Wo read wSUi amazement and alarm of tho terrific c? lMuitlof rit!i'l by earthquake, when eitl dhMtppfarimd wholi rumtiiHiiSliiis are swalhnwd up. Tho fcUecls of the nnen power mo .-eon mid felt, tint Sotthmtted, and the people Mibinil, ho:aui tbev bin not it forth any coti-

tnnttjr power. Hut no earthquake 01

modern timo has been as destructive, of

.property n. the' radical cnro oi contraction, tho pefrursc of.lohn Sherman and radical predecessors". 1 1 in lite ,tryehuin of oudm.; it kills' kills certainly, .kills with awful distortions and cramps. And tjll the radical doetors proscribe .contraction ; and .still the work of busl.ue?s death rocs on. This horid practice nvns commenced in 1805. The rich deuuundit. The country was reeuperatin:. Business was brik and prosperous. !- tthMtrie were active, and tho people

were employed. Then commenced tin! 4 cry of contraction ! " resumption ! '

hard mouev I " honest money I ami

. .o on through the whole vocabulary of

financial dap-trap. But the rich pre

railed. Laws were enacted and laws

repealed. The poison of contraction was

dealt out with a liberal band ami ruin was the result, and still the financial

. quacks and knaves demand more strych

nine, more paralysis, more cramps, more

JUlhire, more death.and the horrid dance

went u. Factories were hushed as it crushed by thunderboltsv Active business men stood still aud saw their means disappear without the power to arret the work of destruction. Failures multiplied by thousands and tens of thousands until the sum total of the losses since the work of contraction commenced exceeds $l,50e,000,000. Not content with this John Sherman' ixdicy

demands still more contraction, the

bondholders demand contraction, tin? moHcr sharks demand contraction, and

Jelrn Sherman bows to these demands, and contraction goes forward. It has

been shewn frem the most reliable data

that from 18H-1 to 1877 that cowtraciicw

reackel the enormous sum of $1,314,-

03.09 i and ithu been tiwu that bus

incs laiinics irom ia4 to uiy i. ist . reached a sum exceeding 1 1,500.000.000.

It wonld mm that, with this terrible array of fact?, the friends of contraction,, aad, at the same time, the deadliest foc of business prpcritv ought to be satistied. Not nt all, The cancerous curse k Ftill sendin-r it fibrous roots down deeper into the business heart of the country. We hare said that It is a difficult matter to grasp tho mapiitudc of the direct losses the country has sustained bv con

traction. A few illustrations may help

somewuatia forming a just estimate oi the care. The direct losses by bank

rupts since 13W. when contraction comweaced, exceed $1,500,000,000. This

sum, in 1 bills, wohIiI make a pile 1 IS mile hi'h, or, in $u bill?, a pile 35 mile

litgli. in this way has rtulical financier-

lag piled up mislortuae?. bupposnty

'tie seranti snm total of tlie losses uns

tained by bankruptcy feince contraction

commenced its withering, blighting ef

fects npen budneis to be in silver dollars it would b represented by 40,870 tons of silver coin, and still wc have but

a peer idea af the crushing weight ofl

the curse. Supposing a railroad freight

car to carry ten tons, tho bankrupt lo&cs

to the conntry since l&tl would require 4,637 cars, forming: a train of about thirty miles in length. Think of ita train Hretchin? away through forest- and

Held thirty miles, bearing the burden of

the great financial curse. Again, the

losses sustained bv the country bv bank

runtcy since the curse of contraction

commenced exceed the snm of $1,500,009,000. Taking the sum of $0,000,000

as the assessable wealth ot Indianapolis

we have the fact that contraction has

absolutely swallowed up eighteen cities

ot tne size and wealth t Indianapolis.

-no eartnqtiak-e, cyclone or tuial wave

ever accomplished such destruction

lint ajfain. The assessed wealth of Indiana in 1875 was set down at $355,634,130, but Kssuiniug tlwit it is over $900,-

000,000 then we have as the result e

radical management of the finances of

the country, and John Sherman's pet

cn. je ot contraction the destruction o

'.the entire assessable wealth of the state,

with $tmooa0GO over, enough t oblit
