D. D. Dykeman, of Loganaport, was nominated for Congress by the Democracy of the 11th district at Peru, last week.

The Tenth District Republican Congressional Convention at "Wanatah, Tuesday, re-nominated Hon. W. H. Calkins by acclamation. The Communist is in favor of a frequent division of property, except In cases where he has the most He is then in favor of every man's keeping his own. The platform ideas and all the arguments of the National Greenback Labor party may be summed up in this sentence, "Money worth nothing makes the country rich."

The rank and file of the Greenback party in Maine are deserting rapidly, moved thereto by the belief that they are being simply used as tools by a few designing leaders who seek office.

It is said that when Thurman finished his speech before the Ohio Democratic convention the chuckleheaded leader of the band struck in with "Listen to the Mocking Bird."

Keep it before the people that the party, calling itself "National Greenback," is the only party now in the country which advocates the destruction of the present greenback currency. "You are right as to the past, Daniel W. Voorhees." Greenback Herald. We publish a portion of Mr. Voorhees' record in another column, and not the worst portion by any means. We hope the members of the party will read it and see how they like what the Herald says is right. The National Greenback labor reformers are amusing themselves this

hot weather by holding congressional conventions and demanding the immediate repeal of the resumption act. The amusing part of the perfomance being that Congress is not now in session and the indications are that by the time it meets resumption will be a fixed fact, and the so-called Greenback party buried so deep that Gabriel's trump could not startle it into life.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION. The Duty of the Hour. Let every Republcan in Marshall County recollect that the Republican Convention for the purpose of nominating a County ticket will be held In tho grove In the north-east corner of the court house yard, next Saturday at 1 o'clock, p. m., and don't forget that every Republican in the county is invited to attend. If you are not there it will be understood that you intend to acquiesce in what is done by those who do attend. No man who fails to do his duty at a convention or at the polls has any right to criticize the action of those who try to do their duty. Apathy and indifference do more to ruin parties and governments than all other causes combined. Corruption could hardly exist in a Republic if every man did his duty by attending the conventions and assisting in placing good men in nomination, and afterwards went to the polls and voted.

But the men who take no interest in politics are the men who are first to condemn and denounce politicians when things go wrong, never stopping to consider that the fault lies at their own doors. If one third of the farmers of the country should sit down and let their farms grow up with weeds, never striking a furrow or lifting a hand to produce anything and a scarcity of food should be the result, they would not be tolerated in the community if they began denouncing the men who worked, and tried to avert the calamity. In this government every man is a free man and has his work to do in securing good government, and if he does not at least try to do his duty he is not fit to live in a country where the people rule. Let every man who wants good government and good men in office attend the convention Saturday. Don't say its no use, we can't elect any body if we try, etc. Remember it is your duty to try, and in so much as you fail to do your duty you are to blame. Let no man come to the convention with the intention of surrendering to the enemy if his favorite candidate is not nominated.

Remember that there are many good men in the county, and if your particular friends are not nominated now. and you do your duty by manfully battling for the success of the ticket that is nominated, the future will secure the reward of merit.

The editor of the Kkpi'ulicax suggests that wc call the HtraUl the Greeiiback Ihtriycr. Oh, no, Mr. Republican it was your pet financier, Hugh McCulloch, that was the Greenback destroyer. &reeiilck Herald. There now, gentlemen, you are badly mistaken again, and you will find before many weeks that a little general information is what this socalled Greenback party needs. Hugh McCulloch is not now, nor was ho ever the pet financier of the Republican; but he was the pet financier of nine out of every ten of the leaders of this party that, under the name of Greenback, is trying to destroy the best currency that this government ever had. On the 18th of December, 186"), the following resolution was introduced in the House: "liitolocfl. That this House cordially concurs in the views of the Secretary of the Treasury in relation to the necessity offa contraction ot the cur-ency with a view to as early a resumption of specie payments a9 the business interests of the country will permit; and we hereby pledge co operative action to this end as speedily as practicable." Daniel W. Voorhees, who the Herald says was right in the past, voted for this resolution. Only fortyeight hours before the close of the last session a bill to make greenbacks receivable for custom duties was defeated, after having passed the Republican Senate, by the votes of

members of this so-called Greenback party in the House. To-day nine out of every ten of the National

Greenback organs and every speaker of that party on the stump are clamoring for the destruction of all the greenback?. Secretary McCulloch, who, let it be remembered, is not a Republican, burned up forty-eight millions of them, and now almost every National organ in the land gives forth the cry: "Call in and burn up every greenback in existence!" and these men have the impudence to call themselves the "Greenback party."

inwardness of tho campaign unless it is reimbursed. Tho Democratic leaders have become alarmed and promise to pay him the amount claimed if he will keep quiet. He will not withdarw the suit until he is paid what he demands. The caae has boen postponed until the September term of court, when It will be tried unless the faithful como down with the cash.

The Pennsylvania Nationals have sold out openly and shamelessly to the Democracy, and the chairman of the National Greenback committee announces that their principal object is to elect a Democratic United States Senator. The combination will not probably accomplish their object, but the men of Marsh,.;.' county who have gone into this new party, thinking it the embodiment of honesty and principle, will probably be a little surprised ; but if they will look over the past history of the party and its leaders, they will find that it has been for sale at all times to any party or anything that could put money in the pockets of its managers.

The Greenback Herald of this place claims the victory won by the Kearney communists at San Francisco, as a triumph for the party represented by the Herald. Put that in your pipes and smoke it, ye members of the pretended Greenback party in Marshall County who have been getting on your ear when Democrats or Republicans intimated that you were in sympathy with the commune; and

recollect that Kearney is the repre-

Let Republicans from every township in the county come to the convention next Saturday, feeling that "right makes might," and that victory for Republican principles is certain. The Democrats and Nationals are uniting in many places in an effort to destroy the gieenback currency, and right here in Marshall county the socalled National Greenback, or " Fiat" Money party, which demands the destruction of the greenback curreney, has placed a ticket in the field. While It is hardly probable that any large number of men will vote that ticket, every greenback man in the county should rally at once to the support of the Republican party, the party that made the greenbacks and has maintained their credit until they are as good as gold. A party that seeks to destroy and driye out of circulation the present greenback currency,

whether headed by D. W. Voorbeea or "Brick" Pomero, deserves no

ni. rev at the hands of the people.

There Is trouble among the Democratic managers at Indianapolis. The chairman of the Democratic county

The Lack of Confidence. D. H. Pingrey, in Inter-Ocean. The various reports of the Secretary of the Treasury show that this government has paid annually for the past ten years $90,000,000 on the national dept. a parallel no where

found among other nations. So far as money is concerned, there is a plentiful supply, provided a good security can be obtained. The banks in our large oities to-day have money to loan, but cannot do it safely, because the borrowers have not good collaterals to deposit aa security. In fact an unnatural state of affairs seems to be prevalent, the cause of which none have found out. The condition of the crops throughout this land is excellent. We have been told from time out of mind that good crops produce abundance, not only with the agricultural class, but with manufacturing enterprises, and, in fact, with all classes; that agriculture is the foundation of all wealth. Well, if these things are so, why is it that business is so dull? Why is it

that our retail trade is so depressed throughout the country, and our wholesale trade in an unsettled con. dition? The cause of our moaetary depression is a want of public confidence. The farmer has no confidence in the merchant ; the banker has no confidence in the farmer; the muss of the people have no confidence in the bondholder. The rich distrust the poor, and vice versa. Money is lying idle in the vaults of banks waiting

for a secure investment. Business men are seeking for capital to carry on their manufactures, and, not being able to get it, succumb to the press of circumstances, and fall, drawing many of their creditors with them into ruins of bankruptcy. How to remedy this state of affairs is a question profound and difficult But the first step toward the resolution is what our Methodist brother calls "faith." Faith in our institutions, faith that we are coming out of this crisis now, and faith in the people, will do much to solve the question. But then faith without works will do nothing. So, if our moneyed men would have faith, and invest their hoarded gold and silver in legitimate enterprises, the blocked-up wheels of commerce would begin to turn, and the spindles of 10,000 manufactories would start, and prosperity smile upon us. The remedy Is to restore public confidence.

Senator VoorheesN Financial Record. Hon. D. W. Voorhees made a sjiecch at Schoals, in this State, on Wednesday, in

which he asserted that "the Democratic

party had always been the friend of greenbacks." A more impudent falsehood never was uttered. The Democrats in Congress opposed the first issue of green -backsjalmogt solidly, and the Tarty never

lost an opportunity in or out of Congress to discredit them. In this connection we

give Mr. Voorhees's individual record on

the greenback question. On the Cth of February, 1862, the

Housc.came to a vote on the proposition to issue $150,000,000 of United States notes, which should he a "legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, within the United States." The bill passed the House in this shape by a vote of ninety-three yeas to fifty-nine nays. Mr. Voorhees voted against it. Of the ninety-three votes in favor of the bill eighty-six were Republicans and seven were Democrats. Of the fifty-nine who voted against the bill thirty-eight were Democrat and twenty-one Republicans. In the Senate un amendment was adopted making the notes receivable for all public dues and demands "except for interest upon bonds and notes, which will be puid in coin." The bill came back to the House with this amendment, and the question of concurring therein came upon the 20th of February, 162. After some dw-u.islon tin: amendment "1" the Senate making customs duties payable in coin was concurred in by yeas 88, nays 55. Every Democrat in the House except two voted to concur in this amendment, Mr. Voorhees so voting. Gf the fifty five votes against concurring fifty-three were Republicans and two Democrats. Other amendments of the Senate were non concurred iu, and a" committee of conference was apointed. This committee met a similar one appointed by the Senate, and they agreed Umii the bill as it finally passed On the question of concurring in the report of the conference committee

imposed, which shall, with the tariff on imports, secure un annual revenue of not less than $150,000,0 JO." This resolution was intended to pro vide ways and means of supporting the government. It passed the House by 1&3 yeas to 6 nays. The nays were all Democrats, and Mr. Voorhees was one of them. On the 8lh of April, 1803, "a bill to provide internal revenue, support the government, and psy interest on the public debt" passed the House by 124 yeas to 15 nays, Mr. Voorhees voting in the negative. In April, 18t4, the House passed an amended internal revenue act to provide ways and means to support the government by a vote of 110 yeas to 39 nays. Those voting in the negative were the Democrats, Mr, Voorhees being of the number. On the 18th of December, 1865, the following resolution was introduced in the House : "Ifaolvtxl, That this nouse cordially concurs in the views ol the Secretary of the Treasury in relation to the necessity of a contraction ot the currency, with a view to as early a resumption of specie payments as the business interests of the country will permit; and we hereby pledge co operative action to this end as speedily as practicable." The resolution passed, Mr. Voorhees voting in the affirmative. We have only given those votes in which Mr, Voorhees appears on tbe record as voting. He was absent or dodged when many important votes were taken, but the record does not show that he ever cast one vote in favor of greenbacks, or in favor of raising revenue to support the government. He voted agaiust the bill author

izing the first IsaMM of greenbacks,in favor

of the Senate amendment making customs duties payable in gold, and against the

bill as thus amended. The Democrats in the House voted nearly solid against greenbacks in every shape which the question assumed. For Senator Voorhees, therefore, to set himself up as a greenback champion is an act of brazen audacity, and for him to say that "the Democratic party has always been the true friend of greenbacks" is an impudent falsehood clearly disproved by the record.
