FRIEND MCMAsrER,

klEND MCNlASTER,
DEAR SIR sec by a note il
yours of last week you suggest that
had better stick to the old democratic
party. Allow me to say that shall
follow no party as such in that which
| think is wrong, or excuse them fol
sins of omission. l regard the ques
ton of currency the question before
the American people and the demo
Gratis have not in congress or in the
press of the country raised a voice OF
made an effort to disabuse the indus
tries OF the country from the cursed
impositions Of republicanism. Why
do not the democrats as a body OPP
pose the creation of bonds bearing in.
terest for labor to pay and advocate
the issue of legal tender paper for the
relief of business The party must
come into line or the laboring classes
of both parties WILL take the affairs of
currency into their own hands. They
will not lie down supinely and get
showed into serfdom without a strug-
gle. Yours truly,
d. TARBELL.
If our friend Daniel has read the
Age OF June 26th, he will see that the
democratic party of Vermont was the
first organization in the State to adopt
this theory of greenbacks for National
Bank Bills. Therefore, we say again,
stick to your friends. You cant pull
down the mansions of the rich with
out seriously affecting the. cabins Of
the poor.

OUR SURPLUS PARIS COMMISSIONERS.

II is becoming evident that tho Paris Com
missioners business has been greatly over
done in this country, as the result of
vaulting ambition to be "hon-
ored," which has o'erleaped itself 1t Is
stated that under the rules of apportionment
adopted at the Paris Exposition only part of
the Commissioners accredited from the United
States will obtain admission in their official
capacity. Along with this comes the announce
ment that an international agricultural con-
gress will assemble at Paris on the 10th of
June. Now, it strikes us that this convocation,
to which it would not DO difficult for any
American of average intelligence who expects
to be Ii Paris at the time to obtain creden-
tas from his State or more local agricultural
association, will afford capital chance to be-
come useful.
This remark will Of course apply to our Com
missioners If they are conscious Of being equal
to the requirements of the situation. But wo
doubt whether any one can name single man
amongst the small crowd Of appointees (which
is estimated at $50, paid aud honorary
together, who are supposed to be rep
resentatives Of this great nation, whose
itnesss to represent creditably its great basic
interest ever entered into tho thoughts OF
the Governors of the several States on who IN
for the most part, President HAYES so eva.
sively, from dread Of opportunities, as we in-
fer, threw the responsibility Of their selec'
tion. If such men have been accidentally Sc.
lected, and will be on hand at this important
conscntaneous congress, 1t will be the result OF
mere curiosity rather than desire to be use
full.
In too many cases mere personal or political
f,voritiSm controlled In the selection OF
the Commissioners from the several States
not fitness for their mission with refer
ence to oven the moro direct purpose of theii
presence if they had any beyond sightseeing
and nOtOricty, in ia belle France" as her en-
thusiastic sons love to designate her.
OF the aforesaid ono hundred and fifty Com
missioners, more or less-likely to become
rather moro than less by some pretext or othe
it Is understood that only small proportion
will be recognized, or. indeed, could be equita
bly,, even to the extent of entering the Expo
sition as ad-heads. This being so, the agri
cultural congress will open to tho excludes
ones door Of decided usefulness to their owl
country to say nothing Of the rest of tn
world. In 1t they ought to be able TO illustrat
our agricultural greatness with the sctua
facts, and with arguments enforcing our claim

DAEA 70 be o lunatic, one-half the tworld
mut be out Of its sensea His libels and
slanders against public men and measures
are poured forth through the columns Of
the Svs In such continuous screams column
after column appearing in each issue, and
his malignant, nevcr-ending hatred to ev-
erything that does not pay quick tribute to
his personal ambitions or yield to his ideas
Of affairs proves that he Is all and more
than the Rcpubtic says he is. However,
there Is q method in his madness; the scan
dal-loying public buys the Snn, and 1t
brings money to his purse to play the part
OF Ishmaelite Old man rs he is, with one
foot in the grave, the other tottering on its
brink, with a past record earned by public
service In the War Department, in litcra-
ture, and in brief period Of respectable con-
nection with reputable journals he seems sat
isfcd now to win and deserve that title of
lshmaelite. No thought of the future deters
him, and there is nothing appalling to his dis
ordered mind in the certainty.that when he
has gone from earth few, very few, of his
fellow-creatures will mourn his loss. He
even fails to inspire the admiration yielded
to such outlaws as the JAMES boys or the
YOUNGER brothers, for his readers fail to
find in his cowardly assaults single parti.
