gjjc Constitutionalist AUQUSTA, GA,: - Wednesday Morning, Sept. 22, 1875. A Grave Concession—Revolt of the People—Wm. Allen. Not long ago, we quoted from the New York Times a very significant ar ticle, which admitted the likelihood of the Democratic party obtaining posses sion of the Government next year. The Times said: “ They will do so beyond a doubt if the people are prepared to try the financial policy so enthusiasti cally received in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. And we are not so con fident as some of our Republican friends that the people do not intend to try it.” There must be some deep-seated and powerful cause behind all this commo tion in several great States of the Union hitherto strongly Republican or doubtfully Democratic. The industrial classes are abroad, and they have votes. They are fearfully in earnest, and will make themselves felt, East and West. Some may be bought out, some are driven to murder, robbery, vagabondage and suicide, but the vast majority are patiently and hon estly awaiting the day of reck oning with their betrayers. These masses of men look around and behold not only that the means of living are wrested away or blighted, but also that the country is drifting into a devil’s dance of immorality, socially, financially and politically. They dis cover that the rascals hope to profit by this condition of affairs, and they see that, unless checked effectually by honest votes, the future will be infi nitely worse than the present. Winter is coming. It has even come, in some sections of the Union. Frost and snow are heralded; but business has not re vived, and to hundreds of thousands the grip of the Ice King means misery ineffable, because they have no work to do, no money to buy clothes to pro tect their nakedness or coal or wood to keep them warm. The Now York Day Book, which is a bold and outspoken journal, attempting to solve the cause of so much distress in a country of such boundless resources says: “It is the fruit of the great national curse, the public debt of §2,300,000,000. The masses have carried this debt in its present shape as long as they can. Tax ation has set them frantic. They are undergoing the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition, through the results of that huge curse, the public debt. The pecu liar relation that debt bears to the masses is to be changed. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana recognize this. White slavery to greedy bondholders is to be abrogated. The attempt to get the pound of flesh has brought with it big drops of blood, and the awakening of the three States of Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania warns the organs of the bondholdiDg party of what is to follow. This nation will bleed to death under the specie depletion, through coin interest on the debt paid to Europe. This yearly drain has kill ed the “specie basis” of banking, and the South and North mean “business” in the line of a radical change which will give national relief. The Times sees that the Republican party must go down under the big earthquake wave now coming, and so hints to its miserable followers. Democracy is awake ; that “corpse” is stalking over the land, and has a big work before it. God bless Old Cincinnattjs, who struck the first stout blow in 1873, and makes the next huge and successful attack upon the shattered stronghold of nig ger Republicanism, on Oct. 12. He has brave soul3 with him, but truly he is the noblest Roman of them all.” Ay, “God bless old Cincinnati’s !” He was the first of the public men at the West to come forth from retirement and proclaim that the virtues, princi ples and practices of old times were the only ones worth having, and that the country must be saved by restor ing to power the men who were “Bour bon” and “old fogy” enough to prefer the slow and sure methods of the past to the headlong “progress” of the new epoch which means, in its last analy sis, war, assassination, defalcation, debt, taxes, self-slaughter and the overthrow of the social fabric, by the recklessness of men and the depravity of women. He shows the people that they have been the victims of special legislation, which is legalized rob bery, and that the tax-gatherer comes to them yearly and monthly, not for the purpose solely of “running the ma chine,” as Mr. Lincoln expressed it, but to keep a party in power, to or ganize theft and to enrich the few at ' the expense of the many. In his latest speech Gov. Allen thus illustrated the true status of the people: You know that there are in the United States a full million of men, honest labor ing men, seeking employment, who cannot get it. You know that a large portion of your manufactories are stopped and the la borers turned out of employment. You know that breakings are going on. Banks and merchants are failing. In a word, you know that there is a universal stagnation of business in the land, and you know that the eauso of that stagnation is the want of money. Without a sufficient circulating medium it would be just exactly like a far mer who had a farm to cultivate and had only half enough plows to cultivate it. It is just like one of these manufactories that only have half enough material to keep them running, and, consequently, for the want of this circulating medium this de pression exists among the people and all the forms of human industry in the coun try. These men, nevertheless, go about and cry there is too much money in this country. I wish to God we could find some of it. [Laughter.] They say it is in the banks. Is it? It might just as well, for the purposes of money and currency, be in the bottom of the Pacific ocean, for if it is not in circulation it is no more money than so many cornstalks would be. To be money it must circulate as a medium for carry ing on the exchanges of the country.— I don’t mean exchanges with foreign countries. We see an immense amount about exchanges from foreign countries in the papers—that the exchange is so much in favor of England, in consequence of the inequality in the balance of trade, and they will put this down in figures and think they are talking about something big. Now, the domestic exchanges of the people in the business of their daily life is a thousand times greater than the foreign exchanges in this country, and it is the want of money to carry on these millions of cases where men make bargains, buy and sell things all over the country, day and night, from a mug of lager beer up to a farm or a great factory. Here is domes tic exchange that requires an immense amount of circulating medium, and If the Government has not furnished it, and no body else has the power to furnish it, it seems to me that your Government is act ing the fool. [Applause and laughter. 1 Un fortunately, of late years the people have become somewhat strangers at Washing ton City. The Government has been sur rounded by a parcel of fast fellows there that have grown rich by public plunder. They dash and whirl about and call them selves fashionable society, and the Presi dent never looks over them and sees the millions and millions of men hard at work upon their farms and in the work shops. * * * The Democrats passed a platform which signified that there was not quite enough money in the country and that there ought to be more. The other side bristled up and thought they had us; they went about through the country, and they found every man they met, from the largest manufac turer down to the smallest retail dealer, told them, ‘I should like to have a little more money. [Laughter.] I can’t carry on my business witho>'+ some more.’ When they found that the whole country had gone against them, they looked around and said; ‘Well, there is nothing more but to attack the Catholics and tell lies.’ [Ap plause and laughter.] And that is what they are about. But see how'tnith travels. It is a great way to California, up past the Rocky Mountains; but truth has got there. We sent it by the wires and by mail from Ohio. It has got over there, and the con sequence is that California has flopped over to the Democratic Party. In Pennsylvania, renowned for many years as a tariff State and called a hard money State, their poli cians, about a month ago, were laughing at the Democracy, scoffing at them, calling them nurses of rag babies. [Laughter.] But the Ohio people continued to argue at them. We gave them reason for their abuse, and finally they found that it was they who deserved to be left out, and not us; and here, in the convention of the|great State of Pennsylvania, .the other day, lo and behold, their State flops over and adopts Uie Ohio platform. [Applause.] And so they will continue to do. It is a plain ease. Why, these fellows come arguing about to tell the people they have got too much money or got enough. It is just like a man going into the house of his neighbor, and seeing him writhing on the bed with a toothache. The poor follow is nearly crazy with the pain, but the neighbor undertakes to persuade him that there is nothing the matter with him. “ Oh, my good fellow,” he says, “you have got no toothache.” “But I have got a toothache.” “O, it can’t be possible! Let me look at your tongue!” [Laughter.] Can you persuade a hungry man that he don’t want bread? Can you persuade the man whose factories are clos ed, the farmer whose produce sells for eo more than what pays his taxes, can you persuade the unfortunate thousands that are seeking bread, and for its sake seeking labor, can you persuade them that nothing is the matter? I don’t think you can, and that is the reason why I count upon the State of Ohio coming up to the work next month, and tolling out a majority of from thirty to ninety thousand on the Democra tic side. [ Applause.] That is what we look for. We know very,well that when a na tion is distressed, like when an individual is distressed, it will seek relief from that distress. But these people who are asking you to renew their lease of power do not promise you any release. Not a bit of it. They tell you there is too much money in the country already, but they do not tell you how you can get it. Now, the reason that money is piled up In bank so strong is, because the scarcer the money is among the people the more their farms will depre ciate in value, the more cheap labor will become; and when they have the money ready, and the farmer’s farm gets down to about one-fourth of its value, they will be ready to buy of you. So with every thing else. The scarcer they can keep money the lower the labor and property of the people will depreciate, and the greater will be their profit when the people are compelled to sell their property in order to live at all. Well, we have got them this time. [Laughter.] And we will hold them, and we will run this Government, if we get it in our possession, in the interest and for the benefit of the entire people. We will not run it to form cliques and rings, not run it fi>r this class or for that class, but for all the people. Did you ever hear this word “ring” four or five years ago ? That is an invention. The next dictionary that is printed of the English language ought to explain what that word “ring” means. Defalcation and public plunder had become so common that it became a regular branch of business. They could not, I suppose, get out of Congress, without it was in some night session, a charter to authorize rogues to do as they pleased, and steal as much as they pleased, and, therefore, a partnership of rogues was formed, and they denomi nated themselves “rings.” So there are rings of rogues ranged around a pile of money placed in the centre, and they are all trying to get at the money. These are rings. Well, we will have none of them. We will have general laws that shall act like the laws of nature upon all men alike. We will not charter two thousand bankers. We will not levy four or five hundred mil lions of taxes upon the people to pay bond holders in gold, when upon tho face of the bonds they are entitled to be paid in paper alone. The extract is a long one ; but how much truth and sense it contains ! It is a genuine and not overdrawn picture of the condition of the people. It is just the kind of talk they should under stand and appreciate. It is the key note by which the Democracy can march to such a triumph as was never before known. Woe to the country and the pariy if the Manhattan Club loungers and policy-mongers succeed in beclouding the true issue and induce the people to desert their best and bravest champion! Disloyalty.— The National Republi can, of Washington City, charges that the South is “disloyal,” and proves it by an extract from Col. Lamar’s latest speech, in which he said : “That the South was more oppressed than any civilized people of our age ever have, been; that the Government of the United States had used the ignorant negro as an instrument to oppress the white peo ple of the South, and that it had found leady tools in men of Northern birth set tled among us to play upon tho passions and excite the prejudices of semi-barba rians, degraded and brutralized by loag ye~rs of servitude.” If “disloyalty” consists in speaking the truth, then are Col. Lamar and the South amenable to the charge. If Col. Lamar were called before God’s judgment seat, he would not have oc casion to blot out one word of his speech. Pierrepont. —Attention is called to the Attorney General’s tom-foolery about “lawless traitors to human rights.” He is reminded that “official documents and legal pleadings do not admit of florid adornments.” We dare say he wrote that nonsense to quiet the howling idiots, with his finger on his nose. Bubble Concerns —An Old Merchant on Commercial Sharpers. An old East India merchant solves the knotty problem of financial chaos in many parts of the world. Writing to the Pall Mall Gazette, he says: “I “ confess that what puzzled me a little “ was while I was cutting down my ex “ peuses, seeing how narrow the mar “ gin of profit had become, and endeav “ ing to avoid all doubtful transactions* “ men neither older nor better inform “ ed than myself in comparatively new “ firms were living at a rate that I could “ not begin to emulate. But what “ puzzled me still more was that, al •* though I knew by careful and per “ sonal examination that we traded as “ close, both here and in India, as any “ one, although our bills were always “ sought after, and, having capital, we “ were in no hurry to realize, and could “ afford to be content with a moderate “ percentage, we were, nevertheless, “ undersold at prices which we could “ not pretend to compete with except at “ a dead loss. I have positively known “ certain classes of goods consigned by “ houses here sold in Bombay “ at less than the whole “ sale price by contract in the “ city where they were manufactured— “ and this not as a single Instance. “ There Is no money to be made at that “ game unless it be other people’s. In “ deed it required the greatest care on “ our part to avoid being ruined alto “ gether by such systematic flooding “of an already glutted market. When “ the end of the beginning of the end “ came, as it has come within the last “ few weeks, the whole thing became “ clear enough. These benefactors of “ their species who sold cheaper than “ anybody else could buy, sinking “ freight, interest and commission, had “ really little or nothing at stake in the “ matter, and could well afford to sa “ crifice profits so long as they could “‘float’ their paper. More than one “ Board of Directors have found out “ by this time that the lucrative part “ of that business is not done by the “Jbanks. Indeed, if the four rules of “ arithmetic can be relied upon to give “ absolute results, they have not fin “ ished their lesson yet. Meantime, “ steady-going folk like ourselves have “ been the sufferers for the credulity of “ some of * the ablest men of business “ in the city of London.’ ” Jay Gould.— The New York Sun says: “We learn that Jay Gould is making an extraordinary effort to get control of the Western Union Tele graph Company in the annual election which occurs early in October. To do this it is not necessary for him to buy a majority of tho stock, a sufficient mass of proxies will be qiute as effec tual. For this purpose 1 . is employ ing an ingenious novelty, believed to be of his own invention. A great propor tion of the company’s shares are in the hands of brokers, who have advanced money on them to speculators by whom they have been purchased. For the transfer of such shares Mr. Gould, as we are informed, is now paying a neat commission. The shares after being transferred are at once handed back to their holders, so that they are in no danger of being sold by the new ostensible owner, and can be transferred back again upon the books of the company after the election.— This secures to Gould or his repre sentative the right to vote upon these shares, and, should he succeed by this means in getting command of the com pany and electing a board of directors to suit himself, he will thus gain the power of distributing, after the old Erie fashion, that immense part of the company’s stock which is held by it as a reserve.” To which the New York Herald adds: “Now, to put such a ma n in charge of our telegraphs is to give him a dangerous control over our busi ness and commerce, our private, politi cal and social life. The telegraph sys tem is only another phase of the postal system. It is the improved post office. The time must come when we will have to consider whether it is not necessary for the good of the people that the Government should control this great machine. The surest way to bring that time about is to allow it to fall into the hands of a rapacious and des perate gambler like Jay Gould.” A True Evangelist.— The Rev. Dr. Cuyler writes a short but marrowy sermon for the Independent, concerning the sort of revival that is most needed just now. Here it is: The revival we need is not only a revival of sounder scriptural preaching, but a re vival of true Christian living. We have had quite a surfeit of the religion which luxuriates in the devout fervors of the prayer meeting and the camp ground, which sings sweet hymns and applauds sweet sermons, and then goes straight off to Its money-grasping and its pleasure seeking, and its panderings to self and sin. God forbid that we speak lightly of true spiritual emotion. But the Christianity which Christ demands is something deeper than a song or a sermon or a sacrament. It is the holy and humble imitation of Himself. The revival, then, which we need Is a .revival of the religion which keeps God’s commandments; which tells the truth and sticks to its promises; which pays twenty shillings to the pound; which cares more for a good character than a fine coat; which votes at the ballot-box in the same direction that it prays; which denies ungodly lusts, and which can bo trusted in every stress of temptation. A revival which will sweeten our homes and chasten our press and purify our politics and cleanse our business and commerce from roguery and rottenness would be a boon from heaven. A revival which will bring not only a Bible knowledge but a Bible con science to all is what the land is dying for. The world’s sorest want to-day is more Christlike men and women. The preaching it needs is—more sermons in shoes. Adams. —Some of our contemporaries have been persuaded that Mr. Charles Francis Adams, in his recent letter, de clined the Presidency. When will they learn that Mr. Adams, like Charlotte Cushman and the Ravels, have been playing “ farewell engagements ” for half a century ?

Nuxt elections—Ohio and lowa, October 12. “Let no guilty man escape, if it can be avoided,” said Mr. Grant, whereupon Mr. Wilkinson, Collector of St. Joseph, Mo., third-term editor and Influential politician, having proved $15,000 shore, and finding it could not bo avoided, escaped. The Columbia (S. C.) Union-Herald, is call ing upon the Republican leaders in that State to realize that public opinion In the North and West has become fixe upon the fact that State Governments which cannot exist save when surrounded by Federal bayonets are not worth preserving. We learn from the Auidurn Advertiser that a retired produce merchant and prom inent friend of ex-Secretary McCulloch, from Indiana, who is visaing that city, brings tho Important information that the Indiana Republicans consider Senator Mor ton the coming man for ijie Presidency, and ox-Speaker Blaine thy coming man for the Vice-Presidency, unless the Conven tion shall take Senator Boo’ra, of Califor nia. Well, well! < The Boston News, no doubt, hits the nail on the head when it says “ t,hat the people of Maine are tiring of the management of the Republic in party. There is the Blaine faction and the Hamlin faction and the Morrill faction, all quarreling for ascend ancy in the party. The people have little interest in mere men, and where principles are made a secondary consideration, and the success of certain schetiling politicians is the main object, there inevitably grows up a feeling of disgust and a disposition to kill off all the and to start anew, with principles rather than men as tho main object at Issue.” * A prominent and well-known gentleman of Connecticut writes us as f 'Hows: “Eight years ago I was a thorough-going Republi can. To-day I am one of the most ‘de moralized’ Republicans in the State. I have advised my son to take a stand with the Democratic party.” This excellent advice is identical with that which tho late Rev. Dr. Joel Hawes said ho would give to a son of his, had he a son about entering upon his majority.—Hartford Times. Vice-President Wilson cultivates the arts of popularity as constantly as Cincin natus cultivated cabbages, and we can hardly say that we arc surprised to learn that he recently took the high moral ground of paying his fare m a Brooklyn horse-car. He had, in fact, paid it before his identity was discovered by the conduc tor, who immediately came: and engaged the distinguished but tedious statesman in tho toils of amiable speech, striving to per suade him to take back the five cents. But It was unavailing. He always paid his fare, he said, and was opposed to dead heading. And with this slur on the Ad ministration and the consciousness of five cents’ worth of rectitude under his waist coat he disappears in the mi >t of the local chronicler and'fades over the horizon of Bay Ridge.—[N. Y. World. From Mr. Bayard’s Baltimore speech the other day we quote as follows: “Mr, Bayard alluded to the condition the coun try had been brought by tho party in pow er. He did not believe thero over had been such depression and stagnation of indus tries, lack of occupation, an Lapprehension of danger as now In this country. The losses of the war were set down at $12,000,- 000,000, the accumulation of a century, which will require years to recover. Tho Republican party does not Bbind upon the issues of the last ten years. Their cries of Southern outrages have been exposed, and their slanders of honest men must cease. They have shifted the issues, and now ad dress themselves to the lower passions and bring up the gaunt spectre of Know-Noth- Inglsm. They raise the issue of religious intolerance. It is proclaimed dn the land of George Calvert, upon a street bearing his name, that men shall be proscribed for religious opinions. Of all p aces on the eartli this was the last from which such proscription should come.” [Applause] SPECIAL NOTICES. \ Coloni ts, Emigrants andjTravelersjWestward.
