ABOUT THE BIG YACHTS.
Facts That Are Interesting, Notwith-

The Defender weighs more than the mon
ster locomotive No. $40, which beat the

Central yesterday. She weighs more than
the locomotive and its tender and one of
the cars of the train. And the Valkyrie

Don't dispute the foregoing statement
and want to bet on it. Remember the De-
fender has eighty tons of lead in her keel,
and that the bottom of that keel is twenty
feet under water.
Because you're on the upper deck of

"Under existing laws the treasury must

barrassments and hasten the period of a

positories of gold, and they, not the Gov
ernment should supply the currency and
make the redempiiOns. The Government
will have performed its full duty by cx-
acting a security and standing sponsor
TO the note-holders
"Our laws empowering the banks TO
issue currency should be so amended as
to induce sufficient increase to take
the place Of the greenbacks. which
should be retired. This would relieve the
Treasury of all embaTrassments and
bring into active use our stock Of gold
