EvEN the New York Z%imes, the ablest republican paper in the United States, tells the New York Bankers -that they have committed a blunder 'in seeking to demonetize the silver dollar. | ot ,

CONGRESSMAN JEPTHA D. NEW, of Vernon, is also 'ftalk'ed of for Governor in 1880./ Heis a good man,but may be found td reside a little too far south. The nortf is likely to make a bold demand for that office. . |

ToE New York bankers are trying to annul the silver act by refusing te recognize it*as money. Silver is too common for these delicate Money Barons. Nothing short of glittering gold will answer their purpose.

Wit pork at a'frifle over 2 cents ] per pound, wheat at 85 cents, and corn i at 25, ten per cent. interest is simply “ enhormous—equal to 20 per cent. ten years ago. The Legislature must put a veto on this ruinous rate. :

- THE incoming Legislature ought to enact a stringent law disfranchising any man;.‘?who “directly orindirectly

sells his vote at any general election.

That kind of cattle should have no " voice in shaping the affairs of republican government,~

BANKRUPTCIES and failures are alarmingly on the increase in England. Thousands of workingmen areBeing thrown out of employment. The markets are glutted with every species of manufactured articles, with no demand therefor anywhere. e

SENATOR D. W. VooRHEES leaves for

- Washington on the 30th inst,. He will probably remain there until ghortly before the election for U. 8. Senator takes place at ¥idianapolis, which will be January 21st. “Then we’ll all go down to the State Capital'to see that Dan’s election is made sure.”

THOUGH opposed to the resumption aet from its very inception; Ben Butler never cast a vote in favor of its repeal. He says he wants the experiment tried, feeling¥assured that its inevitable failure will gecure much more favorable legislation for the people than could be expected otherwise.

HoN.. Geo. W. JULIAN took an active part in the women’s suffrage convention which met at Indianapolis last week. He delivered an able speech in advocacy of “equal rights.” George will hardly live long emough to see suffrage extended .in “this 'country. The tendency of* public sentiment is in an opposite direction, -

EFFORTS are now being made by leading Nationals to secure the united support of the National members of the Legislature for Dan Voorhees.— This is a step in the right direction. The Democrats and Nationals of the Indiana Legislature should effect a thorough union and direct their joint efforts against the schemes of the common enemy, S it

TnE ninth annual convention of the 1 American Woman Suffrage Association, which convened af, Indianapolis last week, was an event of more than passing interest. The .Journal says the association is composed of earnest and cultivated women, who believe that the extension of the suffrage to their sex would result in better protection to their rights and better government for all. |

THE DEMAND of the hour is, not for a “Solid South,” not for a“Solid North,” but for a “Solid Country”—a Union of hands and a Union of hearts. Away with sectionalism, away with territorial divisions in politics. Protection of all citizens in their political, legal .. and social rights. The politician who seeks to stir up sectional animosities is an enpmy to the peace and happi--ness of the country, -~ |

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON CURRENCY. - Though an eccentric character, and often illiberal and unjust in his severe criticisms, Wendell Phillips once in a while indulges in utterances of exceeding good sense. Since the November elections he has lectured on | the currency question, and tﬁit. too, in localities where people are sadly in need of information and enlightenment. He recently spoke in one of | the inland cities of New York, and in the Bourse of his remarks he made ‘some remarkably happy hits. “Gallatin, the banker,” Mr. Phillips remarked among other good things, “addressed a.conyention of bank presidents. He held up a five-dollar bill. ‘We know what this is,’ he said; ‘it’s a promise to pay $5, but it’s on condition that nobody shall ask for it (Applause and laughter,) Symbols are a necessity where there are forty millions of people and hundreds of millions of money changing hands daily.” Mr. Phillips said - that. the question resolved itself into, “Who shall have l the power to make currency larger or§ smaller?”

- “This power,”-he said, “should rest with the peopte-and not with banks. These latter are the money changers whom Christ scourged out of the temple, The Bank .of England,” he continued, “with all its stringent rules about coin, had to go on its knees to the government to keep from closing its doors when payment in coin was demanded. And this, too, in a country ‘where gold is so plentiful. No, money does not mean coin. Money means checks, diseount, credit.” - He ‘censured the trade in money carried on by banks, which was the real cause of the people’s poverty. Daniel Webster said: **Political economy is not a science; it is a series of experiments suited to time,. circumstance’ and place.” France kept its money in its peasants’ stockings. It scorned banks. When the late Em‘peror called for a loan to carry on the ‘war and banks laughed at him, double ' the amountcame out of the stockings of the peasantry. *“We are treading in the very steps that led England into bankruptey between 1816 and 1821. England without paper money ‘is half bankrupt to-day; Germany is wholly so, and France is the only nation that’s prospering.” : Mr. Phillips closed with an eulogy of the greenback “which had brought us back to prosperity after the rebellion and which, after all it had done fof us, we were inclined to scoff and ridicule.” | : pot

“BUSINESS is reviving,” we aretold, vet the telegraﬁp brings this discouraging news from Allentown, Pennsylvania: “Considerable excitement and feeling have been caused in this city over the suspension of the Allentown Iron Company, it being one of -the largest establishments of the kind in the Lehigh Valley, and giving employment to 700 men. They have five furmnaces. and twenty-five ore mines in different parts of Berks and Lehigh counties. The company was incorporated in 1851, The total liabilities of the concern ‘are about $500,000, while the assets are said to be worth nearly $1,000,000. The ecause of the suspension is attributed to the de‘pressed condition of the iron trade.— ‘The ore mines of the company have all been stopped, and the 200 men discharged.” But, never mind: we are fast coming down to hard-pan!, =

MASSACHUSETTS almost alone of the thirty States that held elections in November, polled anything like a full vote. The animated contest for Governor there called out a show of strength that was not expected’ when the canvass commenced. Dennis Kearney’s ravings alarmed the money bags, and contributed to the defeat of Gen. Butler, who, in spite of this dead weight which he was in a manner forced to carry, getmore votes than Mr. Tilden did in 1876, and actually exceeded the vote which elected Gov. Rice last year by nearly twenfy thousand. All things considered, this is a marvelous result. Itshows that Ben Butler isfar from being a “dead duck,” politically or otherwise. © Wouldn’t bé surprised to see him sweep the State mext year. Ben is already arranging for the fight of 1879.

Wi R. Bowes, one of the best known men in the State, died at his home in Michigan City last Monday evening, - Mr. Bowes was a staunch Democrat and had filled many prominent positions in the past, being assistant secretary of the constitutional convention, clerk of the House in 1854 and 1856, secretary of the northern division of Indian agencies at St. Paul under Buchanan, and postal agent under President Johnson, and of late has been largely interested in several large railroad projects. :

5 ————————l O B—— . i THE ignoramuses who affect to know all about the secret workings of the contest for the U. 8. Senatorship have published in some of the eastern papers the ridiculous statement that the “hard money” opposition to Dan Voorhees is likely to be centered on John R. Coffroth, As that gentloman is perhaps the most pronounced -greenbacker outside the “National” camp, the value of this statement need not be placed at a very high figure. " . - THE BANKS of issue ought to be required to redeem their bills in coin, As the law now stands they need not bother themselves about the redemption of their bills except to provide themselves with 'greenbacks. The government alone is under the necessity of redeeming in coin. This is. unjust and ought to be changed. The Banks have been clamorous for resumption ; let them share the burdens of resumption equally with Uncle Sam. i s ~ 'Gen. James A, m eld would suit us as a republican candidate for President.—Lagrange Standara, . . 'The Btandard pretends to be in Tavor of greenbacks and siiver, and yet

SWAN LOCALS.

" The elections are over for the pfes—{ ent, and the prospects are good:for the star spangled banner of democracy to float proudly over our national capital in 1880, as it does over our State capital, and over the once great republican party. The little game of bartering and selling did not win this time in Swan, and we think the banker who was‘down here Saturday previous to the election had tocall his money in. That game was watched. Those boys in blue who carried the musket in the late war did the business in Allen township. Those republican “favors” which the boys did not receive were remembered.

H. M. Ricard, our gentlemanly station agent, has won the confidence of our citizens and is an honor to any railroad company that secures his services. : S

The hyena has emigrated from the graveyard to -the railroad crossing.— ‘We should think it would get its hair full of burs these nights. Corn is selling at 24 cents, oats 18 cents, wheat 75 cents per bushel.— Wonder how far it is yet to hard pan ? Yes, why not trot out the hornswaggler of Goshen for Governor, and send Prickett to Swan to weep?. | Macy Philips vs. Stafford was arrayed before ’Squire Neff for the second offense of theft. The papers being broken, hisattorney from Kendallville called him outside to have a privafe talk, and told him to skip out.— Dretty sharp for a republican candidate for Prosecutor. We . understand our school will commence on the 25th of this month, with G. H. laggett as principal, and Miss Jennie Bently as assistant. We see Dr. A.S. Parker, of the Kendallville News, is announced as a candidate for Prison Director. The Doctor is a straight-forward :man, and should' he Le selected he will serve the State for its best interests.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19.—Warren Tate, formerly a successful business man of this city, fatally shot William Love, a prominent real estate dealer, in the corridor of the court-house, becauge of a difference about a lawsuit. Loye had béen on the witness stand, and on passing out of the court-house was met by Tate, who had gone out before him and was talking to a friend. Tate, without giving a word of warning, wheeled, drew his revolver and fired twice. Both shots took effect, the second one passing through the bowels. Love died in about an hour, suffering meanwhile the greatest agony. -Tate was locked up. The murderer was lately married to Jennie Dailey. the keeper of a notorious house of prostitution, and herself and busband are worth $300,000, . _ v e~ e e —lls it an indication of wholesome legislation that while the money-lend-er can realize from 10 to 15 per cent. on his capital, the farmer and manufacturer is glad if he can realize five per centum upon his investment? ~Bring on your wood while the U e

Robert Barr, of Kendallville, and John Smith, of Albior, were in town on Saturday. Both are “longfellows.”

Avilla now has a first-class- barber who should be well patronized. When the barber is gone a vacancy exists, and then some men go to Kendallville for a shave or a hair cut, and thereby our business men lose their custom.

. Short, sharp ahd comical discussions on technical problems, and the whisky . question, are drawing the minds of some of the people. A few say they are much benefited. . The schools of Allen township commenced -Monday morning. Some ef the districts are much opposed to the new adoption of books. On last Thursday evening there was a free show and concert in the Town Hall.:. The citizens displayed much good sense by not patronizing the slight-of-hand performer. When the people would not pay their way, they were sent for and taken in free of

Mr. Johnson, ex-surveyor, was in town on Friday. His business was to get stakes for afew ditches in this and adjoining townships. Mr. Johnson commenced pedagogueing in J efferson township on the 18th. The Evangelical Sunday school will hold a festival this or noxt week, for the purpose of procuring the best Sunday school papers and part pay for the organ. ' Let the peopie of Avilla and its surroundings come out and have a jolly time. A fellow, after having been discharged :by the sheriff, could not get home to Kendallville, without drinking so much of the unclean rum that it Tequired a five-foot walk to keep him from falling in the mud. Itis a fine thing Avilla’has good walks from one depot to the other. Much shipping is done at this place now. Twelve car loads of horses, cattle and sheep were shipped on the G. R. & I. R.

Kendallville, like other cities of equal dimensions, must have her ups and downs, as well as her sensations. Yesterday J. M. llumphreys, agont for the G.R. & L. R. R. Co., attempted suicide by shooting himself in the forehead. He was at his post of duty at the depot as usual; nothing was surmised of there being anything unusually wrong. He went to his dinner as usual at eleven o’clock. .Aftdr getting home he lay down oh the bed for a short rest. Shortly after he called his wife and told her to get his revolver for him, as he wanted to take it to,the depot for the night watch. She got the weapon. for him, and immediately after her retiring from the room he shot himself in the forehead, the ball entering just above and between the eyes and following under the skin up about two inches to the. edge of the hair, where Dr. 8. T. Williams cut it out. The ball did not penetrate through the skull. Mr. H. has been using chloral to excess for some time. He simply gave as a reason for the rash act that he was tired o‘thli'\gng and wanted to die. Several of our sportsmen left Monday morning for the northern part of Michigan on a hunting expedition. As soon as they return we will extend an invitation to the editor of THE BANNER and the “devil” to come up and partake of a bountiful supply of dear (deer) meat.

The entertainment given by Miss Wakeman last Thursday and Friday evenings was highly appreciated by those who-heard her.

He left home some weeks ago, and the last they heard of him was about three weeks ago, when he wrote for money to be sent-to some place in Alabama. The money was sent, but still lies in the post-office unclaimed. The boy wrote that he did not feel very well, and the family fear that he has been stricken down with the yellow fever and gone off to: die by himself.

A lady from Spencer states that on Thursday a disguised man went to the house of a man living near the town, and finding the lady of the house alone demanded money. The lady denied there being any money in the house, but he insisted there wag, and seizing her baby, held it over the fire, and said he would roast it alive if she did not get it for him. This procured the money. He then said: “I believe you know me?” She making no reply, he said: “Yes, by G—d, you do;” and seizing her, was dragging her to the wood-shed for the purpose, as he said, of killing her with an ax,when a tramp making his appearance caused him to desist, but the tramp taking in the situation seized the scoundretand assistance coming he was arrested, and proved to be a near neighbor disguised and playing the tramp. - .

That party has staked its all on the resumption scheme which is to take place on the coming New Year’s Day; and if that fails, the party will soon become a nonentity and will be numbered among the things that were but now is not. But if,sperchance, they should succeed in putting their policy into active operation, what then? They. promised the people in the last campalgn that we were just reaching that -very desirable point called hard pan; ‘that just as soon as a greenback dol--lar became as valuable as a specie dollar, things would change, and everything become lovely; that prosperity would then commence and continue; that all would then be happy; that capitalists would then have confidence, and bring forth their surplus capital and put it jnto active operation. Two short months more will‘ either prove that this scheme is cor--rect or that it is a positive delusion, and the latter will no doubt prove to ‘be true, as we havealways argued and believed. How confidence can be es--‘tablished or trade revived by exchanging a.dollar in paper (which is the more convenient) for a dollar in spe- - cie (which is the less convenient) is more than we have ever been able to. understand. We have always argued and have ever believed that prosperity will never be returned te this peo--ple until we have our volume of cur- ; rency increased to a sufficient amount: to satisfy the demands of trade, and the people of this nation will never be satisfied and never stop agitation until this is done. =We need more ‘money and must have it. And assoon ‘as the honest, intelligent people -of this country see this resumption humbug exploded, they --wﬂ}théld the republican party to a strict account for. their failure in bringing &hé promised prosperity to the country, and also hold them responsible for all the mis‘ery they have caused in the land by enforcing this worthless scheme upon the people, and the result will be that in 1880 tll® once great republican par--ty—now .owned, held and controlled by the monied aristocracy of the land —will be totally annihilatedand dis. banded fordver. .
