GOLD COMING HERE.-The false
prophets change their tone. When Bland's
silver bill was before Congress, the gold
standard Republican newspapers, and
such of the Democratic faith that had
been led astray by such cunning knayes
as John Sherman, prophesied that if the
silver bill passed all the gold would leave
the country. To show how little they
knew about it we copy the following
from the Public Ledger, one of the news
papers, owned by the DreXel Brothers.
which opposed the Bland bill and favored
single gold standard. Gold is now
flowing into the country instead of going
out, as the Ledger predicted. But it does
not say this. The reconciliation of sill
yer aSd coinage of silver dollars has
made wonderful change. 1t is sale
that in every country where silver has
been demonetized great financial difficult
ties have arisen. Whether this is so or
not we do not pretend to say. But we
must insist upon our single gold standard
people, who objected to the course of the
GAZETTE, noting the fact that gold is
now pouring into the country instead of
going out. There is no longer necessity
for the gold gamblers to keep it away SO
that they can ''corner" the market. be-
cause silver comes to our relief, and they
cannot .gamble successfully in both
metals. Had the mints been kent at
work coming silver forthe last five wears.

Treasury than we actually needed. But
John Sherman and the Republicans in
Congress secretly and adroitly passed a
bill through the House and Senate. with
out its being read, demonetizing silver
and preventing its being coined or circu-
lated in order that they should have gold
and greenbacks only for currency-the
gold to sell and gamble with and the
greenback rag-babies for the people to
use in buying gold. If the Bland bill
had not passed, resumption, forced as it
is to be, would likely have driven gold to
20 per cent. Now see how the false
prophets are shown to be without credit.

The daily gazette., 1878-10-26

Mr.. GRAY, last evening, in his speech,
referred incidentally to the tariff, and
cited the manufacture of matches. Mr..
Gray, without being aware Of it, touched
a sore place in the Radical camp. The
Radical party are responsible for MANY
monopolies, and this of matches is one
of them. 1t is complete. The door to
any young mans entering that business
for livelihood is closed. 1t was closed
by Congressman. Like the sewing ma
chine monopolies, kept up for years by
the extension of patents through the vile
use OF money, while the poor sewing
woman had to pay four prices for a ma
machine, and ten prices where they hired
them, toput money in the pockets of the
millionaire reprobates, Howe and Singer,
SO the poor women and poor men are
now required to pay three cents box
for matches, which could be had for hall
cent box were it not for the monopo.
ly kept on them by Radical Congress
slonal committees, through stamp tax,
that costs the government almost as much
TO print as the match monopolies pay for
them. This is home tariff for the nro-
lection OF the wealthy and gathering
from poor widows into the plethoric
pockets of the rich.
But Mr.. Gray referred also to the high
tariff on articles generally. Yet he did
not, as he might have done, tell our peo
pie that articles (not nutmegs) were
manufactured in this country and taken
to foreign countries and sold cheaper
than they are sold here, while the same
articles made abroad are kept out by the
high tariff. This is the way the Radical
nigh protective tariff is skinning oul
farmers and mechanics. Nor did Mr.
Gray say, as he might have done, tha
the cheapening of iron and articles made
OF iron would cause an increase of work

ana great many other things that are
necessary.
And this is the case with all manufac-
turers. The low price at which we can
now buy nails and hardware induce very
much the building Of houses. If shoyels,

away to make princely fortunes fo,

while a successful man at almost anv
other business is satisfied to make half
the amount in twenty or thirty years.

Gov. seynour,s Letter.

The New York Herdnd refers to Mr..
Seymour's letter as follows: "The
venerable Democratic Ex-Governor sell
dom speaks from the retirement Of his
Deerfeld farm without uttering words of
sage counsel which deserve to be needed
by the whole country as well as by his
own political party. His letter which
we print to-day expresses views from
which very few intelligent and candid
men in this State will dissent. He says
but little on the currency, having given
his views on that subject so often and
with so much emphasis on former occa-
sions. 81 do not believe" he says, "we
can have good currency which is not
redeemable In coin." But he shows his
broad grasp of the commercial situation
by maintaining that resumption Of spe-
Gle payments, desirable and indispensa-
BILE as that is, will not of itself build up
our shattered industries. awhile a bad
currency will harm trade and industry
and good currency will help them, still
it is true that it cannot of itself make
wealth or prosperity"
Wealth consists in the products of la
Dor, and there is no encouragement TO
make products which cannot be sold or
exchanged. What the country most
needs is good markets and cheap access
to them. ave have enough to SELL" he
says, ''and should have more if we could
find markets. The question of the day,
then, is what we can do to sell what we
have and what we can produce. The
answer to that will solve all our troubles,
will make labor glad, give comfort to our
homes, and give life and hope to every
form of industry"
Mr.. Seymour lays the chief stress of
his letter on the importance of cheapen-
ing transportation between the West and
the Atlantic seaboard, and giving our
citizens share in the lucrative carrying
trade on the ocean by free trade in ships.
We cannot recapitulate his striking ar
guments and illustrations, but his letter
is not long, and we commend it to the
perusal of citizens of all parties.

The most usual method OF hunting them is
by snares. These are set in the following
manner "A lake or river is chosen, where 1t
is known the swans are in the habit of rest
inR for some time OF their omiglation
southward-for this is the principal season
OF swan-catching. Some time before the
birds make their appearance, n number OF
wicker hedges, are constructed, running
perpendicularly out from the bank, md
at the distance of a few yards from each
other. In the spaces between, as well
as in openings left in the fences them
selves, snRres are SGT. These snaras arc
the iDtestines of the deer, twisted into n
round shape, and loop-d. They are paced
SO that several snares may embrace the
opening, and the swans cannot pass
through without being caught. The snare is
fastened to n stake, driven into the mud with
sufficient hrmness TO hold the bird when
caught and struggling. That the snare may
not be blown out OF its proper place by the
wind. or carried aStray by the current. it is
attached to the wattles of the hedge by some
strands or grass. These, of course, are easily
broken, and give way the moment n bird
presses against n loop. The fences or waffle
hedges ara always constructed projecting
out from the shore-for il is known that the
swans must keep close in TO the land whilst
feeding. Whenever n lake or river is suf-
ticiently shallow to make itposiible to drive
IN stakes, the hedges are continued across
it from one side to the other. Swans are also
shared upon their nests. When n nest is
found, the snare is set so as to catch the
bird upon her return to the G These

1t IS, indeed, true that this is a habit of

great caution, and any irregularity an
