BRAND 1T, WRGiNIANS!

The bond Of sympathy between the
leaders of the Dol ing Democrats and
the Republican leaders is not Deepen
dent for its existence upon personal
contact, as when leaders of these two
parties speak from the same platform
as was the ceso at Clifton Forge and
Buckingham Courth ouse. It extends
over spnce. The way in which these
think alike aud talk alike when sep
aratcd by distance is another strik
ing proof ofcollusion, and of inspi
ration from The same Headquarters.
a notable Illustration of the thor.
ough understanding that exist be-
tween the Republicans and their be 1t.

the meetings held Tuesday at Mil

In Petersburg Judge ~ w. Tenncv,
OF New York, nddt sscd a meeting
from Republican standpoint, and
commenced his remarks by declar
ing that the Democratic party was
mads up of Anarchists, Communists
etc. AT Millboro' the star speaker
for the Republicans was Mr.. Byrne
of New York: president of the Sound
Money League of America, who de.
nounced the free-silver advocates as
dishonest, and, rs our Mi.boro' cor.

abuse of them.

peared to observe this gross incon
sistency.
The bin passed the Senate Janu
AIRY 10 1871, but was never acted on
by the House.
The third and finally successful
movement FOR the decentralization of
silver was the introduction in the
House of Representative on the 9th
Fof March, 1871, of 81 bili(No. 1920

tive to inints, assay officers and coin
age oflhc United States" It was
introduced by Mr.. Kelly of Pennsyl
vania, Chairman OF the Committee
on Coinage, and reported by him fn
vorably from that Committee on the
9th of January, 1872. He informed
the House that it had been prepared
III the Treasury Department for the
purpose of codifying and simplifying
the mint laws, and that he and his
colleague on the commi;tee--Mr.
| Maynard OF Tennessee-both stated
that it was mere revision Of the
mint laws, the only important change
being the creation of Mint Bureau
in the Treasury Department.
1t was recommited January 10,
and again reported with amendments
February ., lS73-this time by Hon.
Samuel Hooper of Massachusetts,.
He stated that the bill reduced the
weight OF tho silver dollar from
412 IL grains to 394, bat he did not
state that it proposed, as it did, to
demonetize silver by making the
silver dollar legal tender only in
sums not to exceed So. Mr.. Clark
son Potter of New York, however de
bated that provision, which he oh
jectnd to as being ill-timcd, and he
also strongly objected to the other
features OF the bill.
The main object of the bill. which
MIR. Hooper had carefully conceale l.,
having been thus disclosed by Mr..
Potter, the measure was apparently
abandoned, but OF the 81 of May fol
lowing, after it had slumbered nenr.
ly four months, Mr.. Hooper again
called it up for the purpose of NOV
ing substitute. This substitute
was never read, Mr.. Hooper assuring
tho House that it had been submi
ted TO the different gentlemen in the
House who had taken special inter
est III the bill, and that IT hrl met
with universal appreciation in the
form in which he offered it. This
was equivalent to saying that it no
longer contained the provisions OBJ
jected to by Mr.. Potter
MIR. Hooper answered every eues.
llon concerning 1t, but no question
was asked or statement made as TO
tue silver dollar or the limitation of
its legal tender quality to So. This
statement can easily be verified by a
reference TO the Congressional Globe,
part 5. second session, For,y.second
Congress, page 1882 and 1888.

DOngOla.

''Dongola'' is a peculiar
tannage Of Goat skins, a pro-
cess that has revolutionized
the leather industry within
the last few years, having it's
origin in the efforts of Amer
lean leather manufacturers to
initiate the best makes of
French Kid. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that they
have more than accomplished
their object, as French Kid
has almost ceased to be a
leather of import.

Dongola made from Patna
Goat Skins. A Patna skin is
acknowledged to be the pur-

an animal.

Kangaroo Calf.

kangaroo Calf is genu-
inc calf skin, tanned by a
new process, which adds great
strength and service to the
skin, with softness, pliability
and neatness of appearance.
The skins are finished on
the grain or hair side, which
is the opposite Of all other
tannages of calf skins. The
upper Of the "Security School
Shoe" is made from the best
selection of Kangaroo Calf.
Each pair has an outside back
strap of this same material,
and in addition, an inside
linen back stay. The tip is
from the best Oak Sole leath-
er finished expressly for this
purpose, and the soles, coun-
tiers and all materials used in
the makeup of these shoes
are of the very best. They
are made for service and
hard usage, from the hustling
child, and are absolutely Sc
cure, front and back, upper
and sole.
