The 10Th of February is TO be signal

Boards ofTrade, Merchants Exchanges
and other commercial and Industrial

They come together to discuss and rec

as will directly serve to revive and ex-

Hitherto Government aid by tariff or
subsidies has only been extended to
promote the interests Of manufacturers
and Of internal trade and transporta-
ton. The manufacturer, aided by the
tariff, and still more by the ingenuity
which has devised new machines and
processes, has found himself able to

TIE bondholders are vefy nearly
crazy for fear that silver will be re-
monetized, aud that, therefore, the
premium on gold will rapidly increase
They attempt to picture the distress 1t
will bring upon the laborers, the or
phans, the widows aud the poor We
think their fears are entirely ground
less. When the premium on gold was
much more than Il is now, the labor"
ers, the orphans, the widows and the
