FROM Owen Kings record as an
Assemblyman we may fairly judge
what his course would be if he were
Congressman. In the Assembly
Mr.. King was among the most recl-
less in voting for claims Of doubtful
character. Among the stesls for
which he voted were the Morgan l..
Martin claim, the Calkins claim, etc.
Whether Mr.. King voted thus from
want of judgment, or because of the
pressure upon him to do 50 by inter
ested parties matters not. The fact
of his voting for them at all proves
him an improper man to entrust
with the more important duties that
Idevolve upon Congressman.

man who holds claim against another can

1t is not true that coin will be the

tion act becomes of force.
BY a law enacted by the last Con-
srcss the Greenbacks or leYal-tenders
which may be redeemed under the
provisions of the Resumption act
will be continued as part of the
legal-tender circulating medium of
the country. The law in substance
is to the effect that the amount of
Greenbacks outstanding at the time
of its enacted shall not be lessened.
1t follows that the Greenbacks
redeemed, in order that the VOL
ums may not be decreased, must of
necessity be again paid out by the

'tinued existence as current money

We are in doubt which most to
admire, the innocence, the profundi-
ty, or the lucidity of our Democratic
neighbor and his star contributors
On the financial question. Last week
they say that "the Republican party
took everything away from coin
basis" and make the inference,
that inasmuch as the Republican
party insists on returning to a sound
currency with coin basis at the
earliest practicable moment, therefore
"the laborer of the country has been
injured by the Republican financial
policy" If this were not sheer nom
sence or something more disreputa-
bic, it might pass for innocence.
The laborer above all others is
most interested in having such
sound currency that a dollar will
|
have the same purchasing power or
value day in and day out; dollar
that, as the unit of measure Of vol
ues, is not liable to daily fluctua-
tons and dollar that, If laid aside
for rainy day, will not be found by
and by to have lost any or all OF
its value. Gold most nearly meets
these requirements; and history
shows that no nation has been able
long to maintain sound currency
without gold basis.
When in 1861 majority of the
Democratic party and the rank and
file of their followers, set out TO
destroy the constitution and the
Union, the Republican party found
the treasury empty and the credit

With a bankrupt treasury and

ordinary means must needs be tried
by the government. Money and
credit gone, taxation and forced
loans were the only,ayailable means
left. Taxation gave q basis for
creditor nations, no less than in
dividuals to maintain their credit,
must demonstrate both their ability
and willingness to pay their debts
and funds we're slowly realized from
the sale of bonds. In addition, a
forced loan to the extent OF some
four hundred millions was adopted
in the shape of the once decried
and now altogether lovely "green-
back ;" which, on its face, pledges
the u S. to pay the bearer ION de-
mandy the sum originally loaned.
The greenback was disbursed by
government in lieu of money, be-
cause it had no money, in settling
the claims of creditors; but, GER
tainly, the acknowledgment Of debt
and promise to pay the same, is
quite different thing from actual
payment and no legerdemain of
manipulation or hocus-pocus of
Legislation can convert that promise
to pay money into money itself. 1t
remains what it was at first, simply
an evidence of debt just so long as
it is uncancelled and unpaid; but
when finally paid and cancelled it
will have lost the only value it ever
had, namely, as evidence of debt,
and the scrap will be as worthless
as waste paper.
In fixing a time and providing the
means for the payment of these
long outstanding national promises
to pay, as well as in other ways
striving to maintain the public cred
it, consists the great sin of Repub-
licans in the eyes of regulators in
particular and of the Democracy in
general, at least, if 'ye may judge
from the slsngy twaddle that graces
the columns of the Iowa County
Democrat.
The moral certainty that resump-
ton will take place at the appointed
time has so strengthened the credit
of the nation, that long before that
time resumption is already practic-
ally achieved. With the formal an
nouncement of resumption, and with
greenbacks and national bank notes
at par, gold will come in to increase
the volume of the circulating medium;
and with such a currency none can
find fault. Where then will be the
vocation of those pestilential dema-
gogues now perambulating the coun-
try, Grazing the brains of simple.ons
and tanning the desires Of improyi-
dent debtors seeking to evade the
fnll payments of their honest debts
Away with all demagogues.
We might allude to the "grievous
shock" dreaded by the Democrat,
soon to be felt when some person "to
fame unknown pays the war debt
of near two billions, all in coin, in
the twinkling of an eye, although
just who proposes such payment was
not announced. Then, too, the
genesis of the hard times, tracing
these to the disastrous effects OF
participation might equally merit
an alusion; but, seriously, the arti-
Gle is too purile for critical notice.

MEMRLR OF ASSEMBLY.

10 I'LL CueCA Pr CAoO yON"to ANA AAASA ~
ing in the town of Waldwick, aged
81 years. He was raised and edu-
Gated in Iowa county. All his hopes
and aspirations for success are inti-
mately blended with the interests Of
the people of the county. Their
prosperity is bis prosperity, and
their good fortunes his best wish.
C. s. Willard is the Greenback
candidate. A man whose private
character i, above reproach. He
was formerly Republican, land no
/, doubt will be again when the green
back folly is exploded.) His nomi-
nation by the acknowledgements
convention was with the hope that
he would secure enough votes from
his Republican friends to make pos
sible the election of Democrat in
this Assembly district-nothing more.
Had it been thought probable that
the nominee would be elected, the
convention that elected Mr.. Willard
would have selected somebody else
some one who could be depended
upon to affiliate with the Democrats
in the Legislature. No better proof
of this is necessary than the action
of that convention in other respects,
and the generally amicable relations
existing between the Democrats and
Greenbackers. In many Congress
ional districts, in scores of counties
and Legislative districts Of this State,
these two parties are united upon
the same ticket entire, and every
where is it the case to some extent;
but o single instance OF coalition be-
tween Republicans and Greenbac&-
ers, on any candidate, we think can
not be cited. 1t seems in face of
these facts no reasonable man can
doubt that the Greenbackers and
Democrats are essentially one, with
one common aim to which all others
are subordinate, !. g., to beat the Re
publican party.
The Democratic candidate for AS
sembly is J. M. Smith, Esq, of this
place. A man of pleasant demeanor,
social habits and tho usual graces
and embellishments of an experienced
lawyer
"Wulk into my parlor. said the spider to the fly
IT'S the preltiest little parlor that ever you
did spy"
He is straight Democrat. He be-
longs to the party who once denounc-
ed the issue of the greenback
when the government was sorely
pressed Tor money, but now wants
more of them, and proved it by en-
dorsing the Democratic (Greenback)
platform, adopted 10y Democrats III
convention at Fond du Lac last
year. He voted for Tilden at the
last Presidential election, and thus
endorsed the idea that the law fin
ing a definite period for the resump-
ton of specie payment was Chin
drance and a delay"
Republicans who have been mis-
lead by the sophestry aud cunning
falsehoods of Brick Pomeroy and
his clan, certainly do not wish to be
made mere whips in the hands of
Democrats to lashRepublicans with !!
Then, fellow citizens, don'tvote for
Willard. whose election is impossible,
and every ballot thrown for him is
half vote tor Smith, the Democrat,
against Cox, the Republican candi-
date, for we have an United States
| Senator to elect next winter, and
we'll need Republican Legislature
so strong that it will out-number
both the Democrats and Greenback-
ers in order to succeed. There is
