Tbe (! rinaniu powers, under thu lead ot liii-mur. k, in thu intervals of Ihu creditor clasa have also attempted, by enactment, the deuionelimllull uf sil ver. What Is ihu result ? Two bun. I red millions of dollars of silver have beun wilbdrawn. In a measure, from circula tion. Alter tb. war wilb Franca, re ceiving Irom that power an Immense sum of money aa an tdeinnity, which being placed in circulates adding largely to tb. wolam. of twrrcnoy, all manner of tradca asd boiloeia began CLEARFIELD, to flourish. Wagei advanced, employ inunt of Iubor inurouHud, and lb" de mand was such as lo not alone stop umigralion to this and other countries, but also to force a return flow of many who hud vmigialed to other lunds in the hope nl improving their condition Since the demonetization ot silver and ibu consequent destruction uf pari ol thu currency of tbuir country a rutro grude movement bus tukun place in thu industrial pursuits of thai people. The aame shrinkage in values lias oc curred thut have characterized this country consequent upon tbe deatruo tion ol part of our currency. Wages buvu aguin decreased, business has 1)0 como stagnant, and general depression of business affairs and ruin of commer cial ventures baa been the result. Whenever among tbe nations ot tliu earth history, past or present, Kiinls ils unurnng finger ait a guvvrunvunt which bus deliberately dustroyud tbu money uf its people, it alike reoords tbe fuel ol its I'ommt-rciul prostration aud industrial decay. Crime flourishes, and virtue Indus its bead. Thu music ol the mill is bushed inllie cry ol dis tress. Hunger aud poverty strike bard blows, Tbu voices ot starving hundreds pierce the walled houses of kings. Wrecks of savings-banks, in surance and trust compunies whose mime)' has been garnered from the pisir; ruin of corporations which had employed a vut aniount of Iubor in tliu coiisirutction of works of internal improvement ; private credit cuuvuls ed, shattered, anil lorn to aloms; pov erty, want, und suicide, aud tbu mon uincnts thai history builds to tlio na Hons who have strangled their peo ple's inilur.tries, and ure the mile stones tiiut murk the golden road to restimp lion. Mr. Speukur, the demonetization ol silver docs not uffect the bondholder with bis untaxed millions, nor the crudilor cIubs with its recorded mort gsges upon thu tnnns, hinds, und in duaiiiul pursiiils of thu nuiion. It af fects lliu debtor class, tbut class which plows and plants, which builds and benutiflus, and pro-pers most whin peace and plenty abound in the land , thut cluss who live by tbe una and trades of man, who "lilt the lever and move I bo shuttle," who delve in Ihe earth amid its treasures and unloirse ils rocky rivets, who lay tha iron ur teriea of trade and push forward our itilund commerce, who level the for ests and build cities, who erect sign boards of prosperity every where in the broad land, and make the world and mankind butler for having lived in it This is the ( luaa that this uct unporur-ir-hes; the cluss of no hereditary priv ileges or cntuiled eatnles, bill only Mich us it carves out of bountiful na ture by ita skill and labor; tbu cluss whoso greatest cupitul is ils bonu and sinew, its inlulligunce und industry. In this hour of its peril it is the duly of the country, through ils luw-tnakurs, to come to ils assistance by undoing that unwise legislation which has op erated so fatally against its interests. If you destroy this class of citizens you urush the firmest element in the construction of the social fuhrio, an olement upon which tbu country al ways relies in the hour of its peril; not only does it creuto great victories by the una of peace and give strength lo tbe government, but amid the smoke ami flame of war it is the cluss thai stands lirniust in ihe sins k of but tle. Crush this element of a nation's strength by ruinous legislation and reduce it 10 pauperism aud you will by tbe saino luw impoverish the nation. from a nation of freemen glorying in thepiiduand strength of their coun try yon will create a nation of serls. slavva of Ihe money power whose chains uie lightly riveted. Instead of the citizen honored and tree, walking erect among his fellow men. conscious of his own strength and security, proud of his country and its institutions, he will crouch al the leel of bis money lord, beurt-brokun, and famished with poverty and toil. Let us not by any act ol ours, as thu represenlutivus of the people, uid in establishing such a condition of socie ty. The wrecks of nations oncu great and proud be all ulong the shores of ln-lol v. crushed by those who ruled in lliu interest of class. It lias been ssserted here during ibu discussion of this question that thu act duiiioiieliziug silver waa not only a breach of the Const il lit ion und u fraud lipn tbepeo plu by depriving ihum ol one ol their constitutional coins, but that it was also a fraud on posterity by the ul lempl to iucreusu the national debt which would be theirs by inheritance. Thu people have vested constitutional right in the money ol their counlry. Ihu C'oiisiiiuiion ol the United Slates in the use of the word "money" 111 article 1, section 8, means both uf the precious mcluls, and Ihu power to regulate tbe mine thereof with any other meaning would bu uburd. Tbu power to regulate the ta'uo of money would not buve been enjoined upon Congress bad it not meant bol'i gold and silver, (iold und silver constitu ted the money of the country at that lime as ildid ol the commercial world. Kiiailuinl did not dcmonclizu silver un til 18(19 - It is certainly a violation of j.-.v.. u- .-.)-- -1. - by any act of Congress, us it deprives tbu people ol one of their vested rights. The Tweiity llisl Congress of ihe Uni ted Stulva appointed a select commit tee lu "consider the statu of the cur rency." lu the report submitted to Congress tbu lullowing lunguago oc cur. : Tba Conalitutioa of the United Suiee evident ly eonleiuplalea ia Ibe power sitnlerred upoa rbta gorerBraeat 10 ei.iB money, regulate Vim vol a thereof, aad of foreign aula, aa J tba rMtrtctitB impoaed opoB iba Miatva 10 ranke boibing but gold aad ailver oniu a lender ia payaieat ol debt a, that tba Boaey if tbla country auall be gold and ailrar.

PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1878. ginning of our grcatem prosperity, we hud a circulating medium of upward of f 2 000.OOU.tlUO including oertiflt alui ol indebtedness, compound iiiterust notes, fractional currency, and nulionul bunk noies and greenback!. In 1875, ten years later, ere had a circulating medium of lesi than (800, (100,000, being a reduction in a period of tun year, of more than $1,000,01)0. 000. Ot course tbe shrlnkugo of value consequent upon this wholesale de struction of the people'a money wai very great in all klndi ol property ex cept that ot tbe bondholder, which in creased in value. Notwithstanding this enormous reduction, the act uf 1875 decreed a Mill further reduction by provitling for the redumption of I'ruct ionul currency until the whole amount outstanding sluill be reduemed, anil also the redemption of legal ten der, before, January .J, ..18711, until there shall bu outslunding but S300, 000,000 of inch legal-tenders and no more. Under the provisions of this act nearly 1100 000 000 of the circu lating medium, including fractional currency, have been dustmyed. .Should lliu act become etfuciuul what tbe re sult must be can he imagined when, as gold will not in all probability enter into the circulating medium and silver demonetized, uur wbolu circulating currency will consist of the remaining legul lenders and national bank notes. Tliu inevitable result of such action will be pauperism and repudiation. Rtil il was never intended by tbu Irumursol tbu aut ol 18U2 thai gave us Ihe 5 20 bonds that they should bu redeemed in coin. During the candidacy of General Grunt for the Presidency it was charg ed upon the fltsir of this House by Mr. Ross, of Illinois, that if Grunt wus elected the Republican parly, ut llio instance uf the money lords of the laud, on Id enact a law making their bonds payablu in coin.

A few weeks ainre a resolution waa introduced in tb.

The great ques tion of labor with ita collateral banes underlies the foundation Of all human happiness and prosperity. Man by his organization is un active being. He was created to labor. He is born with wuiits that can ulone be suurficd by labor; and thu gratification of bia iiul urul desires is Ihu highest incentive to honest toil. By the exercise of his bruin, by arts unj machinery, he con stantly endeavors to promote bis well being, improve hn condition ; and that keun) him alwaya in a state of wunl.

The spirit ol civilization awakened in Wuslurn Europe toward Ibe close of tbe tilteenlh cenluiy developed the ele ments of power und thu ingenuity of labor that discovurud a western empire sullied by hard toil and in the face of extraordinary difficulties and dungcrs. lis purullul in Intensity ot action bus not been found ill history. Under the stimulus ot our true insti tulioits, what has been thu slow work of twu thousund years in Europe has been performed here in two centuries III thu Old World men were born to wealth which they could not alienale or lo poverty from which they could not escape. Under our Kcpublicau form of government the dignity of Iu bor wus established and the equality ol manhood preserved, from the trials and bardshiHt ot the Revolution came that principle which, embodied in the chat ter of uur freedom, bus crealec1 an empire in which honest labor is ihu foundation ot social and polilicul pros perity uml where all men are sover eigns. We realize that we live in an ugu ol improvement, in which investi gation ia active and mccesslul and In which what haa already lieen accom plished is but the brilliant promise ul what ia yet to be iicriormcd. In this Democratic and industrial age, bow ever, il is impossible to cull a nation wealthy and iiroanerouao hecaus vast capital is in Ibe bands and under tbe control of a lew individuals, when the masses ol the people are struggling tur existence. 1 lie great problem ol inoo ern slutesmunsbip ia to determine the question of the rewards of labor Tbe leudal uge bas lurevcr passed, wnen governments weru urgumzed to inuin luiu in idleness fuvoi ed subjects through tbu toil and sweat uf tbu masses.

Ibe developments ol our agricultural industries have been unprecedented in the history of ibe world.

Anil thesalvation ol our country to day depends upon the tillers of the soil. No farmer can alford tu sell his wheat and torn and and oats; ha should sell horace no rials ; shevp, rattle and pork not corn. He should make every profit possible. Another thing. It is just as cheup to ruiso a gmsl breed of cattle us a bad breed ; scrub, will eat just as much as tboruiightred. If yon are not able 10 buy Alderneya and Durham, then you can raise the corn breed. Ry corn breed 1 ineun those tattle that bavo enough tu eat and are treated wilh kindness. Every farmer who will Iced his cattle with all they can eal, and treat them with kindness, in a few year will have blooded slock on hi farm. In tbe old lime! when 1 was a farmer, not a tree wai set out once in ten years : not a grape vine was plan- led, and about tbe house not a flower could be seen ; when you wnnl lo their bouaes you wore not uy tloweri ana tree loaded with fruit, but by yellow dnga that rain, bounding over the worm-lenc. hk. wild beasla. 1 am not ona of those who think that In or ler to raias bogs yon must be on. Put eq ' clean clothoi, Uka t seat in thi tarif under the trooi, and amidst tb per-' turn, of flowere, (urrounded by yonr family, and you will know what It Is to led hku a gentleman.

In this ag.nf tha aie 01 ine night ana begin me This getting up so early in ihe mom ing i a rcliu of barbarism. It haa made hundred! and thousands ol young men cur, llio business. There is no need of geiting up at 8 or 4 11'c Ock in a 'winia.r mcniw, The. farmer whn per sist in doing il, and persists in drag; ging his wile ami children from the'ir" beds, ought to be visitod by a mission ary. For what purpose do vnu get up? To feed the cut lie? vVhy mt Iced them more the night belore? It is a wuste of life.

It take far more sense to be an excellent cook than a tolerable lawyer. 1 am a good cook myself, and I buve no accomplishment of which I am so proud. The farmer! should have good things to cook, and good things to cook wilh. Throw your mil erublu little atoves out of the window. Get ranges, and bavo them so built that your wile need not burn her lace off 10 gel you your bruakfust, Co not make her cook iu a kitchen hot ai an orthodox perdition. It ia just aieasy to cook well 'as to cook any other way. There ought to be a law passed mak ing it a crime, punishable wilb impris onment in thu penitentiary, to fry beef steak. Uroil it ; it ii just as easy ; and when broiled it ia delicious. Fried beefsteak isn't tit for a beast. (Jive your wives and daughter the conveniences, and in a little while they will be excellent cooks. Good cooking is one of the highest aria of civilization. Thu man who invented a good soup did mure lor his race than tbeinvontur of any system ot theology. You must remember that if you wish your wile to cook well aha must have tbe con venience! to cook with. In olden times there wnuld be eleven children in the family and only one skillet, and they generally depended upon what lew boards they could tear off the bouse for kindling. Seo to it that there is plenty ot good wood, plenty of good coal, plenty of good kindling ond plenty tu cook. There ia no reason why tanners should not have fresh meat all the yoar round. There is nn sense in sin fling yourself with salt meat every morning and making a well of yourself for the balance of the day and then wonder why you don't enjoy good u'1- 1,0 no1 buddle together in a little room around a red-hot etovc, wilb every window fastened down. Do not lire in the poisoned air, and then when one of your children die put a piece in the pa per, commencing wilb "Where as it hath pleased Providence toromovo from our midst ." Have plenty of air and plenty of warmth. Let your children sleep. Do not drag them f mm their beds in tho darkness of Iho night. ctK luxury and effeminacy among tb. well toio young women of our American cities and largo towns. They do not realize how this dreadltil mania for ex pensive pleasures, and a lite of alter nate idleness and amusement, il de stroying their health, abolishing true marriage, leetling the flume of gross sensuality and Intemperance among young men, and saddening the hopes ol the best parents in tbo land. 60m. of them will nuver know it in tbia world But most of Ibem bave no reul purpose to waste their live! in thi wretched way. And it ii a high crime in mothers, teachers, ministers of religion and tho public press to pan der to this insanity. Thousand! of good hearted young girls are sacrificed every year when a lillle wise and lov ing guidance could lave them. But we feel that they abould be told that unless they change this life they will pas away like the flowers of Juno, and a more bardy and resolute clasa occupy their places. American socie ty will shed every clasa of triflora, male or female, that does not do ita work, as tho forest abed their withered leaves. Let them awake from their dream of lociul indulgences ; loarn to live out ol doors; to build np their health ; to cultivate more simple tastea in dress, and muro moderation in pleas ure; study domestic economy; aiuoy Bociul skill and tact; fit themselves for ti,0 noblcat position! ever yet otlerca to their sex, and learn that woman ia the soul of American life, not the tin sel on its garment.
