TO THE coUNTRY's CHAMPIONS

Have you not lost faith, mankind,
In your nations rule;
Will you still be led on blind,
As the schemers tool?
Would you let your loved ones perish,
Aye from of the earth;
Would you not prefer to cherish
Those around your hearth?
Can you down the good to come,
If You think Alright;
Oruphold the bad that's gone
Against your country bright?
Can you not see right from wrong,
Ruin now so near?
Heed and make your country strong,
Save your nation dear.
Will you drive your own self mad,
All for want of food?
Will you keep the nation sad,
And melancholy brood?
o, armor for your country don,
For your country fight
The brightest spot the sun shines on,
O, save it from blight.
Bold is the stand corruption takes,
Hanna at its head;
Like a gambler money stakes,
For your country, dread.
VIII you let him hold the sway,
OF his evil power?
viii you let him, day by day,
Crush you till you cover?
Will you stain the senate hall,
With his presence low,
Give him power over all,
This treacherous foe?
No! All, no! Rise in your might,
Cast him down, far down
The world will hold your country right
In respect and renown.

THE CURRENCY MESSAGE,
A Present Intention to Send 1t to Con-
gress on Monday.

Washington, July 9.-The main topic
of discussion before the cabinet at the
regular meeting to-day was the mes
sage on the subject of a currency COM
mission, which has been withheld for
few days in Difference to the wishes
Of many prominent republicans. After
considering all of the objections that
have been made against the presenta-
ton Of the message at the present ses-
sion of congress, the president and his
cabinet are still of the opinion that in
order to redeem party promises the
subject Of currency reform should be
treated in a message recommending the
creation of a special non-partisan COM
mission, and, unless there is another
change in the plans Of the president, he
will send the message to congress next
Monday.
