A PROPOSITION MADE.

Business Mems association was held at
the Grant house parlors Monday even
ing. President Brown, who had been

If the buildings here could be put into
shape so as not to cost the company
more than $25, 900, the plant would be
brought here. In order to do this the
city would be called upon to raise about
$780, 900 to get the buildings into shape.
This proposition having Dee2 received,
it was thought that a more favorable
one might be formulated, since certain
gentlemen interested in important land
privileges in the vicinity of the pro-
posed location of the factory, who
would be most benefited, it was
thought might interest themselves in
raising the necessary sum for the reft-
ting of the buildings. Taking this
view of the matter, a committee con-
sisting of Charles C. Brown, e. FL. Hol-
lister and A. FL. French was appointed
to see these gentlemen at once in order
| to Law the matter before them. The
committee went at its work this noon.

kENTIIkY FOR SOUND MONEY.

The free silver advocates; although led
by Senator Blackburn, were routed horse,
foot and dIagoon in the Kentucky Demo
cratic Convention, their opponents sccur-
ing by an overwhelming majority the
adoption of Il sound money platform and
rubbing it in with unqualified indorse-
mcnt of President Cleveland and Secrc-
tary Carlisle. Although the convention
was guilty of the apparent Inconsistency
of adopting a sound money money plat
form and nominating free silver candi-
date for Governor, it should not be for
gotten that Hardin. the successful candi-
date, was early in the field and had boubt-
less secured the personal pledges of many
delegates on personal grounds and entire
" regardless of the financial issue.
The gratifying outcome of Secretary
declaration by the Democrats Of Kentucky
should put heart and courage into the
sound money Democrats in every State.
Kentucky was one of the first Southern
''tttltN III w llttl an VI -tlll[ti IiSt 'iiN =
crusade was undertaken. Under the lead
cr,hip of Senator Blackburn it seemed for
1t time to carry everything before it. The
uncuuiyocal declaration of the Rcpubli
can State Convention for honest money
called the first halt on the free silver craze
and the convincing and unanswerablc
speeches OF Secretary Carlisle turned the
tide and wrestc. victory out of impending
defeat.
What has been done in Kentucky can
be done in every State where the free
coinage lunacv has obtained Roadway
burausc the free silver forces were the
first to take the field. What is needed is
the courage to challenge the followers of
the free coinage propa gandists ndeNposc
their sophistry and fal>ity. There should
be a Carlisle to marshal the sound money
hosts in every State and he should be
about his work at once. If the Kentucky
plan i followed the Democratic Orga MIA
ton in every State will follow the Ken
lucky example and the free coinage crankS
will be compelled to flock by themselves
which is what they ought to do.-Phila-
delphia Times.

Senator Dubois and Senator elect Car
ter, the republican silver leaders, say they
are not in the least tlismayed by the defeat
of the silver faction in the Kentucky con
vention. ''Eyerything considered said
Senator Dubois 1.-The silver men have done
very well in Kentucky. When it is re-
membered that the whole influence of the
administration was brought to bear to pre-
vent the adoption of silver resolutions it
is by no means surprising that Senator
Blackburn was defeated. The action of
the convention has convinced me that the
silver men have more to expect from the
republicans than from the democrats. |
believe that the nomination of Il combina-
ton silver ticket is probable unless the
the republicans nominate Senator Gamer
on. The latter result is, in my opinion,
growing more likely every day"

THE VALUE OF PAPER MONEY.

The New York World says: "Replying
to correspondent not long ago the World
said that the people do not get govern
ment dollar note without paying 100 cents
for it To this tiat-money publication
called the Under Dog replies that no per
son gets dollar note without giving 100
cents for it, but that all the nation gives
is the cost of the paper and presswork.'
We suppose, then, that when Il banker
gives his note for S10,000, instead of pay
lug in money he is really parting with
nothing except the fraction of a cent which
the paper in the note cost him. Mr.. j.
Piedmont Morgan or Mr. August Belmont
would look at the matter differently. Their
experience has taught them that when an
honest and solvent man gives Il S1o,ooo
note it costs him S1o,0O0.
Every paper promise to pay, whether
Used by individual, bank or government,
is worth its fac" SO long as the iSsucr is
known to be able and willing to redeem it
at par. The moment there is doubt on that
point it depreciaies, and when doubt be
comes certainty that the isSuer is either
unable or unwilling to pay at all the prom
iSa wort h1pSS
During the whole time when our gov
eminent, in spite of the nations great
wealth and credit, could not redeem the
greebacks on demand they were depreci-
ated. The moment it resumed specie pay
ments they became worth their face
The truth that the value of paper cur
rencv is measured exactly by its redeem
ability ought to be patent to every inttlli-
gence Unfortunately there seems to be
intelligences too dull to understand it.
Hence the disastrous plumbers of John
Laws circulating notes. of French aSsig-
mats and of our continental money. If
the truth were not a. it is, there is no rea-
son why the whole volume of Confeder-
ate currency should not he in circulation.
The only reason nobody would think of
taking that currency is that everybody
knows there is nowhere anybody to redeem

As anticipated by every one who had
read the constitution of the country, the
attempt to drag Mr.. Dana, of the New

Washington to be tried for an alleged Ii
bel committed in New York, has failed,
the I. 5. Court havin decided to that eff
