looks upon the proposition 10 re-
monetize silver only as 8 scheme to
''cheat the creditor" Now, of the
two, is not the debtor more unfor-
tuuste than the creditor? If it is
eQuslly wrong to cheat q debtor !?
The Journal knows, every sensible
man in the country knows, that ev-
erything has been steadily depreci-
atiDg in value except money, and
money has been steadily apprecis-
ting. Debtors may have large
amounts of property in lands, hous-
es, mines, goods, stock, grain, etc.,
but, in the opinion of the organs of
the money power, the rights, inter-
ests, and prosperity of sill who own
such property are to be ignored, and
the rights and Interests of those
whose wealth is in money are alone
to be consulted. The money own
ers are alone entitled to sympathy
and protection; the land. owners,
the merchant, whose wealth is In
goods, the farmer, whose wealth is
in grain and stock. the mechanic,
whose wealth is in machinery and
its products-all these, constituting
nineteen-twentieths of the Ameri-
can people, in the opinion of the
money power and it's organs, have
no rights which men whose wealth
is in gold, are bound to respect.
The true summing up of the
whole case is that the money power
of the East wants more than its con-
tract. It demands its pound of
flesh and blood. 1t repudists 'coln,'
and demands gold alone. 1t is this
'fagrant breach of faith" as repug-
nant to sound policy as it is to pub
lie morals, against which the almost
united voice of the country indig-
nsntly protests, and will continue
to protest until silver is restored to
the position from which it was ia
ken by fraud, deceit and rsscality.

The Logic of the silver Ques.
kfNn.
Atkinson Champion, July 20.

~@0O-~~-~N--
Under this caption the ALBANY
On. " Evening Journal publishes
an article in which it sums I'D the
objections of the money power to
the remonetizing of silver. And as
the Journal is one of the most ably
edited papers in the East, and no
doubt fairly represents the opinions
of those for whom it speaks, its ar
guments may be accepted as the
logic of those who think as it does
on this subject.
The Journal asserts, first, that
"the essential, cardinal truth is lust
this-that it I. e., the remonetiza-
ton of silver is 9 proposition to
cheat the creditor and violate the
public faith by paving In q depreci-
ated currency"
This same assertion is made by all
the organs of the money power, and
It seems to be q summing up of ali
the logic of all the anti-silver men.
Suppose, however, we put this
statement in another shape, and see
how 1t sounds: The essential, cardi-
nal truth is just this-that the oppo-
sItion to the reconciliation of sill
yer is a proposition to cheat the
debtor, and violating the public
faith by compelling the payment of
all debts, public and private, In
currency that has been largely in
creased in value by the enactment
of law passed by deceit and fraud.
And this is the essential, cardinal
truth. The Journal urges that sill.
yer is deprecated below the gold
standard. Well, this depreciation
was caused by its demonstration,
and its demonstration was secured
by cheat. Remonetize silver and
It will be just as valuable a. gold.
But the Journal, like all organs Of
the money power, reserves all its
sympathies for the creditor. It

LONDON. july 3, 1877.

LONDON, July 3, 1877.
A deputation of forty men, each
representing a different trade. aud
representing altogether about 900
600 English woIkingmen, waited
on ex-President Grant, at Consul
General Badeau's to-day, and pre-
sented HIM with an address well
coming him to England, and assur-
ing him of their good wishes and
deep regard for the welfare and
progress OF America, where British
workmen had always found q well
come.
Impromptu speeches were then
made by members of the deputa-
ton, all of which were extremely
cordial. General Grant replied as
follows:
"In the name of my country,
thank you for the address you have
presented to me. feel it a great
compliment paid to my government
and one to me personally. Since
my arrival on British soil l have re-
ceiYed great attentions, which were
intended, feel sure, in some way,
for my country. have had ova-
tons, free hand-shskings, presen-
tations from different classes, from
the government, from the controil-
ing authorities of cities; and been
received in cities by the populace,
but there has been no reception
which I am prouder of than this
to-day. 1 recognize the fact that
whatever there is of greatness in
the United States, as indeed in any
other country, is due to labor. The
laborer is the author of all great
ness and wealth. Without labor
there would be no government, or
leading class, or nothing to pre-
serve. With US labor is regarded
as highly respectable. When it is
not so regarded, it is because man
dishonors labor. We recognize
that labor dishOnors no man, and
no matter what a mans occupation
is, he is eligible to fill any post in
the gift of the people. His occu-
patton is not considered in selec-
ting, whether as q lawmaker or as
an executor of the law. Now. gen.
tlemen, in conclusion, all can do
is to renew my thanks for the adj
dress, and repeat what l have said
before, that l have received nothing
from any class since my arrival
which has given me more pleasure"
After the speech there was an in
formal exchange of cOurtesies, and
the deputation then withdrew.

Erom the new orleans Democrat.
The "slow fighter" was tail, raw.
boned specimen of the Pike county
breed, and when he arrived in the
mining camp the boys began to have
fun with him-to "mill him, as they
called 1t in the parlance of the mines.
He stood it for a long time with
perfect equanimity, until finally, one
of the party dared him out of doors
to fight.
He went. When they all got ready
and squared of, Pike county stretch
ed out his long neck and presented
the tip Of his big nose temptingly
close to his tormentor: "I'm q little
slow" he said, "and can't fight I'M
less I'm well riled just paste one
q good Outright on the end of that
smeller.'
His request was complied with.
"ThRt was q good 'un," he said,
calmly, "but l don't feel quite riled
yit"-(turning the side of his head
TO the adversary)-"plesse chug me
another lively one under the ear I"
The astonished adversary again
complied, whereupon Pike county,
remarkiDg that he was mot quite as
well riled as he would like to be,
but would do the best he could, -
sailed into the crowd, aud for the
next ten days the "boys" were en-
gagged in mending broken jaws, re-
pairing damaged eyes, and tenderly
reconstructing smashed noses.

All accounts agree that the peach
crop will be larger this year than
ever before. Not one-third of the
immense yield in Delaware will be
sent to market in the natural state,
owing to the lack of means of trans
portation, and the great excess of
the supply over the demand. Last
year experiments were made in dry
ing the fruit by intense heat, and
this year that branch of the business
will be prosecuted extensively, ex-
pensive machinery being used. A
bushel of peaches contains two gall
Ions of water, which can be driven
out in q few hours by evaporation !;
and the slices when brought into
contact with water again, are found
not to be materially altered in taste.
Europe is the market to which the
dried peaches are to be cent.

JudIcIOus Advertising.

Under this head the Springfield
Republican prints some very sound
observations:
Reforms of all kinds seem to be
in fashion. The reaction from the
craze of speculation and imitation
and war politics and low moral
standards brings with it the appli-
cation of practical good sense and
economy, of better morals and
higher tone and soberer views of
things, in nearly all departments of
life. One of the outcrOppings of
this new fashion of common sense
is in the business of advertising-a
looping off of the more expensive
and sensational and vulgar modes
the attention of the person who
buys. The reform was we'll voiced
at late meeting of the stove man
ufacturers of the country at Detroit,
where the president denounced the
ineffective and expensive advertis-
ing that had been much INDUCED
in by the trade, the tawdry litho-
graphs and other sensational ma
chinery, and recommended instead
the more exclusive use of the news
papers.
"If we would make the best pos
sible use of our money" he contin-
ued, "we should patronize ably con-
Quoted and responsible newspapers.
The newspaper is immeasurably the
best medium open to our trade !;
the most liberal and expert adver-
tisers testify to its value, and in the
employment of its columns we
would find means of escape from
wasteful, undignified and ineffec-
tive methods to which so many re-
sort in their eagerness to secure at
tention and patronage" These are
indeed the suggestions of expert
ence and common sense, and there
are signes, as if by a common in
stinct, that they are being adopted
by merchants, manufacturers and
other classes of the community
having occasion to engage in either
purchasing and selling.
Old and well-established papers,
with constituencies representing
the best classes of society, are un-
doubleday the most available, the
cheapest and the most remunera-
tive avenues for advertising. The
extent of circulation is, of course,
one element in the case, but not al
ways the sole one. A cheap paper
in q great city may have an im-
mense local circulation, and yet
reach but q very small fraction of
the purchasing classes. Such a pa
per is only superior for a few espe-
cial kinds of advertising. The con-
stituency of newspaper, the char
acter, the consuming quality, the
taste and variety of its readers,
their respect for 1t, and the fidelity
with which they and their families
read it, are facts to be considered
quite as much "a the mere amount
of gross circulation. Then, again,
as advertisers can not use all the pa
pers, there is the question of selec-
ton, and into this enters the extent
and completeness with which any
one or more newspapers occupy
certain field, and render unnecessa-
ry the use of its local rivals. On
all these points there is field for
discriminating intelligence by adj
vertisers who would get the worth
of their money, and the conclusions
of the stove men are evidently re-
decting the thought and action of
other classes of advertisers through
out the country.

They set out bearing the motto, Eat
drink and be merry - and baskets

10 80 a. m. and rambled over the pre-

the proceedings of the establishment.

also a large dairy under the super
vision of Mr.. Bossier. Some of the
young ladies thought this would be
quite "catch" but found his bochlor-
hoods heart more impossible to the
attacks made by the ''mammon of un-
Righteousness" than any allurements
they could throw out. Learning that
he was proficient violinst, he was
kindly asked to favor rs with one of
his favorites, but excused himself on
the plea that it would not be appreci-
ated. The party was given full sway
on the premises and found in the par
lor an elegant piano, and a fine plan
LIST being one of the company. All
hearts were filed with music.
at 2:30 p. m. all repaired to the

In this department we became ac-
quainted with Miss Mamie Lockhart,

While all the bells were ringing in
Great Independence morning,
Mid roar of guns, and cannons' boom,
And crackers valiant fight for room

Was ruined by q severe mamma,
Who, right and justice spurning,
Determined she would make us do
To her commands according;
But we rebelled, and SO il CHANGED.
One Fourth of July morning,
Long years ago, the deed was done,
By which we Independence won,
The laws of Mamma England scorning.

MischievOus dimples playing
About her lips; then, sudden
triumphant heard her saying:
'.Sow think, sometimes, all mammas,
And, very of'en, too, papas,

Who ruled us in the times afarp'
