things active. All the finan-
ciers in Europe could not reverse that.

These are only few of the figures, but
they are enough. The paper circulation of
the United States was nearly three times as
much per head in 1ST3-when the panic came
on-as it was in 1851 and 1861, when the
country abounded in wealth and prosperity.
So as to Great Britain and Ireland. The
deputy master of the mint estimates the total
paper money in circulation in the United
Kingdom, December 81, 1875, at GAG, 29S, 900,
or 1891, 490, 900, or less than $40 head.
Money wouldn't be money at all If there
were as much gold and silver as iron. 1t is
because it is scarce that gold is used for mon
ey. 1t is because gold and silver are real
money that paper money is aud ought to be
redeemed in them. Money measures values
us bushel measures quantities. Does man
need hundred bushel. measures because he
has hundred bushels of corn?

TOT lHE RECORD.
Mn. EDITOR VIII you please publish the
following editorials, taken from the Richmond
Dispatch, one of the leading newspapers of
the South They are in regard to the Green
back delusion that is now agitating the coun-
try would respectfully invite my Green
back friends to read carefully and ponder we'll
the facts they contain, honestly
THE Characterization Mecklenburg
correspondent encourages us to hope that
what is called the greenbaek lunacy has as
yet obtained but little f0othold among the in
telligent people of that county. The delusion
is so captivating, and its advocates have so
many cap-trap phrases and arguments calcu-
lated to inislead the masses, that we are not
surprised to read in SO shrewd paper as the
New York Times the statement that no man
with his eyes open can doubt that the issue on
which the greenback organization rests is to-
day the Aarons rod of American politics, nor
it's other statement that so far as the Northern
States are concerned the managers of both
the old parties begin to understand that the
financial question will be the controlling ques-
ton in the Fall campaign. We suppose there
is less danger to be feared from such delus-
ions in the South than in the North. The
Confederate green6dcks are too fresh IN the
minds of the people who used to pay ten
dollars a pound for sugar, and fce hundred
dollars barrel for -four, and who were glad
to get wheat coffee, corn bread, and "live "
bacon so long as that kind of money prevail
ed in their section of country.
How Much PAPER MONEY I've are not
afraid of any quantity of good money that
can be obtained from the mines or elsewhere.
Let us have it in abundance. But these cur
rency-tinkers all demand large increase of
paper money, and say that we have it only
fourteen dollars per capita. True enough
But that is more than twice as much as we
had in the days of our greatest prosperity
Here are the figures. They are official
