THE
EFFECT OF ONE DEMOCRATIC
riUNCU'LE.
from the X. Y. Times.
Amid tho goiiornl wreck of whnt wore once
'Dmnocrftlio prinei'iloy' the maiu plank re
maining to which mirvivor cling, rocuis to
le Me ropndiatiou of tho puhlio debt. This
platfoi'm of the parly is usually labeled some
what speciouKly. It is called "payment of
the bonds in money of tho Unitod States;"
the "compelling tho plough-holder and bond
holder to take the buiuo currency;" "green
backs for the rich ns well as the poor," nnd
otherwise this project of dishonesty is dis
guised by specious phrases and respectable
names.
All tho old wnr cries of tho "unterriflod
rnuocracy" have passed away. "Slate
IJights," "J lard Money," Free Trade, nud
Anti-Federalism, sympathy with struggling
nationalities, and the like, are all forgotten.
The Republican party are now the Hard
' Money party, and quito as much in favor of a
low tariff as their opponents, and mote in
favor of liberty, both at home and abroad.
The only Democratic principles seem to bo,
now, cheating the bondholders and expanding
the currency.
In the recent elections in Ohio and Penn
sylvania, the great appeals of the . Democrats
to the people were on tho single issue of pay
ment of tho bonds in greenbacks. We hare
no fear thut the working people of this State
will ever be deluded by these specious ap
peals to their ignorance and prejudices.
Still, as this is now their great weapon, it
becomes every workingman who thinks for
himself to examine the argument.
There can Le no greater delusion to tho
laboring class than the supposition that they
get any advantage from an inconvertible cur
rency. It is an old war cry of tho Democratic
party, and a still older axiom of political
economy, that "au irredeemable paper cur
rency is tho robbery of labor." One of the
devices of kings and princes in the middle
nges for filling their treasuries and plunder
ing the working class was to adulterate Jor
clip their coin. A piece of money then,
which was nominally n louis d'or or a florin,
contained really a half or a third less of tho
precious metals, and tho potentate was sup
posed to gain tho difference, whilo tho people
paid the loss. The irredeemable paper dollar
is a precisely similar robbery of tho consumers.
If tho United States bonds, by an act of in
credible national baseness, should ever bo
paid in paper, it need not be said that tho
value of the greenback dollur would sink to
an immense degree. A dollar, instead of
being worth, as it is now, say seventy-three
cents, would be worth, perhaps, thirty-three
cents. The capitalists who saw tho storm
impending, and who are better able to per
ceive beforehand than the laboring classes,
would, of course, sell out their bonds as early
as possible, and put their money in objects
of permanent value, such as houses and lands.
The poor would attempt to redeem last,
nnd would find their hard earned
savings reduced to half their
former value. All savings banks;
trust companies, fire (insurance and life in
surance associations would discover that their
investments in Government securities were
suddenly stripped of more than half their
worth, and the luborers add mechanics who
have their savings in these companies would
be proportionately impoverished. But this
would not be the greatest disaster to the poor,
from the payrneat of the bonds in paper.
The present reduced value of the dollar tells
more severely on the laborers and consumers
than it does on the dealers and the comfort
able classes. Commissioner Wells has proved,
. from careful statistics, that the family expenses
of laborers, mechanics and all people of small
means, have risen in the last few years 87 J
per cent. Wages and salaries have not in
creased at all equally in proportion. The ex
planation is simple: where tho standard of
value is uncertain, or, in other words, where
gold has ceased to be the basis of the cur
rency, every, petty dealer, shopkeeper, mer
chant, and importer must charge to his cus
tomers a double or treble profit to compen
sate him for his extra risks. After each
dealer in any commodity purchases his article,
the currency may change its value, and he
may lose all his usual profit. To meet the
chance of this, he must add somewhat to the
price in doaling with the one next to him in
tho line of sale. When the article finally
reaches the mechanic or the laborer, it is
charged with all these extra prices.
The uncertainty, too, of the currency gives
the dealer a pretext which he is only too
ready to avail himself of to overcharge. If
the value of onr dollar is steadily falling, as
would inevitably be the case under an ex
' pected payment of the bonds in paper, this
uncertainty would be immediately increased,
aud the laboring-class suffer proportionably.
Moreover, the wages of a working class never
can rise as fast as prices rise. There is too
close competition between laborers for that.
In the first "rifio of gold" during the wnr, it
will be remembered, it was a lone time
before wages rose any way proportionably
with the increase of prices, and salaries never
reached a fair equality. Capital, too, under a
grand effort at national repudiation, would
become exceedingly timid, and would not
employ labor to the same extent, so that from
every source vast disasters would come upon
the laboring classes, as the currency increased
and gold rose, willi tho payment of the bonds
in paper. Prices would be at starvution
point, wages Btill low, capital sluggish and
employment dull. The savings on which the
laborers had expected to live would possess
but a fraction of their value. Panic would
increase and gold rise, until the paper dollar
. had become like tho Confederate, and a crash
ensue which would overwhelm luboror and
employer together, but where "the weakebt
would go to tho wall."
These are the probable and reasonable re
sults of the greut Democratic programme tho
payment of the national notes iu other
''promises to pay."
PARAGUAY VIEWS OF GENERALS
McMAlION AND WORTH INGTON.
From th4 X. Y. UrraUL
The conflicting news which hns been
coming to this country all along relutive to
the war in Paraguay aud the position aud
"character of tho belligerents has been most
bewildering. The news by tho way of Rrazil,
or through the other allied States makint? war
on Paraguay, has represented Lone, as having
been utterly annihilated; then, again, when
ever we could ret information diroct from
Paraguay, Lopez has been fouud alive, deter
mined as ever to defend tho independence of
his country, nml the peoplo of that littlo re
pnblio ardently devoted to hiui aud his
cause. Even tho statements of our own
diplomatic ngonts ' and American citiuns
who have beeu in that part of the worl 1 h;ivo
been' contradictory. Now, however, wo
ai'O getting nt something that cau bo
relied upon. It Appears from onr Washington J
despatch published on Wednesday that Gen.
McMuhon, the United States Ministor to
Paraguay, and II. C. Worthington, late
United States Minister to the Argentine Ro
publio, have had an interview with Socretary
Fish, nnd ham explained the situation of
Lopez nnd tho rffiite of affairs at the Boat of
war. They disagree entirely with Mr. Wash
burn in the views he has put forth, and they
are fresh from tho scene of tho war. General
McMahon ngrees with tho opinion we have
expressod ovor and over again, that Brazil is
wrong in the war, nnd that her object is to
absorb the South American rcpuMios on her
border. Ho asserts that Lopez has been
greatly slandered by his enemies, or by those
who do not know him, nnd that tho Para
guayan chief even now holds n strong posi
tion. Indeed, General McMahon asserts that
the position of Lopez is impreguablo, nnd
thnt if the Brazilians attempt to follow
him up they will bo completely destroyed.
Tho announcement by tho allies that tho war
was ended was simply n protoxt for withdraw
ing the invading troops. It appears nlso from
Mr. Worthington's statement that Brazil and
her allies have acted in n very unfriendly aud
high-handed manner towards tho United
States in tho matter of obstructing onr war
vessels, our ministers, nud the otlieial des
patches to nnd from our Government, nnd its
ngents. It is evident thut tho conduct nnd
policy of the United States Government rela
tive to the Paraguayan war nnd our national
interests have been too weak and vacillating.
Let us hope tho administration, with tho facts
now before it, will take decisive measures to
make our flag respected nnd to sustain re
publican institutions in America against tho
ambition of that exotic monarchy, the Brazi
lian empire.
FISH AND HOAR.
from the X. Y. World.
Aenreful canvass of the opinions of thi Cabinet
rcpariiliiR the Cuban question develops tlie fact Unit
JSfiTctui'.v Fish uml Alloniey-Uencral Hour are tlie
only uiemhers who are opposed to a speedy recog
nition of the new republic, and thev uie 'only op
posed to It on the ground that It may complicate our
negotiations with Xireut lirltuin relative to the Ala
bama claims. WaHhimjtun Cor. Laltimore Sun.
We nro tired of seeing nud reading such
rubbish. As we understand it, neither of
these gentlemen mnke any reclamation on
England for the Queen's proclamation of
May, giving a belligerent status to the
Confederates. They have their own opinion
of the friendly or unfriendly spirit to us
which inspired it. A claim for damages,
based on belligerent recognition of the South
by England, is Seward's pet idea. Ho wasted,
for a year nnd a half, n great quantity
of State Department ink and p,ip.?r on tho
subject, nnd solely vexed tho spirit of Mr.
Adams. It is Sumner's project also, and
underlies much of his speech iu the Senate
on tho Johnson-Clarendon treaty. The World
repudiated it from tho start. Messrs. Fish
and Hoar, like sensible men, follow in this
matter the World (it is a pity they do not do
the same in everything), and base their claim
in behalf of this nation nguimt Great Britain
on the allegation that, in re;ect to the Ala
bama, the Queen's ministers did not keep aud
maintain tho neutrality sho voluntarily as
sumed nnd proclaimed.
We do not believe a word of this statement
in the Baltimore tjiui, becauso the sympathies
of both these Cabinet members arc said to ba
much with the Cuban:), and, if they deemed it
due to the people of tho United States that
a declaration of belligerence bo made, noth
ing in the Alabama case would prevent. Tho
suggestion is a cowardly one at best.
The truth is that there is now nothing in
the condition or affairs of onr people requir
ing such a recognition or declaration. What
public or private concern of any citicn needs
it? What material interest under charge of
the Government is influenced or inconve
nienced by the insurgents in the woods and
mountains of Eastern Cuba?
It would be no more absurd for France to
deliberate whether she would accord a bel
ligerent status to our warring Indian tribes
in the West. They have as many and more
men under arms than has Cespedes, fight
quite as well, and much in the same styro of
assaulting an army post or a village and then
fleeirg to the mountains. The whole power
of this Government cannot catch, conquer,
or destroy these insurgent Indians, any more
than General Do Rodas can altogether subdue
the Creoles, negroes, and Chinamen under
Cespedes.
It is apparent now to all impartial persons
thnt the main strength of the Cuban insur
rection is in this country. Here is its naval,
military, and political base. As Mr. Caleb
dishing truly says, even tho political consti
tution of the pretended republic of Cuba
was made here and imported hence iuto the
country over which it was designed to be a
fundamental law. The councils of the insur
rection are in New York city. Who has
heard of any sort of a constitutional conven
tion or a legislative body deliberating in
Cuba ? Who has seen a copy of an act or law
of the legislative department of the republio
of Cuba t 1 ho really efficient soldiers whom
Uespertos has in the woods of the eastern por
tion of tho island were recruited in the
United States in violatio n of its laws. Every
vessel, from tho Perit to the Lilian, which
has reached Cuba in nid of tho insurgents,
has left our shores under tho inspiration of
tho Cuban Junta in this city n great part of
tho members of which are indicted malefac
tors and under bonds not to do the very
things they have been doing during the sum
mer fitted out in palpable infraction of our
municipal code of neutrality and of our treaty
stipulations witu hpain on the subject.
EXIT BADEN.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
It is settled, and there is no help for it.
Baden must soon be sacrificed to Prussia's
omnivorous maw. Franco muy fret aud Aus
tria! may stand aghast, but the former is
powerless to frustrate the rapacious schemes
of her powerful rival, as the futile Wurteui
burg quarrel proved, and tho latter is too
wise to interpose a smglo remonstrance.
Prussia covets her neighbor's land, and the
sovereign of the flourishing littlo duchy has
signified his willinguess to bo absorbed. It
is the inevitable destiny of tho lords of all
the outlying Iloheuzollern territories. One
by one they lay down thoir power and their
hereditary glories everything but thoir bar
ren titles at the feet of the restless and in
satiate ruler of Geruuuy. Tho instinct of
self-preservation requires thorn to accept
their fate with an alloetation of content, if
not of gratitude, for opposition would only
provolie compulsion, and lose them their per
sonal possessions nnd safety with their
crowns. The Grand Duke, liuvin'' promptly
acquiesced in Prussia s proposals, may retain
his nominal rank and a fair proportion, at
least, of his revenues; but his place among tho
moiuuths uf Europe will bo blotted out for
ever. Regrets are unavailing, yet they are none
the lessdoudly and bitterly' expressed. They
tlo not, indeed, proceed from the pooplo o'f
Bulen. who, if they trouble themselves with

r.o tl.tit the lufbieueo
any kind, are
of Pms,iii has
well
for
no substantial I
change in their condition is
likely to occur.
Nor from the pocket-potentate himself, who,
whatever may be the feelings with which ho
sees his easy sway ovor two millions of souls
and six thousand fertile squnre miles wrested
from him, and the brilliant historic memories
of his family, covering n space of more than
a thouBnnd years, ruthlessly dispersed nnd
obliterated, is far too cautious to give them
offensive utterance. They are in no sense
the outcry of wounded patriotism or of
outraged honor. The lamentation is purely
of social nnd fashionable origin, nnd it comes
from the lively capitals of St. Petersburg and
Vienna, from the Boulevnrds of Paris, nnd
from Belgravia nud Bio uusbury. Its echo may
be faintly heard in our owu Fifth Avenue.
For Baden was by universal consent and usage
the shining central European rendezvous oi an
Mint is most alluring aud lascinating in me
dainty dissipations and tho captivating cor
ruptions of modern existence. We menu, of
course, by Baden, tho pretty town upon
the banks of the Oos, with its littlo popula
tion of 70tH permanent inhabitants, and its
nnnual overflow of a quarter of a mil
lion. For the pleasure-seeking world, no
ther linden exists. Carlsruhe, the political
capital, Manheim, tho commercial, and Hei
delberg, the intellectual, are unknown lauds.
Baden-Baden, M. Benazet's stronghold, the
cnpital of vice, alone claims their attention
nnd nrrcsts their footsteps, r or twenty years
it hns been tho Mecca of gilded folly, cxtra-
vngnncc, passion, nnd infamy. I or twenty
years its continually increasing armies of de
votees have clung to it with unswerving
tenacity. Now tho hour of separation has
come. Its guilty glories will presently cease
to glow; for Prussia, whatever her other
weaknesses, has one virtuous impulse, nnd
thnt is the summnry extirpation of all licensed
gaming haunts within her borders.
Baden-Baden is a natural raraaiso; and
Prussia could not, if it would, destroy the in
numerable charms of its picturesque ruins, its
perfumed meadows, its lovely valleys, nnd its
stately forest-covered hills. But, unluckily.
these nro not tho real attractions to tlie multi
tude who yearly make it their temporary
homo. The only brightness that such scenic
attributes possess in the eyes of tho vast
majority of visitors is reflected from the un
wholesome glare of the "Conversation Hall
so called, perhaps, because the infernal
frenzy thnt seizes upon nil who enter it nt
onco nnd effectively precludes every mter-
cenngo of thought. Tho rainbow hues of
field nnd sky nre forgotten in tho harlequin
colors of rouge-et-noir; the fresh nnd invigo
rating breezes in the stilling crowds that
hurry day nnd night to tight with fortune:
tlie pleasant murmnrmgs of the harps in
the Old Castle in tho dull, monotonous click of
the rouletto bnll; the outward atmosphere of
ineffable tranquillity and gentleness in tho hot
strife and anguish nnd greed of play. Vice
banished from Baden will leave it a purified
resort for the few who can bo satisfied with
nature, unstained by thoso tawdry nnd ruin
ous, accessories which blase and profligate ap
petites ucninuci, Put ns tlie blazing locus of
wild excitement and lurid license, its day will
soon have )asscd. Iu its new character of a
small provincial town it will lose all the gaudy
glitter which now distinguishes it, but we
may, nevertheless, congratulate it on the
prospect of a better if an humbler future
one more in harmony with the matchless
physical endowments it enjoys.
The I'rciK-li Bol2ti-nl Piny

'!- or TViisi-eoiiiic V
from the London Spectator.
It is related ot a tragedy-writer ot llio
first French empire Lemercior, if we recol
lect aright that when, although known to
be opposed in politics to the Empire, he had
been elected to tho Trench Academy, and
had as a consequence to be presented to the
Emperor, the latter recoived him most gra
ciously, and asked him if he would soon give
the world some fine tragedy. "J 'attends !"
was the new Academician's enigmatic but
threatening reply, of which the Ciesar did
not care to press for the interpretation.
Tragic enough when it came was the result
of that waiting, and such as to take away
from tho professional tragedy-writer all in
clination to cut it up into acts and scenes for
a mimic stage.
And now the world stands waiting for somo
"grand spectacle"' as the result of a Second
French Empire; but whether the play is to be
a tragedy, or only a tragi-comedy, no one can
tell as yet. For a time it looked as if the
former were nigh at hand. Whilst tho Em
peror was struck down by illness, amidst tho
swelling clamor of opposition, it seemed as if
no more tragic fate had befallen a ruler since
the days when King liomba lay impotent and
agonizing whilst Garibaldi and the thousand
were swooping round and up from Marsala.
One by' one all his trusted aud handy human
tools had been dropping away Do Morny,
St. Arnaud, Billault, Troplong, Moc
quard, nnd Niel last of nil. The two
edged blade of universal suffrage had
wounded the wielder's hand. He who
hud crashed out an adverse Parliamentary
majority hnd now bent the knee to a minority
just elected, had striven and juggled to anti
cipate its action, and seem to give that which
he durst no more withhold; -had, if not sacri
ficed, jet put out of the way his most effi
cient remaining instrument, Rouher. And
now he lay perhaps on his death-bed' Could
the woman and the child beside htm lift and
beur the load which win slipping from his
grasp ?
But the sceno is changed again. Ciesar, if
not restored to r.ealtu, is Limsell ouco more
V hat next ?
We need not here ngain discuss the proba
bilities of nn abdication, already discussed in
this journal. That tho plan, whether finally
rejected or not, has been considered and
turned over nt the Tuiloiies, scams beyond
doubt. But in itself it would really be but a
change of form, not of substance. No one
believes that the Third Napoleon will retire
to a San Yusto convent, or take to cabbage-
planting like another Diocletian. The plain
fact of the matter is this: There' is war be
tween the ruler of France and the French
people. One or the other must succumb in
this warfare. Which shall it bo 'i
Without a struggle, certainly not tho ruler;.
scarcely the hood la. But wtieio f in me
l'nrliument or in the streets? If in the Par
liameut, it may safely be snidthal the tfm
pcror is vanquished beforehand. The civil
history of modem times has few
remaiuable pages thuu that of
growth of the Opposition in
Second Empire, from the time when
morn
tlie
tho
"tho
Five," nlone amidst a compact mass of
teriid votes it is almost a solecism
imuis
to call
them voters with no publicity to back them,
since they spoke unreported, bore witness
that there was a France outside thut mass a
France unsatisfied, protesting, desiring, ready
to claim what it desired. At ench nw clou
lion a few votes were added to tho first nu
cleus of opposition, whilst, others trutj't'ed
in by degrees from the ranks of tlie ni.i.i. il.V
itsdf; nt each Puil'uinieut sonic new conces
sion w:is granted from on hi'h l''5' il
si'.otild be v.oii, till at l.i.-t, in spi'u of the
years been supreme, nnd that
whole machinery of French officialism, pre
fects, sub-prefects, nnd nominee mayors, and
hnlf a million of civil functionaries backed by
not much less than half a million of soldiers,
tho elections of this year sent up nearly a
third of Opposition members of all slmdes.'tho
greatest cities of the Empire taking" plea-'
Bine iu elocling "irreconcilables," or at
least parading them ns candidates. Mean
while, the right of public mooting has been
to some extent restored; tho press is not only
free, but for the time unbridled, and. as the
Tiiim' Parisian correspondent says, none bnt
Opposition papers nre read. Is it possible to
believe thnt when so much has been gained
nlrcady by the people more will not be gained
now? What concession hitherto made by the
Emperor hns done more than whet the appe
tite of the receivers? His amnesty was
laughed at; how long will tho new Senatus
Consultum last? Short shrift probably will
tho elect ivo House give it, if onco it moets.
Old or young, the Bonapartcs cannot face a
Parliamentary regime; they must crush it or
be crushed by it.
But what if the struggle were in the
streets ? Why, then tho chances micrht be
quite other. Whether it bo true or not that
nt tho Inst Paris riots Niel had given instruc
tions to fire, nnd Cnnrobert refused, saying
that with tho Chnssopots too much innocent
blood iinint be shed, certain it is that soldiers
armed with the new rides, frouted only by
the usual materials of a French insurrection
or revolution National-Guard muskets of the
July monarchy, fowling-pieces, and pisto's,
with here nnd there a revolver must bear
down nil before them. Once in the streets,
it is tho people, not the ruler, who stand van
quished beforehand. And the question
nrises are they being drawn down there ?
Why are the press laws so utterly silent? Why,
instead of the old vigorous wnr of warnings
nud prosecutions, is every provocation al
lowed to go unrepressed ? Few persons in
France now doubt that tho Paris election
riots were nt least hnlf got-up. Is the meet
ing of tho IIouso of Representatives delayed,
in order that the Parisians may bo whipped
up to fever heat by the press, whilst tho most
trusted leaders of the opposition nre dispersed
nnd silent, in order to keep the arena free for
some wild rising, headless, aimless, without a
rallying point, without a moderating influ
ence ? That some such plots nro being con
trived by the dozen, no one doubts; reckless
fanatics will never be wnntiug to spin them
no, nor police agents to join m nnd denounce
them.
Yes. a good street victory might estnblish
the dynasty for live, ten, fifteen years per
haps. But at what price? The struggle
must be one in good earnest. The nicvo "rod
spectre" hns lost its hobgoblin terrors for the
nation. I he very ntrt'i.ie of
Paris hns learnt to distinguish between a
row aud a revolution. For the Ihvd time since
forty-nine years, the ciii-'ufrfi of tho election
days failed to rufllc, far less turn, the current
of public opinion. Au aimless volley down a
boulevard would rather irritate than, as in
1 !"C 1, cow Paris. The men who must be
drawn into the streets must bo real foes
woith getting rid of, such, for instance, ns
that oii vrii r before whom the Onssagnae, head
bravo of the Empire, lately quailed, when,
professing entire ignorance of sword nnd pis
tol nl ike, and not willing to bo simply mur
dered nt arm's length with tho one or at
ten paces with tho other, tho oncrier
claimed of him in vnin n duel with two pis
tols, ono londed, the other unloaded, each
holding his muzzle to tho other's temple.
Grim, wild men these, dangerous to bo left
long nt large. To be successful, tho tragedy
must be complete.
But it is dangerous ploying with edge-tools
new ones, too, many of them. What if
they failed to do their work ? Faithful though
tlie army may be, there nre, even in this re
spect, awkward symptoms. Here is M. do
Keratry, who commanded an Imperial counter
guerilla in Mexico, now claiming for the pro
rogued Assembly to which he has been
elected the right to constitute itself uncon
voked this very month. The new Republican
dogma, that of the abolition of standing
armies, is said to be spreading among tho
soldiers themselves, always out of humor
with their lot. The chance lies between a
carnage and failure. The carnage would be
terrible; failure would be terrible. And
the chance has to be risked by an old man,
enfeebled by chronic disease, not personally
cruel will lie risk it ? Will he not rather
try some of the old expedients, which
served him iu such good stead iu days gone
by ? a littlo bloodshed, rather more bullying,
oracular speechifying, vogue promises, coujit
ile theatre, trottings-out of the Liberal
cousin ? Sad it is, no doubt, that
the tame eagle brought up in a Carlton Gar
dens' Rrea and the Satory sausages valuablo
stage properties though they were in their
time will not bear using more than once.
But then the tragedy is given up, and the
tragi-comedy commences. If the people have
enough self-control to avoid the streets, they
may sit till they have laughed it out.
