From all parts of the country re-
ports come of the immense sales and
increasing demand for that deserv-
ingly popular Sewing Machine, The
Old and Reliable "STANDARD," the
price of which the proprietors wisely
reduced to $50, including all the at
tachments, and at once secured for
them a popularity among the pe0-
pie, far beyond that ever yet attain
ed by any other machine at any
price, the consequence Of which is,
agents are leaving the old high priced
machines, and seeking territory for
the "SrANDARD." Knowing from
experience that with the best goods
at the lowest price they can outsell
all other Machines, where the supe-
ior quality and low price is made
known. This splendid Machine
combines all the improvements. Is
far ahead of all Others in beauty and
durability of its work, ease of man
agement, light running and certainty
of operation, is sensibly made upon
sound principles, with positive work
ing parts all steel, and can be safely
put down as the very perfection of "A
Serviceable Sewing Machine, in
every particular, that will outlast
any Machine, and at price far down
below any other. 1t is thoroughly
warranted for five years. Kept in
orderfree of charge. And sent to any
part Of the Country for examination
by the customer before payment @
the bill. We can predict equally as
large a demand for them in thi,
section as in others. Families desir
ing the best Machine manufactured
should write direct to the Factory
And enterprising persons wishing tt
seize the chance should apply for SC

Pay up the old score,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-10-05

Pc Constitution, as follows
Ma The United States shall never
axe anything but gold and silver
<pln a tender for the payment Of
FDts, either public or private"
Eventually the indignation of the
democracy over the failure of the
Hepubilcan party to make dollar
worth one hundred cents
|1p gold became o great that Senator
hurman made the great speech of
EHe period, in Which he declared that
W love for greenbacks was a fatal
Neresy, and that the government had
o power or authority to make
Aoney out of anything but gold and
#iver, and that he would have moth
Nc to do with greenbackS. This was
PlloWed 10y the adoption of the fol-
9wing as part of the Democratic
Vatform, at the st. Louis Conven-
sAsssyrE -
1--WE denounce the failure, for all
these eleven years of peace, to make
good the promise of the legal tender
notes, which are a changing standard
OF value in the hands of the people,
and the non payment Of which is a
disregard of the plighted faith of the
nation"
The last act Of hostility to the
greenbacks on the part of the Demo-
cracy was in June last; when the
Senate amended the Ewing anti
resumption House bill, so as to read ::
"Be 1t Hcudcted, &C., That from and
after the passage of this act United
States notes shalt be receivable the
same as coin in payment for the four
per cent. bonds now authorized by
law to be issued and on and after
October, 1878, said notes shall be re-
ceiveable for duties on imports"
Here was a district proposition to
make the greenback good for any
thing that coin was good for, but the
hostility of the Democracy to the
paper money was so great that the
House killed it, only 81 Democrat
favOrihg it, while 81 of them voted
against it.
In spite of Democratic opposition,
the country has to-day 500, 100000
of paper currency which is just as
good as gold; more desirable than
gold. In three months it will be
worth more than gold, and no nation
in existence will have more solid and
secure financial basis than ours.
The 500, 100000 which will be in
circulation on January lst next, will
be the greatest amount ever in use in
the country, and will be ample for
every possible demand and every
possible purpose. Being fixed upon
a gold basis, always readily c0nver-
tible into coin, receivable for custom
duties and bounds, we contend that
it is the best money eyer known and
can only be kept so by maintaining
its present status.
Therefore, every person desiring
the prosperity of the country, should
repudiate such trimmers as Senator
Thurman and his cC-workers, who,
having been all their lives hard
money advocates Of the "strict con
structionist" class, now deliberately
repudiate the convictions of a life
time, and appear as advocates of
greenback infiation.-Gr.

ports' so that breaking the contract
on the face of the securities would he
equal to inf1icting an injury upon
ourselves. The bonds are the foun-
1ation of investm ents by the people
in savings banks, insurance COM
panles, and more directly Dy pur-
chases of the bonds themselves; and
we would be- a nation of lunatics
thus to proceed to rob ourselves.
But Although these considerations
may operate against the long life of
the greenback movement; we are by
no means certain that it may not
fournish the bridge upon which great
numbers Of men will cross over to
new organizations: Supposing that
the Greenbackers do elect a majority
of the next House of Representa-
tives, or even hold in it the balance
Of power, what will they find to do
when they rneet iii December. is7zg..
with resumption accomplished and
financial system based upon Hard
money too firmly founded to be
shaken? Perhaps there will be cast
ing about for new alliances fresh
public issues will be sprung, and peo!
pie will take sides accordingly. The
names of the old parties may survive,
but there will be as entire departure
from former standards as the Demo-
cracy is now far away from its
erstwhile platform of free trade,
hard-money and home rule. The
session of 1879-'SO will be largely de-
voted to President making, as al.
ways happens in the winter previous
to the assembling of the nominating
conventions. Certainly we may ex-
pect an eager search for leading prins
ciples upon which parties may be
rallied and platforms constructed.
The present Congress will not do
anything of consequence with the
finances. The Democratic majority
in the House may attempt to con-
ciliate the Gree packers by passing
repeal of the Resumption law and
attacking the national banks, but
the Senate and the Presidential veto
are secure. The most probable out
look we can see is that resumption
will come; that it will bring about
an industrial and trade revival that
these results will demonstrate the
absurdity OF the paper money craze,
and that the ground will then be
cleared for new questions and rear
rangement of parties. Baltimore

drenched the land with blood and
covered 1t with mourning; debt and
taxes. [ believe, too that those who

1t is noted with some surprise, that among
the votes against the anti-subsidy resolution
adopted by the House, was that of Mr..
Denison, of Vermont.
General Garfield was the only Ohio Con-

Gen. Ben Butler presented in the House

the Norfolk County (Mass.) Conference of
Unitarian preachers. After it was read he

the second chapter of St. John, had read the
following "And the Jews Passover was
