The PEOPLE 81 lhis State have s holy and
sacred duty before them, and We sincerely
hope that they realize it. That majority

Administration. as well Is the course being
pursued BY the leaders ofthe Loccfoco par

without the struggle, jealous and vigorous,
which it demands from the hands of the
pure, the peaceful and the eternal right, is
responsible for the issuel
There are few. we know, to whom politi-
cal duties are pleasant. The grubs that
feed upon and destroy the roots of a peO-
pies prosperity. doubtless wriggle in their
corruption with reptiles sense Of enjoyment.
But the duties of patriotism to the mass of
the people are bold and pure and stern, and
need moral constitutions fitted to breath lie
inspiring air which is nearest Heaven. We
ask this. al tbs. from tie Wings and Union
men of this State. Weask vigor. diligence,
attention to every duty. even the minutest.

which he owes to his principles. who sleeps
over a consciousness that his own vicinity
has not been aroused to the call of the coun-
try. We hope that every whig, every I'M
ion man of the State will realize that the
responsibility of this contest rests upon him
And especially do we trust that the young
wings, those in whose bosom our Country
is cherished and mirrored without faint Of

elevate him to a station where he will prove
himself an honor to the State.

mo Danger from the Catholicsl',

mo Danger from the CatIlOlics!''
So say some respectable Old fogies. Why,
they say;do You imagine that the Roman Cath
olics Of this country, would ever interfere with
the fundamental principles Of our Constitution
Do youthink that they would attempt to sup
press liberty Of speech and the presto per-
secute Protestants and prevent them from meet

their own conscience Do you think that they
have any desire to establish the aHoly Inquiri-
tom in this land, that has generously given

Well, friend, how much testimony will be
necessary to convince you that the leaders Of
the Papal Church do really think Of just such
amendments to our Federal Constitution, and
just such changes in our governmental policy,
as will secure these ends? Ifthey openly Off
cially avow this to be their desire and purpose,
do you really think it means nothing! Is it
merely little flourish to tickle the Pope and
Cardinals. md signifying nothing!
We wish, for your benefit, to put two or three
little things together, and ask what they indi-
cate. "The Shepherd of the Valley" Ro-
man Catholic paper, published in st. Louis,has
good many plain articles on what the Pope,
in one Of his encyclical letters, cailedthe Eek
ecrable doctrines of liberty of conscience and
freedom of the press" In one Of these articles,
amid much more of the same sort, stood out
this sentence:

Is not this tolerably plainl "The Shepherd

by some Catholics, too, appeals to his Bishop
for authority for his doctrines. Whereupon

the following certificate of approval:

Does this certificate mean to authorize as or
thodox the doctrine that the Catholics mean as
soon as they "gain the escendancy" to sup
press areligious freedom" So the redoubtable
editor Of "The Shepherd of tie Valley" thinks
and claims.
He has lately published card in the secular
papers of St Louis, declaring that the obnoxi-
GUS matter, which he has published, and for
which be has been roundly rebuked by some, is
thus approved as the doctrine Of the Papal
Church by it's head in st. Louis. He rebukes
these timid Catholics who squirm under the
open ayowal of their own system, and winds
up with this emphatic reafirnation of his senti-
msnts.
awe have told the truth, and nothing but the
truth. and it is not fair to sacrifice us to the
prejudices of ill-instructed and timid Catholics,
or of heretics, whose delicate nerves bold

Shock
We have not the slightest objection, that the
sShepherd of the Valley" and the Archbishop
of St. LOUIS if they think the time. has come
for suppressing religious freedom, should just
attempt to "try it on" We are ratEer mistak-
en- in the character of the people of this coun-
try, if when the trial is made, something else
is not shocked beside delicate nerves. That a
press, so infamous as .The Shepherd of the
Valley" is permitted to disseminate its treasons
against the government of this country, SO
openly and impudently, argues well for the pa
tience and love of the "freedom OF the press
of the citizens Of ST. Louis.
We hav, no doubt that @The Shepherd Of
the Valley" tells the truth. We believe him
to be the faithful expounder of the doctrines
and designs Of the Papal Church in this coun-
try. All that his church have right to cen
sure him for, is that he is a little premature in
the public ayowal Of these principles; and if
when the time comes for the attempt, we are
unprepared to meet it, it will not be because
we are unwarned.

market at this season of the year During the months
g April and May and October November tile sales
" VIII average 800 week. and 500 week THROUGH
nual sales. - s's '"-
The general opinion is that all the horses sold this
season will average $l75 very few, compared with
the whole number, are sold for less than sl0O.-
Such as are below that sum in value have no bust
ness here; their owners should keep them at home
he kind of horses mostly required for this market
are strong substantial animals suitable for doube
or single harness
There is large demand for class of horses suit
able tor public carriages and light wagons these
must be docle, and capable of making mile or two
at rapid speed. Great eaters are not appreciated
in a city where all kinds of food are sold mt such
high prices here.
These three classes are the horses which range
from one to three hundred dollars each To bring
the latter sum they must be very superior Very
few except fancy horses, sold at prices over two
hundred dollars
1t is said that horses generally 10 per cent
higher than last spring, and 80 per cent. higher
than three years ago The market for the past
week has been unusually dull for this season

Russian Coinage and Currency.

Russian official document, just issued gives the
following statistics of the coinage and currency of
the Russian Empire
From 1926 to 1851, the total value of the gold
and silver mined in the country was 285 769. 600 sill
yer rubles, the rubIe being about rs cents Durns
the same time there imported the amount of 1879
$4,000 ubles, while only 1850 900 were exported.
This leaves total of the precious metal introduced
into the country, and remaining there of 267l4, 900
OF which 1926 900 have been sent to the mint at
st. Petersburg. Of this sum $40 900 900 rubes have
been col ned for circulation 707 900 been converted
into medals, and 80, 1862 900 into ngots. But this
does not give the total of the money in circulation
We must add to the amount given above as coined,
the amount in circulation prior 10 1926. From 1864
to 1862, there were coined 900 rubles in gold
and 9O,135, 900 in silver total of 92.58O 900, all of
which has since been Withdrawn from circulation. -
During the reign of Catharine H., from 1862 to 1896
1898, 900 were coined in gold and 7O,94l 900 in sill
yer; total sc $4,000. Under Paul, from 1896 to
1901, 100000 in gold and 1OOl8 900 in silver or in
ALL 1887 900; of these two reigns the gold coinage
has been almost entirely Withdrawn from circulation
because the coins were intrnscaly worth more than
their nominal value Of the silver about third or
1000 600 rubles, remain in circulation. During the
reign of Alexander, from 1901 to 1926, 49, lac 900
rubles were coined in gold and 10 20 900 in silver
giving total of 1853 Al 900. About II ZOO, 900 oil
the gold, and $1,000 900 of the silver of this reign
remains in circulation. During the reign of the pre-
sent Emperor, Nichols about one third of the gold
coined or 900, and one-sixth of the silver OF
$4,000, 900 has been withdrawn. The grand result
arrived at is, that there is at present in circulation
within the empire not less than $40 millions of rubes
minus the 100 millions depositdd as security at thu
bank which leaves $40 Millions or about 1870 mil
lion dollars.

IN the town Of W, Massachusetts, powerful
uk of grace was not long since enjoyed Old and
wDg rich and poor, the moral and the profigate,
iee subjects of its power. AS is often the case in
asOns OF REVEALS the hostility of the wicked was
nu8ed and their vituperations poured upon the
nying people of God At the commencement of
work, nine young men banded together to oppose
work of grace. They formed sort of associa-
ion, having certain rules, adopted by general con-
res to attend every meeting, but for the purpose
making light of religion. and in whatever way
hey could, wounding the feelings of Christians.
Evening after evening this band was seen to enter
