if he were president of a national
bank and could make ten per cent
more by selling the bonds than he
could make by depositing them and
taking circulation, would not feel
bound to sell the bonds in the inter-
est of his stockholders, and would he
not do it? The senator from Ohio
would do it, no matter what became
of the currency of the country. And
that is the condition to which w
are rapidly drifting.
What l desire to do ia this: Just as
the green backs were as good as gold
the moment they were received, even
in violation of express law. at the
custom house, the silver dollar will
become as g. cd as gold the moment
it has all the uses that gold has. The
moment that the administration of
this country. the executive branch,
and the congress of the United States
will give 1t a helping hand instead
of treating 1t as . step-child, will pay
1t out for interest, will pay the bonds
with It, will use it to comply with
existing contracts, every man who
receives that silver dollar will be in
terested in keeping it in circulation,
will be interested In keeping it as
good as gold. Foreign nations will
unite with us In making it good, and
We shall not be dependent npon En-
gland, and England alone, who OF all
the countries desires gold and only
gold, as we have been and will con-
tinue to be under the policy sought
to be pursued.
MI. Beck then states q fact which
is often overlooked in the discussion
of the question, namely, that when
the government issued its bonds in
1870, payable In the coin of the coun-
try at its then standard value, which
was 4l2} grains Of silver to the dol
lar, every creditor agreed TO receive
1t. taking the chance of its raise and
fall, and every public officer was
obliged to pay 1t. The people have a
right 10 pay their debts in that coin,
and Al MI. Beck says: " the attempt
to make the silver dollar 40 or 48O
as now proposed, Is to give to
the bond holders what by their con-
tract they have no right to ask, and
~ place an additional burden on the
people of the United States that nc-
body has a right to impose.

CATHOLICISM IN THE ARMY.
What Bishop simpson Said at a Mass
Meeting OF McthodIsts In Baltimore.

NtettnH OF mctnOulsth III bHlttthOTes
BALTIMORE, Jan. GA ladies' mass meet
ing in the interests Of tho observance Of the
centennial Of American methodism was held
to-day at the First NJ. T.. church, Charles
and Fayetto streets. There was q large at
tendance Of ladies not only from the various
Methodist Episcopal churches Of Baltimore,
but from all sections Of the Baltimore confer
ence. There were also number of clergy
mon present, including Bishop Simpson,
Bishop Andrews, Bishop Wilson, of the NJ. Il.
Church South. Rev. DR. Goucher spoke Of
the wonderful growth of Methodism in Mary
land, where one out Of every four persops on
the city of Baltimore and ohc-third
of the residents of the state worship under
tho auspices of the church. The time had
come, ho said, to found an institution for the
higher education of the women Of the con-
ference, who, up to this time, had to resort
to non -sectaran and even to Roman Catholic
educational establishments. That was one
of the objects of the meeting, and the ladies
were deeply interested in the project Ho
thought IL would require S200,O00 and
various methods had been suggested to raise
the money.
Bishops Simpson and Andrews next ad
dressed the meeting. earnestly advocating
the establishment Of such an institution.
Bishop Simpson said educated women cX-
ert the greatest influence on the age, and
they have lost mono of their beauty OF char
actor. Their power is on the increase, and it
is almost incredible to look at what has been
accomplished of late years by the pen and the
voice Of women Woman is coming to the
front even in tho professions, and " is our
duty not to be behind in the advancement
Of the education of woman. The Roman
Catholic church has devoted particular at
tention TO the higher female education, and
in this way they have come to exert
uuifa m m unupnpa tha the
United States. There is an academy at
Georgetown, near Washington, and the young
army officers. coming in contact with the
young ladies, fall under thoir influence and
marry them. In this way has the army been
tngod with Roman Catholicism. Bishop
Andrews said the project you have is good
one, hut you should not be satisfied with
S20O,O0O. You do not want any weak, puny
seminary. You should have here in Balti-
moro grand, noble, and imposing institu-
tion, with an equipment equal to that of any
other in the country. Let it be an institu.
tion which young ladies shall be proud to at
tend, and which shall exert an influence
over the whole country.
After the addresses, resolutions we're
adopted indorsing the project, and request
commemorating the centennial of the organ
ization OF the Methodist Episcopal church to
give pre.eminence to the founding and en-
dowing of such female seminary. In &C.
cordsnce with the spirit Of this resolution, an
organization was formed to be known as the
Female Education Aid association.
