THE commerce of the world is in
creasing every year-dOubling in less
than generation; the supply of gold,
which is the only measure of that
commerce, is less than it was twenty
wears ago. How could it be otherwise
than that gold should go up in price,
aud that debts payable in gold SHOULD
increase in value? 1t would seem
plain enough that, unless new gold
mines of large extent are discovered,
gold will be dearer in 1873 than it is
row: dearer in 1890 than in 1888; dear
or i'm 1892 than in 1890; in fact, that it
win go on appreciating in value until
its excessive scarcity makes it so un-
suitable for use as currency that the
nations will have no choice but to dis
card it. The question is, whether We
had not better anticipate the future,
and see if we cannot dispense with a
metallic currency altogether.-lSan
Francisco Chronicle.

A FRIDAYS dispatch saws that Sen.

A FRIDAYS dispatch says that Sen.
ator Pugh's daughter was rescued from
a brutal husband, at Omaha, Thursday
last, by her brother, and taken to AL
ALBANIA. The Senator had been unable
to learn her whereabouts for over q
year. The man she married turned
out to be a worthless wretch, who kept
her in confinement and beat her.
Young Pugh threatened him with a
revolver before he could get an inter-
view with the unhappy woman.

THE railroad attorneys of the Sen
ate, under the lead of Edmunds and
Evarts, have succeeded in getting Sem
ator Beck's bill to prohibit Congress
men from acting as attorneys for land
grant railroads, recOnsidered and sent
to hostile committee, where it will
sleep the sleep that knows no waking.
Evarts killed the bill by calling it Il
unilateral scheme" Beck, in a few
words, advanced the reasons the bill
should become a law. 1.-THE country
believed" said he, that the $5 900 a
year received by Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress entitled the
people to their whole services, and if
Senators or Representatives could not
liye on that compensation, they had
no right to supplement it by taking
fees from corporations whose interests
were adverse to those of the people. /"
John Sherman also favored the bill.
The action of the railroad Senators
rather overshadows anything alleged
against Attorney General Garland
He took Pan-electric stock, but its
possession he held disqualified him
from acting in q case indirectly in
vOlving his stock interests. The cor
pOratiOn Senators take 5000 a year
from Uncle Sam for guarding his in
terests. Then they take $4,000 and
$40, 900 fees to go into the Supreme
Court and battle for the railroad COM
panies against the Government.

Gard TO the Public.

/ would take this public method of
thanking my friends throughout the
country for the very generous support
accorded me while acting as agent for
the Home Ins. Go. of New York, and
would further say by way of explana-
ton, that although the home has declin-
ed to write any more risks for the pre-
sent in. this locality, it still stands to
the front as a No. company, and those
holding policies in the old Home need
have no fears chat in case of loss) but
that their just claims will be honorably
and promptly adjusted as in the past. |
have other first-class companies and
can meet all demands in the insurance
business. Please read Special Agent
Sinclair's letter, which think will set
at rest some of the busy wagging
tongues in this neighborhood.
Yours Very Respectfully,

An Infamous Imposition.

"The public be id" is an express
sion recently made famous, and was
coined by the great millionaire Wander
bilt, and no doubt the big man felt just
as he uttered, at least we have reason
to Judge from the results of his life that
he both felt and acted out the principle.
But Vanderbilt has passed in his checks,
and the great public still lives and has
neither tears nor sympathy for such as
he, but rather enjoys grim satisfaction
in the old adage that every dog has
his day" and that perhaps Van may at
the present moment be enjoying small
section of the damnation he so freely
bestowed on the public. The motto
above mentioned seems to be not ex-
clusively retained in the Vanderbilt
family, many corporations having APP
propriated the same as corporate
devise-our own little Z. III. X y. w.
II. II. is not free from this charge. 1t
has from the first. with the most SUI
preme indifference, trampled on the
rights of the public. Any day and every
day travel is impeded and stopped,
sometimes for as much as 10 or 10
minutes right OH the main street, by
trains shunting and standing still on
the track across the street and it is a
frequent occurrence to see teams run
away and smash up the vehicles (en-
dangering tire lives of the occupants)
caused by the sudden blowing off steam
while teams are passing just at the
head of the engine. We had runaway
and smash-up OH Tuesday from this
cause. n few years ago old Mrs.
Menerey had two legs and an arm brok-
Ell. We have had several accidents
since and no doubt such things will
continue till long suffering public will
rise up in their might and by some
means, not pleasant to the above corpo-
ration, compel it to abate the infamous
imposition.

Home Insurance Company Withdrawn.

Brockway Centre, Jan. %, 1886
TO whom it may concern
AS it has been recently circulated to
stme extent, that the reason why the
Home Insurance Co. of y. Y. have con-
cluded to withdraw their agency from
Brockway Centre and vicinity, is be-
cause they had lost confidence i'm Mr..
Browns judgment and integrity. This
is not so. Mr.. Brown represented the
Michigan State Insurance Co. from 1871
to 1880, since which time he has repre-
sented the Home of New York and
during this long time and large business
done for both companies, he has always
had their entire confidence. They re-
gard him as man of excellent judg-
ment and strict integrity. Our long
business career with him has always
been pleasant and satisfactory and the
reasons for the Homes final conclusion
to withdraw their agency from Brock
way Centre. is from some unknown
causes. their losses have been so nu-
merous, that the business has become un-
profitable, but we do not lay the blame
to Mr.. Brown, the blame is not there,
and should the Home conclude to re-
establish their agency in this locality
again, no man in this entire vicinity
would be more sought after to represent
them than he. a. j. SINCLAIR,
