A Wrong That Perpetuates Itself.

Does it ever occur to the Senators
and Representatives in Congressional
is, to those who talk most glibly and
most ceaselessly of their devotion to
the silver dollar-that the silver issue
to-day is not what it was last year, or
90 years ago? If these gentlemen
would stop occasionally and review
their own words there might possibly
come to them some recognition OF the
radical change in their position on
great economic question.-Republic.
If the position of the Republic is cor
rect, there has never been a time since
its demonstration that silver could
have been rehabilitated without
changing the ratio. The REGISTER
fails to perceive how the silver issue
has been changed. or the position of
our Senators and Representatives been
altered. PROFESSIONALLY, the purchas-
ing power of gold has been rapidly
enhanced since silver has been dis
carded. The advocates of the gold
standard, by fraud and perhaps by
bribery, also, struck silver as a money
of final account from our currency.
The consequences so often pointed out
by the advocates of bimetalism began
at once to accumulate until the dollar
of the banker was doubled in purchas-
ing power, and the farmers bushel of
wheat was cut half in two. The last
twenty-five cents has been added to the
bankers dollar under the present So
called Democratic administration. at
the personal solicitation of Mr.. Cleve-
land, and like amount subtracted
from the farmers bushel of wheat
through the same instrumentality.
Senators Vest and Cockrell, aud the
Democrats from this State in the House
of Representatives, think that this is
wrong and dishonest, and that it should
not be tolerated. Those who repre-
sent the other side make no attempt to
dispute the facts our congressman pre-
sent, or disprove the arguments they
offer. The banking and bondholding
class deprecate all argument; they
would entirely suppress discussion. if
they could. They are as well aware
as anyone else that as contemplate a
piece of sneak-thievery has been per-
petrated upon the producing classes of
this country as ever disgraced the an
nails of crime; but they are the bene-

A Naval Engagement.

Wednesday, February 9th, was the
thirty-third anniversary of the first
heavy blow struck in the civil war at
the extensive system of river fortifca-
tions constructed by the Confederates
along the Mississippi and its continents.
On Feb. 6, 1862, Capt. Andrew Hull
FOote with the gunboats Cincinnati,
Essex, Carondelet, De Kalb, Conesto-
ga, Lexington. and Tyler, made an at
tack on Fort Henry on the Tennessee
River. This was an earthwork erect
ed at difficult bend in the stream,
mounting twenty-one heavy guns and
garrisoned by 2,55S men under Brig
Gen. Lloyd Tilghman. At the time of
the attack the river was at an unusual
height. owing to heavy rains, and it
required full head of steam and both
anchors to keep some of the gunboats
in position, while large quantities of
logs came down, keeping the crews at
work night and day to prevent them
from accommodating around the vessels.
At 1880 A. NJ. the Carondelet and the
De Kalb being dashed together and
forming the left wing. and the Cincin-
natl with the Essex forming the right,
opened fire from the twelve guns that
bore on the enemy. The other three
vessels, not being iron clads. formed in
the rear of this line. The Confeder-
ates responded promptly and, having
long before obtained the exact range
OF the position which vessels approach
ing must take, at first fred with great
accuracy, but as the Union gunboats
drew nearer and began to deliver their
fire with precision, the enemy was
thrown into some confusion. About
1 p. NJ. shot pierced the Essex's mid
die boiler, and in an instant the vessel
was filed with steam, by which twenty
eight men were scalded. Commander
Porter himself narrowly escaping with
his life. James Coffey. the shellman
of gun No. 2, was in the act of taking
she'll from the box when the steam
struck him full in the face. killing him
Instantly. The two pilots were found.
after the battle. dead in the pilot house,
one of them with his left hand holding
a spoke of the wheel, while his right
hand gasped the signal-bell rope. AL
though the Essex drifted out of action,
the other gunboats continued the fight,
and at 1:4O P. NJ. the Coufederates sur
rendered. and a detachment of seamen
under Commander Wake took posses
sion of the fort. As the Essex was
out OF action one of the scald
seamen, Jasper L. Breas. heard the
shouts OF victory. "Surrendered!" he
exclaimed. Il must see that with my
own eyes before de-" and going up
two short flights of stairs to the spar
deck, he shouted, "Glory to God" and |

ficiaries of it, and do not propose to
give up one dollar of the money they
have dishonesty obtained, nor do they
propose to allow the means by which
it was secured to be taken away from
them, if the expenditure of money can
prevent it. 1t was to this end that a
controlling interest in the stock of the
Republic was procured. and that paper
changed from Democratic to a Tory
organ. 1t is to this end that the me-
tropolitan press throughout the coun-
try is being controlled in he same
way.
The wisdom of Solomon or an owl
is nothing to the wisdom of the extract
above quoted. 1t reminds us of the
position occupied by a grain dealer
who for years had been measuring the
wheat he received in a measure that
held something near a bushel and a
half, while he only paid for bushel.
One day farmer came to the conclu-
sion he would have this dealers BUSH
ell tested; he succeeded in doing so,
despite the frantic protest of its owner.
1t was found that he had been receiv-
ing only the price of bushel when he
should have received the price of a
bushel and half; further investiga-
ton showed that when the merchant
sold grain be used bushel that held
about three pecks. When the grain
dealer found that his methods were
discovered, he stoutly maintained that
he ought not to be compelled to change
his measures, for he had contracted
obligations on that basis, and it would
be doing him great injustice TO
change the standard of his measure
from higher to lower bushel. In
fact, he claimed that it would place
him upon the verge of financial ruin,
and any restoration of the property he
had taken by means of his false meas
ure would be Anarchy. In fact he oc-
cupied. in regard to his wheat trans
actions, the precise position that the
Republic occupies in regard to silver.
We sorrowfully admit that 1.-THE silver
question of to-day is not what is was
20 years ago." Then demonstration
was fraudulently and secretly accom-
plished; to-day the thieves who profit
by the fraud boldly proclaim their
purpose to continue the robbery.
Then, under the cover of night, they
broke into the premises; now they
claim the right to enjoy the stolen
goods without molestation. AS to the
people who suffer by the iniquity, &C
cording to papers of the Republic's ilk,
they are entitled to no consideration
whatever.
As yet there is no law against a
great metropolitan journal making an
ass of itself, if it feels inclined so to
do; but who can tell what our Repub-
lican legislature will do?

THE recommendations contained in
the Presidents recent message are not
little startling. if anything emanating
from that source could surprise any
body. 1t is proposed to give the Sec
rotary of the Treasury the privilege of
issuing bonds at discretion, the amount
to which he shall be limited not being
stated. 1t is proposed to make these
bonds bear three per cent interest, and
that they shall run fifty years. 1t is
conceded that it will take at least five
hundred millions of them to accomplish
all the objects desired-probably many
millions more. 1t is proposed that
these bonds shall be the basis of the
circulation for our national banks, and
that they shall be allowed to issue
their notes to the full amount of the
bonds they deposit. 1t is proposed to
retire the entire greenback circulation,
as we'll as the coin certificates. These
propositions, it will be seen, really aim
at making our national banks the sole
source through which money shall be
issued. In other words. a man who pos
sesses hundred thousand dollars in
bonds deposits them. draws three thou
sand dollars a year in interest. and gets
the use of hundred thousand dollars
in money to run his bank with. This
is one case in which you can eat your
cake and Eaye it at the same time.
The interest on this five hundred mill
lion of bonds for one year will be if
teen million dollars and for fifty years
will amount to the enormous sum of
seven hundred and fifty million dollars;
so that this government will have paid
for the gold standard, in cash alone, at
the end of fifty years. the sum OF seven
hundred and fifty million interest and
five hundred million principal, which.
added to the hundred million already
issued, makes, in round numbers, the
sum of one billion three hundred fifty
million dollars. This is mortgaging
our children and children's children to
the devil of Mammou, and does not take
into the account the loss to every pro-
perry holder. to every wage Garner. and
the untold misery and misfortune that
attend the gold standard like the shad-
0w OF death. The congressman who
helps perpetrate this infamy should not
DE hung in effigy when he returns to
his constituents.

titled to be called the Job Trotter of
the criminal practice. We doubt If
:he eminent barrister is not the SUI
perior of that gentleman in subaque-
Gus methods. If a particularly bru-
tai crime is committed, his services are
secured if the defendant has money.
and then follows the peculiar methods
now in vogue to save the accused from
the halter or the penitentlary. First,
local counsel is secured. with a wide
acquaintance throughout the county
where the accused allows himself to be
tried. A list of jurors i. secured and
scrutinized carefully. If there is a
man upon it who has ever been tried
for the same or similar offence, he is
allowed to remain upon the panel, if
there be no special reason why he
should be removed. Again. if anyone
has been summoned who is known to
have bad difficulty with the injured
party or his relatives. he is also re-
tanned. Again, the list is scrutiniZed
to ascertain if there is anyone on the
panel over whom the defendant. his
counsel. or anyone peculiarly identi-
fed with the defendant, has a person
al, political or financial pull; if there
is, he is retained. In jury of twelve
men there will be apt to be found some
one or two individuals with a COM
manding influence. To secure men of
this class favorable to the defendant is
of paramount Importance. and to do
this no stone is left unturned. Then,
when the trial takes place, and the ar
guments come to be made. and the
Governor arises to address the jury,
his fine presence, his faultless man
ner, his imposing Prince Albert coat,
at once gain for him the attention of
the entire audience, as we'll as of the
jury. His presentation of the defend
ants cause is usually perfect. His ar
gument, delivered in clear, resonant
voice, is arrayed in the choicest En-
glish. Each individual juror is ap-
pealed to, for his previous history is
usually known, and when the Govern
or's fine histrionic talent is brought
into play, and the tears begin to flow.
and the handkerchief begins to wave
like flag of distress, the average juror
usually becomes hypnotized: the theat-
rical display has the desired effect; the
e:idence is forgotten; the charge of
the court overlooked; and the defend
ant gets verdict. After awhile the
juror wonders why he ever consented
to return such a fool verdict. Govern
or johnson is but type OF class.
We cannot say that these men do any
thing professionally wrong, but the
fact that SO many criminals who have
money or influence back of them walk
out of our halls of justice free men. af-
ter having committed crimes of the
most diabolic character. makes the
couvictien of the impecunious chicken
thief little farcical, and, above all
things else, encourages the mob. We
advise the jurors of this country to
amuse themselves with game of
checkers or old sledge for an hour or
two before entering upon the consid
Grafton of case of importance; then
carefully read the charge of the court
and review the testimony, before
reaching verdict. The tears of no
attorney, no matter how eminent he
may be, should be taken as evidence
without being first sampled for salt.

WHAT evils will result from adopting
the silver standard? We would have
a money almost absolutely stable.
Gold going out of use as money
metal, would decline in value; silver
coming into use as a money metal
would rise in value to it's proper place.
Our silver would be used by foreign
nations in trading with US, and in fact,
gold be crowded out of use in all the
channels of American trade, which
would tend to congest gold in other
channels of trade, thereby reducing
its value. The party in England de-
sirous of buying an American machine
would pay us in silver dollars, if he
could procure them, and for his pur-
pose silver would be as valuable as
gold. The same papers that predicted
unbounded prosperity if We would on
ly repeal the Sherman act, are now
predicting utter wreck and ruin if We
do not continue to uphold the thieying
gold standard, and these predictions
are about as reliable in the one case
as the other.

interest more than the original debt;
and the people will still owe the prin-
