Indian The Sun, in publishing such a sentence, knows that it lies. It is nseless to dodge the issue., We like honorable antagonists, we despise mendicity. The democratic party la a party of earnest convictions, and its record evidences the fact The democratic party is convinced that the resumption law ehould be repealed; that silver should be yemonetizfd; that the nat-ouil fcaoi bUU

should be retired, and that a rational currency should take its place.. Tire democratic party is convinced that Xhe people ,vhould have a currency per capita sufficient to transact.tae legitimate business of the country. The democratic party is in favor ot legislation that will revive business and

industries, and give idle men work and wages. The Sun makes an ass of itself when it insratrates anything to the contrary, and makes itself contemptible in the eyes of all right thinking men when it charges that "intelligent and honest democrats" everywhere believe the party destitute of "convic'tioos and without principles." No decent shret would make such a charge. WHAT DOES LABOR DEMAND ? The centennial show which took place in Philadelphia in the year 1870 was notable , ma i,5Kf5rt f ha rlnmr.ba rf "'J 1-J " labor. The same is equally true of all the great expositions in other countries that have invited the world's admiration and which have been the- themes of poets, orators, statesmen, political economists and scientists. It has been well said that labor creates everything. It was labor that built the world; labor has embellished it, labor redeemed it, and labor is still going forward in its work of adornment.' Money capital is a tool, labor wields it; capital is . inert, labor vitalizes it; capital is cold as an iceberg, labor warms it into life. Capital is like a rough marble block which labor takes, and under its skilled chisel, fashions it into statuary commanding the admiration of all beholders. Capital stands still; labor compels it to move. The monuments of man's labor divide rith omnipo' tence the admiration of the world.' Niagara is scarcely more nn object of wonder than the pyramid of Cheops, and Cleopatra's needle, in a London square, will challenge the admiration of travelers as certainly as Mont Blanc. The monuments of labor are evidences of the world's progress. The bridge that spans river or mountain gorge. J tue locomotive that draws the train around the dizzy heights of the mountain, the steamship that defies adverse winds, and tides and moves like a thing oi life along the trackless paths of the ocean, the canals that conpect inland seas with ocean tides, j making water highways for the products I of labor, the wealth of forest, field, farm and mine, receive the admiration of the world, "and stamp labor with a dignity that I can not be effaced. The subject invites to ' indefinite elaboration, but if what we have j said is true then the demands of labor upon j those who shape the legislation of a country ! should be met by a policy liberal instead of j i oppressive, just instead of inequitable. It j should lift labor to a high plane and recog- i nize its claims upon the country. Unfortu- j nately, under radical rule, just the opposite . policy has been practiced until its oppressiveness has become so intolerable that ! farther endurance is meeting with a j protest which, rightly interpreted, is the I premonition of widespread revolution, j Laboring people have learned that the radical party has no sympathy whatever with labor. . For years past Its measures have tended directly to destroy their independence; to subject them to the despotism of i money, to reduce them to beggary, and to j treat them as serfs. Grant, the patron ot i thieves, filled the land with corruption, i stealing became the rule, honesty tha ex . ception. Uribes were o tiered regardless oi " o ;pted in broad dayliqUL j mulled to conciliate fc'hv- i exposure and acce Contracts were am locks with a nonchalance indicative of a stolid perfidy unparalleled in the history of any civilized country under heaven. From Washington there ilowed out through the country streams of 'corrupting directl v or remotely upon business affairs remotely upon was in favor of money capital and against the interests of labor, and in due time the prop of bitter fruits was ready for the harvest. Panics set in.' Great concerns that had been Intimately associated with radical thieves in Washington tumbled to pieces, and were found to have been gilded lies whrted sepulchres. Then followed failure upon failure in rapid succession. Industries stood still; labor was paralyzed and idleness multiplied. The situation has been growing worse instead of better for years, and still we -find the most distinguished radicals in the country as determined as ever ; to strike at labor and further oppress and i degrade it Cut labor has at last resolved to i resist this cursed radical policy, and is orI ganizin for the contest The" subject is one ! of unquestioned gravity, and is attracting J attention. There are now at least live mil I lions of forced idlers in .the country. They j want to work, but the radical party by its cursed legislation has forced them into idle ness, and is pressing them towards starvation. Forces hitherto latent are coming to the front Labor, is being instructed with regard to its power in moulding the "policy of the government The New York Graphic in commenting upon forces in politics remarks that "the national debt is only a small part of a much larger problem. The forces that can be ' enlisted on either side In a struggle about it are very small 'compared with those which a struggle between capital and labor could muser. And, indeed, the question of the national debt , 'has received much of its recent importance because of the assumed bearings of its solution in any given way on the larger ques-' 'lion which was conceived to be behind ' it 'Xow, we should all remember that univer'sal suffrage is in this country our final ar'biter, and what universal suffrage will do about-capital and lab.'.-r no one yet knows 1 'universal suffrage has not made tip its mind. The passions to be evoked by such a strugg'e as seems at times imminent; owing to the prostration of industry and the enforced 'idleness of the laboring classes, are matters 'deserving of. thought at this time, when observing men see that the elements of 'parties and opiaions. are beginning to take .'some kind of shape." The allusion by the Graphic to "universal 'suffrage" is opportune. The ballot in due .time will correct existing evils. The government will be rescued from the grap of iShy-locks.,-New avenues to labor will be opened, thieves will not be permitted to grow rich off of misfortunes directly chargeable to corrupt legislation. The power of universal suffrage will la brought to bear cpou the curse 3 Shy.

lcK'kism has inflicted upon the country. The democratic party is pledged to reform. Every act, since It has had control of the national house of representatives, has indicated a fixed purpose to emancipate the busness and industries of the country from the grasp of the money power, and cive to the

labor interests of the country their rightful position in public affairs.' I'RCC till IPS. Under radical rule every branch of busi ness has been paralyzed. . The breath of radicalism seems to be as heavily freighted with death as the atmosphere around a upas tree. The whole course of radical legislation has been against American interests. We defy the most astute of all the radical lead ers to point to a single act bearing upon the business interests of the - country that has not operated'to the detriment of the people. In the preparation of the new tariff bill by the democratic house of representatives on effort has been made to correct radical follies. This is specially shown with regard to the purpose of transferring the bulk of the carry ing trade, between this and foreign countries to American ships. To do this, every obstacle will be removed, so far as legislation can do the work, and American ship owners will be permitted to purchase ships where they can do it for the least amount of money, and put them at once under the protection of the American Hag by an American registry. To show the blighting effect of radical legislation upon one of the most Important of American enterprises, it is only necessary to refer to data drawn from authentic sources. The bureau of statistics furnishes the following figures showing the decline of the American carrying trade. They are for periods of five years, and are conclusive:

It will be noticed that as soon as the radical party came into power the ocean carrying trade at once commenced passing into the hands of foreigners until from 03.51 per cent, of the trade in 1S00 it fell to 20.99 percent, in 1877. Instead of more than three-fourths of this trade, as in 1855, we have but a fraction over ona-fourth in 1877. Daring the past seventeen years while this decline has been going forward the tariff and navigition laws or the country have been under the conlrol of the radical party, and results are known. The probabilities are that an entirely new policy will now be inaugurated, and that American ships, instead of carrying less than those belorging to foreigners, will be restored to the mastery of the business they enjoyed under democratic rule. HOMIIOMt:il AM) TAX-PAYER. The government made greenbacks money legal tenders for all debts dae the people', j but not for all debts due the government. The greenbacks were good enough for soldiers, who were baring their breasts to storms of iron and leaden hail, who were facing death in ten thousand different forms, but custom duties mus bo paid in gold. Under this infamous radical legislation greenbacks declined in value as compared with guid." Down they went with terrible. momiQlum, and Shyiocks helped on the down hill rush; and when they were at the lowest point, say HZ to 40 cents on the dollar, they were able to coin them into government bonds. When this was accomplished, when millions had ' been invested, ' a movement was made to abrogate the original contract, which was successful. Bonds purchased with'greenbacks, and payable in greenbacks, were made payable in coin at the expense of the tax-payers of the country. . Shyiocks were exalted and taxpayers oppressed. There was great joy in gilded palaces, there were lamentations in the homes of the toiling millions. The bondholdersTolled in wealth, and pinching poverty laid its crushing paw upon the peopre. But even this was not enough to satisfy the insatiable greed of the bondholders. They wanted more, and radicals conceded it The demand was for gold only gold in payment of principal and interest of bonds purchased with greenbacks at prices ranging from 35 to 70 cents on the dollar. This was an extreme-demand. The Shyiocks and their pimps dareed not present the proposition to the cousideration of the American people. They dareed not discuss thequestion of the demonetization of the silver dollar; hence the radicals in congress resorted to a swindling strategem, and without law, and in defiance of law, "dropped out" the silver dollar as one of the coins of the country. A more infamous act was never recorded. It was a blow at the tax-payers of the country. Its purpose was in all regards to impoverish the people and make them the bond slaves of the Shyiocks. The people, the tax -payers, revolted, and Hayes tried the .veto power to bring them into submission. The presidential fraud failed in his scheme. The people .for once were more powerful than a crime, staioed aud a crime cursed radical president The indebtednessof the country will have to be paid by the people, the tax payers, and they demand a hearing. They believe their interests are as important as those of the bondholder. If the country ever gets out of debt the people, the tax payers, will have to do the work : make the money and pay the bills, an.d from this time, forward will be beard in the councils of the government. Radical frauds and conspirators may as weiL make up their minds to submit to the voice and will of the tax payers; they have been forced into the background long enough. They will no longer remain silent They have a .case before the high tribunal of public opinion. They understand Hayes and John Sherman; they are advise! a3 to the purpose of the 'Shylock policy; they will no longer listeA with voices hushed to the demands of the Shyiocks; they will not be forced Into bankruptcy and ruin without a protest-The radical Shylock pol icy -will I .' '

hav to be changed; the tax payers are in earnest now; the great heart of the people pulsates in opposition -to serfdom; the people will dethrone fraud; they will wipe out the national banks; they will compel the government to issue the currency, gold, silver and paper. In a word the people will rule. The seat of empire is not cast of the Alleghenies; the population and the power is in the west, the south.the southwest.and the northwest. The star of empire is rising. New York and Xew England, nor yet Europe, can arrest -its march, to the zenith. Indiana is on the war path. Her sons are enlisted in the campaign. Her daughters will give aid and comfort The people against the Shy locks is the personnel of the campaign. The radical party have got to carry Hayes and Sherman. It is responsible for every business curse that now' prostrates the business of the. country. Its policy has been to impoverish the tax payers and aid the Shyiocks. It must pay the penalty of defeat The democratic party, that has alway been the people's party, is coming into power, and when it is enthroned radicalism and its infamous heresies will disappear.

The Silver Dollar Its Effect Vpon Gold and BiiftluesM. (Brooklyn Eagle. Gold yesterday touched the lowest point it has marked since the government, under the pressure of a terrible emergency, undertook to isiue paper currency without specifying when it would be redeemed m real money. Yesterday gold sold at less than one per cent premium. It will be wholly unworthy of those newspapers which honestly opposed the recent silver legislation, to 6ay that this is not a surprise to them, for it is. Various reasons will be given by those who find it hard to admit that - they were mistaken to account for the steady fall in geld apart altogether from the remonetization of silver; but it will be difficult to mae the people separate the two things. It will be Eaid that the effect of" the recent legislation is not yet felt, but this will not be a satisfactory "explanation, because if any evil effect was apprehended it would be felt It is said, and truly, that the balance of trade continues to be largely in our favor, and that therefore, taere is no gold going out of the country, but this is saying no more than that the remonetization of silver is not felt one way or the other. In all probability the true cause for the decline in gold, as compared with the greenback, is this: There will be no excuse for speculation in gold in a very little while, because silver will be received in payment of custom house dues. While there was a legitimate need of gold for certain purposes, gold fluctuated like ony other article which the speculators chose to gamble in. Nothing but the most absolute and terrible necessity will ever justify a government in making a discrimination against the currency it provides for those living under it. This was done by our government shortly after the outbreak of the rebellion when, in order to lloat its bonds, it pledged itself to exact customs duties in coin and to hold that coin as pledged to the payment of the interest cf the public debt Specie payment has been suspended in Italy for many years, and yet its paper currency has not been more than one or two per cent, below its par value in gold, if we are not mistaken. In France, after the recent suspension of specie payment, the" paper money was of only slightly less value Than gold, and had no discrimination been made against the grt-enback here, and resolute, and steaiy tteps been taken towcrd resumption, the seme state of facts would have existed from the time the war closed with the complete ascendency of the government, i nquesuonaoiy a great majority of the American people were in favor ' of the recent silver legislation. We could j not convince ourselves that tbe majority i were right, but if they should prove to be so, he must be a very intemperate anti-bimeUl-ist indeed who will not be glad of it So far, most unquestionably, the tvils which were exacted to follow the action of congress on the silver question by those who eid not favo-it have not been realized. Forfeited Public Likiids. f Courier-Journal.!

Ioulsltepubllcan.l '' The bill which the house' committee on education and labor have agreed on for the apportion meht of tbe proceeds ot the sales of the public lands among the states. is a measure entitled to favorable consideration. It provides that the net proceeds of sales of the public lands shall be divided among the states and territories in proportion to their jKJpulstion of school age that is, in proportion to the number of children between the c:es of 5 and 21 years in each. After five years from July 31. 1878, each state and territory is to invest one-half the moneys so apportioned to if in, . four per cent. United Suites bouds as a permanent fund for educational purposes, and after ten years-the whole amount so apportioned is to bs invested in like manner. The bill further provides that for the first ten years the distribution to the states and territories Eh all be made on the basis ot tbe "number of persons of ten years and over who can riot read and write. . In the year 1S74 the sales of public lands

yield:-! 11,852.428; in 1875, $1,413,040; in U,12!,4s and in 1877, $970.25:1 the otal for the four years bing $5,31,78.7. At the last census the limits of school age were five and eighteen years, and the number of children was 12,00,000. The proceeds of the sales of put lie lands during the. last four years have averaged about $1,342,000 a year, and this, divided among the states and territories, would give 11 cents for every child of school age. The number of such children In Missouri was 577,803, and our state's share in the distribution would be $03,53 per annum. This sum could be invested in United .States bonds as a permanent fund, only the interest being used; but as it would be increased by the annual distributions, it would in a few years amount to an important fund, and be a valuable auxiliary to our educational system.

THE COJKIXO CAMPAIGN. Radicals Anxlooi aw to the Interests of th Democratic Tarty. Nashville American. The New York Times tells us how the democrats will conduct the next campaign, and upon what issues: The. "cry" of the democrats In the next campaign will be largely, if not altogether, the fraud of the electoral commission, but they will have nothing to rest their charges upon, except that the commission did exactlv what it was appointed to do, namely, declared its determination of a dispute which the democrats wild should not be settled in any other Allow us to remind the Times that, while a commander can always conduct a war to a successful issue if he can obtain the contract of supplying his enemy with ammunition," stores and munitions, it is seldom that any belligerent power employs its enemies to furnish sand filled shells, and powder' which won't burn, and guns warranted to burst. The democ-ats wiil neither altogether, largely, nor at all, rely upon, the fraud of ' the electoral commission. Tbe fraud lies back of the electoral commission. The first intimation the country had of it was the announcement the day after the election, by the Times, that Louisiana had been carried by the republicans and .the persistent maintenance of that falsehood, when the returns showed the reverse.. When other republican newspapers rot in tho secret with Zich Chandler gave it up, and even Hayes weakened, the Times'rated tbem as a set of uir niesand spfts, who didn't know when they were well oft. The fraud was in the systematic and deliberate preparation for altering returns and in carrying out the scheme through the aid of co-conspirator visiting statesmen and local returning boards. The Times and the rest of the republican party would be extremely glad, no doubt, if passing over this conspiracy and the fraud, perjury, forgery, low knavery used in securing its results, the democracy would expend its strength upon the acts of a commission which it helped frame and set up. There is no doubt about the fraud and qad faith, of the commission. Judge Strong's confession that a foul wromr was done in Louisiana leaves no dcubt that "the eight 'members saw and ignored the precedent fraud. But that is neither here nor there. The commission was a mere temporary makeshift: the republican party is a thin with continued existence, which we have always with u?, as real as the orthodox view of Satan. It is the fraud of that party which can attempt to-morrow what it d' yesterday will be attacked by the demoj.atic party. The'fraud of the commission the judicial malfeasance was only post i ble through the precedent fraud of the party. The commission is an unimportant corpse: expired with the occasion that gave it birth. The democratic party will attack that which the Times Tould prefer it would not attack, and returns the case of condemned ammunition with assurances of high appreciation of its kindness, but would prefer to fight it out on the other line if it takes three years. True Friend. It happens not seldom that we are put to the test, whetLer we are mere fair-weather friends or frieDds in need. The friendship of the world is but a hollow thing; it often fails just when friendship is most needed. It may last in sunshine, and may be strong enough to join people together in the common intercourse cf society, but let the day of trial come, let shame and reproach threaten, let faithfulness entail losses and sacrifices and how stands the friendship of the world then?. To make one sure of a friend friendship must have a deeper Toot than mere worldly friendliness has. Faithful friends are to be found faithful and true, kind and liberal and "sympathizing," real helpers and comforters, and most of all so m the hour of need, and when nothing is to be looked for in return. Such friends there are, but where? Not, fti general, among those who know no higher - principles or motives than those of the world, but mainly at least among those who love God, and, for his cake, love man. These are the friends to depend upon. Their aim in nil things is toshow themselves children of Him who is kind even to the unthankful and evil; they feel themselves bound, therefore, to dp ood, "hoping for nothing again.". If such be their desire toward fctrangero they will not desert a friend. It is one part of a Christian'to be a faithful friend." liourdillon. Pari lie Kailroaris. t. Louis Republican.! Under the Crittenden resolution of inquiry, passed by the house some time ago, the . secretary of the interior informs the house that the Vnion Pacific railroad, has invested over $3,000,000 in other railrcais built as accessories to it, and that the company are making arrangements to build a road to the Black Hills. The point of interest in this information is that this $3,000,000 which the 1'nion; Pacific, company, have expended in promiscuous railroad building "in the west bolongs of right to the government and ought to have been used to pay the interest on the bonds loaned, to the company. The . road's indebtedness to the government is increasing every year by the accumuiatioLS of unpaid interest, and it would be more in keeping with propriety and justice for the company to pay its debts, or 6ecure theoi, than to expend its surplus revenues in building additional roads. Fight JBelHeeu lojr and Flub. ' (N. Y. Kun.J . Fnnce Gortchakoff is credited with having long ago-said that a war between Russia and England would be like a fight between a dog and a fish. And yet we see a large part ii the $30,Oi lO.ODO voted by parliament used in strengthening the British navy, already before ten times as strong as the Russian, and perfectly capable of commanding both the Baltic and the Black. Besides completing its own new shipp, the British government "has expended $1,700,000 in buying the powerful Turkish steam ram Mendonnuje. dow the Superb, t he raykiSherref.now the Belleisle, and tl e Brooji Zafer, sister of ' the Payki Sheriff.

GREENLEY GONE. The Murderer of Ida Kersey Sentenced to be ' Hung on the 10th of May.

The Motion for a New Trial OvernJed-The j Full Text of the Decision. In the criminal court room yesterday morning a large crowd congregated in hopes of hearing the decision of Judge Iluskirk on the motion for a new trial in the Oreenley case. The judge entered the conrt room shortlj- after 1 o'clock, and ordered the prisoner brought; into court and the attorneys notified of his readiness to rule on the case. Greenley soon arrived in custody of the sheriffs deputies, and took his seat directly in front of the bench. He sat with a hand on each arm of the chair, and with his eyes closed and head downward. He was very pale, and it was noticeable that he was laboring under grett mental excitement. MessrxBuskirk.rottsand Griffithfor the defense, soon arrived, and the judge's gavel announced that order must be mintained. He then read in a trembling voice tbe following ruling: I have given all the points raised why a new trial should be granted tills defendant a great deal of attention and close investigation, and have been greatly- assisted by tho able and exhaustive arguments of the counsel on both sides. 1 trust 1 have been duly impressed with the irup-rtancc of the Question Involved in dispute, and of the grave consequences that miliht follow my rulings, -and I nope and trust in the fmuie that I wiU not have to assume such responsibilities. I have concluded that the defendant has had a lair and impartial trial beiore 12 conscientious men, who plainly listened to all thete8timony; that also he had the assistance ot" )le and distinguished counsel, who advanced allot' the argumeniH their learning and experience could suggest; that there have leen no errors of law committed to justify me In disturbing the verdict ot the Jury. I have thus briefly slated the conclusion I have arrived at without giving details upon each io!nt raised. 1 have the con sola tio . of knowing, aud it is indeed a consolation in this case, that if I have wronged this defendant he has the right to appeal t,o the supreme court of the stale, who will likewise patiently investigate all the points raisedintbLsca.se. and who will not hesitate to say whether there have been errors committed KUllioient to entitle the defendant to a new trial. The defendant's motion lor a new trial is overruled. Judge Buskirk in a low voice then said,. "Stand up, ilr. Greenly," which he did, supporting himself with one hand on the chair, ilr. Iuskirk then continued in a firmer tone, "Have you anything to say why the sentence of the court should not be passed upon the verdict of .the jury?" The judge paused for the doomed man's answer, who was almost choked with emotion, but said in a week, trembling voice, "No, sir." His lips were noticed to move slightly, as though he was endeavoring to say something. The court paused for his remarks, and was about to conclude by passing the sentence, wheji Judge Samuel II. Dunkirk moed to arrest the judgment, which was overruled by the court, and he continued: Mr. GreenKy, it is not for me, a frail man., to lecture you uon the enormity of the oftense you have Iwen con viced of, nor to urge upon you the necessity of repentance and lorgiveiiess of Kin before you are called upon to meet your God. All of these matters more properly belong to your spiritual advisers thau to me, whose occupation iu life has not iccu:iaiiy fitted him lor giviugyueh a'lvlee. 1 will say this: I will be more merciful to you than you were. to the poor murdered girl whom you hurried into eternity upon that fatal night without a moment's preparation for the dread change. I feel di.-oscd to give you ample time io prepare yourself for death. It is the sentence of this court that you be kept confined in the body of the Marion county jail until Friday, the loth day oi May, 17S; that yon that day, between the hours of 12 n. in. and 2 p. in., sutler death by hanging. The prisoner, 'who had remained standing, then eat down, not appearing to notice anything around him. As he took bis seat an entire change seemed to have enveloped him, and he, resembled a person suffering intense agony, but with little outward showing. Judge Samuel II. Buskirk then prayed an appeal to the supreme court, and asked "0 days to prepare his bill of exceptions. The court complied, and then the court room became quiet. Greenley was returned to the jail, where he was less conversant than ever before, declining to talk with his fellow prisoners, and seems to have lost all hope, though his attorneys are confident of gaining their point in the supreme court. After sentence had been pnsed the following was received by the judge: Jl-DOE EVKKIKK lIOXOnAHLK SIR If it should necome necessary l'jr you, in the discharge of your o'1'icial duty, to sentence the man Oreenley tone hung, let me suggest that you fix upon som other day in the week than Friday. Friday has been looked upon as an unluc ky day for Centuries, and are not Judges in the nineteenth century pandering to a relic of barbarism in always cuooxing Friday as the dy peculiarly fitted lor the execution of the law because it is an unlucky day? Can't we have one Indejiendent Judge wlwe icts will not indicate tht lie Ls superstitious? Yours, Ay Day but KKinAv. The State House Plans. The state house-commissioners have whittled the number 9 plans before them down to three, and expect to make a selection by Wednesday evening or Thursday at thefarthest. It is generally believed that Indianapolis is still represented in the three best plans before the board. . As it will be necesf ary to construct a sewer to connect the state house with the sewers of the city,, it is probable that the work of building a sewer to connect with the Illinois streat or Kentucky avenue sever will be. carried on at the same time with the excavation forrther state house.
