The Programme for To-Day and
Tomorrow.

There were not more than two hundred
and fifty persons in attendance at the noon
prayer meeting yesterday. After several
SONGS had been sung and one or two pray
ers offered, Nj. Bliss said be had a very
large number Of requests for prayers, the
reading Of which would occupy the entire
hour set apart for the meeting. He said be
had arranged and classified them as follows:
Four for mothers, two for sisters, ten for
brothers, two for husbands, eleven for sons,
six for daughters, two for other relatives,
twelve for friends, two miscellaneous and
one for 'myself."
DR.. Kelley stated that he had just re-
ceiVed letter from an old army friend who
for long time was given up to a sinful
life, but had been for the past four years a
Baptist Minister. He requested him to
have prayers offered for his little daughter,
aged nine years who was out Of Christ.
DR.. Baird said he had received a letter
from an old lady in Kentucky, who de-
sired prayers offered for her wicked son.
Mr.. Bliss read two requests, one from a
lady who said she had once been a good
christian, but was now a very bad sinner
and wanted christians TO pray for her. The
other was from some members Of GER
tain church who said that they had tried to
seek religion, but that they were not en-
tirely satisfied.
After a few remarks from Mr.. Bliss, DR..
Kelley complied with the many requests.
Remarks were made by DIS HOyte and
Baird and a gentleman in the audience
upon the subject Of prayer.
A large number Of persons rose for pray
ers 70. their unsaVed children, and when
A. .1aI 60 eF,
Verted to signify their desires to- be saved,
fige or six rose.
The meeting soon thereafter closed.
THE BIBLE HEADING.
The afternoon meeting was we'll attend
ed, notwithstanding the rain which COM
menced to fall some time before the services
began. Singing and praying were engaged
in by the audience for some little time
when Mr.. Bliss commenced the Bible read
ing by stating that the subject would be,
"FolloW ThCC Me-" He quoted from the
following texts, the audience reading al
ternately with Mr.. Bliss:
Luke 2: Z; Luke 9: IS; John Z: 42; Mat
thew %: II; Hebrews 4: 16; Ephisisns
6: IL to 10 inclusive; John 4: TiJOhn .: 2,3;

He commented briefly upon each text,
showing the necessity Of following Jesus
Christ through suffering, temptation, death,
and finally to glory.
The meeting was prOtracted for some
time after the regular hour for dismissal on
account Of the rain, a number Of the people
falling TO bring their umbrellas with them
While they were waiting, several songs

SPECIE PA YMENTS.


FIVE are to have specie payments let
It be a fact, not pretense, ending in
disappointment to the bankers lying
promise to pay goIl, We are told that
we must get to hard-pm by contracting
the currency, and that as the volume Is
reduced really its purchasing power will
be proporLionately increased; in a word
if one-half the currency is retired the re-
naming half will buy just as many yards
of cloth or pounds of steak as the whole
would have done If this be true, there
is no need to eke out the hundred mil
lions of gold we have with bankers notes.
promising to pay gold, which are sure to
prove false in the end. If we are to 90
to hard pan let it be pan so hard that
we shall never again hear of such a
thing known as robbery by bank notes!
Let us have but one kind Of dollar, SO
that there can be no cheating, no Jug
Cling. Everybody knows that there is
not gold enough to serve as currency
to transact the business of this country.
Hence the proposition to return to specie
payments, stripped of its plausible, gilt
tering generalities, isa proposition that
certain private individuals and corpora
tions shall be permitted to issue circulat-
ing notes under the false pretense that
they are and always will be able
to redeem them in gold. This assump-
ton, proven false thousand times, has
still been coined into phrases and passes
current in the newspaperand in cOEImon
talk. That "a paper dollar should be
worth a gold dollar" means simply that
in the old fashioned specie basis times
the banks had forty or fifty millions Of
gold in their vaults: and TWO or three
hundred million dollars in notes in cir
culation. So long as the people We're
silly enough to act upon the presumption
that they could geta gold dollar for II pa
per one, by not seeking to do it, the tic-
ton of equivalent values was maintained
but not moment longer!
Henry Dunning Macleod, Esq, M. A.,
Of Trinity College, Cambridge, has given
to the world the most profoundly philo-
sophie work of modern times on the
subject of banking and currency. He
says:
The simplest and most perfect form of
a currency is that which represents moth
ing but transferable debt, and in which
the material is of 10 intrinsic value, such
as paper, it is only when States have
reached high degree of civilization that
States adopt this perfect form; before
they attain that the material of it entirely
consists of something which has intrinsic
value, such as gold or silver.
We have this simplest and most
perfect form of currency" in the green
back.

LABOR AND WAGES.

OF the papers read before the British
Association at the beginning of this
month, one of the most interesting was
areport from a committee appointed two
years ago to consider the combinations
of capital and of labor. The English pa
pers gives somewhat meagre summary
of this report, from which we learn that
the general question before the commit
tee was whether combinations, either Of
capitalists against laborers or Of laborers
against capitalists, can affect the rate of
wages permanently The committee an
swer no, as was to be expected. They
admit what is claimed by the trades
unionistists, that the efforts of the unions
have at times and in some notable cases
succeeded in extorting higher wages
from employers; and Professor Leone
Levi added that the unions had in some
instances been able to accelerate the
operation of natural laws, but that also
their acts often checked production.
On the whole, the report, il we may
Judge of it by the summaries at hand, is
incOnclusive, and so far weak. 1t ex-
presses no decided opinions on some of
| the most vital and interesting parts of
the labor problem. The committee hesi-
tates to condemn restrictions on produc-
ton where these have in view the rais-
ing of prices, and the most important adj
vice it has to give is that employers and
laborers should advise with each other,
aud conduct their affairs amicably.
That is perfectly sound advice, but it
does not cover the ground. Nor, indeed,
did the questions before the committee
have scope enough. The difficulties be-
tween capital and labor are greatly in
creased, if they are not mainly caused,
in England, by overproduction, which
causes periodical gluts in the market,
stagnation in trade, ,stoppage of mills and
works and lack of employment. The
real problem before the civilized world is
how to carry on the great opel ations of
industry in such way as to make them
constant to relieve them from the peri
odical losses inflicted by over produc-
ton and stagnatioL. 1t is doubtful if
even such wise bodies as the British As
sociation or our own Social Science Asso-
cation can contrive any "Morrison's
Pill" to use Thomas Carlye's phrase, for
the disease of the industrial world. But
a careful inquiry and investigation, made
by the leading economists of both con-
| tinents, would be of extraordinary value
as he p toward the solution of what is,
on the whole, the gravest problem of the
present century. Few thoughtful men
are content to believe that industry must
continue forever. to vibrate between fe-
verish activity and panic stagnation, and
that the millions'of hborers must of ne
cessity remain the helpless sport of cir
Cumstances. The trades unions have in
purblind way sought some remedy,
but, on the whole, they have rather ag-
gravated the disease. In this country,
for instance, they neither did anything
to prevent the present deporable stagna-
ton nor are doing anything o remedy it.
We hope the British Association will try
again, and we should like to see it appeal
for help to the economists of the United
States, Germany anu France. .. r,

A BROKEN FAMILY.

Mr.. John $. Simmis, an eccentric old
gentleman Of the town of Crawford, some
two years ago bought metallic burial
cases for himself and his cat, dog and
niece, so as to have them handy in case
of death in his family. Hq has had no
use for them until last Friday, when his
beloved Grimalkin, pride of his heart
Caterwauled her life away, being mean
while fondly embraced by the old man.
The burial case was brought out, the cat
was placed in it as tenderly as if it had
been the remains of some beloved child,
and the old man went into mourning.
We understand the interment took place
yesterday, and we also learn that the dog
is in delicate health, and his death may
be looked for at any day.-NeVburg 1e!e-

MEDINA COUNTY.
MR., GLADSTONE ON WAGES AND
PRICES.

Mr.. Gladstone in recent speech made
careful statement to the effect that he
bad no doubt wages during the last 80
years had risen more than prices. Says
the London Economist "There is no
one more entitled, as an economic au7
thority, to have his opinion recorded
than Mr.. Gladstone, and it is very posi-
lively on the side which we must all
wish to see established. The satisfac-
tlon felt at the great growth of business
and wealth during the last thirty years
would certainly be much qualified if the
condition of the laboring masses had not
improved greatly. On the theoretical
question of the rise of prices, it is also
most important TO have the record of Mr..
, Gladstone's opinion that this rise is much
exaggerated by common report, that
there are many important articles which
have fallen in price, and that what gives
rise to the talk of the difficulty of living
being greater than formerly, is a rise IN
the scale of living. We believe this is
the conclusion of the best economists
Ind statisticians who have given atten-
ton to the matter but Mr.. Gladstone's
STA erhents should help to diifuse it
among those who do not specially study
these subjects, and are apt to reflect
hastily the superficial opinion"
