reach Dublin without any mishap, and
stop with Mr. Wm. Jones, who is one of
the merchants Of the village, and Mr..
Orrs friend before alluded to. This
little village, which has q famous name,
is in appearance about like old Pendle-

to judge, was full of cleverness and hos.

saw their first steamboat. 1t is small
boat that will carry about one hundred
bags of cotton, and runs up to a station
called No. IA, where the railroad crosses
the river, and about twenty-five miles
from Dublin. We crossed the river in q
fat and went to an old sandy field with
Mr.. J., who wanted to show the boys
gopher hole and salamanca beds, which
were novel to them. The gophers lie
dormant at this season, and don't come
out until in tie summer. We soon found
plenty of holes and any amount of ,sais,

Mr.. Rust is evidently being lett behind by

and such warnings as the following will
have little weight by the side OF the windy
arguments Of the Bangor Tribune and pa

with passionate elo4uenee accompanied by
violent denunciations Of the capitalists class
arouse the prejudice Of the unthinking, and
gain momen.ary assent, but the sober second
thought can but produce \ reaction damaging
to the cause
The idea OF converting this government into
q great banking institu ton Is too preposterous
for serious consideration. To the eommone.t
mird such q scheme must seem beyond the
scope OF government. One Of the evil tenden n
cies OF the time Is to impose upon the govern
ment functions which do not belong TO II, and
which, II successful, can only operste to dete at
Its legitimate ends. As TO usury, money while
being measure Of value, is also commodity,
and its use commands . price, the same as the
use Of horse Of . livery stable keeper. The
rate OF interest will always be governed BY the
law Of supply and demand. During the good
times when prices were rising aud money was
in brisk demand to invest In the various
branches Of industry, the rate Of interest at the
money centres Was double what il 1, now,
when prices are falling and il is not wanted for
such purposes. As 10 the argument that the
product Of labor belongs TO the lsborer, - well
might 3 man who has sold another horse for

Honest Money Rally.

The meeting at Hancock Hall on Mon
day evening was gratifying in more than
one respect to those who believe In honest
dealing. The same degree of interest and
attention to political questions. cannot be
expected at any other time, which is
manifested by the American people, when
once in four years they are called upon to
weigh the arguments making for or against
candidates for the Presidential chair. Yet
Notwithstanding this. Hancock Hall was
crowded; and crowded too with class OF
men who cannot be humbugged, and
whose opinions exercise an influence in pol
itics. From l-2 o'clock until eleven. you
might have heard q pin drop; while the
rapt attention, and eager faces sur
rounding the able speakers were q eater

that the truths which they uttered struck
