If Congress would settle the silver
agitation, and stop speculation in
gold and silver by passing an act,
giving the right of free coinage to sill
YER, the same free right that is given
to gold. That would settle the ques
ton as far as agitation goes, and go
a long distance in the direction of
putting the languishing business of
the country on its feet. The cry of
silver pool by gold bug interests in
Congress is only dust stirred up to
hide the work of the gold bug men
and business wreckers.
From the Liverpool Sun: Every
now and then some postmaster sends
notice of some one lifting his paper
cause, moved away. In some such
cases the party so doing is in ar
rears, and takes that opportunity to
cheat the printer. The latest trick
of that kind served on us was by a
party who took this paper at McKees
Half Falls and moved away. Shall
we tell his Iame? How nicely we
could give him away, but perhaps
his conscience will yet trouble him
enough to induce him to give us our
own. 1t is very likely that the print
er is not the only one that suffers
from the doings of such persons.
Let this be a warning to others who
may possible be inclined to play that
trick on us.
