"The very man OF all others aoho has the
deepest interest in sound currency, and
ioh0 suffers most By mischieuous legislation in
money matters, is the man avho earns his dai-
ly bread By his daily toll. a deprecated cur
rency, sudden changes of prices, paper money
falling bet,ceen morning and noon, and fdl-
ling still lower betlueen noon and night, these
things constitute the uery harvest time of spec
ulators, and Of the avhole race Of those aoho are
at once idle and crafty. a disor-
dered currency is one of the greatest political
euils. 1t undermines the uirtues necessary for
the support Of the social system, and encOur-
ages propensities destructive to its hnppikess.
1t ocdrs against industry, frugality and econ
0my, and it fosters the eril spirits Of e1trar-
agance and speculation. Of all the contri-
uances for cheating the laboring classes Of
mankind, none has been more efectaal than
that aohich deludes them avith paper money.
This is the most efectual Of intentions to fer
tilize the rich man fields By the saoeat Of the
poor mans bro,u. Ordinary tyranny, oppres.
sion, e1cessire taxation, these bear lightly up
on the mass OF the community, compared actth
fraudulent Currencies and the robberies COM
mitted By deprecated paper."-Daniel

CHAsE's Chronicle appeals to the laboring
men to rally at Lewiston on Wednesday "to
give encouragement to those who are strug.
Cling to win victory for the rights OF thela-
boring Masses" The Chronicle suggests a
state of things which does not exist. Its
language implies that the rights of the labor
ing man have been abridged and that a
struggle is necessary to regain them. Such is
not the fact. The laboring man is not op-
pressed, and is not in danger of being except
at the hands of these men who appeal to him
to meet at Lewiston next Wednesday. The
party in power are seeking to give him sta
hle currency and to protect him from those
fluctuations in value which operate to rob
him OF his hard earnings. The Greenback-
ers on the other hand are laboring to con.
tinue his present distress by advocating the
issue of irredeemable paper money, the pur-
chasing power of which is subject to great
and constant changes. Before the laboring
man concludes to give encouragement to
such movement as the Lewiston conven-
ton is called to advance, he had better reflect
as to whittier it will lead him. The words of
such men as George Washington, Daniel
Webster, Andrew Jackson, and Thomas H.
Benton, all of whom denounced an ire
deemable paper currency as curse to the
laboring man, should weigh with him as
much as the utterances of Elliot King, Solon
Chase, John Todd and Col. Montgomery.

Current Comment

The Democratic Congressmen from Tenne-
see talk of issuing manifesto to counteract
Postmaster General Keys letter.
1t is remarked here by shrewd Democrats
that Speaker Randall has put on the Potter
committee almost every one of his rivals for
the Speakers chair. "The post of honor is
the post of danger" some one said when this
was pointed out, and the Speaker in assign
ing to leading places on the committee Potter,
Morrison, MacMahon, Houston and Black
burn, all possible candidates for the Speakers
chair, and dangerous candidates too, did
shrewd stroke of business.-N. Y. Herald,
Wash. Corr.
We are certainly no worse off in respect to
business than the rest of the world. The
complaints of dullness in all sorts OF industry
in Europe were never so loud as now since
the hard times began. In England the great
iron manufactures are doing little, and that
unproftably, and the cotton mills are about
as badly off. As for English vessels, they are
begging freights the world over. Reports
from the Continent indicate similar state
of affairs. We have our big grain movement
to brag of at least. England has no such
consolation, and Russia has had too much
war on hand to get much profit out of her
crops .-Sprin0feld Republican.
Fora people that was supposed to be dying
for supply of the silver ''dollars of the dad
Dies" Americans are certainly very backward
about taking the coin now it has been fur
nished. There have been coined to date
S., ,972, ,76S, of which sum there are still S5,-
1888 on hand. Add to this amount the
e;I,-or oart;f;oataS opd tho slvor oo;n rooo;uod
back, and it leaves the Insignificant SUM of
| $2S. 900 of silver dollars actually in circula-
ton. The fact is, no one wants the silver
dollars except as pocket pieces or curiosities,
and no one will take them when gold, green
backs or bank bills are to be had. By and by
when silver has been coined to such an
amount as to drive out gold entirely, and
| silver is the only specie obtainable there will
| be howl against the ''dollar of the daddes''
| compared with which the howl for them was
| gentle whisper.
/ do not affirm that friendly feeling cannot
be established between the people of the
North and South. do not say that between
the white and co,ored people of the South, the
former slaves and the former masters, friendly
! relations may not be established. do not
| say that Hon. Rutherford Burchard Hayes,
the lawful and rightful President of the
| United States, was not justified in stepping
| to the verge of his constitutional powers to
conciliate and pacfy the old master class at
the South; but do say that some steps by
way of conciliation should come from the
other side. The prodigal son should at least
turn his back uron the field of swine, and
| his face towards home, before we make haste
to fall upon his neck, and for him kill the
fatted calf. He must not glory in his shame
| and boast his non-repentance. He must moi
| re-enact at home the excesses he allowed HIM
| self to commit in the barren aud desolate
fields of rebellion.-Fred Douglass's Dec0ra-
ton Day ADDRESS.

SENATOR BLAINE's knowledge of polit-
ical history often puts his adversaries in a
sorry plight. The Democratic Senator Nor
gan from Alabama had the impudence to
suggest the other day that the appointment
of an additional judge of the circuit court Of
the Western district be delayed until the
Senate became Democratic on the ground
that this would secure an bipartisan judge.
Mr.. Blaine showed that for long period Of
years, and of some sixty judges appointed to
the supreme court under Democratic admin
istrations all but two were Democrats. and
that Democratic Senators refused to confirm
the nominations of John J. Crittenden and
George E. Badger, while of the five appoint
ments by President Lincoln five turned out
to have Democratic proclIVities. There was
nothing more to be said and the bill passed
without division.

As a very important source of strength
and security, cherish public credit. One
method of preserving it is to nse ii as
sparinsly as possible; avoiding occasions
of expense by cuIiivating peace, but re-
membering also that timely disburse ents
10 prepare for danger frequently prevent
much greater disbursements TO repeI ii ::
avoiding likewise the accumulation of
debt, not only by stunning occasions of
expense, but by vigorous exerfions in time
of peace to discharge the debts which un-
avoidable wars may have occasioned, not
ungenerOusiy throwing upon posterity the
burden which we ourselves ought 70 bear.

ADoLPH BALDsMEEDER, New York ju-
venile, is victim to flash literature. About
a year ago he formed the habit of reading
dime novels. His habit soon strengthened
into passion and he spent his whole time
.poring over such startling tales as 'Dead-
wood Dick", ''The Red Right Hand" and
"Double Daggers." His mind became in
famed with a thirst for bloody adventure and
he started out with several associates as a
highwayman. His career closed few days
ago when he was arrested for highway rob-
berry, and his confessions disclose life Of
crime seldom paralleled.

CONTRARY to general expectation, the re-
ceipts from customs for the last eleven
months and for the corresponding period of
last year are almost precisely the same. 1t
was presumed that there would be some fall
ing off, but the totals have been better sus-
tanned than was hoped. The internal reve-
nue. receipts, however, thanks to the vacil-
lating policy Of Congress, have decreased eight
per cent, which means diminution of over
seven millions in the income of the govern
ment. Nevertheless there will be enough to
pay running expenses, unless the cost of the
impending investigation Is too great.
