Yes, and many of their useless

That is what is the matter. The
overtaxed people, who support the
Office holders, want less offices; the
Office holders and Office seekers
want more.

If We have said nothing for some
months past of the improvements
going on in Lake Charles, it is
simply because we could not do
justice to the subject. If we could
spare the room, we could devote a
column every week to notices of
local improvements. We will pay
more attention to this subject
hereafter. ..

ahylCck Unmasked

From the 7. rrc Ilautc Express.
For several year past Il certain class of
finance doctors have been laborimg to cs-
tablish mOnO-metaIlic standard. This
move does not seem to be in the especial
interest of either one or the other
of the precious metals, for each in
turn has been adopted and the other re-
ircted.
1t is the singie StdHdad sought, rather
than choice OF metals
In 1851, through the influence of Chcva-
lier and Others, several nations in Europe
including Germany and Austria, adopted
the single silver Standard dcmoRcti.iHg
gold.
At later period, the most important
countries i'll Europe restored gold and eth
er demonetized or prohibited the further
coinage of silver.
The question arises why this opposition
to the use of both gold and silver? Why
is the single standard demanded!
Not because the relative value of ,hc
two metals cannot be maintained
In all the discussions, while these chang
es were going on in Europe, the point was
not made that one metal had deprecated
relatively to the other, but by reason of
extraordinary supplies of gold from Cali
tornIa and Australia, and silver from Ne.
vada, both metals had deprecated rela-
lively to tabor and commodities, and that
those having fixed interest incomes were
being injured by Il rise in prices, growing
out of the mcreaSed rOlltme Of the hc0 met
ais.
1t was raid of the money power, the
creditor class of usvrers, upon the labor
and products Of the people.
Chcvalier pointed out how the double
standard had prevented any change from
occurring in the relative yaue of gold and
silver, and how it would continue to doso;
and in order to protect the interests of cap
ital, and the income classes, it became
necessary to diminish the volume of money
by demonetizing one of the metals.
Herein lies the secret of specie basis
virtue. 1t was not that the money kings
of Europe loved gold less Or silver more, or
rice rersd, that each turn was debased and
then restored, but it was the rOiume of the
two that cheapened money, increased the
wages Of labor, the price of products and
made debts and interest easy 10 pay.
The contraction of our currency in order
to reach the gilded floor of resumption was
not because debt paid with coin was any
better or surer paid than if paid with le-
gal tenders, but it was that the volume of
money might be reduced, SO as to reduce
the price OF labor and commodities, that
fixed interest incomes might be thei more
valuable.
The objection to greenbacks is not that
they are inferior to bank cure acy, that
the money kings desire to displace them
Weekly Chillicothe crisis., 1878-12-26

From Chases Chronicle.
The Grecnbackers concedc that rcsump.
ton maintained knocks their schemes in.
to nothimgness.- .-LeWiStOn JOWWdi
If resumption is maintained and pros.
perity does not come, and falling prices
rule for the next year as for the last -four
years, the Republican party will go as the
ice goes out Of Il c river, 1t with resump.
tion comes prosperity, that is all we want,
and our course in the future as it has been
in the past will be guided by the logic of
events. The test by which the Republican
party is to be tried is not whether they can
maintain resumption, but whether they
cln restore prosperity. If debts rise and
all property falls for the next year as they
have for the last four years, the doom of
the Republican party is sealed. If re-
sumption can be maintained and prices
turn up so the debtor can breathe frecr,
the Republican party may sail along in an
easy sea until the next suspension of spe.
Gle payments. The Republican party
hangs upon the ragged edge of pluraIities
in nearly all the northern states, and if
they an'tmenlmatters they be hurled
from power by Il combination of the oppo-
sition. Thousands OF business men and
employers say if resumption don't revive
our industries they will try the other
plan. These men, if prosperity don t
come with resumption, are ready to Jein
drives with the Greenbackers. Hence the
Greenbackers are ready to test the scheme
by trial, for if prosperity comes our ends
and objects are answered, but if the era of
rising debts and falling prices goes on the
Greenback party will grow as no party
ever grew.
England has got resumption and has
had resumption for 80 years; but she has
the same difficulties we haye. England
has that system that we have gone through
fire aid water to reach, but her industries
are paralyzed and her producers bankrupt.
Then what reason if there TO hope that re-
sumption will cure all our ills? England
has had no civil war as we have, but she
has got all our troubles.
The trouble is, the purchasing power of
money has been increasing for the last ID
years, until now prices are lower, the world
over, than for 40 years. During the last
10 years, by demonetization of one of the
precious metals and contraction of pa.
per money in the leading nations, the vol.
nme of money has been largely diminished
in the world, aud prices are adjusting
themselves, the world over, to this dimin-
ished volume of money. That adjustment
has not been reached, and will not be in
this country until a large portion of the
fixed property changes ownership. That
change is rapidly going on. Shrinkage Of
values is the milestone that hangs round
the neck Of the Republican party. Prices
are lower than fofforty years, and the New
York Public finds after Il careful eompari-
son that the general average of prices is
10 per cent lower than last year. The
man who hired labor last year to make
shoes or cloth or to raise corn and hogs, Is
ID per cent. poorer, while the man who
has held his money boarded for year and
hired no help is Is per cent. richer.
