The government has no right to levy tax j es except for revenue"limited lo the no-j cessitica of the government economically J iadministered. Listen to the United State: supreme court composed of a ma- j Ijority of Republican judges, appointed by a Republican president: "To lay with one hand the power of the government upon j i the property of the citizens and with Hie other to bestow it upon favored individu als. to aid private enterprises, and to build up private fortunes, is none the less rob* j bery because it is done under the forms J of law and U called taxation." 20 Wall, p. oG7.

I WES SlLVdl. j He says that he wants free silver. : When did he reach that conclusion? Who I ever hoard him say anything about free j silver, before the present canvass? When, ! uhcre, and in whose presence did he. nd j voeate free silver? When did lie de nounce the demonitizcr of f?*cc silver, (lie par'y with whom he is at present alliliat ing ami which in 1 873 deiiioiiiti/.ed silver like a thief in the night? Democracy is the friend, Republicanism fcttfo enemy of [.the white metal, whicii is well known tu all the world except I ho Navarrcs. Silver and gold was used side by side before and through the w&K Silver was struck down in the night-time by the R-oubli can parVyiirl?73. From th:ii time until 1?73 it was not legal money. In \SJ? l!lL' Hl.-ind Act was passod for the chinage of a certain amount c:vch month. Shortly al t^ wanis the Ulahd-Allison Act was pas.. ed which provided for the purchase of silver to be converted into bjlver dollars and stored in the Tre.iHuty upon (he issue j of silver certificates. Ali Win time lib coinage of gold was un?uiitod except !<?? the supplv. The coinage of ^Iver w#f limited and rcsiricled by'the fofu^'ii party. ?qJ(J appreciated in yai,uc.

If the Republican party was foe free silver why did it not give it to us? As a party ft has always been and i? no* opposed to silver. \\ hat can he do fn opposition to thc political party'of which be clalma to bo the nominee. The Republican party lias declared against free silver in its nat? ional platform. Senators Allen and Stewart, p| Nevada, have jusl aban.dotrj ed the Republican party because ii would not endorse free silver, the staple article of their state: Senator Jones, of Neva? da has done likewise. Yet the Naverres declare for free silyar in the Dtb district ol \ irginia where none is found. Will they dominate the policy ?>{ the Republi? can party and compel free silver? Free silver is a good thing provided ii does not tui n to dust in your hands. We wan! p good dollar, whether ii be of silver or gold, iron or lead, copper or tin. wheat or tobacco. Democracy is sound currency. It is for a dollar that remain--, the skfnc in t he bud of spring, the bloom of sum? mer, the fruits of autumn and the snows of winter; h is a dollar invariable and withoul Hie ?li?dow ol turning?the same ina the rich man's eoflers and the poor in mi's pocket. A i: ALLOT AX I) A I AIK ? Ol NT. . t H" says thai he wants a {reo 1.allot and a lair count. Where did he gel this? From William Mahohc or Pat McCalT? From Cameron who said thai the paring ofMabono's toe-nails were wotAh more, than all the aristocracy of Virginia. <>r does he breath sentiments of Ingalle,Hoar, Heid, of New York, an 1 Rcid, of Maine, and other waivers of the bloody shirt, lie said in his speech at JJoeahoutas, there were no fair elections in Virginia, and none in the South. When did elections in Virginia become unfair'.' !5i lurer?r after he ceased to be -t si.nidi!:;; candi? date for every olltco in sieht. fie said in the same speech thai (.he Republicans down South don't prelcud to vote.

Mahone Said there v. en: no fair eleclions in the S iiih. 1!?- denounced Malione as a liar and a slanderer. He now repeats as the truth the very things he then de? nounced as lies and slander. Was it a Ira?id when he was elected to the legisla: turu of Virginia as a Democrat? Was there fraud when he was elected Lieuten? ant governor of the State? Was fraud in rogu'i witeir-ho aspired to the Aln-rney Gpnerals'iip? Did he aspire to be sent to Congress, as a Democrat by fraud? If there was fraud why did llC reap the fruit of sin in silence?

"Peace hath her victories no less removed than war." 1 suppose the nominee of the Ptepubli can party was a good soldier for his com rades said he yri feather from h I would not pluck eap of fame. We are more interested in his present course. The Soitt he: n soldier gained renown that has never been equaled by the supporters of a lost cause. They were the noblest j men thai ever swung a sabre or shoulder? ed a muket. The kuightlicsl warrior: that j cannon shot or trumpet flourish ever sunt? molied to battle. They were inen whose spirits never faltered, whose courage nev? er wavered, whose resolve never failed lit rough four years of strife. They were men whose indomitable ardour has no parallel in ti.e annals j.j mankind. The fields drenched with thcir blbod and lorn ?villi their untimely agony can never bo called lost as hing as the word honor re- j tains its meaning in our language. The j world recognizes the desperate nature of the struggle they mad.- and life fearful odds againsi which they foughi and has long sinccs.doncjustice to whal they con-' sidcred to be the right.

Their names arc nol inscribed upon a sky-piercing col? umn, bul on a monument more enduring than brass or marble. Their votes are no longer apoliticalfactor thai may not be ignored, but,.nevertheless, fl is a privi? lege, it i> a riglit.il is a duty to those who fell upon the field of battle to treasure the themoi id: ?l' i lie past.
