Stop a Little.

1t is argued that the act of 1873. which
and which makes silver coin legal tender
for five dollars, only, changed the obliga-
ton OF the United States bonds. Before
that act was passed, SO if is argued, the
bonds. like all other debts, could be paid
in gold and silver, but now, because con-
gress said silver should not be legal tender
for more than five dollars, we must pay the
bonds in gold, only.
Stop little, and let US look at this.
Before 1873 it is agreed that it was the
right of the people to pay their debts in
silver, and since the act of 1869 it has bee =
the duty of the nation to pay its bonds in
coin.
But since the act of 1873 the right Of
the people 70 pay the bonds in silver is
taken away, and it is their duty TO nav in
gold.
But rights and duties run parallel and
neither can exist without the other
Before 1873 it was the right and dStv oil
the people to pay the bonds either in pold
or silver, but the act demonstrating silve,
takes away half their right, and abolisbe,
equally their duty to provide silver for this
payment.
Suppose congress had also demonetized
gold, then the people would not have the
right to pay the bonds in that any more
than Is now alleged they have in silver.
Would such an act have relieved the
people from the duty of paying the
bonds? '"0
| Ii not, why not, supposing the arpu
ments against the right to pay in silver is
good? e''''i 10
After all, the question what the bonds
are to be paid in, is not half so imnortant
as the question what wages are to he na;,I

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: Ten
thousand words of Lamar's speech against
silver were sent over the wires. Demo
cratic papers would do we'll to use the
Associated Press for what little news it
may chance to contain, but throw aside its
partisan filth" Isn't Lamar Democrat?
Then the partisan filth" has Democratic
origin. Inter Ocean.
That is not the point. The Enquirer S
idea is entirely correct. When the Associa-
ton has anything on hand which happens
to represent Mr.. Smiths political views a
food of ten thousand words more or less
is sure to be let loose, but if something Of
a contrary character is to be sent over the
wires, economy steps in and reduces thu

Let us hear from them All.

The Cleveland Herald wishes to know
the exact opinion Of clergymen Fof all
denominations in respect to the doctrine OF
endless punishment, and therefore it asks
them individually to respond briefly to the
following questions
/. Do you believe in hell?
2 If SO, what sort of a place do you
think it is, and where is it?
3. What classes and kinds of people &C
there?
4. Why are they sent there?
5. Once in, can they ever get out?
6. What is the character of the punish
ment inflicted on the soul2
7, Is the doctrine of eternal damnation
plainly and necessarily derived from the
original Hebrew and Greek versions of the
Bible2
s. Is belief in hell an essential part Of
the Christian religion?
