Professing to be an honest man, the
candidate of an honest organization I
favor honest money.
The volume of the currency should
be regulated by legitimate demand.
and not by the requirements of bank
rupts and wild speculators.
The currency should be redeemable
as early as the exigencies of the Gov
ernment will permit, in the currency
recognized by all civilized nations.
The contracts of the Government
should be held as sacred as the con
tracts of Individuals, and the bonds,
theevidnce of its indebtedness, should
be paid according to the understand
ing between the Government and the
lender. tfpeech at Butler, Sept. 2

There was quite a singular inci
dent in Marquette, Michigan, on Mon
day evening, while the examination of
witnesses in the case of the United
States vs. Samuel J. Tilden, before the
United States Commissioner, was in
progress. Two men, it is represented,
suddenly entered the office, seized the
books of the New York Iron Mine
Company, which were being used in
testimony, and whileone hurried down
stairs to a carriage in waiting the other
stood guard at the door, preventing the
egress of any one until his accomplice
had secured a good start. Just pre
vious to the entrance of the men Hon.
Thos. Hartland, of New York, attor
ney for Mr. Tilden, had been using the
books and had placed them in a pile
n a table near the door. As soon as
the occupants of the room realized
what had been done Mr. W. L. Wit
more, one of the witnesses under ex.
amination, who claimed the books as
his private property, rushed out after
the men, but they had passed on out
of sight. Warrants were issued as
quickly as possible, and officers started
in pursuit. They overtook the carriage
some miles out of the city, but found
neither men nor property. The sup
position is that the books have been
carried out of the State. This pro
ceeding demonstrates that Mr. Tilden
either has some very malignant ene
mies or some very injudicious friends,
In either event, it will no doubt ho
come incumbent upon him to explain
this extraordinary transaction.
Mrs. Jacob Kunz, of Woodbridge,
Connecticut, met a most horrible and
extraordinary death on the 5th inst.
w.mie sne was making a fire in a cook
ing stove the flames burst throurrh an
opening la the stove and ignited her
aress. bhe was paralyzed by her per

eucu or minu au her clothes were
ablaze. Shrieking she ran to the barn
and began to roll in the hay, and issu
ing thence she Jumped down into a
deep well and was drowned. Her Ht.
tie daughter was a horrified spectator
of the scene, and after she saw her
mother leap down the well gave the
alarm to the neighbors, but too late to
save the baru and outhouse, which
were consumed, with the contents.
When Jacobs Kunz, who had been
away to work, returned he was almost
deprived of reason at his affliction and
loss. Mrs. Kunz, when taker from
the well, was found to have been litter
ally roasted alive, and her flesh was
black from head to feet. She was
thirty-four years old.

John Sherman's Crime.
The honorable Secretary of the Treas
ury is persistently charged with bring
ing distress upon the country by "forc
ing resumption." If a merchant, man
ufacturer, or a person In any other Hue
of business fails, he has been "Shcr-
manlzed,'' according to the vocabulary
of the Democratic press. When the
"fiat" money State or county conven
tion adopts its platform the main plank
charges the Secretary of the Treasury
with "forcing resumption," and there
by "prolonging the sufferings of the
unemployed." It Is the old story re
toldhistory repeating itself. Indi
viduals, corporationsand communities
In prosperous times rush Into In pru
dent speculations and extravagance,
contract debts, secured by a loan on
their property, and pile up obligations
which they have no reasonable pros
pect of ever being able to discharge
Finally, the limit of speculative folly
Is reached, by the sudden crash of some
prominent speculative enterprise, and
the nation is astounded. Confidence
vanishes, fear seizes the public mind,
each individual feels his own critical
position and loses confidence In his
neighbor ; work is suspended, men are
thrown out of employment, and want
and suffering ensue.
At this juncture the opponents of
the administration see their opportu
nity and Improve It. The announce
ment is made through the press, on the
stump and in the halls of Congress that
our troubles are the direct result of pe
cuniary legislation, the remedy for
which can only be readied through the
ballot box. Appeals are made, not to
the understanding, but to the stomach,
and converts are secured to the new
doctrine. Opposition to the Govern
ment spreads, and the administration
is denounced.
Under a pressure of precisely this na'
ture John Sherman has become, as a
prominent official of the Government,
one of the best-abused individuals in
the country. And why? Simply be
cause, as a sworn official, he is endeav
oring to discharge his duty as defined
by acts of Congress. It is known to
every citizen that when capitalists at
home and abroad boughtour bonds and
paid for them In coin the promise of
the Government was that they should
be redeemed in coin. The Secretary,
in paying for bonds in coin, in simply
complying with law and fulfilling the
Government pledges, Again, Congress
passed an act providing for the resump
tion of specie payment on the 1st of
January, 1S79. For this the Secretary
is now preparing; but lie is governed
strictly by the provisions of the acts
of Congress in the premises.
The great need of the country to-day
Is the solid business basis which specie
resumption .will provide. For years
pat the business communities have
been looking audyearning for thiscon-
summation as theonly ground on
which to hope for a revival of business
on permanent footing. The country
wants it now; the Treasury is pre
pared for its commencement without
longer delay. The Secretary is with
held from opening his treasure vaults
in response to the wants of business
only by the requirements of the law
which fixes the day when he shall do
so. He cannot even pay out standard
dollars for paper currency, because a
Democratic act forbids him doing so
If, then, the opposition feels itself
bound to deal in censure, let it go to
the fountain-head to Congress to its
own representatives, and heap its abuse
upon its own acts, passed there by its
own leaders and their supporters. The
Secretary of the Treasury is governed
by law in all his acts and transactions.

assigned him, and his success In bring.

to a specie basis within the time spec
ifted by law, without disturbing the
world's exchanges in the slightest de
gree, will give him high rank in his
tory as a financier and statesman.
A new association is forming at
Washington known as the Enlisted
Labor Association. They propose to
urge upon Congress the passage
of a law by which one hundred thous
and volunteers may be enlisted forfive
years for military and agricultural
purposes on a reservation of the gov
ernment. Twelve skilled mechanics
or artisans are to be in each company,
and one regiment of each corps to be
engineers exclusively. As soon as ten
thousand men shall be enlisted they
shall be sent to a reservation, and
upon their arrival shall survey and lay
out a city, and commence the erection
of suitable quarters for a permanent
ettl cment, preparing the ground for
agricultural purposes, and developing
the mineral resources ot the country.

Government with seeds, stock, farm
