Maine Republican Platform.

The platform adopted by the Republicans
of Maine has the right ring, aud will do for
a campaign document without addition or
subtraction. The Republicans of Maine re-
affirm the assertion of the Constitution that
I" the citizens in each state are entitled to
all the privileges and immunities of the citl-
zens of the several states, and declare 1t to
be the primary and sacred duty of the ma
tional government to protect and maintain
in the exercise of all their civil, political and
public rights every citizen of the United
States" This position is well taken, and
ought to be reafiirmed by the conventions OF
all the states If any doctrine in this coun-
try has been thoroughly settled it is that
enunciated in this paragraph. But not less
important is their position in relation to the
public obligations of the government. They
recognize the pledges made to those who
furnished the means for prosecuting the late
war and the circumstances under which
they were made, and assert the plain, bust
ness-like statement, whether these pledges
are in the form of bonds or greenback notes,
we insist that both forms of the debt of the
nation shall be paid with the same fairness
and integrity with which an honest man
seeks to pay his individual debts" 1t can
hardly be possible that, among honest peo-
pie, anything different from the principle
here insisted upon could be desired. They
congratulate the country on the near APP
proach to a system of stable currency, and
sound a note of warning against all attempts
to perpetuate a fluctuating medium Of ex-
change. In reference to the evident purpose
of the Democratic party to pay hundreds of
millions in the suspended war claims of dis
loyal men, already presented to Congress or
awaiting presentation, they urge the neces-
sty for sending Republicans to the lower
house of Congress and changing its control.
In these several points the Maine Republi-
cans have practically covered the ground
most necessary to be covered at present, and
tits highly important that other states should
act from similar motives

THE New York Tribune thus emphasizes
an important temperance argument "The
punishment of vice and intemperance does
not end with the vicious and Incorporate,
but the great human family is so constituted
that one member cannot sin without pulling
down others. Thus, in an appalling degree,
are parents answerable for the weakness and
vices of their children. A man drinks
moderately and steadily all his life, with no
apparent harm to himself, but his daughters
become nervous wrecks, his sons epileptics,
libertines, or incurable drunkards, the he
reditary tendency to crime having its pathol-
ogy and UNMARRIED laws, like scrofula, con.
sumption,o or any other purely physical disease
These are stale truths with medical men
but the majority of parents, even those Of
average intelligence and culture, are APP
parently either ignorant or wckedly regard
less of them. When our people are brought
to remove gin-shops and gin-sellers for the
same reason that they would stagnant ponds
or unclean sewers, there will be chance OF
Kidding our jails and almshouses of hall
their tenants. We have urged this point
until it has become hackneyed and tedious
but how can we be silent so long as fresh
murder or suicide every day exemplifes the
CHASTITY peril and its cause ?"

THE revenue question in South Carolina
have blown over without any collision. The
United States marshal made application on
Thursday to the sheriff of Greenville county
for the custody of the revenue officers who
were held for murder under orders of the
state court, and the sheriff turned over the
keys of the prison. The marshal went
through the formality of bringing them
down stairs, making out the necessary papers
and committing them to their former quar-
ters as United States prisoners, so that they
still remain in the same jail but in charge
now of the federal authorities. 1t is to be
hoped that the case will be at once carried
up from the circuit court to the United
States supreme court, and a final decision of
the long disputed question as to jurisdiction
be reached

Greenbacks and Resumption.

From General Woodford's admirable speech
at the Maine Republican convention we Gull
some thoughts eminently adapted to the
times. He said that when the Republican
party shall be false to honesty it will have
outlived its usefulness and will die. So long
as these questions touch the vital interests
of the laboring man, this party must be upon
the right side to-day; when a new question
comes the party which made the nation free
says that labor shall have its honest reward
by making dollar an honest dollar The

ITs FuTuRE.-However the greenback
issue may be seized upon here and there, to
accomplish some local purpose, the general
signs are that, as a national movement, it
will either swallow the democratic party or
be swallowed by it-that in some way the
two will be practically fused in the election
of 1880. OF course this combination will
get recruits from the unsound elements in
the Republican party; bat we believe the
great body of the Republicans will go for
honest money. The only question is whether
conservative democrats will cut loose from
their party when it goes over to Greenback-
ism and join the Republicans in the strug-
gle against imitation and reputation, OF
whether their attachment to their party will
sweep them into the general current. There
ought TO be no doubt Of the result in a
straight fight between the Greenbackers and
the advocates of honest money. The main
ground of encouragement lies in the COZ
fusion that prevails on every hand, and in
the fact that so many Republicans are co
quoting with the Greenbackers instead OF
fighting them. A political thunderstorm tc
clear the air and force men back upon then
honest convictions would be God-send just
now. 1t may come out of the confusion oil
the fall elections.

The growth of the greenback party shows
that it presents taking issue. The treat
ment and the remedy are undoubtedly mis-
TAKEN but the origin of the movement is very
sincere. 1t springs from the general prostra-
ton of industry, which was largely due to
the very thing which is now proposed as
remedy. Redundant paper, or paper
at discretion, was the cause of the fatal
collapse. The sole real remedy is a health.
full revival of industry, and a rigorous ad-
hesion to the principle of the Michigan
Republicans /" No prosperity can be real or
durable that is founded on a fictitious stand
ard; that the value of paper currency,
whether issued by the government Or banks,
is derived from its promise to pay and the
credit that promise is worth; that the full
benefits of such currency cannot not be real
lied unless it is convertible on demand into
gold and silver; that a circulation of paper
and coin, interchangeable at par and at the
will of the holder, has been proved by expe
rience to be the best known to commerce
that this country is too great to submit to q
subordinate place among commercial ma
tons, and its people too honest to be conten
with unredeemed and irredeemable prom
Uses; and in the name of all the producing
classes and every honest workingman we de
mand currency that is worth not only it
face value all over the Union, but will com
mand respect, recognition, and its full yalu
in every market of the world"

Tm subscriptions to the four per cent.

not, however, very gratifying state of af-
fairs for the country in the showing that
there is so little confidence felt by monied

that the surplus capital seeks permanent in
yestment at so low rates of interest.
