The above choice chunkoF fiatic froth is taken from the editorial columns, in yesterday's issue, of the GAZETTK'S esteemed but delirious morning contemporary. It makes fine reading this bright and beautiful Oct6ber afternoon.

It is an awful pity, by-the-way, that a morn which broke so gaily should have wound up by breaking the back of the Notional Fiat party. "And now for victory.

SOME interesting figures will be found in the following paragraphs -Prices quoted are those in'New York, it must be understood, and not those at Terre Haute. 5" The Sun of New York says the tost of living is even less now than before the war. Rents are even lower than in 1861, and many articles of daily consumption were never at less price. Flour, prior to the rebellion, brought 15,50 a barrel, tmd is the same price to-day. Molasses sold at 53^ cents, and now sells at 55. Butter was a trifle under the present quotation* Coffee in 1S61 averaged 28^ cents and is to-day 20 cents. Hams were 9]^ cents, against i8J£ cents at present price. Fuel is now lower than then, and the average fpr cgal for 1S78 ie less than ever., ,,

RETURNS from the elections in Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, "West Virginia, and New Jersey all show that the Notional Fiatic party is nothing but the bag of wind the GAZETTE always insisted that it was. The tidal ave is an ebbing tide. It sweeps backward. They carry nothing. They are the under dog in the fight the hind horse in the race the dead cock jn the pit. They are the lest babe in the woods the old gray mare that will not come out,of the wilderness. Democrats and Republicans have paused in their controversy with one another, on principles of government, just long enough to knock the breath out of this impudent upstart, with a back sweep of the hand, Botn recognize that it tries to mike an issue of a question we, as an honest and thrifty people, ought to be ashamed todiscius. Both recognize that the corner stoneS4 of the Notional Fiaticf- 'J party is a, principle which ought to be^ti asjcpwell settled against the Fiatics as any of the fundamental propositions of the constitu tion. Now that it has been beaten down and crushed, we can goon with our little amily quarrel. Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, West Virginia and New Jersey, which voted yesterday, have answered Connecticut and Colorado, which voted several days ago. Maine, with its first and only Notional Fiatic Congressman, has been forgotten. It was tooMurch to remember. Now Democrats and Republicans will renew their old time discuisions.

THE GAZETTE'S esteemed, buterratkJ morning contemporary furnishes its Notional Fiatic readers this morning with a long extract from a lecture of Sir John. Lubbock on "The Habits of Ants." We thank it for this in the name of the industrious and thrifty people of Vigo county. The most marked habit of the ant is its industry. Our esteemed contemporary will remember that Solomon said "Go to the ant thou sluggard, etc.* If our Notional Fiatic friends have determined *1 not. to go to the devil, gas a good many have expressed a willingness that they should^ we trust they will go to the ant and consider its habits. The ant is a worker He shinnies around on his own side and earns his pies and cakes by the sweat of his thrifty little face. He doesn't stand on his hind legs at every street corner and jaw the Government?, He doesn't howl about his having been Shermanized He doesn't waste more time in reforming the Government than he does in mending his own fotruncs, if they happen to be broken.

Consider his ways. He is up with the lark and goes to bed with the sun. He talks but he works. Hu laughs but he labors* He believes in laying up real food and counts nothing on fiat fodder. He means business of all created things on the fair face of this big round earm' he is the very best thing for Notional Fiatics to consider. If they had con sidered the habits of the ant two years ago they would have saved themselves the enormous trouble td which they have been tq hold up the Notional party ju6t to see it knocked down.

REV. ANDERSON, 4!*

The GAZETTE salutes Rev. Anderson this bright and beautiful October afternoon, and congratulates him on the defeat of the party to which, in a misguided moment, he gave in his allegiance. We congratulate him upon the defeat of the bastard fiatic dollar, and the triumph of the honest greenback dollar, whose re. decirer liveth and lieth jn the vaults ol the treasury.

ji4 7/ _{

i^.i

We congratulate him that the fiat dollar was repudiated before ever it was issued. It would have been repudiated after its issue, and that would have ruined Kev. An .erson and all other 'poor but honest preachers, who work for a fixed or certain salary, if ministerial' salaries can be sa!d to be certain. We congratulate him upon the victory won for 'the greenback -i^which is worth its face in cit gold or silver,

and which is a sure guarantee to hifti that

week 'and still the contractors his $400 per yeai1 sa'arv will buy as much all through the year, and at the end of the year, as it would, and as he ex-

pecte it woald when he agreed to work 'for it. Rev. Andefson feels sore and bruised this afternoon, of course. That was to be expected. No one tekfes kindly to'defeat. But before many weeks have come arid gone, bringing dealing on their wings and balm to his troubled mind, he will find that this defeat was a victory that his overthr was a blessing in disguise, and will kiss the rod that smote him, while he exclaims, as the good preacher he is should "Not my will Oh I^ord, but- thine."

We trust his congregation Will not tV

harsh with him lor deserting therm We trust they will forgive him and say "Stav, but sin no more."

GENERAL WOODFORD, in a speech delivered at Jackson Michigan, gave the history in brief ot John Law's scheme of fiat money which delaged poor deluded France with a flood of worthlees paper. He said:

There was Louis, of Franee, the spendthrift, the Bourbon monarch, who got so deeply in deb^ that he invented a national party for his own accommodation. He got for his helper and adviser one John Law, of Scotland, himself a libertine fleeing from punishment in England. Law came to France and devised a scheme of paper money. He pledged for its security all the great tracts which the French King then owned ii the Mississippi Valley. He backed his money with these Mississippi lands. these twin patentees cf the the National party printed money, and they made law of France that it pay all debt, and that every man should take it in payment of debt. They started the printing presses and issued the money. There ought to have been prosperity, according to the National idea. Prices indeed rose. There was inflation. For a few years everything seemed to be going, well. Prices mounted to the skies. These were good times. They printed more. By and by men began to hesitate about selling, and prices went still higher. And the King printed more. Prices kept growing higher, and the King printed more. By and by the very bakers and butchers in Paris refused to take the stuff for meat and bread. The bubble broke, and France was bankrupt.

What was the result Who were hurt The rich were not. And why? Because as fast as the rich man got the paper money he bought more land he bought more houses. He paid it for labor. lie got rid of it. And the result was that when the bubble bVoke, the lahoring men of France had every dollar of the orthle6s money, and the rich men of France had every pound and every square foot of valuable property in the kingdom.

Then what other result came, sadly but 6urely, after The Reign of Terror! Louis' grandson came to the block, and the streets of Paris lan wiih blood.

AN extraordinary amount of hard' common sense is not infrequently to be found in the humorous character sketch, es for which the Detroit Free Press has become famous. For example, there is a whole chapter of political economy in the short one we copy herewith. The home'ly wisdom of Brother Gardner is worth cogtating upon. He says: "Dis mawnin', ez I was walkm' out 'mong the sunflowers in the back yard" began Brother Gardner, as the janitor of the Lime Kiln Club finally got through sneering, "Mis6er Green, the white man, come 'long, an' dere was a powerful sad look on his face ez he leaned over the fence an^d said: 'Misser Gardner, dis sufferin' has got to come to a cease I' .. 'Hez ye got de "shakes'4ari' clulls,' I axed. "'Wuss dan dat, Misser Gardner, Ize workin' all de long week for ten shiilin' a day an' whar de, money all goes I cant tell. De cle woman wants new close, de chillin wonts dis an' dat, de rent mns behind an Ize gittin'desprit.' 'Shoo! now, but lets make some figgers on de fence,' I tole him. 'Now, den, you chew terbacker?'

'Say twelve shillins, an' d.\t makes two dollars an' ninety-five cents per week. I recon you fro'w away at least free dollars ebery week, sah.' "'Frow it away I' 'Yes, sah. Dat money would pay your rent and buy your flour.' 'But a feller must hev 8jnie comfort.' "De tame, sah. De greatest comfort in de world am- to see de rent paid up, de family dressed up, de table loaded down, an' de ole woman able to go to church. You frow away free dollars eberr week, sah, an' den ybu go roun' cussin de times, de wedder and de man who hez 6aved his money." tV "Gem'len, dat white man called me an old black fool an' a dog-stealer, but dat didn't alter de case a. bit.

THE FIAT MONEY

The "fiat money" is out and ready for distribution. The bill is of the same size as the greenbacks of large denominations, and is handsomely printed in the same color*. On its face ia printed: "Swindleville avenue, Washington city, July 54 1SS0. Absolute money, lor the sum of ondl thousand dollars remeedable nowhere, in nothing, and by noboiy The law directs that this, money shall circulate freely. ,When this note has bean spent another may be had upon application at the United States Treasury. [Signed.] Brick Pomeroy, Treasurer B. F. Butler, General Distributor."

At the bottom of the bill occurs the 1 ne, "Eternal damnation to 'any man who reft^ses to take this bill at par for all debts," while at the top and to the right of the vignette, the bill is stamped "B series, 59.843902,086,231.957, a *mbrtgagre on all the property in the United States." The vignette alluded to consists of a cornucopia^ from which is issuing a human skull and bones.

AN OLD DEMOCRAT. WAS KICKED OFF THE FIAT TICKET.. Phillip \V obiter, the National flit car. didate for Cimn.issioner from the First district, was kicked off of the ticket b/ the committee.and his opponent, a person he hJd beaten in a fair race before the convention, was 'put on in his steacl. Mr. Webster ha.I formerly been a Democrat, Rankin, who wouldn't heat him before th6'convention but could Jbefbre the Central Committee had teen a Republican Webster was kicked off because he had been a Democrat. This' is only important as showing that the managers of the party in this locality are hostile to the old Democratic party, and are unwilling to trust old Democrats. Tliey fought against the Democratic party in the past working with t'.ie Republican party during all the years when it was enacting the la.vs which they in common with the Democrats now profess to oppose, but which they favored when the Democrats were engaged in trying to prevent their enactment. By weakening the opposing forces now, to the extent of their small ability tfiey are playing into tl.e hands of the Republicans. All old Democrats ought to see this.

This new party, whose leaders are all ol-i Republicans, like .Butler, fo example, a«k them 'N- to leave the Democracy,' which opposed the enactment of obnoxious laws, and can be relied upon to repeal them, and to follow after them. The kicking of Webster, who was an old and tried Democrat, off of their ticket, show? that they are afraid of the men who have a consistent record of opposition to Republican laws. The placing on their ticket in his stead of an- old Republican, who belonged to $'jthat party.,- .during all the years when it passed these laws over the opposition of the Democrat® gives excelent cause for doubting their sincerity and good faith. As Republicans they deceived and defrauded us. Having been detected in their outrageous purpose, and having lost the ability longer to deceive the honest people of the country under thg old organization and by the old name, they get up this new organization, which intended to hurt the' Democracy, whether it elects its own ticket or elects the Republican ticket by getting old Domocrats away from the party which always stood up for their views. Mr. Philip Webster's eyes have been opened. He has'learned that Democrats are useful in the Fiat party as voters, but are not expected to hold any offices. They can pull chestnuts out of the fire, but they must not expcct to eat chestnuts. That is reserved for renegade Republicans, who ate not tinctured with any of those old conservative doctrines, which made the Democracy a power in the land from tf.e time the union was established ui\til the present 'iay. Fall into line Democrats CIOSP up the ranks, guide right, eyes to the front, forward march, and let's rout the enemies of our party, hrtrso, foot and dragoons.'.'-1 iil-K
