SOLID MATTER-The Doylestown In.
telligencer, the Radical organ Of Bucks
county, last week gave publicity to the
following commercial truth:
British eonsols are a fraction Of one per cent,
above par. This Is very unusual occurrence,
and has seldom happened previously. These SO.
eurities bear three per cent interest.
General Davis, editor of the Demo.
crdt, countered in this way: "'Hhis is
valuable information to como from q
newspaper which is opposed to our
government funding her debt at three
per cent. Now if England could do
this when money was worth good
deal more than now, and the bonds
are above par, why cannot the United
States float a three per cent. bond
There may be very good reason why
it cannot be done, but we do not know
what it is. Will the Inteliigencer point
it out. Is not an investment in United

declare that the Gar was tyrant
who sent tens Of thousands of limo.

death, and that swift rctribution should
be visited on all such oppressors of
