- NOTES BY THE WAYSIDE. P BY ALEXIS. To the Editor.of the N;;i-:)'-r;al Bann‘er: We left home on the 7th inst., after having provided ourself with a livery rig such as but few places except Rome City can furnish. Passing through Brimfield, and seeing nothing worthy of noté, except Esq. G. W. Cosper, who seemed to be busy supplying. the wants of his customers, and the inevitable “Squire” who has recently ceased to furnish locals for the Kendallyille Standard, and who, by the way, is not yet smoked out, we lllgr—‘ ried on and soon arrived at the village of | L WAWAKAL ~ This young and thriving village now seems a little dull. S.P, Van-' Aikin, Esq., and John F. Knepper, the “merchant king” of that place, were found at their posts, attending strictly“ to duty. Finding nothing “here to cause us to delay, we proceeded w‘]

: o LIGONIER, .| the city of the “New Jerusalem” and the birth-place of the NATIONAL BANNER. Here , we, “called from labor to refreshments,” took dinner and had our noble steed cared for by Sile Shobe, the horses’ friend and livery man of ancient notoriety. Having thus refreshed and regaled ourselves,weagain moved westward and soon fpund ourselves within the limits of the village of : ' ' _ _ MILLERSBURG. ; At this point the Canada Southern Railroad crosses the Air Line branch of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern (i.e, in the imagination). Here we discovered quite a group ofipeople assembled in front of a neatly-painted building and weré, foreibly impressed that there was in progress a political meeting, an election, or _something of the kind. But upon inquiry we were informed that Itt was only a place where a permit had beed granted under the Baxter law. We found the business men of this i)}zlce somewhat excited in consequence of the grain buyers of Ligoniér 'h_fwii]g proeured a reduction of freights by which they could beat the Millershurg merchants from one to two cents per bushel on the price of wheat. After a short stay 'in this 'plglée, we - pursued our journey westward and in a very short time found ourselves at the once brisk and lively, but now rather dull, vil: lage of BENTON. Benton is another imaginary point on the Canada Southern road and is a beautiful site for a town. Benton has one live business house, to-wit: the Banta Bro’s, who have energy, business and capital enough to do credit to a much larger place, but if anything before the resurrection of the dead ever does revive BFnton, it will be the building of the Canada Southern Railroad. From this point we pursied a north-westerly direction and in due time arrived at the aristocratic young city of £

GOSHEN. , Here we found the Circuit Court in session and, of course, a 131‘ge number of visitors from all parts of Elkhart county. We met here the vigorous and eflicient young Prosecutor, W. C. Glasgow, Esq., of Lagrange, who generously permittedus to glance over his miniature Criminal docket, where we found on record over one hundred and twenty cases, to be tried or otherwise disposed ¢f during the term. We readily arrived at the conclusion that the people of Elkhart county must be a very wicked and perverse people, otherwise they must have very efficient officers to bring their criminals to justice and execute the law. Elkhart county ‘has perhaps the best courthouse in Northern Indidna, to which many of the tax-payers are at any moment ready to testify. Goshen once boasted of the ablest bar in Northern Indiana, but now W. A. Woods is on the bench, A. S. Blake has left for the benefit of his health, and if John H. Baker succeeds in’getting to Congress, and had J. A. S. Mitchell been chosen "Attorney-General for the State, it certainly would have left the Goshen bar in very moderate circumstances. At this city we stayed over night, then pursued our journey in a northerly direction to the beautiful little village of . . ' } 4 MIDDLEBURY. - This village is situated in the midst of a rich and fertile country and isa very enterprising and beautiful village. The business houses as well as the business men are mostly of the old style, bmt business is in a very healthy condition and everything here looks thrifty and prosperous. This town has no railroad and at present carés but little about one, as they seem to be enjoying very good health without that Juxury. From this town we pursued our journey northward, passing Middlebury Station, to = . i ; MOTTVILLE, , in the State of Michigan. = This town is gituated on the St. Joseph river, an equal distance from Constantine and White Pigeon. This place has evidently seen its best days, and in a ‘measure its glory has departed: From this village we changed our ‘course and moved south. Six miles travel brought us to the once flourishing but now dilapidated village of = . LA EEEROR. ~ Of this place we have nothing to | igay particularly worthy of note, ex~cept that it is quite a point for the ‘shipment of fruit, A large'quantity of peaches and grapes aro. shipped from this place annually to iyﬁkﬂll -parts of the country. Six stores are t:h‘ere, struggling for life, but how long ‘they will be able to hold out depends

something upon Divine Providence. From this place we wended our way through sands, not unlike those of the great Sahara Desert, back to Goshen, from whence wedirected our course to

' WAEKARUSA, : the “county seat” of Olive township, in Elkhart county. At this place we found the people complaining severely of hard times. Many, from necessity or some other cause, are compelled to go barefooted. We found many persons busily engaged in holding down store-boxes and discussing politics.— We learned here that Olive township is the strongest republican township in‘the State, that is, in proportion to its population, and some of the knéwing ones claim that even this stronghold will give a majority for the People’s ticket this year. From here we directed our course due south, and in an hour and thirty minutes we arrived at

s T LOURE, or Locketown. This town is the seat of justice of Locke Yownship, Elkhart county, and is pretty much away from every place and everybody. ' It has no railroad and not much prospect of anything else. If any traveling man should ever make it convenient to stay over Sunday in Locke, he will of course stop at the “Ecce Homo,” as it is the only public house in the place, but we don’t think he will be likely to ever want to repeat the experiment. In our opinion the best thing that could be done with Locke would be to fence it in and appoint a committee to keep down the dog-fennel and gympson weeds. From Locke we proceeded in an easterly direction to

: : MILFORD, in Kosciusko county. This town shows evidences of having seen better days. Within its borders are to be found some live business men, among ‘whom may be noted, Miles Bentford & Co., Mart. Felkner, Dr. Levi Keehn, and others. At this point may be found Ligonier’s favorite son, Dr. Jno. Paul Smith, who is acting as express agent and telegraph operator. leaving Milford, a short drive brought us in full view of the once diminutive but now exalted town of 7 ~ : S¥pAousE This miniature city is now situated on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and is the imaginary point at which extensive machine shops are to be erected. The citizens of Syracuse now think that the grandeur and majesty of their young cif:y is only equalled and not surpassed by Chicago or New York. At this place we met our old and much esteemed friend, Dr. D. C. Kelley, under whose supervision, and that of his estimable lady, we were dined upon the delicious frog and other delicacies of the season. From the Doctor we got the first news from the aemocratic-liberal convention at Kendallville. Heseemed considerably elated over the congressional nomination and was much pleased with the resolution demanding a reduction of the President’s salary. But his lip fell when we informed him that Grant would veto that in less than a week. There is considerable sickness in and about this place, and the Doctor, with his professional duties and a little sprinkling of politics, is kept quite busy. From this place we visited

LEESBURG. v It being our first visit to this town, we were agreeably surprised to find a lively little burg, which had heretofore by us been very much under-esti-mated. TFrom here we struck due south and soon found ourself in the metropolis of Koseciusko eounty. . WARSAW is a very lively young city and was once noted for its street railway. But that institution, like its once famous projector and builder (the ITon. Billy Williams), has passed into obscurity. This place has had in the past, and is still receiving, its full share of political honors. It was the home of the lamented Billy Williams when in the height of his glory and is now the abiding place of Judge Frazer, George Moon, and other persons of great notoriety. Leaving Warsaw, we took our journey southward through the wilderness, and in a few hours arrived at : " SILVER LAKE, a small town which derives its name from a beautiful lake upon whose shore it is pleasantly located, Silver Lake boasts of a large amount of business for a town of its size. This place has four dry goods stores, two hotels, the principal one being run by the immortal O. B. Turner This place is noted for its fruits and melons, one person in this vicinity alone raising as much as athousand bushels of peaches. Taking a south-easterly course from this place we proceeded zig-zag twelve miles and arrived at North Manchester, in Wabash county, where we concluded to stay over Sunday. - , : - ‘ NORTH MANCHESTER is situated on Eel river, where the Detroit and Eel River railroad is cressed by the Cincinnati, Wabash and Lake Mich. R. R. It is a lively town of about- 1,600 inhabitants and does . a large business in a mercantile point of view. At the American House in this place we found “Old father Grimes, that good old man” who used to live in Millersburg. Mr. G. knows how to keep a hotel and how to make his guests comfortable. ~ The American is a very comfortable and conve-' nient place for a traveling man to pass a Sunday. From this point we proceeded up the river, passing Liberty Mills and Callamer, and in due bime arrivedat . 0 Y SeUeRNIRARY. | o - Here we found our old friend, Dr. J.R. '-'B’a"&‘r, who was in the campaign

of ’72 temporary editor of the BANNER, but is now engaged in the practice of medicine.. The Doctor ‘has, however, taken a short respite from his professional duties and is now “stumping” his (Whitley) county for the People’s_ ticket. The Doctor is making telling speeches, and it'is believed that the People’s ticket will carry by several hundred “majority._——The Doctor lias lost none of his original political zeal, and, although he 18 a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, he is determined not to be a slave to any party or ring which is trying to keep, up old party prejudices for their own advantage. We wish the Doctor in his new sphere abundant success, which certainly awaits him. -From South Whitley we took a north-westerly directicn and twelve miles further bro’t us to : e PIERCETON, S where we stobped over night. This town has the appearance of retrogression. The sidewalks are in a miserable condition. The once flourishing woolen mill, with all her machinery, is now - destitute. and rotting to the ground. There is evidently not that life and bustle in this place that there were in times past. Taking a westward course, we passed through the village of Larwill and in due time arrived at the county seat of Whitley; coul}ty-, 5 : S COLUMBIA CITY. ay

We had but a short time to tarry here. We found the Circuit Court in session, with Judge Lowry in all his legal and ancient glory. The Judge is very.calm in polities, having no aspirations for Congress. We visited the oftice: of the Commercial and found the gentlemanly editor at his post of honor, zealously engaged in the cause of the People’s ticket. In passing many public points in this county we noticed flaming hand bill giving notice of People’s meetings, announcing that “Dr. J. R. Baker, and others” would address the people. We f e_ef justified in venturing the assertion that Whitley, as well as Elkhart county, will give a liberal and, decided maJority for the People’s ticket. From Columbia City we took the zig-zag road in a north-easterly direction to the village of . 1 i CHURUBUSCO, ) in the corner of Whitley gnd near our own county line. This is how a lively, energetic little village, but on account of the low price of\whent the business men generally have the “blues,” and imitating their neighbors on Eel river, and the Wabash, a few of them have the ague. Churubusco will come out all right when the price of wheat raises and the nights get cool and frosty. TFrom here we wended our way to Noblesville, Wolf Lake and Port Mitchell—towns *once of some notoriety, but since the removal of Hon. D. S. Scott to Ligonier, and the death of I B. White of the latter place, these villages have well nigh passed into ancient history. Arriving at the southern suburbs of el

: - ALBION, S the county seat now (well defined) of our own beloved NOBLE county, we found the streets completely blockaded by the construction train of the B. & O. railroad. We waited a few minutes for the train to move out of the way (in vain) and then inquired how long we would be obliged to wait. We were informed that the road had been thus obstructed for four hours and would probably remain so until evening. We procured the services of three men who happened to be near to assist us in carrying huggy and assisting our horse through a gap without serious injury. But weinsist that if the people of Albion submit to such outrages as this on the part of the B. & O, or any other railroad, why then the county seat ought to be removed to some other point. . We hope the authorities will see to 'it that these things are not repeated. Arriving safely at home we found everything in commotion over the Republican convention on Saturday, the result of which ‘your readers are now aware of, and the final result of which will be announced on the 13th day of October, for which result we will patiently await and abide owt time.

THE FINANCE QUESTION. MRE. F. W. STRAUS’ POSITION RE/ e VIEWED. . Arguments of a Paper Money .Ad\"t;,-_ : cate. TN e ANGOLA, IND., Sept. 23d, 1874. To the Editor of the NaTioxar, BANNER: o Dear Sir :—Please allow me to eriticise Mr. F. W. Straus’ position on finance, as found in the BANNER of the 17th inst. But before noticing said position, let me lay down a few axioms from which we may the ‘better comprehend our meaning." That as a nation must have water under her vessels or she ¢an’t sail them, and as she must have car wheels under her car trains or she.can not railroad it; so she must also have money under her trade and comimerce or she cannot have any trade or commerce. Of the water, a nation must seek it where it is‘to utilize it. The car 'wheels she must either make or purchase of others who have them-for sale. And just so with regard to her money. A nation, to possess herself of money, must either make it or buy it of those who have it for sale. St

All will agree thatif a nation should positively insist upon making her car wheels of ¢ material which cost as much more than iron, as.gold does over paper, when it was known that iron filled the purpose,—i. e.,, made better car wheels than this céstly material could—the same as it is well known that paper money is more convenient in its use than coin, besides it aetually “costs only; about the one thousandth 'part of what coin does, and yet all the coin advocates insist positively, as does Mr. F, W. Straus, that this nation must have coin or its eqfiiy :ient in paper, cost whatever it may. Such ; nation making it a sine quo non that that said costly , material must be bought to'make hiér car wheels, would: be regarded as a nation of fools. Money is the work of the mechanic acting in concert with instrructions under the law of his nation. And if the said nation insists upon it, that said mechanic must make its- money by stamping its seafi.o'r ingignia upon a certain number of grains of gold or silver, cost what it may, they -who have the gold and silver to sell will charge for the same all they may suppose the party wishing to purchase may be made to pay. If bullion were so plenty that this nation could make ; her money by stamping her seal or insignia upon’a solid cube of gold ten inches square, and by her laws declare that to-be a unit of her money,—one “dollar,—and could make as many of such dollars as shé‘nvow' could by stamping her seal on a piece of paper, and by her laws make that her money, - would Mr. Straus still ’ix‘lsist that this ‘nation should make —i. e., manufaicture or purch'asl‘é her money of coin at: a cost of one thousand times as muchy more than what paper money ‘would cost? DBut, says :I\E."Sti'aus, gold can not be had in so gr?é’at abundance, and therefore such supposition falls to the ground. And this answer gives us to understand that Mr. Straus insists that bullion must be had, knowing it cannot be got; and he does this on ‘purpose to obtain the results which: | must come of making such selection of coin whicl could not be purchased! It will do this, to ‘wit: give to those who have coin an opportunity to sell what they have at a price far above what t}l@y could have sold it had the nation or nations not have determined to have eoin or no money! - : Mr. Straus knows that money is the creation of thelaw of the nation making it, and whether it costs one penny or ene thousand pennies to.make a .dollar. If there were actually no demand for either there: would be no value in either.. e knows the value of either does not depénd in the least upon their cost. But it ‘does " depend upon the excess of demand for it over and above the supply of either! . Ile also knows that if he and the capital“ists can make the people believe there is value in coin in the ratio of its cost, in order to have it very valuable, it must’ be costly. And herein lies the real reason which moves capitalists, and we doubt not Mr. Straus also, to ~choose that Americans shall decide to have coin, the only legal tender in money they shall have. To obtain it they who bear the burthen of paying the nation’s bill for furnishing it in _coin, will have one thoufand times as much more to pay! for itthan they would have to pay if the nation elected to make greenbacks herlawful mgney. Now apply these axiomatic principles in testing Mr. Straus’ advice as found in the BANNER. If his cashier should make a contract with a party in which ‘he had obligated Mr. S. to pay a large sum of money in greenbacks, but before the debt had been paid, for obvi~ous reasons, under the heading that he wanted to enhance the credit of Mr: Straus, he agrees to pay said debt in ‘coin, and that without any additional consideration, would Mr. S. regard it in the light which he says the nation is in, in regard to the payment of the 5-20 bonds ? or will he say that makés “your bull gore my ox?? o, . Tought to have said that therenever was a nation which' has ever made any provision whatever to “redeemits money,” 4. e, its. lgga’l\ tji;iqers, as that only isfts money,” ;g

In regard to the prices of imported goods being “made on a gold basis,” we have simply to say: That is all bosh! and we can prove it. If importers pay a price in foreign doun-' tries to which the freight and impost duties added shall make a sum below what the demand for said goods in this country is, then they can make a \ £ L 2 i .

profit on such transaction. But if that sum be above said demand in : this country, they will lose on it; no matter how they reckoned the gold valuation. And he who affirms that the importer can pay any price for his goods in foreign comntries and them add the fyeights and i;npést duties, and also Kis profit of say ten, twenty, thirty oxffifty per cent., and sell his goods hed¥e because he reckoned them “apon a gold basis,” is simply ignorant of the business. And if he is able to make the experiment on 'a scadle commensurate with his capital, he will find (unless he buys, as any good business man would, at a price below what his stuff can be sold for here) he will lose what capital he invests, or perhaps more. Again, if he could buy at one-thousandth part of what the goods actually cost to manufacture them, and could have freight free and - no duties to pay, he still would sell them upon the rule I have laid down above, 7. e, at the highest figures he could; find arising from the demand for them. - And no matter about the “gold basis.” - If our people wished really to have the market in which to sell our products removed as far from : the place of their production as possible, so that it would cost those who raised or manufactured stuff to sell | would be compelled to pay the highest possible freights, then Free Trade, which claims to make markets for our stuffs in Europe, would accomplish that very point. Bubiif they wished to haye their markets as near the place of production as possible, so the cost of freights would be light, let . ‘some go-to one calling and some to another:in this country, where they would mutually help each other and save. the transportation to foreign countries. -Any intelligent person can see that a good Vfarn} would save - to the owner the cost of freights which have to be paid by farmers liv- | ing at a great distance from market. It seems. to me plain that if England could only get America to adopt Free Trade, that would savé her all the duties she would .pay when duties were demanded by our government. - Because, whether goods cost much or little, they who sell are: compelled to be regulated by the demand™ . and supply —the demand which alone gives valug, and supply always; ¢.e., if it be large, counteracting or neutralizing the demand or value made by the demand. This is so plain that the wayfaring can see it. One thing more, and" that is: The- - always state a proposition ' which they wish the people to adopt, = and affirm that that proposition is best for the country and nation to adopt, because it gives capitalists the advantage over the great body of the working masses. In proof of this, I will cite you to every measure they ever did recommend. They hold the world’s ‘ gold, and they want that, and that . alone, to constitute the sum total of all the legal' money any and all the nations shall make. Because they ' know that then the demand for gold, or lawful money, will exceed the actual supply of money; that they can i command any sum for their coni that ‘any and all the nations can pay. And this is the bottom and top of the rea- | son why capitalists desire the nations . to maintain “specie payments.” They can enlist the public press in any and all countries for pittance of what they will make in case their measure is ‘adopted. ILet the press be compelled to face the music to which they will - be called to dance, when the! masses comprehend the faet, that as the late L slave-holders maintained slavery that they might thereby be enabled to appropriate to their own use the labor of the slaves, so capitalists desire all nations to maintain “specie payments” ‘that they may thereby ap'}’)ropri:_ttq to | their own use the labor of the toiling - ‘millions of all nations and countries - during all time. : . The Hon. Geo. S. Boutwell says, “the debt of the civilized governments of - the world whose financial condition.is knewn is $23,000,000,000.” And will any honest person.deny that thisis the result of the financial policy they adopted? Results are the objects for which policies are adopted. | A Now tell how many men and women it will take hard at work constantly ‘to pay the annual. interest at six per cent. per annum on this sum. | And let them tell, if they dare, how much ‘coin will be left in all these nations each year after the interest is paid. Of course it wlll be denied if I tell thenr again that it requires the aggregate coin of all these countries, whose debt this is, to pay sqid interest. But - let the people push these capitaliststo, the wall, by demanding an honest and '~ truthful answer to all these inquiries. And when such answers are given,let ! the capitalists stand from under, as this stolen. property must be given to ‘its owner whenever found. = | : L s |W, HOPKINS, ; The Democrats of the Twentieth Ohio District have placed themselves squarely c}n-recorﬂ in favor of a specie currency and the payment of the national obligations in honest money.— - ‘Hon.
