The Fat MANS Convention

We can see some pleasure, if no reason, in
the converting of baby show, but we con-
TESS we could never see the slightest cause,
reason or otherwise, for a fat mans conven-
ton, unless it he the fact that misery loves
whose several weights range from two hun
dred to three hundred pounds, to hold con-
vention simply because of so much surplus
avoirdupois, is absurd to say the least. It be-
comes doubly so when we reflect that obes-
ity is desease. What weuld we think of as
many persons emaciated by consumption
holding convention to compare their rela-

which we would advocate another fat mans
convention, and that is that hey will meet

only known remedy for obesity. It is safe

was not forgotten. Among the gifts received
by him was delicately-perfumed package

and arrived by post The address was simply,
"To President Hayes. Executive VI ,nsion,

tenderly, and, after some speculation upon the
part Of the assembled family and half dozen
visitors. he proceeded to remove the wrapper,
Layer after layer of fine. soft, scented paper
was removed, and, rs the snowy sheets fell ia
the floor. the package diminished in size. until
it finally became doubtful whether anything
Of more substantial character would be found

A Worthy Example.

The French have been regarded as q vol
atile. frivolous people, unsuitcd to the more
dull and substantial probabilities Of life
but VIC apprehcnd that the world has mis-
judged their true character. At all events they
are putting on the vestmcnts of sound sense
and stern practicability. The French As
sembly has recently passed a bill authoriz-
ing the government to borrow SS0OO00OO
for the purpose of carrying on the needed
internal improvements in France prominent
among which are the widening and deepen
Ing of the great canal of Lanquedoc. II
now remains for the Senate to vote the
amount asked for, and then before many

priutions for all Government works, 50 that

| tcrnal Improvements, our harbors, and our
coast dcfenscs may be put in proper condi-
| ton to defend our rights against the outer
world, and protect and foster our CONNER
cial and industrial interests everywhere
throughout our common country. This is
true craftsmanship, because it seeks the
good of the people at large. The United
States are rs much in need of internal
improvements and coast dcicnscs as France
can be, and never were the people of Amer.
lea AS much in need Of employment and It's
rewards as AT the present moment. Our re-

why Suspend and why Resume.

The Congress of the United States, in
1873, authorized the coinage of debased sill
yer coins representing fractional parts Of
dollar, and omitted to authorize the further
coinage ~ the silver dollar OF il2l grains,
which was the standard unit of value. This
omission was profcssedly and purposcly made
because of the scarcity and consequent supe-
rior value Ofthe silver standard dollar Itcom-
manded a premium in the coin market when
it was wanted. But gold was plentiful and
comparatively cheap, and the same act which
authorized the dcbnscd silver coinage of frac-
tional parts of dollar and failed to author
ize the coinage Of the standard silver dol
lar, also declared the gold dollar to be the
standard or unit of value" As we were
using but little coin while greenbacks were
legal tender, and no one thought of resum-
ing specie payments then, there was NO hue
and cry made by the bond-bolders
against this action Of Congress to get
rid Of paying out silver coin at par
for interest on the public debt when it COM
manded higher premium than gold in the
market. Everybody conceded that we had
a right to cease the coinage of the silver
dollar for time, if we chose to do so and
there is no doubt that we had. Now that
silver for various reasons has become more
plentiful, and we choose to resume the coin
age of the old standard dollar of like weight
and fineness, which was then suspended, it
is contended that we cannot do it without
cheating somebody. Does not the right to
stop coming imply the right to resume it ?
and if the scarcity of the metal was sufii-
cient reason for suspension of coinage at
that time, should not a plethora be an
equally good excuse for its resumption? 1t
seems that when the gold dollar was de-
clarcd the unit of value" it was not deemed
necessary to increase its weight and fine
ness so as TO make it equal in value to the
silver dollar; but now we hear some sug.
gestions that we should increase the weight
OF the dollar of our daddies," so as to make
| it of like market value with the gold dollar
The very fact Of resuming its old place in the
coin family will place it on par with gold
as every man of sense ought easily to see
when his mind is once Invested of prejudice

the exercise Of the same care, caution and
solicitudc, with which we surround the con-
valescing patient. The efforts that were
reasonable in health, arc destructive
to the system shattered by disease
and weakened by wasting sickness.
However men may differ as to the causes,
the fact is clear to all, that the productive
power Of this people and their present ability
to pay taxes has been largely diminished
during the past five years.
All men know that the original pur-
chasers OF the United States bonds paid for
them FIR less than their present value, and
that If il were left TO equity, and not to the
terms of the contract, the equities arc all
on the side oftlc people, who are engaged to
pay the bonds II is ill-advised, then, for tic
bond-holders to seek to change the terms OF
the contract in their own favor, and 1t is, to
say the least, unseemly for those who have
attempted to falsify the words Of the bond
by substituting gold for Coin" to as
sumo superior honesty.
| In,thus founding their protests against
the silver bill on n lie, the bond-holders and
their journals hive "sown the wind" and
must not be surprised If they "rcap the
whirlwind" Starving men will not stop to
theorze upon abstract propositions of po'
litical economy, nor will they be apt to
take as authority the utterance of journals
who have persistently urged in the face oi
fact, that the word coin" meant gold
II, in the reaction against this false asser-
tion and in disgust at the persistent greed
Of the bond-holder, the country is not in
