Signs ol The Tib.
Calculating that tiie Silver Bin
® I
will certainly become law, there is
certainly basis fur congratulation.
There id a faint hope that the cancer,
but slightly rooted in the corpus of
our government has been checked
and in future may be prevented from
distroying the American Repub
lic. Our statesmen have more to
fear from the national, state and
municipal indebtedness, than anj 7
ton other tilings combined- These
debts necessarily produce heavy tax
ation. Of all the governments of
the eaith no one is as much endan
gered by heavy taxation as ours. The
late internecine war added much to
our woes in this regard. And just
now is the time to check the increase
of these woes. This and former in
debtedness have produced a class
who are living on the funded debt
of the government. It was truly
said by Lord Chatham when this
same trouble began in England, that
‘•When the funds are falling, we may
be sure the country is rising.” Can
we not consider the converse of this
proposition true? Is it not
an absolute fact that the funds
have been going up and the country
go ng down? We are told that there
are “four hundred thousand very
rich men in this country, who
largely acquired their wealth by
Credit Mobeher schemes and kindred
iniquities” It is charged that
they are waiving on and
rapidly destroying the produc
ing interests and the middle classes.
This should not, be, and we hope the
charge grows out of the fact that
the industries of the country are
puralized, and that in the absence
of a better cause, the above is as
sumed. It were not so important
to warn against such a course in a
government like Rome or England,
as in a republic like ouis. Yet we
learn from history that such things
contributed largely to Rome’s and nvn
fa 1. Ours is a nicely balanced sys
tem, worked by public opinion, and
is constitilted to reflect the interests
and the feelings of the people, whose
Si use is taken by parts in such a
manner as to obtain every possible
security in self-interest for the ex
pression of just and sound sentiment.
This being the ease there can be no
class to hold a disputed mastery
over all the others, as is the ease in
England. Now the signs of the
times in licate the supremacy, or
attempted supremacy of a class of
fund holders, sometimes called
“bloated bondholders.” Wh n they
succeed as they are attempting,to se
cure a mortgage on the future labor
and productive industry of the United
States, they will work the machin
ery of currency, hold the very sinews
of motion in Government, and not
only control the value of currency,
but will control the entire credit of
the country. For three months the
elements m C ingress have been
warring and the result is the restora
tion of the old Constitutional dollar,
with limited coinage.
Iu this connection another feature
presents itself. We all know that
an individual, may die and be thou
sands or millions in debt. His pos
terity are not responsible for one
cent of that indebtedness.
But it is different with the State and
the General Government, municipal
or railroad corporations. When
debts are created by borrowing mon
ey and issuing bonds to be paid in
the iuture, with exorbitant interest,
we do posterity an injustice. When
we consider that the national wealth,
only averages about three per cent
per annum, while the increase of
population is about the same, any
interest above three per cent, will be
exorbitant. It is said that the total
of any given sum at the end of one
hundred years (interest being added
to the principal annually) at four
per rent would he nearly three times
as much as at three per cent ; at five
percent, more than six times; at six
per cent, more than eighteen times,
and at ten percent more than seven
hundred and tvvent} r five times as
much as it would be at th rco. per cent.
The American people should con
sider well these questions. Much
of future success, safety and pros
perity depend upon them.

otives which prompt the publi
nof such a monthly magazine.
y are to be commended by every
- athernor who feels that the history
of Southern achievements should be
correctly recorded for the benefit of
the future historian. When the men
living who participated in the battles
of the late war, die the chances for
obtaining the truth and the facts so
far as the South is concerned will be
gotie. The purpose ol the publican
tion is to obtain these facts, now
from the living and record them for
the future historian. It is well
known that the North has produced
several volumes. They tell the story
as the other side would have it told
We need to haye the story told from
our stand point and by ourselves.
We are told tnat the captured archi
ves are under lock and key at Wash
ington, and no Confederate soldier or
writer will ever have access to them.
Such requests have been uniformly
and firmly denied. This “Archive
Bureau” recently applied to the
Southern Historical Society for some
of its manuscripts, and the courtesy
was granted, on the condition that it
was reciprocated at Washington; the
proposition was refused, showing the
jealous care with which the Confed
erate records are guarded from pub
lic scrutiny. All of these things
strongly illustrate our pove"ty in the
way of available historical material.
They further demonstrate a most
important fact: That the Story of
our achievements to a great extent,
exists only in the memories of the
living actors. Thus we see the peril
we are in, of “haying taken from us
even that we have.” The North
has told its story, and if we let slip
the opportunity of using our living
witnesses, the future will most cer
tainly give judgment against us.

Senator Hill’s Speech.
M e published lait week Mr. Hills
Speech, because he said, the news
papers would not publish his speech
and;
si tion. We certainly never intended
to misrepresent any public man.
We have our opinions and we al
ways express the n, no matter with
whom they agree or differ. So
far as the Bland Silver bill was con
cerned lie was opposed to the unlim
ited coinage of silver. We have not
been and are not opposed to it. He
says unlimited coinage will flood the
country witli silver and drive gold
from us. Suihis not the result of
free coinage heretofore and the past
is said to be a good crit lion by
which to judge the future.
But the country has been surfeited
with the gas ab rnt silver and gold.
We have given you his speech and
you have doubtless read it and ei
ther agree or disagree with him.
The House accepted the Senate
amendments and the bill now goes
to the President. See the lull text
of the bill on our first page.
Largest Organ in America.
The largest organ in America is
now being put up in Music Hall at
Cincinnati, Ohio. It ranks with the
largest in the world. It lias
6.2 )7 ppes, while the Boston Music
Hall organ has only 5,474 pipes, the
Boston Cathedral organ 5,294 pipes
and Brooklyn Plymouth Church or
gan 5,231 pipes. It is seventy-five
feet high fifty feet wide and thirty feet
deep. A hydraulic motor of fifte n
horse power will be employed to op
erate the five bellows, which set the
air in f o a musical tremor equally in
the hugest and the most diminutive
p pes. It will bo up and ready for
use without some unaccountable de
lay, by the first of May.
Texas Pacific.
For some months the question of a'd

Texas Pacific Railroad has been ag
hating Congress. The Senate and
House committees have been hearing
those who have been pleased to in

The capacity of the mint now
agitates the public mind. The Di
rector of the mint in his last report
said the mint was able to coin about
two millions a month without inter
fering with the gold and fractional

sylvania who served a long time on
the Committee on Coinage thinks the
mints can coin four millions a month
without interfering with gold or frac
tional silver.

SABBATH THOUGHTS.
Ily IIAUMAiV HEATH.
NUMBER ONE.
“Thou shalt have no other gods be
fore me.” Jehovah designed to descend
upon Sinais lofty summit, and amid the
thunders roar and li'dituiugs flash pro
mulgated through his servant,Moses the
Decalogue; that code of moral laws, in
tended for his chosen people the chib
dren of Israel, and after the sacrifice of
the great offering—Jesus Christ—for all
who desire an inheritance in the
ly Canaan.
The words here quoted from the first
commandment, which aside from the
peculiar circumstances under which
they were uttered, were the divine im
press of the great I Am. The positive
ness here expressed is characteristic of
the inspired writings throughout; for
in them we fiud no other than impera
tive order.-; not that we may or may
not; but that we shall, or shall not;
this together with the sublimity of
thought and grandeur of style serves to
prove their authenticity and the sover
eign will and power of God.
The recognition of the one Supreme
B: ing, and one alone, is the basis ol
true religion; remove t his basis and re
ligion with its principles and doctrines
is re bleed to a level with heathenish
myths. This assertion is , LM
to suppose that a fabrication however
well constructed could staud after hav
ing its foundation sapped and under
mined.
It is not only necessary to have faith in
the existence of God, but there must be
no other gods before him, or we cannot
have that hope which is founded in the
merits of a crucified and risen Redeem
er.
The words “I am a jealous God,’’
are in themselves of mighty import and
warn us of the danger consequent upon
halting between two opinions, and also
evidence that they who would be truly
religious must unconditionally surren •
der the heart to God. lie must have
the preference or we cannot enjoy the
tranquility and happiness that com
fort the true Christian in his earthly
pilgrimage.
Other gods beside the eternal I Am,
have existed ever since the fate of our
first parents; exist now, and will exist
until the angel shall “appear and stand
ag with one foot upon the land and
the other upou the sea declare that time
sh ill be no more. ”
Israel even dared, while their great
law-giver and leader Moses was on the
mouutand received from God the law and
testimony upon the stone tables, to rear
the golden calf and bowing to it with
shouts of praise and with timbrel and
harp worshipped the sordid dust; and to
it returned thanks for tlieir deliverance
from the armed hosts of Egypt. Aaron
the high priest of the most High God
condescended to olßciate in his sacerdo*
tal robes at the ottering of sacrific s
and incense, the smoke of which ascend
ed to heaven in solemn mockery of the
true God.
From the long lists of Roman and
Grecian deities, we find that man in all
stages of the world, has been prone to
woiship false gods. Though the Gre
cians, Romans and all contemporaneous
nations h ive passed away, and now on
ly exist in the pages of profane history;
the principles of idolatrous worship fos
tered by them, are yet perpetuated by
modern heathenism. May God speed
the day when by the dissemination of
Christs doctrines this black cloud shall
be scattered and instead beam the bright
sunshine of Gods promise to man.
“There is a pla;e, a holy place above.
Where Anjeln holy dwell in light and love;
There is a God, a Holy God who reigns,
And holy empire over all maintains.”

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock —with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined, that the full alterative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purg i out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun
