vey the same country. A Con-
gress at Paris under the auspices of
the great Geographical Society to
settle upon the best plan was then
called. Upon arriving there the
representatives, of our Government |
found that the Congress was in all
similar to that assemblage
which we are wont to term |
" packed convention. There we're
one hundred and fifteen members,
and of these, seventy-fve were
Frenchmen, appointed Heaven
knows how or by whom. Thus M.
de Lessep had everything his own
way, and Notwithstanding the
known advantages of the Nicarar
guam, he carried through his Pana-
ma route.
Supposlng, however, that 1t is pos
sible to build the latter way, look
into M. de Lesseps' scheme for rails.
ing finances for it's construction,
shows up very badly against him.
The cost of the canal, according to
such high authority as the Commits
sion Technique, would be, to build
it, 1,044, 100000 francs, and it
would take fourteen years. This
wild Frenchman, however, puts it
down at 500,000,OO0 francs, and
says it can be completed in five
years. He would form a company,
"issue 2OO,OOO,OOO francs of
stock, incur an indebted
ness of 100000 francs,
guarantee an annual interest of FIVE
per cent. pending the construction,
and an annual dividend of eleven
and one-half per cent. after com
pletion.
We had previously thought that
the average soft-money man of this
country had monopoly of all the
visionary, impracticable financial
views of the world but we find our
selves mistaken. He proposes to
spend money all the time and yet
pay large interest although until
the canal is completed there can
possibly be no revenue. Further>
more, he publicly states that the
revenue can not be over 10000, 900
finances year and and yet he would
keep in good repair and working
order this immense work on one-
tenth of one per cent. of the annual
gross receipts. From a glance of
the above figures it is evident that
if the United States waits for de
Lessep's crowd to put it through it
will have to wait until late in the
evening of this world. It would be
a more wonderful thing than any
thing in the Arabian Nights. No
it will have to be American energy
and American capital that builds it.

Silver and the Argus Again.

The argus has at last mustered up cour-
age of silver upon precisely the same basis
as that of gold, the profit or seignorage,
while there is any, to go to the Government
and not to the bonanza men. Here again is
quibble. The argus knows, unless it is
very ignorant, that if the coinage of silver
were put upon precisely the same basis as
that of gold, from ten to fifteen cents on a
a dollar would go into the pockets of the
silver-mine owners. Under the present
coinage laws any man can take 2S.S
and have it fashioned into gold coin that
shall be legal tender for dollar. That is
''free and unlimited coinage" Can any
man take 4123 grains of silver, worth now
about SS cents, to the mint and have re-
turned to him a coin that shall be legal ten
der for a dollar? That would be ''free and
unlimited coinage He cannot do it. The
Government can and does. If any man could
do this he would make profit, at present
rates, of II cents on the dollar; and those
men who mine silver by the ton would make
immense profits if they had the privilege of
''free and unlimited coinage"
But the argus says now that it favors the
retention of the seignorage, or the difference
between the actual value of the silver con-
tanned in dollar and the nominal or legal
has said that it favors the "free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver" and has beseeched
the cooperation of the Greenbackers because
of it's position. We must confess that we
cannot reconcile these two propositions, and
we do not believe the Argus can. 1t GER
tainly has not even attempted the reconcile
alton, but has persistently quibbled.
THE Argus wishes to know if the PRESS
is in favor of the present silver coinage law
or not. The PRESS opposed the law because
it believed in Greshams law that the cur
rency of inferior worth will always displace
that of superior worth; because it believed
that the silver dollar should equal the gold
dollar in intrinsic value; because it thought
silver was too shifting in price to make it
safe standard of value. Those who favored
Vio i'" 0oii'oiluou IldI ollNef once remone-
tized would speedily become the equal of
gold. The PRESS did not believe that. If
silver does rise to the value of gold and does
cease its fluc tuations the PRESS will be very
glad and will acknowledge its error
AS the matter now stands it would
like to see all the nations of the world
adopt the double standard, for that might
equalize gold and silver. But it fears that
the attempt by one nation will only result in
failure, in driving out gold, aud in giving us
in reality single standard and that fuc-
tuating one of silver. If we are to have but
one standard the PRESS prefers gold because
it is more convenient and puts this country
in better position toward the other nations

That War Record.
[Kennebec Journal.1


There are people who throw discredit upon
the military record of Daniel F. Davis by re-
marking with apparent candor, 1--WE don't
want to iniure Mr.. Davis; far be it from us to
detract anything from his record as a soldier;
but in looking at the Adiutant Generals re-
port we find that he is put down as missing
which of course means he was never in battle
he couldn't have been, you see, as he was
MIssING!" Now to show how unfair this state
ment is, we will rcite the cases of two of our
own citiZens-war-worn yeterans-Mr. James
Brett and Mr. Sol. Gordon. The former be-
longed to the 10th Maine Regiment, and the
latter to the 9th Maine Regiment. Consulting
the Adjutant's Generals report, we find the
mere record of their names, age, date of en-
listment and date of discharge-nothing more;
that's the full record. Now measured by the
gauge which the maligners of Mr.. Davis as
sumo, Brett and Gordon were never in action!
for the Adiutant Generals report doesn't say
anything about it. How unjust, when II is
certainly known that James Brett participated
in every battle in which his regiment was en-
gagged, and Gordon was ever in the thickest Of
the fight Thus may be seen the unfairness Of
such criticism. 1t would take q big Adjutant
Generals report to give the personal expert
ence of every individual soldier.

ACCORDING to an Augusta correspondent
of the argus affairs are so carelessly man
aged in the office of the Democratic Adju-

spondent slanders Gen. Leavitt, and that
his letter is entirely untruthful. Will he
produce the letter published or unpublished,
in which Lieut.. Edward P. Tobie declares
that he did not write war biography Of
Mr.. Davis? Or will the correspondent of
the Argus by silence acknowledge his false
hood?

THE State Democrat shows no signs
of shame. 1t processes to be satisfied
with the "cvidence" the Standard brings
against Mr.. Davis. That is, it prefers the
unsupported word of the Standard to the
testimony of the soldiers who fought by Mr..
Davis's side and testify of their own knowl-
edge to his soldierly qualities-soldiers the
State Democrat sneeringly calls ''chaplains
or hospital bummers.' 1t ignorantly thinks
that because Mr.. Bolton is an elder of the
Methodist church now he must have been a
chaplain then. On the contrary he was the
Orderly Sergeant of the company in which
Mr.. Davis served. As for those brave and
faithful soldiers, some MANNED in the SER
vice of the Union, whom the Democrat
calls ''hospital bummers,'' we leave them to
settle the account. Neither they nor their
comrades will readily forget the slander put
upon them.

THERE is an old story of young woman
who encouraged a reluctant youth by ex-

are going to kiss me! You are stronger
than l am and you are going to take advan-
tage of my weakness! 1 shall certainly
screanl-but then the folks are all away and
nobody will hear mer' Apparently the
Springvale Reporter has heard this story
and is willing to profit by its knowledge. In
speaking of the ArOosto0k Sunrise it saws:
''It was not well supported and was on the
verge of suspension when Blaine supplied
the funds to keep it alive in consideration of
the change in politics. Now we want to
make a practical application of this matter.
We hope the Greenbackers. of York County
will not allow us to be placed in a position
that will subject us to any such temptation"
And then it goes on to solicit subscriptions.
The Reporter should not get frightened 1t
is not in the least danger in that direction.

of its weakness for the world But higher
power will take it in hand if it continues to
tell such whoppers as that one about the
