When the plague was raging in London, In
the seventeenth century, q trunk full OF
infected clothing reached the village OF
Eyam, many miles distant from the me-
tropolis, aud a dozen cases of plague mani
tested themselves there at once. Instead OF
fleeing in panic from the place. the people OF
Eyam resolved to remain in their village
fearing, however, that they would commune
cate the disease to their neghbors, they re-
solved to isolate and quarantine the village
from all communication with the outside
world A message was accordingly sent to
the neighboring villages, warning their in
habitants not to come to Eyam and request
ing them to deposit each day at o neighbor-
ing spring enough food for the people of
Eyam. For months the infected village was
cut off from the rest of the world; the
plague ragged within its limits, but, thanks TIC
the heroism of the people of Eyam. the
neghboring towns escaped altogether this
terrible visitation.
Port Gibson has resorted to measures some
what similar to those tried at Eyam. Yellow
fever being reported in that town, 1t has at
once taken steps to prevent its spread, not

country. The board of health not only pro-
hibits all persons from going from Port Glib
son to the surrounding country save physi'
clans and clergymen in attendance on the
sick, but forbids all persons in the country
from coming nearer town than the quarantine
stations Thus the country people are kept
out of town and the town people out Of ths
country, and the spread of the fever to
great extent prevented.

that this firmness, fortitude and preparation

by competent authority, felt that 1t
was binding-so binding, indeed, that
it could not be repealed to the pre-
judice of those to whom it was given.
Is the act of 1873 of such a case and
character! To whom does it make
solemn pledge that the constitutional
power of Congress to coin money and
to regulate the value thereof shall
never be exercised until the public
debt shall have been fully paid |! Why
and wherein is the coinage act Of 1873
more sacred and irrepealable than the
coinage act of 1884 which it modified I!
Does the power to coin money AMI
regulate the value thereof belong to
the class of powers that once exercised
become exhausted! If that were so
the power had been exhausted before
the passage of the act of 1873; or is it
the right of the public or private
creditor. either, to say to Congress
you shall not exercise the CONSTITUTE
onal power of coming money and
regulating the value thereof, because
by changing the standard you may
change the value of investments ! We
have not recognized such a rule.
There would be force in such a. claim,
under the act of 1870, which provides
for payment Of the bonds Sin coin of
the present standard value" The
act of 1873 contains no pledge nor
contract. 1t is legislation under a
continuing power of Congress, and
subject to repeal or amendment. like
any other law passed under the same
power. 1t is not, therefore, in my
judgment, a question of public faith,
but one of expedience only. Being
such, itseems to me the part of wisdom
to have some regard to the condition
OF financial distress that exists in the
country, and to the disturbed state of
the public mind that pervades
large portion of the country. Any
change in the coinage is always a
delicate and important work, and
should be made only after the most
careful consideration of all the
interests of the country.
Should silver money be restored l
have thought So The pledge of 1859
Of payment in coin and the assurance
in the act of 1870 of payment in coin
1T the standard value would seem to
almost to require it. Com
pliance with the contract cannot be a
preach of public faith. Our country
IS large producer of silver. The
quality of money is important to it's
value. l think that when restored
silver will approach and perhaps reach
gold in value, but should experience
prove that it must remain below gold
because of it's greater production,
Congress has ample powers to provide
against any evils likely to follow.
Very respectfully,

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

One hundred years ago not pound
OF coal; not a cubic foot of illumina-
ting gas had been burned in this coun.
| try. No iron stoves were used, and
no contrivances for economizing heat
were employed until DIR. Franklin in
vented the iron framed fireplace,
which still bears his name. All the
cooking and warming in town and
country were done by the aid of fire,
kilsdled in the brick oven on the
llesrth. Pine knots or tallow candles
furnished the light of the long winter
nights and sanded floors supplied the
place OF rugs and carpets. The water
used for household purposes was
drawn from deep wells by the creak-
ing sweep" No form Of pump was
used in this country, SO far as we can
learn, until after the commencement
OF the present century. There were
no friction matches in those early
days, by the aid of which a fire could
BE- EASILY kindled; and if the fire went
out upon the hearth overnight, and
the finder was damp, so that the
spark would not catch, the alternative
remained of wading through the snow
a mile or SO to borrow brand of a
neishbOr. Only one room in a house
wa$ warm, unless some Of the family
were ill; in all the rest the tempera-
tnre was at zero many nights in the
winter. The men and women Of a
hundred years ago undressed and
went to their beds in temperature
colder than that of our modern barns
and wood sheds, and they never COM
planned.

Act could only take the nightmare of
the land. We are the debtor nation
of the world, and our currency must
be cut down to less than $3.50, 00O, 300
to make it redeemable in coin. 1t the
resumption act is not repealed, the
taxation next year would be increased
so per cent, and then the cry would
be reputation. GreenbackS are the
best currency we ever had, and should
not be tempered with. Three thous-
and incorporated institutions, holding
four or five billions of wealth, have
imposed the resumption scheme on
the country, and if carried out they
can rule, and rob us and our children
forever. The apple of discord abOQt
the status of. the negroes and the dan
ger from the Southern whites, enabled
that power to manage our Legislation
and finances. The resumption scheme
was put through Republican canclis'
without moments consideration.
The opponents of it wanted the New
England people to join them, but the
papers here seem to be wound up by
the money powers, (cries of 'snow
you've got it." That's so'' etc.) In
conclusion the speaker commented on
the danger to our free institutions,
of a press owned by unchecked
wealth, so that it might become All
enemy instead of friend to the peO-
pie. He did not mean to make TRADE
against wealth, but organized wealth,
acting on political questions, was as
hostile to our free institutions as the
Mohammedan power to tn, Christian
civilization in Europe. Cheers.l At
the conclusion of Ewing's speech the
meeting adjourned.
