Washington Correspondence.
Congress is wearing out the slow days
on the great omnibus appropriation bill
the gigaatic collection of robberies, injus-
tices and Smons trositles that brushes in
the shoulders of the republic. 1t is little
use to follow the multiple items-the bar
racks outrage was a far sample.
The NATIONAL ECONOMIST
Has been removed from its position as
national oxgan of the F. A. & /. u, by
the unanimous action of the Exec. Com.
Its present manager, Kinney, is in full
interest with the democratic national COM
mittee, met With dems at Carlisle's rooms
recent, and is in other relations remov-
ed fropiA Alliancc aftlliation.
B1-METALL1c LEAGUE.
The N-meta lie League has just closed
a successful Convention in Washington.
The most remarkable occurrences there
were the speeches OF Senator Stewart and
the repres, natives from Colorado, aud
the silver states.
Srewar,' ) address was powerful, mid
dle-oi -the-road, populist denunciatlon OF
the two Old parties. 1t was the unan-
imous conviction of all the speakers dur
ing three days Of oratory that the parties
were re-algnng, by the Cleveland pro-
cess, on ,lr Wall Street lne-and that 1t
would be Gold vs. the People four years
hence.
The SPLIT UP THE BACK.
The division Of the two old parties on
the Wall Street line continues, and keeps
up startling gait. Republican anger At
Harrison's appointments OF the rankest
democrat in Tennessee to the supreme
bench for life had no sooner cooled than
up comes the appointment of republican,
poptilist Gresham to the Gold-bug cab
met Now, just ns that storm subsidies.
and the strong partisans begin to catch
new hold, along comes rational chairman
Harrity, of the Gold-bug Combine. Mr..
Harrity, in behalf Of Carlisle-C Cleveland
Harrison Foster Rothschild, writes let
ter to the democratic congressman. Like
the passy-cat claw it is clothed in silky
fur-but within it was enfolded the dog
sondsst blacksnake ever coiled as party
whip. The meat Of the thing was to
knovsif she recipient would stand by the
Goldbngs. 1t brewed a storm. Senator
Harris, Tennessee, said congress would
vote its sentiment regardless OF what
Harrlty may say or do" Sen. Pugh,
Alabama, declared, in connection with
the letter, and the party whip. that Her
bert, Of Alabama, was put in the cabinet
simply because he voted against silver in
opposition to 95 per cent Of his constit-
uents! Now listen to this from Pugh,
lye Cleveland reforms" If it is Mr..
Cleveland's purpose in making his cab
.net against 90 per cent of his party to
disrupt or muster it into the service OF
the money kings he is doomed to the mos,
signal failure!'
Bland, Missouri. said. 1T is piece OF
impudence, to say the least. Every mem
Der who has the least spark of manhood
will tell that committee that it is none ol
their business.
Hatch, ofMo., spoke as strongly. Pierce,
Tennessee, thought 1t an infamous
outrage. "Cleveland holds the patron
age-the people hold the ballots" Will
son. Of w. Virginia said IN effect, 1t is
none Of the national committees business.
/ Abbott, Texas, says. 1T is an imperti-
nence." H.....:. ..... .s.f ...
Thus the new line is formed, and the
great goldbug party crystalizes into form,
for against these sentiments were fully as
many who defended the use of Cleveland
blacksnake in the hand of Harritf.
/ FINANCIAL.
| The gold market was quieted down for
Il time by the New York banks, but ex-
citement is surely rising again. We state
positively that gold is now being accum-
ulated with intense activity by Europe.
a nd every bank in the United States is
fishing for it. If you have, gold keep it
and make the single-standard fellows
sweat under the coming crisis. Prepare
for it if you can. for this Bureau is clear
ly informed of dangers known at this day
on Wall Street. and which threaten the
continuance of the gold-bug domination.
Gentlemen. goLo your bank and exchange
your securities for gold! Try it! Let
ten try it in succession!
And then sneer at their single-standard
insolvency.
