A IiITTIjK TUU MUCH.
Ono year ago to-day (tho 23d instant) tho
battlo of the Hound House, at Pittsburg,wa9
fought. It was Republican capital in tho
Bound House fighting agiinst Democratic
labor in the streets. llellefonte Watchman.
Wo aro surprised to find the abovo state
ment in so staunch a Deraocratio sheet as tho
Watchman. It is a statement not based up
on fact, and which the Democratic party can
not afford to allow to go unrefuted. What
the object of the Watchman can bo in making
such an assertion we cannot uudcrstand. Tho
i . ji i . i i . .....
aimcumcs oi last summer originated in a
ttriko of railroad employees. If thero had.
been nothing more, thero would havo been no
violence nor loss of property, any further
than was occasioned by tho detention of train:
Nor would thero have been any uceessity for
calling out troops to maintain poaoo. Incen
diarism and violence were not tho work of the
strikiug railroaders, but of the idle and tho
lawless, tho dregs of society, who seized
the opportunity to plunder and destroy prop
erty under cover of the strike. We under
stand it to be the settled fact that such was
tho case. The Pittsburg riot, then, was the
work of a mob, which got beyond the control
of the strikers who themselves would have
prevented it if possible To say that the vio
lence of a lawless mob was a contest between
labor and capital is absurd, and the assertion
that the men in the roind house who went
out in pursuance of an order to do their duty
represented republican capital, while tho wild
and blood-thirsty rioters in the streets rcpre
sented Democratic labor, is an insult to the
party of law and order whose doctrines are tho
only safeguard of the people.
The Campaign.
Tho political campaign in our Stato will not
be fairly opened until the heated term is
over. So far everything looks favorable for
the Democrats. Wo seek a verdict from tbe
reason of the people ; wc do not appeal to
their passions we leave that ior our adversa
ries to do. The calmer and cooler our fellow
citizens view the situation tho more likely
they will be to support sound Democratic
measures, and vote for an honest, capable
candidate, like Mr. Dill, for Governor. The
recent astounding developments of Republi
can frauds in our State and National affairs,
most affect popular opinion and make a deci
ded change of votes in our favor. Tba Re
publican party best succeeds in a season of
fierce excitement, in unsettled times, when a
spirit of absorbing partisanship prevails.
Then even great peculations from the public
funds pass unnoticed, but in quieter, in more
reasonable, and in mora peaceful periods, cor
ruption becomes apparent
It is useless for the Republicans to assert
that great frauds havo not been perpetrated
by them in every department of tho Govern
ment They have kept themselves in power
only by the lavish expenditure of millions oi'
dollars which they have been stealing from
tbe toiling tax-payers. This money has been
making for them votes, many of them illegal
votes, and it has been owing to its use that the
elections in the past eighteen years have in
many localities gone against us. Our present
debt is mainly attributable to the gigantio vil
lainies of the Republican party. In our State
Legislature and tho National Congress bills
providing for tho shameful disbursement of
great Bums of money have been rushed
through by Republican majorities until the
very perpetuity of our free institutions arc se
riously imperiled. One would suppose that
such a dauinirs political record would make
the guilty leaders of tho Republican party
hide their heads ith shame, or abscond to
some foreign country. But this is not tho
case ; so bold havo I heso infamous scoundrels
become that they even namo Grant as deserv
ing re-election to ibe Presidency, .a man
whoso administration of our Government was
noted for its vi'lainy, stupidity, favoritism,
and reckless payiug out, for bad puroscs,tho
publio money. Grant and his confederates
have the temerity, strange as it may appear,
to ask ' again from our people those high
trusts which they never failed to betray, and
the care of that treasury which they never
failedto immensely rob. Wo shall indeed be
greatly disappointed if an indignant ixsoplc
do not this Fall, in tho Kcystono State, give
their verdict against this movement by such a
majority for the Democratic Stato ticket as
shall be emphatic and overwhelming. York

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, Jnly 29, IS7S.
Aside from Sherman's correspondence,
elsewhere alluded to In this letter, thero has
been nothing of Interest developed beforo
the Potter Committee at Atlantic City. Gar
field, Hale, Kelley and other radical states
men testified to tho exceedingly virtuous
manner in which tficy conducted themselves
while la New Orleans, after tho election of
1876. Hon. Mr. Sypher, a radical member
oi Congress for two terms from Louisiana
testified toseelng the" original Sherman let
ter, promising protection and advancement
to two men If they continued in their eflorts
to falsify tho vote of Louisiana. He saw
the letter several times, was familiar with
Sherman's handwriting, and had no doubt
the letter was genuine. More importance is
attached to the proceedings ol the sub-committee
at New Orleans, before which Major
Burke, the accredited agent of Gov. Nlcholls
from November, 1S7C, to March 4, 1877,
gave a history of his acts. Ho furnished
to tho sub-commlttco the telegrams which
passed between himself and his principal.
In them It is shown that tho special frlet.ds
of Mr. Hayes Matthews, Foster, Sherman
and Dennlson pleduetl Hayes, if inaugu
rated, to tbe removal of troops from Louisi
ana and South Carolina, The dispatches
also show that Hayes, before he was declared
elected and while the contest was going on
in Congress, approved tbe promises of his
friends and also agreed to an arrangement
by which two Democratic Senators should
be secured from Louisiana. To Stanley
Matthews as a complete letter writer must
be added Messrs. Hayes and Sherman. Their
correspondence while the latter was in New
Orleans manipulating Louisiana's vote, and
the former was in Ohio preparing to accept a
stolen office, was not as voluminous as Mat
thews', but it was full of substance. Says
Sherman, In effect : "Wo havo honestly got
to steal more than wn thought In order to
save the electoral vote of Louisiana, Shall
we do it?" Says Mr. Hayes, in effect - "I
ought to havo forty elcctorat votes in tbe
South. Go ahead. Keep your consciences
clear and yourselves unspotted from tho
world." There are more words than this,
but all save this Is mere words. All the
hypocrites pictured by Dickens, if turned
into one special hypocrite, could not ap
proach either of these men.
The first appearance of violence in connec-
section with labor In this District was on
Friday last, when men employed by the con
tractors for excavating and grading for the
new building for the Bureau of Engraviug
and printing, were driven from their work.
Tbe contractors, it was said, were giving but
72 cents a day ; and indignant unemployed
laborers interfered to prevent a continuance
of the work at that price. The trouble re
commenced Saturday morning. However,
by "sharp, short and decisive" action on the
part of the police authorities the rioters were
quickly and effectually subdued. Three
men were more or less injured. No further
trouble is expected.
On the general subject of "Civil Service
Reform" tbe Washington correspondent has
little to say. Except in occasional inter
views with Mr. Hayes the sunject is not
mentioned here. The oldfashioned assess
ments are made, the clerks who refuse to
pay are dismissed, and the machine runs ex
actly as it did under Kach Chandler. I Bay
exactly, but there is, of course, this differ
ence : Zach said openly to the Government
employee that he must contribute a certain
per cent of his pay for political purposes or
he must go. It Is now said that his refusal
to pay will not eudanger his place. But If
he is verdant enough to believe and act on
this, off goes his head. The most efficient
clerk in the 6th Auditor's Office was behead
ed the other day under these precise circum
stances. Since his decapitation others have
come forward with an alacrity that shows
they only need one such hint.
Capt Eads' reply in the New York Trib
une to the attack made on him by a St.Louis
paper clears him in the esteem of all those
who appreciate his great work at the mouth
of the Mississippi. Men of his prominence
cannot avoid making unscrupulous enemies.
But their charges must be specific before
they are believed at the expense of a nation
al benefactor.

Greenback Labor Fallacies.
The voters in this country who incline to
support the greenback-labor party do so on
these grounds : They see that industry and
trade are prostrate ; they would like to see
the country once more on the high wave of
prosperity; they have been told that a severe
and pinching contraction uf the currency
caused the collapse of 1873 and the prostra
tion which followed ; and they believe that,
in some way, they know not how, a new and
great Inflation of tbe currency would give us
a new period of good times.
Now, if they were right in their conclu
sions and belief, we should agree with them
and support the greenback-labor party. If
they are wrong, however, they are in tbe
position of a physician who, when called in
to treat a very serious case of disease, should
mistake its nature and give the wrong reme
dies. He would injure the patient and not
help him. Where the sick man is a big
country like this it becomes a grave matter
to offer prescriptions, and we have at least a
right to require that the doctor who presses
his medicine upon us shall understand the
disease.
I. Now, it is a greenback-labor fallacy to
assert that a great contraction of the cur
rency has caused the collapse and bard
times. There has been, in fact, no such
great contraction. Official statistics show
that the amount of paper money out, ex
clusive of interest bearing notes, which can
not properly be counted, because they very
rapidly disappeared from circulation, was
greatest in 1874, after tbe panic and collapse
ol 1873 ; that therefore, the greatest amount
of paper money In circulation did not pre
vent or cure a collapse or panic, but, as we
hold, was one of its main causes. The total
paper circulation, exclusive of interest bear
ing notes, was in 1870, $608,000,000 ; In
1871, $716,000,000; In 1872, $737,000,000;
in 1873, the year when tbe panic and de
pression began, $749,000,000; In 1874, $783,-
O00.000 ; In 1875, $773,000,000. In 1878,the
present year.when for the flist time there are
real signs of an Industrial revival slow ,but
apparently sure and on a sound basis, tbe
circulation is within a few millions of the
year 1870 ($688,000,000), and when the hon
est greenback-labor man looks back with a
sigh to the good times of 1870, he should
understand that the country has now sub
stantially the same amount of circulating
medium as then ; and when he Is told by
some quack like Ewlng or Cary that what Is
needed Is more currency, be ought to reply
by pointing to tbe fact that it was precisely
when the greenbacks were most abundant
that the big panic broke. But he ought'to
add, for the information of the quacks who
are misleading him, that while the currency
Is now nearly at the tame volume as In the
prosperous year 1870, its value, reckoned In
gold, has greatly appreciated, and il we
count In gold there was but fo9!),0o0,000
worth of paper in circulation In 1870,against
$684,000,000 worth in the present year.
II, It Is another greenback fallacy that
tho country Is poor, jf it wero really poor,
surely no ono will be so absurd as to say that
printing n great quantity oi paper promises
could mako it rich, git Is not the amount of
notes a farmeror me?chanhas!rout which
makes him a rleii man, but tho amount of
grain or cattlo or merchandise ho owns, "nd
tho country is in this respect, like an indi
vidual. In fact, however, the country is not
poor. It has had u succession of great crops;
It produces, as olllcial statistics show, more
cotten and woolen goods, more Iron, moro
coal, more ptrducts of all kinds this year
than In loW, -which was the year of moDei
prosperity to which the greenback-labor man
always refers. In fact, the American peo.
pie are so ingenious and Industrious that, In
many and perhaps most branches of indus
try, they produce more than they call them
selves use. Hut "prices aro low" Is the gen
eral complaint ; and so they are, to the great
comfort of everybody who consumes. Prices,
however, aro lower than they ought to be ;
and for tho reason that the greenback-labor
people havo persistently opposed tho repeal
of laws which, whllo they exist, prevent Us
from selling abroad what wo cannot use our
selves. Prices aro lower In China than hero
and for the reason that China carries out
oven more vigorously than wo tho policy
falsely called "protection." China is tho
model protectionist country of tho world,
mid tho Chinese laboring people are happy
If they earn five cents by a day's work. Our
New York Greenback-Labor Convention
demanded in its platform the other day a
prohibitive tariff, which is what China has
had for centuries that Is to say, they com
plain that wages and prices are too low, and
thereforo demand legislation which will, as
all experience proves, lower them still
more.
HI. It is a greenback-labor fallacy that
irredeemable paper nnd plenty of it is good
for the workingmen. On this head tho his
tory of the years 1803 to lS7f ought to be
enough to warn tho workingmen. Citizen
Schwab summed up that experience so well
the other day that we cannot do better than
repeat what he said. A new inflation of the
currency would give the speculators a new
chance, perhaps; It would mako tho fortunes
of merchants with stocks of goods on hand,
but it would ralso prices faster than It would
raise wagen.and thus impoverish and not ben
efit tho workingmen. Mr.Schwab said : "Tho
most the national-labor-greenback party can
do Is to help the middle classes of society ,to
bring back for a few years the hollow pros
perity of the war times' by flooding the
country with paper money and giving these
classes I refer to a chance to speculate and
make fortunes quickly. Tho working peo
ple would not be benefited. Everything they
eat an.l wear would go up, and their
wages would go up, but not as high
as their expenses. Badly off as they are now
they might be worse off then. Though it
might give them a few years of higher wages
but always higher prices, the reaction would
leave them worse ofl than ever."
IV. A correspondent, who is evidently a
greenback-labor man, writes us: "In a re
cent visit to Massachusetts Fall River,
Lynn, Essex county and Boston I find that
tbejaboring people who are living on starva
tion wages ; the small dealers and shop
keepers who see tbe accumulations of years
melting away before the dry rot ; the real es
tate men who owe mortgages on dead prop
erty all, all are in favor of the 'Ohio idea,'
or the expansion of the currency. 'Give us
another chance to make money ; give us a
few years of prospejity.even if it be followed
by another collapse. Things cannot be
much worse than they are now. We have
tried the experiment of forced resumption
long enough.' That is the way they talk
down there, and that is the way they will
vote."
It is a fond and foolish saying with drunk
ards, when they waken up with a headache,
that, 'a hair of tho dog that bit you is tho best
medicine.' But hero are pcoplo who think
they had better cat tho wholo dog. Tho la
boring people, the small shopkeepers, speak
out of ignorance, and repeat what has been
told them. But our correspondent mentions
one class who undoubtedly are very influen
tial, not in Massachusetts only, but in all tho
other States, in urging a new inflation. Those
are tho real cstato men who owo mortgages on
dead property. These aro tho men who arc
everywhere the leaders in tho new inflation
movement. Let an honest greenback-labor
farmer or workingman ask tbo leader of his
party, bo it General Kwing, or General Cary,
or Mr. Shupe, or whoever he may be, wheth
er ho is not in debt for real. estate, and ho will
get but one honest answer, 'Yes.' In the last
Congress this was so notorious that it became
a joko when any Representative was especial
ly zealous for an inflation of tho currency to
ask him how much real estate ho held ; and
Scuator Jones of Nevada, who was one of tho
foremost leaders of tho inflation movement,
did not even conceal the fact that ono of the
main objects ol those acting with him was to
mako a market for real estate. But surely it
is not to the interest of the mars of working
mcu that real cstato shall bear a high price.
That means to them exorbitant rents j i(
means that their families shall bo stuffed into
mean tenements ; it means that they shall
pay speculators high prices for the littlo vil
lage lots they ought to own. 'Cheap lands'
has always and rightly been tho cry of tho
workingmen ol this country, yet they aro al.
lowiug themselves to bo deceived into a'poli-
cy which has for its chief object to raise tho
price ol real cstato.
A . But even tho real cstato speculators de-
ccivo themselves. A now inflation will not
help them. Inflation will not inflate. The
balloon burst in 1873 ; it will hold no new
gas. Tho panio of 1873 and the succeeding
depression came about not by contraction, bo
causo paper money was then most abundaut,
as we havo 6hown : it canio about becauso of
over speculation, over trading and tho deep
alarm which seized prudent men everywhere
as they saw wither wo wero drifting. Public
confidence received a great shock ; tho men
wuo bad anything buttoned up their pockets
and tho men who bad notbiogbut debts failed.
Lately coufidenco had begun slowly to revive;
but a new inflation would only send us back
into tbo distress of 1873-4. It is becauso wo
have got near to a specie basis that men aro
beginning to venture timidly on new enterpris
es. It is becauso confidence is shocked at
these greenback labor demands for a new in
flation that times remain hard. Thero is no
hope of better times for the; workinmcn or
oven for the speculators, until resumption is
accomplished and the inflation movement is
finally defeated. iV, 1', Herald.

they witness this miracle of science ; they
can scarcely believe their eyes ns the con

There aro just now many visitors from tho
rural provinces of France, who are, quite as
interesting as the exhibits they have come to
look at. I observed one family in particular
standing for a long whllo before the freezing
machine. They were quite a study in them
selves ; the head of the house was attired in
a suit of a cut that might have been fash
ionable fifty years ago, which the villago
tailor's art had mado a curiosity of wrinkles
and creases, of looseness whrc it should
have been tight, nnd of tightness where it
should luivo been loose. His two sous, one
a stalwart young man, the other an awkward
angular peasant wore clothes that were quite
the counterpart of thoso of their worthy
progenitor, their semblance leading ono to
suppose that their local tailor had strong
conservative views', and hail trained his
shears to preserve the cut that was all tho
style in his youth, with u lolty disregard for
the changes of tho fickle fashion, had gone
on turning out redlngotes of the style of
Charles IX for thn-o generations of peasan

played their picturesque local costume ti
high linen cap, bedecked with gay ribbons !
a woolen dress of tpiaiutly simple fashion,
and a pretty apron.evidently meant for show
and not for use. I'lms iitti red, they looked
as fresh and pleasiuir, as tho ineu appeared
ridiculous. They were amazed at the sight
of the artificial ice, and watched tho frozen
blocks as they come out of the uiachiue,
leaning over tbe railiugs to lay their lingers
upon them, doubting their eyes until an ad
ditional sense li.ul clinched tho argument,
and convinced them that there was real ico

Newgate Prison, which, the cable says. is.
to bo demolished, has been the scene of great
suffering, injustice and folly during tbe eight
centuries blnce tbe gate of the city, near
wiiicn it stood, was new euough to give the
prlsdn a uaiue. ,H has been frequently re
built At first it was simply a tower or ap
pendage to the gate which stretched across
the west end of Newgate street. It was "re
stCred" nnd enlarged by Wren, in 1072, af
ter the great fire. The preeeut structure was
deslgued In 1770, by George Dance, R. A.,
but was burned to a mere shell by the Lord
George Gordon rioters lu 17b0, aud was not
repaired aud completed until 1782. About
twenty years ago Jt was again remodeled.
Newgate vtas the scene of many brutal exe
cutions durlug past centuries. It was the
debtorj prison, where Inuocent but uufortu
nato men wero deprived of the opportunity
of earning a livelihood for themselves or
their families ; it was a university of crime
where all classes of offenders were cpuere-
gated together, debasing each other and
plotting ucw schemes uf crime. Occasion

munity that maintained it, by breeding
plagues and pestilences, William Peun, the
founder of Pennsylvania, was confined there
in 1672, for street preaching. The poets

It is Worth a Trial.
"I was troubled for-many years with Kid
ney Complaint, Gravel, Ac, my blood be-
camo thin ; I was dull and inactivo ; could
hardly crawl about, and was an old worn out
man all over, and could get nothing to help
mo until I got Hop Bitters, aud now I am a
boy again. My blood and kidneys aro all
right and I am as active as a man of 30, al
though I am 72, and I havo no 'doubt it will
do as well for others of my ago. It is worth
a trial." (Father.)
