A Day In Africa.

I am not immodest enough to assume
TO speak for other readers, but for my
own part have become rather tired of
African travellers. One always knows
beforehand what they have in their pack,
and precisely the way in which they will
spread out their wares. The victorious
struggle with the lion, and the hair
breadth escape from death at the hands
Of the native chiefs, are matters easily
anticipated; aud that romantic young
savage who attaches himself body and
soul to the person of the adventurer. and
invariably returns with him to civiliza-
tion-what threadbare figure that is

prowess With ali the precision Of Il ma-
chine. No whisper OF disaisertion or of
mutiny wss ever heard in EannihaPs
camp. Italians deserted Ivy thousands

ever deI''ted to Rome. Polite ~ he
was brave, end generous IS he was far
sighted, Hannibal could arouse allie the
love aud the Far, the calm confidence
aud the passionate enthusiasm of ali the
various races who served under his
standard. The hes: General, a high an

FHK PUBLIC DEBT.

The Chicago 'H'--,,rent says it is a
year since Secretary Folger died,
and looks upon his death as the
greatest catastrophe which ever
fell upon the industries of the
country. It declares that mot a
penny of the Nations debt has
been paid since" The Current is
almost if not quite right. Under
Mccullough up to March 4th, and
under Manning since, the finances
Of the country have been turned
over to men who believe that the
debt never should be paid, but it
should be held for the benefit of
bondho;ders and National banks
Had Folger lived and held his Of
fee until today, there would be
$lOO,OOO,OOO more in circulation,
and the Government would be pay
ing interest on $10O,0OO,OO0 less
than it is. Had such men as McCul-
Tough and Manning been at the
head of the Treasury in 1865, the
whole debt would have been repud-
lated, and our credit abroad would
have been the lowest among civil
lied nations.

PROTE CTION OR FIR e Z
TRADE.

The San Francisco Examiner of
the Goth instant publishes from ad-
vance sheets the first chapter of
Henry Georges new work on polit-
ical economy the subject Of which
is Protection or Free Trade The
opening. chapter furnishes indu-
bitable evidence that the writer
has brought the powers of a clear,
well-trained mind to bear upon
this much vexed question, and
from the able manner in which the
subject is handled, it is but fair to
presume that definite and con-
vincing conclusion will be reached
with the closing chapter. Mr..
Georges Progress and Poverty"
made him justly famous as a pro-
found thinker, and his present
work will doubtless prove equally
meritous. The Examiner will con-
tinue the publication of the work
in its Sunday edition of each week
until completed.

ANTI-SILyER NONSENSE.

The following specimen of the
nonsense talked by anti-silvcr men
is from the Boston Journal:
Suppose that there should be
such demand on our gold that
it would command a premium of
one-half of one rer cent. 1t would
no longer be money. but would be
dealt in as merchandise. Then
our silver would be the only money
of the country, and more than two
thirds of our present money stock
would become merchandise, and
the volume of money would be con-
tracted to one-third the present
amount"
The New York Sun says: The
absurdity of this proposition be-
comes apparent as soon as it is con-
sidered that gold forms but very
small part of the actual circulating
medium in the country. The
money in use consists of $346,O00,-
600 Of legal tenders, $500, 900, 600 of
national bank notes, $95. 900, 900 in
silver certificates, and $4O,OOO,OOO
of legal tender silver. There is be-
sides ali indefinite amount of
fractional coin, making a total of
not less than $s,OOO,OOO. The de-
monetization of gold and its with
drawal from circulation would have
no effect upon this mass of money,
and could not cause a contraction.
Besides, gold will not command
premium until an amount of silver
equal to it is ready to take its place. |
which, at the present rate Of coin
age, will not be for ten years to |
come.
