The greenbackers who are indignant ut
the sale of their party TO the ring which
controlled the Portland convention, appear
TO have settled upon the plan of repudiat-
ing the platform adopted, and voting for
Joseph l.. Smith and the regular fusion
ticket just the same. This plan if adopt.

the protesting greenbackers are concerned
What do the ring" care about the repu

however, the dissenters would carry their
opposition to fusion TO its logical results,

and make clean ticket of their own run
ming squarely through on the anti-fusion
line, they would make their opposition to
the tricksters of their party practical and

Showing up Fusion and the Fu-
sion Platform.

Chases Chronicle this week is more bitter
the Portland convention and the platform
adopted. The ring that ran the convention
it denominates 1.-THE office-holders and Office
seekers ring" One article upon this sub
ject occupies five and one-half columns in
the paper The following in regard to the
Inconsistencies and contradictions of the
platform is rather tough logic for the fusion
lists to meet.
Weak as is the platform in the statements
of the reforms demanded in behalf of labor,
its Inconsistencies and contradictions are still
more glaring and reprehensible. How men
claiming intelligence and common under
standing of the principles of finance, could
have betrayed SO much ignorance and stu
pdity in single effort is difficult to compre-
hend There is no method OF point in the
construction Of the platform as whole or
its separate planks; or even sentences.
platform to be an ineligible compendium of
party principles ought to be logical in its
statements and construction. Truth is one
of the essentials of logic and method, and
this is even wanting in the present case.
Again, why should the farce of denouncng
COIN lfittTtst anu yum JULIUS Nht'i ihto oiit
part of the platform while in another the I'M
limited coinage of gold ard silver is demand
ed as the monetary system to be supplement-
ed by full legal tender paper? If paper
money and gold and silver are equally legal
tender, what difference can there be to the
creditor in the payment of the principal or
interest of the bonds in the one or other? And
if the volume of money is not to wary with
the chance production of the ''prccious met
ais or the drafts of bullion made by other
countries, is it not clear that the volume must
be maintained by the issue of legal tenders?
What is the difference then between legal
tender paper and legal tender coin! Is not
the paper just as good as coin? And if just
as good, why make that which is necessity,
supplemental to that whose volume and com
mercial value are always on the ebb and flow
Had the motion to transfer the head and
tail of the dog rs a whole, also included the
transfer of the head and tail of the money
plank, the platform would have been some
less Objectionable: had the plank read, that
we demand full legal tender paper money
in volume to meet all needs of trade to be
supplemented by the unlimited coinage of gold
and silver; and had the head been put on the
right end and the tail where it belonged, then
the dose would not have been so utterly OBJ
noxiNis as to make it impossible for green
hackers to swallow it. 1t was this transposi-
ton of head and tail that it was desired
should be made. 1t was this that the ring
was determined should not be done. 1t was
this that the ring was told would be fought
outside the convention if it was not allowed
to be considered inside of it. Upon the ring
rests the responsibility for the revolt and this
denunciation of its adoption of the democrat
ic financial doctrine into the platform of the
greenback party.

this life, yet happiness in the land that is very

thought centers on self and what he shall get
for self is like the earth revolving on its own
axis. The man whose thought reaches away
from self is like the same earth sweeping on
in a majestic orbit whose center is in the far

Usefulness is eyed as an important and for
living. No man ought to think of living for
himself. He is either a burden or help in
society. He ought to be a help. What
names are the hOnored names in the annals of
time? The names of many conquercr are
written in letters of blood, and are pro-

Words Of Wisdom.
From Zion's Herald

Political parties, like rivers, have an up
per and under current. The former is va
riable, affected by outward incidents, and
flows sometimes in one direction and some
times in another; the latteris steady and re-
sistless in its course towards the sea. No one
knows the stream who has not penetrated
to this neither current. We American peo-
pie are now watching the eddies and flood
wood on the streams of political life. For
the moment we seem to have forgotten the
deep Inducements that must ultimately
control all these surface movements. On
the surface all parties are much alike.
The waters are often turbid, fouled by the
acts of bad men who find their way to the
best of parties. Their affairs are often adj
ninistered by unwise men. In looking at
them, men are apt to see only this surface
arrangement; but this view can never in
sure a sound judgment in the case. To
know a political party you must know
its deep trend, its inner and abiding
principles, its ultimate tendency and
purpose which are sure to control and
subordinate all its other activities and
agencies. That there are bad
and good men in both the great parties,
no one doubts that is an incident of all
human government that no new departure
can change. But in Judging Of the value
Of parties you need to go step back OF
this and inquire for the controlling princi-
pies that animate these parties. The par
ty that stands for liberty, for equal rights
for the purity of the family, of the com.
monwealth, for the defence of the poor
for the suppression of vice, the protection
OF property. the encouragement of indus
try by securing its fruits by Just laws ant
sound money, is the party that will ulti
mately prevail over all its opposers.
you would be on the winning side, be sure
to stand on justice and truth. The heav
ems may fall. but those pillars of the eter
nal throne will endure when sun and starr
vanish in smoke. The party that venture
TO oppose liberty and justice will b,
dragged like Achilles, at the chariot wheels
OF its ever-triumphing opponent RICH
endows the weakest with infinite strength
wrong reduces the strongest to the mos
helpless weakness. "The weakness o
God is stronger than men,"

ers, of Nos. 4l2-30 South Thirteenth
street, Philadelphia. This firm, f)r the
past ten or twelve years have been deal
Ing extensively with the Wilmington
morocco manufacturers, their purchases
averaging yearly $4,000 a year. OF
course their failure affects the morocco
men of this city, and from a careful in
inquiry it is learned that all are more or
involved with the exception of four, viz:
John Taylor, &. +. Fritz 81 Co., James
Bonner and Baedenkopf& & Co. The total
amount the liabilities of the insolvent
firm in this city is about $1,000, aud is
distributed in amounts ranging from
S2000down, the smallest creditor being the
John q. Baker Manufacturing Company
whose clam is SAL. 1t is said the firm
will be able to pay fifty cents on the dol
lar, but one of the Wilmington creditors
stated that he would willingly dispose OF
his claims at the rate of thirty cents.
