THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 1876

"WEDNESDAY. SEPT 13. Indianapolis -Prrui and Futur. The growth ol Indianapolis In population and wealth, is eil caculated to arrest the alteLtioa of thoughtful men. We do not caro to record it aa marvelous a rf salt that has been accomplished In deflates of natural lawa a triumph over formidable obstacle aby virtue of a lavish expenditure oi money and strategical maneuvers so often resorted to to build up muabroon cities on the contrary, Indianapolls baa grown in population, wealth and commercial Importance because of her manifold natural advantages. These have exercised a potential Influence in the past, Dd must, in the catnrsof things, continue In a steadily increasing ratio to attract capital, population and business. We are not unmindful of the fact that Indianapolis, being remote from navigable waters, innst lo.-k to artificial means of transportation for receiving the products of the fertile regions of whicb she is a geographical centered for the distribution oi her wares and merchandise, and just here Is shown tier great advanta e of locality. Railroads, which in tbelr construction, obey ca'.ural laws almost aa certainly as navigable Streams, have, in a measure, almost unknown to other cities, converged upon Indianapolis. Her citizens have not been compelled to build these roads, or scarcely to ask for their construction, they have come to her in obedience to geographical arguments that could cot be Ignored, and,as a consequence, Indianapolis has crown into one of the great commercial Centura of the West. To Illustrate this point and place it beyond anything bat carping controversy, it may be well to look at the facte. Fortunately these are at band: Total value of taxrb1ea In 18.........f 1P,4K9,'90 Total vaiue of taxablesln lfcT75 . 69,231,749 Increase in 15 years. - .158,762,' 59 an annual increase of wealth of $3,224,150. Population in 1870 48,314 Population In ls7e (estimated) .UX,mO A gain In six ye xs of - -.-. 51,7-0 Or more than 100 per cent. 'Sue a figures can net fail to be gratifying to tboee who have bad laith is the future cf the metropolis of Indiana. If population and wealth bave increased la a gratifying ratio, haziness enterprises in almost every department bave been equally progressiva. This will appear from au'tectic data. Ia 1347-8 the park packing business commenced in this city, and during that year 18,000 bead of hogs wero slaughtered. In the year 1875 6 the business bad expanded to 323.184 head. In 1847-8 to do the business stht?d, r quired for tb6 purchase of the teg about f75,000. In 1875 6 tbe amount ws nearly 6,000,000. Of the flour his now in operation tbe first was erected in 1840 with a capacity of 200 barrels per day We now have cine mills with a opacity of 1,575 brls. per day, requiring when running to tbelr lall capacity about 2.500,000 bushels ot wheat. Such progress must be most gratifying aDd encouraging to every citiZ3Q of Indianapolis, as also to every citizen Of tbe state, a; least, to those who have any state prid. The items we bave given however, are not the only tvidencai we have of the strides ot this city towards commercial importance. Upon this point the following figures showing receipts and shipments for the past 11 months of leading articles will be found worthy of consideration: ARTICLES. Barley, bush.............. Cattle, head Corn ileal, bu&o Corn, bash..ra,....M !'lour, barrel. tog, head . . brc'd. suif'd. 841.42 37,600 . .... 1 979 14,2n7 1128 1 04,3 1S.79 ,190 12,577,5 .. i,010 8,O0 619,68 94,15 24,21 74,16 1 ..49,9"4(i5)KÄ6 i am, ics.

W 1,585 Provisions, tocs.......-.. 15,iS)j This list miht b extended to include tbe ectirs Hat cf aa reported by the railroads bat the otj?ct being to call the attention oi our readers to tbs magnitude of the trade of the city, tha abve suffices our purpose. The figures demonstrate remarkable growth and development. Thsy foreshadow x panslon upon a still grander scale, provided tbe city and her citizens are whe enough to lake the tidepf fortune at ita flood. Otiier cities have done tbU and watchful cf the courss of events are still contributing to their commercial advancement and supremacy. Ir-'Vinapolis now has a favorable opportunity, for a small cost, to place hsr commercial interests on a plane vastly elevated above the present. In tbe first place a commanding necessity is abundant and cheap fuel. This can be secured by the investment of f 100,000, which will secure aa air line railroad to the coal fields in Clay county. If Indianapolls is to grow as a manufacturing center, she must secure, beyond a peradventure, cheap power, and this can only be done by having a certain and never failing supply of cLeap fuel. Aa the case now stands the consumption of coal for manufacturing purposes exceeds 2 000,000 bushe s annually and if as it has been stated the oons'ruction of the contemplated road . would result in a saving of 2 cents per bushel, the direct benefits accruing to manufacturing eut rpris93 in tbe article ot power alone would exceed 40,000 annually, and cculd not fail to be aa argument whicb capitalist seeking for favorable localities to commence manufacturing enterprises would besursto consider. V ben the amount which tbe city is asked to ubcrHd la compared with the benefits certain to accrue to htr cUizsrs, hesitancy is a muter of surprise, and a rfa. I could be regarded as little less than business suicide. The people along tha

line are anxious to build tbe rod, and ready to sabscribe their means. To help them and secure the road and all of the benefits it promises will result in ths favorable solution of one ot the most important business problems ever submitted to the people of Indianapolis. New manufacturing enterprises are certain to follow, and the investment of more capital and steady employment for tbe laboring classes will be among the benefits that will flaw to tbe city. The building of the Belt Railroad is another enterprise which shrewd, Ur-seing business men are advocating. If it Is built, with the

proposed stock yards, upon scale calculated to attract the live stock oi Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa, there can be little doubt that in tbe near future this city will take rank with the largest live stock markets ot tbs country. Kvidently Indianapolis is a natural point for the concentration of stock for a portion of the states named, and as in Sc. Louis and Chicago, would contribute immensely in advancing every other business interest of tbe city. The growth ot tbe pork packing business and the grain business demands enlarged facilities, and now, when the city can combine ber credit with the capital of private cltizens.and secure the advantages set forth, we hold that it la good policy to step forward and do it. And since the company proposing to build Ibis road and stock yards provide against loss to the city, by giving a first mortgage on all tbe property of tbe company, the last objection to lending the required aid seems to be destroyed. Indianapolis is prepared tor an advanced movement. All that is required is a little aid from the city. In giving it, all parties will feel tbe vitalizing influence, and the present despondency would disappear. Tbe Republicans and the Stat Debt. Conspicuous among the subsidiary attachments oi tbe Radical machine Irr Indiana Is the Bureau for tbe Dissemination of Garbling and Lying Information Concerning Fioances, whose abiding place is in tbs central committee rooms and whose chief mouth pieces have heretofore been tbe two local organs. The stock in trade of this peculiar political body consis's of a bewildering mass of manufactured statistics which it twists about in kaleidoscopic fashion to suit its various purposes, and launches upon a long suffering publlo in a protean variety of shapes, ranging from tbe ephemeral paragraph in tbe frisky and petulant News to the massive leader in the ponderous and htavy-witted Journal. Of late the Cincinnati Gazette has been admitted within the charmed circle. Its issue of yesterday contains a rehash of tbe old, stile figures. Most of tbe statements made have lost what little force tbey ever bai by repetition and frequent contradiction, but one li is of such an ingenious and misleading character as to be worthy of further notice. This ia tbe statement that tbe Republican administration in 1870 "paid off the whole state debt." By a most audacious abuse of terms, showing a aublime confidence In the stupidity ot their readers, the Radical organs call the action of Republican legis latures by which four million dollars were appropriated not to say stolen from tbe school fund and applied to tbe redemption of Btate bonds, a ''payment" of the debt, ignoring the fact that tbe debt remains to the school fund, and continues to draw in terest to the amount of over f 200,000 per year. Not only this, but the rate of In terest paid on the new debt thus created is s x per cent, higher than on tbe old bonds, thus increasing the annual expenditure tor interest some $43,000. The most charitable construction tbat could be placed upon this would be to call it a refunding of the state deb, but it is a singnlsr sty le of refunding that raises the rate ot interest one per cent, and ab sorbs tor general purposes a fund specially set aeide for the support cf education. The manner of the proreedlrg was this: At various times from 1867 to 1873, tbe school fund which had accummulated in the treasury was drawn upon to discharge the general Indebtednesi of tbe state, till it wa? all absorbed. The new Indebtedness thus created is represented by so-called " non-negotiable bond." Tbe last auditors' report shows tbe existence of five of these bonds in the state treasury, reaching tbe amount of 3 904,718.22, and drawlog interest to the amount of f 234.236 99 annually. If the state debt was "paid" by ibis transaction, whence this annual charge for interest which makes tbe yearly tx levy 2 or 3 cents higher than it would otherwise be? Does a man diminish his indebtedness when he pays off a mortgage on a piece of property with money raised by another mortgage on tbe same property at a higher rate of interest? This would be an exactly parallel case. It ought not to be difficult for tbe people to see tbe bollownees of tbe Republican claims, and to comprehend the difference between pay leg a debt end merely refund Irg it on leas advantageous terms. It Is worthy of note in this connection that tbe last Republican auditor wholly neglected to piy one of tbe semi-annual Installments of interest on the school fund, amounting to 117,143 49, lesvlog that duty to be per lormed by the present Democratic official. Tbe same report of ths last Republican auditor alluded to above contains seme otter Instructive figures. It shows that the entire state debt which, it must be remembered, was paid three years before, aceording to tbe Gazette artlc'e to be $5,077,500 34. Oi this amount $3,904,783 22 14- itprtsented by the non-negotiable school board bondsv which draw Interest at tbe rate ot six per cent., this being the amount refunded from tbe old five per

cent, state bonds, by the absorption of tbe

school fund. On this part ot tbe debt, which the Republicans "paid," the people now pay 234,206 99 Interest every year. For the rest of the state debt, amounting to over a million, $910,000 of it was created by the last Republican treasurer, and is still carried, though the present Democratic administration has reduced the Interest on most of It one per cent., effactlrg a saving in this direction of over 17,000. This disposes ot tbe most dangerous fais'fication in the Gazette's article by showing the plan of paying the state debt. Tbe Republicans merely refunded It at an Increased rate oi Interest, adding about $40,000 to tbe burden of taxation, while the Democrats refunded portion ot tbe debt created by a Republican treasurer at a lower rate, saving tbe state over $7 000. There has been no material reduction oi the debt on either side, only a change in Its form, and any claim to this effect is mere demagogiem. 'Help me, bmih, or I Stale X" There is no doubt that a grave lear prevadea the Radical ranks as to the result in Indians, hence tbe dispalrlng cry tor belp to all quarters. The New York Times is urging Mr. Evsrtsta go to Indiaca "where he is so much needed." Mr. Biaine telegraphs that Mr. Rooert Ingerscll will be here by a certain date; but why this dispatch unless some desponding cry bad first gone to bim? Why does this patty wbicb prides Itself upon its superior moral status, upon the Christian character of its candidates and the great body of the party, why, we ask, does it request aid ot Mr. Iogersoll, an atheist of tbe veiy worst type; a brilliant blasphemer, It is true, and a talented Infidel? Ills reply to tbe person wbo announced that Hayes was nominated lor tbe presidency was "Tbe party has nominated a d d fool tor the pre s'dency." lie went home and as the legendär? taurine quadruped, vow ing not to make any speeches during tbe canvass, and it would be interesting to know tbe tempting bait used to coax the brilliant disappointed one from his self imposed banishment. We cannot endorse Mr. Ingersoll in his invoice ol Mr; ayes' stock. We might call Mr. Hays 'TbeGieat Ameiican Tax Dodger," but this is tbe extent of our indulgence in epithets. We gracefully yield the palm in this regard to our contemporary, "Toe Journal." It is interesting to tbe student of tbe vag ries of talented men to notice some of tbe extracts in a book written by Mr.Iogersoll. We particularly ask tbe attention cf the Rev. Mr. Biyllss. The title of tbe book is "Tbe Gods and other Lscturea" by "Robert O. Ingersoll," publisbed at Peoria, Illinois in 1874. On page Z41, we nod this criticism on the Great Being, to whom we all should reverently bow. "Search the re cords of the whole world, find out tbe his tory of every barbarous tribe, and you can find no crime that touched a lower depth of infamy than those tbe Bible God com manded and approved. For such a God I have no words to express my loathing and contempt, acd ail the words in all tbe languages of man would Bcarcely be suffi cient. Away with each a God." Again, on page 185, same book, "The church bs been and still is tbe great robber. She has rifled not only tbe pockets but tbe brainBOt tbe world." (One would think that he was talking of tbe Radical party, or tbe whisky ring.) He alludes, on page 188, to three great bodies of Christians as "Baptise Barnacles," "Petrified Presbyterians," and " Methodist Mummies." Again, on page 191, "Why are they (Christians) so delignted to find an allusion to Providence in the message ol Lincoln?" "Why will they adorn tbeir churches with tbe money of thieves?" Perbapi he was alluding to "Brother Winslow," the Boston forger, wbo recently skippel off to Europe. On page 239 we bave tb!s criticism on one of the psalms ot David. Hear the brilliant defender cf Radicalism, Granttsm and Ilayesl We copy verbatim et literatim. "Thin oi a God wicked and malic ious enough to inspire this prayer! Think of one ' Infamous enough to answer It! Had this Inspired psalm been found in some temple erected for the worsLlp cf s oak es or in tbe possession of some cannibal king, written with blood upon the dried skins of babes, there would have been a perfect harmony between its sur roundings and its sentiments." This is enough. Tbe Radicals are glad to get anyone to help them. We say to our friend?, everything betokens a glorious victory in Indiana. Prtss on, and let us make ourselves worthy to participate in tbe rejoicing over tbe Radical Waterloo in October. Shafting Oat the San. It will be remembered some months sgo that the postmaster at Indianapolis issued a circular letter to postmasters in this state, on crucial paper, signing with bis official title, and urging upon postmasters to use tbelr endeavors to increase tte clr eolation ot tbe Indianapolis Journal. This was at the opening of the canvass, Mr. Holloway himself then being a proprietor ot the Journal. - Now. he uses the same official letter-beads to incite postmasters to hinder the circulation of tbe Indianapolis Sun; We care not what sort ol an excuse Mr. Holloway may make about this matter. It will doubtless be something like .that wbich he made be ore, but nevertheless, tbe fact standa out prominently before the people that this is a proetitu lion ot the government organism designed for the benefit ol the people, to tbe iurtherense of partisan ends. If Mr. Holloway had reason to . be lieve that tbe proprietors of the Sun

were Infringing the law, be should have on those reasons called tbeir attention to tbe fact, presuming ot course that they were doing it ignorantly If they were doing it at all. It seems to us that tbe duty of a goverau eut official would have scarcely led him Into setting a trp to involve a political opponent in the inlractlon of tbe law, when be may bave been doing it ignorantly, and whicb might have been prevented by a friendly notice. Tbe whole purpose of tbls matter will be clearly understood by tbe people. Tbe matter Is very plain, and to ssy the least it is a very questionable proceeding, and needs rebuke. Ibis is not tbe first instance in which postmasters have been made use of in tbe present contest. Tbe Evaosvllle Courier found that Its weekly issue had been tampered with in tbe mails by enclosing Morton's speech as a surplement inside oi them. Also the Pittsburgh Post makes the same complaint, tbe same speech being found enclosed in the weekly issue when delivered t subscribers. Some of tbe postmasters a'so have used a cancelling stamp that lelt on tbe letters mailed from tbeir office in clear letters, "Vote for Hayes." These things cccurricg pending tbe election, the removal of Marshall Jewell and the appointment of Morton's friend, Tyncr, as postmaster general, ia suggestive. Beggtog Supplies. Tbe meeting of tbe ladies at tbe Third Presbyterian Church yesterday afternoon to consult with reference to tbe solicitation or subsistence stores tor the soidler to be in attendance at tbe Veterans' Reunion on the 30th and iilst, was not very largely atteudt-d. ihose who were present did not feel l.ke entering upon the work or canvassing tbe city without nfcsltance. They adjourned to meet at Roberta Park Church this atternopn at 3 o'clock. Whatever stores may be collected will be turned over to the quarterns as u-r and lmmed to regularly organized oc mpan'es and detachments under tils supervision. Unless there Is a general movement on tbe rart of the ladies of the city many visitors will go hungry . and tbe reputation of Indianapolis oe ditgracea. Journal. Has it come to this? We are profoundly astonished at the above, and tbe more that Is said about tbls soldiers, political reunion tbe more fully are s convinced tbat it is to be a disgraceful afTuir. Are tbe ladies of Indianapolis to be disgraced because they do not feel disposed to go begglcg from bouse to house fcr cold victuala upon which to teed the soldiers who are to assemble here next week? Is the crowd to be such a poor set ot fellows tbat they will not have money enough to patronlz3 a lunch stand in lieu oi going home "hungry 7" Breide, this taxing tbe people of Indianapolis to feed forty or fifty thousand men, as thev claim, iu times like tbe present is prepo8terou,.and if tbe

committee wl'O have the matter in charge have no better provision for those Invited tban Is indicated in the above, they bad better tell their Invited guesta to stay at home. We bave no doubt tbat this meeting, if It takes place at all, will be a small aQVr The idea of entertaining an encampment of soldiera for two or three days by victuals begged from house to bouse is so ri diculous that we are sure that all gallant soldiers will rather stay at home than become such pensioners upon the people of Indianapolis. The people of Indianapolis are not wanting in hospitality, and they are ever ready to re spond to all proper claims upon them. They have honored tbe soldiers of tbe re public in the past, and would be ready to do It again. But when their reunion degenerates Into a political gatberloe in tbe interests of a partisan cause, tbey bave no claim as soldiers upon tbe citizens of IndU anapolls, and it would be no disgrace to tbe ladies, or anyone else, if ti.ey go home hungry. Repudiation and Disloyalty. The Republican party ot tue State of Indiana, in convention, the 221 of February, resolved on the currency resumption question in explicit and untqulvocal terms, tbat " so much of the so-called Re sumption Act as fixas tbe time for resuming specie payments should be repealed." The Republican party of the State of New York, in convention, on tbe 231 of August, resolved on the currency quea tlon, in like explicit terms, "denouncing the action of tbe Damocratic House of Re presentatives in repealing the dte for lesumption as an act of repudiation and disloyalty." We call tbe attention of tho Republican speakers from New York to this discrep ancy in political doctrine, as tbey canvass this Hate In support of the Republican state ticket in Indiana. According to New York Retubliraoitm, tbe Indiana Rf-pub cans are DISLOYAL and REPUDIATIONIS TS. Tbe candidate for governor, Ben Harrison, in accepting the nomination, has placed himself upon the party p'.atform, which he la bouad to support. These New York speakers, after deciding what is orthodox Republicanism at borne, come out West to belp elect a disloyal perBon and a repudiationlst. Tbe convection tbat assembled here on tbe 22ad of of February certainly comprised the leaders of the Republican party of tbe ' atate. Their platform was adopted unanimously. Therefore, according to New York Republicanism, they are ail disloyal and redu Jlationlsts. This is a nice position for the par excellent, truly loyal rarty of Indiana to occupy. Just think of the followers of the noble war governor being denounced by Mcr gan, Dlx, Con kling. Murphy, Wheeler Woodford, all fining iu denunciation of the followers ol Morton. Nay, it strikes at Morton himself, for It is said that be decided lbe policy and shaped tbe plat form that ws adopted. Alas for the Centennial year politico, when tbe grand mogul of Republicanism is denounced by his own party aa disloyal and a lepndia tlonlst.

Cincinnati Uazette. Well, then, you are disappointed. You will not bave 21,000 nor 18,000, nor even 10,000. lbe telegraph this morning reports gales f jr the Republican party, but it is based upon the election cf 1S75, which was almost lest to the Radicals by local dlfsstsions. It is not fair to estimate on tbat vote tbe gains or losses ol either party. It is proper in this instance, in order to make a fair report to make comparison with a vote for Governor four years ago, Just previous to the presidential contest. Let tbe estimate be ma?e on the 17,210 majority cf 1872, and then tbe gains will be on tbe otber side. The las; reports of one hundred towns indicate a reduced majority, and it must be very mortifying to the Radicals oi this and other states to see that notwithstanding all their efforts, Maine, where the people Jive on codfish and sorghum and feel least tbe pressure ot hard times ba gone backward and shows signs of favoring reform. Net only the Gazette, buttbe pirty at large will be disappointed, for it is still worse tban Vermont.

The Journal narrates a private conversation between the respective chairmen of the Democratic and Republican Central Commute?, in which' Col. Friedley mail fest a most prodigal restlessness, even to the point of spoiling, for joint discussions, and suggests that if Mr. Voorfcees wishes to meet a disputant, tbey will lurcish a man, a Mr. Barrow?, to meet bim. Wbo IsJMr, Burrows, that Col. Friedley offers as a foe man worthy to debate with Mr Vcorbees with his national reputation? It is well tbat Col. Friedley mentioned that he was from Michigan, It gives us that mach information anyhow. If Col Friedley wishes to continue tbe Joint discussion policy, ,let bim bring out Mr. Morton. They are bth citizeus of Indiana, and though Mr. Voorhees is not now senator, he will be at the end of Mr. Morton's present term. We are autberized to say tbat Mr. Voorhees will meet Mr. Morton whenever Col. Friedley can make it convenient to arrange tbe matter with tbe distinguished senator, who seems so anxious for discussion. Don't bring on your nobodies if you wisL to bave a discussion with Mr. Voorhees. He has accepted challenges from two of ycur strongest men 'from abroad, and would relish a meeting with the hero oi the bloody sbirt and the defender ol Grant. Bring him out or back down ! SOLDIERS' REIT ION lTd CHARACTER. PARTISAN Soldiers' reunion , as a general thing, are commendable, and should be encour aged by all good and patriotic citiz3us. The soldiers wbo sharad th trials of tbe msreb, the privations of tbe siege, tbe risks ot battle and the fun and irolic of the regular camp, experience a rtre pleasure iu meeting togetner to renew the friendships formed in those far-oü days, to recall the incidents and adventures of camp and field, and to re eu&a in fancy the thousand and one events wboe aggregate makes up the history ot the war. At tuen times their hearts are stirred again with tbat patriotic ardor whicb transformed the ploughboy, tbe mechanic, tbe clerk and the Btudent into aa army of heroes; and it is gratifying to them to notice that the great mass ot tbe people ejmpatbizs with them and appreciate tbeir patriotism and tbe willing sacrifices tbtey made for their country. But when soldiers' reunions are transformed: into simple partisan meetings, and political managers manipulate them solely for tbe advancement of partisan ends, tbe case is materially altered. Party is substituted for country, and nar row partisan feeling for the broader and deeper eplrlt of patriotism. And the distinction should be borse in mind; for tbe attempt to control tbe political action of a citizen tnrouen bis preju dices, to rekindle a feeling of sectional bate, acd use it as a means ot controlling bis vote. Is neither patriotic nor statesmanlike. Ifc is demagogu'sm unadulterated. A reunion of soldirs of tbe Union army has been appointed to take place in tnis city in tne latter part ot the present month, ice invitation is addreseed to Republicans only.and patriot ism is subordinated to partisauim. Iu ev ery state ot the north toere are thousands of soldiers wbo were Democrats when tbey entered they army, and have contiaued to own allegiaoce to that pnrty. The terms ot tbe invttat:on shuts them outirom tu;s reunion of tbeir old comrades, unless they are acting from patriotic motives in adhering to their political faith. What tben? Are they to be won over to the support of the Republican ticket by being classed ssrboeis," ana tauntea with affiliating with a party of traitors? There is reason for a doubt that thi political soldiers' reunion will bring, forth Irlt . to the glory of tbe Republican party. It is a part ot tbat mistaken policy wbich exalts tbe standard ot tbe bloody anirt and denies to the average voter the capacity to be reached by aound argument. The average American voter is not a fool. He Is susceptible to the influences wbicb control enlightened and intelligent men everywhere. Hocnb controlled more effectually bv appeals to bis reason, tban by appeals to bis passions. Why should a Dartv that has tneauvautage oi position In eouad argument abandon it to wage a wariaie with the weapons or ignorance ana barbarism? The triumph of the Republi can party on the issue which Is typified bv ttie tlO kit sniri win leave it in no con dition to effoct tbe ieioruia tor which tbe people are clamoring so loudly.' It should be abandoned. Tfee enlightened sentiment of tbe country is enlisted with tbe noble aad patrtot c utterances ol Gen.Uajes's letter of acceptance.' It no longer svmpatbizea with the doctrines of the gospel ot hate ao faithfully preached by Senator Morton. It the Roablican party would draw to tbe suDoortof its ticket tbs Democrats wbo bore arms in detense oi tne country in tue war of tbe rebellion, tbey must not begin bv denouncing them as traitori fox an bonest difference ot opinion on political issues, but ply them with facta ar.d arguments. They osn be won over in. no otner way. Evening Ne.va,

JULIAN'S SENTIMENTS

Substantially the Same aa Seven Years Since. STILL FOR REFORM. AN EXTRACT FROM AI OLD SPE1CH WHICH . COMPARES WELL WITH THE OXB RE CESTLY DEL1VKRKD. To tbe Editor of the Sentinel: StR Because the gre;t Liberal leader, Julian, happens to be in accord with the Demociatlc party on the great overshadowing issues of the day, bis former Republican allies term him an apostate, a " turn-coat," a renegad?; in short, they exhaust their vocabulary of epithets to maae up for his loss to the party whose principles be once advocated. But has he cnatgdr Can Senator Morton and bis mouthpiece, tbe Journal, prove from the record tbat Mr. Julia i is an apostate? While bis position on the great questions of reform and tte flaaoct-s Is identical with that of Gov. Tilden and Gov. Hendriks and other eminent statesmen, it is qually true, and can fce proven from tho record, that the principles enunciated in Mr. Julian's opera bouas speech were entertained and bravely uttered by bim seven vears o. In a spt-ecn In Congress in 18C9, upon tha subject cf flow to Resume Specie Payments," Mr. Julian preset. ted a few plain and old fashioned ways and means of re ob log specie resumption. Amocg other words of wiedom to be found in tnat carefully prepared epsecb, I extract the following whica so nearly ccords witn.the St. Louis oiatform nd Gov. Tilden's letter, aa to render the differenca indiscernible. L SENTIMENTS SEVES TEARS A0O. "The s'mpla and obvlc-ns solution of our financial problem is to be f jund in the reduction of expenditures and tbe increase of productive capital. This is the chosen and sure way to specie payment?, and to real national wealth; and tbe time bas come to confees it, and to plant our feet on the solid ground of ac;ual facta. Tte country baa oeen fed on mere theories locg enough. Tbe brains of our publlo men bave been teeming with ambitious scbemes of finance, ali radically differing from each other, bewildering, rather than enlightening the general mind, exciting false hopes, and kindling among the pecplo a feverish discontent, instead of evoking the spirit of patience in tbe endeavor to accept the real tact of our condition aud the lesson which they teach. There is co short cot to specie payments by the mere fiat of law, independent ot our actual resources. Legislation can create a debt, but it can net pay it. We might j ist as reasonably attempt to change tie properties of the triaugle by act of congress, as to fix tbe precise day on which tbis, our national debt shall be fully paid or cur greenbacks tedeemed in coin." "VVbat we want, I repeat, is economy ot expenditure and increased production. Oi the ols band, we must cut down all appropriations to the lowest practicable figure; refuse all fngntlul subsidies to railroads, steamships and kindred projects; revise the tariff and tax laws in tbe in Wrest ot labor, and so re form the civil service tbat tt.e money drawn from tr.e earnings of the people shall net be tqutndered by incompetent and corrupt c fliciale." HIS VOICE bTILL FOR REFORM. When Mr. Julian gave utterance to tbe above and kindred sentiments, he was an honored member of the R -publican party, a member ot Congress from Indiana, and was making an honest fight for reform "within the ptirty." Has he then changed because Givernors Tilden and Hendricks aud the party to which they belong, share with him the same eentiment?
