cent remarkable movement in making himself strength among backers and he is fear to disappointment The following from the Grand Rapids National Enquirer shows pretty well what the Greenback estimate is of Thurman and is at the same time a suggestive hint to the Democrats who think votes are to be got by conciliating the Senator Thurman who hopes to become the Democratic standard bearer in 1880 has the audacity to claim that he has been a consistent advocate of currency reform for the past nine years Unable to stem the strong current set in against the money power he now indorses the aggressive Greenback platform adopted by his party the other day at Columbus and proposes to take the stump in Ohio to expatiate on the soundness of its timliers He sees that there is no living hope in the future for a pub lic man who clings to the skirts of the money power and abandons in a moment the convic tions of a life time We indulge in this deserved comment of Senator Thurman and his present position at this time because we feel it our duty to want rhe currency reformers in advance that it is part of a Democratic scheme to win a hard money triumph under false colors The East ern leaders know that they will have no show in the next National Convention of the Democ racy and they are centering around Thurman ho has stood by them through thick and thin He will talk plausibly to the Western people and all the machinery will be sot inmo 7tion in his interests But the man cannot be trusted by the friends of currency reform and we hope the Greenback Democrats will enter the ranks of the Nationals at once now that it is apparent that even the party in the West is secretly working to give aid and comfort to the monopolists Tei lab of fall Ryi je A 11C i hl IV 1 ril 'It The

prophecy on the part of the Republican press and lead ers concerning an expected lack of harmony in the Democratic councils to morrow but there is little other foundation for the prophecy than the Republican wish Driven to despair by the defections from their own ranks the sole hope of the Republican managers is that the Democracy by dividing may play into the hands of the numerically weak faction which still clings to the Republican name The fact that the Republican leaders are building on this hope is not only one of the strongest argu ments against Democratic division but it fur nishes one of the best possible guarantees against such a division Whatever latitude individual Democrats have allowed themselves in speculating upon possible platforms and however widely these speculations may differ the Democracy as a whole is far too shrewd to adopt any course which is commended solely by the approval their opponents So long as there is any choice of roads the road which our enemy desires us to take is the one to be specially avoided We do not mean to intimate that because tho Republican party is aching for a division in the Democratic ranks delegates should come together without any opinions or that they should hesitate about a free and full expres sion of the opinions tjiey hold out of a slavish fear of play ing into Republican hands But we do mean that the spectacle of a Republican party anxiously awaiting some persistence in opposing opinion by which that party can prolit adds another and an exceedingly strong reason to those already existing for

SAVING WHICH SPEAKS OR ITSEL On the first Monday in December 1875 a Democratic House of Representatives assembled in the Capitol at Washington The people hail tired of the corruption and extravagance of the Republican party and had intrusted the control of the purse strings of the country to Democratic hands The Democratic House was confidently expected to enforce economy in expenditures and it began the work with a will It was met at the beginning with the statement that the fields of governmental ex penditure had been so closely cropped that nothing more could be done and in all the had to contend with executive opposition grapple with a pernicious method of admin istration beat down a hostile Senate intent upon keeping fat pickings for political friends and upon giving the adminis tration unnecessary millions to squander with the utmost recklessness Efforts were made to thwart it and discredit its work in every pos sible way At the threshold of its inquiries in every direction it was met by the curt state ment that economy can lc effected and it was compelled to depend wholly upon its own judgment It will be remembered that not a solitary reduction was made in the num of supernumeraries in any branch of the service without a protracted howl lieing tent up therefrom to be taken up by the Republi cans in Congress and echoed all over the coun ruined as the There is a very general disposition among Wisconsin Republicans to crowd Tim Howe off the Senatorial track Still Howe labors under the delusion that the people want him to repre sent them another term colonel

279830580 28 Difference 56557081 35 Here we have a reduction in the two years in which the Democratic House controlled appro priations of more than one sixth from what they were during the preceding two years The Republicans boast of what was done in the same time by a Republican administration in the way of refunding the debt It appear from treasury statements that for 1877 8 not being official that during the ears 1874 5 and 1875 6 the pay men ts for interest were $203336000 while for the succeeding two years they were $197120000 showing a reduction ctf $6200000 in favor of the latter This is a reduction of one thirty third from last year or relatively considerably less than one fifth the reduction the Democratic House made In other words the reduction made by the Democratic House in two years by reason of economy in expendi ture which it insisted upon was nine times as great as the saving which was effected by Re publican management of the national debt during the same period irst day 20c per irst tolunw lt But if the question be entertained it should be fairly understood that those who propose the substitution of greenbacks and the adop tion of a resolution to that effect have the affirmative on both points and are bound to make their points good on both It is for them to show not only that the substitution is desira ble feasible and lawful but that it is so nat ural a result of and outcome from Democratic principles that the Democracy as a party is Ixiuiul to sanction and approve and urge it ailing to show this they have no right if in a minority to demand any action on the point found and had a my imposed crats in the House pursued their work patient ly and persistently They pruned off excres cences which through Republican corruptions had grown to frightful dimensions and in stituted a wholesome order of economy They found a loose system lire vailing and the laxity and disregard of law in expenditures to call it by no stronger term proved a source of in finite trouble to them left as they were with out assistance from the other branch of Con gress To this day in fact the unlawful ex penditure contracted by one of the members of that administration has proved a trouble some legacy and in justice to innocent suffer ers by jobliery a large appropria tion had to be made at the last session The fiscal year closed on the 39th of June last and with it the books were posted for ex penditures under the appropriations made at both sessions of the orty fourth Congress with the army appropriation made at the spe cial session of the orty fifth Congress What savings have been made as compared with the preceding two years when appropriations were last iraxie by a Congress Republican in both branches is shown by a comparison of the ex penditures of tho government aside from in terest on the public debt for the fiscal years 1874 5 and 1875 6 on the one hand and those for 1876 7 and 1877 8 on the other We give these below premising that the expenditures except for the last fiscal year are as taken from the inance Report for 1877 while those for the last ear are as approximately correct as can at present be given from Department and will not vary amount stated REPUBLICAN YEARS SI 20 per inch Some of the Republican journals in New exhibit symptoms of chafing under the inkling rule but the great man thinks he putting forth last session of energy to de sharp stick Referring to a sinecure which Pitt would not take himself but did not object to some one else having Gail makes this sharp comment finding an excellent illustration in one of Mr Hayes foibles There was no more civil service reform in his act than there is temperance reform in Presi dent peculiar policy of banishing wine with Spartan sternness from the table where he presides as host while drinking it with cos mopolitan grace at any table where he sits as guest Mr Pitt may justly lay claim to the possession of an enlightened and far seeing self interest and not even his bitterest ene mies can deny that President Hayes has demonstrated by novel and brilliant example how hilarity may be tempered with frugality but it is beating the wind to claim in either case

of Minnesota is Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations and by virtue of his position ought to have some qualities cf statesmanship about him His Congressional record however shows that he is utterly lacking in such qualities and he has supplemented this deficiency by an exhibi I tion of miserable demagoguery Not having made a speech on the appropriations in general before the adjournment of Congress nor hav ing obtained permission to print such a speech in the Record he put himself in the way of an interviewer of the New York Times to whom he unburdened himself to the extent of about three columns the beginning of which was de voted to a studied attempt to deceive those who read the interview tha body of it to a justification of the large appropriations added by the Senate to the Sundry Civil and River and Harbor Appropriation bills and the con cluding portion to another attempt at decep tion The character of Vue man is shown in his statements respecting the appropriations of the last session He is fijst to charge demagogism upon the Democrats of the orty fourth Con gress yet he makes a great song because the appropriations of this year are greater than the expenditures for 1S76 In the beginning of his interview he appropriations this ear are and the expenditures for 1S76 (which weru appropriated by a Repub lican Congress) wce only etc In the concluding 7rtion of his interview he says that netrdinary expenditures for the years 18i5 am 1S7G being those ears for which appropriations were made by tho last Republican Congress amounted to $336387 561 one half of which is $168193830 The first half of the orty fifth Congress has already appropriated $172009589 which exceeds by more than 84 000 GOO the average one half ex pended for the years 1875 and Ne exception is taken to Mr fig ures They are official But exception is taken to the tenor and intent of the statement He states facts with the deliberate purpose of con veying a false impression The care with which he discriminates between appropriations and expenditures clearly proves this He does not and dare not say that the net ordinary expend itu res for the current fiscal year will exceed those for the fiscal ear ending June 30 1876 or for the average of the two fiscal years 1S74 5 and 1S75 6 No man in the country knows lietter than Senator Windom that they will not

men bear this in mind in the public will confound the words appropria tions and expenditures he endeavors to insin uatingly convey an impression which he dare not openly create He strives by underhanded means to accomplish that which could not be done by an honest and fail statement It is natural for persons unaccustomed to finance reports and the method of Congressional appropriations to be misled as Mr Windom intends they should be The ordinary presumption would be that the amount given in the published state ment of ordinary equals that of the appropriations but the re verse is the case The reason is that in the former no account is taken of the postal re venues which pay more than seven eighths of the postal expenses and which will amount during the current year to upwards of $29 000000 while these revenues are included in the appropriations Without the postal re venues the appropriations for! the current ear foot up $143000000 or $21000000 less than the expenditures for the last year for which appropriations were made by a Re publican Congress I If Mi mdom had not been a demagogue he would have said that notwithstanding an extraordinary appropriation of $5500000 for tlie fishery award and notwithstanding the large appropriations made for deficiencies accruing prior to June 30 1S76 for which a Republican Congress and administration were wholly responsible the appropriations for 1878 9 are considerably smaller than those for the last fiscal year for which the Republicans made appropriations and that the average for the last two for which the Republicans made appropriations exeeecled 181425000 or nearly $13250000 more than the average net ordinary expenses for those years and nearly $9509000 more than the appropriations made at the last session although they included be tween $801)0000 and $10000000 for the fishery award and for deficiencies incurred prior to Democratic control deficiencies too which if they did not involve downright stealing came within hailing distance of it in some cases But the miserable demagogue of a Windom prefers conveying a false impression to stating the whole truth nil siilu no Landgrave rei ki King

morrow worthy of the name Among all the utterances of those who call themselves Democrats be construed into a demand for an irredeema ble currency and the most of this class stoutly deelare themselves opposed to any paper money not convertible at the will of the holder into coin This certainly is the vital point in the currency problem and if the convention should decide there is any occasion for declaring itself in respect to the currency there is not the slightest reason to anticipate any difficulty in finding a conimon ground upon which all Dem ocrats can act in unison If there is any question concerning which there is likely to be protracted discussion it is the sub titution of paper money issued by the government for the national bank bills There ougnt not however to be any persistent disa greement even on tins point There is nothing the history traditions or principles of the Democratic party which gives the convention the right to make acceptance of the substitu tion doctrine a test of Democracy and there is nothing in the present emergency or the atti tudes ot parties which calls for the adoption ofany resolution opjxising substitution There is not even tlie poor excuse for meddling with the question that votes are to be won upon either side Certainly no Republican will ix attracted to the Democratic side by a resolution opposing substitution No1' will any National so culled be attracted by a resolution demanding substitution In each ease the platforms of the parties respectively are quite strong enough to suit the members and in the case of the Nationals there has been so emphatic a repudiation of coalition that any attempt on the part of the Democracy to bring about coalition either directly or indirectly versary of the accession of the
