And Still They Come.

The Dexter correspondent of the Bangor
Wing and Courier sends that paper the fol-
lowing account of changes in that sec
ton from the greenback and democratic par
ties into the honest money party
| hear of three democrats in the town of
Charleston, who have uncquivocally cut
loose from the old party, and avow their de
termination to vote for Davis. This is not
an idle runner, but comes straight from the
men themselves. They say they have be-
come tired and sick of the way the party is
being and for sometime has been managed.
The fact is, the republican party is the only
party in this State, that can be supported by
men of self-respect.
Ripley was one of the strong grecnback
strong-holds last year Within day or two
one of the republicans who voted that way
last year, and labored with effort for the in
crease of the greenback vote, but who some
time ago cut loose from the whole drive and
again connected himself with the republicans
says it is his candid opinion that the MAORI
" of the republicans who went with the
ereenbackers last year. will be in the repub-
lican liscs again at the September election
! hear of man, last year a greenbacker
in neighboring town, who was very active
in spreading the new gospel among the peo-
pie lie says he has seen his mistake, and
declares he will labor with every greenback-
er that he had any talk with last year, and do
what he can to redeem himself
| know of two democrats in this town, that
have lately identified themselves with the re-
publicans, and who will vote for corporal"
Davis this fall They don't take pains to get
upon the house-tops and proclaim their inten-
ton, but have made up their minds as ind-
Gated above.
And have just heard of another green
hacker here, who was very prominent in the
campaign last year, gentleman who does his
own thinking, and who, have every reason
to believe, acts from principle In political
matters, as he does in all others. He is q
man who has influence among those with
whom he associates he never slops over and
whatever opinions he may entertain. his fell
low citizens understand that he is moved by
honest intentions, and can but regard him
with respect. Whether he will vote for Davis
or not, can't say; but he declares that he
will not be "a tail for the democratic kite. "
Those who know the man understand that
this remark has special application to the
democratic-free-rum candidates that the
greenback party of Penobscot county last
year elevated to office. This gentleman is
doubtless the one to whom the Commercial :
correspondent referred, in his letter published
in Thursdays issue. The one to whom he
thought | had reference in one of my prcv-
Gus letters, is another man altogether. 1t
appears that the greenbackers who went into
that party from among the republicans year
ago, from honest principles, are about all OF
them who are now left in that party, getting
to be decidedly shaky in their belief in the
soundness of the greenback party, if not OF

res,enber, Daniel +. Davis was taken prison
cr al sycamore Church at the time when his
brother Stephen and many others were captur-

He remained with his regiment and was trans

correction, my letter. written from memory,
after the lapse OF fifteen years, is correct.

Honest Money Rally.
WEST VAUDEVILLE, July Nth, 1879

WEST NATERviLLE, july l4th 1917.
To the Editor of the KenneJee Journal:
One of the first (if not the first) republic
can rallies in Maine since the opening of the
present campaign was held here last Friday
evening. The cause of honest money was
ably and thoroughly advocated by II. NJ
Heath, Esq, of your city, republican candi-
date for coAnty attorney, who for one and
one-half hours held the closest attention of
his audience. Mr. II. was no stranger to us,
for he made one of the best political speeches
last year that was given in our village, and
his audience last Friday evening was com
posed Of the best of our citizens, of all par
ties. He most successfully exploded many
Of the grecnback bubbles, and if the meeting
does not result in bringing back to the republ-
can fold some of the wandering sheep, then
your correspondent will insist that argument
has lost its convincing power When Mr.
Heath took up the point which many green
back speakers make so prominent--that if
the government bonds should be paid in
greenbacks, he said. "Hcw will it make bust
ness any better? How will it affect business
any way? prominent greenbacker spoke
out, "Take up what bonds there are in West
Watervlle, and we will show you." Said
Mr.. Heath in reply '''Take up what bonds
there are in this town, and in crery town.
and do you suppose you can d,ire men
to invest their money in business now,
when there is SO slight return! Why,
Won seem to think that government
bonds are all there are. Let me
assure you that most any other bonds pay bet
ter returns than do the present government
bonds. There are state, county, city, town
and railroad bonds, and do you think, my
friend, that people who seek good investments
will throw all these aside and ego into bust
ness" Later in his speech, Mr.. II. was
speaking of another greenback theory
having the customs Of the country paid in
greenbacks. He said Russia, one of the
largest, most oopulous empires upon earth
with mighty army to enforce any edict, a
country owning every gold mine within its
domain, had Just that kind of currency, and
of the currency remaining at par. it had sunk
to sixty cents on the dollar, and is still sink
ing. The same greenbaGker who interrupted
before asked the privilege of q question,
which Mr.. II. at once granted. Was the Rus
sian paper dollar issued at par, as the green
back platform proposes? Answered Mr.. H.,
at was: but instead of its remaining there
it has, as have stated, deprecated more than
onethird." And if the Gar, with his unlim-
tied power cannot keep the currency of his
nation al par with gold, how could we? 1t
was most torciblc and convincing illustra-
ton.
The republicans are more than pleased
with their first rally. The speaker was ill.,
troduced by DIR. NJ. ID. Johnson, and the West
Waterville cornet band was in attendance.

Decrease Of the National Debt and
Annual Interest.

The greenback organs and speakers cir
culate the falsehood that there has been no
decrease of the national debt, but on the
contrary an increase of it.
To follow them up and correct all their
miscellaneous would be an endless task
but the falsehood above mentioned is east
ly corrected and so important that it ought
To be done
The national debt less cash in the treas
ury stood Aug. 81, 1865, at 81, 756, 49,
57l.43.
On the first day of the present month,
the debt less cash in the treasury was
1896, 4,905.03.
The decrease of the public debt then
since August 1865, has been S76o, 0l6,6 &c.,
40-a reduction of more than % per cent.
of the total debt rs il stood when at the
highest point.
The reduction OF the principal of the
national debt rs above shown, together
with the reduction of the rate of interest
by the funding operations of the govern
ment, has made great reduction in the
annual interest charge.
The interest paid on the public debt in
1865 was $50, 977 ,G97.s
The interest charge on the debt for 1879
is SS3, 3,778. 50,-a reduction of the an
nual interest charge from that of 1865 of
SCI, 203, 9l9.37.
Take the sum which is saved to the gov
eminent yearly by the reduction of the in
terest charge, put it at interest. and in a
few years the accumulation alone would
be sufficient to pay every dollar of the
principal of the national debt.
The increase of population also comes
in as an important factor to aid in less
ening the burden of the debt to each per-
son in the country.
In 1865 the principal of the debt per
capita was 1929. In 1879 it is but $40
AZ, a reduction of nearly one-half
In 1868 the annual interest charge per
capita was 1929; in 1879 it is but 81 So
These few brief items tell the whole
story of the reduction of the national debt
and the expense of interest annually.
They show how false are the statements
of greenback organs and speakers that
the national debt has been increased. For
a month or two past there has been a
slight increase of the debt as compared
with the amount during the preceding
months, but for the year there has been a
steady and satisfactory decrease of the
principal and large decrease of the
annual interest expense.

from official sources, and can he depended

Under an old Virginia law marriage
between whites and blacks is prohibited,
and violation is punishable by impris-
onment in the penitentiary. To escape
the penalty of this law couple recently
went to Washington and got married.
there being no law there to prevent the
inter-marriage of the races. On their
return to Virginia they we're tried and
imprisoned in the penitentiary. This
brought out quite discussion on the
subject of "miscegenation," and one of
the Southern Africo-American papers
says the colored people are not opposed
to the enforcement of such laws if they
are only so amended as to be consistent.
This paper suggests that if it is crimi-
nal offense for white man to marry a
black woman, the law should make it a
much greater offense for white man to
become father to black women's children
In the State of Virginia where the laws
are made by white men for the benefit
of white men, long experience has shown
that it is not inter marriage between the
races that is mixing their blood. Surely
the superior white man will not refuse
to make the just amendment to their
law that has beeu suggested by the black
man.
