It is generally conceded that if Senater Thurman succeeds: in rallying the hard money Democrats of Qhio to the support of Gov.

S SarrrDAV'S Chiecaga Tribirne contains an excellentfarticle’ exposing the falsity of the charge that there has been a “ruinous contraction™ of the ‘currency during the last ten years. The . gist of it is this: In Qctober, 1865, the money in circulation footed up to the sum of $734,218,038/20 while in July, 1875, it amounted to $768,785,981:10. But at the former period gold was at a prémium of 146, while at the latter it had fallen to 117."* Therefore sthe purchasing "po'wer of the currehCy “in 1865 was $499,268,265, while in:1875 it is $658,468,083, showing a large.expansion. Verily, the inflationists are ‘hard. up for argumepts. S

- SENATOR MORTON delivered a “riproaring” speech at Urbana, Ohio, last Saturday.. True to his demagogical nature, he endeavored to give new life “to sectional hatred by grossly misrepresenting the condition of affairs inethe Seuth. On the finance question he undertook to fasten the odium ‘of inflatiof:’ and repudiation ppon- Democrats and exculpate himself from the responsibility of fostering that sentiment in the Senate and on the stump. Thespeech is, as usual, prpnounced quite able, by his particular admirers. The ability to say all man“ner of hard things against hi§ political opponents is .universally conceded—his “fairness” perceptible to few.

PLATFORMS AND PLATFORM MAKERS, ~ The editor of the Goshen: Democrat, in his very cOPr'teoiJs reply: to our criticism placed upon his position in relation to- the importanée’ to.be put in platforms*_ and their makers, still adheres to his forfher position and reiterates his cogent principles so fitly embodied in the famous vandalistic adage, “Anything o beat Grant.” We

once more assert-that platforms should mean just what they say, and ought to set forth truthfully andcorcisely | what the party consider the controlling ideas of their.creed. Men who would be party lea‘deré should be.persons of sterling character -and unvac‘illating in expounding and promulgating political doctrines. They should ‘be familiar with the political needs of the country, and always ready to espouse such theories and measures as are'most likely to conduce to the country’s greitest prosperity. Politi-. ¢ians who do not meet these requirements; and are not governed by the general ‘welfare of the country, are not fit persons to be entrusted with the responsible duty of framing platforms. It is, unfortunately;.too true that many of our modern day platform makers have lost the true light so much needed to guide them to truth'and honesty. Instead of allow-ing-principles to govern- them, they [‘are controlled bylow cunning and the selfish idea of success: The true in_terests Aof,'{:/he country are of but little ‘moment to them. Their study appears to have degenerated from that’ w_hi_ch’ wag noble and “honorable to that of the most ignoble forms of deception. With them 1o principle is _shcred; their chief eoncern is to “catch the popular breeze.”. This deplorable _éondition of affairs is fully understood | by the Democrat, and yet-its editor informs us that it is not his “business to deplore”.this startling evidence of I'political debauchery. :He.says:.

LA VAEMEES MM Rg . A RN o } “Tt is our business to take things as ! | they are and out of all Qlaogsé the least of the evils. *-~ *. * % We know | that * political platforms are K made solely for ‘buncombe,’” and they have very little.controlling influence over the voters one way or the other, and “in nine cases out of ten they are néver carried out even by the successful | party.®t - o L " These are lofty sentiments, coming from an old platfosm niaker. and avowed cha,mpio‘n' of reform! - The Democrat has time and again declared itself an uncompromising foe to -every species of fraud, sham and deception. Its editor has been exceedingly severe in the dehunciation of. public officials suspected of having been recreant to their trusts and- unfaithful to their pledges. And yet he tells us that no matter how sacred the pledge .and however flagrant its violation, "there is nothing for him to deplore! Jt seems hardly possible that the Democrat can have duly weighed the words contained in the quotation above cited. But a short year since.a reform or people’s’ movement *was inaugurated in Elkhart county. The newly created (localj party was made up of Democrats and Republicans. | Their .creed was embodled in ‘onc | word: “Reform.” Unknown to the { political world as an organization, having neither record nor reputation, and being wholly disconnected from national parties, it bécame necessary for the young party to proclaim its }purposes and principles,’ in-.order to | inform the voters of the county where-. in they differed from those whom they vroposed to hurl from power and what might be expected should victory perch upon the banner of the “Re-

formers,” A :plat._form was duly con‘structed, every plank conétltuting a pledge.or promise for the. purification ‘and reform of the management of the ‘local government. This piatform was the handiwork- of the same_editor of ‘the Democrat who now tells us thaf platforms are miade solely for.bun'combe." W e Suppose the author of that platform had introduced his resolutions with the remark that while he had undergone the arduous task of‘reducing to writing certain declarations of princi‘ples, he wished ‘to,have it uriderstood that no importance need be attached to'them; that “platforms wete intended solely for buncombe;” and that, in the event. of success, the candidates standing upon this platform must in no sense -be held to a" redemption of, its pledges,—suppose Mr. Murray had thus revealed his' “true inwardness,” what would have’ been the answer of the peopte? ~ = - - L

-Again: Suppose the editor of thé Democrat had one year ago acted upon his present theory—¢it is our business. “to take things as they are and out of “all clioose the least of the evils”—what grounds would he have had for inaug\urating that reform movement? If things must always- be taken as they are, why did Mr. Murray so strenuously insist upon the abandonment of the field by the Democrats and its occupancy by the Reformers? Why not have chosen the “least of the evils” in that instance? .. - e T

~ Again: If platforms are made sole1y for “buncombe,” why did the Democrat so emphatically. repudiate the finan¢ial plank of the' Indiana Demo--cratic platform of 1874, and why did its ‘editor urge the adoption' of hard ‘money resolutions by our. congressional convention? Was it because’he thought both sides ought.to be provided with “buncombe”—thé rag money men by the State, and the hard money men Ly the Congressional platforms ? If gO, we think Mr. Murray owes the committee on resolutions an apology «for, be it remembered, that committee debated the finance question over an hour, not for “buncombe,” but because its mem’bers had positive convictions upon that important question and desired to be well understood. The Democrat further remarks: ° - “Had the republican platform in the Presidential campaign of 1860 been carried out; or even the compromise resolutions adopted by the party in Congress suceeding that campaign, slavery would havestill predominated in the land. - Or suppose the platform of the Democratic national convention in 1874 been carried out, where would have been our country at the present | time? In the last Presidential contest both parties resolved te return to specie payment. The democracy were defeated and tlie republicans success- | ful. ‘Where isthe retu¥n to specie payment pmmmedg ‘that party ? Evéry act of theirs in ress has been n favor of inflation”

ery, they are not suppOséd to have deliberated upon the probable contingencies. of a great war. The abolition of slavery was- brought about by the very condition of ‘things: It was a war measure, forced upon the administration by the logic of events. - | =

_The reference to the democratic national platform of. 1874 (our contemporary evidently means 1864) is directly in point, against the Democrat’s position—that political platforms “have very little controlling influence over the voter.” .It is a well established fact (and the Democrat’s question: “where would have been our cou:itry at the present time ?” corroborates it) that the overwhelming defeat of the democratic ticket that year was mainly due to the folly of rominating a warrior upon a peace platform. It is because we do not want to see a similarly stupendous folly re-enacted ‘next year that we so earnestly protest against weighing down our democratic pony with the odious plank con- | structed by the Ohio demagogues. . We agree with the Democrat that both parties in their national plattorms of 1872 declared in favor of specie resumption. As regards the vio lation of that pledge by the Republi‘cans, we have but this to say: If, as the Democrat avers,the Republicans have legislated in the direction of inflation, then the Ohio inflationists are guilty of falsehood in charging that the currency has been contracted; if, as alleged by the Ohio inflationists, legislation has been toward specie resumption, the Democrat’s averment is disproved in two ways, viz: the Philadelphia convention did not resolve in favor of specie resumption for mere “buncombe,” and, secondly, there has been no violation of ' the wtitten pledge. : : Farther on, the Democrat advances { this singular argument: =

The Democrat and BANNER are both in favor of resuming specie paymerit. But ifitis left to a democratic administration to bring the governmer ; back to specie payment, it is absolutely necessary to.carry the elections to have a democratigyadministration.— Therefore what do we care what Tom, Dick and Harry may say or write or adopt as their platformsso they vote the democratic ticket? THE BANNER may claim a higher standard of political morality than this, but- its practice will not be in: keeping with its standard. . Our party in this State committed to Dan Voorhees the formation of the resolutions in the State platform on the currency. Its spirit was inflation, rag money and repudiation. - The BANJER’S purer political morality led it j ist wheie it led us—to repudiate the platform and vote the ticket. . . C

The first sentence is correct;. the sec@nd‘ so decidedly “muddled” that we will not venture an analysis. As to Tom, Dick. and Harry writing and: adopting platforms, for their own use or amusement, we are as unconcerned as the Democrat; but when Tom, Dick and Harry come’ to making platforms for the party of which we are an humble member, we propose to exercise -the privilege of a freeman by protesting against the incorporation of doctrines that in their tendency are dishonest, disreputable, and injurjous to private and public credit.® -

. The remainder of the above quotation, we are free to admit, contains much, that is of no little force. But the very fact that both the Democrat and the BANNER were placed in an’ unenviable predicament by the incorporation of the Voorhees heresy into the State platform, ought to serve as an admenitionto our contémporary that it is time to put a stop to such shufiling.” Party fealty may render’ submission or acquiescence smooth ‘ sailing for once, but repeated doses of the nauseous stuff may render deglutition more difficult. The-vigorous protest against Voorheesism by ‘the united democratic ‘press of Northern Indiana saved us the humiliation of being represented .in the Senate of the’ United States by an’inflationist, and a steadfast adherence to correct principles may for the next campaign secure us a platform of which we need not feel ashamed and to repudiate ‘which may not become an imperative* duty. g ' e

¢ ‘“CRITICS.” A A ‘certain “A. B—,” writing for the Goshen 7T§mes, evidently has experienced severe criticisms of some of his literary, music, science .or art efforts, | for he assumes a knowledge of ‘all;. To criticize a production is one thing, to be a teacher of critics is another thing.of a very different hue. Says’ “A.B—:" “To be a judge, implies | capability to judge.” . : “A. B—" passes judgment on all critics of science, literature and. the} arts. Therefore, “A. B—” in his own estimation is capable not only to crit-*“ icize the productions of literature, science and art, but instruct even the. masters of their own productions. “A. B—+" says: ' “The person who presumes to sit'in judgment upon the productions of others should ~himself be skilled in the ewecution of similar productions.” B

- Now *“A.B—"sits in judgment over critics and master artists. -Therefore “A. B—" assumes to be skilled not only in all the arts and ‘sciences, but even in the most complex of all arts, the making of critics. - “A. B--" assumes the honor of being not only “a specialist in. some particular department of knowledge,” but a profound specialist in ail “departments of knowledge.” Therefore, “A. B—” in his own estimation is the most successful critic that this world has ever produced. - . . “A.B—"says: “The real critic is of great value to mankind.” “A.B—” believes himself to be a “real critic.” Therefore, in the estimation of “A.

ABOUT CONTRACTION.

The editor of the Syracuse Ewnterprise has of late devoted his attention to the study of the finance question. The result of his investigation is the ‘appearance of several articles in the columns of his spicy paper. favorable to inflation and 'deprecatory of resumption. His -last, effort reads as follows: : . s

Contractionists are clamoring for a return to specie payments and a consequent férther contraction of the volume of currency, on the grounds that the amount now authorized by law cannot find profitable investment. But a few years since, when the volume of currency was much _greater than it is at present, there was none too much for the legitimate wants of trade, but by an uncalled for contraction, looking to an early return to specie payments, the wheels of industry have been -stopped; mills and manufactories are lying idle, and he would be considered reckless in the extreme who would invest ‘his means in any new enterprise, the value of which must be greatly depreciated when a further contraction is made, as will have to be done before specie payments can be resumed. It is a grand, gambling scheme, equaled only by the gambling in the grain' and stock markets of our great cities.— ‘One class will get richer at the expense of the other.’ ;

We fear our contemporary has patterned after the “great financier,” Jack Logan, who naively declared that two weeks’ study enabled him to master the financial problem. However this may be, it is quite certain that he has fallen into the error of accepting and repeating as facts the wild statements of Bill Kelley, Tom Ewing, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Inter-Ocean, and 'other advocates of the inflation heresy. Had he consulted official documents and reliable financial authorities, he would have discovered his talk about contraction is idle bosh—that instead of having less currency in circulation to-day than the country had in 1866, there is really a net increase of $7B;154,588 in legal tenders and national bank notes! It is susceptible of proof that the actual increase (difference in premium on gold being considered) is even much more than the above fig--ures indicate. No, Mr. Enterprise, your alleged scarcity of money is not’ the cause of stagnation in business. It is alack of confidence that prevents capital from seeking an investmentin ‘business, and this lack of confidence is the fruit of the senseless denunciation of men who are lucky enough to possess capital, and of the nonsensical demand for starting the printing presses of the government for an unlimited: issue of government promises to pay—when it gets ready. If this style of “reasoning” would cease, the industrial interests would soon experience a wholesome revival. The collapse of Jay Cooke’s inflated balloon ought to have satisfied every thinking man insthe land that financighg€curity can only be reached by bYW (dMgabon a solid basis. Tt illy becomes¥he Enterprise to attribute “grand gafibling schemes” to hard noney men when every reckless speculator, every rep: udiator, every wild cat banker, and every communist joins in the grand chorus for “more currency.”

.+ INDIANA’S INUNDATION. : SR : i : €areful Estimate of the Damage Done to This State. E : TERRE HAUTE, Aug. B.—~Theinundated district is comprised chiefly in the valley of the Wabash river, beginuing about twenty-nve miles abbove Lafayette, and extending to the mouth of the Wabash. For that distance, the bottoms from one t 6 two miles ‘in width along the river, were overflowed, the water three days ‘since being from two to:twelve feet deep, from which it is now receding. A careful estimate, based on a co;_nparison of reports received by the railway companies whose lines traverse this region, and which agree with the reports from other reliable sources, and is confirmed by my own observations, shows that the area of the bottom lands'in undated is between 450 and 500 square miles. Of this, not to exceed 250 was under cultivation. .The crops here ‘have been totally destroyed, much of the growing corn having been swept away, while the rest is left ruined. Reckoning fifty bushels to the acre as the probable crop of the overflowed bottoms under cultivation, the -loss exceeds®B,ooo,ooo, bushels. Besid®és, the overflow of the tributaries ot the Wabash has caused a loss of about, as nearly as can be estimated, a quarter more, which would make an aggregate of 10,000,000; bushels. The figures look big, but the fact is that there are no two of the counties which suffered in’ which the area under cultivation is not equal, or greater, than that of ‘the inundated strip along the Wabash and its tributaries. There has peen great exaggeration of the damage to the low lands notlying on the Wabash or its tributaries. This was, a few days since, estimated as equal to 50 per cent. of the entire crop of central and southern Indiana. - , e

The panic is now subsiding, and the better estimates place the damage 4t not more than 25 per cent of the ¢rop of central and southern Indiana. Exteénsive inquiry made through considerable portions of the distriet satisfy me that 10 per cent. would be too great .an estimate.. The late cool weather has:had a favorable effect, and it-is more than likely the crop returns from these low lands will show but a comparatively trifling damage. Grain which was in- the shock when the forty days’ rain set in is found to have been damaged less than was estimated, the damage being but from 10 to 15 per cent. of the crop, instead of 40, as first reported. The total loss, according to the reports received from every quarter, will be at least fully offsét by the crop yield generally, which, unless further disaster occur.on the lands that escaped the flood, will be fully equal to- that of the best yeats, while the area under eultivation is greater than ever before, the acreage, according to some estimates, being 10 pericent. more than that. of last year. This,/however, is probably an over estimate.

The damage to the .oat crop is estimated at from 20 to 40 per cent., the former figure being more nearly accurate. L v i

The Wabash is. falling rapidly at all points above this city, and has reached its exfreme heighy, it is believed; at Vincennes. There have been no rains: for the past six or seven days. The water-courses are rapidly emptying themeselves. Complete railroad communication will be restored within a few days, except one or two new roads, and the prevailing tone is more cheerful. j i ,

Japan is said to be making.preparations to take-forcible possession of Corea, for which she has plenty of pretexts in the murder by the Coreans of many foreign seamen who have beeri wrecked upon their shores.— Meanwhile the Russian government looks on with a jealous eye, hiaying its own designs:upon Corea as an extension of its Pacific coast line. :

-Later reports indicate that the failure of Duncan, Sherman & Co. will not cause sserious embarrassment in finanecial circles.. .Their losses were chiefly the result of heavy transactions in cotton. The price of that staple has declined about $6 per bale within the last few months, and of course heavy holﬁrs‘ have been great sufferers. TheTailure had no appreciable effect upon the:L.ondon market. A dispateh from the White Mountains says: “There is a rumor in circulation in the hotel at -which Mr. Beecher is stopping, that Francis D. Moulton has been in consultation With General Butler; and that the result of ‘that consultation is partially perfected. The plan is to. bring suit against Mr. Beecher in that county for perjury in®.swearing to his- reply to the Tilton suit last year at Middleton.”

Three men have been arrested in Washington for patticipation in the great Treasury robbery of a few weeks ago, by which $47,000 was stolen. One of them named Halleck; has made a full confession, and at least $40,000 of the money will be recovered. Ofttman is rich, and whatever deficiency there may be can be made out of his property, so that the government will not be a loser in any event, FiE g

The ' Chicago 7'%mes advocates the repudiation’ of a portion of Chicago’s debt. The 7Z'74bune stands up strenuously for paying the whole of it. The debt may be larger than the constitutional limit, ‘and ‘was probably incurred for many wasteful and extravagant improvements, but there is. nothing for the people to do save pay for the dishonesty of their own agents. Paying for a dead horse is hard, but it is honest. - A ;

Mr. Jefferson Davis' has accepted the invitation of the Winnebago Agricaltural - Society; and will, next month,. tell the people at Rockford, 111., what hé knows about-tilling the soil and cultivating sour-apple trees. In his letter “the President” expresses his" desire to behold a part of the country which was a wilderness when he last journeyed through it, and conveys his thanks for a becoming opportunity. . ;

~ Affairs-are growing serious at Fall River, Mass., among the 15,000 mill operatives “\!{1)0 have ¢hosen to remain Idle rather than work at redue- | ed wages, Public sentiment seems to have takén sides against the strikers, | and the grocery and provision merchants have tdken a stand which will either shorten the strike or precipitate a violent conflict.. They refuse to allow the idle workmen to run up bills at their stores, on the ground that people . who ‘can afford to voluntarily quit work for a month can afford to pay cash for family supplies. A Movement in the Right Diréetion. The Crawfordsville Journal says a movement is on foot among the mem-* Jbers of the bar of that Suprque Court: district to hz%ve a meeting called at’an: early day and select a candidate for Supreme Judge, to be voted for without any reference to party. This is a movement in the right direction. The Judges of the Supreme Court and all -other Courts should be made t 6 feel that they have been selected by the people by reason of their eminent qualifications, and that. they will be expected to purify the judiciary and remove from it the suspicion of party. | The great State of Indiana should select a Supreme Court whose: opinions will be accepted as correct interpretations of the law. :

- At a meeting of Catholics held in one of the parishes of St. Lous, a few days ago, to consider the condition of the schools, the parish priest, Father Doherty, took decided grounds -against the public schools as now conducted, and in favor of their control by the church. He said “that the mandate of our Lord to His Apostles, ‘Go teach all nations,” places the moral education of young men and old in the hands of the church;” that it is “only through the schoel that the church can réach the lambs of her flock,” therefore the church should have:the school; that *“the moralilty of the public schools cannot be higher or better than that of the pagans;” that in them “a child may be taught to read and to cipher, but he cannot consistently be taught that he must not steal,” with more to the same effect. —————— | 2 - .“I would not accept a nomination if it were tendered, unless it should come under such circumstances as to make it an imperative duty,” says President. Grant in his amu,sing “third term” utterance. “I swear,” said old Parkinson, in a paroxysm of the demoralizing misery which follows a debauch, “I swear I never’ll tech another drop of liquor-—unless I'm sick or want
