The New York World, April /, says:

1t ID we'll known that subscribers to the
per cent loan had ninety days In Which to
complete their subscriptions. They could
take out their per cent bonds from the treas
ury In advance Of the maturity Of their sub
scription by paying for them or by depositing
other United States bonds as security. All
earlier issues OF United States bonds are re-
ceived on deposit by the treasury at par, and
per cents at 95. Now, the deposit OF bonds
depository bank, because 1t received interest
for the money advanced to the owner OF the
borrowed bonds during the whole time for
which they were borrowed. This has been
the common practice, and the rate OF interest
for ninety days on governments has been,
together with the commission allowed by
the treasury, the consideration which
decided whether bank could subscribe for
per cents at profit or not. Whenever, there
FORE a bank has paid for 4 per cents In advance
of the maturity OF subscription it has adopted
the more expensive Of the two methods OF
taking out the bonds. In other words, it
threw away certain and immediate profit;
and 1t is OF the essence OF all business that
men only throw away profit OF this sort In
expectation OF a larger profit, to which this
very rejection shall contribute. The calcula-
ton In this case Is evident; the premature
payment into the treasury Of the money re-
ceived from sale OF the per cents would
raise the rate Of interest, and SO bring profit
to those who kept control Of their own money.
And the event mas proved the calculation
sound one. It Is time, however, that the
Treasury should be instructed to prevent this
kind OF intelligent operation, and for this
reason the suggestions above made are sub
mitted, not only to our financial readers, but
to the influential people In Washington.

A MEAN ATTACK.
OF EAST coKINrH.

The Argus has no shame and no in
telligence. Last week it allowed some
low-born scoundrel to attack the Young
Brothers Of Hiram, in this County, sim
ply for the purpose Of making political
capital. One Of Mr. Noung's vorkmen
insul,ed him and was discharged. and
this fellow, through the Irya, claimed he
was discharged because he would vote the
Greeuback ticket. Mr., Young is well
known in this County. and though one Of
our soundest Republicans, he would treat
no man wrongfully, for holding political
principles differing from his own.
The fact of the case Is. some men have
listened 20 the TRADES of communi>;ic
orators until they believe they are head
and shoulders above their employers in
honesty, intelligence, and importance.
When such a one attacks his employer
with impudent language, and receives a
discharge for his pains, he feels that he
has been shamefulIy abused. The man
only got his deserts. We publish the
communication to the 4g.s. and Mr..
Young's reply in the Press.

lS56 AND ISIS.

Every Democratic Greenbacker dates
his comparisons from the year lsjG, the
last year of Democratic rule in this State,
As an Arab reckOns from the llegira.
Well, how did the Democrats get along
the last year of their rule? They received
and turned into the Treasury for general
State purposes the sum of s94 900 from
the sale of the public lands, which they
now say were all sold or given away by
the Republicans they sold and turned IN
s.. 500 of stock OF the Augusta Bank
owned by the State; and they increased
the bonded debt of the State in the sum Of
81. 600 in time of profound peace, with
no unusual demands on the Treasury.
That was Democratic llnanciering.
No wonder they could get along with
tax of two mills on the dollar. 4 rate of
four mills is necessary now. Why? Be-
cause one mill on the valuation is levied
especially for the common schools. That
was not done in 1856. Then it takes two
mills of taxation now to pay the war debt
and interest, for which the democratic
party are clearly responsible. If 1t were
not for these items, the common schools,
and the war debt, the rate OF State TAXA
ton need not be more than one mill on the
dollar-or one half what it was in 1885,

CHRIST AND GREENBACKISM.

Mr.. EdtOr.
Dear Sir.-I had the pleasure, or rather
displeasure, OF listening TO lecture deliy-
cred few days since In the Town Hall at
Andover Corner, by Col. Strawn, OF Illinois.
In his lecture he made the statement that
the Greenback party might be compared u
Christ upon the cross crucifled between two
thieves indicating that the Republican and
Democratic parties were going to be des-
troyed, while the Greenback party was
coming out of the difficulty all right and
be the bright and shining party forever.
Now this is downright blasphemy right
In the face and eyes OF crucihed Saviour.
Not only advocating principles, which, il
carried out, must destroy and plunge the
most beautiful nation that ever the gloriou.
sun has shone upon in utter ruin, and give
it a disgraced name in history, but CON-
pairing the Greenback party to Christ. bias.
phemlng the holy name OF God, who hold,
our breath in His hands, who has the power
To create all these things, and who has the
power to destroy both soul and body in
hell. Yea, His name is basphemed by thi,
Greenback orator. OH Such traitors.
Traitors To God and to their country. 1t
is enough to make the blood tiugle to the
very ends Of the fingers, of a true Amgr-
can, 20 listen To such oratory-
1t is possible for the Devil to appear a,
an Angel Of Light, but GreenbackiSm looks
more To me like the Devil in his blacklist
robe than As an Angel Of Light. Reader
look ut this glorious country, look At the
political parties, look at their leaders look
at your own heart and look 10 God, then no
the nearest right possible. d. 7. T.

DIR RRADBURY,S CARD.

Three days before election, the fusion
candidate for Representative in the Norway
district finds it necessary to inform his
neighbors, through the public press, that
he is a Grecnbacker No wonder, when it
is remembered that he has not resigned his
position As chairman of the Republican
town committee, helped to organize the
Republican campaign club only month
since-and still further, when at meeting
composed of three persons he proposed to
do all he could for the Republicans in con-
sideration that one certain personal favor
be granted him. After all his statements,
are we now sure of his foundation or that
he has any. The Republican candidate
does not feel called upon to inform his
neighbors among whom he has lived for
years two weeks after his nomination as to
what party he belongs.

THOSE ISLANDS.

A democratic campaign circular Is being
distributed, which charges that the expense
OF selling State islands on our coast, was
at one time sl,050.99, and another 800
more than the amount received for them.
To which correspondent of the Augusta
Journal replies by calling attention to the
Land Agents and Treasurer's reports,
from which it appears that the receipts at
both auction sales were Sl,476.65, and the
whole expenses were sl,343.35. On ac-
count OF mistakes in the titles, the legisla-
ture subsequently refunded to occupants
s53S.l7 Total cost TO the State above re-
ceipts, s4O4.S7, instead of sl,7j0.99, as
charged in the campaign circular.
The islands, as we have already explained,
had never been considered of sufficient
value to pay for hunting up the titles and
selling them. This was done by order OF
the Legislature of lS76-not because any
income was expected Of them-but rs a
duty that the State owed to her people.
The islands were sold by auction for all
they would bring. The mistake in selling
islands that the State did not own, was
one of those errors which have heretofore
arisen in spite of the utmost care. Whether
it cost Gov. Connor and Council more than
it ought to, 10 have the titles and condition
of the islands examined, we have no means
of knowing; but we are very sure that they
pursued the course that they supposed to be
just and wise. To charge that the tran
saction was Il Job, or cheat, is simply to
cndeavor to injure the reputation Of good
men to obtain few votcs.-LelcistoH

An illustration Of the inconsistency
of the Observation-Disclosures Reform, Poor
Mans. Democratic party is to be found
in the nominations of candidates in this
state. \ fresh case in point, Is the nom
nation of Nr. Moses Chesley of Oxford,
as a candidate for Representative TO the
Legislature. Mr. Chesley Is worth about
$50. OOO. 90, which he loans to his neigh
bors at high, not to say exorbitant rates
of interest. When we begin to have a
division Of property, Mr.. Chesley will be
a first-claSs man to start with.
Hon. Enoch Foster, jr., of Bethel,
is man who worthily represents the
Republican party He is not a candidate
for any office, this year, but seeing the
party was in danger of defeat, he has
taken the stump and spoken every day
for four weeks. 1t is seldom a man feels
interest enough in his party to make 50
great a sacrifice as this unless he has a
personal interest at stake. His services
will be remembered by our people, in the
future, as they find an occasion TO reward
him.
Mr.. Whitman of Norway, who
writes all the Democratic articles which
appear in the argus from this county,
saws there is a man in the eastern part of
the county who is buying voters for the
Republican party. If Mr.. Whitman
knows Of any such case it is his duty to
apply the law and have the party pun
ished. If there are men in the Demo
cratic and Greenback parties whose votes
can be purchased, Whitman should be
glad to get rid of such unreliable mate
rial. We do not believe the charge, how
ever, but declare that the writer is ma
ligning his own party.
Hon. John d. Long of Boston, a
native of Buckfeld, in this county, has
done us some good service by making a
few speeches, during the past week. He
gave us all the time he had to spare, and
where he spoke, he was heartily received.
His candid words had good effect, as the
vote will show in the towns which he
visited. Mr.. Long Is candidate fol
Governor of Massachusetts,. We should
feel flush of pride to know that Oxford
County had sent out man who had
grown large enough to govern his mother
State. and one who could so well perform
the duties of executive as Mr.. Long.
