EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN The
public welfare requiring 1t, Congress should
enact that any debtor should have the prlvl
lege OF terminating any of his debts upon
the payment OF the principal and interest
then due, aud that any state, territory, dis
trict, parish, county, or other political body
or municipal corporation having over 900
Inhabitants, as per the next preceding de-
cennial census, may bond themselves for
lot exceeding $50 per capita, to run not
exceeding twenty-five years, without in
terest, and that per cent. thereof should
he returnable annually to the treasurer OF
the United States Of America, in consdera-
tion that when the aforesaid bonds shall
have been deposited with the Secretary OF
the Treasury the treasurer OF the United
States aforesaid shall pay to the order OF
the aforesaid political body or municipal
corporation the face value Of the aforesaid
bonds having twenty-five coupons, in full
legal tender treasury notes, for the following
express purposes: First, to pay Its outstand-
ing Understanding debts; second, to pay
all OF its other Indebtedness, and third, TO
make such public improvements as 1t may
order from time to time.
The kernel Of my proposition is how,
first, to get rid of public debts; second,
stop public interest, and third, to increase
the volume OF money so that labor shall
all be employed at profit; but the selfish
side OF this matter is this: II would not
only enable Washington to get out OF debt,
rid Of public interest, and into public i'm.
provements until her schemers were sick,
but 1t is the only available means of EN- :.
ploying her own laboring people. As they
labor, so they spend money, and then your
note shaving, 5-per.cent. -a-month brokers
would become vastly richer at other pur-
suits. Then again while this plan would
enrich Washington city 1t would also bene-
fit every other city in the United States OF
America.
WIN this suggestion meet the approval
OF the citizens committee and of Congressp

Republican Prospects In West Virginia.


Congressman Nathan GofT, OF West Vir-
ginia, chairman of the Republican con-
gressional committee, who is at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, is enthusiastic over the Re-
publican prospects this fall In 1888.
"The real issue between the two great
pGr,ies,n he said lately, SIS the tariff.
Tie free trade talk OF the Democrats Is
having its effect and the people are losing
confidence in them. Even the possibility
Of passing such bills as Morrison and
Hewitt introduced had the effect of par
aly2lrg trade in many parts Of the country
for the time. Coal, iron ore, lun Der, and
wood are among the principal products Of
my state, and the liability that these would
he put on the free list caused temporary
stagnation In business. Capitalists are
afraid to make investments, which, II the
Democrats have their way, can only result
in ruin.
1.-The Democrats talk about protection
making articles OF necessity unnecessarily
expensive. That Is the sheerest nonsense.
The prices Of staples are being reduced and
the wages Of the workingmen are decreas.
ing. The people are learning the adyan-
tagts Of protection and will give expression
TO their feeling at the polls. II is not at all
improbable that we shall have a good work
ing majority IN the next House, and the ad-
miulstratlon will again be intrusted to the
keeping Of the party of protection in 1885
wOrkingmen are discovering that their best
interests are conserved by the Republican
party, and will rally to our standard"

agents Of that strange geological specimen
we cal u devil. In my opinion, the con.
tr0ry is the fact. the uruukHr1 is the crimi-
nal. The dealer offers for sale an article In
demand, an article necessary in medicine,
In the chemical aud mechanical arts, and at
the communion. The fact that such an
article is for sale justies no man in pur-
chasing It to his own detriment, the an
noyance OF his nelghbors, or the ruin of his
family.
No man Of sound intellect, no man nj to
leave his impress on the succeeding genera
ton, needs any protection from himself.
Man, like all other animals, is subject TO
the laws Of evolution. To protect and fos-
ter the weak and erratic, thereby giving
them opportunities Of reproduction, Is but
to deprive the race Of the benefit to be de.
rived from the law Of the survival Of tho
flttest. The drunkard would have been
man of weak intellect had there been no
alcohol in the world; he was that before he
became drunkard; no matter how brilliant
he may have seemed before he began drink.
ing, weakness was the cause and not the
effect Of his excuses,
The tendency OF mind which renders a man
liable to fall under the temptation TO strong
drink, like the temptation to murder, steal,
forge, rape, &c, is just as hereditary as the
tendency to consumption, scrofula, red hair,
and pug noses: and prohibition Of uupro.
pitious reproduction would be more far
reaching PHILANTHROPY than the miserable
temporizing policy OF keeping whisky
out Of the reach Of the dip.
somaniac by prohibitory laws, which
violate all the retinel ideas Of personal lib
erty. The man only who can maintain
his manhood under reverse circumstance,
surrounded by temptations aud immortality,
is III to be the progenitor OF the generation
to come; and, until this fact is understood
by the people, and recognized in the laws,
we will continue to have among us a large
degraded, debauched, criminal, and idiotlc

Slashing Fine Girls.

Throughout the length and breadth of
this free country young women who cow
hide young gentlemen appear to fiLd fame
in their fury and honor In their whips. But
we may as well tell the girls In all frank
ness that they should not judge by outward
appearances. In reality there is not par
tlcle Of sincerity In the applause that is won
in this violent manner. When a young
man has had the honor OF thrashing from
beautiful young woman he gains GER
tain distinction as a masher, which he pays
for by being laughed at. But the lady is
laughed at, too; 1t is big joke all round,
cesssul use OF the whip is something th at is
beyond the reach Of the girls. To attempt
1t is dangerous; first, because 1t Is an un.
wemanly and rewdylike act, and, secondly,
because the girls who try 1t, as rule, are
not good girls,

How Some Salaries Are Earned.

The papers are again telling about the
swell member OF half dozen swell cluDs in
this city who is paid about $4,000 a year
and expenses by certain great champagne
house. In return for this the swell mem
Der agrees on all occasions, In the clubs aud
elsewhere, TO drink the wine made by thl'
house and to run down all other wines. In
the same way we hear OF the young man of
fashion who is paid a handsome salary for
wearing all the new scarfs made by a Ger.
tain firm; and In these days OF outre scarfs
he doubtless earns his salary.
