" Raise the Bar /: :"

To THE EDITOR: Since my letter to Com
rade Edward S. Jones, of Nashville. Tenn, in
regard to comrades who are debarred from the
GAR. by Art. IV, Chap |, Rules and Regua-
tions, which was published by every soldier
paper in the land, am sorry to say that / have
heard no more of the subject, except the great
ability | saw displayed in regard to it at our
last National Encampment. Comrades, the
more i see and hear of those border heroes and
subjects Of rebel persecution, the more / am
impressed with their fathomless loyalty to old
"E PluFibus Unum." l find, also, an unsub
dued Indignation and hatred toward the South
ern people in consequence of the ruthless way
in which they drove these loyal men into the
rebel army and made them embrace secession.
The faint of treason" as applied to our brave
comrades who escaped the rebel ranks in one
way or another, has enveloped them in halo
of humiliation. Let me say right here, that so
long as there is one Of these old sufferers be-
tween two fires left nothing will ever disperse
that halo but admission into the ranks of the
Grand Army of the Republic. What has become
of such men as Col. Brownlow, Col. Bird, Capt
Bowers, and Capt Kendrick, all of Tennessee

WHY We Cannot Pay bOndD in SILVER

Why We ChunOt ray Dohub al SAA'V'
Our correspondent Taylor" who writes
on the silver question, is aware that while
It is true that the bonds Of the Govern
ment are payable in 'coin" they have al
ways been paid IN gold coin. he Is also
aware that the present bonds are what are
known as refunded" bonds-that Is,
bonds that were substituted by exchange
for the earlier and higher interest bonds,
The war bonds bore interest ct 6 and 8 per-
cent, mostly 8, and their interest was al
ways paid in gold, and likewise their prin-
cipal where they were paid of. This was
done all through the period Of high gold
premium. Had they not been 80 paid
they could not have been sold to any ad-
vantage.
The Government therefore reaped the
advantage of gold bonds at the time Of
their issue as ii also did at the time OF
their reiunding. A large amount OF these
refunded bonds were issued between the
period Of Qs73) when silver coinage was
stopped or "demonetized," and the year
tls7S) in which silver was re.monehzed.
They bora lower rat, OF interest than
the previous gold Iso.calledD bonds, for
which they were exchanged and not only
this, but the Government actually received
for a part Of them . premium in addition
to the saving OF Interest. This was on the
strength OF the understanding that the
Government would not pay them, princi-
pal or interest, in an inferior coin, but
would keep in future the same faith that
1t had kept in The pact. Otherwise their
sale or exchange would have been prac-
tically impossible.
As to paying them now in silver, do
preciated 10 50 cents on the dollar, as
suggested by our correspondent, what
would that be under the circumstances
but q Reputation Of one filth their value
by the Government? and suppose the
Government capable Of such an act, what
would be its effect, present and ultimate,
at home and abroad? What would be
our state in any future time OF need, even
Diminishing the effect Of loss of public
confidence at this time? Outside OF all
question OF morals and decent self.respect,
we should soon experience the punish
ment OF "co:n clippers" in all nations and
all ages, by precipitating on the country
the state Of things depicted in the article
Of Wednesday last to which our cores
pondent refers.

According to the previous announce
ment the dedicatory services of the Re
formed church at Aaroasburg began
on Wednesday evening with an able
sermon by Rev. ID. M. Wolf. The
weather having been very inclement
the attendance was small. On Thurs
day evening Rev. DeLoug, Of Belle.
fonte, favored q larger audience with a
fine discourse on Of pious parents, point.
ing to the godly father and mother
of the prophet Samuel as examples
On Friday evening Rev. N. j. Miller,
of RebeI sburg 6lled the pulpit very ef.
fclently.
The interest In Saturday evenings
services was materially increased by
the presence OF DR.. Dubbs, of Lancas-
ter, and Rev. s. X. Evans, of Potts
town. The latter is a native OF this
valley, being son of James G.. Evans,
of Gregg township. His eloquent SER
mon OH that evening gave ample proof
that he is thorough and clear minded
theologian and peculiarly adapted
for the pulpit. His large audience
highly appreciated and enjoyed his ad-
dress.
On Sunday morning at fifteen min
utes before ten O'Clock the conservatory
services proper were opened with fine
and well rendered anthem, specially
composed for this occasion by Hon. j.
G.. Meyer, of Aaronsburg. DR.. Dubbs
preached deep sermon, we'll spiced
with historical points, directly bear
ing on the subject discussed. He
was followed by Rev. Evans In an g.
qually insti uctlve sermon in the Ger
man language. The pure and-correct
language used by that gentleman gave
evidence of tho complete education
whichh he obtained by a theological course
of several years In the Vaterland. After
these fine sermons, which were listened
TO with greatest attention by a crowd
ed house, the work Of raising the nee
cessaiy funds to liquidate the eeLt still
resting on the church was proceeded,
with. The greater part of the required
sum was procured in subscriptions, but as
the services had already consumed over
three hours, it was thought advisable
to postpone the dedication ceremonies
until evening. -
Rev. Dubbs again treated his many
hearers to an excellent sermon on Sun
day evening, after the church was for
mally consecrated to the worship of
God.
The chidren's meeting in the after
noon was briefly addressed by the fol-
lowing ministers ReY. Evans, Rev.
Wolf, Rev. Hengst.
There will be preaching every even.
ing this week. Communion services
next Sunday forenoon.
