THE PARITY" HUMBUG.

Defending his royal fstness in the
United States senate on the 18th
inst, Mr.. Gray of Delaware said:
The presldent had performed a duty in
Oumbsnt ON him by stating that she law
was suCh that any evasion of il would have
been plain dereliction Of duty. Congress
had made this law. It made ib necessary
TO maintain the parity between the metals
by redeeming in either.
"Right here want TO ask" said Mr..
PETER, sis there any law which compels
the secretary Of the treasury 10 pay demand
notes in gold instead Of in silVer2"
81 have not said there was any such law"
replied Mr.. Gray. 81 know Of no such law
But the obligation TO maintain the parity
between metals makes it absolutely incum-
bent to treat these metals equally"
And yet the treatment Of these
metals equally is the very thing that
these gold conspirators decline to do.
II the metals were treated equally
they would be accorded equal privi-
leges at the mints and no discrimins.
tion would be made between them in
the payment of government obligs-
tions redeemable in coin. This hyp-
Ocriticsl pretense ofmaintaining par
ity between two metals by invariably
discriminating in favor Of one of
them and against the other, both IN
law and in practice, is too big a hum
bug to deceive anybody. The pre-
tense is an insult to the most ordi-
nary intelligence, and yet this is the
constant cry of the "fnsnciers."

THE REFERENDUM.

On the 31st of January Senator
PETER offered in the senate a joint
resolution to submit the following
questions to q vote of the people:
(1) Shall the congress Of the United
States provide for the issue and sale of gov
eminent bonds bearing INTEREST,"
(2) Shall congress provide for the with
drawsl OF United States notes (greenbsoks)
from oiFoulstion2
(3) Shall congress provide for the free
and unlimited coinage Of gold and silver at
the present legal ratio, to 1872
(4) Shall paper money used by the people
be prepared and issued by the government
onlyp
We hardly venture to predict that
this joint resolution will go through
the two houses this session. It is so
much easier to get the opinion of the
"fnanciers" upon the subject than
to get an expression of the people at
the ballot-box; and then if the "6nan-
Ciers' express their opinion, isn't
that sufficient?

IT WOULD have been bad taste for

The sulfsrings Of the poor in the dread

PUT ALL THE CONSPIRATORs IN THE
SAME HOLE.

The Kansas City Times of Febru-
ary IL, speaking of the rate of inter-
est paid by the government, says:
II the Wall street gamblers could be kept
in confinement for a year this country
could borrow at a lower rate than any
other.
And the Times might have added,
if the Co-conspirators of the Wall
Street gamblers in the White house
and in the treasury department could
be consigned to the same cell, the
government iUOuM not need to bor-
row at any rate Of interest.

II ever financial transaction Of an Rd-

is this gold purchase. There appears to
be more below the surface concerning

aware Of. 1t ia not a transaction that

The Associated Press sends a tale Of
woe from New York, in which it quotes
Rev. A. B. Wilson, pastor Of the
Eighteenth street M. E. church, az say
ing: "There are 100000 men, hungry,
i'll clad and shelterlsss, walking the
streets Of New York every night. They
are not trRmps or criminals, and should
not be treated as such. They are willing
to work, but cannot find anything to do.
Yet, if one Of these applies at q police
station for lodging, he is sent to the
island as a vsgrsnt. The same fate
probably awaits him if he goes to the
charities organization societies, the
greatest fraud on charity in this city.
Certainly he does not get relief from
that society. Shelter Is not given or
food provided. At the best, he is only
given q promise Of relief In the indef-
mite future, and in the meantime may
perish OF hunger and cold. II makes me
boil to think Of that society, parRding
under the cloak OF charity. It leviss
tribute upon the rich who pays it for
protecting them from the opportunities
Of the poor. The charity organization
society is founded not on the principles
laid down by Jesus Christ, but on the
practice Of bRrbRrisns. 1t ia time that
men should learn that the work Of
charity cannot be delegated. II each
person should distribute his own aims,
less would be given to the undeserving,
and more good would be done the poor,
than under this system Of so,Cslled Or
ganizsd charity"
