Kl VIVAl. Ill t |I It I felt at liberty t«> choose the tlienie most important to you ami to tin- w hole pco- |»le of tlie I nited State*, I would present the recent revival l>\ the democratic partv of the j Southern doctrine of States’ rights. This i doctrine has been the evil genius of Ameri can politics. It was h»«rn of hostility to the I nion. It was the bulwark of \meriean slavery. It poisoned and estranged a large section of the country, t'ndertln* name of secession, it led to the late rebellion, and aimed to destroy the I nion hv an open armed conflict vv itli the National ioveminent. Kvery life that was sacrificed, and tin- treas ure that was w asted in that war, were the hit ter fruits of this doctrine. Now it takes the form of nullification not nullification by State officers a- when General Jack-on throttled it. hut nullification h\ members of Congress, tin- sworn agent- and officers of the Gem ral Government. These officers would surrender essential powers of the National Government, nullify its law. cripple it in executing it- conceded powcis, and make it a Confeder ate instead of a Na tional Government. In the arrogance of their power one of their leaders declared that it w as their fixed purpose to w ij» out even vestige of war legislation. Their chief effort in the last two sc--i ms of Congress has been to nullify a law of Congress providing for an honest election of members of Congress—a law passed in pur suance of a plain provision of the Constitu tion. declared by Mr. Madison to he essential to the preservation of the Government: a law w hich has been sanctioned by eight years of practical execution, w hich has been ap pealed to by both parties, whose constitu tionality lias never been disputed in the courts, and which is the only guard provided by Congress to protect citizens of the l nited States in the elective franchise. The move ment for nullifying this law was made possi ble by a “united South.'* united by terror, v iolence, and fraud, and bv crimes that dis- grace our civilization. Over thq white men of the South, who were w illiug to acquiesce in the results of the w ar. the united South" practiced social* ostracism and violence. Over the poor black-, whose rights were granted, and as we foolishlv thought suffi ciently secured hv the Constitution, it tram pled w ith midnight murder and masquerade, and last year it capped the climax by election frauds more shameful than the ballot-box stuffing and repeating of Tweed ami bis in famous ring in 1 mi;m. Several members of Congress who were confessedly elected by tissue-ba!lo*-box stuffing, the meanest form of crime against the elective franchise, participated in refus ing the necessary appropriations for the -up port of the Government tinie-s the President would approve the repeal of the election laws. When, by the firmness of the Presi dent. they failed in their main object, they sought by conditions in appropriation bills, to com]K*l him to agree to nullify laws in vio lation of bis oath of office. When the President again defeated this scheme by bis veto they refused to appropri ate money to enforce the jmdicia! mandates of the Government, and the Tinted States courts are now powerless to enforce their decrees, or to serve proei ss. or to keep the peace, unless the marshals serve without the pity fixed by law. In this wav a majority of either House may nullify anv law and destroy the Government. We thought all such dog mas were overthrown by the amendment* to the Constitution. Such a policy, if sanc tioned, will nullity the amendments, and is more dangerous than secession or State null ification. It is revolution and anarch). The evident purpose of those dominating in the democratic party to belittle and de grade the National government, to elevate provinciali-m above nationalism, to weak en the tie that binds this vast conn try into a nation, so that the wind* and the waves of faction may heat upon it and shatter it. Gen. Wade Hampton is reported to have said that he docs not care whether the candi dates are hard money or soft nionev. with intelligence* the meas ure* that have heen proposed and executed, and the questions tliat still remain open for decision, t hir money then was paper money, irredeemable in coin, and worth about eigh- j ty-seven rents on the dollar. The amount outstanding was larger than ever before. Sometimes this has been disputed by counting as money m the close of the war all tin* com- pound-interest notes and 7.do Treasury notes, j These wi re no more current money than tin* b per cent, bonds into which they wen* con verted. Ih.ili bore interest, and were always above p.ir in piper money, and were held as i investment*, imi as currency. The amount of paper money outstanding, including ail in terest hearing notes. June do, 1 was *747,2i?d,x!i."».7y individ uals. but hv cities, comities, towns, and all kind- of private corporations. It was an era of wild and reckless waste and improvidence. In those speculative times tie* tonnage of American vessels in foreign trade dwindled from in l*»»u. to l,;57*..Vt:t tons in 1*7:*. Wherever we w**re brought in com petition with countries doing business upon a specie basis, we were driven from cotnpeti-■ tion. either on the ocean or in workshops. Railroads were built where they were not j needed, in advance ot settlements: furnaers were put up in excess of all possible perma nent demand, and over production and over trading occurred in all branches of business. The balance of trade with foreign countries had been fur a series of years steadily against us. From l*f*:f to 1*7:# the excess of imports over export- was >*1 .n*il.410,.1*7, and from Is#,*.i to 1*7:1, .s.v,4.n:._\f,u7. 1 am not ahh to give you the amount of private and corporate indebtedness contract ed in foreign countries during these years of reckless speculation, hut it was probably equal to or in excess of the balance of trade against us. We then enjoyed the prosperity of a profligate w hile w asting it- inheritance, or the happiness of a drunkard while on a spree. The panic of 1*7:5 called a halt. and. as by a stroke, paralyzed all domestic industry. and bankruptcy and ruin spread from corporation* to individuals, and property was unsalable except at prices far below its value. It is hardly worth while for us to enter in to the discussion of the cause of this calami ty. Hottest men would differ about it. Some attribute it to the waste of the a ar. some to the over-production that followed the w aste of tin war: some to irredeemable paper money. Rut w hatever may have been the cause, the calamity was admitted by all to he wide reaching and long-continuid. It affected for eign nations much more severely than our own. K\cry nation in FurojH- suffered as much or more than the Cnitcd States. The industries ot tireat liritaiu were paralyzed, i hir sillier recovery from this stagnation is due to our vast territory and undeveloped resources, and the natural energy of a young and vigorous nation. Till. Rl.sf \|i*TIoN \er. When Congress met in December. 1*7:1. it undertook to find a remedy for these evils, and tor a year wv had discussions in Con gress. in the pre". and among the people, a to how best to relieve our distresses and re- -tore our industries to a solid foundation. In the course of this discussion the people nat urally divided. On the one hand it was in sisted that the true remedy was to inflate the c urrency by a large incre ase of paper inotiev, and. with that \iow, twenty-six millions of dollurs in Cnited States notes were thrown upon the mark* t. On the other hand it was insisted that the only hope for relief w as to return to a specie basis, and to advance all form' ot currency to that standard. In .lamiary, l«7o, and during the- second j session ot Congress—eighteen months after the panic—the measure known a> the resump tion act wa- adopted by a niujoritv of both 1 branches and approved by the President.1 This was n republican measure, for. though many democrats favored resumption, yet party discipline and the hope of party advan tage induced every one of them to vote against the resumption act. 'Phis measure was very simple one. containing out two propositions—one was that silver coin should ho gradually issued for the redemption of fractional currency, and the other one was that on .lanuary I. 1*71>. the National Treas ury should •redeem, in coin, any t’nited j States notes that were presented. This art was not to take effect, in its material provis ion, until four years from the date ot its pas sage* Steps were taken hv Secretary liris tow. and your distinguished townsman, Sec retary Morrill, for the gradual replacement ot fractional currency hv silver coin, hut un til the spring of 1*77 no material preparation was, or could well have been, made for the redemption of I'uitcd States notes, which continued to he depreciated, being worth on ly to ft4 ci nts in coin. widespread feel ing prevailed that resumption was impossible, that it would not bring better times, and the j country continued to sutler the tortures of the panic of During the whole of 1 S7hio, and Mr. Voorhcc* of Indiana, with others, made a minority report, in which they declared that the law for the resumption of specie payment* on the 1st of January, 1*7!*, haring been enacted by the republican party without deliberation in Congress or discussion before the people, and being so inadequate to secure its object, was highly injurious to the business of the coun try. and ought to be forthwith repealed. Mr. Tilden. in bis letter of acceptance, en dorsed this doctrine, and, at the swine Jimc, declared himself for a speedy return of specie payments, saysng: “The government ought not to speculate on its own dishonor in order to save interest on its proken promises, which it 'till compels private dealars to accept at a fictitious par." I w ill read some of the prophecies made by very distinguished gentlemen in regard to tie* resumption act. itcneral Kw mg, in the House ot Bcpresen tativcs, November '22, 1*77, said “If we were wholly out of debt to Kurope, if our foreign eoimncrec floated under our own flag, if there wire no system of absentee ism aiming our wealthy classes, expending their wealth abroad, resumption in gold, or even gold and silver, would he impossible on our present volume of paper currency for many years to come. 'Hie national hanks, the importers, the gold rings in Nt w York, the desperadoes of Wall street, the money kings of Kurope. to whom we are fi nancially enslaved, they will present the greenback* for redemption and destruction as fast as the gold can he paid over the counters of the Treasury.** Senator Coke, in the 1'nited States Senate, May 14. 1*7*. said “It i' better, Mr. President, that we bide our time and turnback from the frightful abyss of ruin w hich yawns across the pathway to re sumption. The experiment must end in fail ure. and must engulf the country in a lower deep of misery than it has yet fathomed. The hulk of the State, private, and savings hanks, with their vast sum of the people’s deposits, must go by the board by reason of the insuf ficiency of their reserves, and many of the national hanks must fall from the same c ause. In this general crash the whole system, from the Treasury down, must succumb. It is simply a question of time, for this result in list occur, and in my judgment the time will he very short after tin* 1st day of January next.” o tin* 11th of November, 1*77, my old friend. Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, in the House of Kcprc'cntativcs, said: “But gentlemen, the worst has not yet come if this act is to he maintained. And I tell you—and you may book it to jeer and scoff at me fifteen months hence if it prove not to he a true prediction—tin* suffer ing we have endured during the three years this law has been in existence, is like the chill which embellishes while it blasts with feather.vd frost the leaves and flow ers of the tropical plants that surround the homes of our extreme southern States, compared with the arctic cold that build* up the mountainous iceberg, w hieli chills the summer utmostpherc of our coast as it passes near our shores.” 1 have no desire to jeer nr scoff at a gen tleman whom I sincerely respect, although near two years ago he gave us authority to do so. if he proved to be a false prophet. Mr. Muldrow said, in the House of Bopre sentatives. Nov. Id, 1*77 “The act gives the Secretary of the Treas ure the pow er to sell bonds, so as to obtain gold to redeem the greenbacks and fractional currency hut there is no such provision in re gard to the national hank issues. The practical working of the law will be the absorption and retirement of the greenback'and the issuance in their stead of irredeemable national-bank notes. No man with any financial sagacity can believe that the national hanks will he able to redeem their circulating currency w ith coin in January. 1*71).” Mr. Buckner, chairman of the Committee of Banking and Currency, said on the Idtli of November, 1*77 ••I have not been able to find one man, learned or unlearned, capitalist or laborer, merchant or farmer, who believes resumption possible or practicable. Perhaps the Secre tary of the Treasury is an exception.” 1 might quote for days the warnings ami evil prophecies of our democratic and green back friends, but they have been so recently made that it is scarcely necessary. On the other band, the supporters of this measure insisted that resumption was not only possi ble hut easy: that the accumulation of coin would lower its price, improve the public credit, increase the sale of 4 per cent, bonds: mill that w hen the* fund should he sufficient to inspire confidence in the ability to resume, resumption would he a tranquil and easy pas sage, the sure forerunner of hopeful prosper ity. They also believed that it would lessen the burden of the public debt, and lower the rate of interest not only to the public hut to private individuals. Si i i i:*s of IUsimition. Let us now examine which of these Upris ing opinions has heen proved to be true by the test of experience. The success of resumption depended entire ly upon the ability of the I'nited States, by the time fixed, to accumulate in the Treasury an amount of coin sufficient to meet any de mands likely to he made upon it. This coin could only' he obtained by surplus revenue, or by the sale of I’nited States bonds, full authority for which was given bv the resump tion act. In April, lx‘7, it was announced bv the Administration that from the 1st of May the Treasury Department would aeon imdatc coin at the rate id' Sa.oou.iMtu a month, and accordingly that sum was set aside from the sale of44 percent, bonds, up to the 1st of duly. The very announcement of the purpose to resume, w ith a definite plan of resumption, at once Imd a reviving effect upon the public credit, increasing the sale of 4^ per cent, bonds. Tltis induced the Treasury Depart ment, on the 23d day of May, 1*77, to with draw the 4i per cent, bonds, and on the Dili of June. 1X77, to place the 4 per cents, upon the market to be sold at par in coin, both for. refunding and resumption purposes. This w as a critical experiment, the expediency of which was gravely doubted by many friends of resumption, but it proved a perfect success. This course was pursued until November, the price of coin constantly declining and confi dence steadily improv ing, when Congress met, and a bill speedily passed the House of Hepre sentative* to repeal the resumption act. This and other proposed measures affected serious j iv the public credit, and stopped the sale of bonds ns with a clamp. All examination of financial problems by the committees of both Houses and the debates in Congress caused the Senate to refuse to pass the bill for the repeal of the resumption act, and finally pre vented the passage of attv bill that would cripple that net, and left the Executive authority to pursue its duty as prescribed therein. on April 11, H7X, the Department was I again able to resume its policy of purchasing coin by the sale of 4^ per cent, bonds, and shortly p.tlterwurd* to commence the sale of 4 per cent*, for refunding pur poses. and this policy was steadily pursued to the end. During the process coin constantly declined and the sale of 4 per cent, bonds steadily increased. In 1*7* we sold $lo,ooo. ki» nv Coxi.uk>*. No assistance whatever was extended by ('on gress in aid of resumption. hi tin* contrary, it increased the minimum of I’nited States notes, upon which resumption was to he maintained, from &-UMMMMUIOO to 834b.b*l. old. it recently required the redemption of fractional coin as well as I’nited States notes. By pending measures of the most dangerous character, and by continual agitation, it great ly disturbed the public credit, and made the task of the Department much more difficult and its means much less. It reduced the rev enue from taxes on tobacco to the extent of eight or nine millions annually. It largely increased the aggregate of appropriations. The annual appropriations for the fiscal years ending June 30. 1*7*. 1*70, and 1**0, exclusive of appropriations for public debt and other permanent appropriations, were as follows 1*7* #114.»MV.U**U. 1*70 14b. 304.300. !M. 1 SMI I 17.177. Sometimes complaint lias been made that, during this process of refunding, the 1 amount of interest-hearing debt w as tempora rily increased, and that the interest was paid «»n two sets of bonds at same time. This, from the nature of things, was unavoidable under the provisions of the refunding act of 1*70. Ilv that act, before any bond can he redeemed, notice must he given for the period of three months. Hefore that notice can he given, bonds have to he sold and the money i either collected or secured, and this process necessarily involves the payment of interest I for three months, not only upon the bonds i sold, hut upon those to he redeemed. Ad- j vantage w as taken of this fact to unjustly ar- raigti the department for a matter beyond its j control. A constant outcry was made that the interest-hearing debt w as being increased, j The debt statement would necessarily show- I that, during the three months, two se ts of j bonds were outstanding, hut it would show also that the money was in the Treasury, and this being deducted would leave the balance of the debt as before. Thus, if you owe a thousand dollars w ith the right to pay it at your pleasure, and borrow money for that pur pose. you will have two notes outstanding at the same time until you can apply the bor rowed money to the payment of tin* first note. This is precisely the condition the I'nitcd States was in w hen borrow ing money to pay outstanding bonds. The debt statement of duly 1 shows as part of the public debt the whole of the ten-forty bonds, and also the whole of the bonds issued for their payment, hut also shows tlu* money in tlu* Treasure to pay them. In the next debt statement the ten-forties will disappear, or such as are un paid w ill appear among the debt hearing no interest. The cash in the Treasury w ill also decrease accordingly. I thought the notice required by the law was entirely too long, and in my annual report to Congress, demo cratic in both branches, earnestly urged a shortening of the period to thirty days or less, in order to save this double interest, hut the recommendation was declined or ignored. If any one is to he held responsible for the dou ble interest it should he Congress. In jus tice to the depu tment. it is but fair to state that all the loans negotiated for the last two years have been on more favorable terms than any loans ever made hy the I'nitcd Stales. They w ere generally made hy pop ular subscriptions by the people directly, flu* saving from the amount allowed for the expense of negotiating the loan is over s*l. HKUNM), and the premium exacted on 4 1-2 and 4 per cent, bonds amounts to Ml. I'.MJ.nt*. 2.">. 1 can say without tear of contradiction, that no nation ever negotiated its loans at a less cost or on as favorable terms. The sales of the famous per cent, con sol* of England, when made, were «>n far less advantageous terms than the I nit cd States was able to secure after accomplish ing resumption. The resumption of specie payments has had tlu* same beneficial effect upon the husiiu of private citizens. The reduction of interest on the public debt has made it possible to reduce the rate on all debts, whether State, corpora tion, or private. Xothiugis more certain than that irredeemable money necessarily lead to the increase of the rate of interest. The first effect of its is>uc is to reduce the late of interest and to advance prices. If not re deemable in coin it depreciates in value, and more of it i> necessary to conduct business. It causes over-trading and speculation, not only us to the prices of commodities, hut as to its own value. This is soon show n in the advance of the rate of interest, and what i* called a scarcity of money. This general rule is stated i»y Mien old writers us Adam Smith and Thonia* Tooke, and is fully verified by the rate of interest before the panic and since resumption. Private debts arc now being rapidly reduced from 10 to and even to 0 per cent. The State of New York has, bv law. reduced the rate of interest in that State from 7 to d per cent. The city of Providence sold 4 in 1*78. The total amount which went into consumption, including domestic pro duction and imports, representing the manu taeture of woollen goods in the I'nited States, increased from 292.ouu.iKiO pounds in 1*79, to 249.ooO.iMK) pounds in 1*7*. I*von our shipping interests, engaged in foreign trade —tin* industry most depressed— "how some sign** of hopefulness. Ships and harks are tin* classes of sailing vessel prin cipally employed in foreign trade. The average number of vessels of these two classes Imilt during each of the years 1*47 to 1*5*. inclusive, was 24*. hut during the year 1871 tin* number was only 4crpctual di-honor and depreciation but now they have i been so paid by resumption. All the five twenty and ten-forty bonds redeemed this year, amounting to $537,073,550, have been i paid in greenbacks, and the interest on all the bond- i- paid in greenback*, and all this i- done without raising any question of good faith w ith the public creditor*. They also demanded that the custom* du i ties should be paid in greenback*. This is now daily done, without question, as the re -ult of resumption. We receive 1'oiled States note* for allpur pose- and on all demands, and pay them out for all purpose- and on all demand*. Hesttnqv tion ha-enabled us to do this. It has accom plished even object w hich the grcetihackcr* -ought tb accomplish by the repeal of tin* resumption net. Should they not be content? What more do they want?

We occupy a large part of our space this morning with the publication nl the verv able and statesmanlike speech of Sec retary Sherman, delivered at Portland, last evening. Touching lightly but in earnest language upon the Southern ques tion at the commencement of his speech, Mr. Sherman soon passes to the discus sion of the financial questions at issue in this campaign. First, he briefly describes the condition of the country w hen the fi nancial panic of 1*7:1 hurst upon us. Then he speaks of the resumption act,of the op position which it encountered, the predic tions that it would prove a failure, and of the success which attended the effort to resume. Congress did not aid this effort, hut, on the contrary, threw impediments in the way by an increase of Tinted States notes, and an increase of appropriations and a decrease ol the revenues. Hut the confidence engendered in the public mind by resumption and the waking up of our industries to activity overcame till obsta cles. I he results ot resumption have been marvelous. Besides enabling the Secre tary to refund the greater part ot the pub lic debt at I percent., saving in interest alone nearly nine million dollars since the first of January last, resumption has caused the greenbacks to be more desira ble in most money transactions than gold, so that hut little gold is demanded at the treasury for the redemption of government notes, the rate of interest has been reduced all over the country in private business matters, and a revival of business has begun which promises to raise the country in prosperity beyond anything before experienced. One of the best parts of the speeeli is that in which Mr. Sherman deals with the opponents of resumption and answers their objections with facts, figures and arguments that will he conclusive to any candid mind. We do not see how any man can read this speech and continue a follower of greenliaekism. There seems to he no phase ot the financial question untouched, no ground left for the inflationist to stand upon. Let those who have any doubt about tbe benefits of resumption or the wisdom of the policy of the republican party ifi rela tion to the flounces attend Mr. Sherman's i meetings and hear lortheinselves. If they are unable to do that let them obtain a copy of his speeeli and study it carefully, for it is the work of a statesman and pa triot, who speaks of what he knows thor oughly and well. The Itemo-fireeiibaek Agreement. To the hi/itor of the Journal If republican greenhaekers had doubted before, of the situation in Maine, it seems to me their eyes must be opened by the card of some loo old line democrats in tliis morning's Argus, l.et ttno*e if fit/ think alike net toijeth rr.” That is the thing to decide the election in this State for 'orji’l Davis sure, and certain. Dims the editor of the Argus, and his pub lished long list of old Bourbons, for one mo ment presume to believe, that the thirteen or fourteen thousand republicans who last year voted the greenback ticket, ever thought as they do, on the great national questions now before the people of this country Impossible. The writer hereof has repeat edly heard prominent republicans who voted for Smith last year declare emphatically that sooner than ever to vote to aid democracy, directly or indirectly, they would vote for Dgvis and the whole republican ticket. How can they longer hesitate after the card above referred to? Every republican journal of Maine should rc-puldish that card milling the following amendment: ‘•It is also further agreed by the cunning ••ones behind the curtain, that in considera "tion of their amalgamation, that if we ea|i •ture the legislature, Smith shall be made “Governor, Eben K. Pillabury next year be “elected to the I'nited States Senate, and the “electoral vote of Maine shall he given to “the national democratic candidate.” This I have from those who claim to know whereof they affirm. Hepuhliean-grecnbaekers of last year are you ready to he delivered ac cording to the bargain made and provided? Will the Argus deny that the nbovo arrange ment is agreed upon? Hkpchi.k in.

It appears from information received from South Carolina that the democrats do not propose to allow republicans to belong to se cret societies. There is a society of colored people there, organized for benevolent pur poses. called the “Good .Samaritans.” The Anilersonville (South Carolina) Intelligenc er, received here, in characterizing this soci ety as organized for political purposes, makes the following threat: “We take tliis occasion to urge our colored friends in this county not to organize or sustain a secret political society, (or it will certainly result in no good for those who participate in it. Our people are on the alert for just such schemes, and tin y will not only come to naught, but those wlm seek to establish them will he re membered and shown that they cannot expect lo foment discord between the races and (lien receive substantial kindness and assistance from the white people.” The >Soi riiEits M ias, The agents of tlic Post Office Department are telegraphing from the section tlircatcnnl with yellow fever tor instructions relative to tlie mails. The postal authorities here have given general instructions to conform to all local or State ipiarantinc regulations. Be yond this no iljrcctions will he given from Washington. This eonelusion leaves it to the Postmasters, agents ami local authorities to maintain or discontinue the present postal communication. Superintendent Hunt ofthc rail w av mail service telegraphed to-day from St. Louis that the authorities of Little iloek de clared that “fumigation or no fumigation,” no mail matter from Memphis should lie laud ed there. The postmaster at St. Louis has also telegraphed to-day, saving that the mails from Memphis tor Arkansas w ere coming v ia St. Louis, and that a- the authorities of Lit tle Iloek refused to receive them they were accumulating in the St. Louis pout Office. He expressed some apprehensions if this state id things was to continue indefinitely, and asked that instructions he given with regard I he matter The Acting Post master Gen eral lias declined to Interfere, leaving it en tirely to the judgment iif the postal agents on till1 Him.uai.

V i presided over tlie birth of the green backs, and guarded them in the cradle. The democratic tenders denounced them as a fraud, with the mark of Cain on their brow, t as worthless, to be bought some day by the cord. We have crowned them with honor, i They are no longer depreciated, bjt mav travel the circuit of the world equal to the] best coin ever issued from the mint. Greenback Policy is Maine. The policy of the modern greenbuekor is to depreciate the greenback, to destroy its pur chasing power, to make it depend, not upon the intrinsic value of the coin into which it can bo converted, hot upon some imaginary value given it by law. The people of Maim will have to choose between those greenback- 1 ers who strictly preserve the national faith, i seek to maintain the greenback at par with coin, and those who, with utter disregard of tlie public faith, wish to restore the old state j of affairs, when the greenback could only be j passed at a discount, and could neither he re-1 ceived for customs duties nor lie paid upon the public debt. They would revive the old distinction between the bondholder and the noteholder, when a loO-cent gold dollar was paid to the bondholder and an HO-cent irre deemable note was the pay of the laborer. IVe would have one money for all. and tlint good money, each dollar of which will buy 100 cent's worth of food and clothing. One would suppose, fellow-citizens, that our greenback friends, after all their prophe cies had het-n proven to he falsi* alarm-, after we have secured and enjoyed for a brief period the blessings of a sound currency re deemable in coin, would he content to lei well enough alone; hut dropping the resump tion act. they come to the front with a new set of dogmas, and invite on them a contest with the republican party. Perhaps the fairest wav in which I can re ply to them is by first quitting the platforms of their party in Maine and Ohio, where the chief political contests of this year me to he fought. The first clause of the Maine plat- form is as follows ‘•The convention congratulates the people of Maine that the increase of coin and bonded indebtedness of the government in time of profound peace from $I,100,(MKI,0(mi in 18(15. j to $2,000,000.KUO in INTO, is a fact so start- 1 ling as to alarm every friend of the country that the reduction of the rate of coin interest and at the same time increasing the principal to such an amount us to vastly increase the j coin interest continually, under the pretext of economy, by the reduction of the rate of in terest, is such a fraud upon the people as to merit the most severe condemnation." This is a curious medley of deceptive state- meats, the purpose of which would scent to lie to show that the public debt was increased in a time of profound peaee from 81,Inn,non.mm. ill 18li.->, tn *2,000,000,000, in 1879, while in truth am) in fact, the interest-henring debt. in 1805, was $2,381,530,294 90, and now that the refunding operations arc completed, it is $1,797,043,700. It is true that the debt, in I 1805, was not all payable in coin; $217,024. 100 was in the form of compound-interest notes hearing 0 per cent, compound interest, and $830,000,000 was payable in Treasury notes Learing currency interest at the rate of 7 3-10 j per cent. but the latter, having matured. 1 was converted eleven years ago into 0 per cent, coin-bonds, n decrease of the rate of in terest of I 3-10 per cent. In fact the interest hearing debt has been reduced since 18(55 in flit* sum of $583,880,594 90, and flic annual interest charge on this debt lias been reduced from $150,977,097 87 to $83,773,778 50. The statement as made would he absolute ly false, hut for the cqxivocation upon the words “coin interest." Now all our interest, though nominally payable in coin, is in fact paid in currency. Our friends who never mislead, or hardly ever, make their statement technically true, hut really false, for the interest-hearing debt lias been reduced near $0mi.,80f Every effort has been made to put it in circulation w ithout forcing it upou unwilling persons, but tlie Treasury Department has only been able to issiuf ffi3,3.VJ,!t4i, of which 18,!) 13 have been since returned to (lie Treasury. The sensible course to be pursued with the silver question Is to (rest it us g practical one, and to coin it without limit only when the com mercial nations have agreed upon a market ratio upon which they ean all stand. Jt is now believed that lids can be brought about by commercial treaties, and a negotia tion is now pending for that purpose. In the meantime silver coin should he limited in amount to a sum that can he maintained at par with gold coin irrespective of its value. As to supplementing the coinage by full le gal-tender paper money sufficient to transact the business of the country, this is all well enough, except that the amount should In limited to that amount which can he main tained at par in coin; otherwise you have pa per money fluctuating in value, variable a the shade, ami a recurrence of all the evils which we have suffered since the panic. There is but one way of testing the amount of paper money that is -ufHcient to transact the business of the country, and that is by its convertibility into coin on the demand of the holder. Again, they sav that they favor the immedi ate use of the coin in the Treasury tor the reduction of the bonded debt. I bis proposition is the purest dcmagoguiwm unless it i- desirable to have irredccinnhh paper money depending for its value only up pon the mandate of the Government, or what if called tiat money. If we propose to re deem our money we must have in the 'Trea* urv coiu sufficient to meet any sudden dc maud. 'The larger the amount and the gn at j er the certainty of redemption when demand cd,rthc le$* demand th -re will be. As a mat ter of course, by holding this coin in the Trcstirv we lose the interest that might he saved by it* application in the payment nt the debt. The amount of Interest upon the bonds sold for resumption purposes is !):».*,(MO, and this i* the only price wo pay for the maintenance of resumption, but to com pensate for this we have already, since re sumption. saved in the process of refunding $sl4.*J!»7,177 a year, and are now enjoying tin benefits of reviving industry and hopeful prosperity, largely the result of the mainten ance of specie payments. Without a large reserv e «>t coin, a combination of brokers or bankers wishing to put up the rate of interest or to speculate in the market, could nn\ dn\ endanger resumption or make a panic. It i> hard to please our givcnli.it k friends. A vear ago they protested we could not accu mulate enough gold to maintain resumption, and now, after resumption, they protest that we hnve got too much. I hey say they favor the substitution t greenbacks for national-hank notes. This question of the continuance of tin national-bank notes is one of grave diffi culty. which should be taken up by the pen pie of the I’nited States and considered and discussed with the utmost care. 1 am not specially the advocate of any kind of banks: but it is certain that the national hanks are the best that ever were devised—conceded to be so bv the leading economists of other na tions. ami proven to be so in our own coun try by a comparison willi the State banks. They are generally distributed throughout the United States, and form local agencies to promote exchanges. Their notes are abso lutely secure beyond pcradventtiro. They are guarded against counterfeiting so suc cessfully that scarcely any loss happen* in this way. Compared with the old system ot State banks, they are in every respect supe rior, and no sensible man would exchange the National system for the State-bank sys tem. Those banks are free* are organized und r general law open to all alike so that the bind-1 m ss of banking is as free as that of black smith ing. There is no monopoly ii. it, except that only men having money can hank, precisely j as only those can farm who citlur own or j rent land. These hanks are* chartered for twenty years, and the curliest to expire will be in 18#.*$; so that the question of their dis continuance cannot honestly be determined until then. The substitution of greenback' for bank notes, if seriously attempted, would make such a stringency in money, and such a disturbance in business, that in comparison with it the panic of 187.‘$ would be but a I show er to a hurricane. The withdrawal of the circulating notes from the hanks would, necessarily, compel the sale of the bonds de posited for their security, and this would un questiovialby loud to the collection of loans and discounts, which woul 1 effect every vil lage and hamlet in the land It is objected to the national hanks that they draw interest on the United States bonds deposited by them, ami also on the circulating notes issued by them. As to the bonds held by them, they arc the property of the stockholders, and not the property of the Government. We require them as se curity to the holders of the notes because it is the best security. If the bank goes out of existence the interest of the bonds w ill still have to he paid by the Government. As to the circulating notes, a part of them must be held in reserve and a part loaned to business men: but for this privilege, open to all alike, they have paid to tie* National and State gov ernments, taxes averaging $1(5,908.181 a year for the last ten years, a sum greater than five per cent, of the entire amount of their circu lating notes. If the tax is not sufficient you can Increase it. But, it is said, the Govern ment might issue these circulating notes and save interest. In doing so, however It would lose at once the taxes collected from the 1 banks; it would violate the public faith.' pledged in an express provision of the law creating the public debt, that the amount of United States notes shall not exceed $400, 000,000; it would make necessary larger re serve to maintain resumption on the increased amount of United States notes, and would i eventually lead to the abandonment of all idea of a specie standard, and again launch the country on the sea of irredeemable money, with the inevitable result of wild specula tion, panic, and bankruptcy. ('an it he that the shrewd, sagacious people of Maine cannot see that by yielding an inch to theso dogmas that threaten the public faith and specie re sumption they open the sluice-way to repudi ation und communism? Let us in due time, as their charters expire, deal with these natioual banks as may seem best for the public inter est, preserving always the ‘public honor and the specie standard. This platform says “The volume of our money should not van with the ehnnee production of the precious metals or the caprice of corporations.” This dogma is att absurdity on its face. Money is only needed to buy productions, and the quantity, value, and demand t'or produc tions create a necessity fur more or less money in precise proportion to their amount. A fixed volume of paper money is what the greenhnekers hare hitherto complained of: and one of the chief merits of the system of free hanking is. that it gives an opportunity for the ebb and flow of cnrrency, the increase or diminution of the volume depending, not upon the caprice of corporations, tint upon the demand and necessity for currency. In this respect national-hunk notes have greatly the advantage of paper money Issued by the Government, wldeh can only lie paid Ant no- cording to the wants and necessities of the government in the conduct of public business. The true doctrine is, that a volume of paper money, always redeemable in coin and main tained at par by ample reserves, increasing and diminishing according to the demands of business, should he provided bv the National Government under general laws, free and j open to ail alike. Our present system, eon-i sisting of gold and silver coin equal to each 1 other, and United States notes and bank j notes, always redeemable, comes nearer the j ideal form of money titan has ever heretofore been devised by man. (isEEllitcK I’oi.ii r in Onto. So much for the Maine platform. Let us turn now to some dogmas in the platform of the* Greenhackers in Ohio. They say, first: j “The Gene.al Government should issue an ample volume of full legal-tender currency to meet the business needs of the country, and to promptly pay all of its debts,” Here is the broad doctrine that the General Government must conduct all its operations w ith fiat money, made a full legal tender, and supply enough to meet the business needs of the country, llou much does this dugma demand i1 Jr or the latter purpose, to pay (Is debts, it would need abuut #1,700,IKK),l)0d. and for the former purpose, according to u moderate estimate of a conservative greeti baeker, it would require any where from #700,000,IKK) to #1*,IKK),IKK),(KK) more. In other words, they propose to strike at the foundation of all values by the issue of irre deemable paper money, to be used, a part in paving the national debt in violation of thr public faith, and the* balance a* a legal ten der upon all contract* and debt* between pri vate citizens. It is strange that honest men should proclaim atich a dogma and not he able t«* see that the only effect would he to destroy the value of this currency, and to compel citizens to resort t*» barter, and final ly, with or without law to coin again. This is the extremity of greenback Uni in Ohio. Again, they say*. o arc inflexibly tip posed to the issue by the government of in terest-lu ai ing bonds of any description for any purpose whatever.*' 11 till' dogma U:» I been adopted by tile got ernnieut. if w« tild have been utterly helpless during the recent war w ithout ere fit. with out the power t borrow money, without tin power ft* eondin t the njicranoiis of v.ar, or to carry on foreign trade. The power to borrow money i> indispensable to every government of tivili/ed mtin Itarbarians may live witli ut trade 4*r contracts or debts, but a country that bad non sources except to issue paper mon ey under dogma number one. and denied the power to contract debt* under dogma number two, would In* as weak as a rope of sand, and. undvr these eon .itions, our government would relapse into anarchy or despotism. They also say “The national-hanking system should be immediately abolished.” This only differs from the Maine platform in that it demands that the cation il hanks shall be tHhiictfH’triy a1 o'ished. Thev wi 1 not wait a year or u day. Without warning they will compel the collection of all the uotis held by the bank', and precipitate ruin upon ev *ry business man or n.au i.a ■turer in the country. They further sav “We demand the immediate calling in and payment of all I nired States b oi ls in full legal-tender money.” Till- is still more monstrous, when it is re membered that no debt of the Inited States is now due or redeemable; that this Admin istratiou L s redeeim d all the bond* that have matured by the issue o:‘ I percent, bond', in the way I have already stated Tin next bonds that are redeemable are those known as the long bonds of 1MS1, issued before the legal-tender net was passed, and the per cent, bonds issued under the refunding act. all of which are expressly payable in coin. It w ill be seen that tlii*> dogma demands that we should violate the express stipulation of the contract, not only a* to the time when tin* bonds shall he paid, but as to the manner in which they shall he paid. There was at one time an honest dispute as to the terms and eot.ditions upon which the the twenty bonds w mid be paid. Pavmi.nt of Komis in ( to the terms and i nn ditions upon which it must be paid, and vet it is proposed to violate these conditions by the wholesale, and place tin* 1‘nited States of America in a far worse position of dishonor and repudiation than Mississippi or I.onisi iina, or Egypt or Turkey. Is it possible to go farther in the road of dishonor than is proposed in these platforms? —and yet the democrats of the State ot Maine, members of the old, powerful organization which for half a century controlled the des tinies of tlie government, are asked at the end of u great war to support and maintain dogmas which strike at the public honor, the public faith, and all the cherished principles and aims of that party in its palmy days. You are now expected to adopt the rrnzv dogma of extreme opinions, at war with everything that was said tiv Jefferson, or Madison, or Jackson, or any of vour time honored leaders. I know that it is against the judgment, against the instincts, of old fashioned democrats to train under such a banner, and I appeal to them no v to come to the rescue of their country—nut to he carried hv a party name or a partv badge t p the dis honor of their country and the shame of their children. 1 have sometimes thought that the demo crats of the Northern States have been led through devious paths enough by the rebels of tlie South in their effort to destroy the government, and in their later movements to sap and mine ail the great powers of the na tional government: but these extiein green backers, as they are called, ask you now to follow them in a voyage more dangerous, up on dogmas that cannot meet the plain com mon sense and reason of patriotic citizens, such as compose the great body of the dem. ocratic party. t)ne of the members of t 'ongress from the State ot Maine, the lion.

Loral ant State Nctos. Thursday, July 24, 1879. Frank Haskell of this c ity, and Fred I*. Litchfield, recently of Brooklyn, N. V., hav ing formed a co-partnership, they are now fully prepared to carry on the manufacture and jobbing of corsets. They have four or five hands employed now at their factory on Bangor St., and have machinery for fifteen hands in all. They have one man on the road introducing their goods, which are j called the “Cushnoe" corsets. The wife of IVter Sibley of Sidney died at her home Tuesday night, after an illness of only three days. Dr. Besacy, who at tended her, pronounced her disease to be as near cholera as the climate1 would allow. It has been rumored upon Water street for a day or two past that Hotel North lias been leased, bit we nre informed that no arrange ments have been made for b asing it. The Monmouth Center Keform club are to eelebrate their fourth anniversary on Satur day next, July 2dth, at Town Hall. Meet- j ings are to begin at 'J o'clock 1*. M., ami 7 o'clock 1*. M. All Ucform clubs are cordially invited. The Lewiston Journal savs: “K. IL Pierce of Auburn, challenges Senator Maine to meet him in Wayne, and discus* tin* finan cial issue. Since Daniel Pratt challenged ex-Gov. Chamberlain to discuss with him the “Perihelion ot Modern Thought,” and the latter failed to come to time, the imitators of Pratt are to he found in every school dis trict.” The special ear in which Postmaster-Gen eral Key and party are travelling in. is a model for convenience and comfort. It be long* to the Pennsylvania Kail road Company, and is so arranged that a parlor, dining, sleeping and observation car are all combined in one. The platform has a railing around it so that |»cr*on* can take their chairs out and enjoy the scenery along the line of the rail road feeling perfectly safe from any accident. The storm here early yesterday morning ww* quite heavy and made our streets so niuddv the sprinkler will not he needed for some days. Those who were out in the storm could not easily hold their way on account of the intense darkness. The Kinuui Abbott Opera Company will ap pear in some of the large cities of the State in the fall. Simon II. Foss, who was born in Dexter and who went to Lcadvillc about a year ago, with a few hundred dollars, i* now rated as worth nearly a million. If Mr. Stafford will call upon Dr. Ilawe* he will probably ascertain who was responsi ble for the expense* of the greenback ora tor on Saturdav evening at Ilallowell. a* we learn the Dr. has been round among his friend* collecting tldrtv-Hve cents each to pav the bills. II u.l.uwn i.. in \faine Standard' The “thirty-five* cent article which appear ed in the Campaign Standard of the 23d was rather far fetched, a* the Dr. and his friends are not usually connected with Greenback pow-wow*. However, we presume if lie had known to what an exciting pitch their several orators reached, he would have gladly pre scribed an ice cream to cord their parched tongues. The ire cream* are paid fur; we hope the orator* of that memorable meeting an ii) at much. Vaxilla. The Maine Central Kailroad has put in a safety gate across the track at the head of the Gardiner and Pittston bridge. The owners have generously tendered tin* Della Collins, for a benefit for Harry Chad wick, the boy who was hurt on hoard her, on the 4th. She will make an excursion from Gardiner next Tuesday, to Fort Popliniu. This evening, at 7 o’clock, Messrs. Pinkhum and llcncdict will favor the music-loving citizens of Augusta with an organ recital at the Granite Church. The assistance of Mrs. Klins Millikennnd Mrs. J. 1). Myriek. has been secured, which will serve to make the recital more attractive. The programme is to he made up of classical numbers, ami will doubtless be a rich treat.
