Free Trade Triumphs.
The places where free trade points for its
triumphs human life is to be seen in its most
degraded conditions. The clatter of the wood-en-shoed
Manchester factory hands in the
dark of a winter's morning, the tread of the
collier boys long before daybreak, and the
coarse laugh of the bank girls on their way to
the pits, the stare of half-naked boys and
girls in the brick fields, the semi-savage hab
its of women and girls in the nail district
the million of public-fed paupers, and millions
of papers starving in their honest pride, pre
ferring any suffering to the workuouse, the
sweating system of tailors, the mere animal
life of the peasants of agricultural countries,
are among the glorious sounds and sights of
free trade, the great principle of which is that
neither humanity nor religion has any right to
stand between the buyer of labor and the
seller in any effort the former may make to
monopolize trade by cheap goods. Toronto

ment.
- The various public iontitu lions of the
State are in a desperate Htrait to make
"ways and means" to meet their ends,
or to make "both ends . meet." Stew
ards and others now in office are mak
ing treat professions of economy in the
present management over their prede
cessors that are not warranted by the
facts. As a rule, with only a possible
exception, the management of the
State's charities under Republican au
spices has been with an eye single to
the public good and the welfare of the
institutions.' The political complexion
of officials and employes was . not con
sidered. - Now, as a rule, all this is
changed; the institutions are run in the
interest of the Democratic part . The
well being of the inmates, their health,
educrttjob, and discipline are of minor
imporUcce. UuW. U du all thn, to
plunder the funds and at the same
time keep up the pretense aud make a
show of economy taxes the ingenuity
of such men as David W. Brook-, who
was (be Columbus Asylum, Robert

This all looks very well. ' Now.what
are the facts? We thought it must bo
either a falne statemeut oi susceptible
of some explanation; and went over to
the Auditor of State's offico for the
truth, 'and got it and found it Strang
er than fiction. If there is not a com-
tuiltee of inquiry plying Mr. Bell with
questions, it will be because they don't
want the facts. , Mr. Bell gives the
first three months of his management
ot the Athens Asylum, and demon
strates to his satisfaction (?) his ability
tt save some $23,000 a year in the cur
rent expenses of that institution. We
find, oii! the contrary, that he entered
the office with over $900 in cash turned
over by Mr. Hamblin, that he received
from the State Treasury $6,000 during
the first month, $0,000 the second
month, and $14,000 for the month end
ing Annual 15 las!; he reports only
$9,081.41 disbursed in the August state
ment; what has become of the $5,000?
Can it be possible that it is being used
in tha vain effort to defeat Van Vorbes,
'Of helping" the desperate condition of
the tried and doomed Converse, who
v ill be defeated by the very same
sgencies that prevented his nomina
tion for Governor last year? Rise up,
Mr. Bell, and explain.
While at the Auditor's office appli
cation was made for payment of the
expenses of the benevolent institutions,
and the discovery was made that the
appropriation was exhausted a month
ago. Mr. Alexander, the great finan
cier, cut down the estimate largely,
notwitstanding the large increase in
the number of Trustees. The Trus
tees of the Blind Asylum alone have
already incurred traveling expenses of
upward of $500 for four months, against
$22.50 for the whole of last year; and
besides they present a receipt dated
September 14, 1878, for $52.13 for the
expenses incurred in -traveling and
purchasing a team for the Institution
for the Blind. Here's reform indeed.
The law provides that the trustees oi
the several benevolent institutions
shall render service gratuitously, but
Bhali be allowed their necessary expen
ses, while In the discharge of their du
ties; appropriation is made for paying
such expenses. In the interest of bun
combe, as illustrated in the legsslative
of Bepresen tati ve Alexander
Chis appropriation was made for half
the amount needed, bat the Trustees
of the Blind Asylum, making it con
venient to travel at the expense of the
State, spend the above sum and have
it charged to the Current Erpenaejund,
for the support and maintenance of the
Institution a clear infraction of law.
Bad spelling and false syntax can be
freely excused when attendant upon
sound sense and atom integrity, but
when Democratic Trustees, blatant in
their hypocritical cries of economy and
reform, pay themselves twenty-five
per cent commission for buying horsi 8
for their own use, it was time thHt they
were kicked out of the offices they dis
grace. There is no more sacred posi
tion in the construction of our Govern
ment than to take in trust the over
sight of one of our mammoth institu
tions.
A Chat With Workingmen.
..The workingmen who are impelled
to join new political organizations from
a supposed necessity of banding togeth
er to protect themselves against capi
tal are making a serious mistake.
Capital, as any prime of political econ
omy will tell you, is accumulated
labor. There never can bo any rea
hostility between the two, because
what helps the one helps the other,
and what hurts the one hurt the other.
Without labor capital is powerless;
without capital labor is reduced to its
elementary form of crubbing the soil
with a wooden spade or hunting the
beasts of the forest. Every tool, imple
ment, vehicle, house and garment is
the combined result of the euergies ot
capital and labor. Every man who
possesses anything . beside his two
hands is to a certain extent a capitalist.
The wholu fabric of civilization with
whied the welfare of nil classes, high
and low, is indiso!ubly bound up, de
pends upon the security of accumulat
ed earnings, whether they are in the
form of the poor man's cottage and
little savings bank deposit or too rien
man's bonds and mortgages. The
broad distinction between savage and
civilized society liesii the s mctity of
property, and all assaults upon the
right of every man to keep what he has
earned or inherited tend directly . to
ward barbarism-
But you will say that it is the vast
accumulations of capital In few hands
that you are aiming at. You .would
make Vanderbills and Stewarts aud
Aslors ahd Tom Scott impossible in
the future by taxing their wealth into
the public treasury. Yet you will see
ny a moment's reflection that in the
present condition of the world it is nec
essary that a few men should control
large amounts of money in order to
carry on the huge enterprises that de
velop the country, employ labor ai d
advance civilization. How could rail
rouJs bo built, steamships run, mines
opened and gret factories operated if
there were no rich men? You need the
railroads, the cheap ti ur produced in
itiauiwioin mills by costly machinery,
toe cheap cioihiu)- and shoes from the
factories, thecheap fuel from the mines,
and you need the employment which
the great manufacturing, mining, and
transportation enterprise give. Ifyou
striku at the capital which carries them
on: your b:ows will rebound upon y1r
solves with redoubled force. The cap
italist will save enough trout the wreck
to support himself, but the laboring
niHO will liud himself without em
ployment and without brund. This is
not an age of individualism. Only by
united etlort, aided by the accumula
tions of past gnu-rations which are the
capital of '.his can society be kept from
retrograding. The cipitalitft is often
m llish and oppressive, but the forces
wielded by his class are essential to the
well-being of the race, uud especially
to the well-being of tbose who work for
wage.
Probably. a time will come when
great nceumulations of capital will
have played their part in the world's
hhitory aud accomplished all the vo;k
they aro capable of doing for the bene
fit of mankind. Then natural laws
will develop a leveling process, and
there will be a more equal distribution
of wealth. No political agitation or
violent action on the part ot the work
ing classes will bring this about, how
ever. Cod's laws are a better reliance
than men's passioua aud discontents.
Is there, then, nolbing we can do,
you will ask, to lessen our hardships,
lift from our shoulders the heavy
burden of poverty and secure for our
selves a larger share of comfort and the
good things of life? Yes, a great aeal,
but it is rather in a social and indus
trial than iu a political way. You
should keep a close watch of the action
of Congress and the legislature, and
promptly protest agaiust anything in
the way of legislation likely to injure
the working classes. You have the
votes, and be assureol your proetst
will be res-cel. Politicaos will
always be eager to serve you. But
your chief efforts to better your condi
tion must, it seems to us, be outside of
politics if they are to be effective. Here
we come to a wide Held which cannot
be explored iu a siugle article. We
may suy,, however, that there is no
surer way of getting on iu tbo world
than to try Jo do belter and better
whatever work you hav-J to do. A
contentions, ' industrious work
man, proud of his calliug
and siming at the highest skill,
nearly fails of success. One thing,
more. Insist on the dignity of honebt
labor and resist with all your might
the evil tendency ot the age to concede
honors and superiority to mere wealth
without regard to breins or morals.
There must be no castes in a republic,
and no aristocracy of money must be
allowed to grow up it we would pre
serve the freedom aud purity of our institutions.-
If the idle rich nun, in the
foolish pride of luxury and self-indulgence,
scorns the honest poor man be
cause be works for his living with
hands Or brain, let the poor man show
a lofty ct.n tempt in return, conscious of
the fact that as one;of the world's
workers ho is filling by far the nobler
place of the two. Cleveland Herald.
The currency in circulation in 1878
will purchase $158,155,582 more in ev
ery commodity than the currency in
circulation in 1865 would purchase.
That is the way we are suffering by
contraction. '
The hard times wave struck us In
1873, the- resumption act was not pass
ed until '1875, and yet the brilliant
Democratic orators are going: about
telling the people that the resumption
law was and is the cause of the hard
times. They are either very dishonest
or supremely silly. O. S. Journal.
Tiiey are the friends of the poor
man, are these Democrats. If a man
has $5,000 in National Bank notes he
must pay taxes on it, but if he has it in
greenbacks it is not taxable; yet these
peculiar friends of the poor man want
all our paper money to be greenbacks,
and the taxes that rich men now pay
on their money will then be levied on
the horses, cows and homos tead of the
poor man. '

A Powerful Speech on the
A Powerful Speech on the Money Question.
The Importance of an Honest
Currency for the Workingmen.
Extracts from a Speech of
GOV. WOODFORD,
AT CLEVELAND.
All through this country, from the Atlantic
to Hie slopes of the Rocky Mountains, men
are to day discussing the questions of wages,
of labor, and of money. These
questions are here, and' these questions must
be answered. Parties did not make these
questions: we cannot get rid of them. They
face the poor man, who works for wages that
be may get his daily bread: they face the
fanner, who has land to till and crops to sell;
ttiey face every man who has saved anything,
and to-dav holds anything that be has saved.
They , concern the poor and rich alike; and
the poor and the rich u tne poor are inaus
trious and the rich are honest have the same
interest in their proper settlement; for labor
aud capital are not, as demagogues would
teach us, necessarily natural enemies. Uotn
are and must be partners in business. No
man, unless be finds a man with capital, can
find employment; and without capital to pay
labor it cannot be bad. - Labor and capital
are aud must be partners in business, aud
therefore labor and capital ought to be
friends. And to-day every honest capitalist
and willing laborer are friends; and the dis
honest capitalist and the idle poor man belong
together, so that I come here to-night to say
do word that may be construed to array the
capitalist against the laborer or the laborer
against the capitalist. Hut believing mat the
best and truest interests of both are one and
the same, I would plead with all for an honest
money for all, good alike for both. Great
applause J the people ot this Kepublic stand
to-day where the roads part. These roads are
two and only two. One or the other we must
take, and one or the other we shall take- We
are destined either to go forward to perma
nent specie resumption or else we must go
forward to an irredeemable paper currency.
Specie resumption may be permanent I don't
say it mill be; because no legislation of to-day,
however wise and honest, can guard against
to-morrow '8 dishonesty or folly. But it is
impossible for an irredeemable paper curren
cy to be permanent in this land, or in any
i irr i . i . .1 . ,- - . i
lana. r uy r Devalue it uucs uoi ue ui tue
wit of man to make something out of noth
ing and keep it so forever. An irredeemable
paper currency cannot be permanent because
some men will distrust its power to purcnase.
We may print it and clothe it with power to
pay a debt, but you cannot print it and force
me to work for It in the future; no power in
the land can force me to do that Therefore
1 sav von can't make something Out of noth
ing, and keep it so forever. We must go for
ward toward specie resumption, or we must
go forward to an irredeemable paper curren
cy. ' Let me say here that I believe an irre
deemable paper currency must first cause in
flation,, that iuflation must produce unwise
speculation, that such speculation mu&t result
in discredit and bankruptcy, and that bank
ruptcy must result in repudiation. Now,
these are plain words;- so plain that I must
give you good reasons for the faith that is iu
me. And 1 propose to talk to yon on these
two propositions : First, that specie resump
tion means economy, industry, and honesty,
and that these meau universal prosperity; and
the converse of this is, an irredeemable paper
currency will compel inflation and lead to a
method of gambling in the business affairs of
life which will finally and certainly result in
National bankruptcy. These propositions
are the converse one of the other. You can
not argue the one without considering the
other, ixit us consider theui together, aud
first, right here, let me say that for one I do
not believe there is any power in the Consti
tution of the United States authorizing the
issue or the reissue of a dollar of greenbacks
in lime of peace. Money means coin; it re
fers to gold and silver; to metal not to paper
reference is made in usiiig the term. Every
one has a right to demand coiu for the green
back; the workingman has a right to demand
coin at any bank, and if the bank cannot pay
iu coin it should shut its doors. Every holder
of a greenback has a right to go to Washing
ton and present it at Uie window of the Treas
ury and demand coin. You have a right n.)t
only to ask the Government to be faithful,but
to absolutely perform its provisions- I find
two important provisions in the Cohstitution
touching money :
First Congress has the authority to coin
money and regulate the value thereof.
Second Congress has the power to emit or
issue bills of credit.
Let me take the first proposition. I will re
peat it. Congress has the authority to coin
money and to regulate the value thereof. In
the process of pregaring or creating you coin
metal but do not coin paper. By no practical
ble method can greenbacks be coined.
And with reference to the second proposi
tion that Congress may emit or issue bills of
credit, the very word credit implies the idea
of loaning or borrowing. There is no idea of
absolute or fiat money in that When the
Government emits bills of credit it meaus
that the Government promises to pay. You
borrow money and there is a promise in con
nection with i'.
Suppose a National addresses me: "Mr.
Woodford, I have my private greenback all
ready for the payment of my debt." There
are other notes given, and in the end the mat
ter stands precisely the same as at the begin
ning. Nothing settles a debt but payment
A promise is not paid,- it cannot be paid, un
til it is kept
Let roe suppose another similar case : I am
engaged to be married to a girl on a certain
day. I go to ber with the expectation that
the contract will be fulfilled. She tells me
that she belongs to the National party, and a
promise to pay is just as good as the fulfill
ment of the contract. She says : "1 promise
to marry you to-morrow." Laughter.
"But" the National may say to me, "Mr.
Woodford, you assert that greenbacks are not
constitutional money. Now, did you not is
sue greenbacks, did not your party issue
greenbacks during the war? Have net green
backs been upheld by the Republicans In
time past?" I reply, "Yes." "How?"
"Why?" The answer is plain. We were a
nation and we had a nation's right to live.
There was a rebellion, and it was necessary to
use every means in our power to -put the
usurpers of our country's peace down. We
asked for volunteers- At first they pour
ed forth, but by and by we were obliged to
pay bounties. We asked loans to pay the
bounties and was compelled to pay interest
for them, finally, when men would not en
list even through the giving of bounties, we
obliged them to go without; the draft was
ordered, and men were forced to leave their
homes and go into the army. They were
compelled to go whether they would do so or
not, for it was the right of the Nation to live,
whatever the result In that hour of the
country's peril the very Democrats who are
to-day clamoring for the greenback, for more
greenbacks, said it was not constitutional to
issue a dollar of them. The greenbacks were
not, in their eyes, good enough to save the
Nation, but they were good enough to lie em -ployed
in stirring up a labor and monetary
agitation in the country, disarranging work
and wages, in time of peace. We are con
fronted right here by this fact : The Gov
ernment of the United States, by Congress
assembled and a duly elected and inaugu
rated President, has solemnly pledged its
faith that the greenbacks and bonds of the
country be paid in coin. This has become a
law, b nd the greenback which you have in
your possession, that which you received for
yesterday's work, must be redeemed. It came
to you with a pledge written across it The
good faith and honor of the country were
there embodied- The Nation has given its
word precisely like as individual. Am I
a-king loo much of the patriotic men of Ohio
who eo nobly served iu the war to do their
part toward keeping the pledge that the Na
tion has made, standing as truth tellers and
not truth-breakers?
I will go a step further, stating plainly that
Coin is the money of the Constitution. 1 here
is no excuse whatever for the Government to
break its pledge. It is wiser at this time by
far to go forward than to go backward- We
are almost standing on nrm, substantial
ground, and why turn back and fall into the
quicksand ? Why return to the suffering and
sorrow that have been nearly letl behind us?
There lie in the Treasurer's vaults at Wash
ington more gold and silver than will suffice
to pay all the indebtedness that will be drawn
on in the event of resumption. We can pay
all that will be asked. We are, as a Nation,
in the condition of the thrifty man earning
more than be spends, and our credit rises
while interest falls. There is no excuse to
day for the country to be in any seuse dis
honest There is no danger in a continuance of the
policy of resumption, and there is peril in a
repeal of the resumption act or any move to
ward it Everything in connection with this
country to-day indicates piosperity. The
balance of trade to-day is in favor of the Uni
ted Slates. This Government is at this time
selling to the rest of the woild more than it
buys from the rest ot the world. We have
reached precisely the point that we could
huve desired, in that all nations pay tribute
to us. Shall this tribute be paid in the coin
of the civilized world, or shall the United
States manufacture wampum for the sake of
giving it to the other nations to pay us in ?
We grow to-day, in the vsst fields of our
country, -grain and other products that the
entire world wants. We are furnishing Au
stralia with products; locomotives, steam
plows, rakes, etc., are being sent to Russia.
The world buys Biany millions of our manu.
factures. 1'he nations abroad purchase mil
lions more than the goods amount to that we
want of them, snail we manufacture green
backs for these foreign nations to pay us in ?
Our i ankee enterprise has put us in a posi
tion where we can command trade; we can
do business with the world at pront to our
selves- Shall we be foolish enough to manu
facture something cheap to pay ourselves with
through the medium of the nations abroad ?
Suppose the Government put its hand on the
printing press and began turning the crank
lor the issue ot a nood oi greenbaces, now are
you and I -to get them? Ycu say it is pro
posed to retire the currency of the National
banks. What ! are you going to give good
greenbacks to the wicked National banks ?
Will you give greenbacks th are worth 8
much to the banks that you are lighting ?
You say that you will pay off the bloated
bondhoider in greenbacks. What ! Give that
naughty class good greec backs, did I hear you
say ? Who are the bloated bondholders ? Not
more than one-tenth of the public debt is
held abroad, and the remaining nine-tenths is
in the hands of our own people- The savings
banks have a good many of the bonds- It is
in those places that the people have deposited
their money. The fire insurance companies
have a great many bonds, and these compa
nies have protected the various roofs in
Cleveland. They are interwoven with the
business of the country. You might as well
attempt to pull down this building and expect
to escape scott free as to disturb these con
ceroa. Sampson was a national in that
he pulled out the pillars that held up
a building, and it killed him in its fall.
If I earn a dollar and spend 95 cents 1 belong
to the capital class to the extent ot o cents.
If I earn a dollar and spen ls $1.00 1 land in
the poorhouse or jail. Y"ii cannot rob the
bondholder without robbing yourselves. The
bonds are held all over this land by persons
who are connected with the ivr classes, and
who, if disturbed, will affect those classes-
1 here should be given to the laborer all that
the bondholder has. If the bolilliolder is
paid in gold or silver the laboring man should
be paid in the same thing. We are asking
nothing for wealth, for that can take care of
itself, but we ask that wealth shall not be al
lowed ia years to come to give to labor a
dollar that is a deceit and a lie.
At about this point Mr. Woodford was in -
termptcd by a man in the audience, who said
that a purpose could be accomplished if the
Government should stop taxing the people and
pay its employes. Such a course would bring
out the greenbacks.
The speaker responded: My friend asks me
a fair question- lie asks it so kindly that were
I to withhold answering I should fall in com
mon courtesy, lie auks me, in substance, can
not the Government stop taxing the people
for a few years and pay the ;new greenbacks
out to Government employes. Do 1 state your
question fairly, sir?
1 he gentleman iu the audience replied,
"You do."
This, then, is my answer: The Federal
Government raises its taxes ia three ways,
First, by levying duties on imports of foreign
goods and foreign manufactures. If the Gov
ernment takes off these duties than all foreign
productions will come into our land without
paying any tariff charges- This is absolute
free trade. These tariff charges protect Amer
ican industry and American manufacures. To
day some factories are idle. Strike down the
tariff and all our factories would be idle. 1
am not willing when men are seeking employ
ment, hen skilled artisans are asking for
work and bread, to strike down the tanlf in
the interest of foreign manufactures even for
the benefit of Greenbackers. American work
ingmen want employment. The tariff of to
day secure? that employment to many. I
trust my friend sees as clearly as I see that
the tax which -we raise by tariff helps our own
working people. Loud applause. We also
raise money by taxing whisky aud tobacco-
Does my menu, who looks like a temperate
man, desire to encourage tho consumption of
tobacco and whiskey by relieveing them from
tax? Laughter and applause. The next
great source ot taxes are those horrible vam
pires the National banks. They would like to
be relieved from taxes also. Does my green
back friend wish to aid these money corpora
tion by taking off their taxes? Applause-
- Question if we sell our flour, which is a
commodity, and get in payment gold, which
is another commodity, are we not in precisely
the same fix as if we had not made the ex
change?
Answer The gentlemen asks me a question
which once troubled my own thought. But a
wiser man than 1 gave me an answer which
satisfied my judgement. I thing when I ex
plain it to my mend 1 snail satisry ms. i he
flour we sell gets eaten up and is gone. The
gold we receive re mams here, if we only use
it as money. When we need anything we can
buy it with that gold. Holy writ explained
the matter long ago: "The flour that a man
eats enters into his belly and passes out with
the draught, which purgeth all things. " Ter
rific applause.
Now, let me pass on. You can get these
greenbacks in circulation in every way,except
in the oid-iasmoned way oi loyalty and hon
esty. I know of no manner in which success
can be attained either as a man or a nation,
but by honesty. Applause- This dream of
fiat money is as old as the hills. Marco Polo
conceived it, and went even further in relation
to it in his books than is talked of nowadays.
People weie obliged to take the money, and
the Kahn of Tarlary cut the throats of men
who rebelled against it When Louis, the
spendthrift of Prance, made fiat money it was
at first thought it might prove .a good thing.
I'ricea went up into the clouds, and it seemed
at first as if it was an era of good times that
had been inaugurated. But then the inflation
scheme broke, and terrible trouble ensued, the
grandson of 1xhis dying on the beadsman 8
block. That scheme of flat money, put into
execution, more than anything else led to the
utter demoralization and wholly wretched
condition of France pending and during the
reign of terror. Finally, down went the
dreams of wealth that so many had been en
amored with and up went the empire behind
them. It is only bout a century or so from
to- day that the Colony of Massachusetts made
paper money aad decreed the price by which
men should regulate tho disposal of their pro
ducts. Tho Continental Congress gave,. the
I paper money quality to pay all debts. So
' t l l 1 , r . 1 .
Koiu auu silver were uriven iioui me country;
coin was forced away, and then bankruptcy,
crime, sorrow, and dread prevailed from one
end of the country to the other. Shall this
baneful course be pursued further? In the
midst of all our numerous blessings, with the
price of honesty in our hands, shall we try to
make money out of soap-bubbles? God help
ing us, we will be honest, in times of peace
building on the sure foundation of money
that will be money the world over. And as
we deserve honesty of treatment so shall we
receive it from other nations, as well as ah
over our land-
Governments can not make money
They can coin it and regulate its
weight and fineness. Labor makes
money. The coin, whether of gold or
silver, represents a certain amount of
labor expended in producing it. It is
used as a medium of exchange for an
equivalent amount of labor expended
in producing either natural or mechan
ical commodities. Gold and silver are
selected for this purpose because they
possess the qualities of de visibility and
durability, and are not produced in
such abundance as copper, lead and
iron or other metals. It is the labor
the coin has cost that gives it intrinsic
value. It represents just so much hard
work, and is used as the measure ol
bard work in other fields of industry.
Paper money lacks this quality. It
costs no more to print a thousand dol
lar bill than it costs to print a one dol
lar bill. Hence it Can never stand for
a certain t-mount of labor as the coin
dollar. Hence it is, also, that it will
never be accepted as the equivalent of
labor unless there stand behind it not
only the pledge but the ability tore
deem it in something that does not
represent the equivalent of labor. It
is not in the power of the most abso
lute Government in existence to give
to paper money a quality that in the
very nature of things it can not pos
sess.
When, therefore, men talk of a Gov
ernment making money, in the sense
of creating it, they talk about non
sense. Aside from coining ana regula
ting the weight and fineness of the va-
rious denominations of coin, it can emit
bills of credit, or bills bearing Interest,
as bonds, or bills bearing no interest as
greenbacks. But what is a bill of cred
it hut the issuing of a note, to be paid
in mouey to be paid in the equivalent
of the labor, or the product of labor,
for which it Is accepted? To get its
non Interest bill into circulation, the
Government may declare it lawful ten
Uler lor public and private indebtedness,
and may thus force it upon the people,
Then it represents nothing more nor
less than a forced loan by the Govern
ment, which it is in honor bound to
redeem when it is able to do so. It is
the evidence of the indebtedness of the
Goverumert to the individual holding
the note.
Now if the credit of the Government
is good, the individual may not care to
demand payment. Tho notes of the
house of the Rothschild, lor example,
circulate as money among bankers and
capitalists, and may remain outstand
ing for a great length of time. It is the
general confidence iu the ability of the
bouse to redeem its notes that floats its
psper. But let there be any weaken
ing of the commercial credit of the
house, aud the paper would find its
way to the doors for redemption with
out delay.
And so it is with -the Government.
The credit of the Government of the
U. S. is good, because it has kept faith
with its creditors. It has demonstrated
its capacity to mduage and keep con
trol of its great debt, reducing its bulk
one-third in thirteen years. Its com
mercial standing with the world.there-
fore, is unexceptionable, and will re
main unshaken so long as it redeems
its pledges. It has pledged itself to
ay gold uud silver ou demand lor its
notes, after the 1st ot Jauuary next.
If it makes good the pledge, probably
nobody will cure to present the notes
lor reUetupliou. They will remain out
just us long as the Government ia will
ing to let them remuin out, because
the belie! of the people will be univer
sal that it is able to redeem them on
demand. If they were absolute money,
there would be no need of any prepara
tion to redeem. Governments do not
redeem their gold and silver coinsr
They may change their weight and
fineness, and alter their denomination,
but they don't redeem tnem, for they
do not create the values they represent.
liHbor did tnat before the coin was ev
er struck.
But let the Government that emits
bills of credit multiply them so much
beyond its ability to redeem them in
coin as to impair or destroy public con
fidence.then -10 legal tender legislation
can prevent the immediate deprecia
tion of the paper; nor, as Mr. Fen die
ton has said, can the wit of man ever
devise any means of keeping it from
depreciation. Down it will go, losing
its purchasing power, ana needing
more and more of it as it loses credit,
to purchase anything, and consequent
ly requiring fresh issues to meet the
wants ot trade, tience, every new
batch put out only accelerates the
downward tendency; and unless the
process is arrested, and steps taken to
redeem it in absolute mouey ot gold
and silver, it will ultimately share the
fate of continental shinplasters. Con
federate gray backs aud other paper is
sues that have preceded them to the
paper mills; and the loss will. fall upon
the holders, upon the people them
selves, each cent of decline in the par
chasing power of the paper being taken
out of their labor. Hence it is as Dan
iel Webster said, that a depreciated
currency is of all human contrivances,
the most efficient lor "cneating me la
boring classes of mankind."
The world s experience, not less
than the warnings of statesmen of all
countries, should instruct us to be
careful to limit the paper cbrrency of
the Government to tho sum it can, at
the option of the holder, redeem in
coin. There is no event in the future
more certain than that if we retrace
our steps, if we indefinitely put oil the
day of resumption and double or triple
the amount of the curroncy of the
Government, it will depreciate, its
purchasing power decreasing while it
t is in the hands of tne noider, and
every cent of that decrease being taken
out of the labor which it represented
to him when , worth more. And it is

Good Money, Not Cheap Money.
Laboring men who join the cry for
cheap money are really clamoring for
a reduction of their own wages. The
value of money is in its purchasing
power. When it is dear it will pur
chase a great deal; when it is cheap it
will pun.-huse but little.. The evident
interest of the man who works for
wages is that the dollar he earns shall
buy as much sugar Hour, meat and coal
as possible and go as far as possible
toward paying his house rent. There
are but two reasons urged for inflating
the currency so as to make money
cheap. One is to raise prices and the
other is to make the payment of old
debts easier. The wotkingman does
uot wait t prices raised. Wny should
ne help to put flour up to $15 a barrel
and sugar to 25 cents a pound? As to
paying debts in cheap money, that
privilege would be of no advantage to
mm. w orkingmen are not as a rule
in debt, and when they are it is general
ly lor small sums which, taken togeth
er, make but a iritiing amount In com
parison, with their yearly earnings.
Wny should they help tbe debtor and
peculator classes at tne expense ol
ineir own class? Ah, but it will be
said that wages will rise it the currency
is diluted with irreedeemable green
backs aud its purchasing power dimit
isbed. How ao we know this? Why,
during tue war aud after the war anu
iter tne war wages were high. True,
out what was the cause? The war
took nearly two millions ol strong arm
ed men out of tbo ranks of producers
and made tnem consumers and destroy-
ere tor four years. As a consequence
labor was in active demand. It look a
long time to restore the balance and
hit up tne big bole the war made, but
chis was accouiplfched more than live
years ago aud the productive forces of
the labor ot Uie country are now only
sufficient for all the home demand but
tney are excessive, so thut we are com
petitions iu the markets ot tne world
lor the sale products.
No issue ol pieces of paper pretending
to be money will produce tne effect on
labor of a great war. It would be
sensible to imagine that a tornado can
be raised by blowing through a penny
whistle. JfcjVety workingman know a
timt the price of his day's labor must
be in proportion to the selling pries of.
the articles he helps make. No arti
ficial prices can be again sustained, be
cause we are now competitors witn tho
whole civilized world and must sell
our products at ttie prices fixed by that
competition, A little reflection on tbia
point, win make it plain to tne most
ordinary understanding.
Cheap money would oe a temporary
advantage to large debtors wbo have
nothing owing to tnem to balance their
habilities, aud it would beapermuneut
source ot prutil to all classes of specula-'
tors, but an men who work lor hire
and all men engaged in steady, legiti
mate Dosiness would sutler severely.
Even if some advance in wages wero
secured the gain would be more than '
offset by the advance in the necossariesi
of life. ........ r.
Let workingmen study this subject
carefully for themselves and take noth
ing ou trust from tbe demagogues who
are try'tig to ride into ohiue on their
shoulders. A little thought and in
vestigation will convince them that it
is not cheap money but good-money
they want money mat is good the
world over to buy every article they
need at the lowest market pricey
money that will not depreciate money
that will go a long way instead of a '
little way toward . providing their
families with shelter, food, aud cloth- ,

The Gas-Wells of East Liverpool,
Ohio.
Cleveland Leader.
East Liverpool is beautifully situat
ed, about fifty miles above Wheeling,
on the banks of the Ohio, in the south
western part of Columbians county.
one hundred miles from Cleveland and
forty miles from Pittsburgh. , , -
Its natural gas-wells form one of the'
seven wouders of the world. They are
situated in and around the city, and
give it a continual supply of the finest
light, tbe gas Is almost as free as the
r. It costs practically nolbing. and
forms tbe illuminator and heater of the
town. Tbe city is lighted by it, and
the street lamps biaxe away at noon
day as well as midnight. It costs
otbing to let them burn, aad it takes
trouble to put them out.
Almost the entire fuel used In the
town is this gas. It ia conducted into
the grates and stoves In pipes, and by
it all the neating ana cooking is done.
It does the business; makes no dirt: ia
easy to kindle, and costs very little.
Why, for instance, tue Dobbins House.
where I am now writinsr, is a three-
story brick, containing in the neigh
borhood of nlty ro ms and a basement.
It is light and fuel for tbe whole house
is composed of gas, and costs onty $14
per month the year round; and its light
is not the flickering mockery of poorly
manufactured gas, but a flame which
approximates in its brilliancy that of
tbe electric light.
But the question is, how long will
this last? Will these wells continue to
send forth their streams of light giving
power throughout thecenturies, or will
they die away in the course of a short
time? This, of course, no one can tell.
The prospects are, however, very good
for the future. The first well discover
ed now burns as brightly as when it
was first opened, and tor the last twen
ty years has never flagged in its brilli
ancy, and none of thote now ia opera
tion nave ever snovi n any signs oi giv
ing out. For years Liverpool used
manufactured gas, never dreaming of
the rich supply that was wasting away
daily under its very feet. Tbe poor
uality of this caused Col. Ii. 14. HIU
in iso'J to experiment with and open
the first gas well in this vicinity. A
ell was dug, being some 4 0 feet deep.
and a pipe laid. That well has been
furnishing fuel and light to several
houses, producing the steam for a
large engine, and burning pottery
kilns every dsy for over twenty years.
The great beauty of the ras-pipe is
the entire absence of smoke and dirt.
nd when in an open grate playlusr
through a burning iron log, made ia
the imitation ot wood, or over lumps
of coke or red hot fire brick, it has all
the cheerfulness of an open coal fire
or an old iasnionea country nre-piaoe.
