numerous farmers of Iowa, alleging that the
president, secretary of the treasury, the
American Bankers association and the lead
ing newspapers of eastern cities have joined
in conspiracy to increase the value and
purchasing power of funded debts, and fixed
incomes, through the depreciation of general
prices, by the decentralization Of silver or Il
suspension of its coinage, and the retirement
of one and two dollar legal tender notes,
to the great loss and inconvenience
of labor and the useful produc-
ing classes. The petitioners believing
this, petition congress to place the
coinage of silver on an equality with the
coinage of gold tn continue the coinage GER

issue thereof in denominations of 81, 81 and
IS and upwards, the same to be lawful, le-

reissue of 81 and Sc legal tender notes, and
that their volume be regulated so us to meet
the public needs, and that the public debt
be liquidated as rapidly as the revenues of

Special Correspondence Gazette and journal.
ST. PAUL, MrSs,, Aug. PSI thought
while we were here in this great city of
the west would write you short sketch
of our journey. After we left Rehoboth
on Monday, August 18th. we came ON TO
New York and after looking around the
city, we took the New York Central rail-
road for Chicago, stopping u short time
Ut Niagara Falls, tile sight Of which is too
grand to describe. We then took the
ears, crossing the Niagara river just below
the falls. Tie train stopped at Full View
station, on the Canada side, near the
brink Of the Horseshac Falls, where the
best opportunity IL offered to see the
grant cataNetin an rs beauty and majesty
without leaving the ears. Before we left
the suspension bridge our baggage was
examined by the United States customs
officer and his stamp put on them. We
were then in Cahada and, proceeding
about $50 miles, we CROSSED over the
Detroit river, the full train being taken
on u ferry boat. Ne are now back into
the United States again. We continued
stiaigln on to Chicago. This, / think, is
The greatest business city was ever in.

st. Paul, Mimi, is great business
city OF 1l2,00 population and is growing
! rapidly. There was n hotel built and
opened July LIST, said to be the finest one
in this country. II is 225 feet ON Sixth
street and $50 feet ON Roberts street and
1l2 feet above the sidewalk, seven stories,
with tower reaching an attitude of 1870
feet. II has over 400 rooms. 1t is called
the Hotel Ryan. This elaborate structure
was built and occupied in one year and
, cost nearly 81 200, 900. Onarriving at this
grand hotel and securing our rooms, we
took q carriage and rode over the CITY,
which is quite billy. From the top Of
these bills there is splendid view of the
city and the great Mississippi river. /
saw only one gentleman and his wife
whom knew. They were from Wash
ington, but did not like this part of the
west and thought of returning home.
Leaving st. Paul we started for the city
of Minneapolis, MINI. This, in my
opinion, is better business place than
st. Paul, and has a population of 1870. 900
and is beautiful city and full of business
and push We went to the West Hotel
and found il if anything larger and more
elaborate than the Hotel Ryan, costing
over a million dollars. This city is
builing up rapidly of very fine large brick
buildings, and business seems quite
brisk. They have an electric light tower
in the centre of the city 297 feet high.
built of boiler iron and put up insections,
which will light up the city for more than
mile around. This is q wonderful im-
provement to the city.
In travelling through the west l feel
satisfied that there is no better place than
Delaware for man with industrious
habits to make living and raise family,
and have seen no city that will compare
with the situation and beauty of the city
of Wilmington, Delaware.
