The Suspension of Specie Pay
ments am Inevitable Result Oh
the StOppaxc Of the Standard.
Dollar Coinage.

Any one must have studied the
monetary question in a very shall
low and cursory manner, who
does not see and understand that
the speedy result of the summary
stoppage of standard dollar coinage
would be the following:
As the amount of silver thrown
on the London market for sale
would be increased at least A. per
cent, the price of the metal would
assuredly depreciate in short time
in that market to such an extent
that the silver in the standard dol
lar would not be worth more than
60 cents, if so much. In that case,
it would straightway be boycotted
or refused by the banks TO greater
extent, even, than at present, and
necessarily, also, by all retail deal
ers and tradesmen of the country /;
but at the same time, all custom
duties and public taxes would be
paid in it.
Hence the Government, in self
defense, would be forced to redeem
greenbacks viii silver, with the
result, of course, that the green
back would depreciate to about the
level of silver as a monetary agency
in the country.
Once deprived of gold, the Treas
ury would, necessarily, have to
pay, also, the interest on the public
debt in standard dollars.
There would be no other alter
ternate for the Government than
the suspension of specie payments
except in silver.
The resurrection of the Gold
Exchange on Wall street would
come to pass as surely as either

The sale of Syrup of Figs is
simply immense. Everyone is tax
ing it, and admit that it is the best
medicine ever used. Children cry
for it on account of its pleasant
taste, and grown people who have
used it once never take anything
else. Unlike other remedies for
biliousness and constipation it
never loses its power to act, and it
always leaves the organs on which
it acts stronger than before. Besides

a Bloody Mystery.

On last Sunday morning start
ling discovery was made showing
that blood had been shed, but the
subject is as yet shroudcd in a mys-
tern and doubt. On Saturday
evening Mr.. II. 0. Oster, for some
time a resident Of Haley, living in
a shanty in the rear of the United
States land Office building, being
the head of a respectable family,
retired at the usual honr. But on
Sunday morning his usual CHEEKY
voice was not heard. On search
being made his head, entirely sew
cred from his body, was found in
an old ash barrel at the back of
certain premises. 1t was CHASTITY
and bloody sight. In woodpile
near by was found an AK, the blade
smeared with gore and undoubt-
edly the weapon with which the
bloody deed was done. The place
Of deposit of the rest of the
remains has not yet been discov-

involved in mystery, we shall
refrain from further comment at
present until there has been a inves-
tigation of the matter. Our feel

a Notable Fact.

Six-tenths of the gold proluct is
yielded along with silver, ANA the
demonstration of the white metal
would not only dicourage the indus
try of its mining, but that Of the
yellow metal as well. At present
we have from 100000 to / 100000
people engaged in and dependent
upon mining for livelihood. Can
Eastern producing classes desire to
see them idle? No; for the great

Silver" The Winnemucca !Silrer State
suggests that the simplest, easiest, and in
fact the only practical way is to defeat
the Republican nominees for Congress.
Should California and Nevada elect Re-
publican Representatives in November,
there will be six votes against free coin
age to one in favor of the measure, while
If the Democrats are successful there will
be seven solid votes for free coinage. The
same conditions exist in Massachusetts,
and other New England States. The Re
publicans are pledged to suspend silver
coinage, and the Democrats are bound to
uphold it. Silver is the only live issue
in the campaign, and one party is almost
solidly arrayed against its coinage, while
the other is pledged to remonetize it.
Everybody who reads party platforms
knows these facts, but only few of the
professed friends OF silver have the can
dor TO admit it. Congress should pass a
free coinage bill as soon as it assemblies
in November, and if President Cleveland
desires to Tylerize the party that elected
him, let it be known to the country.

NAVAL SMUGGLING.

The case of smuggling wines, etc., OF
United States training ships looks now
worse than at first, for according tc
Commodore Schley's statement, the
officers of these ships did bring over
wines for friends on shore There is a
special and strict law in the "Blue Book
which says that no United States naval
vessel shall ever carry freight, other than
gold, silver or jewels, and these must be
received only for safe keeping or trans
mission TO place of safety, and when
received, they must be entered on the
ships log book in detail, and an immedi-
ate delivery made on reaching their des-
tination. OF course, Commodore Schley
knows this, as does every boy, man or
officer in the navy, for it is read to them
every Sunday morning on the quarter
deck. Were those wines entered on the
log book? If they were not is not the
commanding officer guilty OF breach of
the rules and articles of war? Would
these officers pay $500 unless they knew
that they had to? Will official white
washing by the officers at Washington
suit tho importers of New York who pay
this duty regularly? OF course the whole
machinery of the Navy Department will
be brought in to play TO smooth over this
bad break, because, in manner, every
officer who has been on foreign service
has brought home more or less contra
band matter, and would not like to see
the law strictly and impartially applied,
as it would then implicate him. The
fraudulent actions of certain departments
Of the navy staff were cut open and
exposed to public view, thereby render !

S the time to do the same with the cline"
officers, and thus the men who pav the |
heavy import duties on fine wines, etc., |
will be rid of this source of opposition,

heir intention of paying duty. When
he captain entered his vessel at the Gus
ON House, he should have made it
nown then that he had freight on
'oard, but as he did not have it on
he "log'' book, he of course said nothing
bout it. There is a short and simple
'ay out of this matter, and it should be
lken at once. Secretary Whitney should
ourt-martial both commanding officers
n disobeying the old and well-known
Tvs governing the matter, and then
he service would know that the Depart
ent would not wink at such breaches of
le written law. The DEMOCRAT predicts
rlher trouble, growing out OF this case.
