the great pill man,

has been nominated for Congress by the Republicans of the Lowell, Mass., District.

'How floes Archie Johnston know so much about the contents of the Joi'itXAi,? It may be idle curiosity, but we xvould like to know.

The

Democrats will have it their own

way in the next Legislature, and of course will do a great many smart and economical things, as they have so long been promising us.

Republicans of Clinton county

roted for an Assessor and the Democrats voted for a Land Appraiser. The consequence is one of the newly elected .officers of the county is a Republican.

Hon*. Wm. Baxter's

majority for

State Senator in Wayne county was only six. Notice of contest has been tiled by his competitor, and the Democrats are already calculating on having

a

Democrat in the Senate front that staunch old Republican county.

The Democratic vote for the State ticket in Warren county did not exceed

AW.

The figures in the official returns would indicate that the Independents drew nearly their entire strength, about 400, from the Democratic ranks. The vote for Congressman was: Cason 1,238, McClurg 404, Howies 378. The majority of Fry Bryant, Republican candidate for Clerk, was 1,007.

lloi.man is a hard man to beat. He has never been caught napping but once, we believe. He overcame a Republican majority of 1,200 in bis District at the last election, and not content with that run his own majority up to 2,4U^. We believe Jere Wilson would have been a stronger candidate than Clavpool, but he would scarcely have been equal to such running as this.

Fifteen years ago we had what was called a currency convertible into specie. Lngland had such a currency also, and still has. The course of her trade is the same now as it was fifteen years ago, that is it has not been affected by her currency as that has not been changed. Now let us suppose, as an illustration, that before we made jufy change in our currency a cargo of wheat could be sold in Liverpool for $1.50 a bushel, which would cover first cost to the farmer, freight and a reasonable profit on the venture. Since the inflation of our currency a caruu would have to be sold for $2.00 a bushel to cover first cost to the fanner, freight and a reasonable profit on the venture, payment in

Now let us follow these two ventures to their probable conclusion. If the cargo in each case was 10,000 bushels the amount of gold each cargo was sold for would be $15,009. If the money was brought home for both cargoes we got just as much of the currency of the world for the last cargo as for the first, and if the first was a profitable venture (ijjso was the second.

for there seems to be such an institution in existence as the Democratic party. The contract to destroy it will be let to the

I admit that "the currency merce throughout the world is gold and j„ prosperous times, but silver," but 1 do not admit that "inter-i monetary disturbances, national commerce is carried on in no other medium." It is the standard by which international commerce is adjusted, but it is not the thing by which international commerce is carried on. It

Let m'e admit for the moment, and tor the sake of the argument, that the best interests of the country require such a currency. It is a wrong to labor on the part of the Government to delegate this

this were so the foreign merchant who jrreilt duty to private corporations. It

is as much a function and duty on the part of Government to provide a circulating medium for the people as to maintain law and order, and I am unalterably opposed to the policy that shifts the discharge of this govermental duty to private corporations.

The importing merchant will sty that it ought to be conve'tible into specie, the wholesale merchant of the city will say it ought to be so, because they say th'nt the duties must be paid in gold, and when the goods are sold to the West and Sontii, thev must be sold for paper issued by the Government, and the Government ought for that reason to redeem them in gold, so that those who have to pay the duties can readily get it or else retire them and let the banks issue paper that they will redeem in coin. The Government must have gold for the duties on imports because it pledged itself to pay the interest on the public debt in gold. Now, if the holders of the public debt would take the interest in paper money instead of gold, we might take the duties in paper if we can get rid o!

and a great many other cases that I might enumerate. But to say that a nation doing its internal business with a paper currency will be in the hands of a nation doing Us internal business with a specie currency, when they exchange comuiodities, is no more reasonable than to say, "The people who count their money in dimes, dollars and eagles will forever get 'j the worst of the bargain iu all of their commercial transactions with the citizens of any oauntry who count their monev in pence, shillings, and pounds."

All that it does do is to add one more factor or clement in the merchant's computation. When the first cargo was shipped lie received his pay in pounds, shillings and pence he would reduce this to Mr money of dollars and cents to this he would add in the secjnd venture live premium on gold at home to know what he must sell his wheat for. The chaaigeableness of the premium is the only element of danger to the merchant, and I am not sure but the effect is good on the whole country, as it is a check to reckless ventures.
