MEMPHIS APPEAL.
SATURDAY, :. APRIL 10, 1856.
s,LyYRAND SAVINGS BANKS.

When q bank in good standing, in
the days before the national banks
were established, put out it's notes,
they were readily adopted into eircu'
laiion. II il continued to offer notes
indefinitely, a time came when there
was not money enough TO pay them
when presented, then the bank fsiled
and the notes became worthless for
mediation. The same thing must
take place with silver dollars, II they
continue to be coined indefinitely. A
time must come when the Treasury
cannot procure enough gold to meet
the silver presented, then the silver
dollar can no longer exchange for a
gold dollar. But unlike the bank
note the silver in the dollar has a
value that will always make it worth
the market price OF the silver it con-
tains, now 70 to so cent?, with a
strong probability that it will go lower.
Should the coinage 40 on, therefore,
every holder Of dollar will lose over
20 cents; every laborer earning $40
week will be paid in ten coins that
amount to less than IS. Besides this,
the money in the banks, the econo-
mics Of the comparatively poor, will
suffer the same diminution, and
every 800 will be reduced to less than
$50. The loss cannot be averted by
substituting paper money, for, as it
would DO exchangeable for silver only,
gold having gone TO a premium, paper
would be worth only what the silver
dollar would bring. This fact has
naturally aroused the anxiety Of every
savings bank in the country, aud we
have before us copy Of petition TO
Congress upon the subject, signed by
90 banks. These hanks have oil, l64
depositorS, having 1886, 94S,l76 in tue
90 banks. The petition states that
these deposits and the earn
ings and acoumulations OF the banks
are the property OF the depositors,
who are chiefly industrious persons Of
small means, and the object Of the
petition is to beg Congress Ito rspei ii
the law which directs the coinage Of
the 4l24 grain silver dollars" 1t
asks this for the reason, among others,
that the silver coinage, if continued,
unregulated by the demands Of trade,
or by the ability Of the circulation to
absorb it, tends to sever our currency
from the god standard, to compromise
the national credit, and TO create dis
trust in the minds Of the people,
! while the greater portion Of the loss
endured must DO borne by the indus
trial classes. Such a statement as this
from institutions principally owned by
working people, should arouss the at
tention Of the most Indifferent. 1t is
not "bloated bond.holders" nor
"plethorie banks greedy of gain" that
are concerned, but the hard-won saw
ings Of working people, When such
petition comes from such a source,
we can be sure that the danger APP
pretended is real, and that the appeal
is no mere effort of spectators and
mon ey-grabbers.

The subject Of fires certainly re.
quires more attention than is given to
it. II Congress put tax on the country
equal to the amount lost annually by
fire, attention would be aroused and a
change demanded. Is not loss by fire
as injurious to the country's intsres
as needless exactions by taxation ?
How important attention to the sub.
iect OF fires has become, is NANTES t
from their increase. The New York
Bulletin's monthly report for March
last informs US; During the past ten
years the fire waste Of the United
States and Canada has, in the month
of March, averaged a little over
100000. In 1885 the loss by FIRE in
March was recorded as exceptionally
severe, because it reached as large a
figure as $9,00O,000. But now we have
to charge upon March, 1885, the
heaviest loss recorded against any
MARCH, whose statistics have ever been
gathered" The total loss that month
was S10,650, 900, SO, 1000 more than
She average for March for the last
ten years. Whenever fires break out

Henry A, Mott jr., Ph.D,, F. c. s.,
Professor of Chemistry, New York
Medical College, and late Government
Chemist, says; "My investigation of
Allcock's Porous Plaster shows it to
contain valuable and essential ingred-
tents not present in any other plaster.
These ingredients are so perfectly pro-
portioned that the Allcock's Porous
Plaster will not cause blisters or ex-
cessive irritation; and l find it super
Tor and more efficient than any other
plaster" limitations and counterfeits
of this valuable remedy are being
offered for sale; so, when purchasing
Allcock's Porous Plasters, do not fail TO
see that the registered trademark
stamp is on each plaster, as none are
genuine without #.

sTILSON HUTCHINS GIVES HIS
EXPERIENCE.
ROgers's Offer or $4,000 for Pub
fishing His POetry-why IL
Was Declined.

WASHINGTON, April 8. S ilson Hut
chins OF the Washington Post ap-
peared before the Telephone Inyesti-
eating Committee to-day, and being
questioned by the chairman as to his
offer to buy Senator Vests Pan-Elec-
trio stock he gave a history of the
transaction. An advertisement had
appeared in his paper Offering to pur-
chase Pan-EleCtric stock, and Senator
Vest, who was i'll at the time, had
sent witness note asking witness TO
come and see him. He mad gone to
the Senate chamber and saw Senator
Vest in the lobby. The Senator
wanted to inquire whether he knew
who was the author of the advertise
ment in his paper. Witness did not
know, and after inquiry had failed to
find out. He returned and told Sena.
tor Vest that he could not find out,
and the Senator said he had certifi,
cate for 100 shares of Pam Electric
stock. He raid that the newspapers
were making so much clamor
about it that if he could find
bona fide purchaser for it
he did not know but what he would
sell it. In a spssm of generosity
witness supposed he told Senator Vest
that he would take the stock at the
price the Senator had paid for it. TIE
Senator made no conclusive response
at the time, but afterward wrote to
witness, thanking him for his offtr
and saying that considering the clamor
to be unjust, he had come to the con-
clusion that he would retain the stock.
Witness had the note if the commit
tee desired to embellish the proceed
ing5 with it. He never had share of
the stock and knew nothing about its
value at the time he made the PROPOSE
ton. He had once been offered a con-
siderable amount of stock to publish
DR.. Rogers's poetry, but he had de-
clined.
Mr.. Oates-Did you think the poetry
was as good as the stock
Witness thought both very bad;
witness bad not read the poetry; he
had once read an Invocation to JEFF.
Davis" by Rogers, and he had men
tally resolved never to read another
poem of hie.
Mr.. Ranney-Wss the stock sent to
you as an inducement to read the
poetry?
Witness-I think his letter stated
that the stock was coming up in the
market; that he had written poetry
which he would like to have pub
lishe', and that if l would publish il
he would give me 5000 in Pan Elec-
trio stock.

the home-rule bill. IL is understood
that the Tory and Wing leaders Of the
opposition TO Mr.. Gl4dstone's Irish
scheme preferred TO force a division
on the first reading Of the bill, but
abandoned the idea because OF Mr..
Chsmberlain's strong opposition to it.
BURNS,
the Socialist leader. in defending
himself and his colleagues to-day dur
ing their trial on the charge Of having
melted the Trafalgar square riots, said
that the occasion demsnded strong
language. He commended that if the
language for which he and the other
defendants were being tried was sedi-
iious, then the speech OF Mr.. Gladstone
in the House of Commons last even
ing, when he proposed the disintegra-
ton OF the empire was seditious also.
THE LOYAL PATRIOTIC UNION
held a meeting last night, at which
resolutions were adopted dsnouncing
Mr.. Glsdstlne's scheme. The union
has called meeting for Wednesday,
to be held in Her Msjesty's theatsr,

Che Feeling in New York,

New York, April 9.-Not only
among Irishmen, but among all nation
alities in this city to-day, Gladstone's
proposed scheme for home rule in Ire
land, as expressed in his speech yes
to day, was the general topic of discus
sion. 1t appears to meet with general
approval, Irishmen who have taken
prominent lead:in the Land League
movement think it is one that can be
accepted by the Irish , people.
They do no. look upon
it as a fnality, but the
majority teem willing to content
themselves for the present, at least,
with what is offered ia it. 1t does not
i've all that they desire, but they ex-
prass the opinion that it is more likely
to be successful than if more were de-
handed. Whatever objections may
be found to some OF the details, they
say it is step in the right direction,
and praise is everywhere accorded
to Mr.. Gladst)ne's courage,

conversation in literary and political

Mr.. Gladstone in his address, and La
