We cannot see the force of his objection. . Everybody knows that there’are hard money Republicans and hard money: Democrats; soft money Republicans and soft mon“éy Démocrats.. Why, under these cir‘Tchtgstiarices; a change of party relation should be hinted at,remains for the Enterprise man to explain.

A FRIENDLY RESPONSE TO A FRIEND: el RN BREE; o - - The’ NATIONAL BANNKER of last week publishes the position that General Jackson held in regard to paper money in 1842, and because. General Jackson ‘said thirty-three years ago that specie was the Kind of money, and none other would do, of course we must keep it up, whether we have half enough specie to pay ore day or not. Perhaps the time was once, when it was best to lave specie payment, but now it'is: an ufter impossibility, and what is the use of talking about doing something that cannot be done: The intelligent editor of the NATIONAL BANNER knows-that there is not oné-fourth enough hard money in the United States, to make it the only circulating medium, and perhaps Gen. Jackson at that time was right, but if he was living at this time, it is reasonable to suppose that he would not utter those:sentiments: The cireumstances. that prompt-us to certain deeds during’ one agé may .be to the contrary at another, and it is utter folly: to. hold'on to. an ancient principle when there can be no.good reason for it; simply because we said it was right forty years ago, when the surrounding circumstances were foreign from what they are to-day. The only question to settle, how are we to relieve the people of the finanecial press~ure. : There isno business going onin the country, except it is’from necessity, and thousands of persons hre with~out employment, and this is all from the fearful' condition of our finances. How, O! ‘Where is relief to come from, and if tlie editor of the BANNER -will explain to us how specie payment is to do it, perhaps we cin agree with “him, otherwise: we can see no sense in his using his columns in advocating an utter impossibility. = He is a man “of ability and. influence, and it looks strange to see him hatch up old things that were all right perhaps a half a _century ago, but beyond reach at the present time, and claim that to be the ‘way to obtain relief.—Lebanon PioMEET . { 5 o . .

‘We reproduce. the above - criticism entire, that our readers. may learn how little the position of advocates of a return to specie paymerts is undeistood, and how untenable the objections usually urged against that proposition. ) IR 2

The editor of the Pioneer labors under the delusion (1) that a return to specie ‘paymeénts implies the absolute §gpplmi_ti»ng oft paper money : (2) that resumption is to take place at once; 3) that'hard-money ideas are adhered to because of their earnest advocacy by Gen. Jackson, and, (4) that the stagnation of business. is® wholly attributable to the scarci_ty of money.- His remarks also. indicate that he is in favor of ;inﬁation, ‘as the surest means of furnishing glnpl,oy’rﬁent to the “thousands' of laborers” who cannot find a demand for their niusecle. . - o

We will endeavor to make our position comprehensible, not only to the editor of the Pioneer, but to all others who may be in doubt as to the true policy that will lead to a satisfactory disposal of the financial- question. ~ Among all the advocates of specie resd‘mption. we know nét of a single one .who. propeses to,' "precjpitat'c Tedemption. What they do demand. i 3, that whatever legislation is had upon that suﬁjeﬁct"»s’hallj be .toward ‘resumption, and not in the direction of expansion. ~ While ever opposed to needlessly tinkering with finances, the events of the past five years have fully demonstrated the necessity of Congress making a positive and une-‘q-ui\'rocal' déclaration that the government will redeem its obligations at a certain time. For this reason we simctidned the,acﬂtifm of Congress in fixing upon January. 1, 1879, as the time for beginning such redemption, not that the bill providing for the same is the bést and most judicious that could have been adopted, but because.it was all that could be seeured under the" circumstances. In other words, we deemed a half loaf better than none at all.; The means proposed for inaugurating redemption may be faulty; but this can bhe‘ remedied during the next two years. = = -

The Pioneer could not. have fallen into a deeper; error _tlian that of sup_posing that we are a blind worshiper of the past. ‘The columns of THe BANNER from-its very inception furnish abundant evidence to't-hefjcontra-ry. No one appreciates more fully than -we do.ourself that each generation must fight its own battles, and confront ‘many difficulties which its predecessors never met. But, to use the language of another, ..“tliere are some things that ‘time does not alter. Natural and economical laws do not change with the phases of the moon nor with the necessities of pelitical parties.” The financial doctrines enunciated by the Ohio inflitionists and ‘endorsed by the Pioncer, are not new. They have been,tried over and over, and the experiment has invariably resulted alike. ' Inflation was first tried by one of the emperors of China 119 | years B. C. It ended in repudiation. The emperor of Japan followed the example with the same result. —Austria tried it, and untold evil and embarrassment followed.. France experimented with it, under the regency of Louis xv., and the sesult was that $lOO was scarcely adequate to buy a single pound of butter. = The experilence of John Law, the ablest and most ingenious inflationist who ever attempted to reduce the theory to ; practice, furnishes a lesson that “should dispel the illusion for centuries yet to come. The early history of the United States teaches that when Congress yielded to the clamor for “more. money,” depreciation ensued with such astounding rapidity that currency became exchangeable only at’the rate of athousand dollars for one single sound dollar. The lessons to be derived. from this are of the highest value to every citizen who sincerely desires a satisfactory solution of our finaneial problem. Truer words were never uttered than these: “No thought“ful statesman ever overlooks the: “precedents establishing -the positive “conclusion that whenever legislators, “have attempted to compel the peo“ple to' take.irredeemable paper at “par with coin, the laws of the strong“est alike with the weakest govern-. “ments have signally failed in enforc“ing their wishes.,” iy e 1

_ Like all other advoeates of an inflated curreney, the editor of the Piomeer attributes the present stagnation ‘of business to a supposed searcity of ‘the eirculating medium. The instrucfivé pages of ‘history furnish a most | conclusive refutation of this false assumption. 1t isa faet #ot to be resisted that commercial panics have |

of the currency. Hapansion disturbs values, promotes speculation and overtrading, hastens a crisis, and aggravates its effects. Such was the case with the violent panie of 1837, when the currency had been increased from ninety-four millions to one hundred and forty-nine millions. Speculation ran so high that the loans and discounts of the banks increased more than two hundred millions during the brief period of three years." Business was 'lively. from 1834 until the close of 1837, -when the bubble exploded, bringing ruin upon the whole country —the innocent as well as the guilty. The lessons taught by that crash were remembered for seventeen years. Then the doctrine of expansion was again applied, and, sure enough, the year 1857 brought another panie.:The fact that the country got along with $207,100,000 paper currency in 1860, and that the outstanding,birculatidh in 1866 amounted to $648,866,000, and on July 1, 1875, to $725,640,588, exclusive of over $41,000,000 of fractional currency, proves most conclusively that'a weaker invention than the “insufllciency of the volume of curregney” has never been contrived.

Panics have oceurred in this country once in about "twenty, years. They have always resulted .from- the same causes, Viz.: over-production, overtrading;extrav ugance‘“ and speculation, the natural out-growths of an expanded currency. Money being plentiful, the construction: of railroads, the ess tablishment of manufactories, @ &ec., was carried on far beyond the needs of the country. Speculative capitalists plunged. head over'heels in debt. Se long as they had the money to carry on these enterprises, and could find purchasers for their productions, everything went on swimmingly. But these things could not last always.— The reaction ha.sten'ed on \‘vi_ﬁh gigantic steps. The individual who managed a $lOO,OOO business with Aa cépital of $£25,000 had to go under. , Confidence ‘yielded to suspicion, and {he result of all is: hard times. g ; What, now, is the remedy? Inflationists tell us that the issue of more f, money is the panacea for our ills.— ! In other words, to sober off, we must ‘administer larger doses of stimulants. ‘Reason and common. sense alikéﬁprotest against a policy so suicidal:; To issue more promises to pay w%’uld only aggravate our diﬂicul@ies. It would depreciate the value of the whole mass, scale down the value of ‘every dollar in the people’s pockets, "and delay the revival of business by driving' capital into retirement. The true policy to pursue, so far as legislation is concerned, is to make the quality of our currency good and constant by gradually bringing it to par with coin. Its volume must depend upon the natural laws of- trade, which are above legislation and ‘wiser than all the Congresses that ever assembled at Washington. Banking has been made free, and the selfish interests’ of the banks will lead them to keep in circulation all the notes that business can safely employ. So long as they are held under the close supervision ~of “the law, and requited to keep the quality of their currency good, the people may be sure that they will enjoy a safe and sufficient currency. . But we are admonished by our contemporary that it is fdle.to talk about resumption so long asthe government is not in possession of sufficient gold to’ redeem the legal tender notes. .If ‘redemptidn was to be delayed until enough gold has been hoarded to redeem dollar for dollar, it is .tolerably safe to assume that that desirable end will not be reached for many years to ‘come.” But, happily, no snch necessity exists.” Our 'mines yield annually about sixty millions of gold and silver. Our exports bring millions of coin to -our shores. When we cease to legislate” against gold, when ‘we cease to drive it to foreign lands by the 'impracticable legislation ~of Pig-iron Kelley “and his fellow protectionists, when we exchange our wheat and cotton for gold instead of silks and fancy liquors, gold will flow into our country as readily as it now flows to Europe, where it is :}'ﬁpr iated according ‘to its merits and vahx\and not kicked aside .and branded ‘as “a relic of barbarism,” ‘as has been and is still ‘the case in the United States. There is no country in the world where gold can be had more readily than in our own. We need not accumulate $382,000,000 in' gold to redeem the legal tenders. I.et the government fund enough greenbacks to raise them' to par. -It will not take many to do this. Then let them float -until we are able to pay them, which will soon be, when specie payment has settled business on a stable basis. Every paper dollar will then have the ring of the genuine metal, and be. “as good as gold,” A necessary attendant of this proposition is frugality and - economy. The tariff must-be adjusted with reference to the interests of the® people | at large, instead of the exclusive benefits ' of* the favored classes.” The revenues must be ‘honestly collected. Needless expenses must be cut off. In short, the errors of the past must be abandoned; true statesmanship must supérsede demagoguery, ‘incompetency, profligacy. - Instead of electing to Congress howling demagogues and corrupt politicians, we must select men of capacity, of integrity, and of mi‘;fruestionable_honesty. e

. We hope for its success—rag money or no rag money. However much we are opposed to an indefinite continuance of an irredeemable currency;and however strong our desire to see the country get back to specie payment, the defeat of the democracy in Ohio and the nation is, we think, a hundredfold greater calamity. to the best interest of the country than the continuance of the present system of currency.- That is just the difference between the NATIONAL BANNER and the Goshen Demoerat.—Goshen Democrat, -

Not exactly. TnHe BANNER maintains that the adoption, by the demoeratic national cohvvlention, of the _spurious rag baby ef the Ohio Democracy, would lead to inevitable and disastrous defeat at the presidential election. As between a grand national victory in 1876, and the success of the Ohio inflationists, THE BANNER emphatically prefers the former. If it were possible for the Democrat to upnderstand - that aévzncipzef will have much to do with deciding the result of coming elections, it would not talk 50 loosely on these poini,

L 'WAI.}K INTO MY LITTLE PARLOR, - We are glad to see sofew Democratic journals in Indiana still hanging on the side of the Bullionists and National Banks. The only two prominent ones now, that persist in the advoeacy of immédiate resumption are the Ft. Wayne Sentinel, at Ft. Wayne, and the NATIONAL BANNER, at Ligonier; Noble county, both of which we hope to see in due time fall into ranks and go with the people. We can, guarantee that J. B. Stoll, of the BANNER, is too much of a Democrat and.people’s friend to stand much longer in the way of sinners, and will hearken to the will of the people, however much his own private opinion may differ from that of the general public. The NATIONAL BANNER is one of the best and most ably edited Democratic papers in the State, and we long to see friend Stoll and his paper take a leap in the right direction, as has the Sentinel, and comte! out from among the “Wall Streeters” and National Bankers and go with the people, as we trust John will-do in due time.—Braztl Echo. - - e

. Washigton dispatches indicate that there is a prospect of an international trouble between the United States and Great Dritain that may need another- Board of Arbitsition te-settle The history of the case is thus 'stated: Not long ago an American schooner, Gilbert C. Triefant, was sold at Liverpool to British ship-owners, in open ‘violation of the provisions of our law providing for the sale of American vessels. Minister Schenck attempted to prevent this illegal sale, and notified the State Department here of the violation of the Treasury Department regulations. A very lively correspon‘dence has been maintained between ‘tite authorities of our Government and those of Great Britain. Our people have requested the British to turn over this vessel to us, in order that 'she may be libeled against her former owners. The Earl Derby has already decided the -vessel shall not be delivered up, as in the sale all of the regulations of the British law governing such sales have been carefully observed.. He sees, therefore, no reason. for interfering. Upon the receipt of the decision of the Earl of Derby the Secretary of the Treasury has issued. orders to all of the Collectors of Customs at all of the seacoast ports to seize and detain the Triefant should she ever visit this country. As:the vessel has papers from the British Government, and flies its flag, its seizure, if made, is bound to cause a good deal of trouble. As amatter of course, we want to see the dignity of Uncle Sam properly ma_intainéd; yet, no unreasonable demands should be made’ by our government. e

: - WHAT DOESIT MEAN ? The Goshen Democrat of'lagt week Bays: e ‘ L

The republican candidate elected to Congress from this district by 58 majority, over an’old farmer, leveled all his guns against the conduect Of his own party. It may truthfully be said that he canvassed the district agaifst the republican party instead of the democratic party, so-that his: election by the meagre majority of 58, although sufficient for an election, was a virtual condemnation of his own party. He was more bitter on the administration than his opponent, never so much as. making one complimentary allusion to Grant in any of his speeches. .

This paragraph reads so entirely different from anything heretofore published in the Democrat, that. we feel constrained to inquire whether it is intended for a statement of facts or for a clever little indictment of Mr, Baker's loyalty—designed to ‘destroy that gentleman’s influence with the administration ? ey

No platform-maker ever undertook a greater humbug than the editor of the NATIONAL BANNER, wlien he undertakes to make his readers believe that he would not have sought to be a candidate for State Auditor, or run as a candidate, had he been nominated by the last Democratic State Convention, on anything short of a hard-mon-ey platform!

Our contemporary seems to labor under’ the-delusion that something “awful” has arisen—that lengthy explanations nréimeeﬁfed to properly fix the rise, progress| and ‘probablé termination of “the great controversy” in the public mind. \:Vith all due regard for our sensitive neighbor, we are compelled to style ‘this sort of “polemiczﬁ_ sparring” $o .exceedingly babyish as 1¢ excite profound disgust. ‘We have neither the tifgne nor inclination to waste our space on matters o 1 such trivial importance.

. Fire ‘at lendallville. 3 - Kendallville was scorched by another f[ire, this morning, ' About two o’clock Peter Rinhgle discovered that his large two story building at the gsouth end of the business part of Main street, was on fire, and gave the alarm. When = discovered the blaze . was streaming up twenty feet in. the air, from the roof lighting up the entire city, and had madé such headway that it was impossible to save the building; and_only a portion of the contents were removed. The storeroom in the corner was unoccupied. but Mr. Ringle’s residence was in the ‘building, decupying a part of the first floor ghd a part of the second story. Waltér Emerson 'als,% occupied rooms in the second story, and lost most of his: household goods. . Mr. Ringle’s loss is quite heavy—probably $4,000.' He had $1,500 insurance,on the buildmg.. . e

The two small buildings south of the one burned barely escaped; and were only saved by the timely but tardy stream of water from the engine, throught 900 feet of hose. The origin of the fire is unknown, as there had been no. fire in the part of the building where it was first discovered for some time. We can hardly believe that there is any person so debased as to have set the fire inten-tionally.—-Kendallville Standard, Sth.

A spectacle of a thrillimg but .most satisfactory character-was witnessed last Friday at Fort Smith, Ark., where' six murderers, sentenced on the same day and for different crimes on the 25th of last June, in the United States District Court of Western Arkansas, were: hanged together. . The like, we “believe, was never before seen in America in one day and at one place, except, perhaps, the execution of thir-ty-eight Sioux Indians at Mankato, Minn,, in 1862. In the sextuple hanging at Fort Smith, four of the .doomed men were whites, one a negro, and another a Chocktaw Indian. The crimes for which these murderers paic. the penalty of itheir lives are sketo. ed in the dispatches, and it is worthy of note that, while all the murders were of the most brutal and fiendish ‘type, in each case the evidence was absolutély conclusive of guilt, and the ‘punishment was richly merited.— Nothing less than this awful jointure of retributive justice, so well arranged .with a view to securing the end sought; could have serVed to strike tefror to the hearts of the murderous hordes which have infested Western Arkansas and the adjoining Indian Territory. Just such a combination of startling effects was needed in that region, and the result cannot but he salutary in demonstrating the terrible majesty of the law.

Damaging developments multiply so rapidly in connection with the. interior Department that Secretary Delano is in a fair way soon to fully realize the truth of the saying, facilis decensus averni. Now that he is well started in that direction, there is no end of timely and helpful kicks. - One of the latest is the alleged discovery of a fraud in the purchase of furniture for the Department, whereby a division has been made of the difference between $lO and $35 as the price:paid for office-desks at Baltimore and W.ashington prices respectively, The firstnamed figure left a fair profit to tﬂe dealer; the second :was necessary in order that-parties in the Interior Department might pocket a casual dollar or two.
