Hanna the following compliment.
"Pedagogue Hanna, of the Sixth,

merits of the book and the vendor"

We find many of our friends and pat
rons are under the impression that our
excursion is the 10th, but such is not
the case. Brickley & Mccullough go to
Colchester, Steelton and Baltimore
Harbor on July 23d that's the date and
do not forget it. Go and see the new
sights on their lists, the famous North
Point forts, large elevators, harbor full
of shipping from this country and all
other countries. Grand signs for those
who never seen it, last but not least
the greatest steel works in the country,
a city built in two years. Moneys
worth and plenty to spare. Brickley

One of the city dailies in speaking of
the advance of the silver bill says,
"The compromise agreed upon yester-
day, Monday it is feared, will go

law it will compel the Secretary of the
Treasury to purchase each month A.
$780, 900 ounces ofsilver, no matter what
the price may be. Conservative people
hoped that silver legislation would be
blocked, but the silver men were too
strong. We can take consolation in
the fact that the evil of free coinage is
averted."
If some of these dolefuls would only
point out and explain where this evil
comes in what grand thing it would
be for the public to understand it, but
they never attempt that.
