something of what they possessed. AS none
but the rich could buy, all the valuable prop.
erty of the country would before long pass
into their hands, and the transfer now CO.
ing on at fearful rate, because of a re-
dundant, deprecated and irredeemable Gov
ernment paper currency, of the property of
the poor and middle classes to the rich
would be greatly accelerated. We should
end as all other nations trying the expert
ment have ended, in general impoverishment
and ruin.
Mr.. Poor also points out that bad cur
rency always furnishes an occasion to des-
perate and revolutionary characters to arouse
the passions of distressed people and ex-
cite war of classes. When period of dis
tress follows the issue of this currency the
explanation of the trouble most readily
accepted is that il has been caused by the
avarice and selfishness of the rich who
are engaged in conspiracy against the poor !;
and from this the conclusion Is logical enough
that the latter should resist by every means
in their power, even revolution. The utter
ances of the Greenback orators are but
echoes of the terrible harangues of Marat
and st. Just, the French revolutionary lead
ers. They are conceived in the same spirit,
couched in the same infammatory language,
and will if needed, bring about the same ter
rible result.
This book of Nc. Poor's, so strong and
outspoken in exposition and warning, de-
serves the attention of every sober-thinking
man.
Presumption and the Silver Question. BY Henry
V. Poor. New York: ii. " g II. w. Poor.
The Portland daily press., 1878-08-17

In his speech before the Democratic
County Convention the Democratic candi-
date for Congress in this District said that
"The great failures of this land have been
caused by the ruinous contraction of the cur
rency." That statement was a bid for the
Greenback vote. Now what are the facts in
the case? From 1869 to 1873 the currency
was inflated over fifty-six millions. Then in
face of this steady initiation the crash came.
That was wha. imitation did. But on the
principle that hair of the dog will cure the
bite-a principle which Mr.. Anderson now
advocates with great zeal-the currency after
the panic was still further inflated thirty
one millions. Surely, if there be any cure
in initiation it should have been wrought by
that dose. Daring the five years Immediately
before and after the panic the currency was
increased eighty-seven millions. The official
figures of the Treasury department snow
that the outstanding circulation of State
banks, national banks, and United States
notes and fractional currency, was. on the
Both of June.

Hon. W. P. FRYE made ringing speech
for hard money at Auburn Hall on Tuesday
evening last. 1t is so full of good things that
we should like to print the whole OF it. Lack
of space forbids, but we cannot forbear to
print one of his vivid illustrations of the char
acter OF the delusion of the believers in
"spook'' money. Mr.. Frye says:
But, says our Greenback friend, we are going
to maze this a legal tender. Admit for the
sake OF the argument you can. What can the
government make it legal tender for? A le-
gal tender for the payment of debt. Oh yes !
Here we are all in debt and the news comes
tnat the Government has printed two billions
OF pieces OF paper which are legal tender for
our debts. Good gracious! how we want to get
at that two billions of dollars! Ho,o can aoea
There is no man in this hall that can tell me
how to get dollar that is worth dollar with
out paying for it in work or worth unless Won
steal II They say they are going to have cheap
money; we'll 1t will be cheap money. L asked
one OF their leaders the other day. He replied |;
b I'VE have not concluded how thu people are TO
get it yet laughter; but my idea is that
the Government should print them and ap-
point sao-treasurer III every county 10 the
United States and send him some of this
money! suppose bale or basketful-and that
he should loan this out to Tom, Dick and
Harry at low rate of Interest, and take mort
cages on ANYTHING man had who wanted
money. What magnificent field this would
be for the Androscoggln bar! 1t would take
every minute of our time to draw up the papers
and protect the sub-treasurer; aud the Judge
would take all his time in entering Up jadg-
ments!
You go over to Augusta and pick ou. the
craziest man in that insane asylum, and you
take that crazy man and you pick out the dark
est night that ever existed, and you put that
man in the deepest sleep that ever was, and
you get an angel to bring him the widest
dream that ever came to the craziest man in
the darkest night on this earth and it would
not begin to compare to this insane delusion

STATE QUARTERLY CONVENTION
OF THE
RLFORM CLUBS OF MAINE.

The quarterly Convention of the Reform Clubs of
Maine will be held at
Bangor, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept
4sh and 9Th.
The several Conventions holden under the auspices
OF the Reform Clubs of this State have been exceed
ingly beneficial in their results and we trust that
this one, which is soon to in the Queen city
OF the East, may not only awaken new interest in
the temperance work in the old county of Penobscot
but may be instrumental in forwarding the grand
mission of reclaiming men throughout the length
and breadth of the Pine Tree State. With this OBJ
Ject in view, we trust the various Reform Clubs in
this State will send full delegations to the Conven-
tion and thus aid in "rescuing the perishing" and
elevating humanity.
The following arrangements have been made with
the railroads and steamboats, for the round trip:-
one and one-flth fare on Maine Central and its
branches. One fare on Grand Trunk and branches
TO Danyille aud Yarmouth functions. One fare on
Portland & OgdensbuIg Portland s. Rochester R. r,
and Bangor and Machias Steamboats,
Delegates on M. c. and G. 7. R. R. will enquire for
reture tickets. The Secretary will furnish return
checks on the P. &. o. and P. & R. R.R.

HERE is some good reading from the Bos-
ton Advertiser for those who have been mis-
led by Greenback orators and journals: No
seoen'thaty note agas eeer legal tender
The first issue of 140 millions was authorized
in July and August, 1861, before any paper
was made legal tender. The second issue
was under the act of June, 1864, which only
made such of the notes authorized by 1t as
were made payable, principal and interest at
maturity, legal tender; the compound inter-
est notes issued under this act were, and the
seven-thirty coupon bonds were not, legal
tender. The act of March 8, 1865, under
which the third and largest issue of seven
thirties was made,-S437, ,2lO, ,4OO, did not
make them legal tender. So the long un-
challenged assumption that the $50 millions
of seven-thirty notes outstanding in 1865 were
part of the paper money of the country, is
totally untrue.
The Portland daily press., 1878-08-17

SENATOR THURMAN is another apostate.
On the Oath of March, 1874, in the United
States Senate, he asked: "Are we prepared
to declare that under a government which
our fathers meant should be hard-money
government, but which has drifted away
from their intention-do we now, against all
the light of experience the world over, mean
to Danish gold and silver from circulation in
this country, for all time to come, and do
the business of the country upon irredeem-
able paper, depending for its volume upon
the will and caprice of the moment, or upon
the views of members of Congress seeking
reelection or aspiring to higher place?
think not. do not think that all the teach
ings of political economy should go for waste
paper. do not believe that we are ready
for this entire revolution upon so great a sub
jest" Now he is prepared for just that
thing, and advocates currency that shall
depend for its volume upon the will and ca
price of the moment, or upon the views of
members of Congress seeking reelection or
aspiring to higher place. He is uncommonly
anxious that all the teachings of political
economy shall go for waste paper.

THE Democratic candidate for Congress in
this District complains bitterly that he is
unfairly used. But does he not use others
unfairly? He is quoted by the Argas as
saying: From what read in the Republican
newspapers 1 should judge that debtor and
scoundrel were synonymous terms" Does
Mr.. Anderson pretend that that is fair
statement? He knows better. He has read
in no Republican paper in the land declara-
tions that can even by the utmost stretch of
meaning be construed as he construes them.
He deliberately misrepresented statements,
aud endeavored to excite against the Repub-
lican party the anger of those of his hearers
who were debtors. That is, he endeavored
to excite war of classes, the poor man
against the rich man, the debtor against the
creditor, aud thus went far to justify epithets
which ne wrongfully accuses the PRESS of
applying to him. The "iron hoof" is not
only put down upon newspapers bu. upon
creditors.

RICHARD GRANT WHITE, writing on
Americanisms in the current atlantic, quotes
from correspondent who says that the word
whisker is used in the West to mean hair
growing upon any part of the face. Mr..
White says he never in his life heard whisker
applied to any other part OF the beard than
that which grows upon the cheeks, but hav-
ing never been farther westward than Mag
ara, he does not dispute his correspondents
statement. Had he ever been farther east
ward than Boston he would feel stlll less like
disputing it.

THE Democrats SAY that Republicans call
names. Well, there is some calling of names
on the other side. Here is choice bit of
rhetoric from the latest issue of that Demo-
cratic paper the Rockland Opinion, to which
we respectfully call thu attention of the
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
First District: "The claim of the Republi-
can party, as expressed in their platforms
and by their hired stump falsehood-mongers
to be the champions of "honest money" is
one of the most impudent of the lying pre-
tences made by that hell-begotten, God-for-
saken combination of constituencies thieves,
public robbers and professional liars and
hypocrltes who lead, and virtually are, that
party"
The Portland daily press., 1878-08-17

In the Boston Journal Of about a week ago
appeared paragraph stating that some Of
the Democrats of York county were urging
their candidate. Gen. Anderson, to meet Mr..
Reed in debate on the financial question at
different points in the District. Since that
time nothing has been heard of the matter,
and it seems that the General don't care to
accommodate them. 1t would certainly ex-
cite good deal of interest to have such
discussion, and people would thus be able to
hear both sides from the same platform.
Perhaps Gen. Anderson may think better of
the matter.
The Portland daily press., 1878-08-17

The Republican party fought the war
through to victorious ending with a fire of
rebel bullets in front and fire of copperhead
ballots, conspracies ard draft riots in the
rear. Win it now put these men, those who
fought it at the front or intrigued against it
at the rear, in command? Or will it divide
or fritter away its strength, thus giving these
men the victory?

LISTEN to this exultans cry from a Missis-
sippi Democratic paper, the Okoloua South
ern States: "Just wait, boys! We will
have everything our own way after 1881.
The radical amendments will be torn out of
the constitution by the roots, and the several
States of the Union will again become tree,
sovereign and Independent. Just wait
Southern ideas are bound TO control this
country YETI The event will certainly JUS
tify this prediction if the North sends Repre-
sentatives like Mr.. S. j. Anderson to Con-
gress, Northern men with Southern hearts.

THE unknown New Orleans newspaper
reporter whom the Potter committee have
been examining is as great romancer as
night editor Anderson. The talents of these
men are wasted on the witness stand. They
ought to write for the story papers or become
Greenback lecturers.
