AGAINST FREE SILVER.
Jniimited Coinage Would Make America
the Dumping Ground.

Uhe Oun ping 0Eouhus
At the Iowa Republican convention,
held at Des Moines ON July 10, the Hon.
Joseph R. Lane, temporary chairman,
made the following reference to the sill
yer question:
Silver being necessary in the money
of the world, we must either maintain
its coinage at par by legislative limita-
ton Of the amount or change the coin
age ratio of the basis Of it's market val
ne. Under the policy Of legislative limi-
tation Of the amount, aided by redemp-
ton when in excess of demand, we have
been able to maintain at par our silver
coin, although its intrinsic value is
much less. This policy was satisfactory
SO long as the price Of silver continued
high, but when it became reduced, on
account of overproduetion and other
causes, there sprung up demand by the
producers of silver for special silver leg
islation. This claim has now crystal
lized into demand for free and unlim-
tied coinage of gold and silver at the
ratio of IS to l. This means to give to
every man, to every nation, the right
to deposit at the minis of the United
States silver in unlimited quantity and
to demand and receive in return, free Of
charge or cost, that silver coined into
money at the ratio Of 16 to l., bearing
the stamp of our government.
In my Judgment such a policy will
make America the dumping ground Of
silver for the world. 1t means we would
be brought at once to a silver basis. 1t
means the degradation Of our dollar to
80 cents 1t means Reputation. 1t will
bring an avalanche of silver, but rest
for labor. The Republicans Of Iowa OPP
pose this in the state of Iowa if we
owe debt, we expect to pay it in money
worth 100 cents on the dollar, in money
of equal purchasing power with any
other money of the world. If any one
owes us, we demand and expect pay
ment in money of equal value. This is
a vital question to all classes The farm
er, the laborer, the merchant, the man
ufacturer, all classes have an interest in
the maintenance of good currency. The
dollar they receive for their productions
and labor should have the highest pur-
chasing power and be ss good as the best
purchasing dollar in the world. Upon a
sound currency depends to large ex-
tent the development, the prosperity,
the success and the maintenance Of our

A GRACEFUL ACT.

The Citizens of Marietta, o., Sent the
Posts of the GAR. to Louisville Free OF
Charge.
Marietta, o. is the oldest white town in the
State. 1t was laid out by a company of Revo-
lutionary soldiers who had gone out West TO
grow up with the country. and they sanguinely
expected that the point junction Of the beanti-
FIJI Muskingum River with the grand Ohio
would be the metropolis of the great empire
whose foundations they were laying. These
hopes were not fulfilled. Marietta became, and
still continues TO be, D ace OF much i'm portance,
but il has been distanced in the race for great
ness by Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and a
host of other places. STILL IL is a very beautiful
home-like town, and the people there are over
flowing with the patriotism that distinguished
their soldier ancestors. As the time approached
for holding the National Encampment at Louis-
VILE, the editor of the Marietta PreSs-himself
not a veteran-suggested that it would be a
graceful thing for the people OF the town TO
raise a fund to transport all the veterans there
TO Louisville in good style and free of cost.
The other papers seconded the proposition, the
money was raised, and train of five cars and
one Pullman, all handsomely decorated, was
placed at the disposal Of Buell. Post, 17s. and

Her father, G. w. Ordway. dying when she
was aaite q child, she was left to the care OF
her widowed mother who, after the marriage
of her daughter, resided with her until her
death.
She received commo school education, sup
plemented by an academic course, and was a
teacher until May, 1873, when she married
Hugh Henry, prominent in political and Grand
Army circles in Vermont and stanch friend
Of the WR.C. from its inception, holding it to
be the only auxiliary of the GAR.
1t was through the earnest importantly of
her husband that Alice "A. Henry joined the
Relief Corps, which she did Dec. 90, 1887. She
WAS not so quick, she says, to see the need of
the organization of which she is now so emf
nently proud TO be called member; but its
necessity and the grandeur and good of its work
soon became apparent to her. and beginning
with the organization Of Henry Corps, SO, aux
Hilary to Henry Post named in honor of the
deceased father of her husband, she has been
an active and untiring worker.
She served two terms as President of Henry
Corps, and has been Assistant Department In
spector almost continuously, and four years
ago was elected Junior Vice Department Presi-
dent, the next year Senior Vice.President, and
the next Department President.
Vermont has not 80 many needy comrades
and their families some Departments, but
the Relief Corps women have not been idle.
While giving this work its due attention, Mrs.
Henry has for the past two years given her
heart, hands, and mind to patriotic teaching
and the Inauguration of the Flag Salute in the
public schools. She well says:
"Into the young hands We must soon yield
the destinies of our land, and on this patriotic
teaching most truly rests the hope Of our Re-
public"
