Hence the outcry against silver Is re-
garded by many people, especially peo-
pie who work for wages simply as a sig
nal that the bankers and capitalists are in
distress, and rather enjoyed than otherwise.
1t seldom occurs to these wage-workers that
they themselves are exposed to vastly more
danger by arrangement of the currency
than the bankers and capitalists. Neverthe-
less such is the fact, demonstrated over and
over again by actual experience The 'gold
bugs and money sharks' of Wall street can
take care of themselves much better in fnan-
elal stress OF weather resulting from de-
preclated currency than the men who on
Saturday night have to exchange their earn
ings for the bread and meat they have con-
sumed during the week. TIE "money
shark generally foresees the storm and in
measure is able to ward off its effects.
But laborers and men of small means are
as rule the last to foresee danger of this
kind; and the least able when they do see it
to guard against it. The bankers and rich
men hoard gold In anticipation OF derange-
ment in the currency; the store keepers puts
up the prices of his goods and SO protects
himself; but the wage maker has no power
to put up his wages, and his employer is
slow to do it for him. He it is therefore
who suffers first and most keenly.

The Victims.

Secretary McCulloch is reported as say
ing that unless a bill is passed to suspend
the silver coinage the county will be on a
silver basis within a year. What does that
means 1t means depreciation in the pur-
chasing power of the dollar. 1t means that
the laborer when he draws his pay on Satur-
day night, though he may receive as many
dollars in number as he does now, will re-
ceive dollars of less value, that is of less
power to purchase the bread and meat and
clothing which he must have.
1t is a popular delusion, which nothing
but actual experience seems able to cure,
that the chief sufferers from deprecated
currency are bankers and capitalists, and
that for people generally cheap money
Is as good a thing as cheap bread.

The next session of the English ParIia-
ment begins next Thursday, and although
unusual precautions are being taken for the
protection of that body against dynamite
outrages, there will be no lack of excitement
during the session. The privileges accord
ed to strangers will be more meagre than
ever before, and the regulations regarding
the admission of visitors and representatives
of the press will be very stringent. 1t is
quite evident that the intervening time will
not suffice to clear up the uncertainties of
the situation in the Soudan, and, unless
there is an immediate change the Premier
and the members will begin the coming ses-
sion without any definite plans. And be-
sides the Egyptian question, there are others
relating to matters nearer home that will
aid in making this session as long and stormy
as any on record.

The venerable Captain Davis of Mon
hegan Island, who died not long ago,
was a noted character along the coast
OF Maine. A firm believer in Democratic
principles, constant reader of the weekly
Argus and never having left Monhegan
since the days of Fairfield he stoutly be-
lieved that victory had always perched on
the banner of the Democracy. One day a
few summers ago an excursion party from
Squirrel Island was visiting Monhegan, and
among the number was Gov. Dingley. The
Governor and his party took dinner with
Captain Davis, whose wife was the champ,
ion chowder maker of the island. After al,
had become seated at the table, one OF the
visitors informed the captain that he had
the honor of dining the Governor that day.
The old gentleman jumped up in surprise
and exclaimed, "What, Gov'nor Fairfield,
is he 'ereP" Another member of the party
noticing copy of the Argus on table, said
to the captain: 81 see you take the Argus"
eyes," replied he. 81 take the Argus for
myself, but take a real Christian paper for
my wife,"

This sudden alliance of Italy with Eng

The rumor that dynamiters intend 10
blow up the Capitol on the first of March is
probably untrue, but the rumor that large
number of Democrats are preparing to blow
up Cleveland, with their mouths, soon after
that date, unless all Republican ofice-hold-
ers are considered offensive partisans, wears
an air of great probability.

The most successful part of the New

If Parliament alridges the privileges of
