SILVER MONEY
Dexter A. Hawkins, esq., of Wall street,
writes to the editor of the New York
Graphic, and gives him the following facts
on the Silver Money question, which are
so clear and easy of comprehension that
we transfer them, almost bodily, to our
columns, believing that they will give our
readers a clearer insight into this question
than anything we have yet published :
From the origin of money, silver has fur
nished the greater part of the .toin of the
world. This fact demonstrates its superior
fitness. With a small exception, it is now the
money of the world. The greater majority of
mankind in all civilized countries receive their
wages, weekly or monthly, and expend them
in numerous items in the support of
themselves and families. _ .
It is equally, with gold, made money by the
Constitution. Hamilton, one of the wisest
statesmen and soundest financiers this coun
try bas produced, advocates silver equally with
goid.
Our statutes, down to 1873, made the silver
dollar the money unit of the nation and a le
gal tender fur all debts. Every bond the Gov
eminent has now out is by its very terms, and
the clear words of the statutes under which it
is issued, payable, at the option of the Gov
ernment, in either silver coin of a given weight
and fineness, or gold coin of a given weight
and fineness.
Whenever at maturity the Government ten
ders either the amount of silver or the amount
of gold specified ii the bond and the statute
under which it was issued, it equally fulfills
every legal and every um: al obligation to its
creditor. Nothing can be plainer than this as
a question of law or of morals, and every in
telligent man who reads the bond and the stat
ute knows it.
Why, then, the insane cry of "fraud," and
'•cheat," and "repudiator," raised by the New
York City press against every advocate of the
remonetization of silver?
Why does paid counsel in court sometimes
exhaust his intellect in fierce denunciati,n of
his opponent, instead of calmly and logically
confining himself to th,t facts and law of his
case ? It is simply because he is conscious that
the facts and law are not ot., his side. Hence,
and only hence, the bad temper and language
of the newspaper counsel retained for the cred
itor class.
Half of the coin of the world is silver. Strike
this out of existence as money, and the other
half, which is gold, has to do double work.
What is the result ? Its purchasing power is
doubled. It takes twice as much labor, or the
products of labor, to obtain a given sum of
coin, as before. Whom does this benefit ? The
creditor class, and the cieditor class only.
Debts, bonds and mortgages call for the same
number of dollars as before, anti each dollar
costs the debtor double. If half the money of
the world is to be demonetized, fairness re
quires that all debts should be reduced one
half; yet the creditor class du not suggest this.
They would doubtless denounce as a "cheat'
and a "repudiator" any one who should r-o
-pcs3 it. Yet do they not see that unless the
scaling of debts goes with the demonetization.
of half the money of the world, they become
Shylocks and extortioners ? The debtor class
have rights as well as the creditor class.
A hundred years ago the balance of trade
set firmly in favor of England ; she saw that
she was in the future to twin the favored class
of creditor nations. II r interest then was to
make the purcl g power of money the
greatest_Dc - , in order that her debtors
might - Eave to send her the maximum amount
of their products to pay their debts to her. She
accomplished this by demonetizing silver and
requiring them to pay her in the equivalent of
gold.
Four years ago she saw that we were be
coming a great silver producing nation. She
held a large amount of our bonds, payable
either in silver coin or gold coin. Could she
stop our mint from coining silver the purchas
ing power of gold would be largely increased
and we should be obliged to redeem our bonds
in gold alone. She required a large amount
of silver for her East India possessions, having
150,000,000 of people, and wished to get it
cheap. Neither she nor her colonies produced
silver, while we produced about one half of
the whole annual product. She became a bear
in the silver market and sent skillful agents
here, and such proceedings were had, unbe
known to our people, that a few lines slipped
into a bill relating to the mint, demonetized
silver. She then could buy our silver cheap
to supply the 150,000,000 of people in her Asi
atic dependencies ; while the gold from her
mines in Australia and New Zealand, equally
in amount to nearly one-half the gold product
of the world, was vastly enhanced in value.
Germany, from the days of Hermann, had
used silver for money • but as a result of the
ate war she extorted $1,000,000,000 of gold,
or gold obligations, from France, and then be
lievinr she had not only emptied France of
gold, but controlled more ready gold than all
the other European nations, thought to doub
le her own power and still further weaken
France by demonetizing silver and so enhance
the purchasing power of liar 51,000,000,000 of
- al-extorted French gold and reduce the pur
chasing power of the silver money left in
Francer—Arp, arently, it was-for the moment a
great stroke of "blood and iron" statesman
ship; but it was a violation of the laws of
trade ; it, as it were, cut off at home one of
the legs of German industry, and has caused
her ever since to hobble along at an uncertain
pace until now her people are floundering in
financial distress ; while France, with her sil
ver and gold, has nearly recovered from the
loss of the $1,000,000,000.
Clearly, England and Germany in this mat
ter are not examples for us tofollow. They bad
special reasons for depressing silver, while we
have special reasons for enhancing its value.
In demonetizing it we were made a tool by
them ; we did a stupid thing and did it in a
stupid way. The opponents of its remoneti
zation in the light of the distress of the last
three years in'this country and Germany are
like the man Solomon speaks of when he says ;
"Though thou shouitlst bray him in a mor
tar * * yet will not his foolishness depart
from him."
• Our legislators at Washington are the po
litical agents, the trustees of the people. They
have in demonetizing silver abused their trust
and made the burdens on the backs of the
people heavier and more grievous to be borne.
They have no right to say by a law that debts
contracted in silver or gold shall be payable
only in the dearer metal. This, so far as the
debtor is concerned, is impairing the obliga
tions of the contract with a vengeance. They
have no right to alter in the least the terms of
the bonds issued, whether it be to favor the
one party to the bond or the other. The peo
ple, notwithstanding the New York City press,
understand the question. They want right
done and they mean to have it. If this Con
gress will not remonetize silver they will
choose another that will. If the Executive
vetoes a reasonable bill for this purpose they
will take care that the next Executive is wiser.
—..—
Our mines are producing $30,000,000 of sil
ver per year ; it will take at this rate at least
ten years to supply the people with silver
enough for their daily small transactions. The
large transactions will never actually be dorie
with either silver or gold, but with paper, con
vertible into silver or gold.
If the Secretary of the Treasury can sell a
gold bond at a lower rate of interest than a
silver one, let a law be passed authorizing in
clear teruls a gold bond. If others prefer a
silver bond, let another law authorize a silver
bond. Then we shall have a gold bond, a sil
ver bond and the bonds at present authorized
payable in either silver or gold, at the option
of the Government. .
All that is required of governmento in finan
cial matters is strict. absolute, unvarying in
tegrity—leaning neither to the creditor nor to
the debtor class.
The ratio between gold and silver varies ev
ery century ; but the necessity of both for
money has for 4,000 years been a constant
quantity, and whl remain such. It is wise for
us to recognize these facts and act -on thew
without further delay.

BAR Room Row.—On Thursday last
severs, young men from the country, named
Charlie Laid, Dom. Laird, Edware Cook, and
Tom Trawler, were in the bar-room of G. W.
Briggs, on the corner of Cromwell and Elliott
Street, drinking. Everything passed off
pleasantly until one of the party procured a
bottle of whisky to take home, when one of the
others commenced tussling with him for the
whisky ; lie was thrown down and the whisky
spilled. Mr. Briggs then told them he wouid
have no such work in his house. The owner
of the spilled whisky, then said he would
treat and they would make it up. Mr. Briggs
said be bad no objections to making it up,
but they could get no more whisky from him.
This made the men very angry and they said
they would rid out the room. After some
further talk and quarreling they started as if
to go out, but as the last one got to the dlor
he said to the rest that he intended to rid that
ranche ont, and turning round, hit a Mr.
Brown, who was sitting there a disinterested
spectator, a tremendous kick. Mr. Brown,
struck back, and having a knife in his hand
with which he was whittling, inflicted a slight
cut on the side of his head. By this time the
others had entered the room attain and the
fight became general. After considerable
difficulty they were put out and the door
closed. They then commenced a bombard
ment of the house with scones, brick bats, and
anything they could lay their hands on,
breaking the doors and windows and complete
ly demoralizing the room, some of the stones
even going inside to the bar, and breaking
bottles and glasses. By this time the ex
citement was becoming great—women and
children Were running hither and thither,
cries of murder and oaths and curses were
beard. A considerable crowd had gathered
as spectators and through their Intervention
the riot was quelled. The parties concerned
left without being arrested, but returned in a
day or so and gave themselves up, and entered
bail for their appearance at court.
The above are the facts of this most dis
graceful affair, which should be thoroughly
investigated and the guilty punished.—Orbi

THE HOLIDAYS AT OAK HALL.—With
an experience of seventeen years in providing
the public with clothes, Wanamaker & Brown
are far beyond the possibility of mistake in
preparing exactly what is wanted. Their
popular resort has now over a million dollars'
worth of well-made and well assorted clothing
and furnishing goods, and as the prices are all
marked down from ten to thirty per cent.,
there is a tremendous rush of buyers.
The great Forty Days' sale now going on at
Oak Hall is not the closing out of a broker. lot
of winter goods. Instead of waiting till after
New Year to put prices down, Wanawaker &
Brown reduced everything in their fresh and
unbroken stock, shortly afier the middle of
November, thus affording the public amp!e
opportunity for selection from the largest and
most varied stock ever offered in Philadelphia.
The people have shown their appreciation of
this enterprise by coming in even greater
throngs than ever before, and availing them
selves of the rare opportunities for bargaiuS
which the present great sale affords.
In addition to the immense business carried
on at Oak Hall in selling to people who conic
in person to buy, a large force is kept busy in
attending to the "mail order" department..
This is especially worthy the attention of
those of our readers who cannot make it con
venient to go to Philadelphia. They may write
for samples of .goods and directions for self
measurement, with the certainty that their
orders will be as accurately filled, and their
interests as carefully guarded, as if they were
personally present.
The well-established reputation of Oak
Hall is such that people know they will get
the worth of their money in dealing there.
Oak Hall clothes make capital Christmas
presents.
OBITUARY.—Death of a Venerable La
dy.—in oar death notices on Saturday it was
stated that Mrs. Rachael Lyon Campbell had
died on the 27th ult. at her home in Union
town, Mrs. Campbell was the widow of the
late venerable Doctor Hugh Campbell. Dr.
Campbell was, a few years ago, warden of the
Western Penitentiary, and resided with his
family in Allegheny city. It is but a year or
two since, having retired to Uniontown, the
theater for many years of his extensive prac
tice as a physician, Doctor Campbell, at a
good old age, and with bis fine reputation as
a skilled physician and Christian gentleman,
was gathered to his fathers. Now Mrs. Camp
bell has gone :to join him in Paradise. She
4 , 16 a lady conspicuous chiefly for intelligence
and for domestic life. The few in Allegheny
who enjoyed her acquaintance rtgiirded her
as a type of the ladies of the old school in so
many ways better than the modern. She was
devoted to her family and to her church,
rarely appearing elsewhere than at her home,
where she was distinguished by a cordial and
refined hospitality, and by all the virtues and
graces of the Christian wife, mother and
neighbor. She bap, for several years,
alternated between sickness and health, and
finally her constitution yielded to the attacks
o.f disease, and she is numbered with the
blessed dead who die in the Lord. We extend
to the stricken family our heartfelt sympathy
and condolence.—Plitthurgh Commercial Ga

A J U DIC AI. OPINION OF "DRUMMERS."
—The following, from the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
has been handed us for publication : "In the
trial of a suit before the lowa Supreme Court,
Lrought by a commercial traveler against a
railway for being ejected from a train, Judge
Hubbard, of Cedar Rapids, took occasion to
denounce "drtpnmers" in the following fash
ion : "It may be stated now, as a matter of
history that the Court will take judical notice
(.1, that this class of men are the 'hardest lot'
ou earth. They monopolize rill the best rooms
in all the best hotels ; they insult or seduce
all the chambermaids between Maine and the
Gulf of Mexico and between the Atlantic and
the Pacific Oceans every month in the calen
dar year ; they rush into the ladies' car on
every railroad in the United States arid Canada
every day, and crowd into the seat of every
respectable lady traveling alone, and insult
her in five minutes afterward ; they travel
with harlots, and make assignation houses on
every Saturday - night ofevery hotel in America ;
they have flirtations, intrigues and elopements
with innocent, unsuspecting and respectable
young girls in every city and village on the
continent; they pursue virtue and goodness
as sharks pursue a ship with the yellow fever
—and still the learned counsel thinks the con
ductors ought to be amiable enough to love
them. There may be men in other callings
who for a single vice can challenge a compar
ison with commercial tourists, but I have
never seen them. But for a combination in
harmonious blending in dishonesty, impu
dence, cowardice, poltroonery, lechery and
leprous rascality of all varieties, they stand
without a rival and without a peer. "'

PROCEEDINGS OF IHE HUNTINGDON
COUNTY TEACHERS INSTITUTE.--The County
Teachers' Institute assewbled, pursuant to previ
ous notice, in the Court House on Monday last, at
11- P. M.. and was called to order by Superinten
dent McNeal. _
The opening exercises were conducted by Rev.
E. C. S•ockton, of hunting-ton, and consisted in
th.., reading of a portion of scripture, and prayer.
Robt. McDivitt, of Huntingdon was, on motion,
electe Recording Secretary, and Samuel Weight,
of Springfield, and Thus. Chileote, of Union, as
Enrolling Secretaries.
The roll of tevbe-s beim", called by townships,
it appealed that 85 were present and answered to
their names.
In the electiun for a committee on Permanent
Certificates, Mr. K. H. Or-ene, and Misses Ella S.
Montague, and Manilla Stevens, were appointed
as tellers.
REMARKS BY THE SUPERINTENDEST,
Mr. McNeal, Superintendent, addressed a few
remarks to the teachers present, congratulating
them on tne number enrolled, and expressing the
hope that all had come for the purpose of being
materially benefitted by the exercises and the in
structions to be given from time to time.
He referred to the fact that there was in some
portions of the county, some opposition to the In
stitute, arising from the fact that teacheis came
simply for a holiday and not to take part in the
exercises, and that they had not when present giv
en the proper attention to the instructions, and
trusted that no occasion would be given for the
repetition of similar complaints, but that the
teachers would guard against it by promptness in
attendance and an earnest desire to profit by the
exercises. The teachers receive the time occupied
in attending the Institute, and it is their duty to
be as prompt as in the school room.
There are three classes of teachers that attend
the Institute; the first listen attentively to the
instructions given but fail to put it in practical
operation, alleging that it does not meat their cir
cumstances. Another class endeavor to put in
practice everything they hear without exercising
the proper judgment as to whether it is adapted to
their circainstances, and thus disarrange plans
that had previously been used to advantage. The
third class, and the one most benefitted was com—
posed of those that take with them the instructions
imparted here and try to suit it to their particular
circum•tanees, thus forming an eclectic programme
to put in practice in the ecnool room. Every teach
er can do this by taking home something that will
be a benefit to hilts and thus make the Institute
valuable, if disposed to do so. He had beard some
directors remark that their schools had peen ben
efitted 50 per cent. by the instructions received
here, and trusted that this session of the Institute
might be followed by like happy results. He hoped
that those to whom certain subjects had been as—
signed would be ready to respond when called on,
and that we might be able to work up our own
home talent during the early part of the week, be
fore the arrival us the instructors from a distance.
Inc •inpliance with the request of teachers and
citizens of the place. he said, we have made ar
rangements for a course of first-class lectures, and
put the admittance at such reasonable rates as Co
justify them in being patronized by every teacher
and citizen of this place. The lecturers were all
in nossossiou of the highest testimonials, and the
audience couid not fail to be interested and in
strutted In addition to the lectures arrangements
had heed made for a first•class musical treat dur
ing the evening session
The hours of meeting were announced for this
evening at 7 o'clock, and hereafter at 71j. Day
sessions to eminence at 9 A. M., and afternoon
sessions at l P. M. Tee minutes would be alloted
to each speaker in opening subjects for discussion,
to ho followed by five minute speeches, with the
p ivilege of speaking a second time on the same
subject, and Instructors to be limited to half or at
mo-t to three- quaaters of an hour.
Mr. D. M. Giles, of West township, said one of
the objections coming from his township was, that
there was not a sufficient opportunity given for the
developeuient of home talent, the time being ab
sorbed by instructors from a distance, and made a
motion which was seconded, to the effect that the
time for opening discussions be extented to fifteen
minutes.
After some further explanation of the subject by
the County Superintendent a vote was taken on
the motion of Mr. Giles when it was decided in
the negative
Mr. Sheeler, of Huntingdon, offered a resolution
limiting the Instructors to a half hour, and allow
ing fifteen minutes to the teachers, sea body, for
discussion and asking questions on the subject.
This resolution, after some remarks by Messrs.
Giles, Caldwell. and Baker, and some further ex
planations by Mr. Sheeder, was adopted.
The Colivention then adjourned till 7 o'clock P.M;
EVENING SESSION.
Music "Hours of Sun shine" by the choir under
the supervision of Prof. E. C. Stockton.
The Tellers appointed to conduct the election
of a committee on permanent certificates reported
the following persons as elected: Misses It. M.
Miller, Emma Isenberg, Prof. J. I. White, and
Messrs. W. H. Speeder and G. W. Sanderson.
ADDRESS BY GEORGE B. ORLADY, ESQ,
Subject—" The Jury of last resort." He took
for his position that the jury of last resort was the
ballot, in the hands of a free people and that all
questions involving the rights of government, of
person and of property in a government of and by
the people, are there decided, and dwelt forcibly
and eloquently ou the importance of the education
of the masses up to an intelligent exercise of the
right of suffrage as a means of cleansing the
streams of modern political corruption. We have
to-day, in the United States, two million of il
literate voters 1,700,000 of these are in the southern
states, owing to the mass of enfranchised igno
rance. In the eastern and middle states there are
four per cent of the population over ten years of
age, unable to read. Pennsylvania, with a popu
lation of 3.800,000 has 800,000 children attending
school, and 132,000 unable to read and nearly
200,000 unable to write. In Huntingdon county,
with a populatior of 35,000 at the last census,
8,000 children were attending school, and nearly
2,000 unable to read and write. Not long ago in
this court room a defendant was tried by a jury
and found not guilty but sentenced to pay th•
costs, in default of which he was committed to
ja,l, and a short time afterwards four of his friends
joined him in a judgment note to protect the
county in releasing him from prison, and out of
the the names only one was written, the other
four maliing their mark, and the written name
was that of the defendant himself. What have
we done as a nation to relieve us of this load? He
treced the history of legislative enactment for the
edunfoion of the masses in the State from the days
of William Penn to the present and said, there has
been enough legislation, and now the people are
responsible. To carry out these provisions is one
of the duties of the teacher, so that the whole mass
of citizens be intelligent and that every ballot be
cast by a thinking mind. The poor man's college
is at the poor man's dour, and tne academy of the
masses in the centre of every community. The
last barrier to success would be taken away if the
patrons could be induced to visit the schools, but
the inoompetent teacher dreads nothing more than
the presence of the patron. When all the people
are intelligent we will see a revolution greater
-than war, and when your teaching of the children
brings this result then is your mission fulfilled.—
There can be no wealth with ignorance, and with
education there can be no poNerty.
Music by the choir.
The subject "Functions of Teachers' Institutes,
county and local," was presented tor discussion,
and opened by Mr. J. G. Corbin, of Brady
Mutual instruction And the gainiag of better
knowledge, and greater capacity to teach the
several branches, and the enlargement of our views
are some of the fuo.ctions of the Teachers Institute.
Dr. J. S. Patton of Huntingdon followed with
, ome practical remarks, when Rev. I. N. Hays, of
Shippensburg, was introduced and addressed the
Institute in connection with the topic under con
sideration. The ends to be gained by such gather
ing together of teachers, is first to increase in
knowledge of the branches we teach, getting new
suggestioes as to the znanagenrent and best means
of doing our work, together with the social in
fluence created. This is one of the greatest works
ever God put jnto the hands of a living man, the
development of the physical, intellectual and moral
nature of the child; to lead, guide and control the
unborn propensities that God has placed there.—
You make impressions in the child that will go
with it to the judgment seat. When the Son of
God left his throne and became a teacher of men
I am not ashamed to stood in Hir plane. No class
of men or women are exerting a more powerfql
fluenoe than the 17000 or 18000 .eachers of Penn
sy Engage in the work with a single pur
pee in view and never disparage your calling.

Music— 'Nearer my God to thee."
Devotional exercises conducted by Rev. I. N.
Hayes.
Minutes read and approved.
Rev. I. N. Hays addressed the Institute on the
subject "Tact in School Management." Many
fail, not from want of talent but Prow want of tact.
They cannot use what they know in such a way as
to be successful. This is true in regard to the
management of every busiriess. What is ,school
management? A well adjusted plan, embracing
the thing to be done, the amount, and the plan of
operation. Undertake but one thing at a time.—
Be thorough in everything you undertake. Be
earnest and enthusiastic in doing whatever you
undertake. Tact is to adapt the means, time and
character you have to deal with one to the other
so as to produce the best possible r,sults. The
first thing is a comprehanske plan. Business men
lay their plans, and a successful general will first
fight his imaginary battles in his mind. Many a
man has failed because he undertook to much.—
The best teachers arrange to du su much in given
period, and the anticipation serves as a stimulus
to teacher and scholar alike. Every teacher shouid
have a system, with just as much variety as pos
sible. Co-operation is one of the elements of
success. Do everything thoroughly. Better spend
a week in learning to read one paragraph thoroughly
than to read through the book carelessly. Cheer
fulness of disposition and temper were productive
of great good, and imported a wonderful influence.
Do not give the child what is beyond its power to
accomplish. Give him what he is able to du and
he goes at it with spirit and energy. Encourage
a judicious spirit of emulation, and stimulate your
pupils by an appeal to one of the noblest principles
in our nature, the desire to excel so as to reach a
more excellent point. The school that has no
emulation is not likely to have its name written
high on the role of fame.
In the discussion of this question Mr. Giles, of
West township, said he believed in thorough work.
but the popular sentiment was in favor of hurry
ing the pupils on, and we have to please the peo
ple. There are already More branches introduced
into the schools than can be taught successfully.
Mr. Sheeder, of Huntingdon, spoke of the amount
of work necessary in the school room, and spoke
of the rotatory process, or that of hearing a part
of the lessons one day and commencing next day
where we have left off.
Mr. Hays, said the principal objection to this
was on account of the confusion it occasioned in
the minds of the scholars, they not knowing when
their turn would come to recite.
Mr. Corbin, of Union, was in favor of this plan.
He had adopted it this winter with very good sue
cess, and always found plenty of time. It had oc
casioned no confuFion in his school.
Mr. Baker, of Marklesburg, had practiced this
revolving process with very good success.
Mr. J. 0. Corbin, of Brady, was decidedly op
posed to this plan, and believed in having a set
progratome for every day. Ilow would small
classes especially know, under the rotatory plan,
when they were to recite?

are ready: The great buildings at Sixth

...........
illipla. WANAMAKER & BROWN'S Cloths and ye%
Cassimeres are, in many instances, made
expressly for them. No house in the trade
confines itself so exclusively , to the first
class manufacturers. Indeed, a long and
mature experience is necessary to know
just what goods to select and makeup.
WANAMAKER & BROWN'S Order De
partment will be found full of fabrics
of every good kind, either Novel and
Fashionable styles or the plainer and
more useful things. Talented cutters, who
have been successful for years in our
wowservice, are in waiting to make garments
according to the ideas of the people who
are to wear the goods. Good hands aro
employed to make up, and only good
trimmings used.
WANAMAKER & BROWN'S Ready-
Made Department offers every accommo
dation to those who do not care to go
through the process of measurement. The
stock in all Departments for Men and Boys
is immense and complete, and does not
lack in style, workmanship or finish,
while the prices can be proven to be
nearly, if not quite, 25 cents on the dollar
lower than the market.
WANAMAKER & BROWN'S Little Boys'
and Youths' Clothing has always been a
well-caretl-for and prominent feature of
the business. All ages can be fitted, and •
the styles are not surpassed—the " fits "
have always been the stilij ect of admiration
