SENATOR BECK struck the anti sill
yer absurdity broadslde blow the
other day. The Senate had under
consideration Mr.. Evarts' resolutions
directing the President to open cor
respondence with foreign powers as
to the proper disposition of our sill
YER product. Mr.. Beck thought he
would move TO strike out all after the
word, "Resolved," and insert:
That Prince Bismarck be respect
fully requested to advise the American
Congress how best to destroy silver
| coinage.
Recollecting doubtless that the
German Chancellor made the United
States understand very clearly what
should be done with our hog supply,
and that England very graclously
fixes the price of our bread, Mr.
Allison, Of Iowa, pertinently charac-
terized the Kentucky Senator's sug-
gestion as every important"
With proper industry our states
men will not be long in finding out
that Europe desires and will sooner
or later demand that the people of
this country shall repudiate all its
products except debt-paying gold.
PERHAPS it 0he JOURNAL) means to
apply for a pension in the event of its
disability to carry on the war after its
engagement with the McComasites.-
Cumberland Times.
The JOURNAL has no engage
ment with the McComasites' on the
silver or any other question, and can
have none. Certainly, so far as sill
ver goes Mr.. McComas' views are in
directly as dangerous to a sound cir
culating medium as the Times no.
tlons are directly so. Tweedledee,
in this case, will accomplish by
longer way round all that tWeedle-
dunn proposes by short cut. Mr..
McComas would slaughter silver
coinage by making the dollar unpop-
ular; the Times would not make the
dollar at all. Both are shooting the
same rapids.
President HUGHES is reported to
have said here Sunday ''if the men
of this region wanted to remain in
Egypt it made no difference to him."
That was not the talk of either a
Moses or Joshua.
The JOURNAL does not believe,
however, that the men of this region
are in Egypt, but rather in the first
fringe of the wilderness.
Canaan is ahead, but Hughes,
kiliutf, and even Powderly will pass
away before forty years OF kicking
culminate in possession Of the land.
ZADKIEL's forecast of affairs last
year for 1856 under the heading Of
August 3:
Closely following the electrical dis
turbances of the last week in July in
dications of earthquakes will be felt
in certain parts.
Strange to say, that very afternoon
the Cumberland Times "trembled
for the fate Of the nation"
THE Cumberland Times warns
the public against" counterfeit" "dad-
dy DOLLAR" Il sample Of which it has
seen, as the ''owner can generally
count upon being out one hundred
cents on the dollar" The fnancier
is yet to be born, however, who will
demonstrate Il loss Of cone hundred
cents on Il dollar worth only 763
cents.
lT is more than probable Congress
did not pass the Romiser bill sin
spite Of the Presidents disapproval.'
At this distance the vote of the two
Houses sounds like triumphant
revolt against a pension clerks care
lessness.
THE Frostburg JOURNAL has gone
into the silver dollar war rs volun-
er.-Cumberland Times.
Does that imply that any other
paper has gone into the anti-silyer
dollar war as a substitute or IL
conscrlpt.
