Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-01-31


And some great lies were never ponei;
Zen ministers they ha2 been kencd
In holy rapture
\ rousns wind at times to bend,
And nail wi Scripture.
The reverend gentleman has certainly sue
ceeded in all except the mailing, although he
took for his text the sixth and seventh verses
OF the twelfth chapter of Samuel, which, If
any one will look at, think he will conclude
{. different sermon might he preached from.
Mr. Beecher informs us tina, gold is the
standard in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Amer
lea, north, south, east and Wcs5;' thus includ
ing the whole known world, when the facts
are that 76S, 944 456 of the population of the
world use exclusively and entirely silveras their
standard, and 1877, }0O, 900 use both gold and
silver, and only about 100, 900, OGD use sin
Gle gold standard. In this statement l have
not included the United States.
Now, am I not justified in saying that this
reverend gentleman, in making The sweeping
statement above referred to, either wickedly
stated what he knew to be false or else adver-
tised himself to the world as Il consummate ig-
loramus on this question that entities him to
the contempt of every man who has
given the subject any thought! Then having
settled that question suppose to his entire
satisfaction, he proceeds to tell us what kind
of men these are who wish to remonetise silver.
He describes them, in his own chaste and
classic language as 'bull-headed, without
eyes. endeavoring to undermine the integrity
IF the nation; and says they deserve an in
fanny as deep as the lowest de his of hell.
He further says that we are ''niscreants,
and that this attempt to remonetize silver lis
a high crime and misdemeanor, and if men in
Congress do not know it: what are they there
for" Yes sir, what are we here f = Why
not vacate our seats, and give place o such
men as this reverend gentlemen, whose
record is so clean, whose reputation I'M
bemished, who has never been before the |
church and the world in any equiyo'tl posi- ,
tons. He would be the man to tx all thi. |
for he certainly has an e1pe4.-- Z i'll c, T.. |
tain direction that | persumo no man W =
supports this silver bill can boast of. But 1t /
is little surprising, think, that his rever-
ence should consign us to hell, for, if the
papers report him correctly, he has abolished
or at least desul phurised that Institution. 1t
IS possible, however, that upon this subject
the wish is father to the thought, produced by
personal considerations. The idea of a ode
sulphurlsed hell' is a good one and especially
reterable to Beechers pesposterOus Whlmsey.
CHINAMEN WHO WANT To 600 WEST"
The Silver State of Monday has the follow
ing account of the rather unusual spectacle of
:. gang of mutinous mutinous, it
seems, from something very like homesick-
ness: about forty Cinnamon have been en-
gagged for the last two three months in ,
grading yard and laying side tracks for the ,
railroad company south of the depot Three /
days ago their work was completed and the 9
Road Master was instructed to send them to t
Carln Cars were provided to take them up
the road by Station Agen- Young, but they {
refused to go in that direction, and would not /
obey orders The head man of the gang, Who 5
acts interpreter offered r. Young 800 if 4
he would send them west, 'ut he, having no
discretion i'll the matter, Informed them that
ne could not comply with their wishes They
seem firmly determined not to 90 up the road,
and at last accounts positively refused to get t
on the cars. Many of them have been work 1
ing on the railroad for several years and hav- 1
ING secured home stake want to return to t
China Though generally docile and submis- u
sive the Chinese are at times as obstinate as O
mules and refuse to be persuaded. "
