Rose Hedge.

Take for instance the beautiful hybrid

dreds of varieties many could be selected
that would form a really ornamental
hedge, while "the grid" would certainly
have a good chance to make rose
bouquets. A hedge OF roses would attract
the attention oi every one passing by.
The whole lawn would have q lively
look. But what beyond the rose hedge I
Grape vines, ! say. Why could not you

aud the bushes will stand pruning. Both
are ornamental and tasteful. And here
IwoHd remark that, in my judgement,
in many fine places there Is too much
space devoted to lawns. l have actually
seen places where every tree and shrub
was cut down TO make lawn, Just
because an extensive lawn was the
prevail ing rage. There stands the
house isolated, and all you can zee in the
background Is the post for the clothes

choose either "John Hopper" or Gen.

hedge of vines l should take the Della.

senator Voorhees, Financial Record.

Hon. ID. w. Voorhees, made a speech at
Schoals, in tLis State, on Wednesday, in
which he asserted that "the Democratic
party had always been the friend of green
backs" A more impudent falsehood
never was uttered. The Democrats in
Congress opposed the first issue of green
backs!almost solidly, and the party never
lost an opportunity in or out of Congress
to discredit them. In this connection we
give Mr.. Voorhees, individual record on
the greenback question.
On the 9th of February, 1862, the
House came to vote on the proposition to
issue $150,OO0,OOO of United States notes,
which should be illegal tender In pay
ment of all debts, public and private,
within the United States" The bill
passed the House in this shape by a vote
of ninety-three yeas to fifty-nine nays.
Mr.. VOORHEES, voted against 1t. OF the
ninety three votes In favor of the bill
eighty-six were Republicans and seven
were Democrats OF the fifty-nine who
voted against the bill thirty eight were
Democrats and twenty-one Republicans.
In the Senate an amendment was adopted
making the notes receivable for all public
dues and demands except for interest
upon bonds and notes, which will be paid
in COIN" The bill came back to the
House with this amendment. and the
question of concurring therein came up on
the Goth of February, 1862 After some
discussion the amendment of the Senate
making customs duties payable in coin
was concurred in by yeas 80, nays 30
Every Democrat in the House except two
voted to concur in this amendment, Mr.
Voorhees, so voting. OF the fifty-five
votes against concurring fifty-three were
Republicans and two Democrats. Other
amendments of the Senate were non con
CURED in, and afcommittee of conference
was appointed. This committee met a
similar one appointed by the Senate, and
they agreed upon the bill as 1t final
passed. On the question of concurring in
the report of the conference committee
the vote was yeas %, nays %. OF the
twenty-five votes against coucurring fif
teen were Democrats, Mr.. Voorhees, being
of the number.
On the 18th of January, 1862, the fol.
lowing resolution was reported in the
House from the Committee of Ways and
Means:
"ResolCed, etc, That the order to pay the
ordinary expenses Of the government, the
interest on the national loans, and have

struction of the greenback currency.
has placed ticket in the field. While
1t is hardly probable that any large
number of men will vote that ticket.
every greenback man in the county
should rally at once to the support OF
the Republican party, the party that
made the greenbacks and has main
tanned their credit until they are as
good as gold. A party that seeks to
destroy and driye out OF circulation
the present greenback currency,
whether headed by ID. w. Voorhees,
or "Brick" PomeroJ, deserves no
mercy at the hands OF the people.

The Pennsylvania Nationals have
sold out openly and shamelessly to
the Democracy. and the chairman of
the National Greenback committee
announces that their principal object
is to elect a Democratic United States
Senator. The combination will not
probably accomplish their object, but
the men OF Marshal. county who have
gone into this new party. thinking it
the embodiment Of honesty and prin-
ciple, will probably be little sur
prised; but if they will look over the
past history Of the party and its lead
ers, they will find that it has been for
sale at all times to any party or any
thing that could put money in the
pockets Of its managers.

John M. Koch, Recorder of Allen

There are living on South Main
street two young boys, aged IL and
IL years respectively, who, at this
stage Of young Americanism, when
good boys are supposed to be scarce,
are well worthy of mention. During
school they attended regularly. had
good lessons, and yet always managed
to make from 81 to Sc per month.
Since school, instead OF spending
their time in running around on the
streets, they have been busily en-
gagged picking berries, making from
80 to 60 cents per day. Besides these
habits of industry which they have
formed, they are good, moral, relig-
iously trained boys, and their parents
have good reason to be proud OF
them. With such habits they will
certainly make their mark. 1t gives
US pleasure to make record OF such
boys.-Elkhart Daily Ne,cs. :

imposed, which shall, with the tariff on
imports, secure an annual revenue OF not
less than $l50,000,0J0."
This resolution was intended to pro
vide ways and means of supporting the
government. II passed the House by 1873
yeas to nays. The nays were all Dem
ocrats, and Mr.. Voorhees, was one of
them. -
On the 9Th of April, 1862, "a bill to
provide internal revenue, support the
government, and pay interest on the
public debt passed the House by 126
yeas to 10 nays, Mr.. Voorhees, voting in
the negative. In April, 1864, the House
passed an amended internal revenue act to
provide ways and means to support the
government by vote of 10 yeas to 80
nays. Those voting in the negative were
the Democrats, Mr., Voorhees, being of the
number On the 18th of December, 1865,
the following resolution was introduced in
the House:
"Resolred, That this House cordially
the Treasury in relation to the necessity
of a contraction of the currency, with a
view to as early resumption of specie
payments as the business interests of the
country will permit; and we hereby
pledge cooperative action to this end as
speedily as practicable"
The resolution passed, Mr.. Voorhees,
voting In the affirmative.
We have only given those votes in
which Mr.. VOORHEES, appears on the record
as voting. He was absent or lodged when
many important votes were taken, but the
record does not show that he ever cast one
vote in favor of greentacks, or in favor of
raising revenue to support the govern
ment. He voted against the bill author
izing the first issue of greenbacks, in favor
OF the Senate amendment making customs
duties payable in gold, and against the
bill as thus amended. The Democrats in
the House voted nearly solid against
greenbacks in every shape which the
question assumed. For Senator VoOr-
hees, therefore, to set himself up as a
greenback champion is an act of brazen au-
dacity, and for him to say that "the DEM
ocratic party has always been the true
friend of greenbacks" is an impudent
falsehood clearly disproved by the record.

The various reports Of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury show that this
government has paid annually for
the past ten years s9O,OOO.OOO on the
national dept, parallel no where
found among other nations.
SO far as money is concerned, there
is plentiful supply, provided good
security can be obtained. The banks
in our large cities to-day have money
to loan, but cannot do it safely, be-
cause the borrowers have not good
collaterals to deposit as security. In
fact an unnatural state OF affairs
seems to be prevalent. the cause Of
which none have found out.
The condition of the crops through
out this land is excellent. We have
been told from time out OF mind that
good crops produce abundance, not
only with the agricultural class. but
with manufacturing enterprises, and,
in fact, with all classes; that agricul-
ture is the foundation OF all wealth.
Well, il these things are so, why is 1t
that business is so dull? Why is it
that our retail trade is so depressed
throughout the country, and our
wholesale trade in an unsettled con-
dition?
The cause Of our monetary depres-
sion is want of public confidence.
The farmer has no confidence in the
merchant; the banker has no conf
dence in the farmer; the mass OF the
people have no confidence in the
bondholder. The rich distrust the
poor, and vice versa. Money is lying
idle in the vaults OF banks waiting
for a secure investment. Business
men are seeking for capital to carry
on their manufactures, and, not being
able to get it, succumb to the press
of circumstances. and fall, drawing
many Of their creditors with them
into ruins Of bankruptcy.
How to remedy this state Of affairs
is question profound and difficult.
But the first step toward the resolu-
ton is what our Methodist brother
calls "faith." Faith in our institu-
tions, faith that we are coming out Of
this crisis now, and faith in the peo-
pie, will do much to solve the ques-
ton. But then faith without works
will do nothing. So, il our moneyed
men would have faith, and invest
their boarded gold and silver in le-
climate enterprises, the blocked-up
wheels Of commerce would begin to
turn, and the spindles OF 10000 manu-
factories would start, and prosperity
smile upon US. The remedy is to re-
store public confidence.
