JACKSONVILLE, oct. The government
has put a strict watch upon Jacksonville,
to prevent any nlibustering expedition
from leaving port The cSuiser Newark

to the river is to be had The revenue cut

the stream at the foot of Liberty street,

are tied at the same wharves. Captain
kilgorc, of the Boutwell,, said that both
cutters would remain here to prevent a
su spected expedition from getting away.
The inference was also drawn from his
remarks that the stay of the Newark Mt
tie mouth of the river will be indefinite.
Captain Kilgore has positive instruc-
lions not to allow any of the alleged fill
clustering vessels to leave port without
permission of the collector Of customs,
who in turn communicates with the treas

the Dauntless left for Brunswick, Ga. on
Monday to engage in towing. The Com

do some towing on the coast, and it was
given permission to go providing an officer

tied up at the wharf watched by the two

Besides all this deputy marshals are
stationed on the Three Friends and the

The great majority of the voters of

earn their wages by hard work They
naturally desire their dollars-whether they
be of gold silver or grccnbacks-to have as

stated, Mr.. Shepherd, that you are in favor Of
the Chicago platform, which declares for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of rs to l. In unison with Bryan and
other free silver advocates, it is reasonable to
suppose that you believe the adoption of free
coinage Of silver will raiac the price Of all
commodities With this increased cost
of living, will the wages of the miners and
others be correspondingly increased? Can
you cite an instance where wages have risen
with the increased price of the necessares Of
life? If you believe the gold standard dollar
buys too much, how are the wagc-eamcrs to
