(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 er membership might go without ap prehension of Madam La Mode’s sneer or Mademoiselle Pin-Back’s elevated proboscis ? 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. The most mournful episode in a man’s life is paying a confectionery bill after his girl has jilted him. President Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, says when the win ter comes the fast mail trains will come to grief on cracked rails. Letter rip. SPECIAL NOTI PAY YOUR STATE ANDCO ipY TAXES.
