Hon. Fred f. White. Democratic can
didate for Governor of Iowa. said the 9th
err day, what we complain of is that
the dollar Of to-day buys altogether too
much" The first time that We ever
heard that expression was from the lips
Of the late Colonel J.. l.. Polk, of North
Carolina, who had more TO do than any
other man, living or dead, with the or
ganization Of the Populst party. 1t is
our belief that the expression was origi-
nal with Colonel Polk. He contended
that the purchasing power of the dollar
was too great, because it bought too much
labor for the price paid and bought too
much of the farmers cotton. although
it required as many drops OF the farm
ers sweat to produce a pound Of cotton
when the price was ten cents as it did
when the price was twenty cents.
Mr.. Polk did not care so much for free
silver. His hobby was the bonded ware
house and an unlimited issue Of green
backs. Democrats laughed at him then
but now they are adopting his express
sions as their own. How long will II be
before they adopt his views also?

which no man may safely prophesy.
We do not believe that Mr.. Bryan Is

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.

In his address before the Confederate
veterans at Nashville some time ago.
Judge John H.Reagan. the sole survivor
of the jefferson Davis Cabinet took oc-
casion 10 say that there was no founda-
ton for the statement that at the Hamp
ton Roads Conference President Lincoln
proposed TO Vice-President stephens. Of
the COnfederacy, that the United States
would pay $4OOOOO,OO0 for the Southern
slaves II the Confederates would abandon
the war and return to the Union.
We mentioned soon after the address
was delivered that a correspondent Of
one of the Nashville papers had taken
issue with Judge Reagan. and had as
serted positively that Mr.. Lincoln did
make such proposition.
Judge Reagon has now replied to his
critic, and again asserts most positively
that no such offer was made. In sup
port Of his claims. he cites from volume
2. pages COP. COS and 600, OF Mr.. stephens
history and other authorities. and
adds:
These quotations showed that with
these views Mr.. Lincoln could not have
offered $780, 100000 to secure peace. and
that he could not have said to Mr.. Ste
phens. as has also been stated: ALLOW
me TO write Union at the bottom of
sheet Of paper and you may write what
ever terms you please above it, Mr.
Stephens never said such an effort was
made. and is announced as authority for
statements in direct conflict With what
he says did occur in the Hampton Roads
