MR. THOMAS AGAIN. The speech of Juo. L. Thomas, of New York, cauvasser for the Beutley-Southgate national ticket, iu the court house here on Mon- day night, is worthy of more ex tended notice thau we were able to give in our local columns yes terday. It was a masterly effort, rich in facts, pure in logic a larcical eomcdv of the hvpocracv of church and political monopolist who not only crush out . the life blood of religion and patriotism, but the most sacred attributes of the srovenimcnt itself. The wholesome truths, and the most damning sarcasms were veiled in such luncuase and manner the culprits themselves applauded. , It was a masterly appeal to humanity for humanity's sake rich in hy perbole, anecdote and appropriate application of moral. Alluding directly to the politi cal monopoly which now controls the country (the duck hunting dy nasty ),ui most impressive voice he proclaimed that "Grover Cleve land was the arch robber of American citizens," and, later on, that he "has been the most mag nificent republican for the past four years." Alluding again to the financial fraud which has been practiced upon this country. and those upon whom the re siKDUsibilitv rest, rising on bis toes, with arms extended Heaven ward, with the voice of a Fatrick Henry, and tin manner of Cicero, he culminated bis grand perioration with "Grover Cleve land and John bherman will go down in the history of our coun trv in one Shiboleth of infamy." After his explanation "of the financial system his assertion that he "impeached the gold dollar as the most dishonest ever coined" touched a responsive cord in the hearts cf the audience. The pity is that such principles and plat form as be advocated will be left out by a large majority, and the technical divisions of those seek ing the same end may defeat the cause of right THK.V AND NOW. Are the worshippers of the gold en calf going back on their 'oracles?. Daniel Webster de elared for free coinage of silver in no unmistakable terms, contend ing that uuder the constitution Congress could not prevent its be ing a legal tender money. Jan es G. Blaine, the 'worship ped leader of the Republican nartv, whose brains and states manship they all leaned on itn plieity, in the last speech be made in Congress said "the single gol standard would produce wide spread disaster." Until recently no voice has ever been raised against the promi ticiK of the free silver plank in the Democratic platform, wbic has been adopted every year for the past quarter of a century. Yet, now, we bear the cry cf "anar dust," and like Miotic expres sions coming from men who have used these same platforms to ste; into office on. .Some men who once supored lauded, worshipped and idolized J. O. Blaine, the strongest man t'i republican party ever bad in it ranks, today ?&j that all free .iilver advocates aught to carry red fliigs so they could be recog' nized and shot down on sight be cti!e they are anarchists ami idiots. " Is this consistent with the view these men once held and advo rated? Hear the words of the .nue James O. Blaine on the ti ver questkn, as follows: "I believe the fctraggle now go mg on in tins country and in other countrje for a single gol tandird would, if ftucccssful, pro duce widespread disahtcr in and througliout the commercial world. Thedestradion of silver as money, and establishing gold as the sole unit of value, must have a ruin ous effect on all forms of property except those investments which yield a fixed return in money. These would be enormously on- hanced in value, and would -gain disproportionate and unfair ad- antage over other species of prop erty. If, as the most reliable statistics affirm, there are nearly $7,000,000,000 of coin of bullion in the world, not very unequally di vided between gold and silver, it is impossible to strike silver out of existence as money without results that will prove distressing to mil- ioes and utterly disastrous to tens of thousands." These are the words of the great Blaine, and the people cannot be duped by a crowd of Mugwumps and turn coats who are going around over the country, as agents for Rothchild and the Wall Street crowd, and are crying out "anar chist" for the purpose of turning honest msn. Has not the pre diction of Blaine came true? Is there not "widespread disaster in and throughout the commercial world" today? 18 THIS PLAIN ENOUGH T The London ; Financial News printed the following editorial on the American silver question in one of its recent issues. It has a whole lot of gospel truth in it that it would be well for our peo ple to heed: . " , "There is a plain moral in the remark that if the United States would venture to cut herself adrift from Europe and take outright to silver she would have all Amer ica and Asia at her back and the command of the markets of both countries. The barrier of gold would be more fatal than any barrier of a custom bouse. The bond of free silver would be stronger than any bond of free trade. There can be no doubt about it that if the United States were to adopt a silver basis to moirow British trade would be ruined before the year was out. Every American would be pro tected, not only at borne, but in every other market. Uf course the United States would suffer to a certain extent through having to pay ber obligations abroad in gold, but the loss of exchange under this bead would be a" mere drop in the bucket aa compaired to the profit to be reaped from the markets of South America and Asia, to say nothing of Europe. The marvel is that the United States have not long ago seized the opportunity. It has been a piece of luck that it has never oc curred to the Americans to scoop ns out of the world's markets by going on a silver basis, and it might serve us right if, irritated by the contemptible apathy of our government toward the silver problem, the Americans retaliated by freezing out cold. It could be easily done." 1 I5KLIKVK IN GOLD AN1 HILVEIl. Hon. James Q. Blaine, the great republican leader and statesman, who now sleeps in his quiet grave, was in favor of the free coinage of silver and gold. While be lived his party trusted him implicitly and to do bis bidding was an honor. When an argument of any kind came up Blaino was left as an authority on the great monetary question, which is now foremofet in the minds of the Ameiican people, be said: "I believe gold and silver coin to be the money of the Constitu tion, indeed, the money of the American people anterior to the Constitution, which the great or ganic law recognized as quite in dependent of ita own existence. No power was conferred ou Con gress to declare that cither metal should not be money, Congress has, therefore, in my judgment, no i-owcr to demonetize silver any more than to demonetize gold; no power to demonetize either any more than to demonetize both. In this statement I am repeating the weighty dictum of the first con stitutional lawyers. If, therefore, silver has been demonetized, lam in favor of rcmonctizing it If its coinage has been prohibited, I am in favor of ordering it to be re sumed. Hit has been restricted, I am in favor of having it en larged." i , wonns of dr. talmage. The Rev. . Dr. T Dewitt Tat mage in speaking of the. great monetary question alter he had returned from an extended tour of the Southern States, said: "If the silver people win, I believe there will be such a revival in business, such a booming in indus tries which are now inactive, aud such a general shaking up of commercial interests that the country will be sure to prosper." The reverend gentleman, who is one of the greatest preachers of today, is a keen observer, and can see which way the wiud blows as quickly, with as much certainty as the shrewdest politician. He does not only preach to the peo ple, but ho mingles with them feeling , the popular pulse and searching the hearts of his countrymen. "My associations and train ing and my political affiliations of the past place me on the side of a single standard," he cau tiously ; said, and then, as a twinkle came into his eye, he added: "But instead of disaster and ruin following in the wake of the silver movement, the op posite will be the result. The above, coming from as great a man and thinker as Dr. Talmage, should be give consid eration and thought. The silver movement is fast gaining ground. AS TO MOXOPOMKS. . Politicians, both on the stump and in the press no matter to wbatparCy they claimed alligiance, for ten years have hurled their anathemas at the trust and combines. W itb this as their war cry, they have time aud again ridden into office upon the galled shoulders of a distressed and over credulous people, ' The record of their legislation fails to show one single instance in which they have made even feeble attempt to carry out their pledges to the people as to this matter. ; Why? Because they themselves were members and beneficiaries of that most baneful and putrid monopoly of politics, beside which all other trust and monopolies aro only drops on the ocean wave beside which all other wrongs are bless ings. They have organized a monop oly of government, strong, far- reachinir and death dealing to liberty and common humanity, without which the private trust could no more exist than an elephant could go through the eye of a cambric needle. It is to be hoped that the lead ers of the State now assembled in Raleigh will not attempt to give either a mononly on the most sacred richts of the people of North Carolina, but that they will be patriotic enough to let the masses come in for a share of the blessings which will quickly ac crue when the great party monop oly shall have assigned without asset", A Mammoth HUif, The largest block of stone ever quarricu a prouaoiy we one jusi obtained from one of the quarries of Belgium. The block measures 10,800 cubic feet aud weighs over 7,900,000 pounds. As it stands cow in the quarry it is worth about 15,000.
