THE SILVER BILL TO PAss.-The N.
Y. Tribune says that there is danger that
no amendments will be accepted in the
Senate and that the Bland bill will pass
by more than two>thirds vote.
The Ledger says Senator Herman tells
a reporter Of the Utica Observer that he
can count upon buttwerty-four anti-silver
men in the Senate. He hopes, however,
that some compromise can he effected.
Senator Beck has reached Kentucky,
where he tells correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer that the silver dol
lar is bound to be remonetized, whether
the President vetoes the bill or not. Like
Ewing, he believes the President will
not veto it, because of the large vote il
its favor.
The Ledger replies to correspondent
that the silver dollar, about the time the
present funded debt of the Government
was created, was worth 103 in gold.
Gen. Ben. F. Butler is out in favor O
the silver bill.

One OF the m ost unfair and mischiev-
Gus acts of Congress is that which re-
quires cent stamp on box of matches
and two cent stamp on bank check.
The people were enabled to buy two
boxes of matches for cent before the
war, a nd now our people in Wilmington
are taxed on this one article to such an
extent that three cents box is charged.
This tax gives monopolyrto the rich
manufacturers, and no man can compete
with them, because they make their
money off of the discount on the stamps.
Members of Congress through the lobby
are induced to keep this tax on matches
and every poor person is taxed to keep
up this monopoly. A N ost unrighteous
and dishonorable procedure that ough t

SENATOR HERMAN is grieved that he
can only count upon twenty-four Sena-
tors who will vote against Bland's Sill
yer bill. There are 76 Senators; thus he
finds 52 votes for the bill, more than taco
thirds. But he does not dare to call
them "consummate fools," as the Every
Erening and Commercial does. In fact
they seem to show so much wisdom and
caution in what they say, as to alarm
their opponents and make them feel
they have made great mistake and will
be caught in the attempt to commit one
of the greatest frauds of the age.

CHRISTMAS. IT o-morrow being
Christmas, day universally observed as
time of pleasure and rejoicing, no
GAZETTE will be issued, in order that
the employees of the Office may enjoy

all our readers a "Merry Christmas" and
hope the day may be fraught with en-
joyment to all.

vember by a handsome majority of the
votes cast, and that 1T Democrats voted
to seat him and l16 Republicans, scala
wags and carpet baggers, voted against
seating him. The GAZETTE stands with
the 1T Democra ats. The GAZETTE rep
resents the Democratic party on both
these questions. We do not know that
Mr.. Williams represented anybody on
the latter question; nor have we called in
question his "honest convictions" He
did not vote to seat Belford. When the
Smyrna Times commends the GAZETTE
we shall begin seriously to examine
whether we are right.
The daily gazette., 1877-12-24

OUR Representative In Congress- Mr..
Williams, seems to be too honest to meet
the hearty approval of the DeidiUdre Ga
zette. He has honest convictions and is
governed by them. 1t is refreshing to find
man VINO can raise above the trucculence
of the party lash. The two last causes Of
complaint by the Gazette are that Mr.. Will
liams Will not vote to make 80 cents worth
a dollar and, to seat in a contested case a
Mr.. Patterson, of Colorado, who had been
defeated by his opponent, Belford by
more than 900 votes on two separate bal
lots. Mr.. Williams, knowing that Mr.
Belford had been honestly elected to Con
gress, could not vote for his opponent to
take his s=at simply because he is of a diff
ferent party.-.SmyJnd Times.
We do not think the Times states the
whole truth in the above; and in the
neglect to do so seems to lurk the intent
to evade it entirely. When the Times
will convince its readers that the dollar
in silver coin is only worth 92 cents it
will also convince them that the Congress
that refuses to permit it to be used to pay
a bond, forces it into the hands of the
laborer for 100 cents. There is no hon.
esty in Congress forcing 90 cents upon a
laborer for a dollar, and forcing the la
borer to pay eight cents additional on
each dollar when he pays the bondholder
his interest on his debt. We maintain
that the silver dollar of 4123 grains, which
before the war was worth 103 cents com.
pared with the gold dollar, is worth 10C
cents now and that gold has been ap.
preciated and silver deprecated by the
fraudulent demonstration of silver. AnC
the Times will find, after the silver bill
now IN the Senate is passed and silver
is called into use as money, for which il
has been chiefly used in all countries ant
in all ages, that the silver dollar will b,
to par with gold and the greenback will
assume its proper place in our currency
And in very short time the sale of gol,
will stop and even the greenback will g,
at par We are so convinced that tb
silver dollar is worth more now than
ever was as a specie basis for our i'm
mense paper circulation, that we canno
understand how an honest Democrat ca
vote to exclude it from currency-its ar
cient and most legitimate use. On thi
question Gas 1t now appears) happily Mi
Williams vote can be spared, withor
damage, except, perhaps, a two-third
majority should be required through
veto, of which there is very little appre
hension.
The Times ignores the fact that Nj
Patterson was elected at the legally al
thorized election held on the 7th of n

The daily gazette., 1877-12-24

WHAT 1T MEANs.-But few of those who
advocate the coinage of a legal tender sill
yer dollar are willing to confess the real
ground of their action. They clamor about
the "demonetiZation of the dollar by a
trick in lS73," when the fact is that for
twenty two years before that dats the sill
vor dollar was not in circulation in this
country. They insist that the letter OF the
promise as to the public debt is to pay IN
''coin;" anu that silver will redeem that
promise as well as gold, when they know
that for ten years before the first of the
outstanding bombs was issued, no one in
the United States had thought that prom
ise to pay In coin meant anything but a
contract OF payment In gold. The dema-
gogues are pushing the measure i'm the hope
of popularity with the masses, who are
suffering from hard times; and the latter
favor it because they burdened with debt
and are short of cash, and persuade them
selves that the cheaper the dollar the easier
1t will be fer them to discharge their obli-
cations ahd TO replenish their purse
Journal Of Commerce.
How false that whole paragraph is every
one knows who remem bers how readily
silver sold at a high premium in 1862 and
1868. The opponents of silver as legal
tender favor the baby" and would
make the people believe that 1t was only
the restoration OF the coin denomlnated a
"dollar," that the advocates oil silver for
money wanted. That is not so; they advo-
cate the use of silver for currency on the
same terms that gold is used There never
was peroid in the history of the country
that the word "coin" did not mean gold and
