opinion he and his kind cannot do
as much towards destroying faith in
the church as do these heads OF the
church by their inconsistent course
on election day.
The Discipline further reads;
"The history of the slave-trade is
enough to make the West Coast
verify hate the name of those who
desolated her borders, and caused
her ebony Rachels to mourn for the
children who met a fate worse than
death. Worse than night attacks;
worse than chains for innocent
babes; worse than the prostitution

N. A. Ledger:-Thc United
States is now selling to foreign ma
tons about SO 100000 day OF its
products. This ought to make
times better, but it will not as long
as a single gold standard is the
money basis Of the United States.
Give this country a circulating
metallic medium Of gold and silver,
and currency circulation OF green
backs and National Bank notes, in
sufficient volume to meet all the re-
|auirements of business, and pros
perity will follow in all the depart
ments Of manufactures, agriculture
and general trade. 1t is senseless
to talk about this country doing
business Of from two and a hall te
three billions Of dollars a year or
$500, 600, 900 Of gold coin, mor'
than one-half of which is CONSTANT,
locked up in the banks and the U
s. Treasury. The very suggestion
of such thing is an absurdity.

AGAINST NEWSPAPERS.
New Albany Ledger.

New Albany Ledger.
There is a class of men in the
Indiana Legislature this year, and
has been in other years, who would
never have been heard Of, and whose
candidacy or election to office would
have been impossible but for the
newspapers Of their respective
counties. And this is the class OF
men who make haste in Indiana's
General Assembly to cut down
to starvation rates the price OF legal
advertising, and open the doors OF
competition to class Of advertising
sheets that have not a single regu-
lar subscriber, and that circulate
their papers free in order the more
effectually to gull advertisers.
The entire regular press OF the
State should jump with both feet on
these demagogues and humbugs,
and never again permit the election
of single one Of them to the Leg.
lislature. One of the first acts OF
the present Legislature was the in
PRODUCTION of a bill to let the re
ports of Township Trustees to the
newspaper making the lowest bid
for their publication, thus virtually
ruling out the regular newspaper
press Of the State by opening thu
way to competing bids by advertis
ing sheets without standing or regu
lar and general circulation.
4 The passage Of this bill would be
an outrage on every regularly con
! Quoted newspaper in the State
! whether it be daily or weekly. Th'
press Of Indiana, without regard t
party, should watch this bill, ant
then use their entire influence t
defeat for Office hereafter ever.

Chandler's Attack.

Senator "Bill" Chandler's attack
on the gold standard heresy was a
hurled into the republi-
can camp. Some Of the newspa-
pers have sounded the alarm bell,
but the most OF them feel that they
are safe enough with Mr.. Gage in
the treasury. About the time the
agitation ceases "Bill" will shy
another hand grenade into the camp.
He means business, and has no al
fection for McKinleyism, or Mark
Hannaism either.
The Washington Post refers to
the recent Chandler episode in the
senate as follows:
eff Senator Chandler had kept
awake OF nights trying to make
the republican party he trouble for

full than when he delivered his
speech recently on bimetallism.
1t is quite evident that Mr..
Chandler is not going to allow GER
tain eminent gentlemen in his par
ty to forget that they were once
friendly to silver, or that the ma.
tional platform of last June declared
for bimetallism. Otherwise, why
should we have taken the trouble
yesterday to dig out OF the Con-
gressional Record all that Mr.. Will
liam Mckinley, once representa-
tive from the state Of Ohio, said in
days gone by as to the equality OF
silver and gold, and as to the alb
: solute necessity Of the two metals
standing side by side? Those
E were quite silvery speeches that Mr..
I Mckinley used to make, and Mr..
\ Chandler has resurrected them with
b ghoulish glee.

Can it be believed that the
Creator of the world and man made
no provision for the money His
creatures would need in transacting
the necessary business OF the worldY
1t seems impossible for a person
who believes in an all-wise and
kind God to believe that He made
no such provision. Nearly all who
believe in the God OF the bible be-
Ilieve that He made gold for money,
and that is true beyond all ques-
ton. The bible clearly teaches
that silver was made for money
Demonetizing silver takes from the
people one Of Gods blessings and
entails misery upon them.-Rush

mediocrity as Solon in the arena
of state legislation. In the present
session, there are several young
men who give indications OF becom-

the side of the minority in the
Senate, the man that, in our opin-
lion, is entitled to the crown OF lead
ship is the stalwart Senator from
dubois and Perry Counties, Sena-
tor NJ. A. Sweeney. He halls from

man of the kindliest disposition,
land it is doubtful if he has an ene-
