This Issue commences the 11th vol

burked with our craft, nine years ngo.
into the Journalistic sea. it wss withou!
sonnd oftrumpet or firing of guns; wc
launched quietly with 175 passengers on
our list, and as we sailed along, through
calm as well as quiet waters, we every
where met thase that asked to bo taken
aboard, until now wc have a good, solid
list well on to 1200 names and we are
gratified to know that the Raroßrvais a
favorite at the best firesides of Centre
county, and one of the widest circulated
papers in the county. We have reached
this without chromoa, almanacs, treats,
or canvassers —the best evidence thai
we are publishing a paper that meet
the wants of our people, wesre gratified
at this substantial evidence that our
labors are appreciated.
Our friends have our thanks for their
support—we have endeavored to giv
them full value for their money, aud
with their continued encouragement * r
will strive to further improvs the Kr-
RORTKR.
The California legislature, on IS. elect

United States Senator, in place of Sar
gent, republican. So good bye another
republican senat ir. California has had
enough ofthem.
Hayes intends not to give way b'
Conkling, and will retain his cabinet
members in spite Of the big New Nor*
gobbler, and keep on in "my policy.
Beecher, in a sermon, a few Sabbath*
ago, uttered his disbelief i Q there being
a hell. Since then the matter has besn
discussed in quits a number of New
York pulpits, with a good sprinkling of
preachers who have a leaning the same
as Beecher in this matter. Perhaps, for
their own safety, some of the minister*
are wishing there were no hell.
Gen. Grant paid a visit to A esuvius,
the other day, but the old crater
wouldn't erupt, worth a cent, though
Ves is as big a smoker as Grant.
A bill is before congress, and likely to
become a law, allowing the civilized In
dian tribes a delegate in congress Since
the negroes are represented as full mem
bers, may as well allow the injuns a del
egate.
Conkling seems to be making his
fight more against Kvarls and Schurz
than against Hayes, and is trying to force
them to resign their cabinet positions.
The condition of the Sbamokin Na
tional Bank is very unfortunate for the
stockholders of the concern. The daily
American of Sunbury says the stock
holders of the Northumberland Count}
National bank, at hbamokin, have all re
ceived notice, that unlen they pay with
in thirty days an eqnal to the
amount of stock they owned in the bank
suit will be commenced against them in
the United States Court. Colonel H. C.
Ever, ofSelinsgrove, one of the heaviest
stockholders, was in town on Friday in
regard to this affair. He holds 72 share*
and his wife 15, at SIOO each. Beside
losing Jiheir stock they are compell
ed to pay an assessment of SIOO for each
share, or $8,700, as a penalty for holding
stook in this badly managed institution*
Within the last week or two we hav
met several other unfortunate victims ol
this bank. Atffong them was our old
friend D. Jos. RobbinsofShamokin.wlu
loses nearly Mr. Miller who wa*
called nponlp pay $9,000 on the stock h
_^^^holdsßeed, who will lose abou
Muencb, we understand
also loses largely, and W. T. Grant, oi
this place, is also a sufferer. A number
of badly managed banks hare gone un
der since the organization of the nation
al bonk system, but we doubt whether
the records can show a worse or nfc>re
disastrous bank failure than that of the
national bank at Mhamokin. It is fair to
presume that most of the stockholder*
had no idea of their individual liability.
To say the sufferers are indignant, and
utter threats, not loud but deep, but
faintly expresses the opinion of the pub
lic.

There is a proposition for a new and
gigantic monopoly. It is reported from
New York that there is an effort to con
centrate in one company the whole pe
tro'eum trade. Such a monopoly might
put out the poor man's coal oil lamp.

(IRKSS. THE EM; i rsi n /./>>
LITTLE sums TO SIM,'.
Gold and silver when first employed
as money, wore current by t <7,77 for it
was only by their that their
wfnn*t> IVI/IK could be known: contracts
therefore were made for the payment or
delivery of specific quantities of metal,
to facilitate the accomplishment of
which government took upon themsel
ves the sole right tocoin money, which
was merely putting a stamp upon ape •
of gold or silver, certifying that it con
tained a certain quantity of inetnt of a
certain degree of purity. The coinage
of gold and silver into money makes no
change in the principle on which ex
changes are conducted before the metals
are coined. The coinage dei lares the
weight and purity of the metal in a coin;
the value of the metal or coin is in .ill
cases determined by the saiue principles
which determine the value of cum
modities. It ia in all cases the quantity
of pure metal in a ooiu for which coin
modities are given in exchange. Re
tween gold and silver there is not anv
fixed proportion a* to value established
by nature any more than there is a lix
ed proportion established by nature be
tween iron and lead. Our present de
sign t# to make a few remarks on the
subject of coinage and briefly examine
the standard of money in this couutry.
By the act of congress of ITt'l it was de
clared that the dollar of the I'nilrd
States should contain 375J grains of pure
-ilver the staudard of gold was fixed at
w carats; that is 11 parts of tine to I part
of alloy. That of silver at 14-85 parts tine
to lr.Vailoy. This congress had a per
fect right to do. as in the first place un
der the Constitution of the United
Slates it is declared that "No state shall
Ac., ooiu mioney, emit bill- of credit,
make any thing but gold and silver • n
a lender in payment of debts." And in
the second place, the Constitution of the
I".S. declares the power of congress " I'o
coin money, regulate the value thereof,
and of foreign coins." They could there
fore make a rule or law for the value be
tween all the citizens and in all their
transactions, and this was making a
legal tender. The first law on the sub
ject of coinage declared that the coins
which it authorized should be legal ten
ders at the values thereon fixed, and de
claring their legal value in every vase
in which money was an instrument in
the execution of a contract according to
law of the contract, it was the necessary
effect of a legal and constitutional regu
lation of the value of coins, they might
Oe legally offered as that value w herein
money was due by contract, and this
sas their legal lender. Iu the year 172.'
when the nuutof the United State- was
about being established, the expediency
of adopting only one of the precious
metals as the standard of the money o!
ihe country was not at that time thought
of or intended, and therefore it was re
solved that gold as well silver coins
should be struck at the mint, and in fix
ing upon the relative value of the two
metals one-fifteen was considered to be
•he ratio which would establish an
equivalent currency, and it was accord
ingly provided on the first of April of
ihat year, that the coins of the I wiled
states, one ounce of pure or fine gold
-hould be equivalent lor fifteen ounces of
pure or fine ailver. For many years af
'■er the passage of thia law the market
proportions abroad, as well as at home,
continued to correspond with the mint
proportions, so that the two metals were
both retained in circulation at their legal
value. Neither one was worth more
than the other, and hence "our "eagle'
and "ten dollars" were convertible
terms, and we wish to see this state of
things again—"thedolJarofour daddies.
By these acts of congress they consider
ed if an absurdity to have more than
ne legal tender under the Constitution,
md for forty years previous to 1532 this
remained so without any cha- ge in the
valuation or standard of me silver and
gold coins of the U. 8. The V. S. Bank
had sold gold coin from 5 to 10 per cent,
premium and was seeking the renewal
of its charter. On discovery of gold in
North Carolina and other southern
-tales previous to 1539 the owners of the
mines cried out for legislative pro
tection and laws were solicited to enable
ihem to get more for their gold or rather
more for their land than they could
otherwise have obtained. This influ
ence annually increasing in strength
constituted a powerful element towards
the revival of the scheme of changing
the relative value of gold and silver, and
thus in furtherance of the scheme the
congress of the U. 8. passed two acts
which were approved of on the 28 June
1534, the first act concerning the gold
coins of the U.S., the second act regu
lating the value of certain foreign co : ns
with the U. B.—by the first making one
ounce of gold equal to 16 of stiver with
out increasing the value of the gold coins,
this raising or overrating gold as a cur
rency above its market value as bullion
evidently changesthe standard of money
from gold to silver. This degradation is
effected in a cunningly devised manner,
yet is as much a degradation of the
standard in realty as if the standard of
the silver dollar had been reduced from
371J to 362J grains ol pure silver. By
raising or over-valuing gold as a curren
cy, compared with silver as a current},
the consequence is as wc have seen, that
silver coin before and since 1833 are ex
ported whenever exchanges are against
this country, until we bad no silver in
circulation except in old worn coins de
ficient in weight This attempt to raise
the value of gold as a legal tender over
silver is neither more nor less than the
degradation of the standard.
Let congress hearken to the people by
repealing the Resumption act—giving a
circulating medium of gold, siiver and
greenback notes in just proportions to
make gold and silver coins 'as they are
now under the Constitution) a legal
tender without limitation, restricliorf or
giving any preference of one over the
other. We have, however, said enough
for one occasion—perhaps we shall re
sume the subject hereafter.
