Casting Pearls Before Swine.

After devoting hours of patient
labor and whole quires of paper to tell
ing why the bullion value of silver
dollar is not worth dollar, and the
great financial rape that made it so
to be rewarded for our efforts by some
contemporary, supposed to have been
listening to our arguments, asking us
why the bullion value of gold dollar
is worth dollar all over the world and
the bullion value of silver one is not,
with the innocence of an Esquimau
graphing an entirely new subject, and
then to behold whole string of little
newspapers, who imagine it to be
their duty to follow the bell-wether
organ or be counted disloyal, eagerly
taking up the question and throwing
it back at us as fit was capper.
Then, think you, gentle reader, that
the lines of the reformers fall in
pleasant places?

The stampede to Hill was too 'uaan-
imoasn-his call to duty as the leader
of the democratic party too ''sponta-
ncous' to suit the political mugwumrs,
old prudes and prunes and Aunt Nam
cys in New York, and a new ticket
with Charles S. Fairchild, Cleveland's
former secretary of the treasury, at Its
head, is talked of. Cleveland hates
Hill worse than Satan hates holiness
and may be at the bottom of the
movement. But whether he is or not,
as our modern David is anointed with
the righteousness of pure democracy
and the sings of truth, these fiipperz
fioppers, these carping Pharisees, will
be no more in his hands than whIsps
of straw. Even if they were real po-
litieal Goliahs David would slay them
fore and aft and rout them hip and
thigh

A seben 'Leben Chile. .

There is O superstition among the
negroes who play scraps" that ''sev-
en-" and eleven are both lucky
numbers and if in playing the game
one Of the numbers should follow the
other, all quit the game. They think
the dice have been .hoo-dooed.u
The negroes in South Carolina think
Ben Tillman is ''hoo-doon and born
to luck. They think so because he is
the eleventh child of father who
himself was the seventh child of his
father. A reporter of the Atlanta
Constitution was sent to Columbia to
write up South Carolina affairs and
the first person he struck was an "Un-
Gle Sambo,n noted character of We
olden times, who was brought over in
a slave ship and is pure blooded AT
rican. This is the way he talked to
the reporter:

Senator Voorhees, has made great
speech which has given much encour-
agement to the advocates of free sill
yer coinage. Mr.. Voorhees, is chair
man of the finance committee of the
senate, and it will be in his power at
an early day in December next to
have reported a free silver bill, which,
on square vote, will pass the senate.
With the powerful aid of the speaker
of the lower house, now making a
campaign for free silver in his state
and congressional district, there is no
reason why, before the Christmas hol-
idays, Mr.. Cleveland may not have the
chance to sign or veto such bill.

Plenty the. Cause Of Poverty

AS paradoxical as it may seem the
Cleveland Citizen argues this great in
dustrial question in this way. Previ-
Gus to the last forty years, it says, and
before the immense development OF
machinery had taken place, the peo-
pie suffered from hunger because they
could not produce enough commodo-
ties to satisfy their wants. To-day the
people are hungry and naked, not be-
cause they do not produce enough
commodities to satisfy their hunger
and clothe their nakedness, but be-
cause they produce too mnch. The
pestilence and ruin of the crops have
caused famines in other times, but to-
day the very instruments intended to
increase production, and thereby sat
isfy human wants, have thrown mil
lions of men out of employment to be-
come tramps or beggars, and made
panics and famines through over-pro-
duction. In fact, the cause of the
present and previous panics is that the
workingman produce three times as
much wealth as they receive, and
therefore they cannot buy back what
they produce.
1t is impossible to prevent panics as
long as the consuming power of the
people is less than their producing
power; for If the producing power is
greater than the consuming power,
commodities will be piled up and the
market glutted with goods that the
people cannot consume, because they
havn't The power to secure them.
When such time comes, factories
and workshops must close, although
many thousands may be in need of
the goods and be willing to produce
other commodities ia exchange for
them. Those who are looking for other
causes than the difference between the
workman's producing and consuming
power to account for the panic are
making grave mistake.

Ex-senator Warren's ranch in Wy

miles; is six times bigger than Rhode

ware. 1t is stocked with 1900 horses;
$4,000 cattle and 10000 sheep. If
many of our milfionaires take up

way of competition, freight rates, etc.,

Gen. Sam Houstoun's daughter in a
letter to the New York World says
that in the new Liberty Bell primer
page 81, occurs the following refer
ence TO her father:
HE resisted secession from its inception,
and it is interesting incident in his life and in
the history of his country, that of his riding
close beside the carriage in which sat Lincoln
and Buchanan on the day of the inauguration of
the former, guarding the president-elect from
the possibility of assassination, which was even
then threatened and was afterwards consumma-
ted. The picture of this stalwart old man,
nearly three score and ten armed and watchtul
guarding the person OF Abraham Lincoln, is one
that deserves &c be perpetuated i'll American his
tory"
The daughter says it is true her faith
er resisted secession" from its IN
ception, but instead of General Hous-
ton guarding Mr.. Lincoln the reverse
of this was true, as her father had to
be protected. Mr.. Lincoln sent a
message to Gen. Houston, then govern
or of Texas, not to resign his Office,
and offering as many men as might be
required to keep Texas in the Union.
General Houston could not stop the
secession tide and voluntarily left
Texas and went into retirement.
Like Governor Call, Of this state, and
many others in the south, the move
ment left him crushed and broken
hearted man.

Enquirer.
a Deluge Of Gold.

Reports come to as from all quar-
tiers of the globe of unusual discoy-
cries Of gold. In South Africa SAL
100000 worth of gold has been added
to the worlds stock in the last year.
Remarkable discoveries of gold have
recently been made in New Mexico.
Recently very rich mines have been
opened in Venezuela. The yield has
been largely increased in California
and in Colorado. In far-off Alaska
mines of gold of surprising richness
are beginning to be developed. North
and South Carolina, Georgia and
other Southern States are supposed to
be rich in gold. The yield of gold the
past year is estimated at SIZE, 900, 900.
The probability is that Africa will
prove to be the richest gold field on
this planet. If these developments
shall continue to increase and null
tiply, gold will become a deprecated
coin, and the worlds creditors de-
mand an enlargement of the gold
dollar!

Machinery, considered alone, short
ems the hours of labor, but when in
the service of capital lengthens them !;
in itself, it lightens the labor, but, en-
ployed by capital, heightens the iu-
tensity of labor; in itself, it is a victor
of man over the forces of nature; but
in the hands of capital makes a man
the slave of those forces; in itself it
increases the wealth of producers, but
in the hands of capital makes them
pauyers.--Karl Marx.

in like manner raise funds for the
building of canning, marmalade and
