Carlisle, delivered in the House of Representatives in 1878:! "1 know that the world's stock of the precious metals is none too large, and I see no reason to apprehend that it wi 1 ever1 become so. Mankind will be for tunate Indeed if the annual production of gold and silver ;shall keep pace with the annual increase oi population, com merce and industry.;. According' to my view of vtbe subject, the conspiracy which seems tar have been formed here and in Europe to destroy by legislation from three-sevenths to one-half - the metallic money of the world is the most gigantic crime, of this or any other age. The consummation of such a j scneme would ultimately entail more mis ery upon the human race than all the - wars, pestilence and famine that ever oc- . cur red in the history of the world. The absolute and instantaneous destruction of half the entire movable property of the world, including houses, ships, railroads . and alt other appliances for carrying on commerce.while it would be felt sensibly at the moment would not produce any thing like the prolonged distress and dis organization of society that must inevi tably result from the permanent annihi lation oi one-half the metallic money j in tne woria. i 1 i extract irom a letter written by Hon.; Hoke Smith, td Col.

A reduction of the tariff generally and especially on the necessaries of life." ;, , v ; ' A QUESTIOJf OF SELF PEESEE- '--. ! : VATIOIT. : Self preservation is one of the first . laws of nature and it governs the community, the State or the nation. , as much as t j does the individual. Nations sometimes go to war to pro ject themselves not only from im pending dangers, but from dangers 4 remote, but-: dreaded ; as among the probabilities. Some of the greatest wars that the world has ever seen iwere waged not to escape dangers that then confronted, but to prevent the conditions that in the future threatened probable peril. Why are Hhe leading nations of - Europe to-day watching eacbj' other with sleepless vigilance? And why when we Teal of a strategic move by one do- we almost simultaneously read of a counter move by some of the -others? The fear not of any thing jn the present but of possibil- -r-rltiesj. in the futuie made dum mies' of the i great powers of Europe while the Turks slaught ered like. cattle the Christians of Armenia. Why; are France and Germany and Russia watching", the performances of Great Britain in Africa with jealous : vigilance? Not because of any present dansrer. to bifno prevent England from so rooting her power in that conti nent as to become the arbiter of its destinies and too formidable to cope with for the protectiori of tfaics present or prospective interests of those powers Jo that part of the world. W by was tne " Monroe Doc trine enunciated oyer half a century .ago andl re-enunciated with such cleancut I emphasis by President .Cleveland? ; It was first enunciated to guard against contingencies that did not then confront us, but might , becdme possible and it was re-enunciated not because of any present perils but to guard against the pos sibility of combinations or condi tions that might become perilous. When you go under; the cover and look for the inspiration that actuates , communities or nations in their deal ings with other communities and na ' tlons you find it based on self preser , vation, or self interest. , We are told, as if it was a crime, that the present monetary, agitation in ' this ' country is a sectional tme, one. in which the southland the West ajj;e a,rraye6T agawst the East To some extent this Is true, but it is sectional only because the conditions are such as to make it sectional. It is not tbepedpje of one section against thepeople of another, for In this contest individuality I or personality t does not figure, but it is the people of some sections against a financial system which keeps these sections in financial vassalage and makes, them tribute payers to ti e dominant powers of another. It Is simply a struggle by the South i nd West for self-preservation, and . the freedom and opportunity to hew out their own destiny in their own way, and to utilize their resources without paying tribute to and having dicta tion from the few to whora favoring and unjust legislation (oftn bought and paid for) has given a monopoly of the money resources of the coun try. These few, looking' only to their own interests, dictate and as sume the right to dictate, the financial policies that should be pursued by which all the peo ple shall be r governed, but by which only they are benefitted while the others suffer, and then they have the cool effrontery, to complain against the protests of their victims and characterize the efforts to free themselves from the galling shackles, as the inspiration of. sectional preju dice, when ' the are only the assertion of the law of self-preservation, with malice toward none. - ' ; The man of the South or the West who demands the free coinage of sil ver because that will result in an in crease of the Volume of money which will help his section and help him, does not ask the man of the East to surrender any right that inherently belongs to him, but simply to con cede the rights that belonged to the man of the; South and the West, in common with all citizens, which were arbitrarily and sreptitiously taken, from him when the monetary sys-. tern of the country was tampered with and debauched at the dictation of greedy j money manipulators of this country and of Europe a quarter of a century ago, when money spoke and asserted its almost omnipotent power in legislative' bodies, even as it does now, if not more so. - . Considering the sectional phase of the question it might, be said with truth that the seettonallsm first de veloped when the money powers of the East which, with the money powers of Europ;, held the bulk of our Government and State" and mu nicipal bonds, combined and brought (heir joint influence to bear upon the Congress of the tfnited States to procure such changes in legislation as would enhance the value of the Securities they held and doubly en-' rich them, not by any honest exer tion of their own but by enactments that discriminated against the mil lions who were made tribute bearers to them. . At the close of the war the West held comparatively few bonds, the South held none, but the act of Con gress passed in 1868 which made these bonds payable in coin, added .j wv- lams ui lucac bond, (which cost -u b,t .Utle), and the act of 1873 demonetizing silver doubled the value of every one of them and consequently doubled the amount of the debt and the amount of tribute the people have to pay. They insist nbw that every dollar of this indebtedness shall be paid in gold andl in nothing else, that the Government is in honor pledged to this, when the promise to pay in coin was a violation' of the contract between , them and the Government, and was secured through the agency of men who stood true to the inter ests that hired them and betrayed the people who trusted and dele gated them to make the laws, and yet they have the brazen effrontery to characterize this agitation for financial relief and reorm as a sec tional and dishonest agitation.

No other Re publican's better Informed on oreat national issues , and thus far hlsinteg ruv as a trusted legislator has never been questloned.1 This is saying a good deal when it is considered that most of his colleagues ia Congress have, in some way, been compromised, but in all his long career Allison has been looked upon as conservative, honest public servant r After hitting Carlisle.Olnev. Cleve land and Hill a swipe and oronounc Ing "them misfits as Democratic candidates, it thus refers to Messrs. Morrison and Stevenson: "Morrison Horizontal Bill is cer tainly the best ot the Democratic wheel horses. He is sturdy, honest and trust worthy, - although sometimes blunt of speech and ragged of nature. There have been more brilliant men, but none any better deserving of confidence, and while the raceVould not be an easy one Mor rison would come more nearly winning than any other candidate. . "' Stevenson it also a strong favorite among the Democratic hordes, and while he may not be as popular among certain classes, his nbmination would prove a wonderful magnet to American voters. Nothing could be said against his candi dacy that would injure, bis chances for election,!, but between Stevenson and Morrison the latter would prove the most popular." . ' , , . :-' j-" ' - . u !-.-' . .i i, - -: Hon. Wm. F, Harrity, chairman of the National Democratic Committee was interviewed recently on the'po Utical outlook and is thus quoted : "Everything points to the adoption of a sound money platform and a candidate who 1 ip absolutely committed to that cause..: - , f--t': "The great business interests of the United States will "not support any party if either the platform pr the nom inee is not strictly in accord with the. dominant sent! ment of the solid business Class. Not only the party declaration must be unequivocal, but the candidate musjt stand before the country , as a be liever in and advocate of honest money. The two must go together." - L : t Mr. Hanity is a citizen of Penn sylvania and he talks from an East ern standpoint, hence his opinion amounts to no more than that of any other man who keeps run of, current events In the field of politics. By "sound money" he means what they all mean who use that phrase gold, but there is no more likelihood of the Democratic party committing itself to that than there is of its meeting in convention and formally dissolv ing the party organization. Such a declaration would be equivalent to its dissolution. Thejruse the words "sound money" as a catchy decep tion, because they have not the can dor to say just what they do mean: but j if they be candid and propose to deal squarely and honestly with the people they will quit whip ping the devl around the stump, and boldly - insist on the adoption of something like the following, which is clipped from the platform of the Massachusetts Republican conven tion,; which launched the Reed boom at Boston last Monday: ' ; "We are : entirely opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and to any change in the existing gold standard except by international agreement. Each dollar must be kept as good as every other dollar. The credit of the; United States must be kept at the highest point, so that it cannot be questioned any where, either at home or abroad. Every promise must be rigidly kept, and every obligation redeemable in coin must be paid in gold." This is what the Massachusetts Republicans consider "sound money" talk. , " l: j .

The bulk of this business has '. steadily grown, until - New Orleans has become one of the greatest grain shipping ports in the country, especially of corn, of which it ships almost as much as all the other ports of the country combined. New j Orleans has the advantage of the Mississippi river down which grain is carried in barge3 from St. Louis and other points at a very low cost ' for transportation. ; This ac counts for the - enormous 'shipments from that port of corn which will not bear long railroad transportation.

The Cuban question will reach a crisis within the next two or three days. : Just as soon as the Sundry Civil bill is passed, and that is likely to be finished by Wednesday, Chairman Hitt will call up the Cuban resolutions and hurry them through.

C, April 1st. The Populist beneficiaries of lithe last election, with their followers, have been divided .into three classes. . Thpse who have, been provided with two.' lour and six year offices j form the three divisions. vKepuoucan describes them this way: "The two-year office holders are On the anxious bench and are willing to do any thing to effect fusion. The ' fOur-year office holders do not howl quite so loud, but a gold-bug does not scare them." The sixryear office holder stands 'for principle, and sees nothing but the silver lining. Chairman Holton yesterday described Senator Butler as being' one of" the latter variety. He says it makes ;all tbr difference in the world how a man is hit in the stomach with a pone of bread. ' I j I ' This week's'., issue of the Caucasian is a scorcher; as I said yesterday! 1 The ' Caucasian will say "We wish to warn these office-holding Populists who are clamoring Tor indiscriminate or gold- bug "fusion," (thank the Lord there are only a few of them) that a storm is brew ing for them, and if they are not tcareiul they will be struck by it.

It discusses county and State matters with reference to co-operation. The circular says: l:If the Republicans refuse to accept our proposition to make a co-operative fight with each elector pledged not to vote for a gold bug. but I on the other hand insist on supporting a gold-bug "for the Presidency, i then I cannot see how we can' verv well rn-nn- ie with them onthe State ticket. To have one-half of the State ticket I can. assihg the State and advocating on very stump the election of a 1 gold-bue President and the other half of the (same ticket canvassine the State and yen speaking from the same stump; de ounciog gold-bugs and advocating the lection ot a man for the Presidency ho is jast the opposite, would be one f the most inconsistent spectacles Sever seen in 'American politics.

They got nearly twicers much as the Populists j ' out ot I'the I j last co-operation fight.

I . lie (Butler) says orders have been issued from Republican headquarters to reach an immediate agreement for co operation and for this reason advises de layed action.

Reports from other source indicate that he has entered Havana province, crossing the new trocha along the Pinar del Rio, line between Marie and Majana. The authorities declared the line impregnable. Earthworks have been built extending almost continuous ly across the' islacd. ri Weyler is abso lutely certain , , Maceo is penned up in the West.': The Span iards are confident he is (loomed at. last. Thirty thousand troops are stationed along the trocha, Gcn.Aro lius is in command. The columns of Linares, Inclan, and half a dozen others have been. ostensibly pursuing Maceo since the -landing of Calixto Garcia's Bermuda expedition, but no serious en gagement has been fought. - The Gov- -ernment urged the correspondents yes terday to circulate the rumor of Go-, mez's death, which no one 'here be lieved. . , s The latest exploit:, cf the rebsl com- mander in-cbief was entering the capi tal of Santa Clara province. His forces swarmed into the cityjfilling the pltzi counted guards, patrolled the streets from midnight till morning. And seized Shoes, clothing and considerable ammu nition. Gen.

Williams furnished a copy ot the letter to theonly American correspondent here' having close relations with Weyler. Be fore the latter reached the palace tbe officials said Dygert would probably be released owing to lack of evidence. Thev -now declare the chain of evidence is complete and that Dygert will be treated as a prisoner oi war. The Government claims a gun was found ten feet awav when Dygert was arrested. The latter denies this. t . j Three prisoners of war were shot in' the Cabanss prison last week; Nine political prisoners were deported during n last month. What becomes of all the prisoners of war and suspects arrested it is impossible to learri. The'recentaffajr at Panoa, which Geu Melquizo reports ' as a brilliant victory resulting in the in surgents losing 18; is now said to - have been similar to the Delgado affair, ia whichMelqulxo also figured: i- The only one of the eighteen whq, fought was a negro, who, though shot in the head, seized a machete, nearly killed the Spanish captain and wounded three others before bang finished.
