sinking fund required Wy law, and

1 am not a believer in any artificial
method Of making paper money equal
to coin when the coin is not owned
or held ready to redeem the promises

more than promises to pay, and is
valuable exactly in proportion to the
amount Of coin that il can be con

renoy OF the country is not convertaa
BILE into it at par, it becomes an
article Of commerce as much rs any
other product. The surplus will seek
a foreign market, as will any other
surplus. The balance of trade has
nothing to do with the question.
Duties on imports being required in
coin creates limited demand for
gold. About enough to satisfy that
demand remains in the country. To
increase this supply 1 see no way
OPEN but by the Government hoard
ing through the means above given,
and possibly by requiring the national
banks to aid.
1t is claimed by the advocates of
the measure herewith returned that
there is an unequal distribution OF
the banking capital of the country.
I was disposed to give great weight
to this view of the question at first,
but on reflection it will be remem-
bered that there still remain four
millions Of dollars of authorized
bank note circulation assigned to
States having less than theiR quota
not yet taken. In addition to this,
the States having less than their
quota of bank circulation have the
option of twenty five millions more,
to be taken from those States having
more than their proportion. When
this is all taken up, or when specie
payments are fully restored, or are
in rapid process of restoration, will
be the time to consider the question

The Republican Platform.
Executive Mansion,
April %. 1874.

The principles of the Republican
party conform in the main with these
of Jefferson, the man who, of all
others, has ever been regarded as the
true representative of that party
He was the representative in Con-
gress of 1776 He was the leader
and representative in 1900; he was
it's true representative in 1872; he is
the true representative of the Repub-
lican party to-day. We stand upon
his doctrines, and we fight for his
principles. We stand upon no Sec
tional platform ; we present no
sectional issues, but issues as broad
as the whole country, North and
South; and will not allow mohopo-
lists of either section to control its
administration and so shape its
action as to subserve the interests OF
the aristocr&t;c few; and the man
who is led to believe otherwise, sim
ply allows himself to be deceived. In
1869 the South became so intensely
sectional that it united as one man,
and undertook to destlo y the Union.
1t met with no countenance from the
Republican party, and that party
stands prepared to-day to frown and
crush out sectionalism, whether it
originates North Of Mason
and Dixon's line or south of it. The
true Republican party Of America
can not die; the organization and
name and members may sometimes
change, tho party itself is as eternal
as truth, justice and freedom. It's
leaders may betray or desert its
principles, and for a time arrest its
onward march, but it will reorganize
itself, casting off the men and con-
ventions that would mislead it, as the
eagle changes, or the tree it's useless
foliage. Go back to the Revolution.
1t organized spontaneously in the
Boston tea party; it organized upon
principle; il went for the. freedom of
the colonies upon the land; it carried
it through, organized the Govern
ment, and then dissolved its own or
ganization.
In 1900 it reorganized itself again,
and under what circumstances! 1t
was when the Government under
took to punish, under
the aalien and sedition laws" such
men as wrote articles derogatory to
the character of the President, and
denouneing the manner in which the
affairs of the nation were administer
cd. Then it was that the Republican
party of 1909 recognized under the
lead of Jefferson and came to the as
sistance of the public press. After
preserving the liberty of the press it
remained organized until it fought
the war of 1912 for the freedom of
the sea, when it again dissolved

John Dwire of Wolcottville, went to New Haven the other night and put up at hotel. He blew the gas out, went to bed, and fell asleep immediately. Af- ter while the boarders began to semn a smell, and democrat on the fifth floor stuck his head out to inquire if the bottle containing B. Butler hadn't burst. Su- peranuated bed-bugs dragged themselves from their feathery fastness, sniffed the air, then folded their legs above them and passed to better land. Finally the whole house, with the exception of John, be- came aroused, and as nobody seemed to smell very bad. individually, the landlord naturally turned his attention to the sleepy scion of Wolcottville, who up to this time had no idea that he was destined to kick up such stink. After pounding the door for some time without receiving any response, policeman climbed Tn through a window, turned off the gas, and after a good deal of shaking aroused Dwire, who was nearly suffocated, to sense of hls importance in this world and entire unfit ness for the next. They seated him on the window stool clad in scanty garments and instilled into his mind wholesome les sons mingled with mild reproaches and expressed doubts as to where he would go to if he ever blew out the gas again. The fresh coolness of the night ar soon restor- ed him to vigorous activity and he is now none the worse for the experience. Win- Sted Press.

An open sea had formed to the south side of Austria sound. After unspeakable toll and wandering about the party reached the ship. finding it in it's original condi- ton. A third journey, to the west, prov cd the extent of Zichy Land beyond the 46th degree of long, ". This was shown r Co boK land of mounfain ranges, travers- ed by numberIess dofds, and reaching it's eliminating point in the peak of RichthofS en, 5000 feet high. On the 20th of May the return was resolved upon. Every care was now with q view to reaching home, an event the prospect of which was indeed gloomy. After the untenableness of the ship, and the judgment of the surgeon made She return . duty, the vessels crew took leave of 1t, with four boats carried on sledges. ta
 The seriousness of this fabulous sound ing, wonderful retreat beggars all descrip- ton. It ;s sufficient to mention that af- ter two months of unheard of efforts, the expedition had got but two German miles (nine English niles) away from the ship. But at last matters changed in their favor % that in the early part of August the party escaped from ths drift ice, and by the 18th of August had come into open water, in lat. 77 deg. fl min. north.

 Aside from the discovery of unknown and extensive countries in the heart of the Arctic polar region, the results of the Austrias expedition are of the greatest importance and bearing for the further ance of our knowledge. The dr1ft-conrse of the Tegetthoff, highly interesting in every view. gives promise of the weight jest developments concerning the nature of the current. During the two years of wintering very important observations in the natural sciences, especially in mete- Orology and magnetism were made, whereby hitherto perplexing blank was filled up. m r07
 But not alone the higher sciences-the history of civilization is indebted to the success of this expedition. It has once more furnished the most convincing proof that . little handful of bold, self-sacrii- cing men, animated by glowing zeal for science, prevails in struggle with inf nite dangers; and this only to labor for the enrichment of human knowledge, and thereby to erect for themselves the most beautiful monument of pure intellectual endeavor.
