Colonel F~airbrother and His Paper.


To the Editor of the Durham Sun:
In these days of verse and hearse, and
some things worse-of tears and fears
and b~eers-these uncertain days when
Right and Wrong becomes Gladiators
more fierce than eyer-each painting and
putting for Place and Pie, | know that
every American citizen must have some
great man to worry over and talk about
and it seems that just here | am the vic
tim. Ireally regret that am so ALFRED
great.
But anyhow, to stop all idle talk and
check all wild, weird prophecies, [ de-
sire, through the columns Of the Sun, 20
state to my many friends that develop
ments, (of which later on l shall fully
speak, caused me to return to this part
of the country to again engage actively
in business. | shall start in L%ynchburg,
Va, as soon as possible, material being
now ordered, a ram up and jam up, rip
snorting, tickle, festive album Of song
household guide and advertisers delight
which will make hair grow in happiness
on bald heads where there is too little
hair and remove superfluous hair WI ere
is too much of it.. 1t will be a daily ana
a weekly-a spendid thing to pat under
carpets and on the cupboard shelves.
Whilst some are painting for informa-
ton concerning the name of the expected
waif, that curiosity cannot be gratiied
until tie child is born-it might be of
different sex than is fond'y hoped and
then hades would be to pay. knowing
that this official statement of my inten-
tions has caused relief, assuring all my
many friends in Durham that | hope to
remain on earth ard keep my Yam Farm
running, and thanking Colonel Robinson
for this Intrusion, as becomes q modest
American citizen, I subscribe myself
Respectfully,
AL FA~IRBROTHER.

IN A TIGHT PLACE.

II the report is true that Admiral
Benham has taken Admiral da CANA
prisoner, the courage of this American
admiral will be applauded in all parts of
the country. 1t is not that so much cour-
age was needed to face this Brazilian
feet, but that so bold step should De
taken without orders from Washington.
The belief is quite general that British
sympathies are with the insurgents, and
there has been as yet no indication of a
desire on Mr.. Cleveland's part to antag-
onize British policies. The right OF
wrong OF the action of Admiral Benham
cannot be determined until we have a
better understanding of the conditions
under which he acted. While the right of
revolution cannot be called in question,
Tevolutionists who fail to secure recogni-
tion as be!ligerents within a reasonable
time are required to be more consid crate
of the rights of neutrals than in cases of
recognized warfare. But the American
people will give Benham the benefit of a
doubt II he is not clearly wrong it will
be held that he Is right. The fact that
British sympathies may be somewhat
rufied by this action of the American ad-
miral will not hurt his standing with the
American people outside OF administration
circles,

English mills in motion. The purchaser
always exercises an influence over the seller
if he chooses to assert himself. Sellers are
many. purchasers comparatively few. The
latter, therefore. if they should combine
might bring the former to any reasonable
terms they might demand. A combination
of bimetallic and silver nations for the
avowed purpose or making silver coin of
such weight and fneness as might be
agreed upon interchangeable among men,
bers OF the union, and a legal tender for
all debts due from individuals of one state
to individuals of any other state, would
concentrate trade among themselves.
These nations produce all the essential
articles of commerce, while not one of the
so-called gold nations produces an article
that may not be produced elsewhere. What
do England. Germany. Portugal. Egypt
and the smaller European nations that ac-
cept their financial policy from England
supply the world with shat may not be
duplicated by France. Italy. Austria, the
United States and other countries that
use silver solely OF IN conjunction with
gold. What tire United States now needs
is statesman who is not harDessed TO the
English financial policy.

THE REDEMPTION ACT,

A correspondent asks upon what ground
the contention is made that the Secretary
of the Treasury has not the right to issue
bonds that was granted by the resumption
act, passed January IA, 1875. The conten-
ton is based on the act of May 81. 1878,
providing for the reissue of greenbacks.
The act of 1875 provided for the redemp-
tion of greenhacks until the amount out
standing should be reduced to $780, 0OO, ,OO0
After the first of January, 1879. il was
provided that the remaining $500, 900. 600
should be redeemed in coin on presenta-
ton. To do this the Secretary was author
lied to issue bonds of either description
mentioned in the act authorizing the re-
funding of the national debt But in May.
1873, before the redemption act came into
force. Congress ordered that the amount
then outstanding. about S346. 0O0, OOO
should be kept in circulation. 1t is held
that as the treasury is required to reissue
greenbacks as fast as they are redeemed.
she law auth oriZing bonds 10 redeem them
with becomes unnecessary and falls, as
Mr.. Cleveland might say, into "innocuous
desuetude." The Secretary now redeems
greenbacks with one hand and pays them
out with the other. II. therefore, he sells
bonds TO get money to redeem greenbacks
with and does not redeem the amount out
standing he thereby increases the public
debt. The bonded indebtedness is in
creased by the amount of the bonds issued
and the misunderstanding debt is de-
creased not at all. 1t is nevertheless true
| that the credit of the Government requires
that the treasury shall redeem ali green
backs that may be presented. While the
proceeds of this proposed bond issue may
not be used for the exact purpose Congress
| had in view when the issue was author
lied, yet the substance of the purpose,
which was to furnish the treasury with
money with which to redeem all the green
backs that might be offered, is the same.
The notable departure of the present Sec
retary from the policy marked out by
| Congress in 1875 is in the redemption of
greenbacks in gold instead of in coin, as
| the act provided
