THE TILDEN interview IN which the old
Cipher Ogre was reported to have denounced
the political barbarities of his Southern
fellow Democrats stands unimpeached by
any respectable or trustworthy authority.
The efforts Of certain Democratic organs to
throw the responsibility of that report upon

ONE of the rights of States contended
strenuously for by the Democrats of the
late Confederate States is to borrow money
and then repudiate the debt.

THE "FLATULENT FOOLS who controlled
the late Nebraska Republican Convention
are not afflicted with loneliness. They
shouted for GRANT more emphatically than
their fellow Republicans in New York did
at the Saratoga Convention, and as two
thirds of the Republican party is doing all
over the country, 1t is to be feared from
these facts that hatulency and foolishness
are epidemic just now but we do not APP
prehend any serious danger to the body
polite as the result of this condition of
affairs.

IT is now discovered that those Americans
who join in /" this GRANT reception busi-
ness" are engaged in bowing down in
sycophantic adulation before one man,
"and that an unworthy one" But the dis
coyery is made by a doughiace mudsill, who
is only satisfied when the people are en-
gagged in adulatory worship Of bloody
handed Southern rebels 1t is, therefore,
probable that the American people will
continue as heretofore to pay due, courteous
and dignifed respect to our worthy ex-
President. They will most assuredly not
permit foreign peoples 10 outdo them in
this regard, and will stand acquitted Of all
sycophancy in the light Of intelligent his
tory wherein the truth will be recorded
that one hero and one statesman and one
unselish patriot has been hOnored alike at
home and abroad The Republic will never
be endangered norils perpetuity ieopardized
by bestowal Of proper honors and digni-
ties upon its faithful servants.

The criticism on our short paragraph,
quoted above, challenges an explanation
and an answer. The only statement in
the paragraph that is objected to is this
"The law compels us to be cheated about
IL cents (this should have been 16
cents) on the legal tender dollar" Is
that statement correct or false? Silver,
like any other metal or commodity, has
an intrinsic value; unlike many COM
modities it has comparatively stable
value. The United States and some
other countries use this metal for a coin,
or money. The laws of these countries
declare that certain weight of silver
shall be put into certain coin, and this
coin shall be called dollar, half dollar,
or any other named coin of the country
by which they are issued. Silver in
some countries is a legal tender, as it
now is in the United States. The law
of this country says that 4l2 IL grains
of silver coined after specified pattern
shall be dollar, and that the legal ten
der dollar shall be received, so and so,
for dollar. The above amount of sill
yer costs the government, or would cost
DIR. Hoskins if he wanted to buy it in
bullion, less than IS cents. Now the
fat of the law is, that IS cents worth
of silver shall be dollar, and this is
the cheat that is inflicted on the people
of the United States. Every reader
must have seen the statement, which has
been in all the papers, that up to Ger.
tain date, government had made nearly
two million dollars on the coinage Of
J silver. If government makes certain

REFUN THE NATIONAL
DEBT.

Among the most gratifying things in
national affairs is the rapid refunding
or changing of the national debt into
bonds bearing only four per cent. inter-
est. For the last few months Secretary
Sherman has not only been making sue
cessful arrangements for resumption,
but he has negotiated millions of
bonds at the low rate of four per cent.
These bonds are sold in the market and
their proceeds are used in paying others
of greater interest, thereby saving
several millions dollars in the nation
al interest account. Since New Years
the sales Of the four per cents have av-
eraged about eight millions daily. AT
this rate all of the higher rate bonds
that can be called in will be cancelled
in few months. and our debt, great as
it is, will not be burdensome on account
of interest. The amount of money seek
ing investment in these bonds shows that
there is an immense amount of capital
in the county, and that the nation is
rich, though many are suffering from
hard times.
1t is probable that the low rate of
government interest will reduce interest
generally, and that considerable capital
will be unlocked, which will seek in
vestment at six per cent, or even lower
rates, in real estate security. This will
make times easier, with many who have
been paying higher rate for the last
five years, and will be great blessing
to this part of the country, where many
men are crippled by their heavy inter
est bills.

The potato dealers of Boston are in a
state of considerable activity just at
present owing to the fact that advices
have been received to the effect that an
immediate advance may be expected in
this article owing to speculation. The
reports state that at Chicago many Of
the large pits have been frozen; that
peach blows have advanced from 60 to
rs cents and that early rose were quick
at so and 90 cents, according to lots.
This is an advance of 10 to 10 cents a
bushel for the week. Cincinnati was
firm with only 10000 bushels in stock,
and southern ports free buyers. Balti.
more reports a stock of 223,O00 bushels,
and Washington buyers operating freely
at 80 cents for blues.
