God Save the State.

AT Montgomery last Saturday, the
Republican Convention of this, the
Third District, nominated c. p. Dorr,
OF Webster county, for Congress-
May heaven have pity upon the peo-
pie if their laws are to be made by
mon like Dorr He has never had the
good opinion or confidence of any
party, Democratic or Republican,
and we regard his nomination not
simply as reflection upon the party
that conferred it, but as an insult to
the people of the entire District, re-
CARELESS of party. Republicans here
are as much shocked and Mortified at
the nomination as Democrats are,
and do not hesitate to deDounce the
action Of the Convention in the So
verest terms. They believe, as we
do, that Dorr bought the nomination
outright. Otherwise it Is difficult
to imagine how he could have de.
feated genteel, worthy and highly
respected man like Jos. III. Gaines,
Of Fayette. Let the people take the
pains to ascertain something of DORIS
general character and reputation, as
man and politician, then If they do
not bury him out of sight in the gen.
eral election in November, our con-
fidence In them will be badly shaken.

The Intrinsic Value Theory.

Our gold bug friends are constantly
talking about the intrinsic value of
gold. Gold has no intrinsic value,
as money, not possessed by silver or
copper. BY intrinsic quality of a
metal we mean a quality which in
heres in and constitutes or makes up
the nature of the metal, such as hard
ness, durability, ductility, mallea-
bility, &c. Such and other qualities
make q metal valuable for use in the
arts, but they add but little to the
value of a metal when used as money,
and moments thought will satisfy
any one that gold has no intrinsic or
inherent quality which gives it su-
periority over silver or copper, except
copper corrodes more easily. Iron
is i,atri,aSicdlty the most valuable of
all metals, because it possesses quail.
ties which give it larger use in the
arts; but, as money metal. iron is
unsuited, not because it's intrinsic or
inherent qualities are inferior to
those Of gold or silver, but simply
because the quantity of it is practic-
ally unlimited, which is not the case
with gold or silver. Gold has an in
trinsic value as money only so far as
its color pleases the eye, or it's quail
ties of hardness, malleability, &C.,
make 1t easily coined and convent
emily handled. But this is just as
true of silver or copper, and the in.
trinsic value of either for use as
money is in all respects equal to that
OF gold. 1t is evident then that
there is absolutely nothing in the in
trinsic value theory as applied to
gold as money, and this argument is
used in ignorance or else by the de-
signing to deceive the ignorant.
What Is it then that gives value to
gold? We answer: The fact that
mankind uses it as money; that the
governments Of the world coin it
into money which is made full legal
tender in the payment of debts, that
men use it mainly for this purpose,
and that it has never been discovered
In unlimited quantities so as to rem
DER lis use as money ineXpedient or
dangerous. All this is equally true
OF silver, except that many Of the
leading governments now refuse to
coin it into money of final payment,
and this wrong, be it the result of
folly or design, the Democratic party
is now trying to right.

Will They Listen TO Rlaina Z

No one ever questioned the pre-
eminent abilities of James G. Blaine
as statesman or politician. There
was q time when his word was law
and gospel with the Republican
masses, and it may be that that time
has not yet passed. If so, let Repub-
licans reflect upon the words of the
great statesman, so long the idol of
their party, as they read the plank
in the st. Louis platform declaring
for the maintenance of the single
gold standard. Here is what Mr..
Blaine said in a speech in the Senate
in 1880:
"On the much veXed and long
mooted question as to bimetallic and
mOnOmetallIc standard my own
views are sufficiently indicated i'm the
remarks | have made. | believe the
struggle now going on in this coun.
try aud in others for a single gold
standard, would, if successful, pro.
duce wide spread disaster in and
throughout the commercial world
The distrust of silver as money and
establishing gold as the sole unit of
value must have a ruinous effect on
all forms of property except those
which yield a fixed return in money,
Those would be enormously en-.
HANGED in value and would gain a dis.
proportionate and unfair advantage
over every other species of property.
If, as the most reliable statistics at
firm, there are nearly $1,000. 600, 200
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 which will prove distressing
to millions and utterly disastrous to
tens of thousands.
| believe gold and silver coin to be
the money Of the constitution in.
deed, the money of the American
people exterior to the constitution,
which the great organic law recog.
niZes as quite independent of its
own existence, No power was con.
ferred on Congress to declare either
metal should be money. Congress
has, therefore, in my judgment, no
power to demonetiZe either. If,
therefore, silver has been demone-
tiZed, | am in favor of remonetiZing
it. If its coinage has been prohib-
tied, am in favor Of having IL re-
sumed; | am in favor of having it
enlarged"

THE PoPULIsTs.-The National
Populist Convention convened at St.
Louis yesterday and is largely at
tended. There seems to be several
factions in the party. One of these
factions, which we hope may prove
to be in the majority, favors an out
and-out endorsement of Bryan and
Sewall to the end that there may be
union Of all free coinage advocates
in the pending contest for the free
mintage Of the white dollar. An
other, known as the keep-in-the-
iddle-ofthe-road" faction, wants
to nominate distinct Populist ticket
on a distinct Populist platform to the
end that the organization of the
party may be preserved. This fac
ton Is doubtless made up largely of
selfish politicians on the hunt of Of
flee. We will know in few days
what the result will be, but if patri-
otism and common sense prevail, the
convention will endorse Bryan and
Sewall and then adjourn.
