Chases (maine) Chronicle has these
strong remarks touching the dem
ocrats of Maine. They apply every
word, with equal force, to the leaders
of the democratic party in the second
district of Minnesota:
1t is being admitted by Democrats
everywhere that Pilsbury and few
others have sold out the Democracy
every year for some time past to
Blaine, else how could the Democrats
stand by SO long and see the Republi-
cans take possession of all the spOils
without an effort. Have they ever
organized any considerable defence
or have their papers ever worked ener-
getically against the Republicans In
September the Democracy automati-
cally goes to the polls, not organized
for victory but only to. keep it's men,
bers from joining the Greenbackers
and whipping out Blaine. The De-
mocracy is the weakest party in the
state, the principles of its members
are mainly greenback; let them help
the Greenbackers whip out Republi-
can rings. But no, they are kept
down by the party lash and made to
voto for some figure head only to let
the Republican Congressman be elect
ed on a plurality vote. The Democ-
racy instead of making formidable
opposition is kept from making any
1t is only kept in existence to protect
the Republican flank. and if single
Republican is elected to Congress
this fall the Democrats have only
themselves to thank, for they will do
it by letting the state go through de-
fault, when they have nothing to gain
by the action. and their party is grad
ually crumbling to atoms. and its
party leaders are dividing political
spoils or feeding from the crum bs
which fall from the table of Republi-
can Ring thieves.
Really; one would think that the
mnn who wrote that had just returned
from the Shakopee convention.

As Dun. Barlow & Co ; reno,

As Dun. Barlow & Co reports are
all summed up by their reviewer from
the hard money standpoint. it is not
surprising that from the belining of
the panic to the present time they
have assigned false reasons for the
alarming condition of trade. and have
advanced encouraging views of the
future which have never been fulfilled.
We cannot call 10 mind one report
since 1873 that has discussed the
business situation in Il philosophical
light. They have all along secuted
the idea that the bullion policy had "a
depressing influence. but on the con-
trarv have predicted that STEADY
steps towards specie payments would
soon lead us out of the wilderness.
Well. we have marched forward
with steady steps towards specie
payments" and universal bankruptcy.
1t must be IN mockery that the re-
port before us remarks that ..any
suhstant' al progress toward business
prosperity could have made in the
face of adverse circumstances of the
past SIX months. would be Il matter of
surprise. es. quite matter of
surprise in the face of the adverse
circumstances which were foreseen
and predicted by the advocates of
financial reform, but not by Dun.
Barlow i Cos commercial and finan.
cial prophet ! The report of this
agency for the year 1877 contained a
roseatte prophecy for the future
year. LAYING great stress on the
''bountiful crops" We have had a
most bountiful crop of business dis.
asters. just as we ventured to predict
when reviewing that report. The
one b fore us is equally sanguine of
the future. and equally superficial in
its treatment of the causes which
have kept the industries of the
country stagnant. and which are to
bring about condition of prosperity.
Iii time for the business men of

of men whose predictions ! ave in no
instance failed. and who have en-
couraged no false hopes. Let them

New York city had three contesting delegations,
that Geo. Blair, Cornelius O'Reilly and w.
Shoupe, should each be entitled to twenty-one
votes in the convention. After q scene of great
confusion, the report of the committee on

pose the committee on permanent organization.
The motion was adopted, and the convention
took recess in order that the delegates might
select such committee.

and rest their faith in the wise
craftsmanship of the leaders Of the
Greenback movement. Business
prosperity will never dawn upon this
country, until the financial policy of
the Government is reversed. We
must cease legslating for Syndicates
of bankers and note shavers and do
something for productive labor. The
policy of contraction has long and
disastrous trial; let us now try the
policy set forth by the currency re-
formers. which will bring money into
circulation, enhances values, employ
labor. developour resources, and start
up an era of general prosperity.

enjoy its sovereign right to the
emoluments arising from the issuance
of al that circulates as money. in
stead of bestowing a portion of this
right to National Bank Corporations.
And whereas, a candidate for

LIGHT FROM THE BENIGHTED
SHADOWS OF SCOOT
COUNTY.
LYDIA, Scott county Mimi. }
Nav q. 1878 {

May q. 1878
Here is something for the Nation
ais to think of along with the rest of
these good works, viz: direct taxation
for all government bonds and the abo.
lition of all internal revenue taxes.
Take for instance the revenue on to-
bacco, all other things being included
that are subject to special tax, and see
what we can do with it.
Dealers in leaf tobacco $500.
Manufacturers of tobacco $1,000
Revenue on manufactured to-
baccoper lb. 16
The manufacturer does not pay one
solitary cent Of the above, fares; soon
as they have sold the tobacco they
get all their money back again from
the purchasers, and the tobacco that
sells to-day at 80 to IS cts. per ID.
ought to sell for 20 to 25 cts. per
pound!
Who are paying this two hundred
per cent above the actual value of
what they get. 1t is the consumers
of course that pay all. And large
portion of the consumers are the men
who stood before death in the ranks.
who have endured every imaginable
hardship to have the goverement
which has used every means to crush
them ever since the glaze of the war.
They are the men who left their
poor homes and their i'll clothed and
poor fed families to face death on the
battle field.
What is being done with all this
revenue the government officers and
contractors are growing fat on it; for
instance, the double salaries and all
the other well planned stealings, be-
sides all the money the lobbyists pock-
ct for the making of the laws for the
special benefits Of individuals or
some incorporated company, and
which is at the same time a curse to
the people.
This is part of what the voters get
for sending SO called representatives
to Washington and to their own state
capitals. That this so called govern
ment has used every string and pulled
every wire to crush the poor and to
build up the rich. Any man that has
eyes and brains cannot help but know
it,
Look at the arrangement! The
government never received one dollar
in gold for them. and to-day the gov
ernment is no more responsible to
the holders for the force of them
than they are to any one for the gov.
ernment money and fractional cur
rency it issued nor would this latter
have deprecated any more than it did
If there had never been a bond issued;
and to-day we would not be paying
eighteen million dollars in trust, in
gold, to the bankers of the United
States to help them to grind u 1-2 to
Is per cent out of the tax payers of
the United States,
Give us honest money, honest gov
ernment, and direct tax on all prop
erty, bonds and money Then make
every man pay his share accordingly.
Then We will have honest prices,
honest goods. honest pay for labor.

for the FORESTS crowded house upon
this occasion Their generous acts in
giving beneficial performances in the past
sntitie them to it, and we feel satisfied
that the people will not withhold the
substantial evidence of their apprecia-
ton thereof. These gentlemen have al
ready extended two benefits to the Cath

and one to Pioneer Fire Co., of st. Fran
eisville. The approaching performance
will be for the benefit of a fund towards
paying for scenery already provided, at
heavy expense, and more which they
contemplate obtaining for future exhibi-
tions. The object is a worthy one. Give
