Eighty-C Cent Dollar.

OF course there is no such thing as an
eighty-cent dollar. Whatever the laws
OF this country say is dollar is a dol
lar, and 1t is dollar Of 100 cents. But
the plutocratic gold owners nov set up
scarecrow and label 1t ''eighty-cent
dollar What measures this dollar
they call eighty-cent dollar? In 17g2
George Washington signed an act
which declared that the dollar THE hon
est dollar, we may observe) should con
sist Of 37lt grains Of pure silver, and
that this dollar should be OF the value
OF 100 cents, and the standard measure
Of all values. This dollar OF 37lt grains
Of the same kind OF silver exists In the
United States to-day-the same dollar
that Washington declared should be OF
the value Of 100 cents. Who presvmes
to say that it is only of the vaiee OF
eighty cents, and how is this eighty
cent value reached? Ernest Seyd. a
London banker, a descendant Of the
plunderers whom Washington drove
from America, in collusion with Mr..
John Sherman, and the American com
mittee on miuts and coinage and the
American congress, set the law OF
Washington at defiance and sot up a
god of gold, the money OF monarchy and
tyranny, aud made il the measure Of the
honest dollar at Washington. This Is
the process by which they measure the
silver dollar as an eighty-cent dollar.
Washington was opposed TO tyranny
either Of men or money, and we are sat
isfied with what he established as an
honest dollar. .-Progressiv Farmer,

LONDON, Oct. l0.--Parnell was buried
Sunday at Glasnevan, near Dublin, in
the presence OF large assemblage. AS
scene OF great but suppressed excite
ment and still greater impressiveness,
the funeral and surroundings will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed it,
and will long furnish landmark in the
history OF ireland.
Everybody is delighted with the fact
that the Parnell funeral passed of so
peacefully. That there was no disturb
ance was owing to the wise resolve Of
the anti-Parnellites not to be present.
William O'Brlen, Joha Dillon and Sex
ton watched the scene from the window
OF friends house on the route OF pro.
cession. The curtain was kept closed,
so that the three members OF parlia-
ment only had furtive glanees at the
great demonstration, while they them
selves remained completely hidden from
view. II is said that Mr.. Dillon had ex-
pressed his determination OF visiting
the funeral, whatever the result TO him
self, and that 1t was with some difficult
ty that he was induced to run no more
risk than that of Peeping Tom.
In nearly all the churches Of Ireland
Sunday some allusion was made TO the
death Of Parnell. In some instances the
mention was charitable; in other cases
it was a reflection of the language OF
Archbishop Walsh in the Dublin Cath
olic. Friends OF Parnell claim that the
bishop had given secret instructions
that his memory should be attacked by
the clergy, with the view of injuring
the Parnellite cause as much as possi-
Bile. In several instances admirers Of
Parnell left their seats in the churches
when they heard anything said OF an
offensive character. Advices from all
parts OF ireland show that the Parnell-
ite cause has been strengthened by his
death, and that he has left a party that
will 20 an under another leader.
