The Democratic. Greepback Iatrigue.

1t has long been suspected that the pur-
pose of the more interruptions leaders of the
Greenback party in this State is to turn the
organization over TO the Democracy this Fall.
That suspicion has well-nigh become GER
tainty. In one Congressional District at
least, the First, the alliance is avowed.
Elliot King of the Neav Era, who has been
telling his followers through the columns of
his paper that they must cut entirely loose
from the old parties, now says, as quoted by
correspondent of the Boston Globe, that the
Nationals must accept outside help-that is
must join drives with the Democratic party.
At the same time Mr.. King was opening his
heart to this reporter the leading Democrats
of the District were rushing to be interviewed
by the correspondent of another Boston
paper, the Herald, and tumbing over each
other in their haste to get his ear and an
nounce themselves as the original Green
hackers. the only genuine articles in the
political market. Gen. s. j. Anderson In his
eagerness to get his views before the people
has submitted himself to the torture of a
double interview. To one correspondent he
says that the present state of business has
largely resulted from the contraction of the
currency; and furthermore says that "Con.
traction has left the relative values between
property and money unequal" whatever
that may mean; it has all the bewdering in
consequence and obsure meaning Of plank
in Greenback platform. The General
wisely leaves way OF escape open in case the
projected alliance between the Nationals
and the Democrats should fail. He says he
"has not yet fully digested the matter"

In submitting the electoral bill to Congress
the committee having it in charge used these
words: I'VE respectfully beg leave to impress
upon Congress the necessity of speedy de-
termination upon this subject. 1t is impossi-
BILE to estimate. the material loss that the
country daily sustains from the existing state
OF uncertainty. 1t directly and powerfully
tends to unsettle and paralyze business, to
weaken public and private credit, and to create
apprehensions in the minds Of the people
that disturb the peaceful tenor of their WAYS
and mar their happiness. Is does far more.
it tends to bring republican institutions into
discredit. and to create doubts of the success
OF our form OF government and of the perpe-
tuity of the republic All considerations of
interest, of patriotism and of justice unite in
demanding OF the law-making power a meas
ure that will bring peace and prosperity to
the country and show that our republican
institutions are equal to any emergency; and
in this connection we cannot refrain from The
expression of our satisfaction that your COM
mlttee, composed of equal numbers of oppos-
ing parties, have fortunately been able to do
what has been attempted in vain heretofore
almost unanimously agree upon a plan
recommended by them to be just, wise and
efficient. We accordingly recommend the
proposed act to the patriotic and Just iudg
ment of Congress-" On this committee were
Abram S. Hewitt, William M. Springer and
Eppa Hunton. These gentlemen now pro-
pose to reverse the decision made in accord
ance with the plan which they recommended
as 'just, wise and Efficient, to bring back
again the disturbance and paralysis of busi-
ness and the weakening of public aud private
credit which they so heartily deplored two
years ago. What is their conduct but unwise.

CONGRESSMAN HARRISON of Illinois

CONGRESSMAN HARRISON of Illinois is
unhappy and wishes he had opposed the Pot
ter resolution. He is not alone in his grief
The cause of his regret seems to be a yigor-
GUS letter from one of his constituents who
informs Mr.. Harrison that he voted for him
because he supposed you to be good Dem
ocrat, man, and not knave and poodle
led along by any Southern Democrat as he
pleased" The indignant constituent adds:
"We have held to-day an indignation meeting
and five hundred who voted for you aud
would have done SO again will next time
rather vote for Satan himself. If there is anv
mistake we have made in our lives it is that
we helped send you to Washington, There
are many of our Irish fellow citizens who fee
the same. What on our part can be done to
elect you to stay at home where you can do
the least mischief, be sure that will be done.
We feel in duty bound to denounce you, to
work against you, although protessedly you
belong to our party. Shame, shame on you
to misrepresent your constituents. In the
name of 500 Democrats" Mr.. Harrison is
not the only one of the conspirators who
begins to fear for his political future.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter draws
attention to a necessary but too often
neglected distinction between two classes
of debtors in these words: One of the
most promising signs of the times is the
manifest determination in commercial circles
to uphold the standard of mercantile honor.
In these days Of depression and shrinkage it
does not follow at all that because a man
fails he is obnoxious y reproach or censure.
If he has done all that he could to avert the
catastrophe, if he has been overborne bv an
adverse current so swift that he found him
self powerless to resist it, he will be certain
to receive the sympathy of his compeers,
and to be treated lenienty by his creditors.
But if he shows any disposition to practice
eoncealment Or deception, to withhold full
statement OF his assets and liabilities, or to
drive sharp bargain with the people who
have trusted him, he deprives himself OF all
claim to lorbearance, aud should be pursued
with a rigor that will serve to deter other
men from following his perncious example.

"Ihe very man OF all others avho has the
deepest interest In a sound currency, and
arho suffers most by nsischieUous legislation in

falling bet,oeen morning and noon, and fal.

things constitute the oery harvest time of spec

at once idle and crafty. y 4 disor-
dered currency is one of the greatest political
eoils. 1t andermines the Uirtues necessary for
the support Of the social system, and enc0ur-
ages propensities destructive to its hnppixess.
1t scdrs against industry, Jrugality and econ

mankind, none has been more efectual than

A CORRESPONDENT of the argus does not
see how the good work of reducing the ma
tional debt goes on. He has only 10 look at
the records of Republican administrations
since the war to discover how. He will find
that under Republican rule the debt has been
decreased half-a-blllion, and that Secretary
Sherman is following in the path of his prede-
cessors. Unless stopped by unwise legisla-
tion he will refund the bonded debt and re-
duce the interest charge one third.
