nat.
We must confess thu
We like the sturdy, un.
compromising resolu
lions upon the currency
question which wer,
there adopted. They
have = directness AND
force very gratifying &c
all who believe Ia souno
finances and national in.
tegrity, and who kh0u
that unless all human ex.
peIience fails, and III,
lessons of history are re.
versed, the delusion Of
an inflated currency is I,
die a certain AID early
death. 1t is easy to Sc,
that the Republican,
mean to make their 6ghI
mainly upon the curien'
cy question. And that
il must be conceded, i,
the one important, over
acknowledgements issu,
upon the decision o.
which is TO hang the fu
ture prosperity OF tn,
country.
1t Is to be regretted
that, while this squsr'
declaration goes belor'
the people oil the state,
large portion Ut the dem
ocIatic party, striking
hands with the Green
back leaders, are endesv
oring to seduce demo
Gratis to the support o
that folly. Tney vii
find that the friends o
honest money in til,
democratic party will
find means TO make thei
votes count 10 favor o
their belief.

DIR. Ladd's Political Ladder.

DR.. G. w. Ladd of Bangor, was nomi-
mated for Congress by the greenback Con.
vention at Bangor on the 10Th. The Doc
tor, who derives his medical title from
former proprietorship OF AN apothecary
shop in that city, holds that all the coun-
try's ills can be cured by forcing the
greenback bolus down the patient throat
Some embarrassment in business affairs is
understood 10 contribute to the Doctors
conversion to the theory of paying debts
by the easy process of watering the cur
rency to the extent required.
1t is funny fact that the Doctor, who
has belonged in a few years to at least four
different parties, urged upon the green
back State Convention resolution declar-
ing that candidates should be taken from
those who have not been active politicians
or old office holders. That resolution was
adopted-and now behold, as the green
back nominee for Congress, the willy Doc
tor, who has been 'everything by turns
aud nothing long a Wing. Bell and
Everett man, Il democrat, and now a
greenbacker
The Commercial is urging on the demo
Gratis OF the district the adoption Of Ladd,
at Bangor on the 10Th. 1t is difficult to
conceive how any democrat. schooled in
democratic doctrine, and especially In the
resolutions of the State Conventions of
the last ten years, can stultiiy himself by
supporting paper money infationist.
Such trade may be made in Bangor, but
it will be found difficult to deliver the
| goods as per contract.

Words for Workingmcn.

The Boston Herald addresses few words of
truth and soberness to workingmeu, which they
would do well to lay to heart. 1t assures them
that they ought to be unanimous and earnest in
favor of hard money, and Ids "a redundant
currency increases the relative power of capital
over labor, and when currency represents no
real vslue-i. based upon nothing actual-a prom
,se never to he fulflled-the work'ngman, who
has only his labor to sell, is completely at the
mercy vi the men who, having the capital control
the Currency. In the long run, an irredeemabe
currency Is lad for both capital and labor, a. our
experience shows clearly enough. but its first and
worst effects are always felt by labor"

cant comment upon the clsmor Of he n1gogues
that millions Of workingnen are seeking employ
ment at any price aud cannot ind it. The work
is plen'y, wages are liberal. hut the workingman
does not appear In all these Western States
the Greenback movement is said to he stronger
than ever. Its platforms camor for "relief for
the workngman," yet when the relief is offered
he does not take it, This is a fresh and most con
elusive evidence that the men who are leading
this crusade against capital are men who do not
want relief by labor but by plumber. They don't
want to work for a living; but to get a living
without work.-Neie York Tribune

Two Views of the Republican
Platform from two Democratic
Papers.


Aud then at This
From the Portland .4r-
gus.
The platform adopted
yesterday is not like the
old time platforms of the
party when 1t spoke out
squarely upon live issues
and hesitated not to de-
clare its full belief upon
all public questions. This
one is made up OF eva
.ioLs and straddles, to-
gether with a few worm
eaten planks that have
done du[y since the party
was a par y. No hrm
stand Is taken upon any
Important question. Ii
would not be safe. The
party papers aud leaders
IN Maine have made u
great splurge of late
about the financial ques-
ton. But we look In
vain through these reso-
lutlons fol- any plain out
spoken declaration upon
tue subject. . . Was
there ever such q plat
form put forth by a pollt-
zeal convention! Did
ever = party 20 into a
canvass SO barren OF live
issues! Whoever votes
the Republican ticket
his fall will do so Simply
to keep the party leaders
in office. The party has
no other mission - the
platform Itself confesses
1t, tor the people of this
country do now enjoy al
heir political and civil
rights.

Getting Back to Reality.

All that is meant by resumption of spe-
Gle payments is getting back to the solid
financial basis upon which we stood at the
opening of the rebellion. To carry on the
of paper money became necessary than
the usual business of the country required.
As was foreseen and predicted this paper
deprecated in value, and the depreciation
was shown in the rise of prices OF all COM
modities--goods, lands, rents and wages.
Relatively these things were worth no
more than before, but seemingly they
were; and as the prices advanced, peo-
pie felt they were growing rich. In fact,
they were growing poor. The money is
sued to conduct the war was used to pay
soldiers, whose time and energies added
nothing to the wealth of the country con-
sequenily the money used to carry on the
war represented, when the war was over,
the loss In production which the war had
created Money, instead of being the evil
ence of wealth, as gold is, was the evidence
of debt. aud represented loss instead OF
gain, as money ordinarily is supposed to.
The greenbacks were only promises of the
government to pay, and just as much rep
resented part of the national debt as the
bonds did.
The first effect of the suspension of spe.
Gle payment was the depreciation of pa
per, or. as it appeared, rise in prices
As prices continued TO rise, it took more
paper money to transact the business oil
the country, and this necessitated further
Issues from time to time to meet the de.
mand and as each issue caused increas ed
depreciation, the process of initiation
went on continually. and SO debts rapidly
augmented, under the guise OF riches. 1t
was a fascinating illusion. 1t was fic.
ton, and in the nature of things could
not continue. We must, In the long run
live on realities, and voting to keep VI
the delusion by keeping up the initiation
which caused the deusion does not an
tended TO an explosion all the time, ant
the explosion could not be avoided. A
the day of reckoning came round to on,
and then another, the signs OF unsound
ness were disclosed, and failures an.
panic ensued OF course there came ,
clamor for more money, and the insolv
ents all said il they could only get accom-
mediation as usual-that is, if they coulC
keep on borrowing-they need not fail
The difficulty was that they could no
longer borrow. Debt beyond ability e
pay had absorbed their substance. anc
not being able to put up security, thei,
own notes would not bring the meney
The bubble being blown to the last de
gree Of tension. at length burst, an,

To return to specie payment is there
fore on J another name Tor getting bacl
from delusion TO reality. This is wha
the republican party OF Maine declare
itself 10 favor of, believing that is tn
honest thing to do. and if it is not don,
and the doctrine OF the greenbacker
should prevail. the result would be in al
probability financial ruin to the countr,
and CONFUSION of society such as ba
never beea Witnessed in this land.

An Outside Calculation.
From the Boston Trsvelle


The republican party of Maine, in all its unys-
rying history OF union and success, has held few.
if any, conventions that could surpass that at
Portland the other day for earnestne-s and enthu-
siasm and after the talk about dissatisfaction with
the manae ement, and the reported adverse inhu-
snce of the new civil service reform office holders
the information from oil quarters is that the re.
publican masses were never more Determined than
now to win an emphatic victory. GA the other
hand, the democrats have coaxed and played with
aud encouraged the Greenback movement until
their party is poisoned by Greenback hereses be-
yond hope of success against the new departure
while it hesitates TO affiliate with them in full Il:
is on the fence, repudiated by the out and out
Greenbscker, and followed coldly by the bull
Zionist" Nearly allied 10 policy, yet the demo-
Gratis and Greenbackers have nominated separate
State tickets, aud will live largely by eating each
other up. The Greenback movement has psrtaken
too generally of democratic methods to attract as
many republicans ss it expected, aud probably It's
vote will fall far short of its most modest anticps
tions. Last year the vote of the State was:
For Connor, Republican, 80 6S
Williams, Democrat, 42,ll4
" MunsOn, GreeDback, 5266
But thus vote was not within 10000 of the vote
that Maine can bring out, and will probably bring
out this year. Gov. Connors vote was "a, 600 in
1875, and we confidently expect that il will not be
ten thousand short OF that this year. Ii is posi-
bic that The democratic vote may be slightly larger
than last year, although we cannot see where the
votes are to come from, siuce many of the demo
cratic papers are leaning towards the Gree uback
ers. The greenback party will draw largely upon
the democrats in Penobscot and other eastern
counties and throughout the State they may OBJ
tam accessions, republican and democratic, hber-
rlly estimated, amounting to ten or twelve thous-
aud votes. The Stale vote prob ably will be about
thus:
