Now, tho selection of such 1 Secretary ag Allison or’ Windom, worthy men though they be, would bo virtuntly saving to the world, Just at tho thine when the Nation is eonstraiied to borrow $090,000,000, ** We will not pay theso bonds itt the honest money of the worl, but, If we enn, we will folst upon you a allver dotlar of tho value of 00 conta.” (1) The United States Government never colned a Hght-welght stlver dollar since it hada mint; and neither Allison nor Windom ever voted for a light-welght dotlar or any silver dollar under the full .standard weight, and Tre Cuicace ‘Cuinunt was uover per- meated with flat doctring; so that tho Wis- consin concern Hes all round. (2) The United States standard dollar, so far from being “light welght,? contalnga tree per cent more pure metal, 2s compared with the relative weight of gold and silyer cotns, than the silver cofnage of any: European nation, (8) The United States silver dollar fs not “enernlly known as debased colnage,” and only specially known as suck by slanderers and Ignoramuses. Debase means to reduco from a higher to a lower grado of purity and fineness “by alloy, which our Governnient jas noyer done; the dollar contains ay many grains of pure silvor now as It ever did. ‘Tho weight of pure silver in the dullar has not been changed stneo tho Revolution, nor be- fore lt. (4) Senators Allison and Windom don’t. know that our standard silver dolinar Js only worth 0 cents In tho markets of tho world, nnd no ono else knows it. Nobody ever saw a 90-cent ‘United States standard dollar, and nobody over saw It pass nt 90 cents. Neither do these Senators know tn “reallty’ nor by hearsay that the United States standard silver doflar has less purchasing power tn this country or any other with whleh we have commercial transactions than tho gold dollar, ‘Thore fs no market in the world where it passes at 90 cents, and only a fool or a knave would make such a statement. (5) “These honda’ on thelr face and by Jaw are payable In “coin,” and that embraces standard sitver dollars as well as gold dollars, It fs honest to pay debts exactly according to promise; and this Governuient never promised to pay any bend that it sold exclusively elthar In gold or sil- yer. (6) France and Germany pay their bonds, Interestand principal, in both silver and gold at thelr option, and they are generally called honest Governments; and they onty give fifteen and one-half ounces of silver as the equivalent of one ounce of gold; whereas our Governinent “ foists” oa the public cred- itor sixteen ounces of silver as the cquiv- Mentof one ounceof gold, It itonly gave fifteen and one-half ounces, this nincompoop would probably eall it payment in the hon- est money of the world,” and tho extra 3 per cent of welglit, in his eyos, makes It dishon- est. WHY THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD NOT DISHAND. Tho Now York Sun, which was a very honest eritic of the scandnlous Democratic mothods during the campaign, replicas to an ermtle and discouraged old Copperhend sheet that ups over to tho Republican slo after elections and flops back before elections. The flopping print, when {t discovered the ealumity that had overtaken its party in county, State, and Nation. lost heart, as usual, and, groaning In spirit, deelared that the Demoeratie party had received [ts mortal wound, was dead and rotting, and proceeded to preach its funeral sermon, which consisted chiefly of cursing and railing, Tho Sun vigorously denles that the Demo- eratle party is dead or rotten, altho ndmit- ting that i¢ Is brulsed and sorely hurt in the torrie encounter with the Republican party, It refutes the arguments of jts weik-backed, easily-seared, aspen-Ieaf Uomoerntie brother, Tho Sun boldly susthins -the alliance with the South, and upholds whatever principles and policies the party lins adyocated, and urges that its organization be preserved Jn- tact. It claims that, wille before or during the War the party was ruled by tho South, thot [8.0 matter of the past, and that now tho Democracy “stands for the foundation princl- ples of tho Constitution; for local self-gov- ernment.as opposed to centralization; for the restriction and dlu:inution of the powers and tho Interference of Government, and for tue elevation and tho independeneé of the individual citizen; for equal rights as op- posed to privilege al monopoly; for the Nepublis ag. opposed to tho Empire? For sych reasons as these the Sur feels itsvlt sconstrained to think and act with the Democ- racy, and It boldly says: Tn any freo republtean Governmont thore Diust bu a party of the peoplo—in other words, domucritic party, Without such a party, auch & Governinont cnunot continue. Given th ros pubilo Without a democratle party, and such a purty, must elthor bo creuted or the Ropublio erivhes. In this country thera ia such a party. a the conrsy of ita lone career It hus been ‘tnixed up with many things thiut wore not demo: cratic, Dat the very opposit of democratio; and you lt is sound at tho core, | 1t bus survived such Giauaters that it secins wa It Roth ae could KHL ft.

AT tho recent election, in spite of every obstacle, in apito of all the resources of the Republicans, the oticebolers, the money, the partiality of Dualueys interests, the lupilse of antayonient toward thy posaltitity of 4 Southern reaturation; Jn spite of tho folttos and stuplditics of ite own Jeadorubip, anu of all the hty Iniluences Jo arapbieuily depleted by the Chicaya paper—in epitu of alf thes, tho Democracy had so many quilllons of votes thut thoy cue withia a hair's breadth of carrying the couniry, ‘Therefore, In tho judgment of the Sun, “the part of wisdom ts to adhere to It, to re forme it, to matutaln It, and te carry it fore ward upon the path whieh Jefferson, Juck> om, and “Titten muirked oft for It ‘The Sunbssight la ly judgueut. ‘Where ly no anestion of the nee y Democratic party, for It Is rotten to the and there Is even more urgent necessity of adhering to tt and maintalning It.

Au accession of that miscettane- ous crowd would barst the Republican party to pleces like an overcharged gun. There {s no. room In tho Republican organization for tho imoss-backed Bourbons or State- soverelgnty Brigadiers, nor for -the spoils: sevking bailot-box-stuifers and ward bum- mers; na place for the ‘Ulidens, Barnuns and Howitts, Hamptons and Toombses, with thelr disreputable political methods and destructive polleles, 4 i There ts no necessity for the Democratic patty to disband, It is still a great and formidable party. It has cast substantially as laren vote in the whole Unton as the Re- pabliean, only {ts majorities were, largely fraudtient, and came wholly ontof theSouth, It Jost the North by over balf a’miltion ma- Jority, and emerged with no Northern States oxeept those {t secured by fraud, perjury, and forgery; but in tho South it still retains {ts powerful supremacy by {ts methods of ostracism, terrorism, bulldozing, ballot-box. stuMing, and disfranchisement, ‘Tho Sun Is perfectly right In not eiving Its consent to tho disruption of a party whieh has just polled 2,000 majority around New York May, and has the disbursement of . $40,000,000 in munictpal patronage, A party Iie that, with such oxtreme tenacity of life, will hold together, and It can all the more easily hotd together beesuse it is not so much 0 party, in. the ordinary senso of tho term, a3 a dynasty; nor really a voluntary organlza- tlon but an organized despotism that hns como dgwn from a very vague origin Jn Jefferson's time.

When it ylelds up that dogma and acknowledges Its odiousness and danger to the conniry, then It will be time to talk of its disruption as 1 party. The rumors of disorganization In the South should not frighten a singly old mossback. “There wilt likely be some breaking off, some desertions, but, it will only affect cer- tain elements, not tha body of the pnity it- self. * . aS before remarked, tho real use of the Demoeratie party is to keep the Republican party in discipline and compact organization, to prevent straggling from its ranks and run- uing off on side Issues, whieh the more radl- cal-in Its organization are always inelined to do, andto keep {¢ in £ condi of robust health and strong, active, working, phystque, ‘fhe more formidable the Demo- cratic party {3 tho stronger the Republican party must necessarlly be, since they know that if they aver stack their arms to rest or allow themselves to be. split into divistons the Democrats will at onco selze contro! of the Government and proceed to display thelr real antmus, ag they have dono before when they have had the opportunity; that thoy will make war upon the credit and eurrenvy of the country, attempt to disband the army, repeal the Natlonal Elec- tion Jaws, and put in practice the doctrine of State-soverelgnty, which must Inevitably brenk down the paramount authority of the Natlonal Government. Tho Democracy should not disband; it shoutd not even feol discournged, Itshould take tho advive of tho Sten,.and the most that Republicans cnn do Is to hope that it may experience a change of heart and the good effects of reforming rrace, ‘The Republican party docs not want any hardened old sinners coming into Its ehurch with protestations of sincerity that only amount to lip-woyship and do not cone fromthe heart. Its church doors are open wide to young Democrats not yot sunk in the mire of Bourbonisim, but it has no room for the case-hardened old sinners. It would prefer that thoy goon In the old evil way which Jeiferson Dayls, Calhoun, aud 'THden marked out, and the Republican party will oon its good old way of thrashing them and keeping them out of office, mischiet, and power, EDISON'S NEW EXPERIMENT, - ‘Tho indefatigable Edison fs still at work upon his electrle-llght problem, and, un- daunted by previous discouragements, js still confident of final and complete success, A re- porter of the New Yor{ Zribune, who vistied Menlo Park the other day, found him pre- paring for an experiment upon a shill larger scale thin ever before, his proposition boing to operate hundreds of street-lamps through elghtmiles of wire, The laboratory wasa hive of tudustry, It was It with a dozen In- eantescent Intwps, burning brightly and fur- nished with the new banboo-carbons,—a ma- terin] ho has chosen, net because tho carbon | has anything special to: recommend it, but because the material Is very uniforn in text- ure and has fewer {mperfections than other substances thatho has tested. In the ima- ehine-shops his men were busily at work upon the details of his new experiment, and several of them were placing In position an immense dynamo-muchina of — 1,550-horse power, which will also be used In tho experl- ment, 1t was a noticenblo feature of the tnterviow between tho ‘Uribune’# reporter and Mr. Elson that he assumed perfect suecess of the electric Nght and considered that part of the problein solved, ‘The experiment which he fg now niaklng is to place the process of electric lightug upon nanfe basis of com- mercial success, 80 that It can compete with gus. ‘To this end he Js getting everything down to the bottom cost, As one Illustra tion, the amps have heretofore been made by hand, eagh lamp requiring two honra’ work, ‘To overcome this he has built a factory to make glass andl is teaching bays to. blow It, ‘Lhe matn feature of ils experiment is to operate several hundred strect-lamps in New York, through eight miles of wire, with a steady light of sixteon-candle power, which is a moderately bright light that will not be too brilllantor Uresome to tho eye, In the Interviow he thus explained his purposes: “The object Is to devise tho means of establishing clegtrio Nghting on a com- merelal basis; ‘to distribute the current from # central station and measure It, ay eas now Is, and to bring tha cost down ton polht where the enormous moneyed fn fluence of gas can bo successfully ‘queoun- tered, ‘Tho plans and gpeolfeations for contral stations for the City of New York have been made and proposals have been recelved. There remains nothing except for the Company to obtaln the permission from tho authorities of New York, If that ls done, Loxpeet to lay wires in January,” f ‘The progress of Mr, Edison’s experiment will ba watched with great Interest allover the country, asitconfronts a great monopoly. it Mr, Edison can furnish a sufticiently bright and steady light at o cheapercost than. gas, It will prove a great public blessing, not only in the reduction of cost, but also In the simphieity with which the lumps can bo operated, siuce a stuiple pressuroof the finger can light or .extingulsh: all the lamps (na chy simultaneously,“ It.is not snfe to predicate that gas will be ontirely driven ‘ out of uso by it, or, Tinent should be successful, that tt will be hnmedl+ ately adopted, since he will have to encoun ter the tremendousopposttton of the hnmense capital luvested in gus, bubeven if Wt should have no other result than to lessen tho price of gas that will be a great polnt gained, Meanwhile itis tmposslble not to ndmira the patient, courageous, and hopefal. manner tn which Mr, Edison keeps to his task in the face of numerous obstacles, Such deyotion to.an icten cannot but bo ultiinately crowned with success. Ho may fallin January as he has failed before, but he will unquestionably stick to his, work, learning lessons of value from overy fallure, until the problem of cheap light 13 ultimately solved, ‘eee THE IRISH LAND QUESTION. Tho few reforms which Enginnd, since her domination, has extended to Lreland. have been at rire intervals and grudgingly be- stowed, ‘Chey have been ylelded only when the Irish people, driven to ‘desperation by hunger and abject misery, have reached the utmost limit of thelr endurance, and have be- come reckless of all consequences. . In every so-called measure for thelr relief the object of the British Government was apparent at a glance, Real redress for {rish wrongs has never been serlously attempted, and on each ocenston so Much only was done as was necessary to auiet for the moment existing comiplaluts, Few of those reforms had thelr orlgin in any other cause, and still fuwer of thom, in fact} we may say none, were granted untll every other means at the drsposal of tho British Government ind been resoried to without suceess. No comprehenstye meas- ure for removing the flagrant and intquitows ovitsof English administration in Ireland or for bettering the condition of the Irish peo- ple has ever been tried. Its not teo much to say that the sole desire of tho English people. appears to huve been to. get as much out of Ireland a3 possible by squeezing her of every possible cent, and by utilizing for English beneflt the blood, brains, and en- urgy of hor sons, regardless of nny suffering she might undergo, Atsmall cost to her- self, England has reaped a rich harvest from the Irish people. Every measure of rellef has been obtalned only by desperate agita- tlon, and could only in this way have been secured by them, Many Irishmen have paid dear penalttes for thelr patriotic attempts to bring about 0 better stato of. affairs, ‘They have always been severely punished, and in each case the English people, as a whole, have applauded the puntspment, whatever Its severity. The landlords of Lreland, how- ever, English by education and associntion, and in many cases. by birth, have never failed to flud English ears sympnthetle to thelr complaints, and that the resources of the British Government wero at their dis- posal to profect and ald them in enforeing the oppression which British Inws for tho government of Ireland fully sanctioned, Tho bad harvests of 1877, 78, and 70 have again driven the Irish peuple beyond all pos- sible forbearance, They have again been forced to resort to agitation to obtain relief. Some cases of violence on their part haye oc- eurred, but these have been few in mumber, Af the great number of people concerned, and their abject condition, be considered, itis a rentarknable fact that there has been so small un toss of Iife, nud it certainly speaks well for them that thoy have been able tlusto restrain themselves under such great provocation. It is probably the ense that the Land League organization, whatever may be said to the contrary, hag largely aided In bringing tlils about, Its rule .Is absolute, and the obe- ilience yielded to its orders fimplicit. If It willed otherwise, [t could unquestionably fing all the agents necessary to execute any amount or speeles,of violence it desired. No Irishinan would. for 2 moment think of disobeying tts decrees, It, however, ling re- strained thogratifention of personal revenge, and taught its members that there is some- thing more worthy to be rained py following, ag with one will, a well-matured scheme for tho general welfare, We do not hesitate to say that the Land Lengua has done well, and that, so far, it has aniply deserved the conf- dence and support It las received from tho Irish people, The purpose for which the Leaguo was formed was to enforce legislation which would remove tho curse of Inndlordism, pre- yent rack-renting, and lend to an entire re- vision of tho laws governing Iand-tenure in Ireland, Much of this, we-do not doubt. will bo nceomplished at the noxt session of Partlament, ‘Tho entire success of these mensures wo regard as © mere question of thne. If, ns was formerly the ease, the En- gilsh people were united In their antazo- nisin to Ireland, and fn the belief that Irish- men were actuated by no other motive than a desire to create disturbance, coerefon would now bo resorted to. Irish leaders, as in the past, would be severely dealt with; but withuately, ‘perhaps, some sini! retlet would bo sneeringly enacted, Fortunate. ly, this method of treating Irish questions fs no longer possible, ‘Tho recent growth of the Radical party in England has mado for ireland many English friends, whose sympathies nro all for the people rather than for the landlords, hi favor of whom so much Injustice has been done, Mr. Bright and Mr, Chamberlain, the leaders of this party, have put upon record, so thrt they cannot be unis- understood, their convictlons {n favor of Irish redress; and Mr, Gladstone, who, what: over may bo sald of him, has done more for Treland than any other Englistiman, will certainly govern himself, In tho measures he may propose, by ‘thelr advica and nsstst- ance. Tho Inte discussions In the Brittsh Cabluct prove the'truth of what wo say, ag wellng tha additional fact that the influence ofthe Radicals In the government of the British Emplrojis rapidly becoming moro powerful and predominant, But the results of the Land League have gone far beyond what was ‘originally pro- posed, Tho whole structure of Hngllah ad- inistration in Ireland has been fractured and torn from top to bottom, It is necessary to remoye It, and Idle to attempt rebullding it by piecemeal or patchwork mensures, Now material of every kind Js required, and Unquestlonably no Irlahman will be content with anything else. ‘The people will demand it, and few among them will be satisfed un- Jess thotr demands aro complied with, They will be sustalned by te Radicals of England, whose assistance can be relied on at least to the extent of securing for them equal rights in every sense with tho English people, Irishmen, therefore, while continuing thelr agitation by all propor means, should serupu- lously abstaln froin oVery violent excess, Every instance of murder or personal aggres- sion serves only to strengthen their enemies, tho Tories, by driving into that party a gréat Munber of justuinded Englishmen, who, in the present advanced state of public opinion, can otherwise be relled on to give them material support and ‘hearty sympathy, Tho objects for which Irishmen are now struggling are so just that they should not be stained by the conunission of disgraceful ucta, ‘The perpotrators of all suth shopld bo regarded as tho worst ene mules of Wie Irish cause, and they should re- celye full punistiment for their crimes, It is now 8 well-recognized fact throughout the world that the treatment by the Engilsh peu- ple of Ireland andthe Irluh hus been a dis graco to Engllsh clyiiization, and Irlshmen should be careful.to comtult no act huving a tendency to prove that the brutalities of the’ British Government have been a matter of smpathy in other countries for ss, ant shame in England for the centatries of milsrale and oppression intlicted non the Irish, are daily becoming more ox- tended, "The Irish people, while justly striy- {ng for thelr rights, should do nothing to inar tho growth of elther feeling, ———— THE POPULAR.
