A REPENTANT DEMOCRAT.

Hugh Lewis, one-armed soldier,
who has been an alder, abbettor, &C.
cessory and accomplice, for and to the
democratic party since and during the
war, and who has held one position
and another under and through demo
cratic influence, came out In the State
Journal, June 5, with a letter renounc-
ing his allegiance to the democratic
party. Lewis, IN his letter, gives as
one Of the many reasons of his change
of heart that ''Ve see appointed to
high offices, drunkards, social if not
criminal outcasts and participators in
election butcheries and fraud; enemies
Of fair and free elections; enemies of
our benefcent public school system;
former and present enemies of the
union-men uncleansed Of treason, IN
repentant, unreconstructed and with
their disabilities Upon them. Can sol
diers who left limbs upon the battle
field, stand these things? Can they
condone and indorse them? If there
be any such, | am not of them. I
want no more democracy upon my
plate. [ fought hard to get the pre-
sent administration in, and [ shall fight
still harder to get them out. They
are not the men to rule the country in
this day of enlightenment and pro-
gress. -
Again he says: "Look at the vast
system of blackmail and perjury in
augurated by the acknowledgement.
Were afidavits for political purposes,
against friends and neighbors, ever
heard of before? Were men ever be-
fore libeled and slandered at wholesale
by agents of the government? Was
there ever time when so many dis
reputable appointments had to be
reversed to satisfy public opinion?
Was there ever before time when it
was a political crime for nan to at
tend caucus and vote or speak his
party convictions"
Hugh Lewis evidently means what
he says, and he is only one of the many
thousands who have become disgust ed
with the namby-pamby style of the
democratic reformers" who so sud
denly and unexpectedly got control Of
the government. Four years of such
rule will SO completely disgust al
thinking democrats that the admins
tration will not have body guarc
lett in 1888. -Wausau Central.

FOUR YEARS AND OUT.

The following is extracted from an
editorial from a straight out democratic
paper, whose editor is not afraid to
publish his honest convictions-.Capt.
s. B. McIntire-in the Houston
(Minn. )Signal;
The democratic party to-day, is
weaker both in members and pluck,
than at any time since the defeat of
Horace Greeley for president, while on
the other hand, the republican party
is correspondingly stronger than at
any time since General Grant vacated
the White House.
The democratic party is all at sea;
wallOwing about in the dark. 1t has
no sound policy; no heart, no head
The republican party united, filled
with shreWd leaders; fixed purpose
before them, and toward which they
are bending all their efforts, and with
the brightest prospects Of success.
With keen perceptibilities they are
quick to take advantage Of the lifeIess
and dovetailed policy Of the present
administration, and while seeming to
approve, and admire the same, it is only
for the purpose Of tangling up more
completely the administration in order
while thus entangled, they may work
with more ease and greater celebrity to
undermine it, and in 1883 sweep il
from power.
The recent loss, in Illinois, of a
state representative in district,
democratic by large majority, is but
one evidence Of the early demoraliza-
ton and apathy of the democratic
party. while on the other hand, il
demonstrates the republican party is
wide awake. and determined to con
test, in the future, every inch Of
ground in the political field The
tactics used may be questionable, but
they soon become purified in the light
Of precedent and victory.
We predict the official season is SC
far advanced, that the democratic
seed hereafter Sown will not insure a
democratic harvest, this fall, IN New
York. That state will then go re,
publican, as also will Ohio and by a
majority that will surprise even the
adherents and admirers of Reform.
All the doubtful states, that hold elec,
tons this fall, will go republican, and
the first great victory viii be scored
against the democratic party. and its
''party killer" Reform, victory Sc
complete, future elections cannot over
come, but sweeping on from fall to fall
1883 will again land the republican
party in power, showing under Civi
Service Reform, forever, and perhaps
the heretofore stubborn and tenacious
democracy

He probably meant what he said and
taking the four propositions contained
in the quotation, he was three-fourths
correct, a larger per cent. than is con-
tanned in the philosophy of most men
Of his time.
Stephen Colwell, in ''Ways and
Means of Payment, a more modern
and reliable authority, says: money
is in no proper sense a measure Of value,
neither is it sign or representative of
value.
The Earl of Liverpool, in his elaborate
'.Treatise on the Coins of the Realm, "
thus sums up the imperfections of coin
as a measure of value: ''Coins are an
imperfect measure of value because
they fuctuate in value even when made
of one metal only.
If money is measure of value, you
can demonstrate it easily by very
simply test. If you want box of
strawberries or a peck of Bermuda
onions, do not ask the grocer the value
of them, but open your purse, take
