The Lnte GreenBack Party.
Washington Post.l

Last year the Greenback party
pOlied 2,759 votes in Colorado; this
year it lost seven-tive per cent OF
these.
Last year in Connecticut it cast
1914 votes; this year the party has
not been heard from there.
Last year in Iowa it fused with
the Democrats, and the two parties
together cast 125,000 votes, from
which substracting the IS, 600 Demo-
cratic vote left the Greenback
strength at $4,000; this year, with
the total vote in the State increased
A, 900 it polled $4,000 votes only,
which is equivalent to loss of 49,
600 or 10000.
In Maine last year it polled H.
600 votes; in Maine this year it poll
ed $4,000, q gain of $4,000.
No comparison can be made be-
tween the votes of this party in Mas
sachusetts in 1878 and .S79, on ac-
count of the Butler Democratic vote
being entirely mixed in with the
total vote that Gen. Butler received.
Last year in Mississippi it pOlled
1900 votes; this year it has only
been heard from in that State in a
scattering away.
Last year in New York it polled
$4,000 votes; this year less than
10000,
Last year in Ohio it polled $4,000
votes; this year about LOCO.
Last year in Pennsylvania it poll
ed 81, 900 votes; this year some 49,
600.
Last year In Wisconsin it polled
&c, 600 votes; this year none at all.
The question is what has become
of the Greenback party? We think
ii is dead.

A Hint to workingmen.

The honest wOrkingmen of the
country, many of whom have large
and increasing families to support,
have been the chief sufferers from
the great financial pressure under
which we have labored for the last
few years. Diminished wages have
not been attended by a correspond
ing diminution i'm price of every
thing which the workingman needs.
Rents, fuel, food and clothing are
cheaper, but these do not constitute
all his necessities. 1t is sometimes
necessary for him to employ law
yer or a physician, yet the fee rates
of physicians and lawyers are as
high as they were in "fush' times.
Vet cheap medicines are as neces-
sary as cheap rents or fuel. Cheap
medicines are not necessarily poor
medicines. 1t must be obvious to
every intelligent person that medi-
cines, compounded and put up at
wholesale, can be sold at much
lower rates than when retailed from
the doctors pill bags. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets have
completely restored persons who
had spent hundreds of dollars in
vainIy seeking relief from private
practitioners, and AL at very
slight expenditure.

soLsD ALABAMA.
Not q Cens of scalfnE---A Warrant
Never Presented Withemr
BEING Cashed.

w. w. Screws, Secretary OF State |
of Alabama, says:
Alabama has never repudiated or /
rejected one dollar of bonds issued
by authority of law for the use Of
the State. At the close of the late
war we owed bonds to parties in
London and America amounting to
81 ,066, 100. Governor Patton issued,
during his administration, $500, 200,
making the total bonded indebted
ness Oct. l, 1868, "a, 726, 800. Since
then bonds 10 the amount of several
millions were Issued by Cows. Smith,
Lindsey and Lewis. When our debt
settlement was made, the bonds of
the State for State purposes and for
endorsements of railroads, includ-
ing accrued interest, amounted to
nearly $3O, 100000. The State made
settlement BY which the holders
Of the States bonds agreed to ex-
change old bonds for new ones with
out abatement of one cent of princi-
pal, but a reduced rate of interest.
We settled with the largest bond
interest, some SIG, O00, 200, the Ala
bama a. Chattanooga, by surrender
ing the States lien on the road and
lands and telegraph line, and Civ
ing 81 900, 900 of new bonds, and re-
ceived back the bonds issued by the
State in aid of the road. The road
is nearly 300 miles long, and is in
straight line from New Orleans to
New York, and on the shortest
route via the Cincinnati Southern to
Cincinnati. There are some bonds
bought through the Legislature for
railroads from 1868 to 1878 which
the State has never recognized, but
! they do not amount to a million
dollars, and the owners never have
/ pressed them. The State bonded
/ Indebtedness to-day is 1921 200,
which will bear two per cent. inter
est until July, 1881; then three per
cent. for five years; then four per
cent. for ten years, and then five per
cent. for ten years, making an ave-
rage of about four per cent. Alaba-
ma has never scaled the principal of
her own bonded debt one cent, but
has bonds out to-day, dollar for dol
lar, TO the full amount, and will pay
all interest the day it is due, and a
warrant Is never presented at the
State Treasury that it is not imme-
diately cashed, and our present rate
of State taxation is seventy cents on
500 of property, and fifty cents for
county purposes.

The Tariff Issue I'm Congress.


Washington Special TO Cincinnati Com
mercial.
The coming session of Congress
will see a very serious attempt
made to revise the customs laws
with view Of reducing the tariff,
and the attention that has hitherto
been devoted To the currency prob
lem will be directed to the tariff.
1t will be made a party question,
too, and the Democrats will appear
as the champions of free trade, the
only exceptions being the Demo-
cratic members from Pennsylvania
and New England. The Republi-
cans in Congress are, with one or
two exceptions, strongly in favor of
a protective tariff. The balance of
power on these questions will lie
with the Greenbackers, who, now
that the movement they represent
is practically ended, are expected to
return to their old party alliance.
The Committee on Ways and
Means, which will have the subject
in charge, Is what may be defined
as a revenue tariff committeeman
il, q large majority of il favor a
tariff for revenue, instead CT internal
taxation, but there is not majority
favorable to protective tariff.
Four Republican members, Frye,
COngeT, Kelley and Dunnell, are
strong protectionists. Garfield, the
fifth Republican, is very mild in
his views, but is very strongly in
favor of a tariff for revenue, and
will vote with the Republicans
against revision.
Fernando Wood is a prOtectionist
mt heart, but favOrs a revision to
please some of his constituents, who
are large importers.
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia /;
Gibson, of Louisiana; Mills, of
Texas ; Carlisle, of kentucky; and
FELTON,, of Georgia, are all Free
traders, but they want cotton, to-
baccO, sugar and other products of
the South protected.
Morrison, of Illinois, is. a Free
trader.
Phelps, of Connecticut, is a Pro-
tectionist.
The committee thus stands: For
Wood, Tucker, Gibson,
Carlisle, FELTON,, Mills and Morrison
i. Against revisiOn-Garfield,
Frye, Phelps, Kelley, COnger and
Dunnell-6.
Information has been received
here that the Free-trade interests
are organizing, and that the at
tempt at tariff legislation will COM
mence as soon as Congress assem-
bles.

The Jersey City Haald-whose
editor, Mr.. Hugh McDermott, i a
well-kn0wn politieian-publishes
the following:
Now that Mr.. Tilden seems re-
legated 70 private life, itwilldo him
no political OF personal hurt to. refer
to few things Of the past. In a
conversation year ago last autumn,
at the United States Hotel, Sara
ltoga, between Samuel j. Tilden, the
ldefrauded President, Smith NJ.
Weed and the writer, we asked Mr..
lTilden what he thought of John
sherman. Without hesitation, but
in slow and thoughtful words, Mr..
Tilden replied: tsNr. McDermott,
: John, Sherman's a rascal
Sherman's name was dropped and
the conversation turned to the Ele-
ctOral Commission. It was asked
if the act had his appreciation when
il was before CONGRESS. His answer
was: 81 disapproveu of theact, as il
was utterly unconstitutional; but
my wishes were not consulted, nOI
was my opinion asked regarding the
bill by any of those having Ii in
charge-nOt even Mr.. Hewitt sought
J me about it-and therefore could
not interfere to oppose it,"
We remarked: 'tfsdmunds cook
ed the bill, Mr.. Tilden."
Mr.. Tilden answered; "f blame
Thurman and Bayard. They con.
scented 10 the passage of o bill that
( they knew to be unconstitutional.
They defeated meand put that 9th.
or man in the White House."
"Why," we answered, "did you
not take the oath of Office at New
York? You could have acted as
President there. If Gen. Jackson
had been in your place he would
have gone to Washington"
At these remarks Mr.. Tildeu
r fingered at his nose quietly, then he
threw one leg across the other, anc
after a few seconds contemplation
ne said: "Perhaps / should have
done so, but then we would have
had civil war. Grant was ordering
troops to Washington"
t1hat was but an impudent rnen
ace" we said. "Grant would Eav'
counted without his host should ht
have dared TO use troops against thu
choice Of a majority of the people,
against a man who was elected
President by a majority of tire,
millions of the white voters Of thi
country, Joined in Mr.. Weed.
"WOuld it not have been bette
to have risked civil war; Mr.. Til
den was asked, ethan to have bOwet
to such humiliation and disgrace p
"Perhaps So" said Mr.. Tilden
"but / am not to blame. The PEG
pie should not have suffered it. Tn
people suffered it. The persona
wrong to me is of little importance
1t is the wrench, the violence to on
system of popular government, tina
is grievous. The people should no
have stood it."

THE New York Herald, COM
menting on the fact that none ofthe
stalwart statesmen have responded
to the invitation of the Republicans
of Louisiana to go down to that
State and make speeches during the
present canvass, asks: "What is
the matter? Can 1T be true that the
Republican chiefs are nursing the
solid south for next year? Do they
want Louisiana togo Democratic, so
as to use her as an example and
awful warming in 1880? 1t looks
very much as though that was their.
purpose; but do they imagine the
American people are set of fools,
or that they do not read the news
papers?"

What Memphi. Has Lost.

The Memphis Appeal declares
that in two years that city has lost
nearly eight millions of dollars and
buried six thousand of her people.
Filthy cutters, bad drainage and ac-
cumulated garbage, it claims, were
the cause of il all. The Appeal now
pleads for such method of purifica-
ton by fire, drainage, fumigation,
street paving and the most vigorous
enforcement of the well-ascertained
laws of health as shall insure the
city against a recurrence of the cpl
demic. Otherwise Memphis is
threatened with decay, if not ex-
