The following is q portion OF Sen
ator VOORHEES, speech in the q. s..
=, Senate, on the 10Th of March last.
It deserves to be preserved. We
would like to hear from Blaine again
on the subject of ''trusts as private
affairs"
Nor did this evil god of ill-gotten
wealth, this fallen angel of greed and
lust for gold, once a dweller in heaven
but now an inhabitant of hell, fall
short of his delineation by Milton
when in his base, hard, grinding and
oppressive spirit, our present tinan-
cial system, with it's many and wide
spread branches and it's far-reaching
and destructive consequences, was
organized and enacted during the
war. No" vision beatific" of an I'M
selfish patriotism, of mighty, mus
tering multitudes, comprising the
flower of the land marching to the
altar of self-sacrifice, and treading
with high, heroic step and mein
the wine-press of the battle-fields;
no vision of a Union restored, q
country united and flag floating in
the sunlight of peace, ever for an in
slant allured the thoughts or divert
ed the gaze of the American Mammon
and his ignoble conclave, when they
engaged in laying deep and strong
the foundations of the plutocracy,
the giant money-power which now
governs and curses this country and
its laboring people.
A system of finance has been fasten-
ed upon the American people with
more hands than the tabled Briareus,
and each one with an itching palm to
clutch the fruit of honest industry
for the enrichment of those who toll
not, and yet outvie in splendor many
OF the crowned heads OF Europe. Of
this oppressive system there are
many parts and contrivances, and
skillfully woven together like great
network, and having all the time
the same object IN view, the taxation
OF one class of citizens for the enrich
ment of another class. 1t is some
times said that certain old sins of the
government should not be recalled
at this late day; that they have the
sanction of time, wear q venerable
aspect, and should be condoned.
When ministers OF the Christian re-
ligion cease to denounce the sins and
crimes of the human race because
they are old, 'hoary and white with
ED" then, and not till then, will the
fraudulent manner in which our bond
ed debt was doubled on the taxpayer
be forgotten; then and not till then,
will the characterization of silver be
forgiven; then, and not till then. will
a high protective tariff, existing not
for revenue, but as machine with
which to gorge, glut and cram the
privileged few at the expense of the
many, to cease exasperate and influ-
ence the Indignation of the intelligent
laborers of the world.

A Unique Banner.

A Kansas City lady has most unique
banner. 1t is as beautiful as it is unique,
and is priced by its owner for its beauty
and oddity. 1t is made of the skin of
an enormous rattlesnake, with back
ground of plush. The snake skin was
sent the lady by friend who lives in
Texas. 1t is beautifully tanned, the back
being colored and covered with spots re-
sembling small scales, which OH the back
ground of plush look for all the world
like mosaic. The skin is over five feet
long without the head and tail, and four
teen rattles denoted its age. In the widest
part of the body the skin is nine inches
in width, thus showing in life that the
rightful owner of the skin which now
adorns the lady's parlor must have been
an ugly customer. A letter which pre-
coded the present states that belts made
of rattlesnakc skins are much worn by
the young ladies Of Texas, and are a
common article of bellies apparel.

Natural Sealskin.

The glossy brown of seal fur, So much
admired by the female sex, collectively
and individually, is not the color of the
animal which originally wore the ex-
pcnsivc apparel.
The natural color OF sealskin is sort
of silvcry, grayish brown, with sug-
gestion of several other tints. 1t is quite
as pleasing to the eye rs the unrelieved
brown of the dyed fur, and the wonder
is that garments made of undyed skins
are so rarely found in this section of the
country.
On the Pacific coast they are frequently
seen. The Eastern woman who becomes
the possessor of n sacque made of the
highly valued fur in its natural color may
feel proud in the knowledge that she has
something uniqnc and very pretty, but
no doubt her pleasure will be tainted with
sorrow at the thought that so few of her
friends will recognize the garment as one
OF scalskin.
Perhaps the fact that none but the
dyed fur is placed on the market here
may be explained by the other fact that
the high price of seais..in Is mostly due
to the dyeing, which has to be done in
England, rs no American has thus far
discovered process equal TO the English.
Of course, the transportation to Eng.
land and return, and the dycing add to
tie expense very materially, and expense
is one of the principal charms that lurk
in the vclvcty fur of the lnild-eycd seal.
