Col. Wilson'S Speech.

We publish in this issue a portion
Of tho speech Of Col. Wilson, on the
specie resumption bill. As it is a
matter Of local Importance to US al.
we hope the speech will be read with
care. by al Of our readers.
We are glad that Col. Wilson. not
only favored the repeal Of the specie
resumption act, but also that he "a
vored making silver a legal tender.
One Of the greatest outragos ever per.
petrated, was the act passed by a he.
publican Congress, demone,iziug sill.
yer. II was the most complete "sell
out" to tie boudholdsrl that could DO
imagined. By it. silver is no longer a
legal tender for debts, heIce the bonds
are payable in gold exclusively. and
specie resumption is gold resumption,
for gold is the only legal currency #
tie country, therefore the currency 10

for resumption. vi DO gold alone.
Thus the value Of the bond will be
fearfully increased. and We would have

The evils tina, arc pCrpetuating bard
times, are the resumption act. aud thi,
bill demonetizing silver; tho Housa Of
Representatives has repealed the frat,
and il remains to be ssua whether the
Senate will concur. As far ss this
wrong il concerned the Democrats have
done their duty, ii remains to bs seen.
whether tho Republican m4ori,y val

We have but one complaint to mako
Of the Democratic majority 10 the
Hourc. and lbat is the TACT tLat they
did pot pass the act remoretizing silver,
but iha repeal Of The resumption act
