Tho Republican Connly Convention
will Ixs held on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 1878.
Tho primary elections will bo held on Satur
day, Sept. 14, 1S78, under the direction of
the members of tho County Committee in
the different districts.
The Governor has appointed B. 8. Bent
ley, of Willinmsport, to bo Judge ol the new
county of Lackawanna. Judge Bentley is
61 years of age. lie was appointed Presi
dent Judge of Lycoming county in 1808, by
Gov. Geary, but defeated in the election for
the full term held the same year. Several
years ago he beacamoa Grecubacker; and
he was nominated in May last by the Greenback-Labor
party for Judgo of the Supremo
Court, but declined tho nomination, while
admitting that lid was in full harmony witli
the party.
Tho editor of the patent Grcenbackcr in
his last issue, in commenting upon the ac
tion of tho Edwards wing of tho Greenback
party, hits tho nail ou the head as follows:
" But as men do not work without an ob
ject thcro is evidently ono in this scheme,
probably a parly not big enough to win is
large enough to sell well. It lias ever been
tho disgrace of tho Labor Reformers in this
county that there werea fewlradersamongst
them, who wero willing to dicker with tho
other parlies and did invariably do it ; as
the records show."
This no doubt fits both factions of tho
parly, and it is In our estimation simply an
obtu.o way tho editor has of informing tho
two old parties that if they only offer a suffi
cient inducement in greenbacks, the vole, of
his portion of the party may and can ho so
cured for tho tide having, tho largest pile to
" sock over." It'mSUhot bo so.'but it looks
very like it "toainan up a tree." What

Points lit l'olillcs.
Tho Republicans in several Southern
States are pooling their differences.

hungry man needs meat instead of wind
from Kcamoy."
On dit that the Thurman canvass for
1880 has begun in Washington, so as to be
ahead of any Tilden effort.
Some of the Western journals think
Kearney would make a delightful Minister
to China, if Butler could bo mado President.
Tho lido is turning in Mfiine. Many
who were at first inclined to new doctrine
are returning lo tho support of lionest money.
Chicago Timet ((lcm.)i "Murat llal

Mr. Alexander II. Stephens of Georgia
has obtained the nomination of tho Demo
cratic Convention in his district for reelec

Washington JVaf : "In almost every
Northern Slato tho radical party has been
thrown into angry, violent recrimination by
the question of indorsing Hayes."
At last week's Republican convention
in Chester, Pa., a sieaker casually alluded
to Grant as n possiblo candidate in 18S0,and
was at once interrupted by a storm ofop-

and sufferings it entails, and can only bo
amused to a tardy and feeblo performance
of duty by tho lashings of the press and in
dignation of tho people, is an evil to bo
eliminated by heroic remedies when others
fail."
Baltimore Cazatte:" Ex-Doorkeeper
Pulk has broken looso in a private letter.
He remarks .-'Our Demooratio friends had
better tie un their aorn heads and come to
gether like a band of iolilleal brothers and
do no act to throw away ths prizo they shall
surely attain If they net together harmon
iously. No man has. been treated worso

Kuts Tor Grcenbnckers to Crnclt.
Tun New York Post says when Mr. Hew
itt's committee asked Mr. Pilot Commission
er Marshall what ho would do with his
bonds and greenbacks " if thcro was unlimi
ted paper money issued," that official ans
wered, " I would chango them into gold at
onco and tuko the first ctcamer for Europe."
If Mr. Maishall was early in the market ho
might convert his paper without great loss,
but men who came lutcr might not faro so
well, while tho poor, who could not tnako
the exchange at all, and who could not go
out of the country, would be at tho mercy of
the monstrous violation of economic law
and common sense. Yet it is in the Interest of
this helpless class that the advocates of the
greenback delusion profess lo bo working.
If a 4 per cent Government bond sells at
par now because it is non-taxable what
would it sell for if it was taxed say n quarter
of one per cent a year? To this inquiry the
New York Pout says, this would reduce the
rate of interest to 3 per cent, and if the
bond were sold nt all it would have lo bo
sold, say, at ninety-four cents on the dollar,
Now, will some of llio labor agitators who
ore ranting about taxation of Government
bonds tell what earthly difference it makes
to the peoplo whether they take this (i per
cent dill'eieiico by yearly taxation from tho
bondholders or take it in n lump in the
shape of an increased price for tho bonds?
Exactly tho same law holds in recpect to tiie
bonds purchased ten years ago, but, whether
it holds or not, those bonds aro now funding
so rapidly that the most critical of agitators
will scarcely find a peg on which to hang an
argument lor taxation.
Ex-Secretary Boutwem., when discuss
ing tho financial question, openly invites
any ono intheaudiencctoask himqucstions.
A Grecnbacker, tho other day, is reported to
havo improved thisopportunitjvind learned
a good deal moro than ho ever knew before.
Mr. Boutwell asked what tho greenbacks,
which their advocates demand, should bo
redeemed in. Tho GrcenbaeUer 6aid, "Re
deem them like gold and silver." "Which
is not at all," responded Mr. Boutwell. "In
no place on this earth is a man bound to re
deem n cold or silver dollar. They repre
sent their own value." Then the Green
backer asked to bo told the difference be
tween a gold and a paper dollar, and he was
silenced permanently by this answer: "Gold
and 6ilver aro money" because they have
money in them and there is a limit to tho
supply, and to tho labor it costs to produco
them. Willi tho 100,000 printing presses in
the country there is no limit to the supply
of paper currency. Tho effect of sucli an
increase of currency will work on no class
as bad as tho poor man. Tho ricli men will
Invest their money carefully and not keep
it, but the laborer's wages will grow less and
less. Labor advances last and talis first. No
more fraudulent pchemoto rob the poor man
can be thought of."
The Boston Journal of Commerce says : A
fact from tho report of the valuation of un
Essex County (Mass.) town '? important. I'
ll a town of some five thousand inhabitants
a manufacturing town, whoso residents
aro largely of tho mechanic class an ave
rage community of the New England type.
Of tho sixteen hundred resident taxpayers,
moro than nino bundled p.iid taxes on real
or personal propeity, mostly on houses or
land. And included among this class of
taxpayers there is a considerable proportion
of Mr. Kearney's countrymen steady,
irugai, lnuusinous irishmen, who, ui;o Mi:
Kearney himself, have saved their earnings
instead of wasting them upon their vices.
Tho local savings bank in this town has moro
than fifteen hundred depositors. This will
illustrate to Mr. Kearney tho difficulty which
will be experienced in amusing the people
of Massachusetts to "crush the capitalists."
The peoplo are tho capitalists. The frugal,
hard-working man who bus laid up money
enough to buy a littlo homo of his own isn't
easily persuaded to volo with and for men
who, it successful, would make him less se
cure in the possession of his home and tho
iiuio projioriy no nan, vriin inlinito toil nri
economy, laid aside lor old age. The Bocial
atmosphere isn't adapted to that kind of a
movement, and however much progress it
may iniiico in llio largo cilies.llcaunotsweep
tho State as some would havo it believed
that it will. Theallianco between the labor
ing classes and the capitalists in such a con
test is not ono of fear on the part of tho form
er, but one wholly of Interest. When llio
men who have nothing "pool their issues"
tiie men who have something a majority
in Massachusetts will pool theirs.
At a vkuv largo meeting at Biddeford,
Maine, on Wednesday evening, ex-Speaker
Blaine was the star of the evening, and
made ono of his telling speeches. Ho said :
By common consent the currency question
is the great question beforo tho people. This
I regret, because, if there is one thing oopla
cannot afford ,it is to havo apolitical currency
question. Let us settle it, and settle it right.
The Loan Act hail not only tho
authoiilv of law. but. in a peculiar nml
strong sense, it is binding upon us. In this
act was a proviso as follows : " That tho to
tal amount of those notes issued, nnd to bo
issued, shall never exceed $400,000,000." It
was tho price which, in cxtrcmo urgency,
we pledged ourself to, and if there is any
honor in the American people they would
as soon sign away their birthright as violate
this pledge. The most fearful thing that
could happen to this country would be the
issuance ot an unlimited amount of currency.
How aro you going to contract the currency?
Whatever else American people do with cur
rency, let mo say to you that there is no
body of men so littlo competent to determine
tho question of money as Congressmen. I
voted in Congress for the Greenback bill. I
voted that greenbacks should not be con
tracted. Greenback lieoplo say
that wo should not havo any banks. Fur
700 years we havo had banks, and wo could
not conduct tho besiness of tho country for a
miniito without banks. Whv are banks a
necessity? A hank is a place where tho
borrower of money meets the lender) whero
surplus money Isitepositod. Suppose a man
wants lo borrow S10.000 to co into busmen.
Greenbaekers would send him all over llio
country ,borrowiiig;?50 hero and $50 there.
If you will have banks, then what kind will
you have? Itefiwnsiblo or irresponsible?
National bunks aro jwrfcctly free for every
man to engage in, with Just one little con.
dition that the Government insists upon
that you shall not issue any bills until you
luve put into tho United StatesTreaiury an
amount equal to 10 per cent additional,
to protect the bill holders. If you hold a
national bank bill you don't care whether
tho bank is burst or not. In regard to tax
ing bonds. Greenbaekers eay, " here is an
exempted class." The only man in the
United States who payi absolutely full tax
on his properly is the holder of Government
bonds. For instance: A invests $10,000 in
Government 4 per cents, l invests an equal
amount In Maine State Cs, and C inve.ts a
like amount in Maine Central 7 nor cents.
In the first case, the investor in Government
bonds pay his taxw In advance, but in tb
case of tho other bonds, is It within your OX'
perience that holders thereof flock to tho
assessor's office asking to bo taxed? Facts
show that but a very small portion of tho
bonds are taxed. It ia the easiest thing in
tho world for your brother who is ill Cali
fornia to own them, or your uncle in eomo
other part of the country. Then why de
lude yourselves with the idea that If you
taxed Uovcrnment bonus tncy would be any
more likely to turn up for taxation than
incso Biaio or railroad uonuer n you suc
ceed in taxing bonds you merely place upon
your shoulders an additional burden off 10,
000,000. GiiBKSiucK PnosrEiiiTT. A favorite, argu
ment, says the N. Y. Sun, of the advocates
of an unlimited paper currency is this: The
first issue of greenbacks was followed by great
activity in business, plenty of employment
for labor, and general prosperity j whereas a
partial withdrawal of these same greenbacks,
preparatory to resumption, has been follow.
cd by stagnation in business, a drcarth of
employment for labor, and general misery;
therefore, let us issue moro greenbacks and
wo shall onco more have active business,
plenty of employ mcnt,and general prosjwri
ty. This reasoning is very much as if a man
should say: Lastwintcr,whcn the thermom
eter stood at 40 everybody Was cool and
comfortable, nnd the fur dealers and over
coat makers did a thriving business ,' where
as now tho thermometer stands at 80 or 00,
and everybody is warm and perspiring, ami
nothing is doing except in the sale of linen
coats, fans, and ice crcatn ; therefore, let us
put a lump of ice on the bulb of the ther
mometer and bring it down to 40 again,
and then wo shall have winter wcather.witli
all that the namo implies. Tho flood (if
paper money mat was poured out on tins
country during the war had its source, in llio
first instancein the necessities of the war,
and was accompanied by an extraordinary
activity In tho manufacture of arms, ammu
nition, clothing, nnd ships, and by an enor
mous consumption of food, Attliosametiine,
overn million of men were withdrawn from
productive industry nnd became consumers
of tho fruits of the industry of others. Europo
was drawn on for supplies, and furnished
them to us in the most liberal mannerof
course for a consideration. Everybody was
busy, and everybody seemed to bo making
money. This same'mniioy, too, everybody
was afraid lo keep after ho got it, because
every day it was getting worthless and less,
and many people expected it would even
tually become worth nothing nt all. So
everybody hastened to turn it, as fast as ho
got it, into property. Prices went up and
up, and it looked as though they would go
on up forever. Cotton sold for $1 a pound,
cotton cloth for 25 cents a yard, wheat for
$2.50 a bushel, a day's unskilled labor for
$2.50, a day's skilled laho' for from $4 to $0,
and so on. Just as tho w.ir ended, too, a
railroad building mania set in. Thousands
of miles of railroad were built, which to-day
hardly pay running expenses. Lands along
these railroads was bought on credit at from
$10 to $15 per acre, and houses were builton
it at three times tho price for which they
could be built now. City lots also went up
to enormous figuics, and" made their owners
feclij?'1' Then, when tho bubble was at
the biggest, it hurst. There was a rush lo
sell, just as there had bc?n previously n rush
lo buy. Wo found that wo" fia.1 more mills
and manufactories and railroads tlnlD wo
had uso for, and that prairie lands and city
lots were not worth anything like the prices
they had been selling at. Cotton and cotton
goods and all other manufactures tumbled
two-thirds or three-quarters in price, and
thoso who had bought them on credit or with
borrowed money were ruined. Now, because
llio crash was preceded by a contraction of
the currency, and tho previous fool's para
diso had been accompanied by an inflation
of the currency, unthinking men jump' to
the conclusion that we have only got In bring
back inflation to bring back with it tho wild
era of simulation which wo had when wo.
had nidation before. But unless we can also,
nave anoincr war,oranotncr railroad mania,
their expectations arc fallacious. We do not
blame men who are suffering from the hard
times, and who honestly believe that an ad
ditional issue of greenbacks would relievo
them, for wauling more greenbacks. If wo
thought as they do wo should want moro
greenbacks too. If wo were convinced that
even one-tenth of tho misery of the unem
ployed wor could bo put on end to by issu
ing a few hundreds ot millions of dollars of
piper money, wo should say : Issue them by
all means. But wo aro sure that such a
measuro would only tend to prolong ami in
tensify tho present distress, and we therefore
opposo it. The country needs a sound cur
rency, convertible on demand into pjK'cie.as
tho only basss of a healthy business. Capital
needs to bo assured of safety lieforo it will
seek investment in new enterprises, whereas
tho assault made upon it nominally in tho
ilitciest of tho workingman keep ft locked
up, and deprive him of employment. Tho
greenback demagogue is tho workingman'a
worst enemy, because he is delaying tho re-,
vivai oi emei prise, winch only waits lor the
cessation of financial agitation to begin.
