“PURELY SELFISH.”

ENGLAND’S REASONS FOR HER ATTITUDE ON SILVER. A London Financial Paper Scores’the British Gold Rrgs—America Can Coerce John Bull to A4p#t a SMver Policy.

[The London Financial News.] There have not been wanting of late indications of growing irritation with England for its dog-in the manger silver policy. Gold monometalism is convulsing two continents and gravely compromising the future of the poorer states in Europe. This feeling has bee nvoicedinAiherlo&~ibr-Senator Lodge, whose proposal virtually to shut out British goods from the United States until we should assent to a bimetallic convention, though extreme and absurd, indicates the trend of sentiment on the other side of the Atlantic.

Senator Lodge is not a silver man in the usual sense, being opposed out and jtjut to free coinage in the United States under existing conditions, and therefore his views, though tinged with-strong fceling, may attract more attention here than those of the pronounced silverites. Mr. Lodge is very bitter about the failure of the Brussels conference of last year, where the attitude of the British official delegates was “scarcely less than discourteous” to the United States, and he believes that nine-tenths of the American people regard it in that light _ A feeling of this kind is not to be lightly ignored. We have frequent diplomatic differences with the United States, but as a rule there is seldom „ associated with these any sense of animus between the people of the two countries. But now we are encouraging the growth of a feeling that on a question which affects the prosperity of millions of individual Americans England is inclined to entertain views unfriendly to the United States We know, of course, that the unfriendliness is accidental, and that our monetary policy is controlled by purely selfish notions that we do not mind seeing India suffering from our action much more than America does. The- Americans

PLEDGED TO FREE TRADE.

are sufficiently old fashioned to believe that it is the part of a friend to show himself friendly, and when this country turns a deaf ear to the plaint of half the world, including- all 'the New World, they not unnaturally take it unkindly. It is not for us to say whether the feeling of irration is wholly justified "br not; it exists, and that is the main point. Moreover, it is taking- a shape that may entail very awk ward consequenees on us. The recent proposal to coin Mexican dollars in San Eranciseo was a bid toward giving us an object lesson by ousting us from*our commanding position in eastern trade. There is a plain riioral in the remark that if the United States would venture to cut herself adrift from Europe and take outright to silver she woyld have all America and Asia at her markes» ?f both continents. “The barrfei- es gold would be more fatal than any barrier of a custom house. The bond of 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-morrow British trade would be ruined before the year was out Every American industry would be protected, not only at home, but in every other market. Of course the states would suffer to a certain extent through having to pay her obligations abroad in gold; but the loss on exchange under this head would be a mere drop in the bucket compared with the profits to be reaped from the markets of South America and to say nothing of Europe. The marvel is that the United States has not long ago seized the opportunity, and but for the belief that the way of England is necessarily the way to commercial success and prosperity, undoubtedly it would have been done long ago. Now Americans are awakening to the fact that "so long as tjiey narrow their ambition to a larger England” they can not beat us. It has been a piece of luck for us that it has never before occurred to the Americans to scoop us out of the world’s markets by gding on a silver basis, and it might serve us right if, irritated by the .contemptuous apathy of our government to the gravity df Hie silver problem, the A wsWewiW Retaliate by freezing out geld. ft could easily be done.

ATTENTION COMRADES

The survivors of the 48th Indiana Volunteers will hold their annual reunion at Rensselaer, Indiana, Aug., 291 h and 30tb, 1894, in company with the survivors of the 46th, and 87th regiments of Indiana Infantry VolAt the last meeting of the survivors of the 48th regiment, it was decided to hold the next annual reunion at Rensselaer, Indiana, on September 19, 1894, that day being the 32nd anniversary of the Battle of luka, Miss., the first battle in which the regiment took a prominent part. It being designated as the baptismal engagement where fifty six were

killed and two hundred and twenty were wounded and thirty four ingIt was with reluctance that this date was changed, but as the other two regiments above mentioned had decided to hold their annual reunion on the above named days, it was thought best for us to join them for several reasons. The first being this, that as our people here, will be called upon to entertain all of them, it was was thought best to entertain all at the same time.

These days have no special meaning to the survivors of the 48th, they are no anniversaries of days in which the regiment was called upon to make any special sacrifice, but we will heartily join with the surviving comrades of the other regiments above named. At this reunion each regiment can hold a separate business meeting, for the transaction of its own business, but the program of exercises will be participated in by thenumbers of each regiment. It is to be hoped that this change will meet with the hearty approval of every member of the regiment. Many of the survivors were written to and consulted before the change was made but it was impossible to write to all. M. F. Chilcote, President. Alexander J. LaPierre, Adjutant and Secretary.

Rev. J. H. Wilson as a Politician.

This brilliant pulpit orator on July 29th at Barkley chapel took occasion during the course of his sermon to air his political sentiments which were decidedly refreshing if not altogether patriotic. He was trying to make the point that politicians of the present day entirely ignored issues of importance to the whole people and run political campaigns on issues that were likely to win and toe often a damage to the country.

The Rev. Gentleman said: “For 20 years after the, war political campaigns were fought by appealing to the prejudices and passions of the people and thus fostering sectional hatred.”

This of course, was aimed at the Republican party but I would challenge the Rev. Gentleman to find anywhere in the pages of history where conquered rebels were treated with the leniency that the Government treated the rebel democrats both north and south. They have insisted and still insist that all citizens white or black, north or south shall have all political privileges given them by the constitution.

Again he says, “But time passed on and a generation of young men came into politics that cared nothing for the old war or those that engaged in it and something must be done to still keep up this sectional hatred. So the Sons of Veterans were organized for this very purpose.” We would not be surprised to hear such unpatriotic sentiments from some of those disloyal M. E. preach-

ers in the south, but we must confess that we expect better things political from a man who claims to have fought bled and died almost for his country.

The noble order of Sons of Veterans has no political affiliations and never has had,Bro. Wilson’s statement notwithstanding. Tariff high or low he says cuts no figure in the prosperity of the people. It answers to deceive the people and catch their votes the one and only object of political parties. It is said that the wisest of men are fools on seme subjects. It may be that politics or political government is not a favorite study with Bro. W. I certainly will have to call him a back number on that subject.

Sail the gospel ship Bro. Wilson. That is your strong point. While you are airing your cranky notions on politics the blessed banner of Christ will surely trail in the dust. Bro. Wilson kindly invited any one that thought he made a misstatement to correct him. I think he made

About Traction Engines.

These are the days in which traction engines are moved from place to place upon the public highways. The law says a man mutt go about fifty yards in front of the engine while it is being moved on any highway, street or alley to warn all persons of the approach of danger that frightened horsts may be properly cared for, and if any engineer or owner of an engine neglects this duty he shall be fined in any sum between five and fifty dollars. Anybody can complain to the prosecutor.

A Birthday Party.

All was joy and mirth in the village of Surrey, Indiana, on last Friday, July 27th. The occasion of this great enjoyment being the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the birth of the venerable Jessie Wilcox, who has been a resident of th ; s county for a great many years. His health is fairly good and he is a well preserved man. He was seen stepping around among the visitors with the elasticity of a youth, and his face was mingled not only with age but with pleasant smiles which gladdened the hearts of his children who Bad gathered there for the purpose of making him glad. A very few people live to reach the four score point who are as well and jovial as father Wilcox. There were 57 present and it was truly an enjoyable occasion for his children as well as for others for it is not often that so large a family of children live to shake hands with a father on his 80th birthday . A most excellent dinner was served of which the writer got his share and enjoyed it to a finish. Below we give a list of the names of the children and their husbands and wives who were present. Josiah, Rachel, J. R , Mattie, Abner, Jennie, William, Alice, Geo. W., and J. I. Wilcox, Jasper Kenton, Mary Kenton, AV m. Webb, Martha Webb, J. L. Bruner, and Mahala J. Bruner. The “One Horse Photographer” was out in due time and after filling his natural trunk from the variety of eatables from off the top of the still groaning table, he proceeded to take three negatives. It was very plain to see that Joe was still lame. We wish for the venerable father and his children the return of many such pleasant occasions before he goes hence to return no more.
