There are so many counties hope

send republican members, that party

tutional convention. Aside from all
partisan considerations, is such
contamination one devoutly to be

features, but contains also some pro-
visions against which our people

did all in their power at the polls to
retain the present law ? To the re-
publicans who would naturally wish
to retain the old law fashioned BY
themselves to subserve their own
ends ? To the republicans who
could easily give us an instrument

by documents found upon search in
his house in Alexandria of compli-
city with the Mahdi, both before
and since the fall of Khartoum. He
is the man whom Gen. Gordon
wanted to have made Governor of
Khartoum. Gordon said the ex-slave
king was the only man who had
nerve and prestige enough to keep
the Arabs in subsection. He had
eecountered Zebehr during his former
service in Egypt and had hanged one
of Zebehr's sons, who was left as q
hostage and whose life became for
feited by an act of treachery on
Zebehr's part. When Gordon was
sent to Khartoum last year both he
and Zebehr Pasha seemed to have

The SILK INDUSTRY.

1t is gratifying to know that our
advocacy Of silk Culture has not
been altogether without encouraging
results. Some of our contemporaries
have considered the subject of sufli-
cient Importance to follow our lead.
Outside parties have also become
interested to the extent of communi-
eating their thoughts to the public
press. In addition to these out
ward signs, we have received several
a inquiries of private nature, the last
of which is from an intelligent
Chinaman, who is disposed to engage
in the enterprise. A letter from
Miss Rossitcr, written March 2nd,
contains the information that she
had just received communications
from Honolulu on the same matter.
We trust that the feeling Of interest
and spirit of inquiry thus far engen-
dered and excited will be increased
and strengthened, until silk raising
has become one Of our established
industries. The following brief cN-
tract from Miss Rossiters letter is
given for the information of those
interested: -" | cannot forward silk
worm eggs after the close of this
month, unless orders are received
by the end of March, when might
venture to forward the eggs. /
would like it understood, however,
that orders, accompanied by the
requisite amounts, may be sent in
during the summer, when eggs will
be set aside and properly cared for
till fall-say October or Novem-
ber-and then forwarded. Our
general time for Matching silk
worms is about May 1st., excepting
in California and Florida, where
they have early food, and hatch out
the worms by March 1st., and be-
fore that time" Our readers will
readily understand that the proper
time for Matching the eggs is de-
cided by the season of food supply.
Miss Rossiter writes from country
where food is procurable during q
short period of each year only; but
in our climate, where the mulberry
tree becomes an evergreen and pro,
duces fresh leaves throughout most
Of the year, the season for Matching
and succeeding operations is much
extended. 1t would undoubtedly
be necessary to despatch the eggs
from the States in winter, to avoiC
Matching during transit but having
once reached here, they might be
hatched almost any time, as far as
food supply is concerned.

issue, calling the attention of wage
earners to their interest in the cur
rency question. 1t is no new thing
to have law passed, at the instance
of strong popular demand. and
then have difficulty in carrying it out
through a lack of popular support.
The Currency Act was promoted and
borne through to final passage by an
overwhelming public opinion, that
regarded it as necessary corrective
of trade difficulties and abuses. But
when the law came into force the
classes it most Immediately affected
the merchants, manufacturers,
and planters-showed, with few
exceptions, a remarkable apathy to
acting up to its strict tenor. The
unanimity and enthusiasm that car
ried the law were wanting, and the
resultant hesitation to insist upon
the faithful execution of the law led
to notion that the leading men of
those classes were only watching a
chauce to make money by specula-
ting in the currency. 1t is needless
TO say that this has been proved to
have been most unjust suspicion,
and that the very ones whose names
were banded about in such con-
nection took heavy risks in order to
facilitate the working of the law.
There is reason to believe that the
wage .carncrs Of the Kingdom have
been indifferent to the question.
They are seemingly under the i'm
preston that it has no especial inter-
est for them. Some have no doubt
been gratified, since the law came
into effect, at the opportunity of
replacing hoards of silver with gold,
which they have been able to do by
some planters agents having distri-
butcd quantities of gold for the
purpose of starting its circulation.
The evil of high exchange only comes
hometo them occasionally, and they
condone it with the reflection that
almost everything is high in this
country. II is well, therefore-antl
Mr.. Carter does good service in
ventilating this phase-that the
working classes should be made
to understand that it is of the ut
most Importance to them that the
country should have sound and
stable currency, which can only be
by the thorough establishment OF
the gold standard. The most i'm.
portant matter in American politics
to-day is the question of whether
the overwhelming flood of the silver
coin now Issuing from the mints
shall be checked or not. Should il
not, the best authorities are con
vinced that the purchasing value Of
silver must be deprecated ant
universal loss ensue. There the
powerful silver mining interest il
strenuously opposing the proposed
measures to stem the flood. In thil
Kingdom, however, there is NJ
legitimate interest that can be bene
fted by stalking anything upon ,
double-metal standard. Our safety

establishing q gold basis. Only
when that is done can VIC contcm-
plate with cquonimity the issue of
events in the United States. As it
is, silver depreciation is upon our
selves already, and nothing but the
artificial props of interested people
saves our silver currency from going
down to bullion value.

10 be the best for the Kingdom by
the thinking men Of these Islands.
II is unfortunate that our business
men arc not acting together for tho
enforcement of the law; but that .
this class in our community is at
cross purposes is no excuse for lack
Of united action on the part of wage
earncrs.
If the latter class insisted upon
receiving gold for wages earned the
weight of such an influence would
soon turn the scale in favor of the
gold law. Possibly the laborers are
not aware Of the value Of the law to
themselves, and it may not come
amiss to say to them that Senator
Morrill,, of Vermont, in the United
States Senate, in speaking upon the
silver bill, called attention to the
dangers threatening the wage
workers of the United States in case
the coinage Of silver dollars was
continued until business was con-
Quoted OH the basis of the silver
standard, which practically meant
that the purchasing power Of
money in everybody's pocket
would undergo depreciation Of fif-
teen or twenty percent. He warned
wagc-workers and those who re-
ccived fixed salaries that they would
he the first to feel the evil effects.
Speaking upon this subject to the
silver coinage advocates in Congress,
President elect Cleveland said that
if their policy was adopted, "rhe
revival of business enterprise and
prosperity so ardently desired and
apparently so near, would be hope
lcssly postponed; gold would be
withdrawn to its boarding place,
an unprecedented contraction in the
actual volume Of currency would
speedily take place; and, saddest Of
all, in every workshop, mill, factory,
store, and on every railroad and
farm the wages Of labor, already
depressed, would suffer still further
depression by scaling down of the
purchasing power of every so-called
dollar paid into the hand of toll
Surely these words should fur
nish food for thought in this King
dom, when an excess of silver coins
is driving gold into retirement,
while the creditor class may
demand gold from debtors.
Already we hear of cases where silver
coin above legal tender is only taken
at q discount Of from two and a hall
to five percent, and it is only q ques.
ton Of time when the discount may
be raised to ten, fifteen, or even
twenty percent. AS the discount
upon silver rises so must the price
of commodities. The wage-workers
of this Kingdom can help to preven,
this calamitous condition of affairs
by standing rs one man for paymen,
of wages, in sums over ten dollars, ir
gold, and thus force its circulation
When this is accomplished a right
eous standard of value will be fixed
t and the excess OF silver coins ovel
for what may be needed subsidiary
purposed will become burden, ant
, as such will fall in value until a!
{ bullion it may be exported corrected
into gold, and in this way jus
balance of metals be arrived at.
