EDITOR PREss.-The Cincinnati En-
quirer is endeavoring to make scapital out
Of the many Bankruptcies occurring in our
country by blamsing these hard times on
the contraction of the Currency in 1866,
and the vicious financial legislation, in
GLIDING the Resumption lAct. But we
think the Enquirer is leaning over to pol.
itical gush rather than to sound logic, for
reason that follow.
When the late Civil War came on, the
government was holy unpEepared fox
war, and in order to supply itself, a new
market was opened up; and as the Law Of
supply and demand CONTROLS the prices;
the government being new purchaser in
the market prices advanced right along in
almost every article conceiveable, hence,
the producer, the mechanic, the manufac.
turer, the merchant, and in fact cever class
of artisans were so encouraged by the close
Of the war in 1865, in selling the wares and
produce at isuch enormous prices, that all
classes contracted large debts compared to
their actual capital, and that all classes
had learned to live fast, i. Q. they must have
expensive houses to live in, they must have
expensive Organs and Pianoes, costly
watches. fine carriages, finer clothias than
ever before, these and many other things
being purely ornamental and therefore re-
turning no usury, and up to 1873 these
high prices continued with but little change
when Jay Cook & Co., Bankers of New
York were compelled 10 close, shaking the
great nonsy eeHters all over the United
States. And from that date down to tbs
present time, the prices of produce and
manufactured wares have steadily declined
as every one knows, hence the logical con-
clusion is, that 1t is impossible to pay debts
contracted at such prices, when prices are
so unpaying asnow. We ss people have
learned to live up more than our means,
expenditures more than our income, these
are points easily seen by an observing
mind. then why should Congress, be blam.
ed for contraction and resumption. W.

JOHN SHERMAN.

John Sherman, who is in Cleveland
to-day, is now on "the top of the heap"
with his own party. But let him
mark this prediction. The time will
come when the American people will
consider Benedict Arnold white wing
ed angel compared to him. He is here
on a sorrowful errant. But the broth
er whom he came to bury, died in
affluent circumstances. Does John
Sherman stop in his sorrow to think
ofthe misery, the mourning and the
utter helplessness now existing in
thousands of families all over this
broad land of ours? Does he give a
thought to the prediction he made in
the Senate ten yers ago, that resump-
ton could only accomplish by the
"sorest distress?" Let the man who
laughs when his deed ofevil is accomp
lished in this, the hour of his sorrow,
consider the bankrupt men, the wild.
ows and orphans created by the starv
ing husbands, the people who have
lost their houses and their all, the toll
ers who know not where the next crusi
of bread shall come from in this land
OF plenty, and may the Christening rod
that will reach him, as it will all NOR
tai beings, remind him of his treason
to his country, and lead him to be-
come a better, a more honest man. -
