How could free silver coinage accom-
plish this? it is asked.
Take Colorado, for example. Suppos-
inc its people owe Sl0,000,OO0 to non-res-
ident creditors. Silver bullion is the
great product of the State. To-day its
inhabitants could devote 81, 900, 900 worth
of silver bullion to liquidate their debts,
and still owe S3,000,00O But under a
free coinage act they would have this
amount of bullion coined, pay off the
$4,000, ,00U Indebtedness and have money
left. In other words more than $500
600 would be legslated out of the pock-
cts of debtors. 1t would be wicked
proceeding, put it would be legal.
Honest public sentiment, wherever
expressed is quite certain to be against
any such fragrant wrong.
1t is truly deplorable that so many are
in favor of it.-Troy Press, lizard money

"a TRULY AMERICAN JOURNAL.
The Tribune announces that by actual
count the bona-tide circulation of The
New York Weekly Tribune, all paid-up
subscriptions for one year, was on Jan
uary 10th last 600 copies per week"
That is very great circulation, and
The Tribune is justified in publishing
the amount as an interesting piece of in
formation. 1t is not necessary for our
neighbor to make affidavit to the fact
Its simple statement is enough. If the
word of newspaper as to such a matter
is not entitled to belief, its oath also Is
worthless and carries no weight with the
public. The mere circumst lnce that the
Publisher of newspaper feels it requisite
20 have some of his serVonts- w cor to tho
truth of his statements of its circulation,
is confession that the paper has the rep
utatiOn of lying; and everybody knows it
is as easy to lie under oath as to lie with
out an oath. A man who can't get pee
pie to believe his word, has the same
difficulty in getting them to believe his
oath.
The Tribune is square Republican
paper and it owes its great success TO
that fact. Never before in its history,
according to the general impression In
the newspaper world, was it more pros
porous than it is at the present tiMc.
The people know where to find it, and If
they want straight out Republican doc
trine they go to its pages. 1t is not
ashamed of the faith that is in it. 1t il
not pharisaical, and it is without trace OF
the humbug of Mugwumpery. Most OF
its political principles are Objectionable
to us, but we honor the courage with
which it defends them, and, most of all,
we applaud its distinctively American
tone and character. 1t docs not initiate
the Mugwump journals in taking brief
from England and arguing against the
American side in all international queS-
tions. The Tribune is an American
paper, edited by an American in the
American spirit. 1t does not blush for
its flag. 1t does not present snobbish
foreign adventurer's hatred of the in
stitutions and social conditions undei
which he has thriven, but expresses the
true American pride of country, now
stronger and deeper among this people
than ever before in the history of the re-
public.
The Tribune is politically out of sym
pathy with the great mass of the citizens
of New York and its neighborhood. 1t
is the'leading organ of a party which is
now more in a minority than it has beell
at any time before during generation
past; but it's truly American spirit com
mands the respect of all parties There
in it is thoroughly in sympathy with the
public, and at this period that character
istic serves to give it distinction in New
York.
Hence we rejoice to know of the pro-.
perity of The Tribune, and we are not ut
all surprised by it.-New York Sun.

ed. A new building on the old site was
completed, however, in December, 1858.
at cost of S125,0O0. On August 14th,
1879, the building was again destroyed
by fire, but was promptly rebuilt at n
cost of more than S23O,000, and reopened
on October 18th, 1890.

A motion to reopen the silver con
ference has been defeated by a heavy
majority in the British House of Com
mons. Sir Henry Thompson, a Libel ii
Unionist, made it, and Mr.. Gosehen, the
late chancellor of the exchequer,, favoced
it, because in his view the silver question
is one that needs further discussion AMI
consideration. But Mr.. Gladstone came
down on the project strongly, denounc-
ing bimetalism and declaring that for
England to accept it would be TO maisc
the rest of the world present of $780,
600 00O0-exchange. 1t will be noted
that the British government is not
friendly to Americans and yet Americas
sustain Gladstone in his Home RnlJ
measure for Ireland.
