Some prodigiously large volumes have
been printed at the government print
ing Office in wonderfully short time
Forinstance, the Revised Statutes, which
constitute a volume of l,O39 closely
printed pages, Were set up, proof read
three times, printed and delivered in
bound form to tile house of representa-
tives between 5 o'clock, p. M, on a
Wednesday and 19 o'clock, noon, on the
following Saturday-an interval of only
81 hours Perhaps the greatest work of
printing ever undertaken anywhere was
the publication of 10000 copies of the
records Of the war of the rebellion in 100
royal octave volumes of 800 pages each
at total cost Of 81, 26o, 900 for printing
and binding.
This single publication will REQUIRE
over 5000 printers reams of white pa
per to print it, and the composition will
probably exceed 100000, 900, 900 ems.
There will be when the work is finished
not less than 100000 actual books of
500 pages each. These figures dwarf
those OF the largest encyclopedia ever
published in any country or in any Ian
guage. Washington Star.

He's ALI Right.

Some ofour exchanges several months
ago, worried considerably to find out
whether Congressman F. j. Hudson
was democrat or a republican. No
matter what he calls himself, boys, or
what others call him; he is for the West,
Kansas, and the people. Here are his
own words for it:
"FREDoNJA, KAN, June 5th, 1S93.-
A. NJ. Dolph, President Board of Trade.
Cincinnati, o. My Dear Sir: Your
circular letter, under date of June Sd,
just received, and in answer to your in
qulries as to my view of the financial
condition of the country, | concur in
the suggestion made by you in the Sec
ond paragraph of your letter, in which
you say the financial situation is forced
and unnatural But l do not agree
With that portion of the paragraph
which ascribes the trouble to silver. or
to the silver question. On the contra
ry, | believe tla: TIE whole trouble, so
far as the financial question is concern
ed has been brought about by the ad-
vocates of a-'gold Standard The nat
ural resoGrGas and the general develop
ment and condition Of the country are
better to-day than at any time in the
history of the United States. And al
this clamor which has produced feel
ing of unrest Ia the country, has been
brought about entirely by the advocates
of single standard. Their pretended
alarm at the idea az the government
paying out silver and adopting free
coinage of silver law, is a sham and
sheer hypocracy. They knew, as well
as you and l know. that the paper of
this government and its silver dollars
are absolutely reliable. and that there
is no excuse for pretending they are
afraid tb2t they will not be redeemed
or cared for to the satisfaction of the
people of the United States. The &C.
ton of the single standard advocates
and the heavy -moneyed institutions of
the country thai are supporting those
advocates in attempting TO create a
financial disturbance at this time, is
solely for the purpose of compelling he
people of The United States to submit
to their dictation in financial matters.
Unquestionably, the adoption Of . gold

1t is confidently claimed by the gold
men that the Sherman law will be de.
feated in September, and nothing put
in its place. Voorhees, and Vest have
been converted toWallStreets interests.
This gives them majority of the SEN
ate committee on coins and coinage.
In opposition to this policy, Morgan of
Alabama, will lead in the senate,
Bland of Missouri, in the house. 1t
now looks as if the democratic party
were ready to relinquish the last prln-
ciple of Jefferson, Jackson and all its
noble line of statesmen in days when
it won victories and turn itself over to
the service of the enemies of the great
toiling masses. and make the name OF
liberty farce. But if they do, they
had better count on a Waterloo for '96.
and themselves on the French side of
the Waterloo.
