NUMBER 30.

{ five years, the special champion of "hard
money" 1t opposed the issue of green
backs" during the war; it demanded Il
return to specie payments at the close Of
the war, and continued to demand such
return until after the passage of the re-
sumption act of 1875. It's leading men
held the issue to be unconstitutional
when it was made, and all the Democrat
ic members of the Supreme Court held
the act under which greenbacks were Is
sued 10 be unconstitutional and the policy
to be dangerous, when the illegal tender
case was finally decided
Fourth-The business of the country
is unquestionably rcviying under the IN
fuence of an unfuctuating standard Of
value, and medium Of payments brought
back by the present parity between paper
and coin. SO long as that standard and
medium is maintained, no one fears to
invest capital and embark in enterprise.
But if we are to break down resumption,
millions of capital will be boarded by the
timid for safety and millions more will bc
withdrawn from productive industry 10 be
used in the gambling spcculations Of the
gold room, which will begin as soon as
the margin between paper Is rcopcncd by
the depreciation which is sure TO follow
new issue of grccnback currency
Fitth-The doctrine that Government
should issue all the currency of the com
try, is not true democratic doctrine. 1t
was foisted on the party in this State. in
1878, by political trimmers, who thought
to take advantage of the temporary dis
tress of the country, and carry themselves
into power at the cost Of sacrificing both
principle and consistency, and proposing
new financial policy directly opposed to
the entire record and all the traditions Of
the party.
Sixth-If this course is persisted in, it
Will result in a split in the national Dem
ocratic party, and its defeat next year.
Thousands of Democrats cannot be IN
duced to support the party Of their choice
if it adopts a policy that they believe
ruinous to the industries of the country.
1t is time to teach party managers TO
study not only what seems to be politi-
cally expedient, but what is right-the
the right is always expedient.
In accepting the presidency of the
Honest Money League of Cleayeland,
do not abandon the principles Of true de-
mocracy, butrcassert and emphasize them.
| hold these principles to be true, in COM
mon | believe, with majority Of the
National Democratic party. | do not
believe it wise even in a party sense, to
abandon correct principles and sacrifice
consistency for the sake Of local and tenn
porary party success, and am sure that
it is not right and patriotic to do it.

\ HARD-MONEY DEMOCRAT.

The President of the Honest Money
League at Cleveland, Ohio, is a Demo
crat who holds to the old financial prin-
ciplcs of his party, and rejects the here
sizes adopted by his fellows there and
elsewhere. When he assumed the chair
of the Cleveland League he made IN adj
dress in which he gave statement OF
what he understood to be Democratic
doctrine in regard to the finances, accom-
panying it by historical sketch Of the
Democracy and its relations to the cur
rency The speech should be read by
those Portland Democrats who pretend
to be hard-money men while they are as
sisting the soft-money cause: though 1t
is not probable that they are moved by
principle or by anything nobler than a
desire to get a share of the spoils of war.
But there are honest Democrats in the
State who will be interested in the fol-
lowing summary of the Cleveland mans
speech:
tirst-Ever, experiment with paper
money issued by any Government except
our present one, has ended in reputation
and general bankruptcy. Our present
greenbacks are an exception only because
of the Limitation of the quantity and the
known intention and ability of the Gov
ernment to redeem them. To exceed the
limit now fixed by law would be a viola
ton of faith and would unquestionably
be followed by repudiation and general
bankruptcy.
Second-From the organization of our
Government till within the last few
years, the policy of currency consisting
of paper issued by authority of Govern
ment, was held in universal abhonence.
No statesman, jurist, or student OF polit-
ical economy of any eminence, can be
quoted in favor of such system. All the
eminent and honored statesmen of our
past history are squarely on the record
against such policy.
Third-The Democratic party was
from its organization until within the past

THE COIN RESERVE.

In his letter of acceptance, Major Smith
says the coin in the treasury should
have been used in payment Of the bonds
recently called and the interest stopped.
Cen ). j. Anderson, in conversation
lately reported, stated he wants ."all idle
money used to reduce the public debt and
stop the interest
pom this suggestion, the Hon. George
+. Talbot comments in the 1rya, a, fol-
lows
This attack upon the reserve Is the
most insidious and dangerous attack. that
has yet been made upon the validity and
credit Of the grccnback 1t attempts TO
take away at once It's meaning and it,
value. Under color of securing the cdi-
ice it is mining at It's foundations. Shy
lock ought to be- good authority upon q
money question, Shakespeare makes him
say:
"lou do take my house, when you 10 take
the prop. That doth sustain my house,
presume Gen. Anderson. who con-
,idcrs the coin reserve in the Treasury
idle money! is in the habit of paving
all his considerable expenditures of mon
cy by giving checks on the bank in which
he keeps a deposit Does he therefore
consider his deposit idle money which
he is using unthriftily; Suppose that,
finding that his checks were always avail
able to pay his bills, that his creditor in
variably accepted them with bows and
thanks, and confidently receipted his ac-
counts without the preliminary caution Of
presenting at the bank, he should con-
clude There, You see ckeck is good
enough currency for me. | will draw out
my deposit and invest it in a yacht or in
a span of horses and a coupe. How
about the checks afterwards : How long
would he find them available to keep on
good terms with the tailor and grocer:
The fact is, he has got only one money,
ard that is his reserve in the bank. He
cannot. without swindling, use his money
and his check, too. The check is an ap-
preparation of his deposit If he has
already appropriated it to the yacht and
the coupe, he cannot afterwards appro-
pirate it to the tailor and grocer. Now,
this is the exact condition Of the United
States Treasury. 1t pays out its checks
its notes. to its creditors, public officers,
contractors, holders of the public debt,
when they choose to accept them, and 1t
has the gold and silver to pay such of the
checks notes as are presented. Il has
not two funds but only one. The notes
are nothing so far as they are not good
10 draw out to the last dollar the coin,
which is kept to pay them with.
Idle money? SO is the blood in live
mans heart idle blood So is the head
which the miller carefully economies in
his fume, watching every leak in his
dam. as he would against thief or a
fire, idle water. So is the hundred dol
lars, which the thrifty farmer cherishes
in his stocking, idle money, whereby he
sells his butter and eggs dearer and buys
his dry goods cheaper all the year round
than his thriftless neighbor, who wasting
his reserves in horse -jockeying or whiskey,
and living from hand to mouth, Is forced
to sell when the market is oyer-stocked,
and buy, when everybody is competing
against him.
Do Major Smith and the Greenback
and Gen. Anderson advise that
