try convertible into coin of uniform value.
WANTED A PERMANENT AND FLEXIBLE SYSTEM
The day Is far distant, hope, when this
project will become the policy OF the coun-
try. That part of the law of 1890 providing
for the purchase of silver bullion, will soon
err or later be repealed so far as 1t relates
to silver purchases, but with its repeal
must come other provisions for the use of
silver, and which viii gradually increase
our circulation without impairing its sta
bility and convertlbility. That part of IL
which pledges the faith of the nation, that
every dollar circulating as money shall be
equal to every other dollar that is author
lied to circulate should not be repealed or
modified, and IL is the business of congress
to devise permanent and flexible system
which win meet this requirement.
There is nothing hopeful or helpful in the
projects and plans proposed by the Demo-
cratic party or by the Peoples party on this
subject, but only confusion and disaster as
experience has shown would follow the
adoption of their plans and projects.

The Description Tailed.

A stranger, when dining at a foreign
hotel, was accosted by detective, who
said to him: BEG Your pardon, we are
in search of an escaped convict, and, as
a matter of form, you will oblige us
with your passport" "Do look like a
convict?" Possibly not. In any case
shall require to see your passport"
The stranger, feeling annoyed, pre-
sented the officer with bill of fare, and
the latter commenced to read: "Sheep's
head, neck of mutton, pigs feet. Very
good" he observed, 1.-THE description tai

Southern View of Pensions.


This is the way the Durham IN. c.
Globe speaks of the Grand Army and the
veterans who draw pensions:
The whole business
Is
Theft
And pillage
Pure and
Simple.
We wish to God that there had been
enough Democrats in congress TO have
slapped the
Lousy Beggars
OF the North in their
Dirty faces.
This would have served them right.
They received pay for their red-handed
and wicked work-they should now subside.
Not every Democrat talks like that, but
there is no doubt that every one who
talks that way votes the Democratic
ticket.

MONEY AND THE CURRENCY.
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS UPON WHICH THE RE
PUBLIOANs ARE RIGHT


PUBLIoAEs ARE RIGHT.
The money question is an important one
in every respect, II is as important as any
other question now under discussion. 1t
relates to all exchanges of products, TO the
promotion of credits, to the payment of
debts, and in it are measured the wages of
labor and the price of all commodities. Its
consideration has added Importance from
the fact that the genral government has not
only undertaken to coin money und regulate
Its value, but to provide directly or indi-
rectly the currency that shall circulate as
representative money. This constitutional
power TO regulate and provide Is clearly
given and not now disputed by the Demo
Gratis, although denial of that power is
with them favorite impeachment to doing
what they do not want to do. For many
years until now the exclusive exercise of
this power has been acquiesced In. 1t is
power that should be exercised with care,
In the time allotted me, cannot fully dis
cuss it.; can only glance at a few truths
respecting it and the laws that govern 1t.
WHAT MONEY IS AND SHOULD BE.
The first step is to know what it is II Is
sot easy TO define IL. 1t has been defined
as a medium of exchange and measure of
value. This is undoubtedly its chief func-
ton, but the material of which 1t is COM
posed is an element that must be consid-
cred in view of the fact that exchanges and
Incdsurcs OF Ndlue, unuer our modern civili-
ration, are not confined to any one country
but on some relation extend wherever COM
merce goes. Therefore, some part of the
money of every country ought to be a com
modify having an accepted value in all civ
ilized countries. Therefore, the material of
which it is composed should have utility
outside of its money value, although that
may be it's chief use. 1t must be easily
transferred from one country to another
that Is, II must have maximum of value
with minimum of quantity. II must be dur
able, so that its value win not diminish II
must have uniform quality, so that each unit
will be like every other unit, and IL must be
subject to the least variation. These are
qualities required as shown by the universe
experience of mankind, confirmed by the
peoples, through the modern quick modes

WAGES HERE AND ABROAD.

From tie Boston ToRySak
The tariff plank in the Republican Ma
tional platform declares that the Repub-
ican party believes that on all imports
coming into competition with the pro-
ducts of American labor there should be
levied duties equal to the difference be-
tween wages abroad and at home" A
correspondent asks the Journal what diff
ference there is in the wages of skilled
labor in England and the United States.
We have gathered from various reli-
able sources the data to answer in part
at least our correspondents inquiry.
Here is table of the average wages paid
70 skilled workers in several important
industries in the large cities of Eng
land and in the large cities of the United
States. For the country districts both
here and abroad 1t is probable that the
figures would be somewhat lower:

QUESTION OF CHEAP MONEY.
THE COUNTRY WANTS NEITHER CHEAP NOR DEAF
MONEY, BUT STABLE.


There has been a cry for cheap money of
late, and various devices have been sug-
gested to accomplish this. No community
is interested in cheap money, as money
measures values. If tits cheap other things
viii be dear aud more of it will be required
to make exchange. For example, IL money
should fall 10 per cent, there would be a
rise of 10 per cent on all commodities, so of
labor, though 1t would be the last to rise,
but the laborer would pay 10 per cent more
for the things he would be obliged to pur-
chase. The farmer would get 10 per cent
more for his steer, but be would pay 10 per
cent more for his plows and his coffee,
with an added profit on the whole price
So we go through all daily transactions.
more money would be used and nobody
would be the gamer but all
would lose to the money-changers
and bankers, who would charge at every
turn for converting cheap money into good,
and most of II would be so converted. II
that change should suddenly take place, all
who had contracted debts would gain tho 10
per cent, because money would be worth 10
per cent less than when the debt was con-
traeted, but the creditor would lose 10 per

According to these figures, which en-
body the findings of our bureau of sta
tistics, of eminent foreign statisticians
and of commercial and labor reports, it
appears that the wages of skilled work
men are substantially 100 per cent
higher in protectionist America than in
free trade England. What is more,
wages have increased far more rapidly
for the past twenty years here than they
have in Great Britain. In fact British
authorities insist that in some of their
industries there has been an actual de-
cline in the remuneration of the workers.
There is one way, and one way only, in
which American wages can be maintained
at their present high level, and that is
by a strict adherence to the policy laid
down in the Republican platform OF
levying on all competitive imports ''du.
ties equal to the difference between
wages abroad and at home"
1t will be observed that some of these
occupations belong to industries which
free traders describe as mon protected. =

BEATTy's PIANOS AND ORGANS.

Hon. Daniel f. Beatty, the great
Organ and Piano man of Washing
ton, N. j., is buster than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pcnni-
less pillow boy, and by his indomita-
bic will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far nearly 100000 of
Beatty's Pianos and Organs since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles LAID in his way, that
would have wrecked any ordinary
man forever, he turns to an adver-
tisement and comes out of it brighter
than ever. His instruments are in
use everywhere. We are informed
that during the next ten years he in.
tends to sell 100000 more of his
make; that means a business of $780,
100000 if we average them at 500
each. 1t is already the largest BUSH
ness of its kind in existence. Read
his advertisement.
