was original with the Iost or merely a
clipping; but we wish TO say, right here,
that our morning contemporary will COM
pare favorably with any paper in the
country not only as regards mere gram
mar, but in the matter Of rhetoric and lit
erary style as well. The gentlemen who
write editorials for the Post are masters of
elegant English. They harbor high
thoughts and cherish pure ideals. We
venture to assert that the blundering bar
barism of which the Ne,Cs complains did
not appear in any of their work unless,
indeed, the Carter referred to be an officer
of the Civil Service Commission or rela-
tive or p,'otcgc of one OF the commission
ers. Candor compels the admission that,
when the esteemed Post wrestles with that
subject II almost invariably emergcs from
the struggle flushed, breathless, inco-
herent and in condition of rhetorical
dcsho6We most distressing to observe.
Barring that, however, we renew the
confident assertion that the Netcs has
criticised the Post unjustly.

tercsting proofs printed In colors Alto
gether there are 107 plates, but perhaps
the most attractive feature Of the book IL
the binding which Is indeed marvelorsly
beautiful. The volume, q thick quarto, Is
bound in crtishcdgrecn lcvant morocco,
with super extra Of auniquc Napoleonic
style, panelcd compartments composed of
eagles and "N.,n aud in the centre the
heraldic blazon of the empire, and douJle

leather-lined drop case.
This book Is said to have cost Mr.. Will

SprAKER ELDER of the Kansas Legisla-
ture has introduced bill to forbid con-
tracts requiring gold payments. In one
way this would be equivalent to re-
quiriDg contracts to be made in silver
payments. In fact and in practice 1t
would not help the matter any, for If the
person to whom payment is to be made
wants his pay in gold he can accomplish
his point by exacting enough silver to
make the payment equivalent to what it
would be were it made in gold. And,
generally speaking, in order to be sure of
getting enough, he would usually get
more than would be a just equivalent.
Such law, therefore, would only injure
those whom il is intended to help.

The Goloid Dollar a..
Memphis Commercial.

Memphis Commercial.
Mr.. A. w. Brockway of Browns
vile, who has manifested so much
interest in the mooted question of a
co-metallic dollar, will, with all those
of our readers who have followed his
arguments, be interested to know that
the cognate question of the goloid
dollar, proposed in Congress in 1879,
has been revived by Mr.. VIM. w.
Hubbell, correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, as compromise upon
which gold and silver men might
agree. He proposes, as The Sun
states, "That the goloid dollar should
consist of mixture of gold, silver
and copper in such proportions that,
as respects value, the gold and silver
would be about equal. 1t might be
made by melting a gold dollar up
with silver dollar, cutting the re-
sulting lump into halves and uniting
each half into new dollar. Such a
coin would have several good merits.
1t would not be excessively small
like the present gold dollar, nor ex-
cessively large like the silver dollar,
nor would its value be subject to
fluctuations equally with existing
coins. If gold goes up as silver goes
down, the one component of the
goloid would balance the other. So
also in case gold should begin to tum.
BILE and silver should soar. Experts
say the goloid dollar would be harder
than either of its components and
wear better, The ideal money, in
our correspondents opinion, would
be parer money on a goloid basis D
Mr.. Brockway's co-metalic dollar
would be more complicated and cost
ly in its production than this. 1t i;
proposed that it shall be composed O
gold center with silver disc O
equal value. Better than either o
these plans, better for commerce anC
trade and the general interests of the
people, would be a bi-metallic cur
rency based upon international agree
ment and which would secure tn,
people in dollars worth 100 cents il
silver as well as gold,

Cleveland's Head is Level.
Shelbyville Gazette.

Shelbyville Gazette
Democratic comments throughout
the entire country, in regard to Gro
yer Cleveland's silver coinage letter,
are many, and of many different
views. BY some the letter and its
writer are applauded; by others, both
are denounced. Yet, for all this,
Grover Cleveland is a man with a
mighty level head, and it may be
that before 1872 comes those who now
denOunce him fiercest will praise him
loudest. Cleveland is able; he wise,
he is candid, and is never afraid nor
ashamed to say and do what he
thinks right. Let GROWERS wait
Cleveland is not opposed to silver
coinage, but he wants an honest dol
lar, one that would have more than
eighty cents worth of bullion to make
a dollar out of. He wants a silver
dollar that will pass anywhere anC
everywhere for a dollar, and will buy
a dollars worth.
