Troup ridiculed the idea the other night
in his speech at the Cushnoc House, about
gold being the money Of the world. and
claimed that paper money was just as good
to take abroad as gold or silver. On this
point the following from one of Eben F..
Pillsbury's editorials in the Standard is a
good answer: business led us into the
british Provinces few years ago.
Our greenback money would not pass

land discount some fifteen per cent, if we
remember correctly. to exchange for Pro-
''vincial bank bills. Their paper money
was redeemable In gold, while ours was
''based on faith alone. and that made the
difference. Do we want to submit al
ways to humiliations of that character ?

Troup had better see Pillsbury and get
his speech adjusted to the fusion pro-
gramme before he proceeds much farther.

INDIAN DEPREDATIONs.

The fair reader shudders when she thinks
of the poor settlers wife, watching from the
door of her rude hut, the retreating form of
her husband going out to his daily labor
going out perhaps to return not again. for
before nightfall a savage hand may have laid
him low among the prairie grasses. Or it
may be child, a bright-eycd daughter is
snatched away in an unguarded moment to
grace the next war dance. When we read
the heart-rending details of these savage dep
relations, we are apt to blame the govern
mcnt for not taking more strict precautions
to insure the settlers protection. But we
daily read of the depredations of that arch
ficnd, consumption, with scarcely a thought
of the terrible inroads it is making in human
life. Tens of thousands of homes are annu-
ally desolated by consumption to one by In
dian outrages. Like the Indian, consumption
oftenest comes stealthiy, and no danger is
apprehended until the victim suddenly finds
himself hopelessly cnsnared, and deaths ia
tai arrow ends the scene. DIR. Pieces Golden

Savagery OutdOne.

The letter of Col. McFadden of Wis
casset found in our columns this morning,
is interesting reading. The Maine STAN
dard published All article stating that he
was in the rebel army, and so worded it
as to make it appear that he was there
from choice. This having been brought
to the notice of Col. McFadden, he sent a
letter to the Maine Standard-not denying
that he was in the rebel army. but ex-
planning that he was impressed into the
rebel service while residing in the South,
in the year 1861, and escaped to the Union
lines at the first opportunity after six
months service in the rebel army
and requested the editor as matter
of justice to publish his explanation.
This the editor of the Standard refused to
do, and while keeping the letter in his
pocket wrote and published reply to it
in his paper, saying in his reply that he
had stated the case against Col. McFad-
den very mildly in the first article. and
then proceeded to enlarge upon and ag-
gravate the first accusation.
To wind up this unjust treatment of n
man whom he had cruelty slandered, the
editor Of the Standard declared that his
reason for not publishing Col. McFadden's
letter was that republican papers refused
to retract their statements concuring
his (Pillsbury's) responsibility IN
the Kingfeld riot. also statements con-
corning DIR. Lancaster, and therefore he
would not publish McFadden' letter which
would expose and refute the SANDER per-
petrated by the Standard upon him.
In fine, sthe editor of the Standard, in
treating Col. McFadden as he has, is re-
taliating upon him, All innocent person,
for fancied injuries which somebody else
has committed upon him (Pillsbury).
This Is more barbarous code of retalia-
ton than that of the savages. They per-
NIT the relatives of murdered person to
pursue and slay with IMMUNITY the person
who murdered their relative. but Pills
bury's code claims the right to strangle-
not solely the person who he thinks may
have injured him-but every member of
the republican party who falls into his
hands, though he be as innocent rs the
angels Of any offence against him. The
savage Zulus have higher sense of JUS
tice and right than to act upon such re-
taliatory principle as that which the edi-
tor of the Standard proclaims to be the
rule in that office. Col. McFadden's let
ter puts the matter in clear light

The National Debt.

Republican papers are procaiming that the
financial administration of their party is a
success, and that it has been and is now pay
ing the national dept. This is false. The
national debt is larger to-day than in 60.
To-day we owe not so many dollars,
but what dollars we owe have been doubled
in value, and so the debt is much greater now
than in 90 In what sense then has the ma
tional debt been reduced If we are wrong
when we say the national debt is nor larger
than in Go, will some republican editor show
us our error?-Nofionot Tribune.
The above is a specimen Of the misrep-
resentation to which the greenback papers
are treating their readers. The dollar
in which the debt of the government is
mainly to be paid has not been increased
in value since 1865. The dollar which
the debt called for then was the coin dol
in cases Of short loans where
it was otherwise specified in the contract
and the coin dollar. as everybody knows,
was as valuable then as now. The fallacy
in the Tribune's statement is in the as
sumption that our bonds were payable in
paper money.

The greenback speaker Troup inquired
with great flourish the other evening,
why it is that the farmer cannot be sup
piled with bills by the government, to I'M
prove his farm, on the same conditions that
the banker receives bills from the govern
ment to go into banking. An association
of farmers can establish bank just as
we'll as anybody else, if they have the
bonds required, for banking is as free to
farmers as to others, and can employ the
circulation they have in farming if they
like it. II they don't do it it is not the gov
ernment's fault, but probably because

A GREAT DISCOVERY.

There is now living near Catasauqua,
Penna., in hearty old age, the mao who
discovered how to use anthracite coal in the
manufacture of iron. His name is David
Thomas, and the story of his discovery he
thus narrates
"One winter night, in the old country,
sat with Mr. Crane,a brother superintendent
of blast furnace over crate fire of hard
coal. We had talked of the recent inyention
of the hot blast, nstpa,ented by Nh. Neil
son, Scotchman, and our conversation had
carried us pretty far along into the evening.
The fire had burned low, and we were about
to separate, when picked up the bellows
and began to blow it. 'fou will put out the
fre, said Mr.. Crane. As he spoke it flashed
over me that if my bellows gave hot blast
it would bring the grateful of coal to bright
glow, and with the thought there came like
an inspiration upon me that was needed to
utilize the rich beds of anthracite under oul
feet for making iron. l dropped the bel.
lsws and gave utterance to my thoughts
Mr.. Crane smiled, then grew attentive, anG
as went on thinking out my theory as
spoke he became interested. When con
GUIDED we grasped hands over the dead coal

of restless anxiety. When l read an &C

cite, and the discovery of means to utilize IL
was like mine of gold to the country around.
Our experiment was a success.
OF course the scientific discussion carried
on in the papers In that country provoked
attention in America, and the few scientific
journals published here Il Ok up the matter,
and thereby the iron workers of this region
came to know Of It's great value. They were
then using charcoal and coke. At once they
set 10 work on my plan. 1t resulted in great
losses tn the capital invested and many cases
of financial failure and bankruptcy. The
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
watched these experiments with ardent hope
of success, for they saw what a great advan-
tage to them must result In carrying to per-
fection in this county what we had perfect
ed in Wales. They waited and hoped in
vain and finally concluded to send for Mr..
Crane or me. Their representative visited

in favor Of it, so we received Mr.. Hazards
propositions with favor. Terms were fixed

here early in the fall of 1889, and Catasauqua
being selected as the place TO build the first
furnace, 1 at once set to work. The popu-
lation, which at thst time was only that OF .
hamlet, was composed entirely Of Germans,
and my greatest difficulty was to get skilled
labor. picked up an old countryman here
and there, and on the Fourth Of July, l84O,
l started the first blast, and that day made
the first iron, There is the furnace, sir, just

complete, as shown by the work turned out
during the following six or eight months,
that another was started, which l built in
1S42. built the third in lS48 and the
fourth and fifth in 1899. For nearly forty
years. we have averaged 10000 tons Of iron
year from those furnaces, or l 600, 900 tons
in the aggregate. Then furnaces sprang up
all over the anthracite region. The way to
utilize the hard coal in the manufacture Of
iron was the only thing needed to completely
develop the great mineral wealth Of the
country, and this fact being recognized there
was no lack of money to take the prelimi
nary steps"

IN THE LAST PEW.


She sits, bent DER. with wrnkled face,
Poor ard forlornly old no grace
Smooths the sharp angles OF her form,
Long buffected by lIfe's slow storm.
All else around is fine and fair;
The stained light falls, golden glare,
In seeming mockery on her loose gray hair.
The preacher, fautlessly arrayed,
Tells how our hearts afnr have strayed,
And how all souls should be content
With those good blessings God has sent
And one OF all that self-posed throng,
Hangs on his words nor deems them long,
And humbly thinks only her heart is wrong
She meekly mumbles DER the hymn
Her eyes with age and tear drops dim;
What can the gay world hold for her
This worn and weary worshiper7
Now rustng down the aisles in pride,
They toss bright smiles on every side,
Nor does she know the hurts such fair looks hide
And still she Sits with tear.wet face,
As 10th to leave that sacred place;
The organ, with quick thunders riven,
Lifts her sad, trembling soul to heaven
She feels sense Of blssful rest,
Her bony hands across h9r breast
She clasps, and lowly sighs: "God kuoweth best."
One day, within some grander gate,
Where kings and ministers must wait,
While she hopes humbly for low place
Far from the dear. Lords shining face,
Above the chant OF heavenly choir
These words may sound with gracious fire;
