The Lamoille news. (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1877-1881, 1878-07-17

One apparent fact now confronting /
the north, is the fixed determination
on the part of the south, TO force up
on the country the payment Of rebel
war claims. The action of democrats
in the last Congress had a very sus-
picious leaning in this direction, but
the introduction of an amendment to
forever prohibit such payment, was
the occasion for siXty-two southern
democrats to place themselves square
" on the record in favor of peying
all southern war claims. With a near
certainty ola Democratic majority in
the senate, it is wise to consider this
question and see to it that none but
true and loyal men are returned to
Congress. With the depressed con-
dition of our industries, it is not
pleasant anticipation, that we and our
children may be oppressed by the tax
gatherer, to pay the claims of those
who fought four years to destroy the
union.
The soldiers who risked all for the
old flag, will do well to remember that
the day is near at hand unless they
are keenly on the alert, when they will
need to ask democratic Congress to
remove their disabilities. Nor is this
all. Tie action of the democrats of
last winter in relation to pensions, is
but the precursor of an advance
movement against the pensioning of
any more invalid soldiers of the late
war. The fifteen thousand pension
agents in the country, who have pre-
pared the cases of thousands of disa-
bled soldiers discover a disposition in
the legislation of the last house to pre-
vent filling any more pension claims
of any kind. In the near future the
grey and the blue will confront each
other in congress with the grey hold
ing the advantage ground. Every
Union soldier should awake to the adj
vantage of the hour. The attitude OF
the democratic party on the question
of the election of President is such as
to raise great doubts of the future
With bulldozing, murders and TAM
Ipering with returns, they essayed in
the last campaign to elect Tilden.-
Finding they were beaten, money was
lavishly spent to debauch returning
boards. This scheme failing, they IA
vor revolution. True men of boil
parties united upon a plan for q com
mission, as the only means of pre-.
venting civil strife. They meet anC
under their solemn oaths Mr.. Hayes
is declared entitled to his seat, and ht
is inaugurated. The same revolution
lists were not satisfied, his title is as
sailed and the peoples money is nov
being squandered-to send commit
tees here and there to hunt the Nc
Lins, W6Ders, and others to furnisl
material to run the democratic machin,
during the fall elections.
With a large Democratic majority il
the last house, no action was taken t.
prevent the repetition Of such scene
in 1880, for the evident reason tina
these revolutionists are we'll satisfies
: with the present law, and the oppol
tunities it gives them to defeat tn
honest preferences of the voters in tn
, next presidential election.
The early prospect of resumption
= giving great encouragement to reviy
ing business interests. There bein
{: no longer occasion to hoard gold, an
: the value of silver coin having bee
e equalized, very marked increase
e seen in the quantity of old coin no
= in circulation and it is safe to estimat
n that 500, 100000 will be added to IL
i volume of the currency, by returnin
+ to business uses the boarded coin
d the country. With greenbaeks equ
d to gold, why not resume at once?
n dollar will never, during this generi
ton purchase as much as it will t
day. FAX.
