fear that the interests represented will

not in the hands Of congresses or sen.

against any member Of congress who
should dare to i!npeach the motives Of
these money kings. And Ingalls,, tho

WHAT TIE GOLD MEN WANT

Would Mako Return to Bimetallisu
Well Nigh Impossible.
Referring to the recent lneeting Of
gold monomotallists at Indianapolis the
Detroit News remarks:
What these people want il the adop-
tion Of o financial course which will
render it difficult or impossible for the
next silver administration to adopt the
bimetallic standard. 1t is not the gold
standard they are fighting for, for that
they have now. They want to get the
gold standard nailed down so effectual-
ly that no victorious silver party can
get it in fl VT years.
They know that the conditions of this
moment are moro favorable than they
are likely to be again for return to
silver without financial jar. They want
to change all this so as to make return
to bimetallism as disturbing to business
as possible,
To this end their first move will be to
retire The groenbaclis and in payment
issue $346, 000, 600 of gold bearing
bonds They will FIJI the gap, if it is to
be filled, with an increased hank note
circulation payable i'll gold only, for
there will be no greenbacks III which to
pay and not enough silver to cause
anybody to want to pay i'll that These
people can be trusted to fix up the mat
ter, if they are permitted But they
have gone to work the wrong way.

TIE BEST FORM OF PAPER MONEY.

He Admits That the Credit of tho Gov

Concerning the First Bond Issue.
The most important utterance on the
currency question since the election is
to be found in letter written by Sena-
tor Sherman TO Albert H. Walker of
Hartford early in December and now
printed for the first time, says the St.
Louis Post Dispatch. In it Senator Sher.
man announces that ho is not in sym
pathy with the proposed movement tc
retire United States notes or greenbacks,
which is now part Of the Wall street
policy, indorsed by Cleveland and Car
lisle The letter is as follows:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
MAgrlNGToH, Dec. z, 1870
| Mr.. Albert H. Walker:
MY DEAR SIR--Your kind noto OF the 2Stl
ult. is received. do not sympathise with the
movement to retire United States notes from
circulation. l believe II is easy to maintain
| limited amount Of these In circulation with
out danger or difficulty The maintenance In
circulation OF $34G, 100000 United States notes,
supported Dy u TpSCTVN OF EOlu, uOl
only saves tho interest on $240, ,0OO0 coo Of debt,
but is n vast convenience to the people Mt
large. The best form of paper money Is that
e hich Is backed by the government and main.
tained of the specie standard. The absolute
fycrrl!y Of these notes was never called l;
question after the resumption OF specie pny-
ments in 1870 until tho reserve was being
trcnchcd upon to meet deficiencies In current
revenue brought about by what is known ns
tho Wilson tariff law Of 1894. Very truly yours
JoHs SHERMAN.
There is confession and also his,
torical inaccuracy in this statement.
The confession is that tho credit anc
faith cf the government can maintain
the value Of money intrinsically worth
less. Such confession before the late
election Senator Sherman was unwill-
ing to make.
The historical inaccuracy is in the
statement that the first bond issue to
maintain the gold reserve was forced by
the Wilson tariff law. The bond issue
preceded the operation Of the Wilson
tariff law Mr.. Foster, President Har-
rison's secretary Of the treasury is on
record admitting that plates were pre-
pared for bond issue before President
Harrison retired from office.
Revenues declined under the McKin-
ley tariff of 1890, as Senator Sherman
knows, and continued to decline under
the administration Of Mr.. Cleveland.
The Post-Dispateh does not believe,
however, that these declines forced the
depletion of the gold reserve The de-
pletion was the result Of Wall street
raids on the treasury, invited by the
lawless policy of redeeming all coin
notes and treasury obligations in gold.
With another Mckinley tariff prohib-
iting importations in many lines and
enlarging the free list for reciprocity"
purposes, revenues will again decline,
Is it possible Senator Sherman does not
know this? Or is he preparing for more
gold raids and more bond issues?

TRoueLous TIMES AHEAD.
Confidence Not RESTORED by the Success
of "Sound Money"

Confidence Not Restored by the Success,
of "sound Money"
The sudden and severe financial col
lapse in tho northwest, by which sc
large a capital is wiped out and so ex-
tended business community paralyzed,
is very naturally the more remarked
aud commented upon because coming
right on the heels Of the election to the
presidency CT tie candidate who was
heralded as the advance agent of pros
perity."
1t is only few weeks since the col
umns of our Republican contemporaries
were filled with rejoicings over the GER
tainty Of better times and with conf
dent assurances that they were close at
hand. The Rubicon was passed, and pov-
erty and idleness were to be known no
more forever in the land. The magic of
"sound money"-that is, of less money
was to solve every problem and fill
every mans pocket 1t was only neces-
sary that the people should declare
against the free coinage Of silver, and
IOTtllWllu All tuS DlSSSllBS OI BOOu IOT-
tune would be secured to us.
1t is observable, also, that these vaunt-
ings and predictions were most effica-
cious in Illinois and it's adjacent states.
The most energetic appeals to the bust
ness classes, the most audacious com
pulsion Of employees, took place in that
region. All financial institutions were
made to contribute to Boss Hanna's
fund, and free suffrage was crucified be-
tween bribery and terrorism. And it is
exactly in the same locality that the
prevalent panic now exists, and the To-
cal banks, which took so great an inter
est in the Mckinley election, are burst
ing and exploding in every direction.
Confidence seems to have departed, and
distrust and apprehension reign in it's
place.
If all this trouble breaks out in the
section of the Union which, by its re.
lection Of Democratic principles under
the temporary influence Of dclusion, be-
fore the advance agent Of prosperity"

Big Damage Suit
Growing Out Of the G. y. & II. Receiy-
ership-InjunciiOn to Prevent Fur
thCr Application for Receiver.

Lancaster Gazette.
Hon. ID. l.. Sleeper and his asso.
ciates, who, il is alleged, caused the
Columbus, Sandusky and Hooking
Railroad company to be placed in
the hands of a receiver several days
ago at Logan by Judge Wright OF
the common pleas court have been
sued for 100000 damages. II. L.
Sleeper, Elias NJ. PoSton, George
w. Saul, Morris II. D0nahue and
Herbert B. Butler are made de-
PENDANTS in the suit.
The petition states that none OF
the defendants are stockholders, or
otherwise interested in the com
pnny, but nevertheless formed a
conspiracy TO injure and annoy the
company by procuring, if possible,
receiver for the company. In con
clusion the company says that the
appointment Of receiver who
held possession of their property
from January IT to January IS,
greatly injured its credit aud bust
ness and by depriving it Of the
possession of its property, and has
incurred expenses of costs, counsel
fees and otherwise in procuring the
discharge of the receiver to its
damage in the sum Of 100000, for
which IL asks judgment.
The suit was filed by Lawrence
Maxwell, jr., eX-solicitor general Of
the United States; Judge Gilbert
II. Stewart of Columbus, Frank a.
Durham of GAINESVILLE and Mr.. Ray
mond f. Guerin.
About the middle of the after
noon, Wednesday, the c. S. & II.
road company filed suit against
the same defendants and Annie
Nj. Bonebrake and Samuel j. Flirk-
niger, to enjpin them from any
further moves toward the appoi%t-
ment Of a receiver, without first
giving notice to the officials Of the
company OF theii intention. The
petition charges that the defend
ants have been for long time con
spring together for the fraudulent
purpose of injuring and destroying
the property and effects Of the COM
pany by institutlng fraudulent and
Illegal suits for the purpose Of
plrcing the company in the hands
Of 4 receiver for their personal
benefit and without the consent
and against the wishes of the own
ers and creditors OF the property.
The petition says that neither
Sleeper, Donahue, Butler, Saul or
P0ston is a creditor or stakeholder
o! the road or otherwise interested
In it.
The petition was presented to
Judge ID. @. Badger, of Columbus,
who allowed the Injunction restrain
ing the bringing of an action for II
receiver without notifying the
officials OF the company.

LANGUOR CONTINUES.
Prosperity Still Lacks the viGor Necessary
For Business.

Some ultra Republican papers, restiye
under the sportivo criticism Of the tardi-
ness Of prosperity il returning, are now
claiming rather vccifcrously that the
Republicans, and especially Major Nc
Kinloy, did not promise an immediate
resumption Of good times. This claim
is open to serious dispute, bat for the
present let it pass, We can afford to
wait
The tariff bill, now in course of pre-
pGraticn by the committee on ways and
means and to be railroaded through the
next congress Mt an extraordinary ses-
sion, is put forward as means of stir
ring up business. If the languor should
continue after the new tariff law has
gone into operation, somebody is going
to be held TO dircful responsibility.
The effect Of tariff legislation, men and
brethren, is as uncertain as horse race.

A PRETTY SCHEME.
Mckinley VIII Give Us Prosperity by In
creasing Taxation.

creasing Taxation.
Mr.. Mckinley declared weeks before
the election that it was "better to open
the mills TO labor than to open the
mints to the worlds silver" Mr.. Nc
Kinley followed up his invention of
this campaign slogan by declaring that
his method Of opening the mills TO Ia
Dor was to increase the price Of the
products Of the mills and thus enable
them 10 make higher profits.
1t is a very snug scheme all the way
through. We don't pretend to know
how tho Republicans can restore pros
perity and increase the wealth Of the
country by increasing taxation, but that
is none Of our business. Atlanta Con-
stitution.

Special Notice to Readers

We have made a very
positive rule to be
followed by a ccntrac t
wi tn our other county
papers, whi CHI will 60
into effect on March
1st to the effect t tina t
on and af ter that date
not a paper will go
out of this office or
any newspaper office
in the county unless
it j paid for in ad-
vance, and each paper
that you receive will
have on it your name,
address and the date
of the expiratio t on of
your subscription.
Those that are behind
and do not pay up and
pay on in advance, will
find their paper stop
ped and their account
placed in the hands of
a Collecting agency
for collection. Any
paper that you get out
side of your home
paper at present you
pay cash for before
you get it, and you
know your home Edi tor
i S a S needy as they,
and you should do the
same here. We give you
lO4 papers for 81. 90;
more sheets of paper
than you could buy
blank for that money;
our labor and pos tage
for no thing. We are
willing to continue to
do this, but i t will
take the ca sh to get
it. We have run a semi
weekly for nearly
three years, and find
that the only way to
make end S meet is to
establish a cash sub
scr ipt i on Ii S t. In
this way when we send
out our good hard work
we know we got some
thing for it. 1t is
not fair to the good
people that do pay, to
have many of their
neighbors receive the
s ame benefits and pay
no thing.
After the 1st day Of
March your paper will stop
if you are not paid in ad-
vance.
