Any one hard np fbr a house can get
one in Philadelphia. An article in au
exchange says there are 1500 houses va
cant in that city—more than at any pe
riod in its history. These range thron,' 1
all classes, from the palatial mansion to
the lowly cotUge. A large proportion
of the unoccupied dwellings ars situate,
in the west, northwest and northeast,
while an unparalleled number of stores,
in the business portion of the city r<
nlso vacant. The cause of this condition
of affairs is thus explained by a large
real estate owner. Seid he: "The Uw ,>
supply and demand rules in real estaw
as well as in mercantile affairs. J us! Nt

A righteous judgment for ialiumsn
treatment was rendered a few days ago at
Tort Jervia, S. Y.,in a verdict of $5,000
against San ford Vail, ft farmer of Sosaex
county by David P. Clark, the guardian
of William Parson, aged 15, and a
younger brother, for inhuman treatment
to William. The lad will bo a cripple

The old Buckeye blacksmith, of the
Harrison hard-cider campaign, made a
republican speech in front of the court
house at Lcwistown, on Wednesday
evening 21.
The Ist Nat. Lank of Quincv. 111., has
suspended. Let Congress take such
measures as will suspend all these inter
est eating institutions, and the country
will save 23 millions per year. Green
backs instead of National bank no
tes.
All the reforms contended for by the
National*, were democratic planks long
before the Nationals were dreamed of.
and are yet-in the democratic platform
and have been sustained by the demo
crats in congress. Hence the true place
for a National is in the democratic par
te.
It may seem strange to some that the
Tnrko-Rnssian war having ended and
the Berlin conference carved up the
Turkey, that there should still be a lit
tle fighting after all, and with a new
party, Austria, which does not fipd it so
easy to occupy the slices of Turkey it
was awarded by the conference. One of
oar New York dailies explains this little
unpleasantness in the following: Eu
rope is finding that it was much easier to
draft the Berlin Treaty than to execute
it. Despite Lord Beaconsfield's consol
atory statements, the Ottoman Govern
ment regards the settlement with un
concealed disgust, and is in no hurry to
carry it into effect. It is, in fact, play
ing the same game with the Powers that
it did with Russia alone, when it signed
the San Stefano Treaty, and immediate
ly violated it in text and spirit Al
though nearly fire weeks have elapsed
since the signature of the Berlin Treaty,
the Porte has made little progress to
ward carrying it into effect. In dealing
with Austria especially it has been vexa
tionsly tardy, and it is thus largely re
sponsible for the bloodshed in Bosnia.
When the Berlin Congress proposed to
give Austria control of Bosnia, the Otto
mau representative declared he had 00
instructions on that point, bfct Prince
Bismarck told him the sooner he receiv
ed some the better. Finally the Turk
bowed to the decision of his "protectors,"
"and the treaty declared that "the pro
vinces of Bosnia and Ilentegovina shall
"be occupied and administered by Aus
"tria-Hungary. n Every one except the
Turks realised that this "occupation"
was meant to be permanent. Instead
of accepting the situation, loyally, the l
Porte has clung to the notion that it may
yet regain the forfeited provinces. If it
has not opeuly encouraged resistance, it
has done nothing to facilitate the ad
vance of the A-'-triane, who have been
for nearly three weeks endeavoring to
occupy provinces which they professed
to enter as friends. Fortunately for
themselves, they prepared for opposi
tion, and entered Bosnia almost as cau
tiously as if they were to encounter reg
ular armies. This prudence has been
attended with comparative success. The
capture of K*-rajevo on Monday gives
the Austrian commander a firm bold on
Bosnia. The insurgents must now dis
cern that farther resistance would be
useless, and that the Porte is utterly un
able to shield them, either by diploma
cy or treachery.
Col. I). G. Busb, one ofthe best posted,
and original greenback men of ttii%
county, does not think of joining a new
party, but will remain in the democratic
party, and fight it out there. Right—
and as we always said in the Reporter,
no greenbaeker need leave the party,
he is in better company where he is,
and will find his principles matched,
and if by his aid our party gets into full
power, it will enact such legislation
upon the currency question as will be
adjudged sound by any honest green
backer.

Catherine Buckley, a rich woman of one

Rome democrats felt alarm at tho Na- j
tional-grcenback movement, in this
county. Since that party has made its
local ticket, we think all alarm has van
ished—the nominations are not what
many were looking for—the best and
strongest men in the county. We never
had an idea that the greenback move
ment would hurt the democratic party,
unleaaourown convention would prove
unwise and nominate n weak and on
satisfactory ticket. We will know about
that in n few weeks.
We therefore again caution demot rats
about the importance of making a strong
ticket, compoaed of men who have th
confidence of the people, and whom the
people know they can trust. Such a
ticket will win regardless of any aide ar
rangements. But the people demand
good men. and they ask that the de
mand be respected, or they will make
themselves felt in a manner that will
convince men who will disregard the
popular clamor, that the people are in
earnest about it-
Yon can not drive WWW iutothe sup
port of anv kind of a ticket, that is evi
dent. and the popular murmennga
should Iw heeded as a fingerboard that
points the only toad to democratic suc
cess.

There was a triple execution at Bru

named John Lock I car and seil f-ockr

confederates, were hanged at 1 p. m. for
the murder of Frank Bruce, au Irish

made no confession and met their fate
calmly.

In Philadelphia they take it in water,
and in this way: Wm. H. McFadden,
Chief of the Water Department, charges
six clerks with systematic robbery
bv making false entries, fifteen thou
sand dollars have been traced and Chief
McFadden says the amount will proba
bly reach hundreds of thousands, and
that the robbery Las extended over a
period of ten years. The clerks have
been arrested.
In Massachusetts petitioners
ask Ben Butler to be a candidate for gov

In all the cities of the country funds

In the Tennessee republican state con
vention, last week, a resolution endors
ing Hayes was offered, and after pro
ducing a commotion, was withdrawn.
None so low as to do the great Fraudu
lent reverence, except a few post-mas
ters and thieving custom house offi-
nayes bad some of his followers in
New York holding a preliminary caucus
and demand a call for a state convention
a thing that Conkling does not wish to
have, and as he controls the state com
mittee it remains to be seen bow far
Hayes will succeed in driving Conkling.
There Is good prospect for a split as
Hayes will make every effort to defeat
Conkling'a re-election to the senate.
Things promise to get interesting in the
Empire state. The fraudulent President
is putting on the war paint and means to
meet the great New York Senator on
his own ground. Conkling whipped
Hayes out of his boots in the last re
publican state convention, and we think
the Fraudulent will find a big contract
on hand if he again enters the field
against the mighty Kascoe. Well.it is
none of our funeral.
Says the Tribune: Changes in the
methods of doing railroad business
which will be looked npon a* fairly rev
olutionary, are to be considered by the
conference at Saratoga. The gathering
is of such a site,, and the men who com
pose it are of such a rank as to show that
this conference has met for serious pur
poses, und may have most important re
sults. It is proposed to abolish commis
sions on passenger rates to close all
freight and passenger offices outside of
the depots, thus compelling the public
to transact its business directly with the
companies necessarily, to dismiss the
agents in all such offices, to prevent the
cutting of rates, etc. This is a large
scheme of reform. If it could be carried
ont, the companies would save millions,
no doubt, but it is not likely even to be
attempted in its entirety. Competition
is too keen to allow ail of these proposi
tions to be looked upon as practical.
It i not worth the bother on the part of
the republican* to run a candidate against
C. A. Mayer. Judge Mayer is o popular
in the district that an opponent would
hare to feel ashamed of the rote be would
receive. Judge Mayer'* term upon the
bench ba* been characterized by purity,
and the people of the district mean to
have him continued.
The National Committee of Clinton
county i* not at all satisfied with the ac
tion of tbß National county convention on
Congressman. Mr. T. P. Rynder was the
Congressional nominee, and bo was also
Chosen a conferee. The committee has
just held a meeting and resolved that the
position which Mr. ltynder hold* as a con
feree is vacant, and further, the resolution
recommending him as a candidate is "in
formal, out of order and void," as well at
several other things too numerous to men
tion. because the passage ol the resolution
"was procured by fraud and was Hctud
upon thoughtlessly ana without consider
ation. and the passage of wuich wus a
i burleiti upon the party, and such so
lution was out of order, being presented
after a motion to adjourn was before the
convention." AltogatUr we are inchncd

A party honors itself when it nomina
tes a man for office ho powessek pecu
liar qualifications for thejiosition, but a
party shows contempt for the people
when it nomiuates a man for a high
position who jxissfjsfes no qualifications
at all for the place.
Thus it is with the candidates for sec
retary of interna! affairs. The demo
cratic nominee, Mr. Africa, is a practical
surveyor and civil engineer of many
years experience, ilia profession has
made him familiar with surveys, land
titles, warrants, etc., railroads, mining
and all other interests connected with
the duties of secretary of the depart
ment of internal affairs.
Now for the contrast. Mr. Dunkle,
the republican nominee, is a printer and
editor and proprietor of a Sunday news
paper. After coming over all the news
papers published on thesis usual days
of labor he comes oat with his Sunday
issue and this is the only experience ue
has to qnalifly him for the head of the
important department for which he is
the republican nominee and candi
date!
It were a burlesque on common sense
to elect snch a man as Dunksl to such an
office.
JMFOSTASCB OF TUB KLECTIvX
From the Erie Gbserver,
The election this fall is the most im
portant and far reaching in results that
lias occurred in the State for a longtime.
On it will depend the political statu*
some of its departments for years. The
judg£ of the supreme court to be elected
will occupy a place on the bench for
twenty-one years, and dauuie the ooliti
cal complexion of that body for at least
tive years. By that time important con
stitutional questions will be adjudicated
and their decision w ill more or less gov
ern tho internal policy of the common
wealth for half a century. A governor
will be elected for four years and a lieu
tenant governor and a secretary of in
ternal affairs for the same time. The
legislature to be elected will choose a
United Mates senator in place of Don
Cameron; and one branch of it, at least,
will participate two years hereafter in
the choice ofanother I'nited States sena
tor to succeed Hon. Wm. A, \\ allace.
Hardly within a quarter ofa century has
so much depended on the result of a
State contest as on this. If the republi
cans are defeated the State is Henceforth
democratic and in IN*O will swing back
to her time-honored place as the key
stone of the democratic arch. At such a
time, and with so much at stake, it is the
snpremest folly for democrats to wander
from the fold and stray into the ranks
ofa third party, whether it assumes the
delusive guise of "Nationals" "Green
backers," or "Labor Reformers." -There
is not an essential measure of reform ad
vocated by either of these organisations
that the democrats have not since they
obtained control of one branch o_f con
gress on the first of December, IS< 5, en
deavored to have engrafted on the poli
cy of the country. That they have not
been more successful is because the sen
ate and executive fcaye Roth been in the
bands of their opponents. L)n the 4th
of March next the senate will be demo
cratic by ten majority ; and on the 4tb
of March two years thereafter the I'ressi
dent counted in by fraud will be super
ceded by one elected by the people.
With the dawn of a better day so near
at band, what democrat will falter, or,
in pursuit of the ignus fatuus of third
party ism, aid the republicans to main
tain'their ascendency in Pennsylvania,
aud give to the Camerons a new lease of
power ?
Governor Hartranfl has appointed B,
S. Be lit ley, of Williamapoft, Judge o!
the new Lackawanna county.
The previous reports of a revolution
in St. Domingo are fully confirmed. The
eastern part of the republic had also
risen, and the revolutionary forces were
marening upon the capital. The repub
lic is in a very distracted condition, and
the* tall of Gonzalez is considered inevi

THE SOUTHS CALAMITY.
THE FEVER AMONG THE NEGROES
Dreadful Scenes in the i\fflicled
KegioD.
Nothing could be imagined more ter
rible than the scenes daily occurring at
Grenada, Mississippi. Tho town is as
much isolated ns if it was in a great de
sert. The railroad trains dash through
jt at the rate of twenty five miles an
hour. peculiar phase of the fever
is that all the cases occuring have prov
ed fatal. A Herald correspondent, in
the town or its vicinity, telegraphed as
follows Hunday evening:
The city of Grenada is built on a hill
and hi jp appearance one of the prettiest
towns on Uus ypad. A dreary, desolate
appearance has taken possession of the
whole place and the faces of thpao per
sons remaining in the village present a
terribly sad and forlorn appearance.
Whole families have been swept away
by tine terrible scourge. The fever is
considered to be of local origin and was
caused by the opeiI;/£ of an old sewer
which had been cloßed foryy&fS. At first

Terrible Ravages of the Faver at
Matauzss.
Captain A lon so Sbute says: "1 never
again want to see the siehls I wittK4*od
when t reached ktauiuss. 1 was there
about a week and left there on the tith of
this month. Kvery building seemed a
la/.ar house where men were continually
carrying in the sick and taking out the;
dead. The first night 1 spent in the fever
stricken city served to show me the situa
tion in all its horror*. As 1 went up to
my room in the hotel where I put up |saw
a man lying on hi* hod in

the black vomit in his throat and nmulh.

fin containing a dead boy. When I got
down stairs f taw two wagons drawn up
before a side door. They were half full of
coffins containing the bodies of those who
had died through the night. The next
night I steered clear of the hotels and went
to sleep in a ship chandler's establishment
Here 1 found the place equally as bad as
the hotel. It was full of the sick and dy
ing. As soon as the sea.nen of the Latie
were able to sail I left (he plate in com

This, at I said before, was on the Bth ef

It is not eatv to get out of Grenada, not
withstanding hundreds have accomplished
the feat. An area of several miles around
is deserted, but the boundaries of that
space are closely watched by frightened
inhabitants, who drive hack fugitives if
they can. Much heartlessness is shewn.
The man who gave the above account of a
night in Grenada says that a woman, I
whose husband had died, started far the
country, leading her six-year-old boy.
She was tired out with nursing her hus
band, but she rushed on for two miles,
and then carried the child two more. Then
she was met by some negroes, who com
manded her to turn back, saying that they
would kill her it she did not obey. They
doubtless would have catried out their
threat; at least the poor woman thought
to. She returned to Grenada. The ne
groes' fears were well founded, however,
for the had scarcely got back to ber home
when the fever was fully developed in her,
and she died Some ot the planters have
humanely received all refugees, and turn
ed their houses and barns into free lodg
ings ; but generally terror has mattered
genepous impulses, particularly among the
blacks. A negro camp meeting, ten mile*
sway, bat been ccnlinuod, and tbo peni
tents crowd each other at the altar, so anx
ious are they to become converts before
the fever kifls theui,
The medical men found that the disease
was indeed yellew ferer, bul of such a ter
rible aort that it waa aomeibinjc practically
new to them- They think that the foul
ness of Grenada lent to it a malarial rle
in en I, makine it resist the treatment that
ordinarily is in some degree efficacious.
Those who did not die lomained sick, not
one patient recovering. Commonly, yel
low fever U abrupt in lU aUaok, there be
ing no preliminary symptoms. There is,
first, a chill, then fever of more or lets in
tensity, accompanied by paiji in the legs
arid loins, and continuing from a few hours
to three days. Next, if ever, convale
scence ensue*. None of the eases in Gre
nada ended at that stage. Some oi the
patients were simply left in prostration
from which they have not yet recovered ,
but in most instances the distinctive vet
lowness of the skin came on, followed by
the vomiting of blood, called black Tomit,
and exhaustion. AH of the physicians
sent from Memphis were allopathic. They
adhered to the usual troalmenl, which does
not embrace any specially curative reme
dies, but consist* of complete rest, induced
by opiate*. Alcoholic stimulant is given
in the stage of exhaustion. Une physician
says thai the Grenada patients are evident
ly much affected by fright. They have no
hope of recovery, and their lack of cour
age is a serious hindrance of recovery.
They suffer a mental as well as physical
coilapsc. Especially is this true of the ne
groes. to whom the disease is a horrifying
surprise. Negroes have been regared at
almost invulnerable to yellow fever, and
have rarely died of it. The Grenada ne
groes were fearlefi, r,d during thfi first
week of tho pestilence not one was strick
en. The first among them to fall ill, ac
cording to Dr. Spencer, who attended bim,
was slow to believe that he really had yel
low fever, and, when be was convinced,
he said that it was entirely unnatural, be
ing a special punishment for his robbery
of a white patient He died, and terror
seized upon all the blacks in the place.!
They had done much of the nursing with
out hesitation, bul now they deserted their
post# ic dismay. As many as fifty negroes
were prostrated during the night of the
'JOtb. It seems to be beyond Question that
many of the patients in Urenaak dio gritk-j
out attendance since the fever broke out l
among the negroes. Several of tho expe
rienced Howard Association nurses have
fallen, and that makes all nervous and dis
heartened. Dr. Wilklnt, a New York
Ehysician, who chanced to stop there, went
ravely to work. He caught the fever,
and on Wednesday died-
One of the few living witnesses of the la
ter scenes in Grenada has arrived in Cin
cinnati. He says that the little village is
utterly desolate. Everybody whe remains
is either sick or is kept there by duty. All
the rest have fled or died. Entire families
have been blullgj put in a day by the dis
ease. There, as in New Orlpani, wan.pn
and children are almost disproportionate
ly numerous among the victims, their or
ganizations being generally less able than
thoso of men to withstand the exhaustion
of the disease. At night a walk through

cries of delirious patients can bo heard at
every turn. Nor are all the outcries those
of delirium The negroes give up all hope
on falling sick, and excilealy call on God
and mad for btlp, '-sing tboir needed
strength in doing to." Tffoy wiii pot bo
controlled by physicians or nursos. The
white women, on the contrary, are the
most quiet and obodient of tbo patients as
long as they retain their reason. The dead
bodies are buried as soon as possible after
death, and in some instances, this inform*
ant believes, persons are startod for their
graves before they are really dead. The
urying it done by two relays of negroot,
one working by nigbl and the other by
day. The neadquarlprs of the Howard
Association and the telegraph office are
the only businosi placet kept open. The
latter it in charge of an operator named
William Kcdding. He sent to Now Or

came; but Miller was appalled by what
ho saw and refused to stay. No attempt is
mado to hold religious services over tho
dead, and, with rare exceptions, no coffins
are used. All it dark at night except in

SKNATOH TUURMAN ON TIIKOI'R
KKNCY.
Kvtrect from Senator Thurman'* racent
•peaoli at Hamilton, Ohio i
I \t hen the cutrancy part of the platform
is carefully icrutlniaed, it will be found
I that iu principal feature I* the proposed
substitution of greenback* for national
| benk-noies 1 think that Ido them no In
justice when 1 *ay that the leader* of the
Kepublicaa party are in favor of directly
the oppoiite course that I* to ay, they
] would retire all the greenback* In order
.that their place* might l>e tilled with ne
jtional bank-note*. Let either rourva be
taken end the metallic money of tba eoun
'try remain tha same U*e either kind of
paper and tha ameunt af coin In actual
circulation, apart from the imall coin*
uied for change, will ha comparatively
•mall, lo long a* $1 and 9? and $5 nola*
>nro Iroaiy waited, for *uch note* a!way*
drive coin out of circulation. And when
'ever conversion into coin i* practicable
and desirable, it will be just a* easy to
convert greenbacks m tu convert benk
note*, The question then I* narrowed
down to this, shall our paper money be
national benk-nole* or greenbacks? Far
several reason* that I will briefly slate, 1
thick that the latter are preferable.
1. In the first place, a national bank
currency means the indetsdt* perpetua
tion of the tsaliqpid debt. The national
hanks, so tar as their circulation is con
cerned, are founded on tbet debt. It is
the security for their notes ; and whenev
er the debt be paid the bank* must retire
! their circulation and cease V" Usue auk*.
In order, tu peipetuate their
privilege of issuing note*, they must strive
\o perpetuate the national debt. And you
may rest assured that they will do so ; and
'.be influence of more lhaa two thousand
such institutions, spread all over'Jne coua
try, will be very powerful Indeed.
Now, 1 ant imt ana uf those who believe
that a national debt is a national blessing.
I believe that the reverse of this is true,
and that such a debt is a national curse.
To say nothing of its corrupting influence*,
it* drain of tho resource* of the people to
pay interest i* fearfully oppressive, espe
cially when a large portion of the debt n
held abroad It is true that the national
debt cannot be speedily paid, but we ought
not to put unnecessary obstacles ia the
way of its payment. The national bank
note* are *uck aa obstacle and for that
reason are objectionable. Your platform
| wisely advocate* "the gradual esliaction
lof the public debt." It thus favor* its
' honest payment, and oppose* its indefinite
1 perpetuation. And in strict harmony with
ibis principla. It condemns a* bank-not*
system that tend* to perpetuate it.
9. A second objection to the national
i bank system is thst it tends lo combine,
j concentrate and intensify the money pow
er. I shall indulge in no declamation
I against the money power. I seek to ex
{cite no passion, no prejudice. 1 wish U
reason fairly, and I wish you tojudge fair
ly. And 1 do reason fairly when I say
that in view of the undoubted feet that dur
ing the whole period uf the unlimited sway
of the Republican party the legislation e!
Congress steadily favored the moneyed in
terest and thereby greatly added to tht
I I burthens of the people ; that the purchas
ing power of money has immensely in
creased while the exchangeable or pur
chasing power of everything else hat re
mained stationary or hat diminished ; and
in view of the further fact that the national
bank system confers special privileges up
on the banks that ao other institution! and
no Individuals enjoy; that it combines
more than two thousand institutions now,
and, if perpetuated, may combine tbous
andt more, in a common purpose and with
! a common interest to maintain their pow
| or and prolong their privilege* ; that these
j institutions are scattered all over the re
public. and, acting openly or in secret, are
'able to influence legislatures, congresses
' and thousands of voters ; U is not injustice,
' but, oa the oontrery, it is the eapretsion cf
a wise aniiety to suggest that such a syt
| torn is fraught with danger to the prosper
• ity of the people and t the purity ot their
I government. If, in the lime of Andrew
' Jackson, the existence of a national bank
j with a capital of only J-tfI.OOO.OOU and a few
I branches here and there was considered
dangerous to the welfare and the institu
tions of the country, what shall we say of
i a wide-spread combination ot 2,000 nation
al banks, now wielding nearly
000 of capital, and destined, if perpetuat
ed, to vastly multiply In number and to
!control thousands of millions?
'I 3. A third objection to the natianal bank
circulation ii that it if a special privilege
1' that putt many milliant of dollar* annual*
* ly into the pock.U of the (barcboldar* and
[ take* many million* annually out of tba
]' pocket* of the people. The general rule i*
- that a par*on payi interest qpon what be
I owe* ; but, in Ibe ca* of * bank-note, tbi*
. rule i* revred. The noto u a dabt dua
. by ibe bank, but in*lead of paying inter*
* e*t upon it, the bank i* aulboriaed to loan
I it a* money, and take Interest upon tba
p loan. It thu enjoyi a prjyilege that no
r ona eiie enjoyi. It draw* interest upon
* it* own indebtedne**, and tbi* privilege of
r the national banki bring* them an annual
* income of probably f A), 000,000. Their eg*
' gregate circulation is, in round number*,
\ W2J,000.000. I think it may be reesona*
I bly asfutpgw that 900,000,000 of those note*
- are loaned at an everago rate of interest
" of at least 7 per cent. If io, the annual in*
i terestthey receive from tba loan, not of
t money, not of capital, but of their own
* indebtedness, ii 521,00,000. And tbi*
turn i taken out of the annual product of
. the country, before that product i* divided
* between labor and capital. The general
' rule i, that the product of human indus*
, try it ultimately divided between labor
* and capital: but whan a bank-note circu
-1 latiQT} i* qspd the banks first step in, and,
by virtue of their special privilege, lake #
i large slico in the shape of Interest upon
* their own indebtedness. In tbe case of
j our national banks, thii slice, a* we have
l seen, amount* to S'2I,OOO,(XW every year.
5 Now, if vhero can be no sound paper cur*
? rency but banknotes, then thcro is noth*
I iog left for u* but to bear this burthen er
j try to reduce the amount of tbe exaction.
> But if tbe greenback if as gopd a the
' baak*noto, and nobody aoufes that it if,
I why should it not be substituted for the
r bank-note and an end put to the exaction?
' The greenbacks now outstanding
| amount to Computing in*
terest upon this sum at tbo lowest rate at
' which the Government can borrow mon*
' ey, 4 per cent., and we have an annual
! saving to the people, raqlt|ng from the
I use of the greenback, of #13,807,240. But
' if greenbacks were substituted for the
1322,000,000 of national bank*notas now
I outstanding, there would boa Airtber sav.
1 ing to tbo people of 4 per cent, annually
1 on that sum, namely. $12,888,000 making
a total annual saving by the use of tbo
greenback of $26,747,240. From this, how
ever, deduct the taxes en their circulatian
paid by tbp thanks, amounting to about
W. 000,000 annually, and tho net saving
would bo about $23,780,000. Perhaps, in
strictness, this deduction for taxes ought
not to be made, for it i probable that the
banks throw the burden of the taxation
upon their customers, who in turn shift it
to the shoulders of those with whom they
deul, until, like ail other taxation, it final- ,
ly falli upcji f|ie grext body of consumers, \
tbo peop)e.
I have giypn yoq, fellqv-ojtijens,
some reasons in fsvor of substituting green-
A
backs for bank-notes. 1 now proceed to
consider tbe only objection to tbe substitu-
tion that seems to have much weight. It t
It laid (lint If greenback* WIT* to coniti
tute our only paper currency it* volume
would depend upon th.<acUon ofOongreae,
and not upan the natural law* of trada.
and that at Congreae la liable to bo influ
oncod by popular fooling on tha on* band
or tha art* and appliance* of rpecial inter
ili on tha other, tbo currency would ba
•object to Inflation or contraction, a* eith
er influenco might prevail, to a degree that
would be rulnotn to buainaia and pro*pT
ily. In anawer t* this objection, and ad
milling that It la not without force. I have
Ito aay, In the flrtl place, that It U equally
potent whether our papar currency b"
groenhocki aiclwaivaly or bank-n>t- eg
• luaivoly: for, lot it bo tbo ono or tbo oth
or, Congroaa would bava the power to ei
i and It or contract it at will. For In
•tanca, wara Congraaa to ropaal tha taa on
Ntato bank circulation, a multitude of
banka would apring up under HlaVo law*
and a groat Inflation of tba currency would
take place. On tbo other hand, ahauld
t'ongreaa retain that tea and retire tha
greenback*, at tba Republican financier*
demand, a frightful contraction would re
sult. In brief, if Oongraat abould have'
. neither aenta nor honetty, it might, for the'
time being, ruin the country • but to a*-!
utn* that it would do to would be to coo-l
damn our form of government.
Hut our platform squarely meets this 1
difficulty. It condemn* contraction on the
one bend or "kiting' 1 on the other. Itde-'
mend* that "the amount of such issues
greenbacksi be so regulated by legisla
tion or organic law a* lo give the people,
an assurance ot stability in volume of cur
rency and coneequent stability ef value,"
an.l, in unmistakable terms, it oppose* the
demonetization, or dilute, of the precious
metal*. Could anything, I appeal to you,
be more conservative than this, if conser
vatism means to oonserve the interests of
