When the precious metals cease To be
held us commodities Of trade and spcculu-
ton and possess no more purchasing power
than the promises Of the Government, no.
body will want gold and silver except for
special use. This fact will greatly aid in
the surrrs- OF resumption. All that Is
needed is restored confidence, and when
that is re-, he'd the people will rather avoid
than seek gold amd silver as money in amy
considerable amounts in the ordinary trans
actions Of business The New York 7imt :

Now the Opposition is inclined TO assert
its sympathy for Mr. BLAINE MS the under
dog in the fight" this familiar similc being
used 10 convey the idea that some OF the
Republican leaders have set down rather
hard upon Mr. BLAINE because he has pro-
posed an investigation for some one else to
investigate. But their sympathy will be
wasted Mr.. BLAINE docs not desire it, and
when it is rendered TO him by his natural
enemies they are apt to discover that, under
dog as he may or may not be, in hls own
kennel, lie is big enough and great enough
TO take care Of himself among the whiEirts
outside Of IT, The truth is this BLAINE
investigation affair is family quarrel
among Republicans, with which the Demo
Gratis have nothing to do, and if they are
wise they will lei it severely alone. Il they
are not satisfied let them 90 ahead. if they

TIIu platforms Of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties in l-5G were rs like as two
peas and the patriotic prctcnsions of the
leaders Of both parties since then have been
on par each with the other T. II man
up a very remote tree ii would appear that
neither one is better than the other but
experience has taught the people Of this
country who are upon the ground door that
the Democratic is the party Of professions
and the Republican the party of perlurm-
amces. This difference between the two
finds apt and convincing illustration every
day-nOtably, Of late, in the attempt OF the
Republicans to secure fair elections in the
South and the punishment of the violators
of the rights OF citizenship in that section
which have been antag0niEed by the DEM
Orrats. But the most serious difference of
thi. kind resides in the professions and per-
iOrniancrS Of the two parties regarding the
inviOlablity Of the results of the war
While the Democrats proclaim their aban-
dOnmcnt Of the right OF secession, they
! assert by their acts, so Tar rs they can, the
| domination Of the principles Of States
| Rights in their most ultra fOrm everywhere
and on every occasion. The Republicans,
on the contrary, have always been consist

THE attempt of the Opposition TO make
it appear that the Republicans have stood
in the way OF II complete exposure of the
ciphcr-disputch business is simply idiotic.
