credit of the country. Right In the midst
of the steady drain OF our gold, cau.ed
by false and worthless system, the Senate
croons and croons over meas ures for pro-
hibiung the Treasury from borr owing
money. About the very hour whena naitIOa
of gold was being taken from the sub-treas-
ury, In exchange torpaper, Bacon ofGeOrgia
was Grating the Senate on the awfunesS
of permitting the Treasury to raise money,
without specific sanction of Congress, i'll
each case. To ask such fellows to do any
thing, save the mounting OF theories, listen
ing to Tillman's blackguard rant, and
voting perquisites 10 thems elves, is to
estimate them far above their worth.-Chat-
tanooga Times.

The financial faith OF Secretary Carlisle
is not OF that stern strength to shield
