through the divinity Of human rights
Shall she go on in this course, lift
ing the hopes of all people, and bright
ening the skies of all nations, or shall
she abdicate her high position, get on
to the low plane of brute force, and
move along the barbaric road of tin
sci. oppression, misery and death?
These are some of the questions that
confront our people?
Let them but clearly understand and
there will be no doubt about the is
sue.
My friends, look up; this republic
mas not yet performed it's mission.
1t is not going to fail-Liberty will
not die-the human race is about to
move forward.
Something like Industrial and flnan-
cial freedom will be established
Social and political reforms will
yet come.
While we can not name the day or
the hour, yet the mighty movement in
which we are all laboring is going to
bring the human race to a higher
plane.
The Almighty is cutting a road
through the forest and it's coming is
scheduled on the calendars of des-
tiny.

1T Is TO LAUGH.

what is the reason" Indignantly
exclaims Senator Davis, taking his ear
from the ground, that this tariff rate,
anomalous, unheard of, unprecedented.
and temporary, should be applied to
Puerto Rico, while the other day bill
was passed in the other house appro-
priating 100000 for Puerto Rico
from the treasury
The answer is not far to fetch. One
reason is, it enables the trusts to alb
sorb the tariff money and also the
donation; a double profit, see? An
other reason is to give Senator Davis
and other Hannaites an opportunity &c
hoodwink the dear people with tnei'
pretended humanity.

BRIGHT DAYS FOR DEMOCRACY.

Looking over the field we see the
most hopeful signs of Democratic sue
cess. There is hardly a state in the
union where the party. with good man
agement, does not have what is calieo
a fighting chance. 1t is practically GER
tain that the next house of representa-
tives will be Democratic. The voters
will not tolerate that significantly sus-
picious subserviency which has leo
majority of the Republican congress

MONEY MARKEr FACTORS.

No gold taken for export yesterday, and 1t
was reported that the Bank OF England had de-
cided to discontinue for the present interest on
gold acquired for shipment to London. II this
proves to be true gold exports from here will STOP
unless sterling exchange should make material
advance. There some signs Of reaction In
sterling rates yesterday and higher quotations
not expected. Cali money ruled at per cent. and
IN the time money market few loans were
ported at 51s per cent on railroad collateral. The
average brokers' loan. however, made at s
per cent. London discounts were quoted to houses
which have recently exported gold at 494A per
cent, that operates against further gold
exports at present.
