The British Lions Hair Rising

LONDON, November 23.-lt is said that
the recent success of the Russians IN Asia
and the probability that they will soon
achieve q decisive victory at Plevns
has brought back the government 70 that
state of anxiety into which they were
thrown by the first raid across the
Balkans. The papers that support the
Premier's foreign policy are daily
vehemently demanding the active inter
vertion OF England. it is said that the
Premier has informed the Russian
minister that if Adrisnople be taken and
Constantinople jeopardized there may be
such an outcry in England rs to make
war on the part OF this country ineYita
bic. Information of this declaration has
been sent to the Russian headquarters
and has made strong impression there.
In these circumstances there Is some
reason for fearing that the country may
be dragged into the present conflict.
Further ground for such apprehension Is
tha, within the last tew hours orders
have been issued for the immediate
preparation of the army corps.

with Telling Effect.

The fact was demonstrated that there
was to be 10 real preparation for re-
sumption, and that there was not as
much gold in the country now as there
was before 1860; and facts were brought
to bear to show that no great debtor na-
tiUn had ever trusted its domestic busl-
ness to q currency reCeemab.e in coin;
while the proposition was laid down that
the day Of resumption must be put of
until It Is proven that the accumulation
OF coin is larger than the paper which Is
redeemable.
Ewing made startling exhibit with
his figures, and 1t was difficult to under
stand, after following him, how any one
could iai - see the madness OF forced
resumption. The legislation now pend
ing was declared to be the most import
ant that has occupied the attention OF
Congress tor years, tor it touched the
prosperity ana happiness Of three
tOurths of the men, women and children
of the land. The effect of the passage
OF the resumption act has been to hurry
hundreds 10 suicides graves, 10 reduce
hundreds OF thousands iIom competence
to poverty, and 10 deprive millions OF
the rewards of their labor 1t wss too
late to remedy the wrongs of the past
but repetition in the future might be
sverted by prompt action in passing the
Repeal bill, and thus taking the financial
/ operations OF the country out OF the
hands Of Lombard snd Wall streets
which had controlled it for twelve yesrs
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1877-11-24
IwO OTHis Propositions.

Ewing laid down and dwelt at length
upon two propositions. One that the
Resumption law was to contract the cur
rency, break down values and increase
enormously the efficiency of the moneyed
classes, and the other that it was to
destroy greenbsck money, take from the
people control OF the volume of currency,
and put the control in the hands OF the
moneyed classes through the National
banks and consolidate the circulation in
the hsrd of the banks in the great
moneved centers, ard thus break down
the country banks. He sustained these
points with the strongest arguments that
could possibly be made, and hurled his
facts a. the other side.

on either side, and people are tree to say
tonight that his arguments are unan-
swerabIe. He WAS crammed lull OF facts
and figures, which he used with telling
effect He gave substantial reasons for the
faith that was in him, and when he closed
he WAS complimented with the most en-
thusiastic applause on the floor and in
the galleries

The Grand climax

was reached when, after detailing the
fact which had been stated to him, that
laborers were begging one railroad
builder in Ohio, whom ne knew, for per-
mission to work for bread enough t. keep
their souls within their starving bodies,
he quoted, with startling emphasis, that
heart-rending sentence
"Great God that bread should be dear,
And human lie so cheap

was in its 10 ic and Its facts. They have
