was, in fact, the autocrat Of the finances.
He engaged in a great number of mercan-
Tile enterprises on account of the govern
ment, buying and selling goods here and
IN other countries, and using the proceeds
in the public service. Congress had de
clared that the obligations of the govern
ment should be paid in specie or It's equi-
Nalent, but the government had no specie
and no visible means of procuring it. II
Is true that considerable specie, or hard
money, as il was then called, had been
brought in the country and disbursed by
the British and French armies, but it had
not reached the treasury. The worthless
paper currency was now rapidly disap-
pearlng. In Il short time the people began
to realize the benefits of that inhexlble
law OF trade and finance under which
sound money in sufficient quantities to
transact the business of the country win
always make its appearance to take the
place of unsound money, If the latter can
be got out of circulation. 1t was not long
until specie was circulating in all the
channels of trade and from that time to
the close of the revolutionary war all the
business of the government was conducted
upon a specie basis"
In conclusion Secretary Carlisle said:
at may be that hereafter, somewhere in
this broad land of ours, for which they
sacrificed so much to make free and pros
porous, there will be gathered beneath the
dome of an American pantheon the re-
mains of all our honored dead, and II so
the obscure grave at Philadelphia will
give up its tenant. and the mausoleum Of
Robert Morris will become a consecrated
shrine, where generations of freemen will
uncover their heads to honor his memory
as long as the republic endures."
AT the conclusion of Secretary Carlisles S
address the chorus sang America" and
Rev. Phil o. Cook of Buffalo delivered
the closing prayer and benediction.

The Old Holland Land Company's office

that time the business had been transacted
in q smaller building, but it's growth ne

present building was erected. 1t has a
frontage of about forty-six feet, with a
depth of thirty-hve feet, and is two
stories in hight. 1t is built of stone, in a
most substantial manner and stands to-
day practically the same as 1t did fifty
eight years ago, when first erected and

BREoKINR1DeE's BANNER.
The Colonel Makes a Characteristic
Speech in Presenting It.

Lexington. Ky, oct 13.-Col. Breckin-
ridge to-day delivered one of the most re-
markable addresses Of his career. The
occasion was unique in that he, a de-
feated candidate, had been invited to
present in behalf of the Breckenridge or
ganization, a banner to the precinct
which gave him the largest proportionate
vote of any in the district. This pre-
cinct was Harper's Ferry. in Henry
county. OF the l79 votes cast Col. Breck-
inridse got l39 In presenting the ban
ner the colonel took occasion to drag open
in his skilful manner all the old wounds
of the campaign and to refer to nearly
everything that was done against his
candidacy. From a literary standpoint,
it is one Of the most perfect speeches he
ever made. Already thousands OF Col.
Breckinridges supporters have signided
their intention of voting for Judge
George Denny, the republican nominee,
and to-day's speech will have tendency
to drive many strong Breckenridge men
to Denny's support.
The closing sentences OF the speech
breath the spirit of the man, as well as
his supporters. They are as follows: Il
know not what the future has in store for
me. nor am 1 disquieted thereby. There
is work somewhere, and II will come to
me at the proper time as He sees ht.
carry into it the fruitful influence that
your friendship creates to be worthy of
your confidence, to Justify your friend
ship, and you need no promise that / will
so live Hereafter, If there be some ship
wrecked brother cropping from darkness
TO day, trying to pull himself together for
another and purer career, yearning to
do better work for man and God may
be told in the simplest language the story
of your friendship for me and take heart
that he will find true men and real women
who are full brothers and sisters to him
when touched with the sense Of our in
hrmities. You have been derlded as the
only county that could be controlled by
such motives. Fnyette and Bourbon ask
counties hasten to share any condemna-
tion you may receive. and in their name
l present this banner, bearing the effigy
of defeated man, upon
whose head has beaten
a pitiless storm, and bid you receive 1t
as evidence that they applaud your act,
and in the light of the world, avouch that
it was such an act as all democrats could
approve, all brave men applaud. all gem
erous men praise, all Christian men emu
late. They bid you keep II until the day
comes to unfurl it-for they know
that that day will come; the day of bet
ter and purer political methods; of kinder
and more charitable brotherhood; of
frank and more truthful utterance; of
courteous and respectful discussion, when
mendacty will not assume the role of no.
| litical argument, nor hypocrisy be ac-
| cepted as Christianity"

Theory of tho Cause of the Agitation.
PRoutntrtoN PARK, S, l., Oct. 7.-Rev.
DR.. McGlynn spoke before $500 people
in the Auditorium here to-day. His
subject was: "Tho A. P. A., Its Causes
and Cure"
DR.. McGlynn said he believed that
Catholics themselves were in degree
responsible for tho existence OF the
A. P. A., pointing to the tendency OF
many Catholic priests. particularly
those Of foreign birth, to discuss some
public questions with religious prcju'
dice, as one OF the causes.
When DR.. McGlynn concluded, Al
fred n. Martin, who announced him
self as the national deputy of the Amer.
ican Patriotic League, ascended the
platform and said very excitedly: "Dr.
McGlvnn is all wrong. Tho principles
and teachings OF tho Catholic church
are diametrically opposed to overy
American industry"
The speaker got no further, for his
voice was drowned by storm Of Kisses,
DR.. McGlynn again took tho platform
and rebukad the Catholics for Kissing,

which intensified tho feeling aroused by

TIN PLATE SITUATION.

Both Sides Playing Waiting Game.
Effect of the Tnrirr BILL.
PrrrsBuRGH, Pa, October 7.-secre-
tary Jarrett, Of the Sheet and Tin Plate
Manufacturers Associations, is taking
it tolerabIy easy these days. Tho stop
page OF all but one or two OF the union
tin plate mills in the oountry makes the
tin plate end of his duties light Ac-
cording to Mr.. jarrett the tin plate
manufacturers arc determined not to
operate their mills under the scale for
mulated by the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, and will insist on the entire reduc-
ton that the workmen refused to ac-
cept.
At present q waiting game is being
played by both sides. No other is pos.
sjble for "a while the Amalgamated
mon, by vote taken by all the lodges,
have refused to accept any reduction,
and by giving no instructions have
practically refused to hold another con.
ference. The workmen say they will
wait until tho mill owners resume op-
erations.
The manufacturers still adhere to
their claim that tho new tariff causes a
loss to them OF $50 ton, and that the
reductions asked will only affect tho
skilled workmen. Fonr dollars is al-
legged to be the total amount per ton
that will be lost by the workmen
through tho reduction; the remaining
S16, the mill owners soy, they arc will
ing to lose themselves.
No trouble exists between manuiac'
turers and men in tho sheet industry.
The former will hold their regular
monthly meeting in this city next week.
