Many of them, in their anxiety, mad
purchased it from bullion dealers at a
premium; but when they endeavored
to sell it back again to these same
dealers and at the sub-treasury, they
were informed that there was no longer
any premium upon the yellow metal.
They had doubted the wisdom and pa
triotism of the nation and was per-
haps, but just that they should
pay for it. Indeed the sub-treas-
ury would not receive gold in
exchange for legal tenders. This, how
ever was not a matter of policy but

which would engage the attention of
the clerical force for week or so.
Until the deferred work of the office is
attended to no gold will be received at
the sub-treasury. The people who
have stored away gold in safe deposit
vaults and other places of safety are
naturally anxious to unload it as rap
idly as possible as it is not only not
earning them anything, but is a con-
slant expense to them. Since the cleo
ton of Mckinley and Hobart the coun-
try knows that every dollar in circu
lation will continue, for the next four
years at least, to be as good as gold
dollar.
There is now a general disposition
upon the part of men who have money
to put it to work and make it earn
them something. The building of en-
largements to industrial plants has
already begun. New railroads will be
built; new resources developed.
When Congress assemblies, under the
new administration, it will have serious
work before it, The tariff must be SC
revised as to furnish ample revenue for
the current expenses of the govern
ment, and, at the same time, all neces-
sary protection to our industries. Some
means must be devised to prevent fur
Their drains upon the gold reserve, and
such other measures passed as will
conduce to the peace and welfare OF
the country.
The American people have had a
surfeit of politics during the past few
months. They are now ready to get
down to business. Let labor and cap
ital work together tremendously for
common benefits. Let the fires be re-
lighted in the big furnaces, and the
wheels in the big factories he agar
put in motion. When labor is en-
ployed at good wages, the far
mer will have a profitable home mar
ket. the merchants will have good pay
ing customers and everyone will share
in the general prosperity.

DAY OF THANKSGIVING AND

Refraining on that day from all I'M
necessary labor and business. let us. in
the temples of worship, and at the family
fireside, offer grateful tributes of praise
and song, for Gods gracious favors.
And in the reunions of families kindred
and friends, may the love of home and the
affection for our Commonwealth be
strengthened, and may the sincerity of
our thankfulness and gratitude find ex-
preston in deeds of charity and kindness,
towards the poor and unfortunate.
