SOLON CHASE ON SPECIE PAY
MENTS.

"With this sum specie payments can be
resumed at cnce, and the premise that is
written ON the face of the greenback to pay
the dollar, made good. This would give
Bill a good dollar for his work, and the
wounded veteran good money for his PEN
sion, which is only justice nnd fair play TO
Bill and the veteran; that is, Bill NOT only
would work for gold wages as he
does now, but would buy his goods
at gold prices, and thereby save
another large item of the $25434 that
is pr essed out of him annually
SPE Gle PAYMENTS Is THE ONE
THING NEEDFUL I'm OUR PRESENT
CONDITION, AND WILL CURE Us OF
MANY FINANCIAL ILLS. The moment
You have got specie payments, Pendleton's
and Bufler's theory Of paying the bonds i'm
greenbacks, which means neither more or
less than more and meaner money, be-
comes obsolete. If Congress in its blum
derinXs, did not agree to pay the principal
of the bonds in gold, it ought to have
agreed to, and specie payments will make
the agreement what il ought to be. The wit
ofman cannot devise any scheme that will
bring absut specie payments other than re-
deeming greenbacks with gold; that is, let
somebody else have some good money be-
sides the bondh hslders.-SOLON CHASE'S

now TO GET GOOD TIMEs.

a Pennsylvania paper sets up the following
gasae.board as sboocing the way to good times:
Curse the capitalists; frighten them all you cars
do not let them go into business Tthey shoo
any opposition to do so, call a meeting; getup a
set of rules and regulations for managing the
business so as to break them up as soon as posi-
Ole, and threaten those aoho aoill not go IN under
the rules, until they gather up their money and
tea0e the country, as they haze already begun to
do. Nothing helps times so msatch as to let men
kro0 that If they get more By aoorking hard than
you do By idleness, you aoM compel them to d.
oide. They ooiH acork all the harder for such en-
coaroge,aent Go right ahead NTH your COM
naunistic speeches. AH that is necessary is TO
fod'oao up, and zoe aci1 soon be all on the GROUND

The several Conventions holden under the auspices

and breadth of the Pine Tree State. With this OBJ
Ject in view, we trust the various Reform Clubs in
this State will send full delegations to the Conven-
ton and thus aid in "rescuiDg the perishing'' and
eevating humanity.
The following arrangements have been made with
the railroads and steamboats, for the round trip
one and one-ffth fare Maine Central and its

"A return to specie payments at the earle
est possible period compatible with due re-
gard to all interests concerned, should ever
be kept i'm view. Fluctuations i'm the value
of currency are always injurious, and to
reduce these fluctuations 10 the lowest pos
sible point will always be a leading pur-
pose I'm wise legislation. Convertibility,
prompt and certain convertibility into

THE real friends of working men are those
who insist upon having honest money in cir
culation, and not those who clamor for a
currency that would foster speculation, in
crease the power of capital, and cheat the
laborer out of part of his hire. Workingmen
have nothing to do with the manipulation of
the money market, nor do they profit by fuc-
tuations in value.

between ducats of full legal weight and due
ats of light weight, added to the number of
ducats named in the paper. That is the sto-
ry, and the whole story, of the credits of the
Bank of Venice being always worth more
than coin. Once explained and understood,
whatever may have seemed marvellous in the
history of the Bank of Venice credits be-
comes quite commonplace and very familiar
to all persons who, during the last Is years,
have had to purchase coin with greenbacks.
A few years ago Sis in greenbacks being de-
posted in bank, the depositor received a
draft for 800 payable in gold. The bank
draft was therenpon at premium of Is per
cent. over the 800 legal-tender greenback,
stamped with the seal of the United States,
and declared to be zone hundred dollars"
and, in the language Of the current plat
forms, ''secured by the faith and resources
of the nation.'

Wool for Market.

The Harrison county wool growers,
who, by the way, are among the best
informed people in the State on that
and kindred subjects, at the last meet
ing of their association, passed the fol-
lowing resolutions, which may be Oi
some service to wool growers In this
county:
Resolved, That in the opinion OF this
Association the reputation and cOnse-
quently the price of our wool, has been
seriously injured by the careless way in
which it has been washed and prepa.
red for market, and we believe that
our financial interests would be en-
hanced by washing it we'll.
Resolved, That we recommend ty.
ing wool loosely. .
Resolved, That the stuffing of wool
with the intention to deceive the buy
or is an act of personnel dishonesty,
which we condemn as we would false
representation in any other transac-
ton. Any person guilty of such prac-
tice should receive the condemnation
of all honest Dnen, and should be pros
ecuted at law.
Resolved, That we regard the wool
buyers as mainly responsible for the
bad condition In which wool is gener-
ally prepared, on account OF the fact
that they do not generally make prop
er discrimination in price.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
Association buyers should discriminate
in paying such prices as would encour-
age growers to put their wool in good
condition.
