The Silver Dollar.

All debts are payable in dollars, and the first dollar known to the American people was the silver coin of that name. It contained 3l25 grains Of pure silver when 1t was first coined in 1785, and it cont ins the same amount now-no more, no less. And there has not been an hour since l785, one hundred years ago, when these silver dollars were not full legal tender for all obligations. Indeed, it could not have been otherwise, for from 1785 to 1S49, g period of Sixty-four years, sil- yer dollars were the only dollars in existence. There Is not & banker or bond holder in New York or anywhere else who ever saw gold dollar until 1S49, and there are probably 30,000, 900 of the people of this country who never saw one at any time,
 And yet people are told that they are dishonest if they insist on paying the "enormous aggregate" of debts they lowe the east" in these original standard dollars and lawful silver coins. They would violate no law in doing this, nor would they violate any moral obligation. But the creditors dc not like silver, Gold is worth 20 per cent, more. md, of course they would rathor have it; and because the West and South, the debtor regions, claim their option, and they are charged with seeking to deir..ud the the creditor class Of one-ffth their honest dues.
 In point Of fact, the case is just the reverse. The silver dollar is the real par and gold is 20 per cent. premium, because it has become comparatively scarce; and when the creditor class demand gold for the $6,000,000,000 aggregate indebtedness of the country they are simply demanding 20 per cent, or $1 200 100000 more than they are justly entitled to.
 All the National debt, nineteen twentieths of the state. county and city debts of the West and South, and three-fourths of the railroad debts were incurred when the currency (greenhacks and National Bank notes) was 10 to 30 per cent, below the value of gold and silver too. By the re- sumption of specie payments in 1879, and the consequent appreciation of currency to the par of silver, these debts were increased 10 to 30 per cent. and as if this was not enough to satis fy the debtor classes, they nov de- mand another increase of 20 per cent. by having their claims paid in gold St. Louis Republican.

Cheering NeWs.

A lady, represented to be the presi- dent of the Woman's National Indus trial League, who's name Is not given, has interested herself in obtaining Congressional opion on the subject of Chinese exclusion. Of the numerous Congressmen upon whom she waited and whose views she solicited there was not one who dissented from the belief that Chinese immigration should be restricted, if not prevented, with the added opinion of two or three of the number that the Chinese now in the country should be compelled to leave. This expression of opinion seemed to concur entirely with the sen timepts entertained by the lady her self.
 If We accept these utteranceS of Congressman as an index of the views entertained generally by the houses the houses of which they are members we must arrive at the conclusion that our Pacific Coast delegation will be enabled to secure the passage of the restrictive measures now before Con gress. All accounts from Washing ton agree in saying that the prospect to that end looks cheering, This is a sign of progress. We may not secure sll the legislation needed to get rid of the Chinaman at this session, but each step in advance encourages con tinucd effort for final success.

until to-day II is one OF the strong factors
IN al business deals and developments. The
First National bank was established as a
private institution in 1879, under the man
agement and personal supervision Of its
present president, Mr.. F. A. Gale. Pend
ing the location of the Sioux crossing of the
great Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail-
way line the bank occupied limited quarters
until the spring Of 1851. when the large
two-stOry white-brick front on the corner Of
Main and Fifth streets was erected by its
president, F. A. Gale. for the banks head
quarters. At that time there were no brick
business houses TO speak of in the city. but
the erection of this structure by Mr.. Gale
and its future extension fOrty-four feet
south was a signal for more building, until
solid blocks soon became the rule.
In the fall OF 1851 the president decided
that national bank was about the next
thing necessary for continuation and ac-
cOmmOdatiOn Of the business interests Of
the city and vicinity. and accordingly the
First National Bank of Canton was soon
organized. The charter for the new insti-
tuition was received some time IN Noyen-
Der. and on the lst Of January. 1852. the
institution commenced business as a ma
tiOn3l bank. with a capital of $50. 600.
About this time. being in possession of
more funds than was really necessary TO
conduct one bank. President Gale was in
strumental in establishing pioneer banking
houses at Parker. Scotland. Kimball and
Alexandria, but on account of increasing
business at headquarters demanding his
whole attention. he disposed of his inter
ests west and thereafter devoted his energies
toward extending Canton's resources and
the First National. These banks on the
west are all fOurishing, exhibiting business
sagacity in picking out at that early day
such promising locations.
Since its establishment the First National
has continued TO grow in popularity and
prosperity. and has continued to prosper
and grow in the confidence of its supporters.
To demonstrate the condition of the inst-
tuition. the president offers for the perusal

while the latter put up about $1,000 In money
