A PRINTERS VIEW OF COHI-
MUNISM IN AMERICA.

At the twenty-sixth snnual session
of the International Typograph-
ical Union, held in Detroit in
June, there was assembled the
intelligence Of a vast army
of workmen, representing trade
second to none known, a school
whence many Of the brightest lights
of science and philosophy have sprung,
and one that gives greater
impetus to civilization than
any known agency. Upon this occa-
sion President d. r. Streeter made an
able address, rejecting upon the con-
duct of the organization, and in which
he, properly enough, as printer and
an intelligent workman, drew the line
of demarcstion between workingmen
and Communists. He said:
do not believe there are 1000 bona
tide Communists born on this side of
the ocean within the borders of the
countries which you represent. / be-
lieve that most of the excitement re-
garding Communism which at present
prevails Is caused by the bluster and
windy words of few worthless Yaga-
bonds who never did an honest day's
work in their lives outside of the peni-
tentiary, and who seek to incite genu-
inc workingmen to Unlawful acts
through the medium of paid agitators.
X The ac0rkingmen desire no dIvis-
ION of property and overthrow of the
social structure. Where is the lsborer
or machanic who does not look forward
to a time when he may possess little
home of his own where he may have
his family around him, and no landlord
may ask him for rent After striving
for years by honest labor for the ac-
complishment OF such an object, think
you he would wish to divide with one
of these agitation" gentry 1
have mentioned this subject because /,
for one, do earnestly protest against
the claims of these fellows that they
are workingmen, or that they represent
workingmen in any sense whatever.
My idea is that they are bummers ana
barnacles thrown out bv the polihical
parties in their periodical, spasmodic
cettfScfr,s 81 at reform, and thai they espouse
the principles of Communism because
they hope for chance to live at some
body else's expense, without work.

This idea of terrible contraction is
taken up by the blatherskite orators at
every school house, and it is continually
stated that $500, 900, 600 OF 7-3O bonds
were legal tenders and the circulating
medium has been reduced by that
amount in their cancellation. Now,
the truth is, that only one issue Of
7-30s could have been made legal ten
ders-that Of June 80. 1854, and this was
only for 5000, 100000. The record
shows that all the 7-30s issued were
coupon bonds, each having five coupons
attached. The record shows that every
six months one of the coupons was paid
by the Treasurer. The act of June 30,
1864, authorizing the issue of $200, 000,-
600 of 7-30s, conferred an option on
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue
them as legal tenders or not at his dis
cretion. II he conclu led to make
the interest payable every six
months, they were not to be
legal tenders, but if he thought
it expedient to make them payable,
principal and intererest, at maturity
(three years from their date), then
'such of them as shall be made psya-
bic, principal and interest, at maturity,
shall be legal tender to the same ex-
tent as United States notes for their
face value, excluding interest" The
Secretary determined not to issue them
as legal tenders, and therefore they
were printed as coupon bonds with in
terest payable every six months. What
farmer or merchant in the iRterior of
Texas ever saw a 1902 They were
not legal tenders; never circulated as
such; were issued as other bonds with
interest coupons attached, and when
they were taken up and cancelled the.

culating medium, but got rid OF

THE PRIVILEGED CLASS.

II is disgusting, this everlasting
nonsense of the few Southern Green
back speakers and newspapers that
talk SO glibly about the privileged"
class. Who constitute it9 There is
and can be no such class in the South.
Andy johnson won every honor and
modest competency, and surely he was,
of the privileged class" Alex
Stephens, the scholar by charity, is the
choicest representative of this South
ern privileged class" Before the
the war hereditary shareholders were
possibly Of a privileged class"
They were hereditary sristocrats, and
none the worse for pride of blood
and lineage II these rendered
the commission Of an unworthy act i'm
possible; but the South contains no
distinctive body of citizens TO whom
the eplthet privileged class" can be
applied at this hour. And yet this
Grsenback party 10 constituted mainly
of those who are consolidated against
body of citizens who, If they ever
constituted & recognized power in
Southern society, have long ago lost
caste and lost power and recognized ex-
istence. The sbsurdity of appeals to
prejudices of the poor against the rich
as now made are illustrated in the
fact thst the chiefest leader of the
Greenbaek party, Ben Butler himself,
ID Of the richest citizens Of New Eng
land, and the Greenbackers' candidate
for the Governors place in Texas was,
not long ago, the claimant IN our
courts of broader area Of country

LOOK AHEAD AND NOT BACK
WARD.

Nobody regrets more than intelli.
gent, honest Democrats, the organiza-
ton, in the East especially, of classes
arrayed in hostility against each other.
Here We have no defined, fixed
classes, and the only distinction is
OF race features, and the line of de-
msrcation between the rich and poor
is undiscoverable. We have no rich
aristoerats, no shoddyites. II the Con-
federacy had prospered, we would have
shared these blessings with our North
ern fellow-countrymen; but defeat
often involves blessings greater than
those of victory. Men do not, but
God knows what is best, and the direst
punishments are often the choicest
benefachons. While we rejoice to-
day that the bloody shirt, as the ban
ner of a ruInous, mslevolent party, is
6nslly furled, and sectional fury no
longer exhausts itself in denunciatlon
of the South, we cannot forget
that Blaine still plots a renewal of
he suife, and Sherman weeps
over the woes of Eliza Pilkston.
These vicious and violent Northern
party LEADERS have won offices and
honors for eighteen years with unvary-
ing good fortune, and simply because
they bestrode the negro and command
ed the worlds sympsthies. We have
here in the South class Of party
ers who have never failed TO cooper
ate earnestly and actively with Blaine,
Conkling, Butler and Sherman. Even
when the people, utterly oblivious of
crimes and follies of eighteen years
ago, have nominated John Hancock
for office. our Southern Blaines and
Shermans and Ben Buffers, roasting on
the sandy sesshora at Galveston, haye

oS the twenty-third ultimo, aside
from the sums forwarded from Texas,
the sum total of contributions to yellow
fever sufferers amounted to $s52, 80.
This sum includes only such items of
contributions as had been given at that
date and mentioned in the newspapers.
There are countless sums that have
gone into the ''cities of the plain, {"
which have never been mentioned by
the press. Friends snd kindred of
dwellers in stricken cities and villages
have forwarded countless dollars to
individuals, and therefore the How
ards of Memphis have stated that they
would levy no further contributions
upon public charity. But this hot
weather may effect change in the con-
dition Of cities and country, and a.
long as human suffering and angush
demand it 90 long should the generous
and good send money to the Wretched
and helpless.
