There was a fair sailing breeze from the
southwest all morning, but the peo-

to try her sails. The club topsail was
brought up from below and laced to a
hollow club and the head sails were
overhauled in a leisurely way. The main
sail was not unfurled and the staysail
was not bent up to eleven o'clock. In
spite of the fact that the British boat has
but six days left to stretch sails and
test her rigging before she is hauled out
to prepare for the international races,
there were no signs of hurry on board.

If the people desire to protect their
liberties in this country their only
power to do it is with the ballot. To-
day the monetary policy dictated by
the money lenders of London, and
propagated by the bond sellers of
New York and adopted by both the
Republican and Democratic admins
trations, is totally antagonistic to the
interests of the producing classes of
the country. 1t is:founded in Injustice
it is organized avarice, it is subver-
sive of the liberties of the people; it
epgenders hatred, discomfort and
want among the common people by
forcing them to sell their labor and
the products of their labor for far less
than they are worth, in exchange for
money enhanced in value by the
adoption of the gold standard. 1t

Steamer Soon to Leave England to Lay IL
from Para to Manaos.
Washington, Dec. 3.-Brazilian adj
vices state that the steamer Faraday
will shortly leave England with the
cable which is to be laid i'll the Amazon
river from Para to Manaos. This en-
terprise is being carried out by the Eng
lish company under an exclusive con-
tract with the Brazilian government.
The line will be $4,000 miles long, and
will have 16 intermediate stations. All
previous attempts at establishing tele-
graphic communications in these dis
tricts have been unsuccessful, owing to
the dense and rapid growth of the for
est along the bank of the river.
AS an indication of the great impor-
lance of the Amazon, it may be stated
that the Faraday, q steamer Of 5000
tons, can easily proceed the entire dis
lance from the mouth of the river to
Manaos.
