THE free-silver sentiment has been
exaggerated. The cotton growers Of the
South who have to sell their product in
Liverpool do not wish to sell for silver
and buy with gold. They prefer stable
coin, not one that huctuates in value
from day to day here, and which is an
outcast In all other parts Of the world.
They are not In any conspiracy" for or
against silver; they wish correct
standard Of value--a yard stick that Is
thirty-six honest inches long, al weight
that Is sixteen ounces heavy.

saying that the parsons do not tell the

It cannot be the peoples fault because
they will hear any man, no matter how
little he may have TO say, If he will but

the attention Of the best and ablest Of

cannot be compelled to hear, then they
must be persuaded; for, to induce them
to hear is the preachers business and his
duty. They will go to hear quick

AFTER spending many million
pounds sterling in the construction
OF monster cannon and enormous war
vessels, England is now told by ,e-
cipient of some OF the millions that
great mistake has been made. Lord
Armstrong, whose firm built the ILL.,
fated Victoria, says "the arguments
against building immense ironclads
are unassailable. The same conclu-
sion was reached by the British Ad-
miralty some time ago, and no more
unwieldy warships will be built for
the British navy. 1t is fortunate
that no such mistake was made in
the construction of our new navy.
We have no war vessels Of the larger
type, as compared with the navies of
England, France, and Italy. They
are of about the type that practical
experience has discovered to be the
best for effective service.

LORD ARMSTRONG, the great En-
glish shipbuilder, who built the Vic
toria, enforced the lessons taught by
the disaster to that vessel at the an
nual meeting of his concern. He
contended that the arguments against
building immense ironclads were un-
assailable. The same arguments, he
said, held as good, however, against
gigantic battleships. The strength
and stability Of the Camperdown's
Prov ram were quite insufficient to
enable her to deliver an effective
blow without peril to herself. The
same defect probably existed in the
other rams. The life of battleship
was far too valuable to be staked on
The use OF her ram. Besides, a big
battleship was too unwieldy to give
