Getting Together.

When the Warnings, Thay CTS
 Chandlers and Fairchllds shall
 have passed away there will pro
 bably be an end to all sectional
 feeling between the North and
 South. Gen. Rollins, of Denver, Commander of that deparlment of
 the Grand Army of the Republic,
 made a few remarks recently in
 regard to the soldiers of the late war which are very much in con
 trast with those uttered by the fire e-eating Thayer, of Massachu
 setts. Thayer said that it was nothing short ot blasphemy for grand Army men to participate in the exercises at the unvielng of the Confederate monument at Chi cagQ. Gen. Rollins says this. "The war is over. We are, 1 may al- most say, for the first time unit ed people. This nation is great enough, intelligent enough, suffici- ently advanced in all that goes to make up what we call civilization, when victorious to be generous and even liberal to the vanquish- ed. The South, or al least many parts of it, is not the home, but rather the stopping place of many poor, crippled, broken-down old men. They were brave soldiers, not the leaders, but in the ranks of an army whose record for bray cry and soldierly conduct cast no stain upon our fame as nation among nations. True, they were not our comrades in the Grand Army sense, but they are our brothers in the American sense. A home somewhere in the Sunny South where these old soldiers can be cared for, sheltered, fed, clothed and in sickness nursed will cost but little comparatively. u will soon be too late to be gener

Non T. c. MeRae on Silver

The following is the opinion of Mr. McRae regarding the money question, as taken from an inter- view published in late issue of the Camden Beacon:
 Il regret to see Democrats, all of whom profess to be bi.metal- lasts, quarreling over the ratio be- tween gold and silver and over the question whether the United States should lead or follow in the fight tor the restoration of silver. but trust all these differences will be settled in the State and Nation al conventions in such manner as will enable us to present solid front in the great contest of 1896, npon bi metallic platform with candidates thoroughly committed to It. The last Democratic State convention in this State which de clared for the free and unlimited coinage at the present ratio, l think adopted the proper course. Our government is old enough and strong enough to lead in the contest, and 1t should not hesitate. France and Germany followed us in demoneiizing of silver in 1873, and II is nut unreasonable to as sume that they will follow us in an effort 10 remonetize it. But be that as 1t may we should mot hesl- tate to resume the coinage of the c Constitutions. Silver with gold came to ns from England as part at onr institutions and they were taken up and incorporated into the ConslitutIon, by being here with our people before the Constitution, and all along the two metals went together, stand ing substantially in the same ratio they did tt first until silver was degraded in 1873. Until then our people knew no other dollars pro- perly speaking but gold and silver. Those who oppose the further use of silver falsely assume that the in the bullion value is not caused by the discrimination

oas. There is butonc place where q movement Of this kind can start, and that is in the Grand Army of the Republic" Despite the ohiec tions of Gen. Thayer and his Southhating crowd, Union soldiers and prominent officials and mem bers of the Grand Army will par ticipdte in the dedication of the Chicago monument and will assist in decorating the graves of the Confederate dead. Prominent Union men will not only take part III the Chicago exercises, but they will attend the great reunion of the Confederates at Houston. The war is over, as Gen. Rollins says, and it is the opinon of the honest soldier that the day IS not far distant when all,the old heroes, no matter iii which army they fought, will he regarded as Ameri. cans; that they will be looked up- on as brothers, and that in the de- coration of the grave of soldier no distinction will be made be- tween that oi Confederate and one that contains Union soldier.

great emiDence among the nations of the earth twenty years agol While many of these silver coun- tres are deeply burdened with debts payable in approaching gold they have nevertheless made steady progress and have been free from the great commercial panics and the long periods of depression that have rocked the gold-stand- ard countres. Mexico has made wonderful progress in the past twenty years-a progress that IS matter of great astonishment to those that now visit that country. The Chinese, of course, would be Chinese, no matter what their monetary system might be; but the fact remains that since the sue cess of the goldstandard propa- ganda the gold using countries have been suffering from an al- most unparalleled depression of trade, while the silver countries
 have suddenly sprung forward in the path of progress and prosperi
 ty. The British manufacturer and the American agriculturist are be- ing driven to the wall by the growing competition Of silver us- ing conntries.-Commerial Appeal.

The Silver Countries.

A great deal has been said by way of contemptuous comparison
 concerning the condition ot the silver using countries of the world
 It is Il favorite argument of the monomets to point us to Mexico and China, and appall us with the question of whether we want to fall to that low level. It IS an "argument" unworthy of serious attention, for we suppose there are very few people fools enough to believe that the the difference between Chinese and European civilization, for instance, is simply il difference of currency. We can conceive of no object people can have in resorting to such clap-trap except to fill blank spaces with words or idle ears with sound. 50 long as the question has been rals' ed, however, few facts on that line may be pertinent. All peo- ple who have looked into the sub- feet known that while all the gold using countries of tho world have been passing through aperlod of great depression the silver us'ng countries have been steady in- creasing in prosperity. It IS on- ly since the demonetization of sll- yer that the silver countries have become dangerous competitors with the gold countries. Today India and Japan are formidable rivals of Great Britain in certain lines of industry in the cotton trade, have virtually robbed her of the Orient. Who ever thought of Japan rising to its present

For the Mentieelonian. The long-looked for period hav- ing arrived, when by the proper pluck and energy on the part of Monticello, a North and South railroad Is phtainable, Il remains to be seen whether our citizens are justly alive to the importance of such opportunity as now pre- sents itSelt. When 1t is ia en in- l to consideration what the present railroad has done, and is still do- Ing for our town, surely no one who is pecuRiarly able, and who has the interest and welfare of bis home at heart. can hesitate for aI moment 10 loosen his purse, strings. and thus assist in making Monticello the envy ot all South Ar kanxas= Naw. !, is evident, that in addition lo ne increase in trade taat <aeh ra5 rea4 IS bound 10 a-z-x fa oar#t7wa. t will, without

 Whilst advocating the true worth anu value ot railroads how. ever, We are not uRmindful of the fact. that there are other requisites that are necessary in order that the growth of city or town may be permanent, and those are, the building up and sustaining of all home industries; thus keeping at home the vast amounts which are annually sent off 10 replenish the coffers of distant cities.

 But grant that there are many ar ticles, that under existing circum- stances, cannot be made or ha d here. can any reasonable excuse be offered for sending of for many that can be made just as well here, and equally as cheap and durable as else here?
