H condition of things la truly alarming ,
| j for unless it be changed quickly and
j thoroughly , free Institutions are
doomed to be substituted by an oligarchy
garchy , retting upon % basis of money
and corporate power , Ever/ farmer
in the west is boud hand tnd foot by
the manacles rf monopoly corpora
tion ! . The p/escribed value of his
hard labor ar.d his crop is absolutely
at their Viercy. Who proposes on
either si jo to protect the just rights
of th'jj great agricultural commu-
n"y with twenty five millions of pop-
"LatioL ? The corporations not only
levy toll ciitbo industry of the farmer ,
but every blanket with which their
children r < s warmeo , their plough
shares that turn the soil , and the
nccesary articles of household econo
my are taxed by exorbitant
tat iff for the profit of monopoly. How
can resutance be sucaesifully made
against corporate power when both of
the great parties are organized and
run es close corporations ? When
leading newspapsra , recognized as re
publican and democratic organs , are
owned and directed by prasping mo
nopolies to snbserva ihelr selfish
Bv-'liemea , and to restrain opposition
to them in cither party. Their only
politics is greed of gain. One party
retains possession of the government
for a quarter of a century by methods
which would long ago condemned it
to crnihing defeat but for the errors
of democratic leaders , always commA %
td at the worst time. 'For long * 0a"rB
past the republican party has Quieted
upon sectional agitation , ' jQ by e
follies of its opponents There are
hundred * jf thous J(1J ( o { pura and
patriotic men ir , oih organize ions
who are. ter/iered
: wholly powerless
by the -machine management of each ,
* nd crlio are politically ensla.-ed by
* BP > lers who necretly unite whenever
p venal object ii to be gained by a
combinitlon. "Regular nominations
are dictated by professional politicians
and irresponsible caucnsea , dictated
by A few ambitious leaacrs wno cpu-
trol state and mnuiciphl politics.
They put up candidalts , coi.struot
platforms and proclaim patriotic punj
ciplei In fine phrases , which are mere
shams. Practical reform is imposn
bio on a large scale , while one hun
dred thousand offices and the pitron-
an :
Hge , represented in lomo five hundred
millions jof annual receipts and ex
penditures , are offered aj the prize of
success. * The parly disciplined and
led like regular army his the most
advantage , which Is scmewhat crippled -
plod by the bitter rivalry of
its chief. Unfortunately for the
democratic party , a prejodlce exists
in the northern mind that It was hos
ille to the Union during the ci 'il war.
The faot that tens of thousands of
democrats , many of them , too , from
the slavs holding slates , nobly volun
teered their services for and offered
up their lives In the defense of the
old flag , doea not effect this belief.
HA Whllo that prtjadice oxlstr , the
chances for the democratic pirty are
limited , however patriotic tta pur
poses may | be. If the moro name
oo shonld be abandoned , the republican
party would die from want of an op
position that now reeks to keep it
us alive. A national party , founded on
, harmony between all parties of the
Union , on reform of abuses , economy
in public expenditures , rigid account
ability of r Shore , honest civil service ,
free and fair eletion , upright ob
servance of all constitutional obliga
tions and the maintenance of public
credit , would ' be gladly welcomed by
the people. Republicans and demo
crats alike reck to be emancipated
from the vulgar despotism of this mi-
chine , which is common to both par
ties. There are choaring signs that
the end of this dominatoin draws in
popular dem nd for good government ,
without reapcct to purty. Ring rule
must be overthrown or it will stop the
wheel of progress and destroy tha
foundation of social order These
opinions have Ion ? been entertained
a by me without the lent desire for

WASUINUTON , April 12 10 p. m.
The secretary of the treasury has re
ceived telegrams from several national
banks , accepting the terms offered in
his notice yesterday relative to the G
per cent bor.de. Several Individual
bank holders of G per cent bonds
called on Secretary Wlndom yester
day forenoon , and informed him to
day by telegraph that they will not
present their bonds for redemption ,
but will allow thorn to continue , ac
cepting the rnto of 3i per cent Inter
est. It will ccsl but very little to is
sue the registered bonds in place of
the sties to thosa who desire to eon
tinuo at 3A per cent. The registered
bonds will be printed from some
plates that the original bonds were
worked off The only change io
the boHd will be the stamping on the
back , the condition under which it is
issued. Tht bureau of engraving
and printing has been ordered to pre
pare bonds in conformity with the
plan of the department. Another
point in favor of the treasurer's scheme
the fact that the redaction of the
rate of interest does not carry with it
any specified time for which the rate
of three and a half per cent , will ba
pai'j. As the revenue of the treasury
will permit , the secretary can pay off
at Mill any of the bonds of the nan
' .can. Certain time * hat it should run
vouid have to ba specified in issuing
he bonds before making the impor-
ant step that ho has. Secretary
Vindom received assurances from the
argest holders of maturing bonds that
hey were perfectly willing to retain
hem at three and a half per cent.
) hese atsnrances had great weight In
haping the policy to be pursued. The
prediction is freely made that before
oncraaa meets in December , the
700,000,000 of the sixes and the
ives , with but little aubstraotiou from
he full amount , will have been prac-
ically refunded. The rate of inter-
st , three and a half per cent , fixed
> y Secretary Winaom , is the same
hat the republicans In congress urged
hen the \etoed refunding bill was
under consideration. As regards the
ale of 5104,000,000 of fours or lour
md one-hdUs , jutnonzed by law , it Is
not thought that they will bepujtvoTi
ho market unless it should he found
o realize on them in carrying 01 pol-
cy determined on in dealing with
ives and sixes. If Is believed at the
reasury tint th's eurploa revenues
will be ( ufficiunt to psy of all called

WASHINGTON , April 12 L s * than
a quorum was present when the ae
ate was oilled to ordnr at noon. The
uiuil motion to proceed to considers-

side pttsed , requesting th eecretnry
: jf sUte tc forward to the senate any
information not inconsistent with pub
lie interest , in regard to the allayed
confinement in t foreign prison of
Michael Boyton , an American citizen.
Senator Beck then took the floor
and made a speech in defense of hie
position in the minority He pro
ceeded to i > ive his opinion on the coal
ition batwoen the republicans and Ma-
hone. The courtesy of the fceuti'o
would not allow him to tell inst w aat
he thought , but he hoped to go. into
the Virginia canvas : , and Vflen ho
would give his entire opinion of the
bargain , the share of which the re
publicans had received to ms > ke a
proper return for what they were try
ing so hard to ret in. If the demo
crats believed the republicans were
trying to consummate a corrupt bar
gain , they would do right to oppose it.
If such opposition tfaa based on an
other i.lca , the country would judge
the case and probably keep them at
home hereafter. H denied the re
publicans' claim that they had a con
stitutional majority or even quorum ,
as would be shown , should the demo
crats becDmo disgiutod with the fail
ure to have the regular business at
tended lo , and retire from the cham
ber in a body.
Senators Burnaido and Dawea re
minded him that Mr. Davis had voted
with them on the prnsont issue.
Mr. Beck replied that.tho senator
from Illinois might vote for the con
sideration of the resolution for elect
ing officers , but never for the officers
proposed.
In answer to an Inquiry by Mr.
Merrill , Mr. Beck said the democrats
had made no programme involving de
sertion of the field. He had m erely
tried to show what might be.
After some further disultory re
marks , the seiiete adjourned.
