A correspondent whose communica-
tion appears elsewhere sa Us he has failed
to find any sentiment in the dis
cuss1on of bimetalisnl, "but only hard
facts, sound reasoning and conclusions
which are being justified by daily expe-
rience." Perhaps what appears to us as
sentiment appears to our correspondent
as legitimate argument, but it seems to
Us that this continual shouting that Eng
land is trying to enslave us, and the
constant allegation that the question of
binietalism and recommendation ia largely
an issue between the rich and the poor
are appeals to sentiment, to national
and class feeling rather than an intelli-
gent consideration of the question on its
merits. The same battle of the standard
which is going on in this country is ap-
parently going on quite as vigorously in
England, and it is curious fact that
the leader of the Conservative party, the
party that contains very large part of
the aristocracy of England, is espousing
the cause of bimetalism--or the cause of
the poor, according to our CORES spondent.
So, apparently, the aristocratio portion
of England, instead of conspiring for
our enslavement, appears to be about to
labor for our liberation. This would
seem to free Us from the necessity of
sending Paul Reveres round the country
as Ccin suggests in one Of his addresses
to his financial school, shouting: "The
British are on our shores" Great Blit-
ain has been on gold basis practically
for century. The action of Germany
in 1878 has had more to do with the gem
sral decentralization of silver than Eng
lands practice Of century, yet nobody
thinks of appealing TO us not to follow
Germany, and the reason is that there is
no national feeling against Germany to
make such an appeal effective. Silver,
in the sense that more of it is used by
ghe poor than of gold, is undoubtedly the

MONDAY. APRIL 8.

The South which is now making a
stong bid for northern manufacturing
capital, wont get much of it while such
treatment as was received recently by
MIR. Richard J Hallowell of Melrose,
Mass, at Camden, S. c., is liable to be
the experience of any man who goes
there and refuses to wear muzzle. MIR.
Hallowell, who is a philanthropist,
went to Camden with two invalid ladies.
While there he went among the negroes,
attending their churches and public
meetings. At first the whites treated
him with coldness. but as this did not
aeter him from going among the negroes,
q warning was sent him written in red
Ink, notifying him that if he did not
leave Immediately he would be taken
out by band of regulators and given
fifty lashes on his hare back. One of the
dent, under the supposition that the ler-
ter was addressed to herself, opened the
mssive and feeling sure that if he
learned the contents of the communion
tion he could not he induced to leave,
ard being naturally alarmed at the pos.
sible results. concealed the letter, and,
making the pretense that the invalid
needed A change, succeeded in removing
the entire party within day or two to
a resort in North Carolina. 1t was not
until this transfer had been accom-
plished that she showed MIR. Hallowell
the letter in question. Later he received a
letter from some of the business firms of
the city condemning the threatening let
ter, and assuring MIR. Haliowell that they
were ever ready to welcome gentlemen
who came among them in search of
health or to establish business relations.
To thisfletter Mr.. Hsllowell replied as
follows:
Free speech and action and tolerance
of opinion are rights sacred to every
American citizen, and until this fact is
recognized in Camden the hospitality
and courtesy which it's citizens accord to
some but deny to Others, and of which
you speak SO feelingly, will inoL avail to
promote its welfare. Until they are ready
to extend cordial welcome, not only to
all who may visit the town for recrea-
tlon or health, or to esta ablish business
relations, but also to those who, if inter
ested in official, edu cational, political
or religious questions, refuse to be
tongue-tled or to wear muZZles of any
mans making. you must not be sur
prised if freed om-loving northern men
with caps to invest and ability to de-
velop' industries, give preference to a
BROADER mi nded and freer community to
be found elsewhere.

money OF the poor, but that was not the
sense which Coin intended. 1t is quite
evident, we think, that what Coin meant
to teach was that a gold standard
discriminates against the poor, while a
silver standard discrlminates in his fav-
or. That isn't proved. Indeed, mas
much as wages have kept up in this
country since 1873 when we went on to
an exclusively gold standard, while the
prices of the neoessaries of life have
generally fallen the post hoe ergo
propter hoe argument might be used
with quite as much effect as the silver
ties use it to prove that the act of 1873
is the sole cause of the decline of silver,l
to prove that gold basis helps the
workingnan.

Hail and Farewell to Frederick Douglas.
A commanding figure six feet high, a
splendid head with large and well formed
features, soft, pathetic eyes, complexion
of an olive brown, flowing white hair
such was Frederick Douglas, as he rose
to greet me in the parlour of the hotel
at Washington. Gentle and digniied,
Mrs. Douglas sat by him. 1t is difficult
to conceive a more splendid model for a
picture of Abraham. His warm words
made oDe feel at once the kindness and
courtesy OF his spirit. We talked while
on Indifferent subjects, and then as the
hotel parlor began to fill, and I had
much that L wished to discuss with the
man of whom had heard and read so
much, asked Mr.. .and Mrs. Douglas to
come out with Miss Willard aud me into
a qu1eter corner on the hotel landing
1T is delightful TO meet you," said Mr..
Douglas. My remem brance of England
is SO vivid and | owe so much to the
country from which you come" ~ have
always had," | replied, ga great love for
Amer1ca. Nothing that / can remem ber
over stirred me as child so much as
Mrs. Beecher Stowe's Uncle TOMS Cab
ln;' indeed, so interested were we that
my sister and / agreed TO divide the
book in order that both might read at
the same time"
Mr.. Douglas smiled, one Of those beam
ing glances that played over his face aud
gave him that lock Of keen enjoyment
that is so often noticed in those whose
spirit does not grow old.
You know" be said, II went to Eng
land when made my escape after the
John Brown raid; | was no longer safe
in America. and I fed to England.

Graduation Exercises

Ghe class of '95 of Miss Harsh's school

These two young ladies had composed a
number of clever verses, in which they
predicted the future of each of their com
panions. Miss Lottie Bowers essay on
Plato's Prayer was very good and well
delivered. Miss Rie Anderson read an
essay on Road Building and the History
and Will of the Class OF '95 contained
many bright points.
Miss Louise McCormck's essay on
Failure versus Success was good, and
her Advice to the Juniors was indeed ID
good response to The Juniors Advice to
the Seniors of last week
Miss Anne Deans French recitation.
Les Alden, de Marie Stuart, was well de-
liveIed with a fine accent, and her essay
on An Aphorism from Shakespeare was
good. and her singing much admired.
A recitation, How Girls Study. and an
essay, Leaves from the Seniors Diary of
'94 by Miss Bessie Bonsall, were enthus-
iastically received. ard Miss Lucia Drum
mond's essay on The Habit OF Observa-
ton was exceedingly interesting and well
