ADVANcE INTELLIaENCE.-The Christian
Waterman, on the goth Of January, 1887,
under the head, Emancipation in the
West Indies" publishes extracts Of letter,
dated st. Johns, Dec. 2, 1884, which sets
forth in substance that "a trial Of four
months" had gone to establish the prac-
tlcabiIity, safety and utility of emancipation.
At this rate when may the readers Of the
Waterman expect to be informed Of the fact
that the experiment of the t,oenty. fom,
months, since the four referred to, has at
least answered the most sanguine cxpccta-
ton raised at the date of this o-years-be-

risk of getting redeemed and if he succeeded, of re-

from those for which the bill was originally received.
Arbitrary power can alter the coins OF nation al

most deplorable This portion of the commercial and

Under the revolutionary government of France came
INTO existence the famous system Of sssigndts What
were they? They conveyed right to the holder 10

they were payable at the Caisse de PErtraerdinaire
Like our own bank shinpasters, at the present mo-
ment they bore the promise their face but never to
be realized. As their value went down the value OF
ahe National Domains rose. Alteration after altera-

on the poor man. Indeed on him always fall the

The government too late was obliged to issue
,oHdats conveying the absolute transfer of specific
portion of the public domain TO the holder But
15dence was lost in these shinpasters. The holders
of assigndts cruelty deceived, for they could
not buy one manddt for an arpent Of land, with less
than 100 900 assgxdts Of one hundred francs each!

Times fingers here have left no touch,
For youth and beauty hold the sway.

The ringlets fall like light
Her rosy lips disclose a smile
She breathes in fancy's realms;
So do the fleeing hours besuiIe.

Like crimson cloud at even;
Too fragile far for earthly storms,

The furnishers of our currency, deeply engaged IN
extended commercial transactions and improperly
swayed by political motives refused on the lUth OF
Nav last TO redeem their notes. They did what the
French government did with the asssnats. 1t was
,ac,y admitted before this explosion, that the sepa-
rate interests of these corporations would prevent any
combination for the purpose of depreciatng the cur
rency, but the public wofully deceived. Eight
hundred SHIN plaster corporations, protesting to deal
in silver and gold, and to redeem their notes de-
mand, voluntarily came forward and refused to pay
their debts They wantonly violate contract to do
certain thing and impudently round and ask of
the injured party exemption from punishment.
The prayer is granted in many states to the shame Of
the delegates entrusted with the management of the
peoples concerns In other states they openly pro-
fess their dishonesty, and unblushingy defend it.
What is the effect of this most monstrous violation
Of all law, right, justice and morals? To flood the
country with irredeemable shin pasters-to excite
the cupdity of unprincpled rascas, and to enable
them TO cheat and swndle the community out Of
millions all because the legal shin plaster shops will
not redeem their promises to pay on demand the
value called for on their now worthless bits of silk
