SECRETARY SHERMAN measured the Dem
ocratic leaders accurately last night when
he intimated that they would shout for
either hard money or soft III order to win
success. Their object is to divide the Re-
publican party; and if they can cajole men
from its ranks by pretending to be Green
hackers they will do it. They are sure of
tho Solid South, and if they can secure few
Northern Sta es by dividing the Republicans
they can continue to control Congress
capture the Presidency and carry into prae-
tice their dogma of State Rights and other
pernicious schemes. In pursuance of this
plan, we see Portland Democrats who are
directors of national banks and holders of
stock therein, who have professed to be
hard-money men all their lives, seek an
alliance with the Greenbackers and pretend
to support a debasement of the coinage, to
make war upon the banks, and to favor the
payment of the National debt in irredeema-
bic paper money.
The Portland daily press., 1879-07-24

Ir does very well to talk about increasing
the coin debt and coin interest, but as paper
is interconvertible with coin where is the
greater burden? Does it not cost as much
labor or service or goods to get paper dollar
as toget gold one?
The Portland daily press., 1879-07-24

The Greenbackers talk about the great
interest-burden. DO they know that the
tax on whiskey and tobacco is more than
enough to pay the entire interest on the
public debt? We will not do them the in
justice to assume that their complaint arises
from desire to abolish that tax.

Messrs. WEEKS & POTTER: Gentlemen,-We have
a case of Leprosy in our poorhouse which is being
cured by your CUTIcURA remedies. The county had
employed all of our doctors and had sent to New
York for advice, but to no avail.
The patient commenced using the CUTICURA and
Immediately began getting better
He had been confined to his bed for two and one
half years. Had not had his clothes on during this
time. Last week he dressed for the first time
When he walked there would be at least one quart
of scales come off of him.
This happened every day.
We think it is wonderful cure.
We do not say he is cured, but he is in fair way
to be cured to say the least. Yours truly

others.

L have thus stated my view of t&e successful
execution of the policy of resumption and of
the beneficial results in the reduction of inter
est on the public debt and the general improve
ment of business.
OPPONENTS TO RESUMPTION.
Now let us examine the specific complaints
opposed to resumption and to the entire tinan-
cial policy of the Republican party.
OF what do they complain?
First they said resumption would contract
the currency; that we would have nothing but
coin in circulation. This 1 have shown to be
entirely delusive. The resumption act pre-
vided for no contraction of the currency but
the United States notes were to be retired only
as greater amount of bank notes were issued.
The only contraction that has occurred since
the passage of the resumption act has been by
the voluntary withdrawal by national banks of
portion of their circulation when they found
it could not be profitably employed in business.
Every act done under the resumption act
tended to increase rather than diminish circu-
laton; and now that all this circulation is at par
with gold, the coin itself becomes an important
factor in the volume of circulation, and swellS
the amount that is available for the transaction
of business.
The amount of coin and currency in circula.
ton the 1st inst was as follows:
United States notes ............... S346, ,GS1 O1G
Fractional currency ................ 15,S42, ,6O5
Certlncates. l7,SSO,65O
Bank notes. .................... go. 329;691 ,697
Total ...... . ....... 71O,O95, ,968
Coin, estimated. 49,, ,44S, ,947
The Portland daily press., 1879-07-24

I accepted the invitation of your distinguish
ed Senator to speak in the State of Maine du
ring my brief vacation from official duties
mainly that 1 might present to you the mod,
by which, in spite of much opposition, United
and some reasons why these notes ought here
after to be redeemed in coin at the demand O
the holder, instead of being, as formerly, IRE
deemable, deprecated, and dishonored. YoJ
will naturally expect me, as public officer, t,
speak mainly on this and kindred financia
topics connected with my official duties.
But before doing 20, permit me to say tha
there are questions involved in our poIitica
contest this fall more important than those o
hard money or soft money, greenbacks o
bank-noteS
The Portland daily press., 1879-07-24

While Congress reduced the reven ues and
increased appropriations, it neither levied new
taxes nor gave authority to borrow money to
meet these extraordinary demands, but used
the sinking fund which was specifically set
aside by law for the reduction of the public
debt; thus arresting the established policy of
the Republican party of yearly reducing the
debt
In the last session it appropriated $26, 100000
Tor arrears OF pensions, debts due most worthy
class of citizens, but provided no means for
their payment. 1t applied for this purpose the
fund in the Treasury for the redemption of
fractional currency, leaving this form of debt
to be paid out of current revenue. Fortunate
ly the increase of revenue caused by resump-
tion and reviving industries will, | hope, ena-
bic the Treasury to pay every dollar appropri-
ated for arrears of pensions by the 1st of January
next, without any other increase of the public
debt than that caused by the temporary appi-
cation of the iund for the redemption of frac-
tional currency. The ability to pay these de-
mands is largely due to economies effected in
collecting the customs duties and other execu-
tive savings.
RESULTS OF RESUMPTION.
Let us now see what have been the legiti-
mate results of resumption.
Since the 1St of January, and prior to the 1st
OF July, 1879, we have paid about 81 100000
coin certificates 18th United States notes, and
have paid $119,501, ,109.93 United States bonds
with United States notes. OF the enormous
sum of called bonds paid by the Treasury, so
far as is known, not dollar has been demanded
in coin, and thus by resumption we have paid,
and are paying daily, the five-twenty aud ten
forty bonds in currency.
Prior to definite preparations for resumption,
it was impossible to sell per cent. bonds of
the United States at par in coin. After such
preparations we were able to sell in 1877, Sl5-
000,0C0 four per cents, and in 1878, S12S,6S5,-
450; but the moment that resumption was COM
plete, the sale of bonds increased with unex-
pected rapidity We sold in the month of Jan
