SPEECH OF MR.. DAVIS,
OF MASSACHUSETTS,,
ON THE SUB-TREASURY BILL.
TContinued
In SENATE-Jan. %, 1910.

The Senator, in his argument, seemed tc
forget that the evils of contracting and
contracted currency bear as oppressively
of expansion. The difference is this in
expansion, the weight of loss falls on the
creditor portion-in contraction. upon the
debtor portion: but in either case it is a
grlevous calamity. He cannot reduce the
currency below what is necessary, with
out even more suffering than arises from
| too much
The Senator from Mississippi (Mr
| Walker) goes for the abolition Of paper.
The quantity OF specie IN the country is
not supposed to exceed about $85, 600, 600
This he argues would insure great reduce
ton OF wages and Of the value of property
which he insists will be beneficial The
Senator from Missouri (Mr. Benton) is
also for metal alone; and these gentlemen
have bestowed the highest encomums
upon the policy of the hard-money coun-
tries. The latter is enchanted with the
facts that the Hollanders have grown rich
and become great lenders of money, while
we are borrowers; and | will solve for him
this enigma upon his own Dciples. He
imputes it to gold, and infers that we
should be lenders if we had metallic cur
rency only. Who, Mr.. President, are the
lenders of Hollande Those individuals
who have amassed millions; who at one
time owned most Of this city. and who can
buy up empires with their boundless
wealth, having profited by state Of things
which made the privileged few rich while
the many are left poor-while the laborer,
as can prove, gets but his 3d. and 3D. a
day. This is the last policy we desire;
the last that would be in harmony with the
genius of our people or in unison with their
true interests. Ii is diffusive wealth that
we desire; general prosperity among all;
property scattered everywhere, attainable
by all that deserve il; and thus invigorating
successful business, in which all may
participate, instead of amassing it in the
pockets of a few: We are borrowers; be
it so. 1t is better, infinitely better, to Dor
row, and thus diffnse capital, to excite in
dustry and enterprise, than too amass it in
heaps and become lenders to nations, with
a nation of paupers at home.
But, sir, fear have dwelt too long on
these matters. and will hasten to notice
that for which chiefly rose. Much has
been said of labor, and what is it? | NAV
say, without offence, it is commodity

MUSINGS.

How sweely and how mournfully,
In some one hour of thought,
Come sweeing DER the pensive mind,
Scenes b..-gone and forgot,
And childhod's pleasant hours come back
Sweet hours of thoughtless glee-
Who would not wish in after life
From care 10 be as free
When memory, with her tear-marked scroll,
Each valued friend portrays,
We long TO meet them as they were
In childhood's artless days
Time, on the human countenance,
Works many fearful change
But the worlds from upon the heart,
Is deeper and more strange.
Oh could we meet, as once they were,
The loved of other days,
Ere they had learned to mask the brow,
And hate, cen while they praise p
When innocence and frankness dwelt
Alike, in word and thought,
And dark deceit and cautious care
Place in their hearts had not
All that we've joy too pure for earth
Ger the expanding soul,
The shades of darkness and of sin
So soon, so deeply roll.
The heart is hid beneath the veil
The cold world DER it filings,
And chilled is every stream of love
That from its fountain springs
The honeyed words from smiling lips
In softest accents flow,
And with affections brightest rays
The beaming eyes may glow;
And yet, beneath, the heart may be
Unfeeling, hard, and cold
Or burn with malice, scorn, or hate,
Unyeilding and untold.
Sincerity thou priceless gem +,
How dear, how rare art thou!
Oh giUe me truth, tho harsh the tone,
Tho dark and stern the brow.

The Kennebec Journal, in an article on
the Boundary Question, says: eff Mr..
Van Buren, had sent special minister to
England last year, when Congress author
lied him to do so, and had appointed Mr..
Webster, the whole affair might have been
disposed of before this. Why he did not
do it we never could understand, unless he
wished to keep the matter open so as to be
able to turn it TO some political account, or
unless MIR Fox had address enough to per-
suade him out of of it.''

OFFENSIVE BREATH. One ofthe most
common causes of bad breath is, neglect OF
the teeth and gums; causing the first to de-
decay. and the latter to become spungy.
and of livid colour, and to BLEED from
the slightest injury. To preserve, there
tore, the breath pure, the mouth should be
frequently rinsed and gargled with water,
especially after rising in the morning. and
subsequently to each meal; every particle
of food which has insinuated itself be-
tween the teeth should be carefully re-
moved by pointed quill or splinter Of
wood. and the gums frequently rubbed with
an appropriate brush.

The citizens of the u S. are as is we'll known, d.

the former, while Martin Van Buren, commands the

not distinctly drawn until the question as to the es-
