MiiIiOnaires and TOiIers.

Forty years ago there was not mil
ionaire in the United States. Twenty
years ago there were three or four only.
Now there are at least thousand, and
a fortune of million is not considered
anything remarkable. The hundred
millionaire takes the place of the mill
iOnaire OF twenty years ago. There are
ALREADY two individuals and twenty
corporations that can cunt their wealth
up to hundred millions. The next
step will be the Millionaire.
The statistics OF poverty, on the other
hand, cannot be reached accurately.
But observation would teach US that
there Is now II larger proportion of in
dustrious people wholly dependent upon
daily labor for daily bread with whom
to-day's sickness or loss OF work means
to-morrOw's priyation than ever be-
tore. The problem of living bears
harder and heavier upon the working
people. A feeling of de endence has
dispirited them, and they live almost
constantly in the shadow OF anxiet A
bright cOuntenance is the exception
among them. The face OF the typical
workingman is anxious, careworn, toll
worn and troubled.
A comparison of these extremes of
afliuence and poverty of splendor and
misery, must lead the earnest thinker
to see that there is something fatally
wrong in system which oppresseS
those who work, and rewards SO muni i
Gently those who only scheme and
manage. - Chicago EGpreSs.

What Has Been Accomplished.

A correspondent writes as follows to
Wisconsin ctnte Jonrnat:
/ see by your issue of the 9th inst.
that the address of the Republican State
Central Committee .disposes of the
Greenback party" On looking over
this fervid production of the imagina-
ton, find that the only disposal con-
sists in urging the fact that the Ma.
tional party has not as yet been sue
cesstul, and therefore ought to give up
the ghost. That is supposed to end its
mission. The solid and unanswerable
truths that underlie it are assumed to
be of no account whatever. 1t is not,
therefore, very extraordinary that a
party so often dead and buried exhibits
a marvellous tenacity of lie.
Let me, for u moment point out what
this little continuously de unct party
has accomplished by appealing to hu-
forcing other parties to accept primary
elements OF common sense on financial
questions:
]. IL stopped the destruction and
compelled the retention and use OF more
than $3.50, 900, 900 Treasury notes, at a
time when this cancellation would have
brought ruin on every business interest

that checked Wall street in its efforts to
force payments in gold exclusively OF

The Pleasure OF Living Near a Volcano.

We received Yesterday morning alarm
ing news from flilo us 10 the advance OF
the lava. 1t is most certain that one or
more of the streams into which the flow
is divided VIII push forward to the sea,
doing great mischief, even il il does not
overvhelm the town of tiiln. The TOW
which was nearest o the " lialleG plan
talon homestead broke ou5 Suddenly,
while Messrs. Kennedy and Charles
Richardson were inspecting IL on Sum
day, the 2iLh uib- a stream T lava,
liquid as water, aud glowing with a
white heat, broke from the face of the
flow and ran down Il narrow and tor
tuOus gulch, nearly u mile in length,
making such speed that the visitors had
to make haSte to avoid it. At the foot
of the gulch is u hollow which often fills
up with water, making a lagoon. This
is now being filed with lava, and has
checked the onward flow which had
threatened the mill and other buildings
at Waiakea in such manner as to lead
the manager to remove all portable
stores, aud to take measures to be in
readiness to remove the plant itself to
place of safety.
Toward the end of the week, how
ever, the supply of lava seems to have
slackened somewhat. and hopes are en-
tertained that if the fiat now being over
flowed should be filled up the stream
m " pass forward TO the sea without
destroying the mill. There are two out
lets for it. One of these is by a gulch a
little more than half q mile on the Puma
side of Hilo-by this route the lava
would pass comparatively harmlesslv to
the sea by way of the course of the Wa
iolama stream. The other is shallow
gulch known as Kuhuao, and hes nearer
TO Waiakea. and there is much reason to
tear that if this channel is taken by the
lava, it win quickly fill up the gulch and
overflow the level ground, and destroy
the plantation buildings. The fields of
growing cane are not threatened, the
lava being now past them and at q level
considerab Y below them. Crushing is
being carried on with the utmost vigor
in order to get as much work as possible
done befo ehand in case of untoward re-
suits to the mill.
The natives have cleared out their
habaations in the neighborhood, and
are also leaving Iiilo. The town itself
| is not menaced by the flow just de-
scribad, but there is another one which,
if it breaks out in a similar manner,
mus overwhelm large part of the town,
its course being directly for the main
| street. H0n0luIU Commercial .1drertiser.

4 Large shipment OF Gold.

Over 50, 900. 900 in broad, salmon col
ored bars or bricks of gold, occasionally
darkly tinged wi h q copper-like coating,
arrived yesterday morning at the United
States NJ mt They came in one hum
dred wooden boxes, about two feet
square and foot deep. An express
waron, with several cnstodians, carried
them, and they were rolled and dumped
into the weighing room like SO much
lead. 70 the men in the Mint the daily
handling of fabulous sums of the pre-
ci0uS metals bege,S an indifference that
puts it on a par with the commonest
merchandise. Not an ounce of it, how
ever, Is free from the closest scrutiny
while within these walls. Although a
man may walk in from the street and
stand at a step before the open door of
the weighing-room vault, where S3O,-
OO0,O00 is stored, with but a single ofli-
cial in sight, it would need but the
slightest alarm to have Il score of men
with loaded weapons in their hands
standing on the spot. Unlike foreign
mints no display of armed protection to
the treasure is made, but the precautions
are nevertheless complete. The largo
consignment yesterday came from the
Assayer'S office in New York. Each
contained ''melt,'' or in other words
the entire refined contents of II crucible,
each varying in quantity, and every
brick was numbered The men who do
the heavy work opened the boxes, took
off the paper wrappings and piled the
bricks upon the scales. Then the clerk
weighed them and carried the bricks
into he vault The entire weight was
266, BOOTS ounces Troy, or over eleven
tons. The actual net weight valuation
was 81, ,l0l, ,466'3l. If any one could
count thirty dollars every minute and
keep it up without stopping it would
take within Il fraction of four months TO
count this amount in coin. In the mint
all the counting is done by weight and
| measure. Piles of various kinds of coin
are measured, and if they are of the re-
quisie number of inches each way and
the weight corresponds, the number and
value is set down far more accurately
than If the money had been counted by
the deftest fingers. fhUGdelphia Times.

3. 1t created a pubic sentiment under
which the public debt has not only
been paid with all surplus means in the
Treasury, but all the five and six-per-
cent. bonds hive been funded into
three and a-half-cent and, but for

would probably have stood at par. The
sin OF the GTeenoacker consisted in in.
sisting that if the Government owed
loo cents and pad 100 cents, it was
under no obligation to donate from l.
to II per cent. in addition.
4. The foolish Greenbackers insisted
that whenever the Government would
take its own paper at par, for dues to
itself, it would be worth exactly as
much as gold, or the coin it represent
ed. When this change was finally
forced, the prediction was instantly full
filled, and we no longer have any such
imposition as gold board, or a gold
market. The swindling humbug has
collapsed, and will stay so if the legal
tenders are let alone.
). The wicked, weak and feeble
Greenbacker now wants some reason
given why Congress farms out a cur.
rency supply for continent, through
banks OF issue, which is based exclu-
sively on public credit, redeemable in
coin only by the Government, and made
by law irredeemable by the banker who
puts it adoat. They want to know why
the use of $360,0O0,000 Of public credit,
with premium of from twelve to twen-
ty per cent. in market, is donated free
to bankers, who are not only paid in
terest on the security deposited, but
are allowed 20 take interest in addition
for the use of the credit thus gwen
away. Furthermore, how parties that
profess to be in favor of paying the
public debt expect banking system to
remain permanent that is based on that
debt. Must the Nation keep in debt
for the mere purpose of donating the
use of its credit to bankers for nothing?
Butt need not further enumerate.
