Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1878-08-29


The political career of Mr.. ID. w.
Voorhees, is especially distinguished
by his devotion to the interests Of the
wealthy classes, though no man In
congress or out of it talked louder
about the SONS OF toll" and his own
association with them. But with his
mouth full OF the hard listed farm
ers, who have no one on this floor
to speak for them," and OF "the poor
who were born saddled and bridled
for mental service" he voted away to
the swindling Jay Cooke Pacific rail-
road every other section of a ten-mile
belt on each side OF the road for 200
miles. That was on the last day OF
May, 1864. With the same mouthful
Of sympathy for the poor, he voted
s2O,00O,O0O into the pockets OF rich
distilleries and wholesale liquor deal
ers by exempting whisky on hand
from taxation, and increased the tax
es OF the poor and rich to just that
much more. This was on the 10Th of

"AbsOlute Money''-Abs0lutcly Worth
less.

The following truthful and timely
remarks are copied from an address
by the Republican State Committee
OF Wisconsin TO the people OF that
State:
whether issued by the Government or
banks consists in the promise it bears Of
payment and in the degree of credit at
tached to that promise. Ii it cannot be
converted at pleasure into currency of in
trinsic value ii cannot remain at par, and
its depreciation will be in proportion to
the prospect of its being convertible with
in longer or shorter period. The prin-
ted bits of paper which some wild theo-
rists propose to employ as currency, and
which they term absolute money con
tanning no promise of payment and no in
trinsic value, would soon become abso-
lutte in one respect only---they would be
absolutely worthless. This and all the
other chimerical projects by which it is
proposed to find a cheap and worthless
substitute tor the measure of value ac
cepted and employed by the civilized
world are tased upon delusion, if not dis.
honesty, and If adopted would result in
disaster and shame. We hold it to- be the
duty of Republicans and all good citizens
to oppose with uncompromisiDg firmness
all these mischievous theories, as well as
the cognate doctrines of Communism and
Internationaism, which menace society,
4 individual liberty, and the accumulated
savings of industry"

The Inter Ocean says: @In the yell
low fever season at New Orleans in
1853 there were recorded up to the
oath of August $500 deaths from
thar disease. Up to the same date
this year there were reported SIT
deaths. Bad as the present situation
Is. 1t cannot be compared with that
of years like 1853. The city is in bet
ter condition now than then, and yet
the New Orleans papers agree that 1t
Is as bad as it well can be. The
question is, II proper sanitary regula-
tons were enforced, would not New
Orleans escape the terrible scourge
altogether?

Judge Holman has been nominated
for Congress by the Democrats OF
the 9Th Indiana dist riot.
The Democrats in Mississippi are
advocating the election of Jefferson
Davis to the United States Senate.
The Democracy OF Maine complain
that they are being sold out to the
Greenbackers and some Of them re-
fuse to be delivered.

first on the list Of 10000 petition ers
to General Butler to run for Cover

ing's appears further down in the
list.
Senator Coke, of Texas. who is
now in Washington, speaks discour-
agingly about the Democratic pros
poets in his State. He says the
Greenbackers are very strong, draw
ing largely from the Democracy.
Every day the indications grow
stronger and stronger that upon the
day Of election the Greenback Demo
Gratis will vote for their former mast

It Is evident that the senior editor
Of the Herald does not like the sci
der" that flowed from the REPUBLICAN
press last week, and the wry faces he
makes over it are ludicrous. The ef-
feet was even more terrible than we
had anticipated, for it caused him to
suddenly come to the conclusion that
he was unable to make the canvass
for the young growing party" as
their candidate for joint representa-
tive. While he swallowed the dose
administered by the REPUBLICAN and
it had the effect above stated, he was
foolish enough to charge the Senator
from this district with being its au-
thor, probably because the Senator
was the attorney who sued him on
the executors bond for the legatees.
Mr.. Downey should recollect that the
facts stated In that article are most
of them matters Of record, and it was
not at all necessary to call in aid TO
write il. The course of the senior
editor of the Herald since he became
resident of Plymouth has "been
known of all men," and we are in po-
session Of many more facts OF the
same character, but we have no wish
to speak harshly Of any one unless
compelled to do so, or neglect our
duty as public journalist. The
weak stranger" as the Herald calls
US will try to deal fairly with every
one, and II the political doctrines which
we advocate or the party with which
we are associated, will not bear in
vestigation let them 60 down. We
shall endeavor to state the truth al
all times, and in the future, as in the
past, instead OF calling them liars
shall simply prove them such. whef
they are guilty OF falsehood. The
"Sider press" is becoming notorious
as paper that expresses opinion:
OF its own and will stand or fall on ii:
own merits.

The greenback is a promise to pay.
Each note says ~the United States
will p, = to the bearer" so many dol.
lars. This means will pay in coin.
The greenback is based on specie,
and never would have been forced
into circulation but for that fact.
The fat moneyists are clamoring for
an entirely different kind of paper
money. They demand that there
shall be no promise to pay and no
redeemability in coin. Their attempt
to identify their proposed fiat money
with the greenback is an impudent
fraud, which no person but a quack
in finance and a rascal In politics
would advocate. Indianapolis Jour-

The Rochester Republican says
there were some Republicans In Full
ton county who thought that a union
on 7. J. McClary, the Greenback
candidate, for Prosecuting attor-
ney might have resulted in his
election, and adds: "For our part
We can see no reason emitting him to
Republican support. He has left the
party, and Is this moment engaged in
active hostility against 1t. An un-
principled combination wi tn one OPP
ponent for the purpose OF beating
another has never seemed to US a
very elevated course to pursue In
politics. The Republican further
says Mr.. Hayes will receive the full
party vote In Fulton county. This Is
as it should be, candidate elected
by combination Of Republicans and
Greenbackers would be worse than a
defeat, on straight ticket.

February, 1864. With an equal
mouthful of hypocritical profess

been paid full price for, and all he had

A bill is now pending in congress
to enlarge the jurisdiction Of the
Court of Claims, so as to allow all
claims now prosecuted before the
different Departments Of the Govern
ment. including rebel claims now
barred by the act Of limitation as to
time, to be referred to it. The
people should GEAR in mind the
fact. that when they vote for John Fl,
Baker for Congress. they vote for a
man who will never vote to in
crease the burdens Of the people, by
allowing the claims Of rebels for prop
erty destroyed in a war for which
they alone were responsible,
