MORE MONEY.

| mere Il laiulE one OF lne many
| visionary schemes preached to-day for
| the issuance OF more money that has
not been tried with the most DISASTROUS
| results at one time or another in the
| past. Anyone who will take the trou-
| Die TO look over the records can very
soon satisfy himself on that point. The
instances are many and striking, ana
| leave no doubt OF the wild and extrava-
CANT pitch to which popular clamor
may and sometimes does rise when the
money question leads all others.
That il is becoming a more or less
prominent political issue in this coun-
Try can not be doubted. With the Ali
ances it IS a leading issue: one that IS
made 10 Outrank every other in what
appears to be d more or less eXagger-
ated Importance And the Alliance is
itself becoming an important institu-
ton.
There can be no doubt. and leading
financiers and statesmen now admit it.
that there is not money enough to do
the business of the world. More money
is absolutely needed. and the need is
imperative. Only think of it. OF the
business done in the world to-day only
per cent is cash and % credit, and
that because there is no more cash. Is
it wonderful that stringencies and
panics occur. Or that people should be
in constant dread of them? Only few
days ago MIR. Goschen, chancellor OF
the English eXchequer, admitted the
need for more money when he declared
his intention to issue & notes. AT present
and for many years the English have
had nothing less than the e5 note.
That Europe needs more money than
she has is made evident by the fact
hat she was compelled TO import from
this country since the first of the year
about $50, 600. 900 in gold coin. This very
circumstance more than any thing that
has happened in recent years, has en-
phasized the pressing demand for
money. for gold and silver. Europe
Ostracised silver in 1872 and -, and is
now being made aware OF the injurious
effects thereof. The United States fol-
lowed suit, but retraced her steps five
years later. a fortunate circumstance
to which she is now largely indebted
for her ability TO go to the rescue OF her
European cousins. If that circumstance
does not powerfully impress European
governments with the benefcence OF |
bi-metalism Of silver coinage. nothing
will. What if this country was with |
out the $3.50, G0G, 900 OF silver coined in |
recent years? And if there were more |
still, the country would be so much the |
better off, and Europe even, would pro-
fit by it as she has already protited by |
that coined. As recent events prove. |
the money question is one whose press
ing importance is not by any means
confined TO the United States. But |
nowhere else is the sub-treasury or The
land mortgage plan OF creating money

TIE BRIGGS CASE.

The action of the Presbyterian as
sembIy in the Briggs case is very de-
cisive. 1t vetoes his appointment to a
professorship in Union college. the vote
against han being 425 10 "a in his
favor.
We cannot see how the church could
have done anything else but condemn
DR.. Briggs. He had proclaimed his
holding Of a belief antagonistic to its
creed. His position in Union college
was that of teacher. He could not
teach the Presbyterian confession OF
faith, for that he had denied. The only
thing left for the Presbyterians was TO
reject him or submit to having doctrine
that was fatal TO their creed taught to
and impressed upon the young men
who were to be the instruments of
spreading that creed throughout the
world
The merits of the Westminster con-
fesSion do not enter into this question.
That may be antiGuated. behind the
age OF reason. an excessive strain upon
the credulousness OF thinking men. but
none of these things can be pleaded by
Dr.. Briggs in his defense. The West
minister confession demands certain
concessions of belief and faith, and

THE POLITICAL STORM CENTER.

There were about 400 delegates in
the National Alliance-labor convention
at Cincinatti. two-thirds of whom came
from Ohio, Indiana and Kansas. The
latter named state furnished one-third
Of the convention. This is significant
fact that proves the unsettled and
chaotic condition Of politics in that re-
cent fortress OF radical Republicanism.
1t is quite clear that the movement that
last fall retired Ingalls, from the politi-
cal arena and made 'kindling wood Of
the party machine. has lost but little,
if any, of It's original force. and may
still have sufficient momentum year
hence 10 surprise the country once
more. II is plainly the storm center of
revolutionary politics in the West, if
not in the country. Neither Providence
nor the government has been gracious
to Kansas.
\ combination of ingalls,. the tariff
and drouth is responsible for the
political turmoil there 1t was a COM
bination that destroyed the crop OF
cereals year after year, and produced
instead q crop OF reformers, many OF
whom are honest and many are not.

DEMOCRACY Nor RESPONSIBLE.

The true reason why this stunted
and starved volume of circulation has
been maintained is that the money
power of New York and New England
has dominated and controlled The finan-
cial policy Of the government since the
beginning OF the war between the
states. The Democratic party has
never had the power in congress to
break and overthrow this financial
despotism. The financial policy under
which the vast and varied business OF
the country is conducted contemplates
gold as the only standard OF value. and
national bank notes as the only proper
paper currency. The exceptions as 10
the silver in circulation at this time
and gold and silver certificates, and the
three hundred and forty-six millions of.
legal tenders have been enforced by5

the public. The book is divided into three
parts. the first dealing with the secession
movement and the causes antedating and
leading 10 the civil war, then follows an ac-
count of the secession and confederation OF
the seeding states, and the third ard last
is devoted exclusively TO the narration OF
what belonged 70 the active prosecution of
the civil strife that ensued. The widow Of
the distinguished author has given her per-
sOnal supervision 10 the compilation of the
volume, arranging the matter, reading and
carefully comparing the proof sheets with

qualified than waS Slr. Davis for the work

HAMILTON, TEN. MAY a. Il

Editor Gazette:
There was quite an exciting occurrence
in our courtroom yesterday, with one of
our leading citizens, Col. w. S. Brunk, in
which he objected to some slanderous re-
n ark made by our states attorney during
his speech TO the jury, against 5. Il.
Doroney, for stealing cap, in which case
Col. Brunk was witness, and only asked
the judge if man had as prosecuting al
torney any right to abuse him inside of "a
courtroom in way that would cast any re-
Elections on him that is calculated to mortify
the dignity Of himself or his family, all of
whom are so highly respected in our COM
munity. On his asking this question, the
judge, it is supposed, let his anger get the
upper hand of him and ordered the eolonel's
arrest and a fine of so. which he RENTED
a few minutes afterward Col. Brunk is
one of our old and well-respected citizens,
has been living in Hamilton near twenty
Years and has the reputation of being a
gentleman in every respect, and our citi-
zens are sorry TO see him grieved OF ac-
count of what happened. A. C. FCQUA
