When We proposed to remonetizeit
i'll 1873 and admit it to limited COIN
age of not less than 100000, nor
more than - 100000 a month, we
were told by the representatives of
capital that a silver dollar contain
ing 412H grains was worth less than
a gold dollar, and that it would be a
dishonest dollar, and if we remone-
tized and admitted it to even this
limited coinage we would reduce this
country to a silver standard and
drive all the gold out of the country
We passed the bill, however. and un-
der it have coined some $500, 900, 900
upon most of which silver certificates
were issued. We had in 1873 about
$3.50, ,OOO, 900 in gold in this country.
Mr.. Sherman, then Secretary of the
Treasury, issued an order authoriz-
ing the exchange of silver certificates
for gold, dollar for dollar, and in a
very short time $4,000, 900 in gold
were brought to the Treasury and
exchanged for the silver certificates,
and Mr.. Sherman then suspended the
order. And so far from driving the
$3.50, 100000 of gold then in the
country from it we have gradually
increased our gold until we have now
about $7OC, 100000 in gold.-Sena-
tor Harris, of Tennessee.

THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE.
Their Triumphant Advance Again to
Place and Power.

Although they were overthrown in
the war, their fortunes ruined by the
disastrous issue of that contest and
their whole social system disrupted
and permanently altered, neverthe.
less Southern people still control the
social life of tho capital of tho coun-
try, and their supremacy is recog-
nized by their fellow-citizens from
the North, in spite of tho fact that
in mere point of wealth tho latter oc-
cupy in comparison = very much su
perior position.
1t has been surprising to many
people to witness the resurrection Of
the South and its triumphant advance
again to power and to place but 1t
is fact, worthy or not, as the case
may be, of some study. If things 20
on as they have been for the last ten
years, the South By the end Of an
other ten years will as fully be in
possession of the Government, and
will as completely direct its policy
IS in 1858; and it cannot be said
that this will happen because of any
popularity of their lives, nor the
habits of authority and domination
which were the natural outcome Of
their system of slavery, and of the
necessity for their banding together
regardless of all other questions, to
protect it. Such conditions exist no
longer. The South is poor and needy
and her people are compelled to work
as hard as any Northern laborer; but
over and through all blazes that
power to rule and that fitness to
command which characterized them
before the war, and which is rapidly
being recognized and submitted ia
now.-Gen. John Pope, U. S. Army.

The Next Speaker or Aho House.

The speakership will be settled
without serious difficulty, as there is
q general disposition among Demo-
Gratis to select the most available
man, without regard to the section
of country he comes from. Many
of the leading newspapers of the
South are opposed to q Southern
man succeeding "Czar Reed" not
because they do not believe the Rep
resentatives of that section are com
petent, but because they do not wish
to offer any pretext for reviving Sec
tional issues in the next presidential
campaign. There may be sufficient
force in this suggestion to bring
about the selection of Northern or
Western man, but It is nevertheless
fact the Representatives from these
sections are neither doing nor saying
anything calculated to draw the sec
tional question into the contest.
They desire that a cool>headed, fair
minded, skillful parliamentarian be
elected Speaker, one who will con
st1uct the committees with a view to
promoting the best interests of the
party, leaving out altogether the
question of long service in the House.

The Tin Mining Company are max
ing preparations to go right along
with the work of developing their
valuable property near Berryville,
Virginia. The exposures thus far
made warrant the inference that
there is an inexhaustible body of the

by the company. The tin hill is 800
feet above thesurrounding tract, and
is supposed to be q compact mass of
the metal-bearing stone. Already
sections across the hilE more than q
hundred feet in length have been cut
and shaft 40 feet deep has been
sunk. The exposure at all points
shows that the precious metal is

Hard Local Hitsisg.

We are asked to say something
about the Greensboro extension.
Argument is no account. The man
who wants to keep the town dwarfed
is not worth wasting time on. The
man who is opposed to extending
the city limits because he is afraid his
clique will lose control of the place
and little pickings, is too hollow
headed to try to do anything with;
and the man who breads q little ad-
ditional taxes and would rather die
than pay them, can't be reached in
any way. We believe that a large
majority of our voters in and out
will be found against the above
"kickers. II they are not, the best
way to do is for people who can move
to Winston or some other live place
to do SO, and those who are living
away from here to stay where they
are.-Greensboro North State.

THE RACE PROBLEM.
Southern White Women the Highest
Embodiment Of Civilization.

The adjustment of the relations of
country has made very little prog
ress since the war. Education has
been upheld as the preliminary pam
acea, while assimilation has been
discussed as the ultimate means.
From England, where an African is
. comparative rsrity, there comes an
abundance of advice upon the sub
ject but all these suggestions take
no heed Of tho practical difficulties
that stand in the way.
1t does not require any further
persuasion than . common interest
to induce tho white men and the col
ored men of the South to cooperate
on public questions, the merits Of
which may be compassed by an av-
erage intelligence. Freedom Of &C
tion has done something toward
bringing tho races to = political lev>
el. But tho social separation is, il
anything, moro strongly defined
than ever.
The white men of the South assert
that the white woman is tho highest
embodiment of our modern civiliza-
ton. They assert that this product
is the result Of centuries Of effort,
and that tho race problem in the
South cannot be solved until tho col
orsd people shall have gone through
a similar refining process, and
brought forth equally satisfactory
results.
Itmay possibly be doubted wheth-
or there il not an initial difference
between a Caucasian and an African
savage rs great as the final difference
may be when education and civiliza
tion shall have done their utmost for
both The problem, however, is an
interesting one. particularly for the
people Of the United States.-Phila
