The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-10-14

A largely attended political meeting
was held at Potter's store, just north OF
town, last Saturday evening, and was adj
dressed by Mr.. Gregg. Col. Carleton and
Judge Sheeks. The first gentleman brief
ly adverted TO the fundamental principles
underlying the issuess of the day, and
spoke to an undertaking and energetic,
but conservative course as the surest safe
guard for the republic. He gained as
usual in his reputation for oratory, add
ing also no little to his candidacy. Col.
Carleton followed in an exhaustive and
fluent discourse upon the inestimable
claims of the Democracy, and exhibited,
all in all, a power his opponents have
cause to fear. The closing speech
was made by Judge Sheeks, who
evoked the liveliest interest by
accurate statement of political his,
tory, and great laughter by keene
satire upon the other.parties. Some of the
county Independent ticket, rather high
up, would have wished they never had
been born had they been there. The en-
inent jurist heading the Democratic
county ticket got his proper laudation
His talent and learning will inevitably
triumph over ''insipid cheek A Han
cock and English club was organized, and

Regularity and eonstaney In the pursuit
of exercise are important, says the Lon
don Lancet, if perfect health is expected
to result from its employment. 1t is far
better for men TO lead altogether seden-
tary life than to be irregularly active,
This caution is the more needed since
the transition from sedentary habits TO
arduous and eNhausting physical labor
il of frequent occurrence. Again, the
transition from active habits to sedentary
pursuits IL generally accompanied by a
marked disturbance of health, since or
gans reused to full activity by the stimu-
lus given TO them are liable TO be ftinc-
tionally deranged when that stimulus is
withdrawn. This, perhaps, would not
be so frequently observed il, instead OF
relapsing Immediately, rs is frequently
| the case, into idle habits as far as eXer-
else is concerned, an attempt was made
to engage regularly, for however short a
time, in some pursuit which would insure
| brisk muscular movement, so that the
health acquired by exercise during the
vacation should not be lost; and, more
over, that the body when the next holi-
day period comes round should be found
in fair condition to undertake the in
creased physical strain thrown upon 1t.
About halfpast nine O'Clock last even
ing Mr.. T. Thompson was attacked by
Dick Mitchell, stone cutter, who stab
bed him twelve times with a pocket
knife. Dick Mitchell aud anotker stone
cutter entered Mr.. Tkompson,s Saloon,
under the First Nstional bank, and after
Mitchell's friend had treated he proposed
to return the treat, bus not having the
money Informed the har>t<ndee of the
fact, and was referred TO Thompson, who
refused 20 let him have anything on
tick until his old account was settled
Mitchell and his Friend left Immediately,
and shortly amer Dir. Thompson also left
the saloon. As soon as he reached the
sidewalk he was attacked by Mitchell, re-
eeiving twelve cuts, one over the heart,
which DIR. Stalnacker, who was called in
70 dress the wounds, pronounced danger
Gus. Mitchell was arrested and placed in
the calaboose to await mis- trial.

The Old Complaint.

est. Louis Republican,
In his speech at the New York chamber
OF commerce banquet last week Secretary
Sherman alluded to his chronic grievance
the surplus of silver in the treasury.
The still larger surplus of gold in the
treasury does net give him trouble. Both
gold and silver are steadily ccumlatinC
bat it is only the latter he complains of.
He wants .the silver to be increased in
weight till they are equal to the gold coins
though he must know that this would not
bring them into any wider circulation than
they now have. He says: I'VE could now
convert our $68 5000 of silver coin and
bullion lying uBcalled for in the treasury
into silver coin of equal value to gold COIN
and bullion, dollar for dollar. at cost not
greater than the so-called profit we have
already derived from coming it, As
gold is worth about II per cent. more
thon silver. the secretary means that we
can make this sos 10000 silver equal to
gold by recoining it and increasing the
weight IL per cent. at cost Of only SO. $780,.
900. But it may be replied. why increase
the weight offsilver coins that are already
heavy enough tor all the require.
ments of the law and all the conditions of
good money? There is $l3S, 1888 900 gold
In the treasury-more than twice the
amount OF silver there: and this gold does
not go into circulation any more than the
silver. 1t the presence of unused coin 10
the treasury vaults is SO griev-
GUS thing to the secretary,
why does he not propose some measure
for getting rid of tho gold as well as the
silver?
The truth is the secretary's complaint
about silver is disingenuous and ground
less. 1t is not an idle and useless hoard.
Every dollar of silver in the treasury rep
resents silver certificate or a greenbaek
that is IN circulation; the entire $68O00.-
all the time by proxy-wbich is the same
as 1t it were circulating itself The gold
and silver both remain in the treasury
because the people prefer the greenbacks
and certificates that represented them TO
the actual coins; their undsturbed pres
enca in the government vault is only an
atteetatlon of the excellence of our cur |
rency. The secretary's assertion that
we cannot have sound currency until it |
is settled that the gold dollar and the sill |
yer dollar shall be of equal intrinsic or |
market value" is DOWNRIGHT nonsense. |
Our currency is sound already and the |
himself has been asserting it to |
be so in all the speeches he has made |
and in all the reports he has written In the
asst twelve N onths.
Every silver dollar in the treasury is
good enough to redeem greenback note,
With. or to pay any other form of govern
nent Indebtedness with-just as good for
his purpose as it would be after increas-
ng in weight to AGA grains To recon
hem all and add II per cent to the amount
If silver In them would therefore be

worse. taking it from the people and Civ
ng it to the public creditors.
