"I, Black Eaglet, the Shoshone," was the reply, and the next instant the young Indian was before the flre. "Comest thou alone?" "I do." "Then go thou to the other side at the flre, for thy acts have brought a flre between thee and me.'' The young Indian obeyed promptly, and the Prophet advanced to the fire. "I am and want to continue your friend," said Black Eagle, with an ex pression of awe and wonder on his keen face. "Can the man be my friend who as sociates with my foes? Talk not to me of friendship I You came here in pur suit of Loum Kyle," said the Prophet, dropping his usual form of the pronoun. "The Prophet mistakes." replied Black Eagle. "We saw the flre from far down the valley. Never do I remem ber seeing one before in this place, so I came to learn what it might mean." "And nor that thou hast learned?'' "Now I will return to the camp of the white men." "Aye, return and say to Bouton and his murderers that you found Daniel the Prophet kneeling beside his altar flre. And further say that he was praying that the Great Spirit might destroy the Ishmarlltes, who thirst for the blood and the ipoils of those journeying to the promised land '' "I shall go." "Go and oome not again near me! Go, Black Eagle, to thy fellows! Once thou wert a child I feel and clothed and taught thee. Now thou hast rejected my teachings and fled So go, and come not near me again forever V" The Indian lowered his head and withdrew, but he had not been gone many minutes when the Prophet follow ed on his trail with strides swift and silent Black Eaglo returned to the outlaw camp and was telling, with awe writ ten on his countenance, what he had seen, when a step was heard In the darkness, and before an exclamation of surprise could be uttered the Prophet stood in their midst. His erect, gigantic form was particularly distinguished by contrast with a number of men, and the light in his eyes looked as If caused by fires behind The outlaws, from the leader down, had a dread of this man, who more than once had ap peared among them to utter incompre hensible prophecies or to deter them from their contemplated dee*ls of death and plunder. The Prophet looked slowly about him, as if reading the thoughts in every face. The silence was becoming painful, wh< n Bouton broke it by saying : "We are glad to IK-c tlie iv^^i.ri again." "Glad!" repeated the Prophet. "That is what I said" "And you would have me believe the lie?" "You are taking advantage of an old privilege now," said Bouton, a greener tinge coming to his face. "If you can not bo a gentleman, you must remain away." " A gentleman!" exclaimed the Proph et, and he hastily brushed the red beard from his lips and showed his even, white teeth. "A gentleman that remained voluntary for an hour in such company would lose his character on earth and be damned through all the aeons of eternity.'' 1 'Then why do you come?" "I come, as before, to warn you. " " Wo have not heeded your warnings, yet we survive and prosper. " ' 'Aye, as the wolf prospers away from the hunter. But if the hunter pursue, the wolf cannot long escape. What harm have tho peaceful people under Captain Brandon done that ye, claiming to be men, should war on their women and children? Ye who have sisters and re member your mothers—be they living or sainted—depart hence at once, for if ye not ruin will come, as my soul liveth. " The Prophet drew himself up, and as he looked about him his eyee fell on Henry Kyle, who had withdrawn to the edge of the crowd Seeing him, the Prophet called out: "And thou art here?" "As you see, Prophet," replied Hen ry, laughing to hide the blush that crim soned his cheek. "Away, man, before it is too late! Away ere your hands are reddened by tho blood of a brother or his hands be imbued in yours. Tarry not, for thy father's head is bowed, and grief and shame sit on thy mother's heart. The beautiful eyee of thy sister are red with much weeping, and she clasps her white hands in sorrow and despair. " Tho Prophet pointed to the mountain, behind which lay Henry Kyle's home, and in this tragic attitude stood with his long arm extended for some time. Bouton saw that Henry Kyle was affect ed, and knowing his ardent, impulsive nature ho hastened to his side and whis pered: ' 'I must get this man out of camp." "Why not do it, then?" "He will not leave while you are here. Strp away before he opens again. "And I am to begin my work at once?" asked Henry as he tightened his belt. "At once, and the sooner the better," replied Bouton. Henry Kyle, without another word, turned and disappeared in the dense undergrowth on one side of the camp "You have sent him off," said the Prophet when Bouton returned. "You have ordered him to murder. On your head be that blood that is about to be shed " The Prophet shoulderod his rifle and strode in the direction of Captain Bran don's camp. "Hold!" shouted Bouton. "Where are you going?" ''l am going to the aid of the oppreas ed," replied the Prophet, and as he "Go to thy father!" spoke he wheeled and faced the gang with his eyes flaming and his rifle in the hollow of his left arm. "You cannot go there. " "Who can prevent?" "I!" "Prevent me, then. But let me say this: No man ever livsd to flre at me a second time.

In 1886 conjrress passed a law that made pajier money a legal tender for all debts, the paper to be payable in "gold or silver at the optl >n of this government," this being an attempt to make silver at a par with gold. Gold 100 IVr Cant. Premium. This was an Impossibility, for at once tho gold all went out of the oountry and the government was on a silver basis, in spite of Its efforts by legislation to keep gold and silver at a parity. From that time to this there has been no gold in cir culation in Colombia. The effect of this was to raise the pre mium on gold from £0 per cent, in 1885 to 190 per cent, in 1896. At the present time, June 17, exchaage on Now York is 140, t+i« price of exchango depending wholly upon the number of drafts upon the market and the demand for them. As the coffee crop is being shipped at this time and tho merchants for certain reasons are not importing largely, the price of exchange is low. In tho department of Panama paper money is not used, silver being the only medium of circulation, the result being that silver in the other departments has entirely gone out of circulation, and paper is the only money used. If one goes to market in Bogota and of fers silver for his dinner it is refueed. As exchange is lower In Panama than In other parts of the country speculators buy all the silver they can find \t a premium of from 5 to 10 per cent and send it to Pana ma and make a profit. Now, to show the effoct of this upon the people of Colombia I will givo facts that are well authenti cated. Prloes Soar Hp ward. In 1886, whon gold was at a premium of 80 per cent., wages of worklngmen on the plains of Bogota were forty cents a day, and In the hot country sixty cents a day. At the present time wages are sixty and ninety cent* respectively, an advance of 60 per cent. All provisions have Increased in cost about 200 per ceut Meats at that time were selling for from twelve to flf- | teen cents per pound. At the present time they sell for forty and fifty centa. House rents have Increased from 100 to 800 per cent. Mmall tenements, sueh as poor people occupy, could be had in 18S5 for $8 a month: now the same tenements bring 18 In 1884 and 1886 the Protestant minister of Bogota occupied a house for which he paid 160 a month; at the present time the same house brings 1900 a month. Mean Quality of Goods. In 1886 table board conld be had at th* best hotels for $1 a day; now It la IS a day, and the proprietors all say there 1* much less money In the business than when they received fl Wearing apparel has not in creased in price In proportion to pro visions, but this is because the people are too poor to buy the goods they ware in th* habit of wearing before, and th* mer chants have placed upon th* market the poorest quality of goods made in Burope for the umrket The reason that mar No. 33 chnnu give t.u nm buying more goods la the United State* U th«» fh» a. »t» -« of th*Trnr*™ „ ___ lesson they will readily see that m..»' want is an honest dollar that will buy as much in the markets abroad as the dollar of any other nation. Two Dollars for One. If silver Is ooined in the United Stat** at the rate of i« to 1, while the gold la a gold dollar Is worth 100 eant* in any ooun try In the world, and the silver in a silver dollar is only worth 90 cents, is it not plain that the experience of Colombia, and In fact all South American countries where it hay been tried, will be the experi ence of the United States? The gold will all leave the eountry, and it will require two dollars of silver to bwg one dollar's w. >rth of goedi in the market* of the world, where gold is tits standard. The next question is, will the wages of labor be increased In proportion to the ln cre\i=e of the cost of living? Tho prim of labor will a' ways be govern*! :,y the law of supply and demand, while u'.e cost of living will be governed the of the dollar that the laborer receive* fur hta toil Free Silver Means Poverty. Silver legislation in every country wheat an effort has been made to make a alive* dollar equal to a gold dollar has resulted In poverty to the man who labors, and attempt In the United States can but give the same results. Three years In this country ha* given me some practical knowledge of th* effect of a silver and paper currency, and I send you tho above facts, as they are well known to the people here. LUTHBK F. MCKIKHST, United State* Minister. HOW PARITY IS MAINTAINED. Explanation aa to Ilia KIMa of 141 Hod and Unlimited Coinage. In reply to a question from a life insur ance policy holder a* to the effects of free and unlimited silver coinage, Secretary Carlisle wrote: "In oase free coinage at silver should be established in this country, I presume in surance companies and aU ether Institu tions would continue te make their pay- Vents by checks and drafts on banks a* heretofore In my opinion the whole volume of our currency would sink at once to the silver basis and these checks and drafts would be paid in silver dollar* or their equivalent Instead of gold or It* equivalent as is now the ease. "I presume no one suppose* for n mo ment that It would be the duty of th* government to attempt to keep tha stand ard silvor dollar, coined free for privata individuals and corporation!, equal tn value to a gold dollar, or. In other words, that it would be the duty of the govern ment to attempt under n system of free ooinage to maintain the parity of the two metals. The dollars would be ooined on private account and delivered to private individuals and corporation* a* their ewa terast whatovor in them, and being, there fore, under no obligation to lustain them by guaranteeing their value "Under our existing system all sllesr dollars are coined on account of tha gov ernment and are issued by the govern ment in payment of its expenditures and other obligations, and It would be an aot of bad faith, therefore, to permit* them to depreciate.'' The Shorter Silver Ceteohlsns Q. All the silver oountries slipped down to a silvor basis between 1874 and 18M at the average rate of 6 per cent a year? A. Yes. Q. And some of the bimetallic countries slipped with them, other* are slipping and some are now on the verqs of the descent? A. Yes. Even the strengeat—Frano* and ths United State*— maintain th* parity with difficulty, and tM* difficulty la In creasing. Q. What stands be net on tis and tha breaking of this parity? A. The treasury reserve and its redemption of greenbacks and treasury notes in geid whan gold la called for. Q- Suppose the parity should be broken by the stoppage of tht* redemption what would happen? A. We would begin slid ing down rapidly to a silver basis. Q. How would this downward motion be shown practically? A. By a premium on gold. Spain is two year* down, It* silver money being at a small discount In gold, but its paper and stiver are at paritg. Greece is near the bottom, with stiver and paper at parity. Our paper and silver would remain at parity until gold reached 100 or thereabouts, flepeSßilng upon the market value of silver. Then, If our paper fell lower silver would be at a premium, aa it is in some bimetallic and gold oountriea. Q. Would it affect anybody? A. It would affect sverybedy seriously, but *o insidiously that few would know what was tho matter. Q How? A. Tho price ef all imported commodities bought at gold valuation would rlso a little "beyond tha geld pre mium. So would all domestic commodi ties whose price here is regulated by th* price abroad. The man who could get 10 cents in gold for cotton in Liverpool would not sell it to the New England manufacturer for 10 cent* In silver or paper. With every domeetle product tor which there 1* a foreign gold market th* gold premium would be added to tIM paper-silver price In the domestic market These would Include breadstuff* and pro visions Q. What products would not rlsa in value? A. Those the prices of whloh are fixed by local oondltions, those that can not be exported to get the gold value eggs, poultry, fish, butter, milk, vege table*, hay, fruits, and all factory or mill products where the raw material was not affected by the foreign price, aa it would be with our cotton mills. Q. What would be the effect on wages and salaries? A. They wonld not rise. A man oould not send his labor to London or Paris. If he conld hu would not get any more for It There would bo no rea son for the Inflation of wages. Nothing would rise In value unless the man own ing it could dispose of it to some on* at n higher price. This law would apply agnally to wages, rents and to labor products. Q. Then silver Inflation would not mlsa wages or salaries? A. There 1* no r*a*on to expect It or analogy to support th* be lief, either while we were sliding down to a "silver basis," or after we got there. If w* went further, to a paper haala, and silver went to a prom'um, than wage* would In time keep somewhere near th* "specie" basis, a. they did between 1893 and 1870, but while the specie baai* we* silver and wages wore paid In silver they would not be affected by small changes in it* purchasing power, any more than they are now by any Increase or decree** In the purchasing power of gold. A paper ba«ia raises the price of everything to conform to the spoclo behind it; the silvar-apacie basis would only raise the price ef certain things for which we had a foreign gold markrt. Q. Hut the cost of living would be greatly increa-cd on a silver basts? A. As w* live now, yes. Coffee, tea, sugar, rice and many > ther common things of this kind would 1 'come luxuries beyond the powqe of the worklngman to buy. He wonld have to llv* on what would not Increaas Is value, having only his fr*"\>i>~wages ot salary to buy wltfc.
