Our Washington correspondent furnishes
US with the vlows Of two representative
Democrats, Senator Hill, Of Georgia, and
Mr. HxwTrr. Of New York. Both Of these
geutlemon admit, rs iudisputable, that oil
tho slebts Of the United statcB are legally
payable In silver at tho discretion Of tue Gov.
ernment. That they concede Ia tho compact,
They object to the use Of silver because the
silver dollar IL not worth near as much. In.
srinsically, aa 1t was when tho debt wsa con.
tracted. Doth these gentlomen ignore tho
historical fact Tint Tho only question ever
raisod by the public creditors was that thoy
should not be compelled to taks paper. The
exclusion Of sllvor was never thought Of, aud
had any man PROPOSED then that the Uultotl
States should guarantee the value OF gold mud
Of ailver bullion he would have boon declared
luuatic.
Ms. HILL argues that tho outstanding
0per cent bonds 1nAy bo refunded In l ner
cent bonds il tho bonds be matlo payable in
goldf but the Senator forgets that, Il the
present bonds are payable In aiiver, a I
per cont bond, payable thirty years hence In
silver or gold At the option Of tho Goysru-
ment, would find, a. tho President, the Soc
rotary Of the Treasury, and the Comptroller
of. the Currency cohceas. M immediate
market In this country, and perhaps the ex-
change OF bonds could bo accomplished
much sooner than II the Treasury waits to
sell Per cent bonds at par In gold.

There are estimated to be 4i5O, COO, 900
Of gold now In this tountry. II to
rernonotize silver would cause the
shipment Of thfa $3.50, 100000 OF gold
to London, It wonld have the offcct Of break
Ing tho gold corner IN Europe, wonld mako
gold 30 abundant md no oheap there that
the discarded silver would naturally recover
mnch Of its relative valuc, particularly ~ tho
surplus silver having gono to Amcrica, the
silvor would be scarce and high and tho gold
would be abundant and cheap. INT no such
expulsion Of gold would follow tho remon-
etizalion Of silver. Wherever thors is q d.
1nand for goldor silver, The metal will be sure
to find It's market. Since 1862, whom tho
greonbacks were made 1egai-tendor, thcre
has always been enough gold In this country
to meet any want for the arttcle. The cheap
paper circulated universally and exclusively;
and, though tho paper dollar was As low as 10
cents. gold WAS not expelled tho country;
all the gold remaincd, AZ 1t romans
now, In the country that there was
any use for. 80, when tho silver
dollar shall DO remonatizod, all the gold for
which there will bo any use In this country

HEWITT, who vainly tries, by the woak OBJ
jecttons fle suggests, to hide the real purpose
Of tho opposition to silver, which is to adj
vince tho value of gold and Of evory form
of debt and Investment, by mixing gold tho
exclusive metallic money Of civilization aud
tho only legal.tender. Tho theory Of the
money y-lending interest IS that there Is too
much metallic money In existence, and tlaat
1t is too choap; that the dollar is Too
large and docs not buy enough Of
other property; TINT II silrer be blot

and all other property cheap, Tho whole
schome Of lemonetizing silver had Its origin
In this idea, and to promote that ond It is
now 60 urgently pressed, aud men like
HEWITT and Hill nre looking to tho Prcai-
dent to defeat tho great popular demand for
a restored silyor dollar. Docs hfr. Hill
think there Is such an abundance Of mctallio
money IN Georga and throughout Ito South
and West that 1t Is too choap, and that ono-
half Of It must be discarded in order to pro-
duco scarcity and givo higher va1uo to tho
other half? That is tho solo aim of domou-
etizafion Of silver, and this country, whoro

public, is asked TO mako MI coin perpotua1ly

Get along with her? Why. he
couldn't get along without her. She

copies his manuscripts, swears by all
ne thinks and says and does, through
thick and thin, by day and by

spiteful enough to remind her that she
had once vowed that nothing on earth
would ever induce her to marry q

What did she say?
She turned around in her old saucy
manner, and answered. Jack Warner,
you are as stupid as ever. I did not
marry the writer, married the man.
Then / said, Il suppose all this duty and

The Illustrated History of the Great
buildings and all the objects of later
est Exhibited in them. By james d.
hcCa6e, author Of 97Ae Centennial
History OF the United States,'' etc,
Ensbetiished tcith orer 800 yJiae engrap-
fngs Of buildings and scenes in the
Great Exhibition.
There is universal demand for a
work which shall embody a complete
and carefully written account of the
great Centennial Exhibition, sketch
ing its wonderful and varied features.
and presenting to the reader not dry
list of the articles exhibited, but a
brilliant and graphic description Of the
most magnificent display of the results
of human skill and industry ever
gathered together. Such want the
National Publishing Co., have SUPPLE
ed IN this superb volume. It is from
the pen of the well-kuown auther.
James d. McCabe, of Philadelphia.
The book is complete and vivid de-
scription of the great Exhibition.
The author has written from his own
personal knownedge, having gone
through every part of the great
Worlds Fair, note book in hand, re-
cording the vast and varied informa-
ton contained in this work. He has
received the constant and sympathetic
assistance of the Centennial authorities
and has enjoyed peculiar advantages
In its preparation. The author takes
us through the entire Exhibition
grounds, and makes us familiar with
every object of interest in them. We
are then taken into the Main Building,
and are carried successfully through
every building, large and small, in the
grounds. We are told the story of the
construction and arrangements of each
of these edifices, and the rare beauti-
full and wonderful collections which
they contained are graphically de-
scribed,
This work is invaluable to all
classes of our people. To those who
visited the Exhibition it will be a
pleasing sovenir of their visit, and will
enable them to recall the magnificent
scenes they have witnessed. To those
who could not make the journey, the
book is necessity, for it will enable
them to enjoy the delights of q
thorough acquaintance with the great
Worlds Fair in the quietude of thei r
own homes.
There is not another book in print
which gives one-fourth of the infOrma-
ton contained in this work. 1t is
comprised in one large and handsome
octave volume of SAT pages, and is
superbly illustrated. The book is
sold by subscription only, and agents
are wanted in every county. Pub
lished by the National Publishing Co.,
of Philadelphia and st. Louis.

10 the Pole.

Captain ii. w. Howgate, of the
United States army. has at last
devised plan whereby the long
sought-for North Pole may be
found. The scheme is kown as
"Howgate's Colonization Plan"
He proposes to establish a base of
supplies at Lady Franklin Bay,
with a force sufficient for emer-
gencies; then start expeditions
from that point. and establish
posts futher on uLtil the goal is
reached, meanwhile keeping up
communication with HEADQUARTERS
at Lady Franklin Bay. The Cap
tain believes that there is an open
Polar Sea, subject, of course, to
the varying Influences of the seve-
re winters OF that region, and
1t IS perfectly reasonable to sup
pose that the changes occur De
riodically, as IN the more tenn
perate zones. Looking at the
matter in this light, he argues, If
the North Pole is ever discovered,
it can only be done by the most
persistent effort. and in some
such systematic manner. There
is no reason why the scheme con-
not becarried out as he suggests.
Ithas been Endorsed by scientific
men throughout the country, who
look upon it as the most feasible
plan jet offered. and as the Cap
tain is man OF indomitabIe pluck
and enegry. they are willing to
give him all the support In their
power. The establishment of a
meteorological branch of the SER
vice, would be Of infinite benefit
in increasing our knowledge of
the laws govern wind and weather.
At all events, the Captain deserves
success.

THE COMING ISSUE.

The Union was worth saying
even at cost of half q million of
lives and mountains of treasure.
This is the verdict of the American
People. What was worth saving is
worth paying for and perpetuating.
We shall never have q homogene-
Gus and united Nation until ALL the
people in every State are educated
citizens. Education must be made
compulsory and the National Gov
eminent must enforce il. The Dem
ocratic demagogues oppose educa-
ton. In ignorance Is THEIR strength ;
from intelligence springs ours
This is the coming issue.
