EIu tmm?.t TUB WAMEOUI qrKsiios. And now, then, we arc told by the din patches that lb tilver men In Washington wili not support Windoin's Uvcr scheme. As was Hated by the Democrat at the time hi scheme was made public, tUe t!l ver men can not be brought to support it for it practic?lly destroys silver as a legal tender circulating cedtum. As a matter of fact this silver question is the sain old war between the gold bugs and the great mass of the ptople. Toe gold bugs want a contraction of the currency or circula ting medium of the country in order that Its purchasing pover may be relatively Increased. Money has no absolute value. Its value Is only relative. To make mon ey scarce is to increase its purchasing power. To increase the circulating me dium is to diminish Its purchasing power. The creditor is benefitted by contraction because it increases the purchasing pow er of his dollars, T.ie debtor is injured by contraction because It increases the purchasing power of the dollars which he owes, and, relatively speaking, weakens his ability to obtain money. In 1S73 the republican leaders in congress, at the dic tation of these bondholders and gold bugs, passed a law demonetizing silver that is destroying its legal tender quality. It was done in a stealthy way and the people were not apprized of the pis sage of the law until several months after its passage. The business and commercial depression that followed was so wide spread and far reaching In Us effects that a clamor was set up for a restoration of silver. The democrats took the lead in this move ment, bnt they were warned by these re publican congressman that a financial panic would follow the remonitization of silver, that gold would a'.l be driven out of the country, aud that v would have nothing left but cheap and depreciated money to do the bii&incss of the country A'ilh. But the necessities of the people were great and the effort to restore silver was kept up until it culminated in the pas sage of the Bland bill in ig7S which pro vided that govenment should purchase sil ver bullion Irom time to time and coin not less than two millions nor more than four millions per month. At the time of the passage of this act $32 to $23 in silver were necessary to purchase $20 in gold. But tfince the law went into operation sil ver dellars have circulated bv the side of gold without any evil effects to either cur rency, Vnfottunatety for the merits of silver we have not had a secretary of the treasury who was in anv wise friendly to It, and no attemptcn the part of the treav. ury department has ever been made to treat it fairly and put It in calculation either by republican or democratic offi cials. '1 he bond holders are largely in fluent uu 11 Mi! attempt to destroy silver as a ci.-i mvlium, fur the reason, tha. a ;i ittcr of law, their bonds are redc.nahk i . the legal tender coin in use when the bo..d were Issued under the re minding sch em , and they fear they may b; compelled to take silver dollars in pay merit for their bonds. But the sentiment of the country is largely In favor of the use of silver and Win dam's scheme will fall to the ground and be almost forgotten In a few weeks. People are not to be freightdied into giving up silver on the ground that its continued cohiag wiil drive gold out of our markets into foreign ones, for they have bush that matter test ed. Silver is a'l right, I J The delegates from the country districts promise to make things lirely for the Tort land jobbers at the next republican state con tention.

Thi teems to be an artistic era, and in no field Is there a finer taste displayed than in the manufac urc of presents for the holiday trade. We wonder at the skill used In the Invention of many of the things seen at Kosluy & Macon's purchased for Christmas giving. Not alone Christmas cards, In many and varied styles, in beautifully blended colors and Ingcnius designs ; but as well their albums perfumery case, toilet sets, dres sing cases, ctcshow the same refined tkill In construction and embellishment. An examination of Foehav & Mawn'i holiday Mock is an art exhibition of itself. Put it is not a display of the ornamental alone by any means. " Many useful articles are rone the less valuable becau attractive to the eye ; but the more should besought. A love of the beautiful even in articles of utility shows a higher civilization and no where are the people of the world more geneioiw of their appreciation of nice things than In Albany and Linn county.
