dent, these men have no confidence in you,
you, with safety, repose confidence in
them? Can you intrnst your Government,
liberties, your present happiness and
the future hope OF your chIldren-can you
these sacred trusts to the dangerous
custody OF a party whose every act has been
in opposition to the spirit OF that Govern
ment. in dishonor Of you, in contempt OF
your judgment, and in hostility 70 your well
faref Win you believe them when they tell
You that, Notwithstanding this, they are your
friends-they, whom you have ever SO Justly
suspected, SO justly rebuked and so wisely
denied thai power for which they yearned?
And can you believe them. too. when they
tell you That those only are your enemies
whom you have bestowed the highest
honors that human nature can confer or re-
ceive; men who have every motive of graft
fude, of Justice, of patriotism, to consult
your wishes, protect your lights and promote
happiness, while. on the other hand,
they have no solitary lnducement to s~acriice
yonr interests in any Particular
And now, felIow-citizens, in order the better
to comprehend the magnitude OF the danger
to which our liberties are exposed from the
power OF this system. we must learn the ex-
direct influence over individual men. And,
first of all, let It be remem bered that there
are In this Union 82S banks and branches;

Will state them At eight hundr only. So.
In all the estimates | propose 20 give. I shall
assume the most authentic data, describing
fractions In every particular, and basing my
calculations upon general principles. Is
strictly accurats,as the nature OF the subject
Will allow. l shall attempt 10 generaiize the
details Of this comprehensive and complex
N-E -
one general view.
There are. then. eight hundred banks quar-
tered upon the Republic. occupying the
strong posts of its cities. towns and villages
commanding all the passes along the direct
and diverging lines Of commerce, n the
whole under the supervision and control Of

In them-and some of the public men who
have received their accommodations, nm
doubtedly stand as exceptions to these gen.
eral remarks. But these exceptions serve
only to illustrate the generality of the truth
I have stated.
What then is to be donef For existing
evils where is the remedy? That the bank
ing system, as at present organized, can CO.
exist with public liberty, / pronounce utterly
impossible. Effective reformation Is not
within the power of the Federal Govern
ment; but the people of the States can.
through their respective Legislatures accom-
plish the redemption of the ountry from the
despotism of this system.
AS 1t regards the subject Of the currency,
the question is not whether we VIII have the
circulation exclusively metallic; but.
whether we will have it exclusively paper.
Both circulations may exist without blend
ing into . currency usually denominated
"m1xed." It is this very mixture of incon-
gruous elements which excites q strife, In
eyitably resulting in the expulsion OF the
better medium. The paper medium was de-
vised for commercial operations, and it
should be confined strictly to those transac-
lions which partake of q commercial char
acter. But chartered monopolies are not
necessary to the existence of such q paper
circulation; nor is a sound and ample system

liberal employers. Ihave said nothing OF the
numerous persons connected by minor and
less conspicuous agencies and empIoyments
with the banking system; nothing of the
thousands OF depositors; nothing of the nu-
merous expectants who anxiously await the
hour when bank favors will be meted ont to
them, in reward for their clamorous support;
nothing of the long train of Obscure and fndt-
rect dependents. I have said nothing Of the
influence which this system exerts over the
numerous persons connected with other In
|stitutions and companies, Incorporated
throughout the country for purposes of in
ternal Improvement and other objects, by
means of loans to and stocks held In those
institutions and companies. OF this vast. in
definite multitude I have said nothing:
and yet It seems that, without these,
the stockholders, borrowers, cashiers, clerks
and lawyers alone amount, at the iow-
est possible estimate, TO the number of
two hundred and forty-fye Thousand men,
while the entire voting population Of the
Union can not exceed sixteen hundred thou
sand persons.
And now / ask, what man. who has a dollar
of property, an arm to labor, or q wish to be
free, can behold this colossal power stand
frowning on him without feeling the terror
of its presence? Do you suppose that such o
power can exist in such a country as this,
amidst the furious collision of conflicting
principles and exasperated parties. without
being seized upon and perverted by ambition +?
II this be your opinion, If you can not think
that there Is in ambition and avarice an in
nate tendency to ~coalesce for q common OBJ.

years and forward to the time to come. What
measure Of practical legisiation. apart from
the abstract principles upon which the two
parties stand, now divides them? The tariff

A correspondent of the Mining Journal
writes glowing reports about the pros
poets Of Alaska as a gold field. He states
that the mill on Douglas Island is running
to its full capacity, and is turning out
bullion at the rate of 500, 900 month,
not counting the concentrates, which are
rapidly accumulating for the want of
sufficient roasters in the chlorination
works. The capacity Of the mine must
not, however, be judged even by the
value of both the bullion and concentrates
now turned out; it is large enough to
supply rock for half dozen such mills,
and the foundations for a second mill of
the same size as the one now in operation
are already laying. It is estimated that
there are at least twenty million tons Of
quartz above the tunnel level Concern
ing the Silver Bay FulleT claims, there
is nothing new. In the Silver Bay dis
trict there are some very rich mines, and
all that has been lacking until now has
been reasonable amount Of capital to
be honestly and judiciously applied in
their development. The success Of the
Douglass Island venture viii, it is thought,
assure the erection Of more stamp mills
in Alaska during the next five years than
were ever in operation in California and
Nevada at one time.

THE mask which baseball catchers now
wear was the invention of Fred. Thayer. He
was training the Harvard nine In the winter
of '76 and ~, when Harold Ernst one Of
the fastest Of pitchers, was on the nine. Jim
Tying, who caught, said that he would not
stand behind the bat unless he could ets0me
sort Of protection for his face. The result
was that Thayer fixed up a sort OF cage
which has gradually become the improved
mask Of to-day.

again Withdrawn, but the opium, in the
shape of cone, with hole through its
center, was left on top Of the bowl. The
process Of cooking takes from two to
three minutes. The stem of the pipe
is then grasped more firmly in the left
hand, the smokers body is half raised
on the elbow, the bowl is inclined TO-
ward the fame, the right hand holds the
yen hauck ready to keep the opium in
place, the lips close over the mouthpiece
and the smoking begins. As the flame
strikes the opium the smoke is inhaled
by the smoker, who emits it in dense
white clouds from his nostrils. The lips
are not removed from the pipe until all
the opium on the bowl is consumed.
The bowl is then sponged off and the
smoker passes the pipe to his visa -yis,
who goes through the same performance.
The ash or yen she of the opium falls
into bowl Each smoke is called
''pipe" and an old smoker can consume
from ten to twenty pipes before his crav-
ings are satisfied. After passing the pipe
to the other smoker, the fiend puffs on
cigarette or a tobacco pipe until the
opium pipe is handed back to him

General Hazen, chief signal officer,
recently told the House committee on
war department expenditures, when asked
about the establishment of signal stations
outside of the United States, that every
year there were several general storms
extending over large area, and which
could not be predicted by observations
taken exclusively in the United States.
Many of these storms come from the
North Polar region, traversing thousands
of miles before reaching the United
States, and many of the most severe
storms affecting our commerce along the
Eastern coast came from the equatorial
belt, and after travelling considerable
distance, struck the West India islands,
aud then swept along the Atlantic coast,
doing great damage. The stations in
the West Indies had been discontinued
for lack of appropriations, and the result
had been, witness said, that the public
did not have advanced knowledge of the
great storms which did great damage in
Charleston, Atlantic City and Coney
Island and that vicinity last year.

In the Mexican city of Zacatecas they
have monthly auctions for the queer pur-
pose of disposing of superfuous State
convicts The shops of the Acordata, or
city prison, can employ a limited number
of skilled prisoners; the surplus, often
including ruffians of the vilest descrip-
ton, are intrusted to the highest bidder;
some responsible capitalist who agrees to
answer for the safety of his bondsmen
and can employ them in any way prom
Using to recoup his investment. The con-
Wet may be rabid with thirst for revenge
against his informers and judges, but if
he is half Spaniard the idea Of being
trusted on parole is generally enough to
insure his tolerably good behavior. Des-
peradoes who would risk their lives to
break out of a public man-cage will
hesitate to abuse the confidence OF pri-
vate citizen who has given bonds for
their honorable conduct, and treat them
with humanity and to an occasional twist
of smoking tobacco.

cause.

The last census showed total of IL,
392, 600 persons engaged in labor in the
whole country, and these figures may be
fairly accepted as representing the aggre
gate strength of the workers of America
in 1880. Since that time the army of
toilers has greatly increased. At present
there are, it is estimated, 5000, 900 en-
gagged at agriculture, $500, 600 in "pro-
fessional and personal service" 1900,
600 in trade and transportation, and
A, 4,250, 900 in mechanics, manufactures
and mining. 1t may be set down that,
although the hardest physical toll in the
shop, factory and mine falls to the lot of
less than 5000, 900 in all, the designa-
ton Of workingmen properly applies to
fully $4,000, 900, as more than three
ffths of the whole are really dependent
for their daily bread on the exercise of
their muscles as well as their brains.
