(The Constitutionalist
AUGUSTA, C3--A-,:
Thursday Morning, Sept. 30, 1875.
Democracy and Hard Money.
When the Government was honestly
administered and men like Sumneb and
Thad Stevens had no power of “legis
lating outside the Constitution,” the
Democratse party was in favor of hard
money and nothing else. While the
Democracy were in power honesty and
economy prevailed, under rigid ad
herence to the fundamental law; and
no such thing as “rag currency” was
ever invented until the Abolitionists
plunged the country into a war that
nearly ruined the South beyond re
demption and the results of which bid
fair to desolate and torment the
North.
When the Republicans got into pow
er, though opposed by the Democracy,
they violated the Constitution, as Mr.
Clia.se when Chief Justice admitted, by
issuing greenbacks as a “war meas
ure.”
There was no more reverence for
Constitutional law in issuing green
backs than there was in emancipating
slaves. Both edicts were flagrantly il
legal and in defiance of the Constitu
tion. Men like Thad Stevens were
frank enough to admit this, and it is
the basest imposture for any man of
sense or reason, with the record before
liim, to pretend otherwise.
The South, without raising the Con
stitutional issue, accepted the freedom
of the negroes as an inevitable result
of the conflict. The greenback has
perforce been accepted in the same
way; and the Democratic party pro
pose to make the best of a bad bar
gain. returning to Constitutional
money ju3t so soon as it can be accom
plished whithout overwhelming the
producing classes in misery unspeaka
ble.
The St. Louis Times, on this subject,
is explicit and luminous. It says:
“ According to Democratic belief, the
issue of paper money „by the Govern
ment was unauthorized by the Consti
tution, and on that ground the Demo
crats protested against it. They pre
dicted the evils which paper money
would bring in its train, and their pre
dictions have been more than verified.
But the Radicals forced the paper
money system upon the country, and
we have it on our hands, and the ques
tion is, what shall we do with it? The
propriety of its issue is no longer a
subject for discussion ; the issue is an
accomplished fact. If the Government
had the power to issue paper money in
time of war, it has the same power in
time of peace ; but there is no longer
any question of constitutionality and
it was hardly worth while for the Ad
ministration to pack the Supreme
Court for the purpose of declaring the
legal tender act to be constitutional.
“Constitutional or not, the paper
money exists, and the currency issue
is a mere question of expediency and
possibility. The Democratic party is a
hard money party in so far that it
would never consent to the substitution
of a paper currency for coin, if it were
permitted to choose, but it is obliged
have been unwillingly forced into the
position of favoring a speedy and com
pulsory resumption of specie payments;
in other words, a substitution of coin
for paper as currency. In this they are
not honest, as they know that they
propose an impossibility. To speak of
resuming coin payment with no coin to
resume with, with no prospect of get
ting any, and in the face of a con
stantly rising coin premium, is worse
than absurd ; it is a great imposition.
If they should carry their theory into
practice they would be compelled to
resume coin payment on the Ist day of
January, 1879, if there shall be but flve
dollars in coin in the treasury. To ac
complish resumption with that flve dol
lars, they must reduce the paper circu
lation to flve dollars. If they should
have fifty million dollars in coin, it
would not make the case anytbetter.
The logical result of their plan is ruin.
"We have seen bow ruinous have been
their ineffectual efforts thus far, in the
mere passage of the resumption bill,
and we can judge the effect of con
tinued contraction] and of forced at
tempts to resume. The Democrats say
that it is better to bear the ills we have
than fly to others which we know too
well, and that it is idle to talk of get
ting rid of one currency before we can
see our way clear to another. In short,
tho Democrats do not propose to ruin
the country, in order to sustain their
reputation as a hard money party.”
There is little needed in addition to this
clear statement. The Republicans have
involved the country at large in finan
cial distress by ftheir issue of paper
money and abrogation of the Constitu
tion, and now, instead of making the
best of a monstrous policy, they pro
pose to repudiate their bantling and
choke it to death. The Democracy pro
pose to return to Constitutional princi
ples and practices as soon as possible,
but will not allow the people, in a
mass, to be prostrated in order that
the Ring of Bondholders may rise
upon the common wreck of indus
tries which have been compelled to
exist under a policy of Radical
dictation. Men with weak eyes cannot
come out of a dark chamber and gaze
into the sun without deadly peril ; and
men who have been forced into adapt
ing their business to a greenback cur
rency demand that time, and plenty of
it, shall be allowed them to save them
selves and their property. Meanwhile
the Money Power—the Plutocracy—
boa-constrictor like, while they have
the Government, are putting their re
morseless coils around the necks of the
debtor classes. The struggle now going
on is to break that tyranny, to dis
lodge the tyrants, to shiver their ma
chinery of oppression, and send the
marplots of the howl
ing back to their lairs. When
this shall have been accomplished ;
when honesty shall have the domi
nation of affairs ; when special legisla
tion shall be repealed ; when the pro
ducer shall not be stripped of every
thing to bloat the bondholders’ wealth
—then the Democracy will, without in
jury to any classes, and by judicious
progress, reform thejabuses that have,
under Radical mal-administration,
cursed and impoverished North and
South alike. With a man like Wm.
Allen in Gbant’s place, and economy
in and out of office, business will re
vive, patriotism will come from its
tomb, and hard money will follow at
the proper and appointed time.
“ Sermons in Shoes.”
Some days ago, we printed the opin
ion of a pious evangelical minister that
the most needed revival at this time
was that of practical piety and not
mere sentimentality. We want, he
said, “sermons in shoes.” The exact
meaning of that emphatic phrase never
struck us until we came across the fol
lowing editorial paragraph in the Chi
cago Tribune of Monday last:
That was a sound, practical sermon which
the Rev. Father Waldron, of St. John’s
Catholic Church, in this city, preached to
his flock yesterday. The good priest, in
his walks about the parish- a notable one
for its extreme poverty—found that the
streets were full of ragged and barefoot
boys and girls who should go to school
and to church. Looking deeper beneath
the surface than is tho wont of clergymen
when they look at all such things, Father
Waldron discovered that pride—the fact
that they are barefoot and ragged—is at
the bottom of it all. Now he didn’t forth
with ascend the pulpit and hold forth upon
the sinfulness of pride; he commended it
instead, and struck at the real root of the
evil when he earnestly appealed for funds
to clothe these sensitive little exiles from
school and church. He said: Givo them
the boots first, then we can get them to the
books afterwards. There’s the true mis
sionary idea in a nutshell—boots before
books—and the result will be that Father
Waldron will succeed in furnishing both.
Coming from a papor which is hostile
to everything like what it calls “priest
craft” this is significant. We have no
idea that the plan adopted by Father
Waldron is a novel one in any denomi
nation ; but it is timely and appropriate.
How many “street Arabs” have we in
our midst, who are running to weedy
ignorance and sin because they can not
go to school decently clad? Not many
perhaps; but if there are a few so
much more easily can they be recap
tured and, by a small outlay of prac
tical charity, made useful members of
society and taught to aspire to better
things than the language and rowdyism
of the freedom of the streets.
But there i3 a deeper moral than that
of barefooted pride. Are there no wo
men in this city who keep from church
on Sundays because they cannot dress
fashionably or even with a moderate
decorum that could stand the fire of
gaily attired scrutiny? It is true that
the eyes of God dwell upon a pure
heart, clad in rags, much more loving
ly than upon a worldly spirit, arrayed
in silks and satins, But it is the nature
of woman, in all classes of life, to dread
the inquisition and criticism of her
own sex, and we dare say this fear of
foolish raillery or disparagement
is a potent factor in keeping
many a poor and pious creature from
God’s sanctuary. It is a bad thing for
any church, when it deserves the stig
ma of being “fashionable.” If it be
wealthy, and should prefer to retain a
select circle of worshippers, would it
not. ho Woll fr.t' " - ‘ "*■ * t '°
to be employed in building another
house of prayer, where the pews are
either free or cheap, and where a poor

prehension of Madam La Mode’s sneer
or Mademoiselle Pin-Back’s elevated

We sincerely pity all indigent women
who are sensitive to the haughty stare
or unchristian remark of fellow, sin
ners. "We would to God their faith in
heaven were greater than their human
respect. But the “old Adam or Eve” is
not a lost principle in any of those
banished from Paradise, and it is the
duty of the fortunate to win unhappy
waifs from mental starvation and spir
itual death, by a noble stimulus to
their self-esteem, and not crush and
slay them by that false pride which
“goeth before a fall.”
Salaried Officers and Economical Pro
jects.
The Constitution, of Atlanta, does not
stand alone in the Gate City as a paper
that has in its employ a “funny man.”
The Herald editor has evidently been
spurred up to rivalry in that respect,
and his maiden effort is really a fine
piece of humor. Hear him:
Col. Randall, of the Augusta Constitu
tionalist, pausing in his breakfast of
champagne and toast, and poising the
breast of a partridge on his fork, remarks
that the Supreme Court Judges, instead of
asking for an increase of salary, should
reduce their expenses, as Andy Johnson
used to do, to less than their income. Tho
Herald had the honor of proposing, when It
was suggested that the pay of the Legis
lature be reduced, that a largo pot of pea
soup, concocted by tho Superintendent
of Public Works and boiled at the
expense of the State, should bo wheeled
into tho Capitol daily, and each member,
armed with a spoon and panoplied in a bib
and tucker, should be admitted for the
space of four minutes to its savory rim.
It was shown that in this way the Legisla
ture could be fed at nine cents a week per
head. We bog leave to announce that we
have now under advisement a plan, similar
in purpose and even more "economic in ande _
tail, by which the Supreme Court may be
fed and kept in fine condition at less than
the present cost of sustaining it. Will
Colonel Randall oblige us by curbing his
horses until we have been heard from?
We have had some fancy sketches
made at our expense recently, but none
so fanciful as the above. Our friend of
the Herald seems to have forgotten
that since the Chicago fire, not to speak
of recent failures in New York and
California, we have been obliged to re
duce our extravagant mode of living,
and no Spartan ever had a better di
gestion and plainer meals than this de
ponent. For champagne at breakfast
we have substituted such water as
the Savannah river affords, and the
breast of partridge quails no more
upon our golden fork. The lenten
days are for us perpetual, and an ad
monition from the pulpit that such and
such an occasion will be a season of
abstinence falls upon unheeding ears,
for it is a superfluous reminder. If our
income were as ample as that of a
Judge of the Supreme Court, and our
work as light, we should be able to
quaff once more the sparkling wine of
I France and impale the luscious bosom
] of the bird we love with gastronomic
! adoration. But such is not the case,
j and there the big wigs of the Bench
have us at a disadvantage. It was not
our intention to cut off, in any manner,
the luxuries of these learned pundits,
but simply to hint that if they choose
to exercise a wise thrift, even with the
wages allowed them at this time, they
might exist with decency and die mod
erately rich, just as Andrew Johnson
did.
So far as the members of Assem
bly are concerned, we are satisfied that
many of them are better paid for ser
vices rendered during their active offi
cial life than at any period of their pri
vate existence. If there were fewer
Solons, and held their’ meetings bien
nially, we believe it would be one of
the greatest blessings ever conferred
upon a State. We would not go to the
extreme of pea soup boiled at the ex
pense of the commonwealth, because
that might make some of the weaker
brethren seek “pap” in forbidden ways;
but if our Gate City contemporary in
sists upon his peculiar arrangement,
we dare say the excellent result will
follow of diminishing candidates about
two-thirds, and then perchance we
should have, a membership working
for the honor of the position and not
for the “fat take.” At any rate the
session might be shortened thereby,
and that is something to make the
soul of a tax payer magnify the Lord.
We patiently await the Herald's plans
and specifications, and if we can not
hold our own horses, having disposed
of all such expensive modes of rapid
transit, we shall be pleased to order
sombody else’s fiery untamed steeds to
bo curbed in their high career. Now,
proceed with your kitchen programme,
and if Gen. Austell and ex-Gov.
Brown approve it, consider us as a
subscriber in advance.
Adjusting Values, Small and Large—
Tho Theatrical Season.
The theatrical season will soon com
mence in Augusta. The grand heroes
and heroines of the sock and buskin
who have hitherto, as a general rule,
passed us by like Pharisees, are an
nounced for appearance on our boards
this winter. This" determination to
“ come South ” has been, no doubt, in
tensified and]quickenod by hard times
at the East and West. We dare say
these mighty stars, without paling
their fires, will lower their planetary
demands, or else shine upon us for
what they are worth. This being the case,
presumptively, let us hint to all whom
it may concern that a reduction of the
price of admission to the Opera House
would be a wise and acceptable reform.
Until this had been done at Chicago, for
example, the encouragement given was
slight. We read that the neglect to do
so in some other cities has resulted in
a “beggarly array of empty boxes.” If
the second-class troupes that intend
visiting us would rather play to full
houses at reduced prices than to hun
dreds of square feet of vacancy, they
will be guided by the gentle and well
meant hint we give them.
Edwin Booth, John T. Raymond, Lot
ta and some others may depend upon
good audiences, without reduction ;
but we firmly believe that even these
x .uuua reuucea
rate to their advantage. As to infe
rior performers, we know their fate is
sealed if they stick to tho old prices.
Of circus companies we say nothing.
They are usually cheap enough ; and,
whether they are or not, the whole
town, with a few religious exceptions,
cannot be kept from that kind of show,
if money has to be borrowed for the
occasion. We can hardly blame them.
T here is something subtle and seduc
tive in the sight of a huge tent, an ex
aggerated equestrian picture and the
smell of sawdust sprinkled over a ring.
We go to all such “shows” with enthu
siasm, and have, sometimes, in betrayal
of our trust a3 a “trained journalist,”
paid for tickets in order to enjoy the
entertain mentjwith greater zest.
But, seriously, and with a genuine
desire to make the theatrical season
successful for all companies worthy of
patronage, we repeat that a reduction
of rates i3 tho true road to anything
like prosperous houses.
Inexact.— The Chicago Tribune says:
“Gen William Preston, whose savage
outcry against reconciliation at the
University of Virginia last summer
produced such an unpleasant sensation
until he was promptly disowned as a
spokesman for the South, is not wrong
on all points. He has just delivered
an oration at the Henry County (Ky.)
Fair, in which he made a vigorous and
timely attack upon a protective tariff
and a dishonest currency.” Our con
temporary has confounded Gen. Wm.
Preston, of Kentucky, with Gen. John
S. Preston, of South Carolina.
Atlanta has 65 doctors and 135 lawyers.
But for the frequent deaths from starva
tion among them the two professions there
would become a little crowded.— (Jourier-
Journal.
We hope tho doctors before starving
will relieve Mayor Estes from the im
putation of having shipped them over
the Georgia Railroad. The lawyers
may perish occasionally, but that is no
reason why the Supreme Court will
have to be abolished.
Home SuppoßT.-The Athens Watch
man says “the excuse that goods may
be bought cheaper or work done for
less money .at distant points will not
bear the test of common sense. If it
is right for one jgan to adopt this
policy It is right for all,to do so. If it
becomes general it will break down and
destroy every kind of business in the
community, and make a ‘howling wil
derness’ of anyjtown on earth.”
Satisfied.—The editor of the Wash
ington Chronicle seems to be pretty
well satisfied that wo are neither im
mature in judgment nor short in
memory. Before asking us any more
questions ho had better answer some
we have put to him.
