A GOOD MEMORY.

A "Democrat" veteran with good
memory writes to the Philadelphia
Times as follows: Il see by your indie
pendent journal that good many Re-
publicans are going to vote for Hancock,
and his election is sure. We have heard
the same thing on two occasions before
namely, Mcclellan and Greeley but
when the time came for voting they all
fell into line, the same as they will
again for Garfield, and voted the Repub-
lican ticket. And the Grand Army of
the Republic are going to vote for Han
cock! Why, do the people believe this i?
! hope not. Why. the first thing the
Democratic party did was to discharge
every member of our order and put reb-
els in their places. Where? some one
will ask. Why in the House and Sen
ate of the United States. Do the Dem
ocrats think we have forgotten so soon
No, nor are we blind to their real inten-
tions, with the name of Gen. Hancock
to help them through. We do not want
our pensions reduced and the rebels pen
stoned. and, for these reasons, ninety
out of every hundred Grand Army men
and soldiers will vote against the Dem.
ocratic party. Although we love Han.
cock, who is good, honest soldier. We
will when the time comes, cast our votes
for our comrades, Generals Garfield anc
Arthur, and don't you forget il"

REPUBLICAN RUIN.

The Democratic orators and editors
are trying to make out that the Repub-
licans have ruined the country. Yes
and this is the way it was done:
In 1860, after twenty years of Demo-
cratic rule, government six per cent.
bond sold for eighty-nine cents.
In 1880, after twenty years of Repubh-
can rule, government four per cent
bond sells for $1.OS.
In 1860, after twenty years of Demo-
cratic rule, loan of $l8, OO0, 900 exhaust
ed the market for six months.
At the end of twenty Of Republican
rule, a loan of $3.50, ZOO, 900 was taken in
a single day.
In twenty years of Republican rule we
| find
An increase of population of fifty pei
| cent.
An increase of general agricultural ex.
ports of 600 per cent.
An increase in exports of bread anG
breadstuffs of $50 per cent.
An increase of exports of manufactur
ed articles of 225 per cent.
An increase of internal commerce O.
| 700 per cent.

1t may be thought presumption, but
if the people of Maine understand their
own interests, as l think they do, they
certainly will retain. if possible, Mr..
Hamlin at his present post in the SEN
ate. We may have greater men, but
none truer than he, none of more dis
cernment, none of greater courage and
fidelity, never sick, he is always at his
post of duty. His long experience in
Washington renders his services to those
of his constituents who have business at
the departments, of the greatest value
He knows how to ask favors, and how
to demand them, and his wishes are al
ways respected. If he makes promise
you can rely upon its ful6llment. But
these are not the highest considerations
which should demand his retention.

statesmen who have since taken on their

The New York Economist says that
at no period of the history of the nation

labor because all are in active operation.

wages will buy as much of the necessa-

WASHINGTON LETTER.


SPECIAL coRRRsPoNDRECE OF THE MONITOR.
WASHINGTON, August 8, 1880.
Judging from the opinions expressed
here there is no question but that Gen.
Hancock's letter of acceptance took the
Democrats completely by surprise, and
was bitter disappointment to many.
That he should take SO long to tell them
so little is beyond their comprehension.
One rumor has it that the delay was
caused by the difficulty experienced in
keeping English within prudential
bounds. 1t is the general opinion here
that the letter will strengthen the Re-
publican campaign. Of English's letter,
little can be said. 1t is a Democratic
TRADE of the lower order.
The great and so much talked oil
Hancock letter to Gen. Sherman has
made its appearance. Whether anthem
tic or not is not known. Contrary t.
the usual Interpretation of the Constitu
ton, Gen. Hancock then held that tn,
Presidential term expired on the thire
of March, and if the President was no
inaugurated till the fourth or fifth, al
interegnum must occur; and he appar
emily sounds Gen. Sherman remindin,
him of the great responsibility tina
would rest upon him in such case. ant
hints very strongly that in his opinion
Tilden was elected and inaugurated
The letter altogether sounds very mucl
like the argument which Cassius use
to Brutus when urging the assassination
of Caesar. But it secured his nomina
ton for the Presidency.

The Plow and the Press.
We envy not the prineely man,

We envy not the princely man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Turn up the hill or down.
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet his heaps of gold;
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth twice told
We are the favored ones of earth:
We breathe pure air each morn;
We sow, we reap the golden grain,
We gather in the corn.
We toll, we live on what we earn,
And more than this we do
We hear of starving millions round,
And gladly feed them, too.
The lawyer lives on princely fees,
Yet drags weary life,
He never knows peaceful hour,
His atmosphere is strife.
A merchant thumbs his yardstick DER,
Grows haggard at his toll;
He's not the man God made him for,
Why don't he till the soil?
The doctor plods through storm and rain
Plods at his patients will,
When dead and gone, he plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer-bless his noble soul!
He grasps the mighty earth,
And stamps it on our daily sheet,
To cheer the laborer's hearth.
We sing the honor of the Plow,
And honor to the Press
Two noble instruments OF toll,
Each with power TO bless.
The bone, the nerve of this fast age,
True wealth of human kind
One tills the ever faithful Earth,
The other tills the Mind.

Cooperation is prime necessity
in this world of fierce capacities. A
man can get along, after a fashion,
by himself, but when his neighbor
stands beside him in common bond
they are to each other tower of
strength. Men ought to band to-
gether to do what is right. and, if
necessary to secure their rights.
