Extract From n Speech Delivered by
Judge Hoke Before the Garfield Club In
Keyser, W. Va.
l had supposed that the logic Of events
had settled the Greenback question. But
there are still some who believe in fat
money.
For all such think the history Of Con-
tinental money ought to be sufficient.
Soon alter the battle at Bunker Hill the
Continental Congress found itself in need
Of money, and as it could not borrow, 1t
resorted to the issue Of paper money,
called Continental currency. This became
necessary, or the struggle for independ-
ence must be abandoned.
The first issue was $1,000, 900, with a
stringent order TO have the same called in
and redeemed before the close OF the year.
The Congress was composed OF hard money
men, aud wanted this issue redeemed in
coin as soon as possible. Instead Of re-
deeming this issue at the end OF the year,
l775, as the act stipulated, the Congress
found itself unable TO pay dollar, and was
compelled to Immediately issue $1,000, GOO
more Of paper money. The necessities Of
the Government continuing, 1t was com.
PEELED, In February, l776, to make third
issue, and the amount this time was S4,-
100000. Some OF the Congress began,
however, to take alarm at this issue, among
whom was Benjamin Franklin, who dep.
recated the issue OF q flood Of irredeema.
But the flush times caused by such q
flood Of paper money seemed to make bet
ter times and high prices, and the Con.
gress could not resist the demand for more
paper money.
Money was plenty, business brisk and
the specie men were silenced by the pop.
ular clamor after "more money" Prices
were high and all business rushed on on
an imitation flood, as ours did during and
at the close OF the late war. The secret
was out. Every body could be made rich
by the Government issuing more paper
money, and on May Q. l776, i issued So
600 900 more. Those who believed In fiat
money now had control Of the Congress.
But law could not keep the value Of Con.
tinental currency up, any more than 1t
could the Greenbacks in lsG4-6. The cur.

as having increased more than forty per
cent. The Boston Journal says: "some-

Col. Wilson, Jake Jackson and the Right
Of Secession.

We have often referred to the fact that
when Col. Wilson was member Of the
convention at Richmond, Va, that passed
the ordinance OF Secession, he failed to
vote yea or nay on that all-important and
supreme issue. When the fate Of the
Union, for the time being, hung trembling
in the balance on the action Of Virginia
Col. Wilson utterly failed to say the word
or do the act that was demanded OF him
by all the considerations that could posi-.
bly, appeal to the heart Of patriot.
One would suppose that after one such
an experience as that-seeing, as he lived
to see, the direful consequences Of Yir.
ginia's mad act Of secession-that he
would have forever afterwards set his face
as II 1t had been flint against all phases Of
the pernicious heresy that led to that mad
act Of Virginia. But so far from this being
the case he went to Charleston, w. Va, as
member Of the convention that framed
the present Bourbon constitution Of this
State pronounced by Judge Ferguson
to be the worst constitution in the Union)
and there and then so far as he could
repeated the folly that was perpre-
trated at Richmond in 1861,
When the convention at Charleston was
celebrating upon the fundamental prin.
ciplas that should be enunciated as the
voice Of the people Of West Virginia in re.
spect to theirrelations to the governmental
the United States, Colonel Wilson, in COM
pany with Jake Jackson, who was also a
member Of the convention, refused to say,
when the question was squarely put, that
"Eray eiiis.n Of he Sae Opes paramount al.
kGanes 10 he government Of he United Sue"
Page l7B Of the journal Of the convention
states that when the Hon, w. 7. Wiley
moved to amend the report Of the Com
mittee Of the Whole on Section IS, which
declared that "the people OF this State
have the inherent, sole and exclusive right
Of regulating the internal government and
police thereof" by the addition OF the fol-
lowing words, "but every citizen OF the
State owes paramount allegiance to the
government Of the United States" Colo
mel Wilson and Jake jackson both voted
against the amendment The yeas and
nays are given on the page referred to,
and any one can verify this reference to
the record.

AMONG the signs Of prosperity is the
heavy cotton crop. 1t is believed to be
larger than that Of last year, which was
s, 757, 1897 bales. The largest crop before
the war was 4,S29, 10 bales-9SS,627 less
than last years. These figures are sui.
ficicnt answer to the old assertion that
slave labor was necessary to the successful
cultivation of cotton. Another notion
which has disappeared since the war was
to the effect that the manufacture of cot
ton was not an expedient and profitable
industry for the Southern States. Statistics
which we published not long ago show
that in South Carolina the business Is
considerable and growing one.

at the close of the year 177s, in spite Of
all the flats, 1t took $40 Continental money
to buy one dollar Of gold.
This was the end OF continental money.
The war lasted longer, but the money
would not 20. Gold and silver took its
place, and 1t died on the hands Of those
who held II. Long after the war with
Great Britain the American Congress felt
ashamed and offered 10 redeem that
money by paying 81 in gold for 500 Con-
tinental money.
1t Is not strange that our fathers, who
lost so much by this money, put clause
in the constitution prohibiting States from
making any thing else than gold and silver
legal tender. The lesson OF the Con.
tinental money ought to be sufficient for
any one disposed to reason. Our Greenback
dollar Is as good as gold, our finances are
in the best condition possible, and our
currency can only be kept sound by o
continuation Of the Republican financial
policy.

This substitute by Mr.. Faulkner was
adopted by vote OF 81 yeas to Z nays,
Jake Jackson and Colonel Wilson voting
for 1t.
On the next day March IA, 1872, Mr..
Wiley moved to amend the report by
adding at the end Of the amendment TO
the l6Lh section offered by Mr.. Faulkner
and adopted the day before, thefollowinG:
1.-THE Government Of the United States,
the offspring Of the peoples own choice,
uninhuenced and unawed, adopted upon
full investigation and mature de.i6era-
ton; completely free In its principles; IN
the distribution OF It's powers uniting Sc
curity with energy, and containing within
itself provision for its own amendment,
has lust claim TO the confidence and sup
port OF this State. Respect for Its author.
ity, compliance with It's laws, acquiescence
| in Its measures, are duties enjoined by the
fundamental mAxims OF true liberty. me
basis OF our political systems is the right
OF the people to make and alter their con-
situations OF Government. But the Con
stitution which at any time exists, till
changed by an explicit and authentic act
OF the whole people, Is sacredly obligatory
upon all. The very idea OF the power and
the right Of the people 10 establish Govern
ment, pre.supposes the duty Of every In
diyidual to obey the established Govern
ment. Therefore, this Stat has no right or
authority TO trithdrd,p from he Government q
Tie United States; and all such pretended right
or authority Of sece,sion is hereby erprssly and
forever discLaimed BY Tie people Of Wet Vtrgtn-
a.
The record shows that in the call Of the
ayes and noes on this declaration both
Colonel Wilson and Jake Jackson voted
No. They declared in effect that the
State Of West Virginia has the right to
secede irem the Union, and thus
they voted to put on record as the voice
Of her people protest against the power
Of the United States Government to coerce
a seeding State.
This is the exact doctrine held by these
men before the war, and by which they
justified the secession ofthe South. Jsmes
Buchanan laid It down in bis last message
to Congress, and all the seeding States
echoed and re.echoed 1t as one by one they
Joined the rebellion. This is the sort Of
allegiance that Colonel Wilson and Jake
Jackson bear to the United States Govern.
ment to-day. With the one in Congress
and the other acting as our ruler in West
Virginia, we will, in the event Of possible
trouble, be well prepared 10 repeat the
folly and madness Of 1861.

THE DEMOCR4rTO CONVENTION

THE OEHOCR1T1C CONF ENIIOR.
The Democratic State convention which
met in ST. Paul Yesterday was composed of
body of intelligent, earnest men. 1t was the
largest Democratic State convention which
has been held in this State for many years,
and the attendance proved the increased in
terest of the party. The business was con
Quoted in an orderly, straight forward man
ner, with the utmost courtesy and harmony
among the delegates. Not little of the
expedition and ease with which the business
was done, was due to the good
fortune of the convention in having so ex-
cellent chairman as Hon. VIM. M. Camp
bell, of Meeker county. He presided with
the utmost fairness, and put the motions so
clearly and 50 intelligently that there was not
the least misunderstanding or confusion re-
garding a single vote. His acceptance
speech, too, was we'll timed and heartily en-
dorsed.
The platform, though brief, is comprehen-
sive and emphatic. The declarations that
there will be no further submission to fraud
in elections and against the third term dogma
are especially decisive and gratifying.
The convention wisely refrained from
hampering the delegation to Cincinnati be-
yond the request that they vote as a unit,
and ten representative Democrats were Sc
leced in whose hands the interests of the
party can safely be trusted. The delegate at
large, P. H. Kelly, Esq, of st. Paul, received
deserved compliment by heiUg cbosen by
acclama5ion. He will make worthy rep
rezentatye to lead the delegation and will
be worthlly sustained by the gentlemen who
represent the respective districts.
Taken altogether, the Convention was On
auspicious one, and demonstrated that the
Democratic party in Minnesota possesses life
and vigor sufficient, at no distant day, to
redeem the State.

THE QUEsTTOE SErrEEn.

If there was doubt as to the Republican
nomination at Chicago, that doubt no longer
sIists. The conventions held on Wedoes.
day and yesterday assure Grant lea,
majority of all the delegates, and the pre-
diction of the GLOBE, made two months
slOce, that formal ballot would not be taken
at Chicago, will be verified.
Grant goes into the convention with the
support of his own State. Senator Logan has
captured Illinois and pat it III his breaches
pocket. He will deliver the delegation from
that State to his master with fidelity and
dispatch.
Grant goes into the convention with q
majority of the delegates from all the States
and will be nominated in obedience to the
wishes of the party he represents. He will
accept the nomination and make the can
vass. But he will be defeated before The
people.
The American people are not yet prepared
to give up the idea of democratic form ot
government. They believe in the right of
the people to govern themselves, and will
fight to maintain that right. They recognize
IN the candidacy of Grant an attempt to sub.
NIT the principles upon which the govern
ment Was founded, and to transform the re.
public into monarchy-not, perhaps. n
hereditary monarchy, bat nevertheless GOV.
erument opposed to republicanism.
The friends of Grant assert that he js
au1IoQs TO bring about reconciliation be-
tween the North and the South. Snch ra.
Cancellation is not needed. The people Of
the two sections are agreed upon all questions
of public policy. If the politicians would
leave them alone there would be no animosi-
ties. The only hatreds that are entertained
are by those who assume 10 represent the
sentiment of the people, but only succeed in
misrepresentiDg it.
Grants admirers insist that dnring bic
foreign tour he has acquired a good deal of
information as to the theory of government.
and wishes to give to the American people
the benefits Of his experience. The oualitv
OF his information may be Judged by the
@F"AJ 40 AoS NePJ Willie aUrOeG. he was
close confdante of Bismarck while in Ger
many, received the attentions of the car of
Russia, was the most favored guest of tina
sultan of Turkey, and in every country on
the face of the globe received his instructions
IN governmental discipline from the most
notorious despots. If their ideas have been
imbibed by Grant, the American people will
have none of him.
Grant will be the nominee at Chicago.
Nothing can prevent the consummetion of
the scheme SO adroitly managed By his lieu
tenants. The die is cast. If it shall an
pear that Blaiue has formidable support
he will be offered the second place on the
ticket. If he refuses the doubtful honor he
will be ignored. This is the long and short
of it.
With Grant as the nominee of the Repab-
lican party for President, the Democr ats
have an easy victory,
