that very few willing hands would be
out OF work IL we had free coinage Of
silver. The great West to-day would
afford q thousand times more and better
opportunities than could be imagined in
Alaska, il the great industry Of gold and
silver mining were allowed to be devel-
oped, as formerly. by the free coinage Of
both metals"

II is delicious to read the papers from

London is the worlds money centre, and
in peace or war she can dictste to the

class to keep the worlds debts perpetu-
assd. and thus to keep the rule OF the

RErROGREssION.

The Salt Lake Tribue says il doubtless
will be . great delight to the gold power
of the East to learn that two Park City,
Utah, silver mines giving employment to
600 men, and on which 5000 people have
for years been dependent for . livelihood,
have been forced to close down. They
ought to send down to Princeton. or ont
to Buzzard's Bay, and bring in the great
intellect that carried out their views so
beautifully four years ago, whose work
is now bearing perfect fruit, and give
him q banquet. The invited guests should
be Mr.. Bsyard, Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Wat.
terson. Secretary Sherman. Mr.. Pierpont
Morgan, Secretary Gage. Speaker Reed,
and Others Of the same class Of patriots,
not emitting the editors Of the Now
York and Philadelphia newspapers.
There should be mutual congratulations
over their achievement Of breaking down
the most important industry OF the Ma
tion. and the one on which production
leans for its profits. Their JOY over the
fact that the chains of serfdom seem to
be ct last securely welded on the necks
of the producing world ought to be very
great, for they toll not, neither do they
spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of them, and why
should they not rejoice when men who
work are stranded? 1t is g serious mat
ter here. 1t goes to the homes and lives
of men /; il breaks hopes and hearts,
and the destruction has but just begun.
The question in 10, 900 hearts is, why is
ID . p~enitentiary offense to crack a safe,
or FIRE o house, or hold up q stage, when
the great press of the country is filled
with exultation and rejoicing over the
destruction Of an industry on which the
hopes Of the world hang more than upon
any other? Does the East imagine that
it can escape the resultant effects OF this
catastrophe! II is much mistaken if it
does. II will need more soup-houses
this Winter than il did last ; it will have
more murders, more suicides, more vio-
lenoe and crime in every form. The
West will work out. It has . great
many more elements of wealth to turn
TO, but the East has not. In the econ
omy Of the world the civilization Of ma
tions 10 rated by the volume Of money
