It is universally admitted that the Indian war, now under way and which promises to be unusually disastrous, is the outgrowth directly of radical scouitdrelism. Radical -agents swindled the savages until they declared that it was better to fight than to starve. Iv Grant, through the influence of the distinguished thieves who enjoyed his friendship and confidence, becomes emperor and establishes a dynasty, his boy Fred will be his successor, or, by some possibility, Orvil might be called upon to wear the crown and wield the scepter all of which looks nice. Tub Indianapolis 8entinel accounts for the animosity of the Journal toward Voorhees. It is because "a greater man than Morton Is in Morton's seat." We knew something peculiar waa the matter, bat had not thought of the real explanation. Cincinnati Commercial. We propose to set you right upon a variety of subjects during the campaign. "Real explanations" is what the radical party needs, and what it will get in due time. The platform adopted by the Arkansas democratic conventinn is a lair exponent of democracy as it n in the west. There is no opposition In Arkansas, and the party is not afraid to speak Its sentiments. Cincinnati (iazette. Sow, you sneaking defamer of truth, you blatant apologist of fraud, you unblushing defender of radical scoundrelism, if there is anything in the Arkansas democratic platform objectionable, why don't you publish it? .

Cincinnati Oazette. Is it not a more "intere ing hunt" to find out just what John Sherman promised the perjury cursed scoundrels for putting Hayes in the office of president.' It is known that About fifty crime stained radical villains are now supported by the government as a re. ward for forgery and perjury. Let us have the big and bottom facts first Ges. E. Follexsbee Noyes, who represents the Kliza Pinkstoa administration In France, arrived at home in Cincinnati on Wednesday evening last. He was met at the depot by ten carriage loads of old officeholders and taxentrs, and escorted to a hotel. Baltimore Uaaette. Noyes went to Louisiana and then to Florida to help the conspirators put Hayes in office. He got hold of a set of radical scampsand by giving them to understand that if they stood firm by their forgeries and frauds that they would be taken care of, succeeded. As a result Hayes is in office and Noyes is minister to France, and about a score of Florida rascals are in fat offices. No wonder that ten carriage loads of the advocates of fraud met Noyes at the depot When the New Testament scriptures can be bought for Ave cents there la no good reason why every person who can read should not have a copy. The American Bible society Issues a copy of the Testament which It ells for five cents, and the demand for it Is so Itreat that it has ld to the issue of a thousand roples a day throughout the month of May. Burlington Ilawkeye. Notwithstanding the New Testament is so cheap the radical party continues lying and stealing just as if the good book cost $5 instead of a nickel. According to radical authority, radical office holders stole money enough in thirteen years to purchase 26.000,000,000 new testament, aud still Major Jona. "W, Gordon is willing to ran for the legislature on the radical ticket The rads are everywhere in a quandary. Tbey do not know wbat to indorse or what to reject EidicalUm is so intimately interwoven with scoundrelism that the party has to be content with dealing in platitudes. The Illinois platform of the rads is a case in point The Chicago Tribune attempts to excuss the timidity of the delegates by saying that ''The convention fore bore to meddle with 'national inter-party questions upon which thre are individual differences of opinion." This is commented upon by the New York Evening Tost as follows: It is the questions on which there is this individual diuerenceof opinion that moat interest tt)j country. On these questions it depends whether we are to have a civil service in which the Dennises and the Andersons can never hope to find sinecure position, aad whether the war is to be accepted as over and the demands of peace are to receive consideration. These individual differences of opinion which platform makers are afraid to recognize can not be ignored, and the time is coining when I hey will gain a hearing. That is so. The democratic party will force the fight from Maine to Oregon, and the rads will be compelled to face the music. At the late congressional convention held at Ma iison a few days ago one of the speakers delivered the following eulogy on John Sherman and his financial policy: ' Oar Indomitable secretary of the treasury is tbe target now for the abuse and venom of the democrats ami national, but hi name will be placed in history a oug side of that of Alexander Hamiltoa as the neeond preserver of our national crrdit God bless brave, Invincible John Hherman! tie Is planting the finances of Uie country uwi a foundation of rock, and projerlty to the people will result from it. The Madison Courier, the leading republican paper in the district, publishes this speech with commendation, and declares it to be "a key-note to the future." '.Governor Sexton was present when this eulogy on John , Sherman was pronounced. tpi4 13 be rcdae' no objection to it we take it for granted that the sentiments of the ' speaker correspond with his own. He therefore goes before the people of bis district

fully committed to the contraction policy of the secretary of the treasury, and as he voted at the last session against this policy, it is evidence that he has gone back on his record, and has determined henceforth to stand by his party and do all he can to make tbe rich richer and the poor poorer. The greenback men of the Fourth district will bave an opportunity in October of rebuking the Madison convention and its nominee. . Judge New, the democratic nominee, stands on the democratic state platform, and if elected will give his best efforts to devising ways and means for the people's relief.' The greenback men can vote for him without any sacrifice of principle, and they will do so if they are, as we take them to be, honest In their professions. It is evident that Governor Sexton and the republicans of the Fourth district fully indorse Ben Harrison's declaration that the graenbackera are idiots, and will aid the kid gloved leader in having an asylum built for their accommodation. The independents of the Fourth district should make a note of these things-

SUPPLY AND CONSUMPTION. The population of the United States is estimated at 45,000,000; some'place it as high as 50,000,000. Of this population it is estimated that the radical policy of contraction, shrinkage and bankruptcy has sent fully 5,000,000 willing workers into the ranks of idlers who are now not only not .earning wages, but are to a great extent a tax upon the charity of the country. Of all the curses that radicalism has inflicted upon the land, that which struck down its Industries and deprived willing workers of the means of support is doubtless the most far reaching in its devilish and dubious effects, and is well worthy of careful study. If tbe radical policy has thrown out of employment 5,000,000 of workers who were earning an average per diem of $1, the loss represents the annual sum of $1,500,000,000. If this curie has been going on for five years, then the grand aggregate of loas swells to the sum of $7,500,000,000. If these people have been prevented from earning that much money, they have also been prevented from spending it; and the amount vast as it is, represents only a sufficiency to meet the essential necessities of living. If, then, these people, unable to earn a livelihood, have been thrown upon the charities of the country, and such is the case for they have lived, then, instead of earning the cost of living, they have been a tax upon the country to the extent which if we placa their support at prison fare, such as criminals obtain in jails andenitentiaries, of $1,095,000,000 a year, and for five years the amount reaches the enormous sum of $5,475,000,000. With such a vast number of people out of employment and anable to purchase anything it is not surprising that there has been a large over supply of all descriptions of goods, wares and merchandise, and that business is dull and languishing; and it is safe to affirm that business can not revive to an extent of general prosperity until these people thrown out of employment by the accursed policy of the radical party are restored to employment It has been shown upon radical authority that the stealings of the party reached the enormous sum of $100,000,000 annually. It has been shown that under Grant every department of the government was debauched, and that thieves were his favorites and the chief supporters of his administration, and it has been shown that the radical party, ousted by the people by a majority of more than a quarter of million of votes, managed to retain possession of the government by frauds unparalleled and perjuries such as never before defied omnipotence. Still, with all these crimes resting upon it, the ruin which the party inflicted upon tbe business of the country, and for which tt will have to answer, outweighs them all, for it represents an increase of crime that it would be difficult to exaggerate, an increase of poverty that startles every observer, a shrinkage of values that is represented by billions, and a prostration of industries tbat has been felt in every community. It would be well for the people to consider the direct effect of the radical policy upon the subject of consumption. We have shown that the loss to the country in wages for five years amounts to the sum Of $7,500,000,000. This, at $1 per bushel, would purchase 7,500,000,000 bushels of wheat an amount equal to more than eighteen times the present crop of the country. It is difficult to grasp in all of its magnitude such a curse, and still the country has been compelled to endure it The loas to the country by throwing 5,000,000 people out of employment for ive years represents In hogs, at $12 each, 025.000,000 headequal to the slaughter, at tbe present rite, of 123 years. It represents at $50 per head, ICO.000,000 of beef cattle, enongb. to supply the world. We might extend indefinitely illustrations of the curta of radical rule, but enough has been written to set the people to thinking, and to demand with emphasis that the radical party shall be dismissed from power. UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. In the North American review for the current month, Mr. Francis Parkman has a paper upon universal suffrage in which he takes the ground that it is a failure. Mr. Parkman assumes that the failure is the result of a combination of causes, among which he gives special prominence to imrai. gration from the lower classes of Europe, tbe decay of political honesty, the decline of statesmanship, and the outgrowth of fraud and corruption in political affairs. It may be well enough o remark tbat the decay of political honesty, and the decline of statesmanship, and the outgrowth of fraud, commenced about the time that immigration from Europe dwindled to comparative insignificance, and tbe radical party took possession of the government. Prior to that period very little was heard of the failure of universal suffrage. The decline of political honesty and the appearance of political knavery commenced when the radical party obtained control of the government . Bat infamous as the party proved ' itself to be, it was not sufficiently potential to ' debauch the '' American people, or make universal suffrago a failure. This is shown by the fact that stato3 which had voted with the radicals abandoned the party and place! the national house of xepresenta-

tives in the bands of the democratic party. More: In the election of 1S7G the people, by a majority of more than a quarter of a million, declared for the democratic party, for honest government and elected Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks president and vice president This fact, standing alone In Its quiet grandeur, triumphantly vindicates the wisdom of universal suffrage and completely upsets all the fine spun theories of Mr. Parkman. It is a truth that can not be overthrown that the people are virtuous and honest and their abandonment of the radical party, when its dishonesty and treachery became known, demonstrates that universal suffrage is not only not a failure and not dangerous, but a tower of strength and the strongest safeguard of republican Institutions that can be devised. The antagonism to universal suffrage is the first outcropping of a purpose entertained by a few aristocratic galoots to change our form ot government and, if possible, hand it over to an aristocracy of money. There are those in every community who have no regard whatever for brain power, for intellectual culture, for integrity, or any other qualities of heal or heart that go to make up a qualified voter. They simply regard the dollar and cent qualification and none other. The men of toll, with bronzed brow and arm, are to be ostracised under the new dispensation, and only the rich, no matter whether they be knaves or idiots, are to enjoy the privilege of suffrage. But men of tbe Parkman style have commenced their work at too late a day. The ballot is in tbe hands of the people, and manhood suffrage will endure while the republic has a pillar or the right? of man a champion. The New York Evening Express. In commenting upon Mr. Parkman's superficial consideration of the subject of universal suffrage, says: The war had a vast deal to do In demoralizing the public sentiment and private conscience of the American people. It led to an enormous Inflation of the currency. It opened the door to unlimited speculation and Jobbery. It enabled a small number of people to get enormously rich by contracts for worthless articles It prepared the way for vast hubs Idles to corporations, to Credit Mobilier and other rings. The carpet-bag rnle in the couth was also a dlsinU-tcratiogand demoralizing force In our national and political life. The euormous ue of federal patronage for political ends, and of the military force- In elections, has also tended to degrade our politics and lower the type of our political character. When mere scallawsgs Ilk Hippie-Mitchell, and adven turerslike Spencer, and thieves like Patterson, and acrobat like Kellogg find their way Into the national senate In defiance of public sentiment, it Is proof enough that the dittieulty Is not. In the ballot-box, but behind it, in causes It U powerless at once to remove. Mr. Parkman and other croakers of his school forget tbat the old town system which was so beautiful In idea and so admirable In Its work lngs has been broken up, not by universal suffrage, but by the railroad, the steamboat, the electri&telegraph, theda'ly newspaper and the other inechiiii leal Inventlonsandsclentlricdlscoveries which have revolutionized our age and land. We are paying the price of the confusion wrjuzht by changes introduced by tbe most wonderful and characteristic achievements of the century. If these superficial ctoakers mast rail at something, let them attack the steam engine, which has done more to destroy the old New England of their idyllic dresms than auytbing else. Let them assail the col ton-gin and free the lightning. The truth is the country is too big for some people to comprehend in tho ght, much leas to embrace in their active sympathy. There are too many people to care for, too many interests to le protected, too many rights to be upheld. They would like a little seven-by-nine world all to tnemselves which they could manage in their own M ay and put safely under padlock every night. This Is nt the American way. The true hope of the future is in the people and all the people. The readjustment will come through tba co-operative efforts of all American citizens. The remedy for our political evils lies not in restrictions which are impossible, but in an Increase of popular power, and popular education, and popular self-respect. It is not in the political elimination of the many, but in their emancipation and elevt.t on, that the jath of safety and prosperity lies.

IMiTIES. POLICIES AKO PROBLEMS. During the progress of the political cam. paign now commenced the arraignment of parties will be a feature that will command the attention of the people. The policy pursued by the radical party will be exhaustively analyzed, and that which 'the democratic party has sought to inaugurate will not undergo a less critical inspection There was never a time in the history of the country when the problems to be solved were of a more important, of a more stubborn or of a more vital character. They underlie the peace, the .prosperity and the progress of the coantry. The issues will be clearly defined. Tbe lines will be drawn with the vividness of lightning; the struggle will be fierce. It will De remembered that at the close of the war and for nearly eight years thereafter tbe country was fabulously prosperous. During that period we heard nothing of over production, although production never reached grander aggregates. The labor market was not over supplied' work was plenty, wages were remunerative, the people were happy and prosperous, the outlook was cheering and the future was bright with promise; money was plenty. At this juncture the radical party, controlled by Shylocks, commenced its policy of contraction. It went steadily forward and culminated in 1873. Then failures commeLced, a panic set in, machinery was hushed, men and women were thrown out of employment, an army of idlers was created, and scenes of wide and wild devastation met the eye every where In. the country. . The radical party 'still held power, and held on with devilish tenacity to its policy of contraction. Failures increased, miseries untold were steadily augmented, but the radical party would not relax i:s grasp upon the throat of business, and the panic continued, and still exists. While the radical party was adhering to its policy of contraction, productive of shrinkage of values and universal prostration of business, it was stealing the revenues of the country at the rate of $100,000,000 annually. . In mousiDg over old records the Washington Post remarks that it "stumbled 'upon the report of the joint select commit'tee on retrenchment of which the Hon. 'Thomas A. Jenckcs, of Rhode Island, was 'chtarman, and which, after three years of 'exhaustive investigation of the civil service 'system, reported to congress in 1809, among 'many other interesting things, tbe following facts: 'One-third more officers are ap'pointed than are needed.' 'The Indians 'get but twenty cents out of every dollar that Is sent them.' "Out of $100,000,000 called 'for annually by our tax and tariff lawsbut $300,000,000 ever reach the public treaa-' 'ury.' Mr Jenckes ' adds: 'This is an 'immense fact; one dollar out of every four 'amounting to $100,000,000 e'ery year, is lost 'or stolen by the dishonesty or incompeten'cy o? officers of the civil service. This sum, 'if saved, would pay our national debt be'Xore It fails due, Our problem is o find

'men for the public service honest enough, 'faithful enough to seize that missing dollar, 'which In the course of every year swells to 'the enormous aggregate of $100,000,000, and 'cast it into the public treasury instead of 'letting it slip into the j pockets of corrupt 'officers in the civil service and their confederates.' The above is not the ex parte 'statement of a paid attorney, but is the language of the republican chairman of a congressional, joint select committee, 'and accompanies the report which he 'made to congress in I860. He makes 'no charge against the disposition 'made of this money after it has been placed 'on the books of the treasury, but states, in a 'word, that one dollar out of every four then 'called for by law never reaches the public 'treasury at all, but it is lost or stolen by 'radical office holders. If we now inquire 'what improvement the radicals bave made 'in the civil service since these facts were re'ported, tbe answer is only too plain, tbat 'there has been none whatever, and that this same corrupt system is to-day piling up the 'burdens under which the country baa been 'groaning for the past five years. Hence, we 'are justified in the assertion with which we 'set out, that $100,000,000 have been lost or 'stolen by radical office holders annually for 'the past thirteen years' Seeing all this, tc- people resolved to reinstate tbe democratic party and arrest the stealings of the radical party, and inaugurate a system of general reform. This has been accomplished to the extent possible under the circumstances. Stealing has been in a measure checked, a number of distinguished radical thieves have been compelled to disappear, and there has been an immense caving in the expenditures of the government "To appreciate the great 'charjge," says the New York Sun, "that has taken place since the house passed 'out of republican control, and DeGolyer 'Garfield and his confederates ceased to hold 'the purse Bt rings, a comparison between the 'appropriations made daring their rule and 'since then will tell the story most effectively 'and clearly. A period of three years of re

publican and of three years of democratic us'cendency will best represent each aide fair'ly, aud under similar conditions of peace, 'when public policy and duty to the taxpayers required the strictest retrenchment 'in every branch of tha public service. The 'table below gives the totals: APPROPRIATIONS FOR YEARS. Republican. 1S74. 175. 187H. tl.S9,E5,75W S1S1,3(1,787 117770,687 Democratic. 1877. 1878. 1879.

For example: The fishery award .... $ 5,500,000 Pensions to soldiers of 1872, dropped since IW 1,500,000 Half the sum voted to rivers and harbors, no bill having passed last year 4,150,000 New items and increaed grants for light houses, navy yards, public bu Idlngs, KiguaJ service, coast survey, life saving stations.

It has been shown that radical stealing has been arrested and the expenses of the government cut down. Two problems have been solved. The next is to so shape legislation that business will be revived, the idle set to work and an eara of prosperity inaugurated. This the democratic party, to the extent of its power, has sought to accomplish. First by the remonetization of tbe silver dollar, and second by the repeal of the resumption law. Tbe first has been accomplished, not however as democrats desired, but to the extent tbat a radical senate would permit The repeal of the resumption law was defeated by radicals, but the democrats defeated the radical purpose of further contracting the greenbacks, and to that extent advanced the welfare of the country. Tbe democracy of the coantry is ready for the campaign, and the people will see to it tbat the reforms commenced by the democratic party are not arrested by placing the national house of representatives under the control of the radical party. Jim. Jenks' Striped Storking. New Orleans Times. Whi'e Agaes Jenks was on the stand nothing could keep away the strong-minded women who correspond for New England newspapers. There waa always a dozen or so of them in the room taking notes. For three days he was cooped up in this place with Mrs. Jenks and other witnesses. Agnes was very extravagant One day when Dr. Mary Walker, a strong-minded fema'e, named Roberts, and two handsome Yankee literary girls were in the room, the Jenks said something she thought very funny, and was to overcome with it she flared btck, kicked up her heels and showed her striped stocklDgs. Forthwith out came the note books from the belts of the female journalists, and with eager pencils they took down this new display of her versatile talents.

A DEAD SHOT.

Dr. Carver's Wonderful Feat with Rifle, N. Y. Times, 6th.l Dr. W. F. Carver, the man who can put a bullet through a silver quarter while the coin is flying through tbe air, is an enlarged and revised edition of Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack. Being fresh from tbe bioad plains of tbe untrammeled west he has the delightful air of unconventionally to be found only in the land of the setting sun. A pale-face, to him, is an object of pity. The aboriginal in habitant ot tbe primeval forest is his prey. He most cote on blood; and be can bring it out of a wasp's wing at 40 yards. It is natural that Dr. Carver should follow the example set by former warriors who have blaz'd tbeir way to New York, and come eastward in a costume (presumably tbe hunting costume of the plains) that is never worn by anybody but east side boys who have resolved to be trappers, and who seldom get farther than a police station; and a costume tbat would be worn out with a night of forest travel or fall to pieces in the midst of one of the terrific encounters in which western hunters are constantly engaging. His make up is so much like that of Texas Jack that we can a most imagine him sending a postal card to that gentleman from the west asking, "How's things in New York?" and Jack replying, "Good; but you must wear a broad brim, and put it on thick." The lotig hunting hair, tae velvet shirt and the wild expression, as of a man constantly battling with wild beasts, are all there. Nevertheless, Dr. Carver is, no doubt the best 6hort range marksman in tbe world. He gave his second exhibition at Deerfoot park yesrerday, and . astonished everybody who saw him. He is as fine a specimen of fully developed manhood as ever walked on Manhattan island Mote than six feet high, every part of his body is built to correspond. His chest is so deep that it would face a powerful rifle to send a ball through it His shoulders are broad and high, and, altogether, he is exactly the man that ordinary people wouldn't put themselves out of the way to pick a quarrel with. iashicn articles for the use of hunters are very rarely ever seen in the newspapers, and a description of Dr. Carver's costume may be of interest on the plains. He wore yesterday a light felt hat large, witb a brim at Iea.-t four inches wide. Around his neck was a silk handkerchief, blue and brown, loosely knotted. It was not until this handkerchief was removed or blown aside by the wind tbat the garment known by impolite people as the undershirt coald be fecn. The part of this that exhibited itself about the neck showed it to be made of white linen netting like a fisherman's net, only with a finer mesh, as if made to catch minnows. Over this was the black velvet shirt or jacket, very short. Gray pantaloons and button gaiters completed the outfit, with tbe exception of a second silk handkerchief, protruding from the back pocket of the pantaloons, and a fine buckskin glove on each hand. His only jewelry wss a gold watch chain, that might be us?d to advantage in drawing some of the great trees of tbe Yoseruite, with a large charm, a silver coin, with a hole shot through it In this garb he carried on a relentless war against hundreds of unoffending glass balls yesterday afternoon. The tcene of yesterday's shooting is worthy of description. A small wooden shed, with a bar in one corner; in front of this a table, on which were four rifles, several boxes of cartridges and half a dozen score books. Fifteen or 20 feet in front of this, again, a barrel and a msn, tha man taking the glass tails out of the barrel and throwing them in the air, and Dr. Carver breaking them with the bullets as fast as they appeared. Somebody was always at work loading a rifle. The marksman could fire them faster than the loaders could load. And they were the most remarkable rifles breech loaders, of course. When they were opened at the end one cartridge was shoved in after another till it Beemed as if the first one must surely be somewhere up by the muizle. Dr. Carver'a costume has nothing to do with bis marksmanship, and his shooting is strictly business. He seldom misses what he fires at Most of the time was taken up in shooting glass balls filled wich feathers. The balls were of the thinnest filim of glass, slightly tinted so as to be seen easily In the air, and when they broke the feathers scattered in every direction. The balls were thrown about 20 feet into the air and the marksman was not more than 15 yards from them at any time. It was noticeable that the Bhot was invariably fired just as the up ward impetus of the glass ball ceased and it wasalioutto begin its fall. This close glass ball shooting did not give the idea of re markabla sk 11, probably on account of the shori distance, even though the average was nine hits out of every ten. It looked Much more wonderful when the assistant threw tbe glass balls as far as be could and Dr. Carver broke each one as it flew, the distance being not less than 100 yards. Several coins were shot straight through the center as they whirled in the air. Oa- of the most astoundiog of Dr. Carver's feats was his hitting a bell metil ball when it was almost out of sight, up in the air. The ball is so made that when the ballet strikes it, it rings like a small gong. The assistant threw this ball many times as high as be could throw it, till, sometimes, it could hardly be seen, bat every time the marksman brought the souod out of it. He also cut in two ail the lead pencils he could induce tbe siectator8 to throw into the air. and he fired successfully at a large number of unused cartridges. When tbe assistant threw two glass balls ud at the same time the rifleman, with a double barrel weapon, first broke one and then the other without making a single failure. Th9 two requisites for good shooting are, of course, an immovable rest for tha gunhtock and a steady hand and arm for tbe barrel. The secret of Dr. Carver'a wonderful marksmanship may be in bis immense and perfectly balanced body, which stands firm as a rock. With a steady hand also, such a man may do almost incomprehensible thine: with a good rifle. His body stems able to withstand any attacks of nervousness, yet when he misses a shot be is very likely to miss the two or three succeeding ones, a sure sign tat the miss flurries him. Another of his peculiarities is that be aims with both eyes open so lhat he can keep an eye on the I odious, he says, while he is firing at a buffalo, v Dr. Carver's shooting has astonished New York. Nothing to equal it has ever been seen here before. Whether or not he would be able to cope with some ot the Creed mor marksmen, on their long ranges, is an interesting question. Benjamin Duller Talks. The demonstration of the greenbackers at Neu bury port, Mass., on the 4th was attended by fully 2,000 persons, who were enthusiastic General B. F. Butler delivered the principal address. He said: "More than 100 jears ago our fathers fonnd it necessary to u aite to protect against wrong and oppression, to disenthrall themselves from tbe measures of one king and his ministers. Their children meet on tbe same anniversary to see whether tbey miy not disenthrall themselves from the oppressions of a thousand kings and their ministers the money kin.;s the most powerful .monarchs In the world to-day.

Why is it that in a land where, in the east, the storehouses are bursting with the products of manufacturing industry, and in tbe west the granaries are overflowing with the necessaries of life, there being perfect communication between those seo ions, there are men hungry in the east for the food that, is in the west, and men Bal ed in the west for want of clothes and shoes in the east? - The evil that causes this can not be reached by sporadic riots and violence. The starving men who made the riots of last summer efiecled no alleviation of the

public misery. Strikes are below the dignity of American workingmen. They belong to another country and to other institutions' than ours. Onr remedy Is the ballot 'Communist' is tbe word of reproach applied to workingmen who see wrong in existing; affairs and believe in remedying them, as 'abolitionist' was the word of reproach, hurled at the men who struck for freedom in the earlier aays of this generation. The same men wbo called tbe reformers of other days abolitionists are calling the reformers of to-day communists. Communism in Europe is the desperate protest of the downtrodden and oppressed, and finds its vent in violent demonstrations and vain endeavors. Here such a course is unnatural. Our people have in their own hands the power to mold their condition. All they need is unity and organization and thev will control. The legislation of our land hss for many years been exclusively in the interest of the rich and the few. Because these few were rich, consequently powerful and united In purpose, tbey send their representar.yes to make laws by the aid of the votes of the betrayed people. Seven years aeo I introduced a bill to have the money of the country in the lismta of the rovernment and not in the handsof corporations, and I wss beatea by eight votes, if I remember aright, in tbe house. But in the majority that beat me there wera more than sixty-five bank directors and presidents, each of them toting in his own interest all sent there by workingmen's votes. You workiogmen do not send men to ret. resent you." Mr. Butler then reviewed at length the circumstances under which in the hour of national necessity, tbe greenback came into being, and the means by which capitalists, when it was at its lowest value, were enabled to convert it into interest bearing and nontaxable bonds, together with other special legislation for the benefit of tbe capitalists since that time, the formation of nstional banks, ete., all tending to undue inflation of the wealth of the rich, and tbe shifting of all the burdens of taxation on the poor. He protested against being called a repndialor, saying that although the bargain with the capitalists was an infamous one, we were fools enough to send men to congress who would make it and we should pay the penalty by making good their agreement From this he proceeded to consider the peculiar course of legislation in Massachusetts affecting ber savings banks. Then he said: "I hold tnat every man who has an honest employment in which be gives the best thoughts of his mind, or the best labor of his hands to earn support for his children and himself, is a laboring man, a working man. The man who, by tbe exertions of his father, or some other relative, has inherited wealth, and who does no work beyond clipit)g coupons from bonds to be paid by taxes evied on workingmen, I call a capitalist Do you say there are no such men? There are plenty of them. Let me give you an illustration of them. Ttere s in New York a club called the Tally-ho club. It is composed of, I can hardly guess how many members, because they never invited me to any of tbeii entertainments, but I think they have ten, four and six horse teams, coaches, and they drive them on the high road between two paladal hotels, with a tine looking man set up behind the coach with a tin horn, or, in this case, I believe it is a brass bugle, for what? And who are they? They arc all young men of great wealth, of great literary cultcre, all graduates of colleges all men who bave no other employment on earth but to spend the income of their inherited wealth. And all they can find to do is to play coachman day by day for tbe fun of the thing. They toil not, neither do they spin; they are men of a class tbat is growing in this country, and they are, in my judgment a class that ought to be squelched. Applause. They are men that have nothing to do on earth, and do it every day. Every man in this country should have some regular, steady employment, for the good of his fellow men, and the more money a man has the greater is bis responsibility for the proper employment of that money in some industrial or other enterprise for the good of his race, and for the men who do not do that the workingmen ought to vote to bring about a law to make them do it. If I bad my way, if I had the power in the city of New York, as I ooce had lor a short time, I would set that class of men to doing exactly what they have shown they are fit for, driving Broad way omnibuses from 6 in the morning to 9 at night, so that they should have enough of playing coachmen." The general a'so reviewed at length the history of the continental money of this country, tracing the cause of its decline in value. He repudiated the term of inflationist and said of the opponents of the greenback party: "They are willing to sell all the bonds and subsidize all the railroads, and do everything else that can be done with money obtained on Interest bearing bonds of the United States. My proposition is

iuai we saouia issue aiu.uw.ijuo in noninterest bearing bonds of the United States to settle the unemployed laboring men of the United States upon the public lands of ine united states." itireat applause. No more notes of the United States could be issued, he went on to say, than the peoy pie cnoee 10 take, and it they bear no inte est tuose which are issued involve the cov try in no debt. Defining a greenbackeri saw: ,ii you hod a man in the commui that goes for the good of the nation ae apl a lew, mat man is a greenbacker; if yo . a man that wants just legislation anr for the interests of the workingmen labor, that man is a greenbacker. . - u:-u 5 i - it-rui wuicu covers eyeryming jusi and 03 the word abolitionist once covered I man in favor of human freedom, ft n - m v m " una a man mat wants special leges, mat wants to live on the earning! others, mat wants to get an advantage his neighbor, that wants others to pav taxes, that man. is not a greenbacker.

Ai ii you as so, yoa ana your children, ail your children s children, and mine, will fii themselves slaves to the few in tbe worst governments, an aristocracy." A lleligioas View. The Interior. The price of silver continues to declinl our legal tender dollar now only being worti h cents, l he debased money is rejected far as possible, and of the $8,000,000 coined only about $1,500,000 has gone into circuk tion. It is returned to the United States treasury in payment of duties. Bv the 1st of January next there will be $20,000,000 of 1 this coin ready for use. What will follow it , is iot oimcult to see. If the process of coin ing and of efforts to force circulation pr ceed, the greenbacks will recede in value to the value of the silver dollar, and gold will advance to a corresponding premium. This change of the measure of valnes is what is desired by a large number, thereby enabling the debtor class to cancel tbeir obligations with less than the valne which they have promised to pay. m s. A Bewildered Barber. A young man with a rrsglle moustache went into a crockery store and said to tbe proprietor: "A moustache cup, please." "Certainly, sir," responded the proprietor, with alacrity: "what style does he prefer?'' "It's for myself," responded the young man, frowning slightly. "Eh?" exclaimed the proprietor, in great surprise, staring at th customer. "I want it for myself," repeated , the young man sharply. The proprietor ' turned away in a dazed manner, and in his excessive bewilderment he handed down a gilt edged cup, bearing the Inscription, "To my child." The youDg man looked at it in a tone of speechless asioaishment, and shot out the door.
