self with the idea that the only enemy
he has to combat is the goldbug. There
are others. The copper bug is abroad in
the land. His arguments are finding

Every argument advanced for free sill

The money of the poor is copper. 1t has
been coined into money by nearly all
the nations of the earth for thousand
years.
If the government with its stamp can
make Oh cents of silver worth "A full dol
lar, it can make cents worth of copper
worth 81.
If the 53 cent silver dollar will bring
prosperity and give money TO all the
people, the 3 cent copper dollar will
bring those blessings in greater measure.
If the debtor can save ~ cents on
every dollar under free silver, he can
save 81 cents on every dollar bv paving
with cent copper dollar.
The copper bug certainly has better
scheme than the silver bug If the argu
ments of the silver bug are sound. those
of the copper bug are sounder.

Why lie Leave. iii. PARTY.

Mr. Samuel Dickson OF Philadelphia,
a lifelong Democrat and an influential
citizen, has resigned as presidential
elector on the Democratic ticket Among
other reasons for his action he gave the
following:
II is merely paltering with the truth
TO pretend 10 acquiesce in the expert
ment of trying to make the product OF
a days labor in silver mine worth
two or five times ms much as the product
of days labor in gold or an iron
mine. At the present time the results
OF days work in one occupation are
worth approximately and in the long
run as much as in any other To affix
an artificial value upon silver ore is o
dishonest and unjust discrimination
against every other form of industry,
and when it is done by calling it legal
tender II is done at the expense Of every
class in the community except the money
lenders and the money changers.
With currencies Of different value in
circulation. the money lenders always
thrive at the expense of the people, and
the debtor must suffer more than the
wage Garner. 1t was a favorite saving
OF Lord Pamerston that "A high rate of
interest meant bad security, and the
owner of money must charge for the
risk if there is chance that when he
lends bar of gold he may be forced to
take payment i'll bar of silver, just as
the owner of a horse will hesitate 10
lend it with a chance of being given in
return sheep or ~ pig That is all
there is in bimetallism as a practical
question as between the lender and the
borrower, and. so stated, it ought to be
easy to understand why, until it is
stated, hundreds of millions of capital
are lying idle which would be at the
service of the south and west if they
were willing to give back what they got.

A TRAMP TO WASHINGTON.
Walking Match Between Two BaItI-
more Society Men.

more Society Men.
From the Baltimore American
Much interest is being taken In club cir
tween Baltimore and Washington to he
participated in by Mr.. Richard II. Worth
ington and Mr. John c. b. Pendleton, both
members OF the Baltimore Club. The walk
was arranged several days ago, and the
start was to have been made yesterday.
but Mr.. Pendleton was suddenly called to
New York to see his father, who had just
arrived from Europe and is sick. On Mr.
Pendleton's return to Baltimore a date will
be set for the match.
Mr.. Worthington is a son OF the late Mr.
William c. Worthngton. and resides at
lib North Charles street. For some time
past Mr.. Worthington has been taking long
walks in the country. He has also been on
several 'tramping'' parties. few even
ings ago he remarked in the Baltimore
Club that he could easily walk to Washing
ton, a distance of forty miles. The club
was crowded at the time and a number OF
his friends laughed at the idea He then
took the matter up in earnest and said he
would walk the distance in one day, just to
show his friends that he could accomplish
the task, and also that he was in good
physical condition. When il was found
that he was in earnest, Mr.. Pendleton said
he would join him in the walk. 1t was pro-
posed that the start be made early yester-
day morning, and all arrangements had
been made, when the unexpected DELAY
mentioned occurred.
Several years ago similar match was
arranged between Mr.. Swami Latrobe and
Mr.. Frank Key Howard. Both gentlemen
were successful, and walked the distance in
good time.
