and only about 100, 1000, 900 use a sin
gle gold standard. After thus f.lsify-
ing facts. he proceeds in his very chaste
and classic style to characterize tie
silver advocates as buIl-headed. with
out eyes, endcavoring to undermine
the integrity of the nation;'' and says
''they deserve an infamy as deep as
the lowest depths of hell" Moreover,
Mr.. rockingham, another reverend
goldlts, has paid the silver men
some Ieft-handed compliments. He
compares them to those people spoken
Of in the scriptures, and Of whom it il
said, eye are of your father the devil
for he is liar and the father of lies. :"
Again, he says: Zone thing Is sure:
the passage Of this bill will shake the
foundations of the Republic. A deep
er danger IS in it than in the first shot
fired against Fort Sampler. Such is
the language used in a sermon by this
clergyman in Buffalo, n. Y, in De-
cember last on the Sabbath. The fact
that two such men are employed to
uphold the gold lords IS evidence of the
terrible desperation Of their case. The
rule of the bondholder must be broken
or the American laborcr passes out of
freedom into state of abject slavery.
Another argument to get votes
against The silver dollar is that CAPT
talists viii not any longer lend money
to the West or South unless an obliga-
ton is given to pay the principal and
interest in gold. They do this to force
special payments upon the people.
They lend paper money worth ninety
cents in gold, and demand payment in
gold at a premium.
Senator Bailey Of Tennessee, in his
late mastery speech on the silver ques-
ton, advocated reconciliation not only
because it would cheaper money and
enable people to pay their debts, but
that it would prevent the goldpes from
making money dearer than it was
when the people had two metals instead
of one.
The working classes should be paid
in as good a dollar when they earn it
by their labor as the man receives who
earns it by his capital. Bus the bond
holder says, ''2So, Pay the iaboring
man in deprecated silver but pay me
in gold at premium, Is the language
Of the money ring.
Stanley, the New York HeraJd At
rican explorer, has been awarded 81
gold medal by the Geographical Soei-
ETY. of Franco. The Minister of Public
instruction gave him the decoration Of
the Acadenical palm.
The manifesto of Blair. the Bour-
bon Democrat, like that Of Chandler,
the Bourbon Republican, is stunning
failure. When a few more such ire
concilables have been sat down upon
we shall have peace.
Senator Ben. Hill of Georgia will
reply to Voorhees, silver speech. He
is a tool of Eastern monometaIists.
He viii walk the political dead plank
as has Senator Dennis Of Maryland
Such rencgades should be punished.

Charleston merchants and bankers
protest that such debased currency as
silver should not be classed with hon
est gold. Here Is another instance
that the hand of the robber East is
upon the mouth of the South.
Blaine says Hayes administration
will be failure but its policy will be
success: that no man who opposes this
administrations policy would stand the
slightest chance Of political promotion.
The President in his forthcoming
civil service message will recommend
that the selection of postmasters in
smaller towns be made by popular
vote.
The NarrOwest Railroad Ever known.
Boston Globr.
The new road from Bedford to Bill
lerica enjoys the distinction Of having
the narrowest gauge of any railroad in
the world-two feet. The cars set
very low on the trucks, are forty feet
10 lnesth, six feet two inches outside
width, with walls three inches thick,
leaving n total inside width Of five feet
eight inches. The engine Is am0del of
compaetRess and Is n sort OF double on-
der, thus saving the use OF a turn-tabio.
