James G. Blame on Silver.

Extract from a speech delivered in
the United States Senate, Feb. Z. 1878:
Il believe the struggle now going on
in this country and other countries for
a single gold standard would, if sue
cessful, produce widespread disaster
in and throughout the commercial
world. The destruction of silver as
money, and establishing gold as the
sole unit of value, must have q ruin
Gus effect on all forms of property ex-
cept those investments which yield a
fixed return in money. Those would
be enormously enhanced in value, and
would gain a disproportionate and I'M
fair advantage over every other species
of property. If, as the most reliable
statistics affirm, there is nearly seven
billion dollars of coin or bullion in the
world, very equally divided between
gold and silver, it is impossible to
strike silver out of existence as money
without results that will prove dis
tressing to millions and utterly disas-
trous to tens of thousands.
Il believe gold and silver coin to be
the money of the constitution, indeed.
the money of the American people an
terror to the constitution, which the
great organic law recognized as quite
independent eff its own existence. No
power was conferred on Congress to
declare that either metal should be
money. Congress has, therefore, in
my judgment. no power to demonetize
silver any more than to demonetize
gOld-no power 20 demonetize either
any more than to demonetize both.
Few persons can be found, | appre-
bend, who will maintain that Congress
possesses the power to demonetize both
gold and silver, or that Congress could
be justified in prohibiting the coinage
of both. and yet in logic and legal con-
construction it would be difficult to
show where and why the power of
Congress over silver is greater than
ever gold-greater over either than
over the two. If, therefore, silver has
been demonetized, l am in favor of
ordering it to be resumed. If it has
been restricted, | am in favor of hav-

just what is matter with the mail

a Change of Heart.

BIZ one of those strange condolences
that sometimes happen to men in polit'
ical life, the idolators OF Mr.. Glove
land to-day regard David b. Hill as
one of the greatest men in the nation.
4 year ago these Eastern hero-wor-
shippers could say nothing TOO mean
against Hill because of his antipathy
to Cleveland. Now, however, that
MIR. Hill is an advocate of the gold
standard and defends Mr.. Cleveland in
many un-Democratic preferences, all
the Clevelandites have come TO regard
David B. as very great man; in fact
second to none but Grover, himself.
His speech in the late convention they
term a singularly able and logical one,
and can't understand why everybody
doesn't fully agree with the sentiments
therein expressed. That speech, with
a few slight diversions, was chiefly an
argument in favor of the gold standard.
1t may have been an able one but our
gold bug friends must not be impatient
when we say we doubt the sincerity of
the speaker Mr.. Hill used to be for
free silver and it wasn't so long ago,
other. When he first saw the golden
light of the single standard, we do not
know. But listen to the following,
written by Mr.. Hill just three years
ago when the repeal of the Sherman
law was under consideration:
81 am in favor of bimetallism as the
issue of the future. We should seek
to keep that issue to the front. We
should not strive for temporary sue
cess or compromise. We should be
for free coinage under an International
agreement, if it be possible to procure
one, and for which every exertion
should be made, and if not possible,
then for independent bimetallism.
This is one great goal for which we
should strive. 1t cannot be done at
once. Our friends must not be i'm
patient. The people must be educa-
ted. The unexpected action of Indi-
ana and the general sentiment of the
monied classes consnire against US at
this time. | do not believe in the
Bland bill Or any other measure which
guarantees anything less than an un-
restricted coinage for gold and silver
alike, as pledged in the Democratic
national platform. Let US prepare
not for present victory, but for victory
upon that issue in 1896. The repeal
of the Sherman law will not give the
relief which is anticipated. 1t will aid
business temporarily, but in a year
times will be hard and the demand for
permanent financial relief will be ir-
resistible. We should continue to hold
out free coinage as the goal which the
country must ultimately reach. The
triumph of the monometallists will be
but temporary"

WORK OF THE NEEDLEwoMEN.
The Savannah Guild to Hold Its An
nual Meeting This Week.

The Savannah branch of the Needle
Work Guild of America will hold its an
nua meeting at the Guards hall Tuesday,
at IL O'Clock The meeting is held for the
election Of officers and other purposes. 1t
is not confined to members of the guild,
however, but all interested in the work
are invited. large gathering of ladies
interested in charitable work is expected
The needle work guild has been at work
in Savannah only little over a year, but
in that time has demonstrated its useful
ness as an adjunct to the work of other
charitable societies. Each member is re-
CURED to contribute two new and service
able garments annually This is the only
requirement There is no specification as
to how garments furnished should be pro-
cured. They may be bought ready made
or made at home. The class of garments
furnished is left to the discretion of the
members. A member may give as many
garments as she pleases, but must not
give less than two. At a specified time
the garments are collected and the man
ner of their distribution decided upon
The officers of the Savannah branch are
as follows:
Honorary President-Mrs. Max Wolff,
No. 172 Taylor street.
President-Mrs. David Wells, No. &C
Charlton street.
Secretary-Ndiss NJ. Reid, No. "a State
street.
Treasurer-Miss F. Prendergast No Ill
First avenue.
The Savannah branch has eleven sec
tons, with the following presidents: Mrs.
David Wells. Mrs. e. D. baltimore, Miss
Jennie Willink, Mrs. A. NJ. Williams, Miss
NJ. Richmond. Mrs. j. Rowan, Miss Julia
Myddelton, Mrs. E. R. Gibbs Mrs L. A
Falligant, Mrs. James Sullivan, Mrs e
w. Kent.
A section consists of a president, sec
rotary, at least three directors ami their
members and is required to return annu-
ally not less than ITO garments. Each
president, secretary and director of a Sec
ton is required to secure at least ten
members, making a m nimum of fifty-tive
members for each section.
The section presidents form the com
mittee for management and distribution.
There are only two meetings in a year,
one for the election of officers and the
other for the distribution of garments, so
that the government of the society is sim
pie and the duties of the members light.
The guild distributed last year 160 gar
ments and expects to distribute more this
year.
The Savannah branch is a member of
the Needlework Guild of America, with
headquarters in Philadelphia The ma
tional guild now has branches in nearly
every city in the country, and is doing an
immense work. Its contributions are dis
tributed chiefly to homes. hospitals and
other charitable institutions. 1t is nom
sectarian, and its contribution prohibits
distribution through the churches.
The next distribution of garments by
the Savannah Guild will probably be made
through the various charitable societies
of the city, which have need for the gar
ments for those under their care. The
membership of the guild is not limited to
women, but includes men, women and
children. The guild is doing a good and
much needed work, and is deserving of
the hearty support of all classes.

A savannah Enterprise.

Every man, woman and child In the
world furnishes work for the laundry. OF
late the old-timed washwoman has had
to take a back seat and find other employ
ment than serubbing clothes on rough
washboard The Chinaman, too, has lost
his popularity with his highly polished
shirts and collars.
Their place has been usurped by the
steam laundry. which has lately followed
the rapid progress of the times and ac-
cented all of the latest improved machin-
cry which makes labor easy and brings
forth perfection in the washing and IRON
ing of wearing apparel
One of the leading enterprises Of this
kind in the south is the Savannah steam
laundry, conducted by the Savannah
Steam Laundry Company, of which NJ
Prayer is. president and G. A. Brock, Sec
rotary and treasurer. While the COM
pany have an uptown office at lSl Con-
gress street, where soiled linen is re-
ceived and clean garments delivered
there are few people, even in the city,
who have an idea of the extensive works
of the company which is situated on
Lumber street. between Margaret and
Zubly streets.
The building is one-story, built Of BRICK
and is 80 by $50 feet in dimensions. There
is ample room on either side Of the build
ing for the accommodation of the COM
panys stables, where about hfteen horses
and wagons are kept.
Inside of the building is a busy work.
shop from Monday morning until Satur-
day night. About sixty operators are
N the various de-
partments. They are mostly Savannah
girls.
1t is interesting to watch the different
processes through which the clothes go
before they are ready to be delivered TO
the customer. First, the bundles are sent
to the marking and sorting ROOM Dir
ferent qualities and colors are consigned
to their particular bins, from which they
are taken to the immense revolving boil
ers, or washers, where they are given
thorough shaking up for about an hour,
and carried through several baths OF soap
suds and clear water before they are ready
to enter the rlnser, machine which
takes all of the water out of the clothes
in a minute. without the least friction or
damage to the garments.
Then comes the drying process. For
this the company have lately had erected
two patent drying rooms, which are per-
feet in their workings. The temperature
in the rooms is kept up TO 200 degrees
Fahrenheit, and as the dry steam is in
jected 1t absorbs the moisture from the
clothes, and passes out into a patent con-
denser which, in turn. absorbs the n1ois-
ture and sends the steam back to the
rooms to again return with more mois-
ture from the clothes. In few moments
the clothes are ready to go to the ironers.
Here the various kinds of garments are
consigned to the various machines adapt
ed TO each particular style and in very
short order the entire batch Of clothes
is ready to be assorted and put in pack
ages for delivery.
The work OF the Savannah steam laun.
dry is first class In every respect, and Is
equal to that done by the manufacturers
of the finest goocs. In fact, every piece
of goods resembles that which comes
direct from the haberdasher or dress
maker.
