4 NATIONAL CURRENCY THe BEST.

NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST.
In speech in the Senate in 1887,
John c. Calhoun said:
at appears to ME, after bcstowing
the best reflection | can give no sub
iect, that no convertible paper-that
is, paper whose credit rests on a
promise to PAYS suitable for cur
rency. Bank paper is cheap to those
who make it, but dear, very dear, to
those who use it. On the other
hand, "a national curr=nc7, while it
would greatly facilitate its financial
operation, would cost nothing or next
to nothing, and would, of course,
add much TO the cost of production,
which would give to every branch of
our industries great advantages both
at home and abroad. And | now
undertake to affirm without the least
fear | can be answered, that paper
issued by the government with a
simple promise to receive it for all
dues would form d perfect paper cir
culatiOD which could not be abused
by the government that it would
bt. as uniform in value as the metals
themselves; and ! shall be able to
p:ove that it is within the constitn-
ton and lowers of congress to use
such a paper according to the moEt
rlgid rule of constituting the constitu-
ton" (tf.)

every mistake his enemy makes, but
he always lays his own plans as if
the enemy would act wisely and

they might have been able to make

They might have been able to devise
some methods that would have fooled
reformers, and divide them among

future, they will try. SO instead of
resting on our oars, let US push OF,
the fight with renewed energy, back

demand. Let us watch, work and
pray. Eternal vigileEce is the price
of liberty. The Lord helps those

SPEECH MAKING AND REFORM L!TERk
TURE

We have been forced for the last
week or two to decline "a number of
pressing invitations to speak to large
gatherings. Our friends must not
be displeased with us, for we are
doing all that our ability will COM
mand. and our strength will permit.
We have labored increasingly both
on the stump, and through the col
umns of the paper for the advance
ment of the reform movement, and
will cont hue to do 80 until the vic
tory is won. But my friends allow
me to remind you, that the paper is
more important just now than speech
making. With twenty thousand sub
scribers | can do ten times as much
good, as if | were to speak every day
for the next two years. Remember
that every voter either reads some
paper, or is influenced by somebody
who does read. The impression or
good effect of the most powerful and
eloquent reform speech ever made is
soon dissipated and destroyed if
those who hear it, do not read or
continue to read nothing but parti-
sans papers, that have for their sole
object TO blind, deceive, and mislead
the people. Besides one or more new
phase of the fight are developed ev-
cry week, about which the people
should, and must be correctly in
formed. The only way to make the
reform succeed by speech making, is
for the same (or some other good
speaker to speak to the same audi
ence every week; especially is this
true now while congress is in session.
But that is impossible, and too ex-
pensive if it were possible. But the
same resul can be accomplished
through the columns of an honest
live paper. THE CAUCASIAN gives
the true situation every week as the
fight proceeds. No man can stay on
the stump much Of his time and
properly edit paper that will care
fully present the situation every week.
l will 60 and make speeches when
ever possibly can without neglect
ing the paper. But if you will put
The CAUCASIAN in one hundred
more homes in your county, you
have done more good for the cause of
truth, justice, and reform than if
you had gathered a big meeting and
had the best speakers in the State to
talk for you. So let me urge you
all, whether YOU have public speak
ing or not, to lose no opportunity.
and to spare no effort to get THE
CAUCASIAN Cor some other good pa
per that will tell the TRUTH into the
hands of every voter in your section
Do this and the victory is won. (tf.1

An Announcements Made by the Bra

PARIS, Sept. 14.-The Brazilian dele
gate in this city announces that he has
received an official dispatch from Rio,
dated p, M, YESTERDAY, saying there
is no truth in the report that the in
surgent war ships succeeded in leaving
the bay of Rio; that last evening they
bombarded the town of Nitcheroy. The
dispatch does not tell the result. The
message adds that the capital and state
OF Rio Janeiro are loyal to the govern
ment, and that the garrison at Rio
has resisted all the attempts the
rebels made at landing; that the garri-
son can be counted upon to repulse
any attack by land, by sailors from the
war ships; that the land forces, the
army and the. national guard, are
ready to defend it and are unanimous
in condemning the revolt. The dele
gate, in giving the dispatch to the
Associated Press, pointed out the fact
that it does not mention the lombard
ment of Rio, and expressed the belief
that the city had not been fired on.
~ A later dispatch says the garrison at
Nitcheroy succeeded in repulsing the
attempt by the rebels to land in it's
neighborhood; that the garrison is
loyal. and can be counted on to beat of

THE BUCkEYn oAmpAIeN.
Lawrence r. Neal Fires . Broadside q
McKinleyism.

McIxinleyism.
NEWARK, o., Sept. 14.-Hon. Law
renee 7. Neal, the Democratic candidate
for governor Of Ohio, against Hon. Will
liam Mckinley, opened the Democratic
campaign here this afternoon in the
presence Of large and enthusiastic
gathering of Democrats of this section
of the state. After referring to the ex-
listing financial depression, the speaker
declared the Mckinley and Sherman
laws were the cause of the trouble. He
said the Democratic party was pledged
in favor of bimetallism aud the repeal
OF the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act. He declared McKinleyism the
greatest foe of the prosperity of the peo.
pie. Mckinley protection means tax
tion favoring the rich. For several
years the government receipts exceeded
the expenditures 00.000,000. The
burden falls on the poor people. He
declared the agricultural interest was
the principal victim OF protection. In
1860 the farmers owned almost half the
property in the country; now they own
less than one-quarter. The difference
measures the farmers loss and the man
ufacturers' gain. The defeat of the
Republican party in Ohio will affirm
the judgment the people OF the entire
country entered at the presidential cleo
tion last year. and will be the final de-
cieion OF the American people.
The speaker appealed to the people to
vote for the Democracy, the party of the
people; the guardian angel OF their
rights and liberties, and thus secure
the obstruction of the monopolists and
unjust taxation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.--Open war be
gan in the house today. Partisan hos.
tilities were inaugurated over the Tucker
bill to repeal the existing federal elec.
tion laws. 1t became apparent at the
outset that the Republican members
would fight'the proposition TO repeal the
existing election laws to the bitter end,
Burrows of Michigan led in the filibus.
tering movement. He declared, in jus
tiication OF his course, that measure
SO sweeping aa the Tucker bill. driving
the national government out of the
states and leaving no one on guard at
the polls to prevent fraud and corruption
in congressional and presidential cleo
tions, should have no status in the house
until the Democrats produced their OVID
quorum.
Furthermore the leaders declare, once
it gets into the arena of debate, they
will resist its passage with every ex.
pedient known to parliamentary law.
In the filibustering fight today they
demonstrated their ability to block mat
ters and deadlock the house until
quorum OF Democratic members il pro-
duced. By their actions and words to-
day it is understood they are in desper-
ate earnest, and the present election
laws will only be repealed after q hard
fought, exciting and bitterly contested
struggle. They won first blood today
by forcing the passage of q resolution
revoking all leaves of absence and sum.
moning absentess by telegraph to Wash
ington.
Some administration Democrats, led
by General Tracey of New York, know
ing the White House opposition to the
present consideration of this bill or any
other bill in the house which may COM
plicate the fight in the senate for the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law, acted with the Republicans today.
This angered the silver Democrats in
the houA5. especially the southern men,
who are particularly interested in the
passage of the Tucker bill beyond any
other measure. 1t is claimed tonight
that the president did not countenance
this course on the part of some of his
recognized lieutenants in the house. If
this is true they will probably be
promptly called off. and their position
in the future, rejecting that of the ad-
ministration, will show change of sem
timent at the other end of the avenue.

LONDON, Sept. 14-It is now admitted
here that the news exclusively cabied
to the Associated press of the proposed
bombardment of Rio Janeiro, and the
fact that the forts are in sympathy with
the insurgents, is correct in every par
ticular. The points Of the Associated
Press story cabled back to this country
are extensively used. The attack on the
forts, as already reported, began at 8
O'Clock and the garrison of the largest
and strongest fort at once declared for
the rebels. The bombardment OF the
city began at IL O'Clock. The town has
a desolate appearance, only those who
cannot get away remaining. All bust
ness is at standstill. The air is full
of alarming rumors. The merchants ol
London have similar news. The ad.

Minister Thompson Confirms the News
of the Bombardmspt.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-Secretary
Gresham has received the following dis
patch from Minister Thompson at Rio
cat 11o'clock this (W Wednesday) morn
ing the revolutionary forces bombarded
the forts commanding the entrance to
the harbor; also the arsenal on the
wharf in the center of the city. A few
shells were fred into the city. One
woman was killed. Commercial tele-
grams are forbidden. The cruiser
Charleston has not yet arrived"
This Dispatch practically disposes of
the hopes OF the navy department that
the cruiser Charleston has reached
Rio. 1t is now believed that che
went direct to Montevidio without
touching at any Brazilian port.
The telegram from Minister Thomp-
son was eagetly read by all who knew Of
it's arrival in both the state and navy de-
partments, and the belief was expressed
that the engagement may be fierce
and determined one. While the minis
ter makes no meption of it, it is pre-
eumed the Brazilian government is
taking active measures to repulse the
insurgents.
The greatest source of anxiety among
the officials is that there is no vessel of
the United States in the harbor at Rio
to protect the lives and property of
American citizens in the bombarded
city. The last hopes of the navy de-
partment that the cruiser Charleston
had stopped at Rio on her way from
Barbados to the Pacific station were
blasted today when dispatch from her
commander reported her arrival at
Mcntevideo, Uruguay. She will coal at
Montevideo, which will take a day.
She will then proceed to Rio, and 40 tho
distance is 1850 miles, the vessel will
make it in about three days and half.

COMMITTEES REPORTS.
why tho Federal Election Laws Should
Be Wiped Ont.

Be Wiped Out.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.--The majority
report of the committee on the bill re-
pealing the federal election laws de-
clares that the purpose and object for
which these laws were passed have long
passed away. Surely no officer Of tho
army or navy should be left to deter
mine when it Is necessary to bring
troops to the polls, and the constitution
as implicitly prohibited it.
With reference to those laws relating
to the appointments, duties and cofnpo-
sition of supervisors of election and
deputy marshals. the report goes into
the constitutionality of the laws which
were passed under warrant of the 'seop
tion OF the constitution prescribing
elections, and says: "The object OF
legislation should be TO prevent conflicts
between state and federal authority. The
conditions they were designed to meet
have happily passed away, and We feel
they cannot be too quickly erased from
the statute books. Let every trace of
reconstruction leeislation be wiped from
the books. Let the states understand
that the elections are in their own
hands, and if there be fraud, coercion or
force, they alone will suffer by it. Re-
spending to the demand for purity in
elections, many states have enacted
laws to protect and purify the ballot"
The report concludes that these
statutes should be speedily repealed
because they mix state and federal au-
thority; because they have been and
will be used as part of the machinery OF
a political party to forward friends and
destroy enemies becauee under them
the rights of citizens have been taken
from them; because their enact
ment shows distrust of the states
and their ability to guard
elections and last because their repeal
will eliminate the judiciary from this
political arena, and restore somewhat
the confidence of the people in tie in
tegrity and impartiality OF the federal
judiciary.
Johnson of North Dakota, goes at length
into the constitutionality OF these laws !;
draws q picture of the conditions exist
ing prior to their enactment in 1869,
from the report prepared then by Con-
gressman Lawrence OF Ohio, and the
condition OF affairs after their enact
ment, from a report OF the late sSun.
set" Cox, in 1877.
1t is remarkable that the minority
report does not even allude to the
effects OF the election laws in ths
South. This. Johnson says, is in ac'
cordance with the policy OF the Repub.
licans not to raise the ''bloody shirt
cry. They cay If it ia raised, it will
be by the other side.
