LOTS FOR SALE. ‘With a population of 500,000; where, within ten years, 27,000 new buildings have been erected,costing Ships from every port ride at anchor in her harbor, and in one year her exports have increased $23,000,- 000. Is there any other southern citycan make such a showing? We have just 24 lots left, 25x110 feet, in the most desirable part of the city; only 15 minutes from the center; in the most select and aristocratic neihbor- hooa, ranging in price from $125 to $250. This isthe only chance now, and never again will there be an opportunity to buy lots at this price in the city of Baltimore. Even now a mile beyond us they are sell- ing lots for double the money. These prices will only hold.good for two weeks. 4 FEW FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING. ‘That Baltimore is the Queen City of the South. ‘That she has a population of about 500,000. ‘That she has in ten years erected 27.000 new build- ings, costins $30,000,000. ‘That in one year her exports have increased $23,- 000,000. ‘That ships from every port ride at anchor in her harbor. ‘That she controls the entire southern and much of the southwestern trade. That she has uills, fsctories and industrial enter- prises of every variety. ‘That she has markets unexcelled. ‘That she has churches, schools, colleges and all educations! advantages equal to any in the world. ‘The little booming towns of the south, with not » hundredth part of the population, the wealth, enter- prise, factories, educational advantages and home comforts tobe had in Baltimore, are selling lots at from five to ten times the price we are asking for lots im the most desirable part of the city; only 15 minutes from the center; in the most select and aristocratic neighborhood, ranging in price from $125 to #250. ‘Remember that property in the northwestern section of this city will go on increasing in valusQom year to year. There is no chance for a depreciation. ‘Lots in this section will pay better than any other investment.

Also Senate bill appropriating $75,- 000 for a public building at Fresno, Cal. SENATOR STANFORD ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION. Mr. Stanford addressed the Sevate in expla- nation and advocacy of the bill introduced by him on the 6th instant to oe the govern- ment with means sufficient to supply the na- Itonai want of a sound circulating medium. It was substantially, he said, the eume bill as he had introdu last’ session, and he had not much to add to what he had said on the subject on that occasion. But the bill was very imperfectly understood, and as the subject was a very important one he desired to explain ill further. If the bill was correct in principle its enactment was cal- culated to effect ina most substantial manner the general interests of the country. Money was the most important factor in the busines® | relations of the country. ‘There was | a lin to the quantity of gold | and silver metals, and_ that limit could | not be exceeded by any effort on the part of | the government. It was, therefore, a great mistake for the government to confine itself in the issue of money to a material outside of its control and limited in quantity: on asutliciency of money depended very largely the industries of the country. THE PRESENT FINANCIAL DEPRESSION. An illustration of its importance was to be found in the present depressed financial con- dition. Never was there so great an accumula- tion of weulth as now; never was the country more prosperous. Yet, owing to the want of money, upon a slight’ disturbance of credit there ‘wus distress all over the land. Business Was affected and so general was the uneasiness and apprehension that money which ought to be in circulation | was being _hoarded. Credit was shaken togsuch an extent that th demand for money “was continually on the increase, and there appeared to be no power where to furnish the necessury amount. Even op the best securities money could only be obtained upon call, ‘The distress consequent upon this condition of affairs was general throughout the land, and that in the face of inexhaustible supplies of perfect securities. ADVOCATES HIS BILL AB A REMEDY. The bill he was now considering proposed to put the government ina condition to issue a supply of money equal substantially to the gen- eral demand, and to erect a standard by which the government might determine up to a useful value med cent what was the amount needed. This ever been attempted by any government. The money (legal-tender notes) ‘would be issued under the provisions of the bill, upon unisopeachable and practically inexhiaust dle security and its supply was to be ascertained and determined by the rate which the borrower could afford to, pay. Two per cent was the amount to be paid to the government for the loan of its money, and so long a8 money was worth more than 2 per cent, the security being practically inexhaustible, money wonld always borrowed from the government, and thus the government would beable to discharge its duty and supply the general want. As borrowed money was not expected to lie idle. but to be used, it would go into general circulation to supply the needs of business and its abund- ance would stimulate not only the larger. but the smaller enterprises and industries on which so largely depended the steady employment of labor with its general consequence—general prosperity. MORE MONEY NEEDED. ‘The matter of immediate and overshadowing importance was to supply the industrial wants of the people. For this purpose they should have more money, money based upon perfect and unlimited security. “No government could afford to issue money except upon a valuable consideration. The value of government paper was its quality as legal tender, and the proposed bill would strengthen it (if the credit of a xov- ernment of 62,000,000 of people with all its vast resources was not perfect) by the particular security which the government would hold for ite return at the expiration of the time tixed by the loan. : THE PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNMENT LOANS. The principle of the government loaning money was fully established by the advance it now made upon its bonds, which, while en- tirely good as between the banker and the gov- ernment, did not strengthen the security of the bill’ holder, which rested at last upon the authority of the government. ‘The scheme of the bill’ was to supply an ample amount of money for all business purposes. He had mentioned lands as security because they ap) to be the best and most certain of all security, and were sufficient to furnish all the money that was needed. ‘The people, he thought, would have more confidence in a financial measure that was new and radical if ithad at present land only fora basis. The rate of interest on these loans on real estate was fixed at two per cent in the bill, but in time might be reduced as experience should teach. "Tho rate of in charged by the government under the provisions of the bill would not necessarily fix the rate of in- terest for business bu That would always be determined by its value in use. The farmer having this best security would bor- row for his own use, or the use of others, who might be willing to pay him a satisfactory in- terest. ‘The banker borrowed moncy from the government free of interest and loaned it at such rate as its use commanded in the market. ‘NOT LIKE THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC PLAN. Mr. Stanford went on to show wherein the plan proposed by him differed from that adopted in the Argentine Republic, to which it had been com; He would not (he said) at thst conallgr te deals of the D. ‘The ma- iner utting itin operation could best, determined by osptrionce.

THE PRINTING DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED. The Senate then took up for consideration the printing deficiency bill, which, after dis- cussion, was passed. PROPOSED INVESTIGATION TROUBLES, Mr. Manderson offered a resolution (which was referred to the committee on Indian af- fairs) instructing that committee to inquire into the condition of Indian tribes in N Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and elsewhere; the causes leading to the occupation of Indian reservations by United States troops; whether oF THE INDIAN § the treaties with the Indians have been fulfilled: the facts connected with the arms and munitions of war in possession of the Indians, and what steps (leg- ments hereafter.

Mr. Gorman offered a resolution (which was referred to the committee on the library) in- structing that committee to inquire into the advisability of purchasing the collection of tographs and historical papers of the late James E. McGuire of Washington, D.C., known as the Madison collection. MR. BLAIK'S PERSONAL EXPLANATION. Mr. Blair, rising to personal explanation, made a humorous statement on the subject of ® paragraph referring to him which had ap- peared originally: in the Washington Post, and been copied in the Boston Herald—a paper published “In comparatively obscure locality in the immediate vicinity of where he lived—one of the outlying provinces.” paragraph was on remark which h as to the likelihood of after the drth of Ma ublic in another capacity. derstood that a p being called upon next to serve the ‘Me bad always un- en was a king in the republic, and that was the highest capacity | in which a man could serve his country. There were some “bosom friends” of his con- nected with the press [laughter] and one them had got up the paragraph in the Post. It commenced by an allusion to the rumors run- ning at large asto what he (Mr. Blair) meant and saying that he would pot contradict them. As that (Mr. Blair said) had been the first inti- mation he had that such rumors had got loose he had had no opportunity to contradict them. MR, BLAM AS A CADINET PossIpiLaTy. The paragraph went on to intimate that Mr. Blair was to be Secretary of the Interior and mentioned “a piece of political history not generally known.” This was that when Mr. Harrison was a candidate for re-election to the Senate Mr. Blair had been asked to use bis intiuence with five ” representatives in the Indiana in favor of Mr. Harrivon and had refused — to do so, The paragraph closed with the sentence, “If the President has a short memory and a forgiving spirit Senator Blair may go into the ne r. Bhir went on to say that he could not under aay imputation likely to interfere h his appointment to an important office in he should not be re-elected to the Senate, a4 he most sincerely and confidently expected tobe. [{Laughter.} LAYING AN ANCHOR TO THE WINDWARD. He had written to Col. Dudley, manager of Mr. Harrison's campaign, for re-election to the Senate and had received from him a letter, which he proceeded to read. This was to the effect that Mr. Dudley remembered going to him (Mr. Blair) in the exigency referred to and getting from him a letter that had been used to good effect, although it had not been snecess- ful in returning Mr. Harrison to the Senate. The letter closed with the sentence: “We know of the great service you rendered us and feel grateful for it.” HIS LOYALTY TO THE PRESIDENT. I think (Mr. Blair said in conclusion) that that will remove any supposed objection to my appointment as Secretary of the Interior on the ground that I ant not a loyal friend of the President's. [Laughter.] Now, as to the of- fice which I referred to directly in my re- marks on the occasion which J have mentioned, did it ever occur to any of those people that the presidency of the United States—-citting down without finirhing the sentence. That is all Tam going to say on that point. [Laugh- ter on both sides of tho chamber and in the galleries.) MR, BATE CLOSES WIS SPEECH AGAINST THE ELECTIONS BILL. The elections bill was then taken up and Mr. Bate resumed and concluded his speech aguinst it. He declared that its effect would be the organizing of mobs by the government itself and the leading of them by government ofti- cers. As the alien and sedition law had pulled down the older Adams this force bill would, he predicted, pull down the younger Harrison. ur. Gibson opposed the bill as not in keeping with the temper of the times, and onght to be entitled ‘a bill to vest the supervision and con- trol of elections in the republican party, and to vest in that party the permanent organization of the House of Representatives.” HOUSE. Mr. Atkinson (Pa.) presented the conference report on the bill conferring certain powers on the Baltimore and Potomac Kailroad Company in the District of Columbia. Mr. Enloe (Tenn.) raised the question of con- sideration. The Honse decided—yeas, 131; nays, 85—to consider the conference report; and Mr, Atkin- sondmmediatcly demanded the previous quos- tion. ‘The House refused—yeas, 106; navs, 118—to order the previous question; and Mr. Grout (Vt) took dhe door in opposition to the report.

Curcaco, Dec. 19,—A special dispateh from Arkansas City, Kan.,eays: It is asserted that the cattle men have not yet given up hope of again turning their herds into the Cherokee strip. They expect that the offers made by several parties of large sums for the lands, which are believed here to be part of pre: concerted plan, will have the effect of prevent ing the commissioners from muking # deal with the Cherokees and that this will prevent the strip being opened. Then ws soon as the krass starts inthe «pring they will smuggle their cattle back in the strip. To this end large numbers of cattle are now being held in the reservation adjoining the strip. The sol- diers stationed south of here in the strip are all getting ready to move, having receiv: or- ders to report at Fort Keno. Thousands of people are watching the soldiers and the tmin- ute they leave the strip the settlers will go in. bemites tan DULL AND STAGNANT, - ‘The Stock Market Declines After = Rise tm the Morniag.
