The other night, in one of his Western
speeches, Blaine spoke of the intrinsic value
of gold, that it was good in all countries, in
all ages, and among all people. At this
point Greenback-nat fellow shouted out,
"Who made it good ?" Without moments
hesitation Blaine answered, ,"God Almighty"
The poor chap thought he could catch Blaine
its value to the Government stamp upon it.,
but Blaine asserted that a gold coin issued
in the time ofJulius CRscr is worth as much
to-day as a coin Of the same weight issued
from our mint, without regard to the stamp
npon il.

and notes converted into gold dollars are,
every sensible man understands. The gold
dollar is real, tangible, and forms q reliable
basis for calculation. But the abandonment
of specie payments, the rejection Of the gold
dollar, mean that the conduct Of our finan-
cial affairs isto be delivered into the hands of
class of fnanciers whose theories and
schemes move in the realm Of Imagination.
If you desire the resumption of specie pay
ment you must not substitute greenbacks
for the national bank currency and thus put
upon the government a load of paper money
beyond its capacity of redemption. If you
want gold to circulate you must not keep
the volume of paper money beyond the re-
quirements Of the business of the country ;
for the excess of that paper money present.
ing itself again and again for redemption
will drain the Treasury of its reserves and
drive gold into our foreign commerce. If
you want to guard the business of the coun-
try from disturbance by fluctuations of re-
lative value between gold and silver, and if
you desire gold to remain a part of your cir
cuating medium at all, you must limit the
coinage of silver to that quantity which can
be absorbed by the retail trade, and accor-
dingly fix Its legal tender character.

fremont Temple, Boston, was crowded
to sutlocation Monday evening by an au-
dience assembled to hear Secretary Carl
Schurz speak on finance and the need of a
defnate policy to bring about resumption
of specie payments. Besides those who
gained an entrance to the building, thous-
ands were turned away by the police. Mr.
Schurz appeared on the platform accom-
panied by Senator Hoar, Governor Talbot,
Collector Beard and oneo two other gentle
men. lie was received with a tremendous
burst of applause, and at once entered on
his theme.
Mr.. Schurz believed that every candid
observer admitted that the country was al
ready feeling firm ground under its feet and
he alluded to the efforts of the inhationists
10 prevent resumption, which, if successful,
would result in abundance of money" and
high prices in consequence Of deprecated
paper currency. That was the greenbackers'
dream. Yet there was no doubt but that
many well meaning people believed that
with an expansion of paper currency would
come increased prosperity. Here the speaker
summed up the arguments of this class,
showing that what was worth 81 10 in Jan
uary, 1862, rose to 81 80 in October, besides
the confidence felt in the government by the
facility with which money was made, but
they did not see that we were running reck-
lessly into debt all that time, our money be-
ing merely promises to pay. Now the time
to pay had come. Butadmitting the green
hackers view Mr.. Schurz considered it
doubtful that an inflated currency would
have the effect obtained in 1862. The cir
cumstances were different, the occasion an
extraordinary and abnormal one. Here the
speaker rapidly reviewed the state of affairs
that existed when the greenbacl dollar was
first issued and the blindness with which
the capitalist and the merchant went on
with venture after venture, hoping that the
day OF reckoning would never come in his
time. But the circumstances which sur
round US to-day are very different. Ifnew
emissions Of government paper currency
could be constlmtionally made in time Of
peace, which | do not believe, those ennis
sions would not appear as the creature of a
commanding public necessity. 1t would be
remembered that we can have a money svs-
TEN based Ipon the precious metals if we
desire, tHr it is within our reach. The eX-
panslon and porpetuation of irrcdeemabe
paper money would eventually be euuiva-
lent TO the rejection of that money system
based upon the precious metals. What
specie payments mean, what gold dollar

The Boston journal says that General
Butler got about 100000 as his share of the
5000, 900 prizc-money owing to the sailors of
Farragut's fleet, or their widows and chill
drcn, and that he kept the interest (about
$1,000 year. on money drawn from Gov
ernment by him for military asylums. lie
lodged the money in banks in his own name,
to be at interest till he drew it out for the
asylums. The amount was about Sl5OOOO
a year. This went on for years. He mixed
this money with his own, and will not show
his books.
The General is thecandidate ofthe Green
hackers for Governor of Massachusetts, and
a great pet with the same party in this re-
gon, who are opposed to bond-holders and
others who live on the interest of their oiCn
money, Poor Greenbackers, poor Butler!

1t is estimated that the annual damages
caused by the ravages of insects and worms
exceed $4,000 900 in the United States
alone. Truly an enormous loss Yet it
sinks into insignificance when compared
with the ravages otthat more terrible scourge,
Consumption, which annually sweeps hun
dreds Of human souls into eternity. The
causes Of consumption are various, depend
ing in every instance for the development
of the disease upon the scrolulous diathesis,
or temperament, of the victim. Thus the
same cause which will produce in one per-
son an acute disease or slight nervous pros
tption, will cngender consumption in a
scruiulous habit. That consumption can be
cured by proper treatment will be readily
perceived when the exact nature of the dis
ease is understood, viz: the accumulation
and deposition of scroiulous matter Uuber-
cles) in the lung. Obviously, the principal
remedies required are % powerful altera-
tive, or bloOd-puriter, to arrest the accumu-
lations and also cleanse the blood of the
scrofulous matter and (2) a mild cathartic
to eNpel the diseased matter from the system.
ms course OF treatment, in conjunction with
strict hygienic regime, has proved the
most successful method of curing this dis
ease. DR.. Pierce'sGolden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the best
Alternative and cathartic remedies before the
public, and have been alone used in thous-
ands of cases of consumption with the most
marked efficacy. Dr. Perce's Invalids' Ho-
tel, at Buffalo, n. y, affords special and un-
equaled advantages To consumptives, not
only possessing the best medical and hvgien-
ic means Of treatment, but having the es-
sential advantage of being situated in a
climate where the inhabitants are notably
free from this disease.

The Greenback Shenandoah Herald set
ties the contest in the Eleventh Congressional
district in behalf of the Nationals at one fell
swoop, 1t says there is no doubt the Ma
tional party will poll 5000 votes in Column
bia county, 900 in Montour, $500 in Car
bon, 600 in Monroe, 25O in Pike, and 5000
in the portion of Luzene contained in the
district. This will make total of l2,2jO,
which would be handsome plurality in a
triangular fight, and, with four candidates
in the field, will give Mr.. Orvis twice as
many votes as either of his competitors"

ccipu Of nonresident Gre insurance
companies in Pennsylvania aggregated

lJsses and expenses on Pennsylvania
business, there remained profit Of
s23$ 24i. Out Of this prof. the compa,
nies were compelled to pay taxeA on
the gross receipts amounting to s69.9S5,
and also tax on their capital stock OF
