HAI4I) MONEY AJ9 UAKI> TIMES.
Chitti-nden & Cos. Wreckers-True I>ero-
Oi ittlc Priiielpit-- : rWsy . •!.
Editors Constitution : It is said that
the devil can quote scripture as glibly
as a saint, when it suits his purpose.
So it is with the tools of the money
power and the bondh >hlin<; aristoc
racy, who have- c ontrol led congress
ional legislation since the war, and
who are still trying to control it to
the further ruin of the material in
terests of the country. They talk
about “democraticprinciples,” “hard
money democrats,” “inflationists,”
“rag-baby,” etc., as if they think tin*
people are all fools and do not know
that circumstances alter cases, and
that times change and men must
change with them. They talk about
Thomas 11. Ikniton, tm’dion and
“peppermint (traps,” and Andrew
Jackson and his national .bank veto,
which institution was a private con
cern, as are the two thousand and one
national banks of the present day, in
whose interests they are at work to
the impoverishing of the people.
Times change and wise and honest
men change their views to meet
them. Were Andrew Jackson and
Thomas H. Benton living to-day,
they would he found along side of the
gal hint- William Allen, oppo ing cor
ruption in high places, and against
class legislation ; because, like Allen,
they were true democrats, ana well
understood that democracy moans, or
1 should mean, “the greatest good to
| the greatest number.”
William Allen was cotemporary
I with Thomas H. Benton, and at that
time entertained similar views with
Benton, which were correct. It was
| before the days of railroads and tele
! graphs, aud many other modern im-
I proveme.nts (tor the world moves)
| when there are but little commerce
and but few people in this country,
i frea<l between the lines Messrs.
Wreckers), and the trade of the mi•
! tion to a large extent was carried on
through the medium of barter. It
was in the days of the “barbarous
stage coach” and the savage liorso
i back mode of traveling. Again, it
was before the war between the
states, anu belovo the present bonded
national debt was created, winch is
draining gold coin from the general
government at the rate ol one hun
dred millions of dollars per annum,
in the shape of interest on non-taxa
ble bonds.
William Allen, the honest man,
the statesman, the true and tried
democrat that he is, takes in the sit
uation and agrees with Jefferson, the
father of democracy; Franklin, the
philosopher; Calhoun, the great
Beale rights leader, and a host of
other patriot statesmen, both dead
and-living, that a bonded debt and a
bondheHing aristocracy is a curse to
a lepubli?, while the same debt con
verted into non-interest bearing
treasury notes or exchequer bills and
math; ii full legal tender, including
UiUuei on the public debt and
import duties, would prove a b]ess
ku', and in the language of Mr. Jef
ferson, “take the place of so much
gold and silver cpn.”
William Allen was only beaten, in
his memorable race with Mr. Hayes,
about 5,000 voles out ol nearly oeo,ooo
cast, and every schoolboy, of louv-
Lean years of age, knows the cause
and the wrfeokiii- company ought to
•k'HUIV tt* J"t 'vrnP" camTt
ern qiiv dtion was not 11\ cu and racl
realism was rampant; and further,
because the wreckers’ pet boiulhoid
ing crowd of cormorants in the east
contributed ihocH-miy of doll ms, and
sent it to Ohio to (iclvat Air. Ahon.
If, as the wrecker’s claim, the dem
ocrats lost Wisconsin by 3,000 votes
this year, because the deuu)iji’a|.s hud
a greenback platform, then \Vrscmit ]
sin H agiiii st the wrecker’s policy, of j
a forced speedy resumption of hard
money, fail 29,000 majority ; because
the straightout greenback liefcef noil- j
od over 05,000 in that state this year, j
It is true that the democrats in j
Congress generally voted against the j
greenbacks when they were first i
issued; but it is equally true that
they voted against the war itself, and j
many other radical measures, j
But is that any reason why, \y hep a
thing is an accomplished fact, they j
should not accept it, and try to make ’
the best of it ?
l)o professed democrats, who hS-VO !
joined or are working in conjunction |
with the wreckers, realize the com-1
puny they are getting into 1 / Of I
course they know who voted these)
rascally contraction, demoneiisingsd
ver and forced resumption Jaws upon
an unsuspecting country. The most
iniquitous act of all of them was the
act of 1869, which changed the origi
nal contract, jn which the bondhold
ers were to ho paid in greenbacks, to
coin! I have (he vote fis reporded
before me, Among the yeas we find
Chandler, Coukling, Bumner, Sher- j
man, lloutwell, Schenk, ct id ointtfi ]
f/< ;nnt. Among the nays are Bayard, j
Booliltio, {Jendricks, Cobb, Hop
kills, Kerr, Knoß, Tid, Young, and |
almost evny other democrat then in 1
Congress. j
Alter this nefarious act came the
act demonetizing silver, changing
the contract again, from silver and
gold, to gold coin alone, thus dechir-J
ing that greenbacks and silver gre
good enough for the soldiers and peo
ple, but not for the bondholders who
pay no tax. Then fallowed the forc
ed resumption act of 1875, the in ten- i
tipn of which is to depreciate the
value of real estate and increase the !
value of t ’idled fSfates bonds and the !
purchasing power of goid- the bond- j
Holder’s money, the effect of which ;
will be to finally transfer the real j
estate of this country to the bond
holders; thereby creating aland hold
ing aristocracy us in England,
The way to make one money for
all, is for the people, the true democ
racy, to unite' and enforce the origi
nal contract; and, also, enact that the i
bondholders and the government
shall receive greenbacks! and Ever
coin for interest and import dudes.!
Make the government sustain iter I
own credit and her treasury notes j
v.::! goto par immediately, It was j
not the resumption and kindred acts I
which caused greenbacks to appreei- ]
ate in value as the wreckers would :
have the people believe. It was be
cause the union armies were victori
ous and the federal government es
tablished on a basis which gave con- :
faience in its stability. Had the |
southern question been settled in j
1805, ftß it should have been, and j
greenbacks declared a full legal ’
tender, they would have gone to par
with gold immediately, and tc-day
they would be at a premium upon
gold. Why? Because they would
answer all the purposes of gold to
pay bondholders and at the custom
houses, and are more convenient to
handle—more portable, as a friend
expresses it.
If Mr. Stephens will only strike
out the funding feature of his recent
bill and provide for triple the amount
of exchequer bills— greenbacks a full
legal tender—named therein, to take
the place of interest bearing govern
ment bonds and engineer it through
Congress, he will save ids country

SENATOR SI. C. BUTLER.
After some unimportant prelimi
nary ifiisiut-as, Mr. JHitler, of South
Carolina, submitted the following:
Reiolced , That the Committee on
Priveieges and Elections Do and here
by instructed to inquire forthwith
and report, 43 soon as may he practi
cable, any threats, promises or ar
-1 augments respecting existing or
cum 0.-Tdcd accusaiiO-U fif criminal

any other corrupt or otherwise un
lawful njesins or infiueuc£w have been j
in any in an her used or put in opera-j
lions, directly or indirectly, by M. !
C. Butler, one of the Senators from !
the State of South Carolina, or by ;
any other Senator or other person,
for tho purjxise' of influencing the
vote of Senators on the question of
discharging said committee from the
consideration of said fit, C. Butler’s
credentials, or the other questions,
at the late session of the Senate, and
that said committee have power to
send for persons and papers, and to
sit during Ifio sitting of the Senate.
Mr - Butler said he submitted the j
resolution in pursuance of a notice
which had been previously given
when his credenti ds were under
consideration in the Senate. The
resolution was substantially that of
fered by the Senator ffoia Vermoni,
Mr. Edmunds, at'that' time.” So far
as (Mr. Butler) was concerned, lie
desired, he might say he demanded,
that the fullest investigation bo made
touching'llia conduct in connection
with his admissson to the Senate,
When the Senator from Vermont,
Mr. j 'lmuud.i, submitted ids reso
lution to inquire into tho charges,
he read ah extract from the
New York Tribune. lie therefore
hoped that the extract would go be
fore the committee and they would
examine the charges contained there
in, He asked, for the present ponsid
eration of the resolution.
Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, object
ed and the resolution went over.
Millcdgevillo Union and Recorder:
We are persuaded that the future
well-being of MilledgeviHe is not de
pendent upon any such issues as those
that have just been settled. ] jer pop
ulation and business have increased
fifty per cent since the conclusion of
the late war. It is well, perhaps,
that the disturbing influence of the
papitrd question Is removed from the
consideration of her people in the
adoption of their plans for the future.
Their prosperity, under Providence,
is ffi their qwn hands; dependent on
their own enterprise, industry and
perseverance. Undoubtedly, we es
cape some serious evils that would
necessarily have followed the location
of the capita} here. Let n accept!
the situation cheerfully, thanking I
our friends cordially for their support |
and forgetting, as far as possible, ev*
cry thing rind was unpleasant and
irritating in the campaign just brougt
to a close.
Brother Hayes went to hear Parson
Newman for the first time. And the
parson read aloud from the book,
“Thou art tlie man.” And Brother
Hayes hid his face in a Methodist
hymn book and caught Brother
\\ heeler, who was also worshiping
in-thesame stall, by the calf of the
leg, and whispered to him, “New
man is a liar.” And Brother Wheel
er groaned an amen that was Metho
dist to the back bone.— Chicago Times.
llcw sad that in our daily life we
neglect so many things necessary to
our well being. The man of business
with an eye only to his credit in the
financial world, the individual of ele
gant leisure whose only aim is to ar
ray-himself to the best advantage,
the young lady who idly listening to
spring’s divine harmonies, feels not
the approach of disease in the feeling
of languor which possesses her—all
alike surrender too easily to the ad
