How the Gold is Withdrawn from the
Treasury.

A letter appears in this issue of GU,
paper written by Hon. VIM. L. Wilson
to DR.. D. K. Taylor of Stanesville, W
Va. showing how the gold has been
withdrawn from the Treasury. This
subject has caused our people 50 much
anxiety, and is SO poorly understood
by the public generally that we invite
a careful persusal of this letter. which
shows that it is a trick practised by
tie moneyed people upon the govern
menr, which. without legislation, no
administration could check. Mr..
Cleveland begged for such legislation,
and Mr.. Carlisle begged for it, but a
hostile republican congress, assisted
by contingent of reckless democrats,
the relief, preferring to see the
ruined rather than do pa
lriOtic act.

The impression prevails throughout
the North and West that the chief
cause of the success of McKinleyism is
the support it receives from the "A. P.
A., which is exceedingly strong in both
those sections. If that be so. and Mr..
Mckinley be nominated, so much the
better for the democracy. and the
country, for men who desire to secure
their own religious freedom. will not
support party that would deny that
of other people.-AleG. Gazette.

A Great Debate.

Ex-Speaker Crisp and Secretary
Hoke Smith have been holding joint
discussions through Georgia for some
days on the money question. and have
ceased only because the voice of Mr.
Crisp gave way. How many converts
each has made has not been ascertain
ed, and how long they will hold to the
new faith is also question.
The debate has been rather an limo
walton in politics, as both gentlemen
vie with each other in the soundness
of their democracy. Usually persons
of opposite political faith discuss these
questions. We opine that the results
will be similar to those which are said
to have followed discussion between
the ministers of two religious denomi-
nations on the Tug Fork of Sandy in
Mcdowell county, W. Va, some years
ago. Out there, two congregations
listened to weeks discussion of the
question as to whether Philip and the
Eunuch went down to the water, or
SO" - wow GAO V@UCi, WIkCA VAC tLuAuCu
was baptised. And it is said that SO
ably did the learned representatives of
the "To's' and the "Into's" as they
were afterward called, argue this i'm
portant question, that the meeting
closed without a single man, woman,
or child having changed his, hers, or
its former views, and the only way the
supremacy of the one over the other
was ever determined was in the collec-
ton, which resulted in the Rev. DR.
To-water's getting nine cents less in |
his hat than the Rev. DR.. Into-water
got in his.
We await with interest the recovery
by Mr.. Crisp of his voice, and the
passing around of the hat.

DEL MONTE, Cal, April 1.-Chauncey
NJ. Depew was interviewed to-day re-
gardiny q canvass made by the. San
Francisc Examiner, of the prominent
republicans of California which ap-
parently showed the sentiment OF the
state to be overwhelmingly in favor OF
Mckinley. .'Let me see." he said,
this is the first of April, the republI-
can national convention does not meet
until June Is. Now there Is such
thing us a man running SO fast as to be
out of breath when the time comes to
jump. Mckinley is good man ana l
have no doubt but that he Will nave
the largest number of votes on the
first ballot. Blaine had the same at
Cincinnati in 1876, and it almost broke
nv heart when 10 failed to get the
nomination in place of Hayes. the dark
horse Grant had the same in Chicago
in 1880. and yet Garfield was noml-
mated. If icturns out that Mckinley
does. not cars the convention by storm
the followers of the other candidates
are likely to agree upon some man VINO
will get the nomination. New YORK

gate at large to the convention, and
all of us will try to make him the
nominee as the best available man"

WEDNESDAY, APRIL s.

Had Mr.. Reed used the X-ray nature
gave him, he ought to have seen that
the passage of a tariff bill by Congress
would act on his Presidential hopes,
somewhat as boa on bull-frog. The
small tariff snakelet he did liberate,
caught and swallowed his little Presi-
Dental bull-froglet before it made more
than three jumps.

A few years ago Senator Sherman

SAID:
EVERY obstruction to commerce is
tax on consumption; every facility to
a free exchange cheapens commodities.
increases trade and production. and
promotes civilization. Nothing is
worse than sectionalism within a ma
ton. and nothing is better for the
peace of nations than unrestricted
freedom of commerce with each other"
But now the same Senator supports
the Presidential aspirations of the
highest tariff man in the country, and
one so sectional that he favored the
passage of the infamous Force bill.
There never was greater change in a
mans opinions than that which has
taken place in Senator Sherman's, nor
does history record a more patent
illustration of the difference between
now and then than is presented in his
case.-Aler. Gazette.
