The Democratic SumerSault.

This year the Democratic rarty
has abiured its principles, violated
its t"adii MS, and abandoned the
ideas which have shone as 4 beacon
upon it's pathway, and given 20 its
past history its chiefcst CORY: and
it was done, as many other coward'v
things have been done, for expe Il
en"v's sake, under an allure:nent of
ambt on, and in vain hope that,
turning uoon its past an uniting
with the Nationals, it might march
to the heights of power. Whatever
else TIE people Of tbs co"ntry may
have done, they have never perman-
emily confided in any man or in any
party whose principles are for sale;
and it is to the deep discrcdit of the
Democrat party that by their own
confession, they no longer believe
in anything.

ity whose aggregate capital is $751;
OOO, ,OOO-its currency would be, by
supposition, one million. and the
residue of its capital thirty millions.
This being assumed, if the currency
be increased or decreased, the other
portion of the capital remains the
same, according to the wcll-known
laws of the currency; property
would rise or fall with increase or
decrease-this is come if the currcn-
cy be increased to two millions, the
aggregate value of property would
rise to sixty millions, and if the cur
rency be reduced to 100000, it
would be reduced to fifteen millions.
With this law so well established,
place the money-power in the hands
of single individual or combina-
ton Of individuals, and by expand
ing or contracting the currency they
may raise or sink prices at pleasure,
and by purchasing when at the
greatest depression and selling at the
greatest elevation, many command
the whole property and industry of
the whole community and contro! its
fiscal operations. The banking
concentrates and places this power
in the hands of those who control it,
and its force increases just in pro-
portion as it dispenses with a metal
ic basis. Never was an engine in
vented better calculated to place the
destiny of the many in the hands of
the few, or less favorable to that
equality and independence which lie
at the bottom of all free institutions.
ST CHASE.
Mr.. Chase, in his annual report of
of December 9th, 1861, discusses two
financial plans; one for issuing
greenbacks as currency, the other
for establishing national banks. AT
ter stating the advantages of the
first, he says:
These advantages are, doubtless,
considerable; and if scheme can
be devised by which such a circulL-
ton will be certainly and strictly
confined to the real needs of the
people and kept constantly equiva-
lent to specie by prompt and certain
redemption in coin, it will hardly
fail cf Legislative sanction.
The plan, however, is not without
serious inconven ences and hazards.
The temptation, especially great in
time of pressure and danger, to issue
notes WITH ut adequate provision
for redemption; the ever-present lia-
biiity to be called on ior redemption
beyond means, however carefully
provided ard m ,nagel; the hazards
of panics, depreciating, demands for
coin, concentrated on "a few points
and single fund; the risk Of Il de-
preciated, depreciating, and finally
worthless paper money; the immcas-
urabIe evils of dishonored public
faith and national bankruptcy; all
these are possible consequences of
the adoptio n of system Of govern
mcnt circulation. 1t may be said,
and perhaps truly, that they are less
deplorable than those of an ire
dcemablc bank circulation. With
out entering into that comparison,
the Secretary contents himself with
observing that, in his judgment,
these possible disasters SO far out
weigh the probable benefits of the
plan that he feels himself con-
strained to torbear recommending
its adOptiOn.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Its Mission Grand One, and it is Equal
to it.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The republican party holds that
the time for the resumption of specie
payments has come; that paper and
gold ought to be of equal value, and
that the era of fluctuation and un-
certainty be closed. 1t is for honest
money. As strongly does it set its
face against the redudiaticn of pub
lie debts, whether they be state, ma
tional or municipal. 1t holds that
the cornerstone Of public credit is
fidelity to contracted obligat ons.
1t has no sympathy with the bandit
doctrines Of reputation; adsocat, d
in certain democratic states. All
such practices it denounces as breaches
of faith disgrace.ul to the American
name, and as calculated to bring us
into discredit among the community
of nations.
The republican party believes that
it is duty Of the government to
give full scope to American enter
prise; that it ought to promote the
development of our trade by proper
encouragement to steam Lines that
will put us in direct communication
with all parts of the world; that the
public revenue ought to be d screetly
employed in the construction Of
needed public revenue ought to be
discreetly employed in the construc-
ton of needed pubic works, in deep
ening the channels of the great rivers
Of the west, and in facilitating inter-
course between the d fferet section s
Of our expanded territory. 1t does
not sympatlize with the starving rol-
icy Of the democrats in the last Con-
gress, which proposes to reduce the
the government to a mere nuility,
except for its own particular rur-
poses.
The republican party Will not abet
men of disloyal instincts in the war
Of destruction they are waging against
the army and navy. Il holes tlat
the Sc tiers On the frontiers have a
right to adequate protection, AID
that we should be ever ready to Put
down domestic disorder ard foreign
aggression. The navy, which in
every period OF its history has cover
ed itself with glory, which has re-
flected honor on the nation, and
which has protected our flag cn the
high seas, it holds, should be in the
future, as in the past, the representa-
tive of our power in foreign climes
and on the ocean, and that It should
be in condition to defend our mer-
camille interests and shield our coasts
from foreign enemies. The republi.
can party is a genuine American
party in the true sense, not in the
narrower signifcation of the term.
Its instincts and aspirations are all
America. 1t believes the United
States have great part to perform
in the worlds affairs; that we should
be true to our interests, develop our
local resources. become powerful in

The Greenback Position.

A poor man buys soup tickets.
He is not hungry at the time of the
purchase, ard will not be for some
hours. During these hours the
grcenback gentlemen argue there is
no use Of keeping soup on hand with
which to redeem these tickets, and
from this they further argue that if
they can be good for 4 few hours
without soup, why not forever? and
they would be, only the holder gets
hungry. Until he gets hungry of
course he doesn't care whether any
soup is on hand or not, but when he
presents his ticket he wants soup,
and the idea that he can have the
soup when he does present the ticket
gives it's value; and l 50 regard bank
notes without gold and silver as of
the same value as tickets without
soup.-Bo6. LyersoK.

Com ard Currency.

Hear what the earlier statesman
and Fathers IF the Republic had to
say:
Richard Henry Lee. President of
Congress, addressed a letter to
George Washington on the 10th of
1885, in which occures the following
paragraphs:
Is it possible that plan can be
formed for issuing large sum Of
paper money by the next Assembly:
I do verify believe that the greatest
foes we have in the world could not
devise more etfectual plan for ruin
ing Virginia. l should suppose that
every friend to his country, every
honest and sober man, would join
heartily to reprobate 50 nefarious a
plan Of :peculation.
To it Washington replied:

never shall hear, and serious men
ton of paper emission in this
State; yet such thing may be in
agitation. Ignorance and design
are productive of much mischief.
The former is the tool of the latter,
and is often set to work suddenly
and Unexpectedly. Those with
whom have conversed on the SUBJ
juct in this part Of the State repro
bate the idea exceedingly.
JEFFERSON.
Few Of the revolutionary fathers
made more careful study and en-
joycd wider range Of experience
on questions of political economy,
than Thomas Jefferson.
He says:
The unlimited emission of bank
paper has banished all her specie,
and is now, by depreciation ac-
knowledged by her own statesmen,
carrying her rapidly to bankruptcy
as it did France, as it did US, and
will do US again, and every country
permitting paper to be circulated
other than that by public authority,
vigorously limited to the just meas.

culation, are at the mercy Of those
self-creatcd money-lenders, and arc
prostrated by the floods of nominal
money with which their avaricy del
uges us.
CALHOUN, 1887.
The currency of a country is to
the community what the blood is t.
the human system. It constitutes a
small part, but it circul..tes through
every portion, and is indispensable
to all the functions of life. The cur
rency bears even smaller proper
ton to the aggregate capital of the
community than what the blood does
to the solids in the human system
What that portion is has not been
