POLITICAL MENTION.


How does resumption work?


BLAINE is right. One officer to three
men in the navy indicates superhuity oI
epaulettes.


ALL Congress has now to TO to brina
prosperity is to give the country plenty Of
greenbaCks.


BLAINE is out of the presidential race
Sherman is now the coming man, whom
'he Eondho.ders trust


EVERY perturbation of the monetary
system of the country tends to the loss and
oppression of labor and the reduction Of
wages.


IHE Shrinkage in values will be in Til.
dons favor in the presidential campaign
'ol next year. He can buy mules cheaper
than in 1876.


The rebellion freed slave labor from the
expressions of slavery but it only caused a
more determined effort to degrade and en-
slave ALL labor, white ond black.


IHE decaying and abandoned atars of
American liberty must be kindled anew
either in the peaceful compensations of
the haiIot-box or in the fires of revolution


ALL nature deals III compensations
Inc wheel OF fortune turns around often
slowly but always surely. The great
Aroiter Of destiny is turning the great
wheel now, and they that are up will be
down by-and'@y, and they that are lowly
now Will bave the highest seats hereafter.
This is eternal Justice.


NE stalwarts are coming on top AGAIN.
1t Twill bcrcmbered that the "man.milIiner"
element in the Republican party defeated
Carpenter in Wisconsin and Chandler in
Michigan six years ago, and Logan in
Illinois later Now Carpenter and Logan
80 back, AMI Chandler is about to shove
chrlstiancy to one side and take his place.
ID begins to look like old times.


IHE labor question Is occupying the
serious attention Of men Of intelligence
and reflection over the whole earth. For
centuries this most important subject has
been overlooked and pushed to the wall by
encroachments of pretentlon and discrimi
nations of law, but the agitation of the
present is compelling the enlightment of
the people and ithe examination of this
great subject.


OLD Hickory, General Jackson, wiped
out the banking Devi-fsh of his dav re.
lying only on the truth. humanity and
Justice of his cause and the intelligence of
patriotic populacc. The banks spent
S3'OOO,OOO vast sum then to defeat him.
With this vast sum they bribed congress.
politicians, editors, THAT was easily done
money brokers, and political monte.banks
OF every name and nature to do it but they
ialled. So will it be in our great struggle.
TUE Cincinnati Commercial applauds
The London Economist for its exposure of
The fact that gold has advanced 20 per
cent. in value in London in the past five
years. The Commercial ought no, to ir-
more the fact that this carries with it the
conclusion that silver has advanced II ner
cent. IN value in the same time; and also
that these changes have robbed the labor
and property of civilization of at least
twenty thousand millions of dollars. and
enriched the owners of money and debts to
the same extent. These little points ought
to cnchain the attention Of The CONNER
Clal for season.


BY the contraction of money and the
shrinkage of every value, the laborer is
forced to produce twice as much for a
dollar as he had to do few Years ago,
but not so with the bOnd-holder, the
money loaner, the banker and the saa.





ried otiice-holder. They have the same
income and are able to buy twice as
much for a dollar as they could before,
and this is exactly what the laborers of
the country now have to camplain of
and what they will set right some of
these days. Now the working men can
scarcely exist. Usury eats him up.
Then when he gets his rights again"
he will be able, as he ought 20 do,
to sit under his own vine and fig tree,
none making him afraid"


VINO says that the great movement for
financial reform is dead and that its mis-.
sion is ended? Silly fool, if such there is
who thinks SO, you are awfully mistaken.
The mission of the great party of reform is
but begun. 1t is now only preparing the
way through the darkness and bramble-
choked thicket of ignorance to the open
field OF debate and struggle. Theresump-
tion iniquity is merely circumstance.
The hydraheaded monster that we have
to reach and destroy is USURY, persona
fed in the oppressive NATIONAL BANK
SYSTEM. This is our enemy, the dragon
whose poisoned breath overspreads the
land, bringing, debt, desolation and suf-
iering in its track. We have to assail the
most powerful combination of money and
political power that ever the earth has
seen, commanding as it does $1,000, ,OOO,-
600 capital, officered, organized and le-
galized and sustained by a most powerful
and intelligent political party. We have
to uproot its far spreading foundations
and malign influences that reach every
neighborhood and affect every man, woman
and child in their blighting influence and
we must be at work now, while oppor-
tunity is ours or the loss of liberty and life
may be the alternative.


Democracy Fading.


Georgia and Texas and, to greater or
les extent, other States of the South are
being overspread by greenback views of
national policy. The Democracy is fast
