The advocates and admirers of John
Sherman's financial policy cite the fact
that the number of failures during the
first half of 1879 have been much less
than for the same period Of the previ.
GUS year and for a much smaller
amount, as an evidence that the
country is entering upon a new era of
prosperity, and they give credit for it
to that financial policy that has driven
so many of the best business men into
bankruptcy and ruin. There is q large
portion of the laboring and wealth
producing class OF the people who are
unable to see the evidences of the boast
ed prosperity, and who don't adopt the
conclusions of the John Sherman
school Of "honest money" advocates.
II the entire debtor class of the country
had been driven into bankruptcy and
irretrievable ruin by the financial pol
icy that has swamped so large . por-
ton of them, it would hardly be ex-
pected that the first six months, or
even the first six years thereafter,
would show as large list of financial
disasters and wrecks as prior thereto,
and that fact would hardly be taken as
an evidence of returning prosperity.

The Republicans assert that the
moonshiners can now cheat tire Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau with impunity
because the Government has no money
with which to pay Marshals to pursue
and suppress them. But they fail to
make known the fact that Congress
voted ample means for that purpose,
but because they would not provide
means to pay Supervisors and Mar.
shals for running elections in the in
terest of the Republican party Mr..
Hayes vetoed the, bill and thus de-
feated the appropriation of money TO
pay the marshals for legitimate SER
vices. ,ssf

We copy on the first page of this
Issue liberal extracts from the report
of the Glover investigating Commit
tee and hope our readers will not treat
it as the Republican papers declare the
President and Secretary Sherman pur-
pose doing that is, pass it by without
reading. A perusal oft can hardly
fail to convince any one that there has
been q vast amount of rottenDess con.
nected with the management of the
Treasury Department, and that many
OF the officers have feathered their
nests handsomely by their pilferings
from the peoples moneys.
