SUNDAY, July 10, 1888.
The leading feature Of AFFAIRS In Wall street last
Greek was the advance In gold to IA on Saturday
against III q on Monday. The Immediate cause Is
traceable to the efforts of a speculative clique
operating for rise, but the upward movement Is
based upon the steady outward now OF coin during
the last four months and the attendant high rates OF
foreign exchange. We have already advocated
much higher tax on gold sales than that at present
imposed, namely, one dollar on every ten thousand
in currency value. and it remains for Congress to
cake up the subject before the adjournment The
shipments OF specie for the week aggregated
92o9l3s, making total Of $751; s54 since the 1st
Of January.

For Dictator, Frank blair.

General Blair has made n bold bid for the
Democratic nomination. From thc Coppcrhead
point Of view. it is the best bid vet made. John
ron bids mulish opposition To everything that
loyal men want. Chase bids the acduittal of n
law-defying President. Pcndlcton bids rcpudia-
ton made easy. But Blair bids revolution. with
himself to head it.
Revolution is what the Copperheads want. \
government that supIresses rebellion and DESTROYS
slavery they would like To overturn. Only they
have n Christening remembrance of the interior of
forts and prisons. and of the uncomfortable sound
of lead while being dispersed through the air.
But for these recollections. they would fight ut
once-aitcr Wards style, by sacrificing all their
wives relations.
General Blair declares that If nominated he
will head n revolution. constitute himself dictator,
and make the rebellion victorious bv force of
arms. In plain terms. he proposes. If the Demo
Gratis will back him, 20 be a greater traitor than
Davis or johnson, To- complete the rebellion which
Davis led, and to tear up the laws which johnson
vainly vetoed. lie proposes to nullify. as Presi-
dent. all of the laws which the Democrats dislike,
and to make over the United States 10 their salts
faction. His cool proposal to disperse with armed
forces the lawful and established governments of
seven States j. the most infamous thing ever vet
suggested by an American dcmagOgue. lie will
reply, we know. that he would not do il unless
assured by n Presidential election that a majority
of the people were ready 10 approve the act. But,
whether it should be done by General Blair,
Dictator. or by the people themselves in person,
it would be n trampling down of all law, an
armed revolution. Not even the majority of the
people of the United States have n right to dis
perse the State governments Of New York, Mis-
souri, or Illinois by armed force, and Arkansas,
Florida and Louisiana are in the very same sense
States, Will governments legally established.
We really wish the Democrats would nominate
this impudent proposer Of armed revolution. and
90 before the people on that issue. The election
in November would then put an end to the rebel
lion, the Democratic party, and the Blair family,
at one stroke. Ii would be the best days work
ever done in this country. But the Democrats,
though they privately mean just what Blair pro-
poses. have not the hardihocd to say it. Only a
ruined political gambler could hazard such n dec
~laration. The party will nominate some coward,
and General Blair will discover IN due season
that he has dishonorcd n once respected name for
nOthing.-GSi. Louis Democrat, July 4fh.
