Both Parties Divided on the Currency


Question.


BALTIMORE, July 19.-SenatOr Thur
man, of Ohio, has been for several days
the guest of Senator Davis, of West Vir-
ginia, at Deer Park Hotel, on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. Yesterday a reporter
of the Baltimore Gazette interviewed Sena-
tor Thurman on the financial plank OF the
Columbus (Ohio) platform. Judge Thur
man talked quite freely on the situation
in Ohio and his own relations to it, which
he thought had been misunderstood. In
reply to inq Iiries, he said the Democratic
party in Ohio is divided on the currency
question. The financial opinions contain
ed In the Columbus platform should only
be regarded as the expression OF local
opinion, and nothing could be more unjust
than the attempt to charge on this
account that the Democratic party, as a
National organization, is animated by a
spirit of imitation. At all times of COM
mercial depression the cry Of more money
is raised, the present period being no ex-
ceptiOu. The inflatiOnists are to be found
in both political parties, and 1t is very un-
becoming for Republican journals to de-
nounce the Democracy as an initiation
party, while so prominent a Republican as
Judge Kelley is haranguing the IirOn work
ers of Ohio in favor of his $3.50 bond
scheme and greenback heresies. He also
referred to other Republican leaders who
have been first and foremost in defense of
greenbacks as the best currency the world
ever saw.


Touching the desire for Republican sue
cess in the present Ohio canvass in the in
of nav,noraAfa rlrsVafv,lae GanafO-
Thurman said: "NO man who cOmprehends
the political situation, and hopes for the
success of the Democratic party at the next
Presidential election, should desire Re
publican victory in Ohio, in the foolish be-
lief that such result will contribute to
Republican defeat in 1876. Nothing could
be more erroneous. Democratic defeat in
the approaching State election is simply
suicidal. 1t is true that serious errors were
inserted in the platform. l did my best to
avert the threatened evil, but because 9th
ers disagreed with me see no reason why
l should bolster up the Republican party.
If errors have been committed in Ohio,
they can be corrected. They need not be
the excuse fOr.greater ones. The Republi-
can party in Ohio is also divided on the
currency question. The financial plank IN
their platform can be construed to mean
hard or soft money, and prominent Ohio
Republican Congressman are in favor Of
more greenbacks."


Replying to the charge that he eVinced a
lack of moral courage Tor not denOuncirg
the initiation plank Of the Columbus plat
form at the ratification meeting, he said
"the place and time were not OppOrtune.
1t is a great injustice to condemn one for
opinions never uttered. l have said or
done nothing to warrant the charges
brought against me. My record in the
Senate is before the country, and on that
record L yet stand. l am to make my first
speech Of the campaign at Mansfield, Ohio,
July 81, and shall then announce my disa-
greement with the financial provisions Of
the platform, and throughout the campaign
l shall say nothing to discredit the conyic-
tiOns Of a life time.r

New York Bulletin, July l..


1t is said that some Of the Eastern
cotton mills are about to ship an IN
voice Of cotton goods to England with
a view to opening up a market for
them. This idea was suggested by the
decline Of these goods IN this market,
while the same reduction has not Oc-
CURED in Great Britain, leaving a diff
ference in favor of our goods that Of
fers a handsome profit to ship.
The only obstacle Is the introdUc-
ton Of them to the English con-
sumer, as the quality is claimed to be
superior, while the price is lower. 1t
Is expected that the experiment viii be
successful, IN which case more exten-
sive shipments are contemplated. 1t Is
now true that cotton goods are lower IN
the United States than IN any other
market in the world. This is as it
should be, and If the rapid decline in
these goods the present season shall
prove the means Of opening up markets
for our mills, not only in England, but
in all the countries which England now
supplies, an advantage viii be gained
that will not only far exceed the losses
occasioned by the fall, but it will ena-
bic our mills to find a market for full
production.

unloading produce and merchan-
disc. Even in no previous winter
season has such activity been mani
fest. Our trade is beyond the high

Let not another season como
without greater facilities for hand
ling grain, and for handling with
promptncss all that comes to our
market. Let the farmer know that
he can get the cash for all the wheat
he may bring in, and it will add
largely TO our trade.
