SUPPLEMENT.
MLFFUNTOWN, PA., 'WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1878.
When it was an Honor to be aBond
holder. From the Philadelphia Ledger.
How times have changed with ref
erence to government bondholders!
There were dark days once when it
was considered a meiit to buy and
hold the bonds of the United States.
Those were the days when the officers
of the government, engaged in carry
ing on the war against the men who
were striking at the nation's life, were
sorely in need of monev. and earn
estly besought those who had it to
lend their money to the government,
and to take bonds, promising its hon
orable repayment Then, as we have
said, it was considered an merit to be
a bondholder. It was a sign that
material aid had been extended to the
government in helping it through the
deadly struggle. Indeed, there were
extremists who held that the owner
ship of a United States bond, when
the existence of the United States
was staked upon the issue of battle,
was a badge of loyalty. Now all that
is changed, and the ownership of a
government bond is made the pretext
for opprobrium and abuse ! But the
people who trusted the nation then
will continue to trust it now, with no
more scare of the demagogues of this '
day than of the secession of that.

The price of cotton has declined
