END OF VOLUME I.

With this No. of The Democratic Sentinel volume one expires. Its success has exceeded our most sanguine expectations, and we enter volume two gratified with the prospect. Today The Democratic Sentinel is largett. in size and in its circulation, ol ths journals of Jasper county. Respectfully thanking those who are now our patrons and readers, we solicit a continued and and increased support for volume 2.

Read the article on first page entitled “King Shylock’s Tribute." It contains extracts from speech of Senator Beck, in the United States Senate. Read and reflect.

Foreign and Wall Street Shylocks now want to compromise with tiepeople, the victims of broken con. tracts through the cupidity and duplicity of Radicalism in the Senate House. Let ’em want.

Chicago failures for 1877 foot up $30,757,938, of which $8,043,012 comes under the head of “Real Estate,” and $7,662,886under the head of “Batiks and Bankers.” Builders and contractors were stuck to the amount of $1,015,936; ironand hardwaremen, $2,123,333; commission merchants, $454,990, and grocery dealers. $472,646. It was altogether a hard year for Chicago trade- What blessings approud - ing resumption brings in its train.

Suppose the greenbacks should advance to a premium over gold, hs is very probable, what would the bondholders do about it? Would they demand that the bonds should be paid in greenbacks? Or would they insist that the weight of the gold dollar should be increased until it became of equal value with a greet back dollar that It be made an “honest dollar?”

“While we are in favor of silver, w«are not in favor of a repeal of the resumption law. Just let that stand, and tho business of the country wilt bring about resumption soon enough.” - -Winamac Republican. All very well, Mr. Keiser, but if l> t stand, the law will attempt to enforce resumption long before the business of tho country will bring it about. We think the law bad better be repealed, and the question of resumption turned over to the business of the country to determine.

Tho silver meeting held at Rensselaer a week ago last Saturday, resolved in favor of the restoration of tho silver dollar, the repeal of the resumption act, and substitution ot the public legal tender notes for those of banks The Union seems to thins the meeting managed in the interest of the democracy. The resolutions seem all right enough; just what me call republican.”— Porter County Vidette, Republican. The resolutions are certainly right enough, but the radical legislation will not prove them republican. But aside from their being either democratic or reepublicau the dangers ahead Indicate that the masses of the people can well afford to cheerfully and heartily endorse them.

Likes and Dislikes.

(Porter County Vidette, Rep.) “We read the Indiana Sentinel with admiration for its advocacy of ’he honest dollar promised for the pubi c debt, and of the true economy of using public debt for currency and saving so much interest, instead of p y ing interest on bonds and 1 -tting bui k debts serve for currency, but when we see it seems to use such policy for only partisan advancement., we are mortified by its illiberality and lack of candor. Those iepublicans w o advocate the same views seem t > <h> it from a patriotic motive.” To which the Sentinel very pn niptly and correctly responds; “Our cotemporary is not well informed. The Sentinel has been told by the Journal that the two graat measures of relief now pending in the Senate, and which have passed the house byoverwheln - ing mt jorities, are purely democratic measures, to which we say amen.” And we will add that “Those r • publicans who advocate the same views” only "seem to do it from a patriotic motive.” Every ladical paper advocating these views, that has come to our notice, excepting the Vidette, have done so with the declaratory statement that the opposite policy will “snow them under.” They certainly “seem to do it horn a patriotic motive.”

GOVERNOR HENDRICKS.

His Views Upon Resumption and Remonetization A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commeni.il recently interviewed Mr. Hendricks. The statesman said: You know very well what I think about ihr resumption law. I made my objections to it very fully in the Ohio c .mpaign of 1875. I was ex-cr.-dingiy anxious for Gov. Alien’s re-election because I thought his admiuistiutiou merited popular approval; but more especially because I thought it would contribute to bring about a r peal of the resumption law. After his defeat I had no hope of its repeal. I suppose the Republican Sen ■ ate regarded his defeat as an indorsoment of that policy. The passage of the resumption law was not suggested by any supposed interest of the country. It was the result of party n -cessity as declared by Gov Morton ami Mr. Sherman in the Ohio cai - paign of 1875. In my belief the r> • sumption law has been the source of the greatest calamity to the interests and prosperity of tho country. It has had the effect of causing men to hoard greenbacks, and the banks to withhold circularion f r fear of being crushed out by forced resumptim in gobi. Correspondent What do you think of the repeal of the resumption law? Gov. Hendrick.-—I do not feel that the repeal ot the resumption law is a question. Its fate was sealed by the inauguration of Mr. Hayes, who is pledged tc sustain it. Every man who voted for Mr. Hayes voted for the hard enforcement of the resumption iaw. Its repeal will be vetoed by Mr. Hayes, who, in so doing, will carry out the views he clearly and positively expressed before he was inaugurated. No man who voted for him could fail to understand those views, and it would be unreasonable to expect him to act otherwise; If any such idea was entertained, the appointment of JohnShermau as Secretary of the Treasury was enough to show its fallacy. John Sherman, whose views and purposes are not modified by any consideration for the wants, hopes, welfare or sufferings of the people was made master of the positic n. The resumption law has brought evil, find no good to the country, It has not even contributed to specie payment. Cor. What has? Gov. H.—The approach of paper ami gold toward each other in value has been the result of a fortunate foreign trade. Balances of trade being in our favor, the tendency of gold has been towards our markets. This is ill strati d by the two vessels now uj • on the ocean, each bringing us a mil-, lion of dollars in gold. tor.—Are you in favor of the remonetization of silver! Gov. H.—Certainly. From reliable evidence on the subject the legislation demonetizing silver was most objectionable in its character. The people were not consulted at all. They had i o intimation that such a thing was being contemplated It seems that most of the members of Cougres? had no knowledge of what was being done. Because of this, if for no other reason, silver money should be placed just where it was. Experience will then demonstrate to what extent the depreciation of ail rer below gold has been owing to the fact that it was stripped of its quality of money—a quality of every importance to its value. If experience shall establish the fact that there is a permanent and increasing difference between gold and silver, beeauso of the increased production of the latter, then Congress will be charged with the important duty of regulating the coinage and value of each, so as to avoid the evils of double standard. Silver has become an important product of this country, and, Inasmuch as the world recognizes it as a money medium of exchange, I can not see why we should not utilize our large product of that metal to the greatest extent tnat may be found practicable. Its value, as money, to tins country is too great to be thrown away. Cox.—Do you think the restoration of silver would be a breach of the public faith? Gov. H.—By no means. The law of 1869, the first act signed by Gen. Grant, pledged the faith and honor of the nation to the payment of the public debt in coin. The silver dollar was then a part of the coin of the country, as honored in law and commerce as gold. Neither public faith nor private obligation can be impaired by a compliance with the contract in its letter and in its spirit. To me it is plain that the public faith is made more secure by such policies as enable the people more easily to meet the country’s obligations. Surely, to restore silver money will facilitate the discharge of every public obligation, and promote a return to specie payment. A prosperous condition of the country is the bsst guaranty of the observance of publie faith. I thipk Congressional action upon these questions should be taken as promptly as possible. The continued ngftatiou causes distrust and nneasinvss tliro’oip the entire business o? the conn- ' try.

THE NEW Fall?Wmier STOCK OF DR! ■ GOODS Just Opened by CONSISTS OF Staple Articles that are in demand and that civilized people must use, whether the times be flush or dull, business is at ebb or flow, or money is plentiiul or scarce. No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of Goods FOR THE Fall and Winter trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was drained to the choosing of articles whose DURABILITY and PRICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States. But this did not prevent the purchase of a stock that will compare favorably in point of beauty with anything to be found in this market, while tohfori (lily ui Low Mck of the fabrics must necessarily recommend them in an especial manner to people of judgment, prudence and economizing desires. No special enumeration of the articles comprising this new stock is deemed necessary from the fact that I deal iu all articles usually found in collections of General Merchandise, in inland towns, but it may be well enough to say that Best Dress Goods, Best Readv-Made Clothing Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, Standard Groceries, Etc., are kept in addition to the assortment es dress fabrics and other dry goods.
