LET THE PEOPLE BEWARE.

From the St. Louis Christian Advocate. I
Very glad to notice indications of the
conversion of Senator Sherman OH the
subject of the silver question, or if not
converted, he leans that way, and is
ready tor the "anxious seat" or the
''mourner's BENCH Hear him:
81 think the time has arrived when
the standard dollar, the trade dollar
and the fractional coins should be free
ly received into the treasury, and when
needed be re-issued, with enough silver
in them to make them equal IN marke,
value to a gold dollar"
But how would this work? Would
the government receive this coin on
the gold basis, or at its present value !!
If the latter would it pay for it at the
same rates, or at gold rates? Should
this be the case, will not all the exist
ing debts of the country be then in.
creased by about 20 per cent, so that
in reality he who owes 800 would
then have really to pay Sl20, and at
the same rates on all debts? To re-
ceive silver at the rate value, and then
increase that value would seriously
affect every debtor in all the country,
and make him 20 per cent. poorer, and
the creditor 20 per cent. richer. What
a rich operation that would be to the
creditor class that holds millions upon
millions of government, state, county
and municipal bonds. Senator Sher-
man is said to have used the above
language in a speech delivered lately
in Philadelphia. He is an astute finan-
cier, but some how it happens that his
tinanciering seems always TO inure
to the benefit of the m%oneyed C asses
and to the detriment OF others. The
people, or some Of them, have not for
gotten his doctrine and practices while
secretary of the treasury-and though
he now seems to be veering round, it
is only to reach the same end by anoth-
er route. Let the people beware.

company. 1t is a matter OF no impor-
lance to him whether he makes Sl5 a
a car for freight, or makes it upon the
sale of the coal in the market.
Now is there a remedy for this great
wrong? There is. There is a power
that cln correct the wrong and give
every one who desires an opportunity
to engage in this important trade, but
the trouble is to induce those who have
the power to exercise it.. The legisla-
ture has enacted laws to control the
freight on railroads and the people have
elected commissioners to execute the
lave and protect their interests against
the aggressions of the railroads. They
can cause a reduction of freight that
we'll insure a large increase in the ship
ment of coal and induce many to en-
gage in. it that will not do sc now.
Will they do~it? If we may judge the
future by the past, we must conclude
that they will not. They have been
appealed to but it is vain. There is but
little hope that. they will yer act and
show their willingness to protect the
people and the public interests. The
statement that it is useless for the board
to reduce the rate to a point that the
railroads will not agree to, as they have
no power to enforce it, is only an ex-
cuse as thin as gauze, that the people
will not accept. All they ask now. is
for the board to reduce the rate to. q
reasonable moun and they will 60
into the courts and enforce it, and pro-
tect their rights. They have done it
before and will do so again.
| cannot entertain the belief, express
ed by many, that the railroad commits
sioners elected bv the people are favor
ing the railroads, o am l prepared to
deny it. 1t may be too harsh a judg-
ment to charge them with such; unfaith-
fulness to those who have honored
them with such an important trust.
Yet they have failed to act. The laws
passed for the government of railroads
were intended to he executed, and it
was expected the commissioners would
see that they were observed. If the
railroad companies are allowed to dis
regard the laws and defy the authority
of the state, all laws relating TO the
control OF railroads should be repealed
and the amount 10Y paid to the rail-
road commissioners who fail to act saw
ed to the state Ii they are I'M willing or
cannot protect the public interests the
Office Is useless and the people should
not be taxed to pay their salaries.

chilly sensation was past, | was all
right. The sensation was delightful,
| should have shouted out in gladness,
as other children along the same beach
did, if l had had any one to shout at,
though there were hundreds in the sea
at the same time. Ifelt all along that no
one knew me, and knew no one. l
waded ont some considerable distance,
and watching the a as they rolled
i'll, l would jump up and ride in on
them 10. the shore, and in this way l
enjoyed myself hugely. These waves
generally come in by threes, and after
short intervals. would be followed by
other threes, and thus it has gone on,
l am told, ever since there was a beach
for them to dash against. When they
would break along the shore there was
q scream among the bathers, and some
of them would be overwhelmed by the
waters. AS l watched others tritiing
with these mighty waters, l thought
they were making an outcry for moth
to be heard above the roar
of the waters-so 1 thought 1 would
test the force of. the waves; seeing a
huge one coming in, and waiting until
it was about to break along the shore,
1 braced myself up against it, and in
thought, said, "YOu shall not override
me-" but alas for human weakness aud
arrogance the wave dashed me to the
ground as it would a straw and rolling
me over and over again, left me away
out on the beach a helpless thing, but
greatly relieved when l found no
one lOOkiuo or lanuhinU at me-. Man
with all mis- might was impotence in
the hands of the Ocean King, and yet
the little grains OF sand, in the hands
of Almighty God, stayed the proud
waters and saved me and my fellow
jewellers upon the earth from overflow.
Oh. 1 would 80 love to 60 to the sea
again and try the experiment again of
staying His waters, even a: the expense
of an ignominious overthrow. But
let us rest b ere, and next week 1 will
try to complete my visit to Santa
Cruz. Il.
