REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEE.

A letter from Richmond says; Great
interest is felt in the meeting of the
State republican committee to be held
Thursday. There is no doubt that a
fight will be made to GUST Col. Lamb
from the craftsmanship, but there is
some doubt about the committees au.
thority to make a change, as Col. Lamb
was elected chairman by the State con.
yentiou. 1t does not matter, however
what the party rules are, every posi-
BILE effort will be made to get rid OF Col
Lamb.
A dispatch from Richmond says
The bitter fight against Coz. William
Lamb by factions inside the republican
party, which commenced Immediately
after his election to the State chairman
ship last year, will probably have its
elimination in meeting Of tie State
committee here tonight, called by
members of the committee known tc
be hostile to Col. Lamb. The call is
signed by twenty out Of thirty mem
bers of the committee, and it was
stated here last night that an effort will
be made to depose Col. Lamb, and
elect Gen. Stith Boiling in his place,
and that the seats of several members
favorable to Lamb will be contested
Judge Waddill and Gen. Edgar Allan
are leading the fight against Lamb, and
this contest, which was put down dur.
ing the canvass by the national COM
mittee, will now be fought to a finish.

A UTAH GOADBUG.

Goldbugs are not so numerous in
Utah that the people can afford to neg
lect them, and when found they should
be lifted UP tenderly and handled with
care. Such a, goldbug is Mr.. Gill S.
Peyton, who was recently in Washing
ton. To a reporter of the Post of that
city Mr. Peyton said:
Its the general supposition in the
east that every man in Utah is wild for
free silver That idea is a, mistake.
Any number of our people are for gold,
and large per cent of the Republicans
will vote for Mckinley Among the
men that 1 am closely associated with
in business only one is an advocate of
free coinage. At the same time 1 have
no doubt that Bryan will carry the
state 1t is a fact. however, that the
sentiment for silver has shown signs
of diminishing strength recently
Now we should not have noticed this
if we had not observed that several
eastern papers deemed it of such i'm
portance as to copy it from the Post,
such papers as the New York Tribune
and the Pittsburg Dispatch. Mr.. Pey-
ton admits that the state will go for
Bryan, and that is the main thing.
Those signs that the sentiment for free
silver is diminishing are only visible
to those who have extra high power
telescopes.

to say about Utah, and they show that

AMERICAN CURRENCY IN cAxAp.

The New York Evening Post saws
that a gentleman of that city whose
wife started on a trip to Nova Scotia
last week received word from her last
Monday that she was in financial dis
tress. In supplying her with money for
the trip her husband had not taken
| any care to see whether she had silver
| certificates or national bank notes or
greenbacks 1t happened that her
funds were mostly in silver certificates.
and when she went to use them ON ar
irving she was confronted with a. no
tice that they were worth only eighty
cents on the dollar in the province. She
had to appeal therefore for an inter
national money order to help her on
her way.
The Nova Scotian tradesmen and
bankers were merely trying to use the
scare that the goldbugs have got up
to turn an honest penny and make 20
per cent without amy exertion or
rendering any service therefor. Her
silver certificates were just as good as
any national bank notes or green
backs could have been and if presented
1T the treasury or any subtreasury in
this country they would have been
paid in gold the same as all other coin
obligations OF the government
Wherein would have been the advant-
age of national bank notes? They are
not even a, legal tender in this country,
and when presented to the banks that
issue them for redemption those banks
have done all that the law requires of
them when they redeem them in legal
tenders.
The fact is that the Canadians are
treating American money OF all kinds,
except gold, as though it were the fiat
currency of a bankrupt nation. They
know perfectly well that the currency
of this country is as sound and safe as
that Of any country ON the face of the
earth. Perhaps they should not be
blamed for their suspicion of American
currency after all, because the Ameri-
cam newspapers that they see are al
most all gold standard advocates and
they have done all in their power to
create a feeling of distrust of the cur
1ency SO as to brighten people into
voting against the adoption of a policy
of free silver.

THE LAMP OF EXPERIENCE.

In Mr.. Chauncey NJ Depew's speech
as chairman of the Carnegie Hall meet
ing was quoted these words from Pat
rick Henry:
L have but one lamp by which my
feet are guided, and that is the lamp
of experience. I know of no way of
judging of the future but by the past
Bur Mr.. Depew does not seem to be
following that lamp, he is not judging
the future by the past; he is merely
making assumptions and putting them
forth as arguments. It was not nee
essary for him to declare that there
is no instance in the whole range of
history of wealth, national or individ-
ual, flowing from Reputation or dishon-
esty, from misrepresentation or fraud,
from putting the government stamp
on TO measure of value and declar-
ing 1T TO be double measure of value
Everybody knows thai just as they
know that America was discovered in
1892 He is opposed to free silver, but
that fact does not make of those who
advocate it regulators or dishonest
men. The men vino advocate free sill
yer are as honest as those who OPP
pose it, and the assumption of the
gold men that nothing but disaster
would follow it is nothing but assump-
ton. They are neither wiser nor better
citizens because they assume to have a.
greater regard for national honor and
personal integrity than those who DIFF
fer from them. 1t is always wise
thing to do to look after your chickens
when the fox breaches
If Mr.. Depew will judge the future of
the United States under free coinage
of silver by the past of the United
States under free coinage, he will not
need to tremble for the welfare of the
nation. Does the history of the United
States in the past under free coinage
offer any evidence whatever that it
was an injury TO the country? Not
the least in the world. The lamp of ex-
per1ence in the years from 1892 to 1873
with free silver never once led the
country astray. Place that lamp once
more in the front and the people will
move III one grand procession along
the highway of peace and prosperity.
The lamp of experience in the United
States shows that free silver was a.
blessing and not an evil.
