The Cause and the Effect. Extract from the speech of -Ocn-. Ewing at Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 5th. We commend the following to the careful attention of every voter: Fellow-Citizens: In the Ohio campaign last fall we were told by the Republican "orators and newspapers that the pestiferous agitation of the .currency question, by" -the Ohio Democracy, prevented the vountry from recovering from the panic of 1873. and that if Hayes should triumph business would promptly revive. He was elected, but every month since has brought increased depression of production and trade, and of all val

ues throughout our land. Wheat, corn, wool, cattle, horse almost every product of the field have fallen greatly in price. The mills, furnaces and factort-es, then idle, are idle still. nd the tires of thousands more are quenched. Wages are fallen, and the ranks of the unemployed and half unemployed are donbled. Men embarrassed then are bankrupt now, and thousands then in fancied security are now struggling on the ragged edge of insolvency. Tvo thirds of those engaged in business are losing, and most of them keep on only because, like Mark Twain's horse, they can't stop without foiling. The newspapers of 13hio would not hold to-day a tenth part of the" notices of sheriffs sales if unpaid debts were pushed for collection ; and a general confiscation -of property of debtors is only delayed by a lingering "hope of better times, when their property may sell for their debts. This generation of men in America never looked back on so 4enj and distressing a prostration of business; never saw before them a prospect so utterly hopeless. Forced sold resumption the cause of business depression. What is the casse of this widespread distress and insolvency ? "Over production!" cry the Republican orators. Over production of what? Not of the fruits of the earth, for that caKses tio,; distress. Is it over production of shoes, when half the workingmen's wives and children are barefoot? or of clothes, when they are in lage? Since the panic in 1S73, production of manufactured articles, so far from having increased, has falleu oT enormously but consumption has decreased still more, because almost everybody is "hard up" because immense numbers of workers are out of employment, and a majority ot those still employed are on halt vrork or half pay, and cannot buy the oommoTJ recessties of life . Even before the panic, of the thousands of articles of domestic manufacture wo protlnoed no more than the people were able to buy and pay for, with the single exception, perhaps, of railway iron and supplies : and no more than would bo manufactured and.'piid for to-day bat For one perfectly obvious cause the legislation of the Republican party in changing the metallic legal tender from gold and silver to gold alone, and tn forc ing payment of the currency and of -debts in that higher-priced com. . ADDITION- OF GOLD EEMITJM TO DEBTS. ' The chief mischief of this legislation does not lie in merely adding the difference between greenbacks and gold, and silver and gold, to all debts, public and private,, which "may be paid or collected after January 1. 1879, and to all taxes collected in or after that year; that ia mischief enough : it is an addition of oyer ten per cent, to all such taxes, local and national, and over ten per cent, to almost ail such debts, public, corporate and private. The aggregate of indebtment in the United States, including the national debt, is estimated by your fellow townsman, John G. Deshler, at over eleven billions of dollars (an estimate two billions below that of Senator Jones, of Nevada), almost every dollar of which is by contract payable either in greenbacks or the standard silver dollar. This rascally change of the money contemplated by the parties when the debt contracts were made is a clear addition of ten per cent, to those debts a robbing of the masses of at least eleven hundred millions of dollars, and a gift of the spoil to the holder of money securities GiREA'i'Eit EVILS OF FOIiCED GOLD RESUMPTION. But. gigantic as this wrong is, it is far surpassed by others involved in forced gold resumption. If the currency could be let alone, and this ten per cent, be added to debts and taxes, the business of the country could possibly go on without great apparent depression. But the scheme of gold resumption necessarily and obviously involves a cor. traction of the currency to about dite-third of its present volume ; and the inevitable result of that contraction "will bo the shrinkage of all values of land, ami labor, and products to less than half their former value, and tno consequent aoubhnf oi the burdens of debts and taxes, fol lowed by the bankruptcy not only cf debtors, but cf nearly all of moderate means engaged in. business; by tbo Casting out of employment of millions of men, women' arid children dependent on daily wasres for daily bread in short, by sacrifices and sr.iferlng., necumoiatins from month to month'";we approach resumption, which, It Lno exaggeration to say, will sarpai-;, in the aggregate, the myriad lossc and woes of the war itself. -

GREENBACKS TO BE ALL REDEEMED AND DESTROYED. Let me explain how the resumption law involves so large a contraction of the currency, resulting in tueh enormous mischief. It requires the Secretary of the Treasury to "redeem" each greenback in gold on demand, on and after January 1, 1879. What does "redeem" mean? It means in this law to ta'ke up and destroy. Mr. Morton is now telling the people of Indiana that the

Secretary rnav reissue the redeemed' greenbacks. That is not the construction given the law by its authors and administrators, and Mr. Sherman, who is its draftsman, will not saj' so The same law provides that the fractional currency shall be "redeemed" with silver, and the Secretary of the Treasury has taken up several millions of it already, and has burned the currency so redeemed. That is what he must do -with the greenbacks when redeemed, for the law authorizes but one redemption. Any other -construction would do violence to the plain purpose of the act, and involves the absurdity of authorizing the Secretary to keep on reedeemmg and reissuing, thus increasing the bonded debt indefinitely, and making him the permanent supplier of gold at par in all vicissitudes of demand throughout the world-. No, fellow-citizens, the law was intended to take up and destroy every dollar of greenbacks in order to put the whole currency of the United States in the control of the money power through national banks, now or hereafter created. THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT THE GREENBACKS REDEEMED. But.it is said that when gold can be got at the treasury for greenbacks the coiuers wm not present inetn in any large amount for redemption and de struction. It is undotibledly true that the people don't want them redeemed. They don't want gold or silver in place of them. They want to keep and use them as money. They took them from the government gladly as money, and not unwilling as a forced loan, as is asserted by the gold rerumptiomsts. The people know them to be, as General Grant described them in his message of 1873, "the best currency thatf has ever been devised." In -all our broad land there never was a public meeting demanding their cancellation, except one of National Bankers at Syracuse and one or two of brokers in New York. The peop'Je never complained of tbeir volume as excessive ; on the contrary, they resented and stopped forced contraction in 1S67, and were content to let tbem rise in value by the gentle and natural operation of industrial forces, until they have already reached and passed par in the silver dollar in which they -are of right redeemable. GREENBACKS ALREADY &OARDED FOE REDEMPTION. But the pledge of redemption in gold has already to a large extent taken the greenbacks from the people. They are hoarded in banks and other institutions in the East awaiting the day for redehiption and destruction hoarded from the double motive of re alizing the premium (which itself is till interest of near five per cent per. annum) and of avoiding the risk of investments or loans at this time of general impending bankruptcy. Bat you may ask, why will all the greenbacks be presented for redemption after they becomu payable on demand in gold ? Simply because there is a constant and enormous demnand for gold, to pay duties, interest owed abroad, transportation in foreign vessels, and expenses of foreign travel. These yearly demands far exceed the whole volume of the greenback currency. The Treasury will be the reservoir, from which the supply will be drawn, until the greenbacks have b?en wholly redeemed and destroyed for each note will be an order on t; a Treasury for so much gold, which r ust be paid on demand, or the Gov t- nraent will go to protest and dis t ;aor. GOLD WILL NOT CIRCULATE AFTER, RKSUMPTION. Viiecolleot, fellow citizens, this is not the substitution of gold as a currency 1 i place of paper. Not a dollar of it r ceived for legal tenders will go into r. tnal circulation. A part win be in i t rcepted by the banks as a redemp:a fund lor their notes, but nearly d will be shipped abroad. Our anial tehipments of gold and silver for , e years past have averaged sixty .11 Ions. Which is many millions in cess of the whole coined products , our mines. This drain will not be opped by accumulating gold for reinntion for while the causes contme it can not stop and as tha gold , paid out by the treasury or the inks, it will flow abroad with the irrent,- as the water forced through e hydrants of your city finds its ay back to the scioto' and follows a kindred waters to the sea. -t::uction-of fart ok bank circulation. Hero then is provided an absolute -h:1 inevitable destruction of over If our present currency, and that ie best and costless half. But this is nt Ail tho contraction. The banks re already anticipating the impossi!jv of maintaining a coin red era p -of the whole of their present cur

rency for redemption in greenbacks will be practically redemption in coin when resumption day arrives. For t h i 3 reason, as well as to secure the present largo currency premium on their bonds, which will be greatly reduced after resumption, they are rapidly surrendering their circulation. The contraction fron this cause, from the passage of the redemption law to June 1, 1S76. had reached the immense aggregate of 57,250,000, as appears b3r a report of the treasurer of the United States or 3,500,000 a month. The present embarassment of the banks by failures of their debtors adds to their desire to realize the premium 'on their bond, and thus fortify themselves against depositors. It is estimated by the comptroller of the currency that the contraction by retirement of bank circulation wilt reach SlOO.-OOO.UtfO this year. How much further it will go can only be conjectured, but it is safe to say that the banks will not risk resumption on over 200,000,000- to $2o0;000XJ00 of currency. Here, then, is a contraction involved in the execution of this law of all the

greenbacks and from $100,000,000 to 3150,000,000 of the present bank cir culation being full' two-thirds of our present currency. EFFECT OF CONTRACTION ON VALUES AND INDUSTRIES. It necessarily involves a corresponding shrinkage of all values of property and labor, and a corresponding rise in the purchasing pawt'r of 'money and monev seennt'ies. While troou are tailing every merchant loses jji-j profit, it not part of his capital. So with the manufacturer, the 'producer and stock dealer and every man en gaged in production or exchange. When doing a losing business ttuy can employ few laborers and pay only very low wages- The money capitalist shrinks from borrowers engaged in a losing business and from investment in property when tailing in price. Hence each holder of money becomes. a hoarder, refusing to invest until property has ceased to fall, or to loan until business shall grow remunera tive and loans therefore safe. This stoppage of its life blood is the cause. of the general -and increasing paraysis of business. It is leaving debtors without sale for property to pay debts; producers, and exchangers without credit to carry on business; and is driving hosts of wilting workers to forced idleness and want. GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE. All hope of a revival of business in the next three or four years, if this legislation shall stand, is utterly in vain I he contraction by hoarding and by surrender of bank issues, which has already occurred, has not yet produced a tithe of. the disaster which the full execution of the Resumption Law will inflict. Ours is a hopeful.'conrident, self reliant people, disposed to look on the bright side, and to assume in any embarrassment that all will come right. They have generally ho just apprehension of the results of the Resumption Law, and are, therefore, but little alarmed by it. As its effects shall be gradually realized ; as the screw turns each month and the vise grips harder; as man after man of the great workers, like your fellow-citizen, Mr. Brooks who has fed thefires of prosperous industry from Buffalo to St. Paul, drops down insolvent ; as the murmur of discontent is followed by the cry of despair from the swelling ranks of unemployed laborers, the money now lent in circulation will disappear, and with it all confidence, hope, order and settled industry. The Party Lash. Sovereign, West Virginia. Greenback. The greatest enemy to a Republican fo t ni of government is the party lash. The man is no longer free who allocs party bias to prevent his acting in -accordance with the dictates of his conscience. The. mass of both the Democratic and Republican parties are satisfied that the present financial policy is ruinous to the country, but hesitate to join the ranks of the Independents because the office-seekers and rag-tag and bob tail will call them sore-he ids and turncoats. Shake olT this fear. . Be nie:i, and stand among men as men. If you ftrs in favor of an honest currency for a 11 --4 he same kind of money for the plow-holier that ia paid the bondholder Trdift? out and join the fast swelling ranks of tha Independent Grsenback party. If yon are la favor of ihe ruinous construction that IinS caused starvation fd stare many of you in the lace, vote with your party, ba it either Republican or Democrat. It makes uo difference which, as both stand npou the same platform both are sold, body and soul, to the money kings of America aad Europe. - The Democratic Financial riank. . Ewhig's Speech in Convention. It denounces only one clause of the resumption act bt one. fixing the time for resumption thus by i m plication leaving all the rest to stand as unquestionable. The construction, to this will be that the Democratic party wants resu mpiitfa earlier than 1870. Another objection is that the resolution as reported palters with the question f which it treats. It commits the party to reduction of greenbacks and perpetuates the national bank system, leaves the secretary of the treasury, perhaps with the p)wer to issue gold interest bearing bonds, and lock up gold awaiting tho day Cf resumption, a policy to winch the Wt-stern Democracy are almott unanimously opposed..' The resolution of the committee supports' by implication a bill for which the Democrats are not responsible, a measuae which never received a Democratic vote.

Bobbery of the People. Youngstown (O.) -M.'rning Star. The villainous act of lc?d- by which the old silver dolla; (the unit of value) w3 dropped from the list of coins and its coin asre prohibited, provides in section 3,511 that the "gold coins of the. United States shall be a one dollar piece, which, at the standard weight of twenty-five and eightieths grains, shall be the unit of value." Prior to this, from 1792, the silver dollar had beon tb.e Yinit of value. Here ii 53 changed from silver to gold. Why was this done? When the holders of our bonds bought them, the silver dollar was the unit of value and a full legal tender in payment of all debts, therefore the bou-ihokierS .wotiM linve been co-rnpelied to receive the silver dollar in payment of the bends. Silver bad depreciated and they wished to get gold for their bonds, and took this rascally plan to get it. But. now follows the i n fata ens villainy vhtch we started to expose. They changed the weight of the gold dollar from twentythree and two tenths grains, to twenty-five and eight-tenths grains! Not content with robbing the peapie by compelling them to pay the bonds in gold, but they add two and sir-ienth3 grains to thn weight of the gold dollar. Had it not been for this change in 1873 the greenback dollar would have been worth as Tsuch, or more to-day llian a gold dollar. The scoundrels nvho perpetrated this outrage are the very men who are now clamoring for honest money. If justice were Uone.t hey would be in the peHttea-tiary.

Ihe Taunt of the Bloody Shirt. Gen. Harrison at Grecnsburg. For one I nerept the "banner of 'tha bloody shirt. I am willing to take as our ensign the tattered, worn-out old" gray shirt, worn by some gallant Union hero, stained with bis blood as he grave up ka lifft for his country, and shoulder to should-? er, elbow o elbow, stepping to the miiSlc'cf fhe old dram tfips, we wili move forward, eves front and oar faces to the foe, to victory again under the hallowed barner of "the bloody shirt." Let those who deiire march under the bUck flag of treason or the white flag of cowardice ; for me, I accept with pride the '-bloody shirt." Not by th s do I mean that we desire to perpet-. uate the bitterness of the war; but so long us the Iepocratic paty prefers to honor those whose only claim is their record of hostility to tha Union, and so long as they Continue to taant us for fidelity to tha country, jast so long ve will march under the -bloody tsLirt.'' When they purge tLc-ir party of t he leprosy of secession, and present candidates whose records a'e fair during tha 1in.es when the country noe-led men io maintain its honor, then we will bury the 'bloody shirt" in the-gravs with the honored corpse who were It, and not before.

There would be just as much propriety in furnishing ten thousand dollars worth of leather, or iron at the ex pen so of the people of the State, atid then hiring two Professors, of Shoemaking and B'acksmithing, at $2,510 per year to teach those trades. hat do you think sbottt it, tax-payers? Why should you be taxed to pay for fitting out in business men who prosper and. fatten upon your misfortunes ?
