Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1878-08-01

There are four greenback parties
in New York, and two in the West
and Northwest. Prick Pomeroy and
the absolute fiat money wing are de-
nouncing the Toledo platform, be-
cause they say it proposes to pay the
bonds in gold. The Greenback can
didate for Governor in Michigan in
Inmates that any man who insists on
paying them in anything else than
gold is a repudiator and a scoundrel.
The theory originated by those two
blatherskites, Pomeroy and Cary,
that the country will be benefited
by liberal issues Of absolute worth
lessness, and that they. and their
crowd will get up a rebellion unless
they are authorized to repudiate the
national debt and all private debts
by issuing few hundred tons of pa
per declarations that they are paid.
Is so repugnant to all notions OF hon.
esty and common sense, that all hon.
est thinking men are abandoning it.
All true greenback men will vote
with the Republican party, the party
that made the greenback, and has
shown that it is capable OF regula-
lating the volume OF currency accoi
ding to the demands OF the industr
trade. and commerce OF the counrrt
and making greenbacks as GOO
as gold.

The conflict between the United
States Courts and the State Court OF
South Carolina, which Is creating so
much excitement is in substance as
follows: In the early part Of June a
deputy United States Marshall, at
tended by three deputy revenue COL
lectors, went as posse into Pickens
county, s. c.. to arrest a man who
was accused of illicitly distilling
whisky. One of his hands, named
Ladd, came to the assistance OF the
distiller with rifle and attempted to
use 1t, but missed his fire and before
he could fire again the officers shot
him dead. The officers Immediately
reported the case to the State au-
thorities, and they were indicted for
murder and are held in Jail. The
Judge, who was the rebel General
Kershaw, refused to deliver them up
for trial before the United States
Courts, rendering a decision in eff
feet, that the United States law al
lowing the transfer is unconstituti-
onal. 1t is the same old rebellion
against the sovereignty of the United
States, only in little different FORM
and only furnishes one more argu-
ment against electing Democrats
to Congress.

Senator Voorhees, never voted for
an issue Of greenbacks in his life. but
he did vote for resolution advising
the Secretary Of the Treasury to con-
tract the greenback currency, and he
voted to increase his own pay from
$1,000 to $500 a year, making 1t date
back two years. and pocketed the
$1,000 Of the peoples money obtained
by that vote. Yet the Greerback
Herald says that Voorhees, is right as
to the past. The people will recollect
when they go to the polls that vote
for Woodward or Confer is vote for
Voorhees,, the demagogue and salary
grabber.

Considerable excitement has been
manifested in the wheat markets of
Chicago and Milwaukee during the
past week, owing to the sharp ad-
vance in prices. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that these markets are
largely oversold-some estimate the
contracts for August delivery out
standing as high as 5000, 900 bushels.
A strong combination Of capitalists,
with headquarters in Milwaukee.
have been purchasing these contracts
steadily, and have compelled sellers
to submit to losses Of SOLO cents per
bushel so far, with probabilities that
further losses must be submitted to.
The recent storms have damaged the
crop Of spring wheat quite seriously
in Wisconsin, Southern Minnesota,
and Northern Iowa, and this shortage
in the crop has assisted the combina-
ton in maintaining prices. Some
parties predict that spring wheat will
sell at s1.25 on the present CROP

immediate cause of the failure was in the
inability of some OF their heaviest debt

Crop reports from the counties on the
line of the Union Pacific railroad between
Omaha and Kearney, and along the line
of the Omaha & Republican Valley rail-
road show that the wheat yield is not so

severe storms, but larger than last year on
account OF greatly increased acreage This

A mob in Washington Friday interfered
with laborers working at 81 day, over
turning carts, plows, etc., and compelling
them to desist. The police prevented
, further violence, but the laborers did not
resume work. The riotous demonstra-
ton was against laborers who were exca-
waiting the foundation of the bureau of en-
craving and printing building. The men
who ordered the workers to desist were
fully 200 in number, both colored and
white. One of the laborers who refused
to leave his work was badly cut The

Reports from the scientists at the avail
able points for viewing the total eclipse
of the sun Monday, state that the weather
was fine, the sky clear and the observation
perfect success. Edison's experiments
with the tasimeter were quite satisfactory
DR.. Draper, of New York, succeeded in
obtaining several photographs Of the sun
during the eclipse. Professor Watson, of
Ann Arbor, discovered an extra mercurial
planet. The eclipse is said, by some of
the observers. to have been entirely differ
ent from former eclipses, the corona being
ten times brighter than usual. The total
eclipse lasted two minutes and fifty two
seconds. 1t was viewed from various
places along the line of totality by the
leading scientists of the world. and many
things were no doubt learned that had
been before unknown.

In his 4th Of July address at Wood
stock, Conn.,, Ex-Secretary McCulloch
said: "The withdrawal OF legal-ten-
der notes was advocated because is
sued for war purposes only. They
were not needed after the close of
the war, In as much as the banking
institutions could and would furnish,
as they had done before the war, all
the currency that would be required
in the transaction Of legitimate busi-
ness" With more coin than currency
in the country, these State banks sus-
pended specie payments before the
war. But the greenbacks and Ma
tional banks have taught the people
that they can have a better currency
than was furnished by the old State
bank system, and it will take some
time for Hugh McCulloch and the
National Greenback Labor Reformers
to convince them that the present
greenback currency ought to be de-
stroyed.

The Stat organ of this city got
terribly excited last week, and de-
clared that a communist is a @mur-
derer, thief, traitor, villain, and all
the vile epithets combined" This Is
pretty rough talk for paper which
tries to be the organ OF The party in

Again, communism does not mean
murder, treason, burning, destruction
Of property, &C., as the Herald de-
clares. The editors OF that paper
would do well to get dictionary be-
fore attempting to define many more
words. Nothing better, however,
can be expected Of men who think
they are greenback men, and train
with party that is doing its level
best to destroy the greenback cur
rency; and while denouncing Hugh
McCulloch, accept as leaders the men
that advised McCulloch to contract
the currency.

The "fiat" money organ OF this city
has no fault to find with any man,
whatever may have been his past
record, provided he Is now in favor
Of destroying the present greenback
currency. He may be a National
banker and in favor Of paying the
bonds In gold, like Henry s. Smith,
the candidate for Governor In Michi-
gan; or he may be repudiator, like
Brick Pomeroy, and, like him, in ia
vor Of treason and the use of arms to
secure a division Of property; so
Greenback party it is all right.

The Greenback Party.

The great Republican party is the
original greenback party, and the on
ly true greenback party Of the pres
ent. Any other greenback party has
no past, no mission aud no future,
and only cumbers the ground. IN
doubtedly the primary object Of the
greenbacks was the salvation Of the
country. 1t was to save the country
from destruction. That object was
accomplished. Union was maintain
ed, and we now have a country. II
was accomplished by the aid of green
backs, as well as by the swords and
valor and blood Of Republicans. The
greenbacks now have a mission
reaching as far into the future as hu-
man foresight can scan. They are, to-
gether with coin, to constitute a cur
rency for the people, a standard
measure Of values, and medium Of
exchange Of properties and commo-
dities, Of permanent and equal value
for all people everywhere In every
State and every locality throughout
the whole country. The purchasing
power. or measuring value, Of this
standard should be unfuctuating,
neutrality-suspicious. therefore the
volume Of currency, the quantity
Of greenbacks must be determined
by the demands Of the trade and
commerce Of the country, 80 that
prices Of all properties and commo-
dities throughout the country will be
steady, and only varying by the sup
ply and demand according to the
productions and use of certain COM
modities in particular localities.
The Republican party is the only
political party in the country enti-
tied, worthy, or qualified to guard,
protect, and regulate this great and
paramount interest-the volume of
currency.-Nei1 Republic.
