money. Enough must be obtained
for unavoidable expenditures +; but az
ter that is done, let retrenchment and
reduction of taxation be the order Of
the day. AL useless offices should
be abolished all redundant salaries
should be cut down. The south
should put its foot upon all corrupt
jobbery it should not tolerate a lob
by; let it provide for every interest
aud enact laws to promote every in
dustry, and then clothe the executive
with the necessary authority and
means TO enforce them.
Our revenue laws, our tariff laws,
and our shipping laws must be re-
formed; not in a sectional nor parti-
san spirit not wholly with a view to
either free trade or protection; but in
such way as shall benefit the whole
country, so that agriculture shall be
more productive and remunerative,
manufacturing more extended, labor
better employed, foreign markets
multiplied, and the cost of reaching
and returning from them lessened.
These things constitute the present
necessities and the most urgent de-
mands of the nation. They rise above
and press out of view financial and
presidential policies, and if they are
rightly and skillfully legislated for by
the democracy, the false issues raised
by the republican party against the
south will speedily disappear forever.

of the spring, and by midsummer all
that has been attained in our midst
was projected and commenced. An
inspection of the files of this paper
will show that before M. Y. Duncan
joined the greenback club, and GER
tainly before the sa~lutatory of the
Press was issued, a revival of bust
hess and building was noticed and
commended In them, and the ''go-
slows and croakers'' rebuked.
There is also as much of mis-state-
ment and exaggeration in the second
and last extracts as in the first. 1t
was only on the last day of October
that the treasury officially stated that
the increase of bank notes during the
past year had been only S11,484, 582,
and these with the silver emitted by
the treasury constituted the only pos
sible addition to the money in circu-
lation since the bullion piled up in
the vaults of the treasury and banks !;
so long as it remains there initiates
the currency as little as it did before
it left the mines. Of this the editor
of the Press seems to be fully aware,
as he taunts the democracy with the
assertion, ''your gold is not in cir
culation, and only twelve millions of
your silver has been paid OUT
We have no desire to exaggerate the
i'll effects of the statements of the
Press. We remember that its clrcu-
lation is small, and that, therefore, it
is not much cfa power for either good
or evil, and yet Is far as it reaches it
misdirects and misInforms. Its par
tisan spirit is very apparent, for
neither when it complained of con-
traction that was not taking place, or
boosted an initiation vastly oyer-esti-
mated, could its editor refrain from
casting unmerited slurs at the democ-
racy.

The Question of the Day
What Shall we do to be
SaYedS

The question that now agitates the
minds of the members of the defunct
G. B. party, is, "What shall we do
to be sayed?" Our party is dead !;
our leaders are sick times are get
ting easier; we have no show for
office :; we have reviled the Democrat
ic party IN such q way that we even
have not the cheek to ask for admis-
sian to its ranks again. What shall
we do? We can't be Republicans ;
we can't go back to our old party !;
our leader gives some of the court
house men fits for once being Wings
and now being Democrats. There is
no use to go 10 him for advice for he,
by his own actions, knows not what
to do. Boys, the only thing to do
is to acknowledge you made q mis-
take and act like men.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1879-11-13
CONGRESS-.

When congress assemblies, as it
shortly will, it is to be hoped that its
southern members will assert item
selves. The time has come when the
majority of the democrats sent to the
national legislature should assume
the position that pertains to the great
err number. In almost every possible
manner southern democrats have
yielded to northern democrats, and
what is the result? What else could it
be than that the south is not held re-
sponsible for its W policies, but for
those Of northern democrats in con.
gress? The democratic battle cannot
be fought in this way. The solid
south must show its hand, and then
the issue it shall make can be square
ly maintained Or repelled.
In speaking these words we do not
counsel either rash or extreme action.
1t requires certainly no deep pene-
tration into the condition of this
country, and especially the northern
portion of it, TO understand that it is
in no humor to tolerate either rash
ness or ~radicalism. The country is
emerging from a o of deep and
continued depression, and will stand
nothing that is the least calculated,
much less designed, to check its new
born prosperity. One thing however,
is self-evident-it is impossible for a
prosperity to be of long duration that
depends wholly upon ability to gather
up the gold and silver of the world and
transfer it to u golfers. 1t has been
indeed, a happy thing for this coun-
try that In its time of utmost need
good crops at hone and poor ones
abroad have enabled it to secure a
solid basis of financial strength, but
commerce, industry, and above all,
agriculture. demand a full, free and
lucrative interchange OF their com
modities for the productions Of other
nations as the only means by which
their capabilities can be developed
and increased. Our shipping interest
needs attention. Our manufactures
need wider markets in which to sell
at more remuneratlng prices. They
need too, the privilege of buying raw
materials where they q he secured
at the cheapest rates of both cost and
transportation. OF course we shall
need import duties to meet the ma
tional debt interest, and provide for
the payment of its principal. There
are also other legitimate demands for

Gen. Grant was ro~tten-egged at
Galesburg, Ill.-some rufians throw
ing at him as he stepped on the plat
form at the depot. Grant was, Of
course, very indignant, bat said he
did not blame Galesburg, that there
were rullians everywhere. The Day
or of Galesburg offers $500 reward to
find the man that hit Grant. Such
ruflianism is A disgrace to any COM
munity and if it had occurred in Mis-
souri, instead of in Grants own state,
the radical press would have been
happy.

WHAT NEXT ?

The campaigns of the fall are all
over; and yet, unless the election
laws are set aside by the courts, the
false issues raised by the leaders of the
Republican party will remain to be
fought yer and over again in con-
gless and before the people. 1t will
not do to say that the Democratic
party ought to ignore them, because
they are false and unfounded. A
large proportion of the northern peo-
pie evidently believe the contrary.
They have been alarmed by the shak-
ing of the 'bloody Shirt and some
thing must be done to re-assure them.
The north cannot desire that the vast
and fair territory occupied by south
ern whites should be delivered over
to negroes, to retrograde until it
becomes a second San Domingo on a
grander and o calamitous scale.
The north will not insist upon the
south's doing what it would not, and
certainly it would never surrender to
an inferior race that portion of our
fathers inheritance which it inhabits.
Northern people understand also, that
neither national nor state laws can
be executed by the blacks even ifthey
were disposed to enforce them, which
unfortunately they are not and that
both christianity and civilization de-
mand that the responsibilities of main
tanning and advancing them shall be
committed to white men and white wo-
men Neither is the north concerned
about the social status of the blacks.
No negro, no matter how highly edu-
Gated nor how strong politically at
home, has ever had the unquestioned
entree Of Washington society, and
it would be impossible to turn a cold
er shoulder any where to colored en-
igration than has been exhibited this
year in Kansas.
What then, does the north demand
of the south That it should get
upon its knees, confess q criminal in
tent against the union, and beg par
don, as has been sarcastically sug-
gested ? Not at ALL 1t seeks TO be
assured that there has not been since
reconstruction, and that there will
not be in the near or distant future,
effort either to upset or escape from
the terms of it. Let the south there
fore, henceforth do all that 1t can
consistently to impart that assurance.
1t cannot however, surrender either
its political faith or Its demand for
elections free from either civil or mill
tary interference that claim cannot
be given up without disgrace to the
entire nation. Its right to be solidly
democratic is Us good as that of the
north to be solidly republican, and
so long as the north is liable to be
deceived by the bloody Shirt it
ought to exhibit a compact front to
the usurpations that rags symbolizes !;
but at the same time it ought also to
do all in its power, without degrade
ton, to re-assure the north that it
has no intention itself to take the
ballot away unconstItutionally or fore
IDLY from any lawful voter, be he
black or white, and to certify to it;
that the south will submit to what
ever action congress may see fit to
adopt, until it shall be relieved, should
it consider that action adverse to its
interests, by the judiciary or by the
sentiment of the nation expressed
through the ballot box.
