WHIPPING THE DEVIL AROUND THE
STUMP."-The advocates ofthe single gold
standard are now to take another tack,
as the old tars would say. They will now
contend that the silver dollar of 412i
grains is not heavy enough, and urge
that it will be acceptable if AGA or 42O
grains of silver is put in it. Now this is
simply gaining their end in another
way. By this process they would gain
just so many more grains of silver more
than was contracted for every time a
bond or their interest was paid. They
can't fool the people that way.

THE LOUISIANA RETURN BOARD RAs'
GALS, after attempting to defy the State
officials, and being protected in the New
Orleans Custom House for day, were
consigned to prison on Saturday; Wells
having in the meantime fled the State
U. S. Attorney General Devens refused
protection to the scoundrel, but the .
s. Marshal at New Orleans arrested the
Sheriff when he went to the Custom
House to arrest the return board rascals
1t was while the Sheriff was held under
arrest awaiting orders from Washington
that Wells escaped.

THE GOLD GAMBLERS should have a
care how they provoke the people by
calling them repudiators. They have
enough to bear in the thought that they
are bequeathi,,g TO their unborn babes tdS
now that is a crying evil. What right
have the young people to bear the evils
inflicted by this debt. They do not usu-
ally pay the debts of their parents, and
when such debts are known to be con-
tracted with usury they mostly refuse to
pay as often do also executors and adj
ministrators. Have care Wall street
must not attempt to throttle and spit upon
the people at the same time.

CONGRESS has its Smalls, the colored
convict of South Carolina, and the House
at Harrisburg has its Bullard, the prison
bound Representative from Delaware
Phiia. Times.
You are little too fast Colonel, Della
ware does not yet belong to your State,
and has no Bullard in your Legislature
A little more care If you please. We are
honest people in Delaware and have no
such cases as "Bullard."

THE gold in dollar Is 25s grains and is
worth in bullion about 80 cents, if silver
were remonetizeG and gold demonetized
the gold bullion in dollar would be
worth about NJ cents. In coming gold
the mints use one eleventh part of copper
so that the gold standard coin is IL per
cent. copper alloy, and the alloy is what
pays for the coinage of both metals.

HAYES WILL NOT VETo the Silver Bill
if it passes with as large a majority as
Stanley Matthews resolution did. That
resolution is sufficient itself to excuse
him from any misgivings he may have
had. That resolution carries three-fourths
of all the members of Congress, and the
proportion of the people in favor of it is
larger than three fourths. They don't
irish to he governed by Wall street, and
Hayes knows it,
The daily gazette., 1878-01-28

THE PEOPLE of this country have es-
capped more danger than they are aware
of. We have seen what could have been
done with the army by Grant and the
Shermans, assisted by Ferry, Edmunds
and the Chambers, et al, in the Electoral
count. We are told by those in the Sc
crets of this fraud, that the nation was
saved from bloody revolution then only
by the submission of the Democratic
people to the counting-in of Hayes. Hay-
ing escaped this the people were to be
bound by fraud no less as gross and de-
ceptive, in the passage of laws, without
reading or printing, affecting their whole
monetary system, through both houses.
Passage" we have said but those bills
were not "passed" either House. 1t is a
falsehood to say that acts can be passed
that are not read the several times re-.
qured, and inquiries of which by Repre-
sentatives and Senators are not answered,
or, being answered, were falsely answered,
as In the Senate by Senator John Sher-
man, when the act demonetizing silver
was put through the Senate. But this
fraud did not stop here. Boutwell,, the
notorious Boutwell, ex-chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee and ex-Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, now chairman of
the Commission to compile the U. S.
Statutes, took the liberty to alter the
law in the publication of the Statutes. by
which the silver dollar was demonetized
pthout tdoo. These various acts in con-
nection with the Q. S. banking system,
and the ring of bondholkers, abroad
and at home, were as near getting the
liberties of the people in their hands
rs Grant and the Shermans were in get.
ting the nation. Had Congress not beer
changed and Democratic House substi
tuted for the corrupt one under the ole
bayonet rule, or Hayes been as bad {
man as the Chambers, Packard ant
Chamberlain, and the participators il
Returning Board rascalities expected
him to be, our liberties would not hav,
been worth groat, for the Army Ring
mad already succeeded by getting few
votes to get all the soldiers to carry on
their schemes, and put down rebellion
where they were most likely to occur.

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
has prohibited any State coming money
1t retains this power itself to coin all the
money which we require as legal tenders.
In other words the government alone
provides "coined" money. And when
we take piece of silver on which the
impress of the government of forty mil
lions is stamped signifying dollar, the
value and usefulness of that piece is GER
tainly increased. Commercially it is
worth 10o II cents more being increased
chat much by the labor and skill expend-
ed uponit But as means of traffic, rpur-
chaser, its character is still more increas-
ed. Any one can tell this by getting q
silver dollar and piece of silver of the
same size, weight and fineness, that has
not been coined, and with the two pieces
go into market and see what can readil,
be bought with them. He will find thai
the silver dollar will purchase anything
of that value, but the piece of silver will
be rejected.

TO GET OUT OF DEBT.


To a young man in debt, Benjamin
Franklin gave the following advice;
Make a full estimate of all you owe,
and all that is owing to you. Reduce
the same to note. AS fast as you col.
lect, pay over to those you If you
cannot, renew your note every year,
and get the best security you can. Go
to business diligently and be industri-
GUS, waste no idle moments; be very
economical in all things, discard all
pride; be faithful to your God, by reg
ular and hearty prayer night and morn
ing; attend church and meeting regu-
larry every Sunday; and do unto all
men as sou would they should do unto
you. If you are too needy in circum-
stances to give to the poor, do what
eve else is in your power to do cheer
fully. But if you can, help the poor
and unfortunate. Pursue this course
diligently and sincerely for seven years
and il you are not happy, comfortable
and independent in your circumstan-
ces, come to me and l will pay your
debts. -
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-07-21

Of his drunkenness upon the saloon
keeper. When we place the response
bility upon the drinker himself, and let
him know that it is a crime against his
family and society, for which he will
be held strictly accountable, we will
begin to check the vice. Agreat many
young lei have come to the conclu-
sion that it is a good thing to ''sow a
few wild OATS - and a few drinks more
or less will not initiate against their
Responsibility and their entree into the
best society. Drunkenness is a crime,
and the drnnkard is a criminal. If he
fails to murder or run through the cal
endar of crime, it is because the cir
c~umstances do not favor it, and not
because he has not fitted himself for
the work. Young man, you yourself
are responsible If you become a drunk
ard and an o~utcast. You SOW in the
saloon, and you reap in the prison yard
and upon the scaffold the harvest of
your ruined life.
