ME-. VENABLE, of the Petersburg district,
expressed patent truth In few words, In
his epeech in the U. s. House of Represent
atives last Monday, when he eeid: "There
Ia but one feature of the protective tariff
bill that commends itself to our protected
Industries, and that is the unprotected con-
sumner" If the unprotected consumers, who
constitute ninety per cent. of the country'f
population, could only get this naked truth
into their heads, the republican party would
have to devise some other snare and delu.
sion by which to deceive northern white
people into continuing their support Of such
an Unjust and sectional organization.

Nh. DoLpH In his speech in the Senate
last Monday said Roumania is going to de-
monetiza her silver currency, and that such
haste hes been induced by the prospect OF
the passage OF the silver bill now before The
Congress OF the United States that the mic
lister of finance has invited offsrs for the
purchase of that silver, aad that it Ia rumoi
ed an American syndicate has been formed
to buy 1t and sell it to this government
The rumor referred to by the Oregon Sens'
tor Is probably correct. But that is not the
worst, for should the silver bill pass, moi
only the Roumonian, but large amount o.
the Deprecated silver currency OF the Latin
Uuion would soon find it's way here for the
came purpose, and be exchanged for Amer
Gao gold, the sight of which would become
rare in its own country.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY %.

AS THE farmers constitute the majority Oh
the voters of the country, the bill OF Senator
Stanford, whose millions are 80 safe That no
financial policy Of the government can al
feet MIN, to lend farmers money on their
land at two psr cent. will doubtless be POP
ular. But this is, nominally at least, free
and equal country. How then can the gov
eminent lend g farmer money on his land,
without lending it to the merchant on MIS-
goods, to the seamstress on her sewing ma
chine. to the mechanic on his tools, to the
surgeon on his instruments, to the edi-
tor on his paper, to the manufactures
on his plant, to the mine owner on mis-
miae, to the railroads on their stock, to the
shi!.-owner on his ship, indeed to any cstl'
zsn of the country on any sort OF property,
real or personal? In short, why not make
the treasury OF the country large ano
cheap pawnbroker's shop? But MIR. Stan
ford's bill is just as wise as many others that
have passed republican CoDgrt seq and beer
approved by republican Presidents.
