and so he smote him on the fifth rib. The
journals from which have quoted seem to
have been equally solicitous concerning the
national honor, and while tenderly inquiring
as to its health, deal deadly stabs like
these on this country. National honor
had never been furnished by those who
proposed to restore the ancient money
in which every national bond is promised to
be paid. If it is in danger Of being tar
nished, it is from the charge of the opposing
faction that a majority of the citizens of a
majority of the States of this Union are dis
honored. Let the press of this country not
forget, that while power usually begets in
tolerance, it always begets resistance.
It is boastfully declared that capital
is now "organized at last, and we
shall see whether Congress will dare to
fly in its face.' How long is it
since the shareholders of the country, into1i-
Gated by long possession of absolute sway,
declared that cotton was king, and that the
grass should grow in the streets of northern
cities if its royal prerogatives were interfered
with. The northern men who hear me know
that it was arrogance, together with irrrspon-
sible power, the dominating spirit engender-

the revolution which destroyed it. Are the
same people who carried that revolution
through fire and blood on the bayonets OF
three million of men, likely to be patient
under the taunt that their chosen repre-.
sentatives, sitting here under the dome OF
this capitol, dare not fly in the face of organ
lied money lenders and bondholders of the
country.
Thank God for the dedication of indepen
dence and the patient heroism that made it
vitalizing force, and the constitution thai
crystalized into law, the people of this coun
try are furnished with better method Of
righting wrongs and asserting rights than {
resort to arms.
Senator Wadleigh spoke against the bill
and in the course of his remarks said there
had been statement of distress and suffer
ing, but to his mind all this cry of weepin
and wailing was to direct the attention o.
the people from the fact that they were be.
ing robbed for the benefit of the bloated
! German empire and the Nevada silver
kings.
The Senate then went into executive SEES
sion, and when the doors were reopened
Senator Blaine submitted substitute fo
the silver bill, of which he gave notice severa
days ago, when he addressed the Senate, tn
provisions of which he then explained.

one Of our citizens, who usually keeps
several dozen work horses, informed Us a
tew days since that he occasionally fed
Sour apples to his horses, with excellent
results. They are a certain cure for
worms. He recommends from half to

citizen who has been in the practice of
keeping a considerable number of work
horses on his farm, says that he has been
p the habit of turning his horses into the
orchard in the fall where they could eat
as many apples as they liked. He found
that they derived much benefit from the
feed, and gained flesh much more rapidly
