postmasters a. Political Agents.

The exposure of the scheme to convert
postmasters into local political spies for
the benefit of the party of the admins
tEation promptly arrested public atten-
tion and compelled n change in the plan
of operations. The scandal was immedi-
ately apparent, and the exposure has been
of great service. X Il 1t seems, how.
ever, that exposure and renlonstranco
have not prevented the issue of the cir
culars. y = 1t is putting the service
into politics in manner which fouts and
defies the presidents warning, and it dis
credits and ridicules his public declara-
tions. = It seems to us that the
head of the administration is bound to
nacertain the facts, and if they are as al
legged to show in the most public and un-
mistakable manner his disapproval. ST.
lence and inaction can be interpreted by
the subordinate officers of the administra-
ton in one way only. II an assistant Sec
retary of the treasury can engage in this
kind of campaign work without censure,
and with implied approval, every post
master and subordinate officer in the
country is justified in believing not only
that he may do likewise, but the more
zealously the better.-Harper's Weekly.

That western Republican will he
nominated and elected president of the
United States.
That every Democratic federal office
holder in the country, good and bad, will

That the lesson, though dear one, will
be worth all it costs the Democratic

That no Democrat can be found in the

warrant, who will acknowledge that he
was ever Mugwump.
That the school of experience teaches q
very dear lesson, but fools will learn in no

A New York merchant, who does an ex-
tensive business in Cuba, had been entertain
ing wealthy citizen Of Havana for several
days. On recent Sunday the Cuban and
his wife were to sail for home. At the last
moment, the merchant thought it would be
the proper thing to send some flowers to his
departing friends on board the ship. So he
hastily dispatched an Office boy to a florists
to purchase some flowers. 'Get about S25
worth, and will leave the selection to you" )"
were his instructions to the boy, after telling
why he wanted the flowers. He then accom-
panied his friend to the steamer, and just as
"all ashore" was cried, the Office boy rushed
up the gangplank carrying two broken col
umns-one bore the inscription: "Wemourn

expected bank expansion began. brit ~.

expected bank expansion began, but VIA
soon checked by the heroic remedy
OF lO per cent. tax on all issues except
those of national banks. 1t ended the old
system at once and forever, and as soon
as the people saw the improvement theJ
were so delighted with 1t that they have
never allowed any politician to raise the
question as to whether the 10 per cent.
tax was constitutional. One solitary
Democrat, from state which was sup.
posed to belong politically to his family,
did challenge the act and suggest return
to state banks, but there was such sud-
den, unanimous and tremendous kick.
even from his own little borough, that he
hastily dropped the subject, and now,
probably, not one young voter in ten
knows that there is such tax. Indeed.
we suspect that search warrant would
be necessary to find a Democrat who win
admit that he ever was in favor of state
banks.
After the greenbacks came the national
banking law; and while many men took
part in framing it, three are entitled to
special credit: John Sherman, Ira Harris,
of New York, and Samuel Hooper, of
Massachusetts,. The last two gentlemen
have not received the credit they deserve
for their ability and industry in shaping
the financial legislation of the war. An
other congressma9 whose services during
the constructive era have been obscured,
is Hon. Samuel Shellabarger, of Ohio,
whose clear legal mind and wonderful
ability in exactness of statement were in
valuable when the hasty legislation of the
war period had to be deliberately revised
and amended. When we consider that in
the very heat and fury of the greatest war
of modern times, Republican statesmen
revolutionized the whole financial system
and out Of chaos evolved stable cur
rency and the best banking system in the
world, we may well wonder that they
made SO few mistakes. Some crude and
hasty legislation there was, of course, and
much loss and embarrassment to indi-
viduals in making such vast changes in SO
short time; but look at the grand re-
suit: In 1860 the traveller had to sschange
bills" from state to state; in 1880 the
American paper dollar was at par in
.very state, and almost every nation, and
by almosteverybody preferred for conve.
nience to gold.

When the Republican party came into
bower the national government \ ad sunk
to very nearly its lowest point, morally,
financially and physically. Public opinion
In Washington was so thoroughly de-
bauchcd that men openly debated whether
they should violate their oaths and be-
tray their country, or merely remain
"neutral;'' army and navy were
scattered and paralyzed; the .administra-
tion was falling to pieces from mere
rottenness, and public credit was so poor
that the secretary of the treasury an
nounced that he could borrow at high
interest and a big discount if some of
the states would guarantee the bondsi
Imagine state guaranteeing United
States bonds now! AS well ask tramp
to indorse the Vanderbilts' note.
Before the party went out of power the
credit of the government was the highest
in the world; there were not in all the
land 100 men willing to say that they
wanted disunion; slavery was abolished,
the national wealth trebled, wages 30 per
cent. higher and nine -tenths of the neces-
saries of life cheaper, and in place of the
wretched, fluctuating and uncertain stuff

"This is an old story" says the Mug
wump. Well, may be so; but its a mighty
good one. However, it is we'll at this
time to recall few half forgotten facts
which are, of Importance just now.
Young voters are all the time coming to
che front, and while they know all the
main facts about Grant and Sherman,
Lincoln, Sumner and Thad. Stevens,
the great war governors and the able
administrators, the new voters should
be reminded from time to time that be-
hind those were able and patriotic men
working in quiet in committee rooms, and
constructing solid systems of finance and
revenue, which are the glory of the coun-
try and admiration of the world. AS the
national money, the tariff and internal
revenue are again in issue, the young Re-
publican is invited to study the work of
such patriots as E. G. Spalding, Samuel
Hooper, Ira Harris, Samuel Shellabarger,
Owen Lovejoy and other congressman
who labored in conjunction with sher-
man, Stevens and other prominent men.
At the close of the war the Confederate
historian, Pollard, wrote: ssThe longe.
purse and the stronger battalions have
won the day;'' and there is much truth in
the reference to the purse, as all historians
recognize that the great strength of the
Union and the weakness of the Confeder-
acy was in their respective management
of the finances.
1t is SO much q habit of mind to look
on the present good as if 1t had always
existed, that the older men ought to ex-
plain to the young men that this good
money they enjoy is comparatively new
thing But can the old system be fully
explained? Mere words fail to tell how
very bad it was.

That the coming struggle will be vig-
orous one is certain, but the Republican
party has every reason to enter upon it
with cheerfulness and resolution. The
questions of national and state policy
pending are such as to inspire unusual in
terest, and the Republican attitude in re-
gard to them can hardly fail to command
the approval of intelligent and patriotic
citizens who will take the trouble Of
ridding themselves Of partisan bias land and
prejudice. The contest is to be fought
out with the aid of brains and reflection,
and if these shall be brought into full
reauisition there need exist no fear as to
the result.-Troy Times.

then Grandpa Jones and the rest have

likely to meet with the approval of the

The logical conclusion cannot be avoided.
A trust, if kept at home, by protective
tariff, can be regulated by law. But il
the gates of American commerce are
opened wide, this country will be at the
mercy of dealers living in foreign coun-
tries, beyond the controlling power Of
courts and legislatures. The possibility
of the existence of trust compels the
continuance of the safeguard against its
power.-New York Press.
