Sherman at Columbus.
Senators Sherman and Foraker and
Gen. Woodford were the chief speakers
at the mass meeting at Columbus, o.,last
Saturday.
Sherman was the first speaker at the
afternoon meeting, and after paying a
high compliment to Major McKinley,
said:
"It so happens that at the coming
Presidential election there will he sub
mitted to yonr judgment two questions,
one of which is whether any holder of sil
ver bullion may deposit it at the mints
of the United States and have it coined
for his benefit and without cost to him
into silver doUars, each of the weight of
a 12' A grains of standard silver nine
tenths fine and tender them for any debt
public or private.
"The other question is whether in levy
ing duties or taxes on imported goods we
should only consider the revenue requir
ed, or whether while raising the needed
revenue we should seek also to protect
and encourage domestic industries; the
one is called revenue tariff and the other
a protective tariff. Both the silver anil
tariff are vital questions of domestic poli
cy of equal importance, but I propose on
this occasion to confine my remarks
mainly to what is known as the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 parts
of silver to 1 of gold. This issue is
thrust upon us by the Democratic party,
or rather by the Populistic branch of the
IVmporatic Party.
aim MiCei corns are recogmzta
by all commercial nations of the world as
the best standards ot value, as the meas
ure of every article of desire, or every
thing that is bought or sold. These two
metals not only measure all other things,
but tliey measure rach other. Their rel
ative value constantly changes. Twenty
three years ago 16 ounces of silver were
worth more than I ounce of gold. Now
31 ounces of silver can lie bought for one
ounce of gold. This flunctuation of val
ue cannot be prevented by law.
"It is beyond the reach of legislation.
It is caused hy the changing demands for
and the increasing supply of these metals
from the mines. Both are necessary as
money, silver to supply the daily wants
of life and gold to measure the larger
transactions of business, expecially in ex
changes with foreign nations. How to
maintain the parity of the metals at a
fixed ratio has been, is, and always will
be a difficult problem, not only in the
United States, but in the civilized world.
It was one of the first questions to occu
py the attention of American statesmen
after the adoption of the Constitution
and is now one of the most pressing,
after more than 100 years of national
growth."
Mr. Sherman then discussed the stan
dards of value in this country from 1792
and said: "It is certain that from 1801,
when Mr. Jefferson became President, Jo
the close of Buchanan's administration in
1861, the Democratic party was a gold
party, opposed lo silver and all forms of
paper money. As I have already stated.
Mr. Jefferson, in 1806, suspended the
coinage of silver dollars and it remained
suspended for more than 30 years.
"The act of Congress of 1834 established
gold as praclically the only coin in circu
lation. Gold coins were Benton's 'mint
drops.' All Democrats were then 'gold
bugs.' Senator Hunter, in 1853, during
Pierce's administration, secured the pass
age of a law which reduced the silver in
the half dimes, dimes, quarters and half
dollars, making them subsidiary coins,
abolished their free coinage and limited
their legal tender to $5.
"The silver dollar was not mentioned
and practically was excluded from coin
age or circulation —yet now the Demo
cratic party upon the demand of the
Populist party and when silver has fallen
in market value to nearly one-half its
former value, seeks to demonetize gold
and to establish silver as the sole stan
dard of value.
When the Republican party came into
power in 1861 by the election of Mr. Lin
coln, it had to face a formidable rebellion.
Gold and silver were alike banished from
circulation and irredeemable paper mon
ey of all denominations, from 10 cents to
SI,OOO was substituted in place of coin.
When the war was over the Republican
party sought to restore specie payment as
soon as practicable. In March, 1869, it
pledged the faith of the nptiou to pay
ment in coin or its equivalent for all bonds
of the United States and to redeem the
United States notes at the earliest practi
cable moment in coin.
"In order to carry out this pledge it
became necessary to revise the various
coinage laws of the United States. This
was promptly and very carefully done by
a bill framed in the Treasury Department
while Mr. Boutwell was secretary, It
was thoroughly considered by the experts
of that department and was printed and
submitted to all persons in the United
States who were supposed to be familiar
with the coinage laws. The bill, con
taining 67 sections, accompanied by a
mass of information that fills a volume,
was sent to Congress April 25, 1870, by
Secretary Boutwell and its passage was
strongly recommended by him. This
bill omitted from the coins of the United
States the silver dollar, precisely as was
done in 1853, but provided for the coin
age of the fractional parts of the dollar in
accordance with the act of that year.
"The Irill was pending in Cougress for
three years—was carefully considered in
both Houses and special attention was
called to the omission of the 412 1-2
grains silver dollar which was never in
the bill at any stage and the reasons for
this omission given. It was finally deter
mined at the urgent request of members
from the Pacific coast to insert among
the silver coins a trade dollar containing
420 grains of standard silver, but this dol
lar was made like the minor coins, a
legal Under for $5 only. There was but
one yea and nay vote on the bill and that
was on the proposition to repeal the
charge made by the mint for the coinage
of gold. I voted against its repeal. The
bill passed both Houses and became a law
February 12, 1873, by practically a unan
imous vote of l>oth parties and was speci
al'y supported and voted for by Senators
and memliers from the silver States.
"This has been called the 'crime of
1873,'. and as the bill was under my
charge in the Senate, I was held to be the
chiet criminal. It was in fact a wise
measure of public 'policy, carefully dis
cussed and considered during three years.
When we test the outcry against this at t
\fith the sober facts shown by official re
cords, it appears simply ludicrous, lhe
total number of silver dollars coined from
179 j to 1873 was 8,031,238, while the;
number of trade dollars issued under the
coinage act of 1873 containing 7 1-2 grams
mare silver than the old dollar w.-ts
35.965,624, and the nunilier of standard
silver dollars coined under the Bland- :
Allison »ct of IS7S was 430 ) 79°> <^4f • or S4
times the number issued before 1573.
"It is strange that the very men who ,
supported and urged this coinage law of
1573 and demanded the exclusive coinage ■
of gold are the wry men who now de- I
mand the free coinage of silver and de- ,
nounce ots "goldites" and ' robbers all
4£pse who believe in the coinage of both
gatfTanVl stiver. It lias been said that
the dropping of the silver dollar in the
coinage act of was sttrreptitiousl}
done. This charge is shown to be %Wsc
by the debates in Congress and especially
by the men who now make the charge. I
"Sixteen months after the passage of
that set Senator Jones, of Nevada, in a I
debate in the Senate June n, 1874, said: 1
'I am opposed to any proposition, come j
in whatever form it may, that attempts
to override what God himself has made
for money. I believe the sooner we
come down to a purely gold standard the
better it will be for the country.'
"On April I, 1874, he said: 'Does this
Congress mean now to leave entirely out
of view and discard forever a standard of
value? And what but gold can be that
standard? What other things on earth
possesses the requisite qualities!
Gold is the articulation of commerce. It
is the most potent agent of civilization.
It is gold that has lifted the nations from
barl>arism. It is the common denom
inator of values. It mades possible the
classification ot labor and the interchange
cf commodities. Gold lias intervened m
bargains made between men since the
dawn of civilization, and it has never
failed to faithfully fulfill its part as the
universal agent, and servant of mankind.
* * * The value of gold is not affect
ed by the stamp of the Government.
"Senator Stewart, of Nevada, in the
same debate on June 12, 1874, sa<d:
" ' Sir, the laboring man and the pro
ducer is entitled to have his product and
his labor measured by the same standard
of the world that measures your national
debt. * * * Give him such a stand
ard, give him money as you require from
him. You require it from the producer.
You require from the laboring man gold
to pay the interest on your national debt
which is right, which cannot be avoided
if you mean to save national honor; but
then give him the same money with
which to pay that debt.'
"The question will never be settled un
til you determine the simple question
whether the laboring man is entitled to
have a gold dollar if he earns it, or
whether you are going to cheat liim with
something else. That is the upshot of
the whole thing. Everybody has to say
that the laboring man is entitled to a
good dollar. That was fought over. They
will fight it over again and the same par
ty will win. There have been a great
many battles fought against gold, but
trold has won every time. Gold never
has compromised. * * * Gold has made
the world respect it all the time, file
English people once thought they could
get along without gold for awhile, but
they had to come back to it.
"When the coinage law of 1573 was en
acted all of the States except those 011
the Pacific coast conducted tlieir busi
ness upon the basis of Greenbacks or
United S:ates notes, then at a discount of
about 13 per cent. Neither silver nor
1 gold was used in domestic transactions,
but we collected our customs duties in
gold coin and conducted our foreign com
merce in gold, the money of the world.
It was not until January, 1875, that the
first step was taken to resume specie pay
ments, nor did we resume until January,
1879. . t ~
"During this period silver rapidly ieU
in market value below gold at the ratio
of 16 to 1. l'rior and subsequent to 1873
many changes were made in coinage by
the leading countries of the world, Ger
-111 anv iu 1871 changed its standard from
silver to gorn. ra«we, >-—* ri,m.i
and. Belgium had in 1865 entered into a
treaty called the Latin Union to which
oth'-r nations became parties and by
which the coius of each of these coun
tries were received and paid out by all of
them. This important arrangement was
first modified and finally abandoned, and
gold became the standard of value in
those countries, but in all silver was coin
ed and largely used as a subsidiary coin
precisely as in tk" United States.
Senator Sherman then took np the
Bland-Allison act of 1875, and said: "Un
der its provisions the United States pur
chased over 291,000,000 ounces of silver
at the cost of £308,279,260. It was hoped
that this enormous purchase would ar
rest the decline cf silver, but in spite of it
silver steadily declined in market value,
ami at the present price the loss to the
Government on the purchase under this
act amounts to over $100,000,000.
"When Congress met in December,
1889, there was a strong desire in both
Houses to utilize silver as legal tender
money under conditions that would not
demonetize gold. As the result of long
discussions iu both Houses and after a
conference between them a bill was pass
ed July 14, 1890, by which the Secretary
of the Treasury was directed to purchase
from time to time silver bullion to the
aggregate of 4,500,000 ounces a month at
the market price, and to issue in payment
of such purchases Treasury notes of the
United States, which were made a legal
tender in payment of all debts, public
and private, and were redeemable by tile
Secretary of the Treasury in gold or sil
ver coin at his discretion.
"This measure, it was thought, would
an est the decline in the market value of
silver and enable the Secretary to main
tain the two metals on a parity with each
other at the ratio of 16 to 1. But the
market value of silver continued to de
cline. The Government purchased under
the act of July 14, 1890, 168,000,000
ounces at a cost of §■ 156,000,000. This
proved to be an expensive experiment,
and the act was repealed November 1,
i&tt
" i'ne democratic party, at its recent
convention at Chicago, adopted a resolu
tion in favor of the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 10 parts of silver to 1 of gold.
We know that in the United State*, and
in all countries in the world, 30 ounces or
more of silver can be purchased by one
ounce of gold With the free ooinage of
silver gold will be demonetized. Nothing
can be more certain than that the cheaper
money only will circulate. The United
States has thus far maintained its silver
coins only by its exclusive monopoly of
coinage, and by limiting the amount, but
with free coinage of silver there conld be
uo limitation."
Teaching on further effects of free coin
age, be said: It tho frse coinage of Mlver
is authorized, then the market value of
silyer bullion becomes the standard for
payments on all contracts made in the
past, the present or the future; 412 1-2
grains of standard silver bullion, worth
now 53 cents, can with free coinage be
coined into a dollar upon the demand of
any holder ot such bullion This dollar is
delivered to the owner of the bullion and
is not supported by tho fiat of the Govern
ment. The Government does not under
take to maintain iis relative value with
gold.
"The Government stamps it: 'This is a
dollar.' Its purchasing power is 51! cents
but its debt paying power iafl. It is to
be a legal lendei for sl, of debt, but in
the purchase of any article it is only worth
53 cents, for the seller of the article can
fix his price according to the kind ol
money offered. It is the doctrine of the
Populist and Anarchist, but in direct op
position to the traditional policy ofThomas
Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and the Demo
cratic party."

Major McKinley struck another key
note in a speech of Tuesday afternoon to
a delegation of several hundred colored
citizens of Cleveland. He said.
WE WANT IN TH K UNITED STATES
NEITHER CHEAP MONEY NOR CHEAP LA
BOR. WE WILL HAVE NEITHER ONE
NOR THE OTHF.R.
Continuing a little further he declared:
"This money question presents itself to
me in this homely fashion. If free coin
age of silver m *ins a "i ",-c;nt dollar, t hen
it is not an honest tlol'ar. If free coinage
means a 100-cent dollar equal to a gold
dollar as some of its advocates assert, we
will not, then, have cheap dollars, but
dollars jnst like those we now have, and
which will be as hard to pet, in which
case free coinage w.ll not help the debt
or nor make it easier for him to pay his
debts."
Tiie speech created the greatest enthu
siam among the Major s hearers, vheer
after cheer was given with a will when
the Major concluded.
The Pine Cieek Flcod.
The section of county just north of Alle
gheny City was the scene of an unusually
heavy rain storm last Thursday, which
flooded Pine Creek; caused the death by
drowning of six persons at De Haven and
one at Etna, and w > .ed out the P. A W.

at Sumner Station.

Lamps were lighted in all the village

With mighty force it r:-hed down the
hill, uprooting trees, dislodging boul
ders, and bewi:.g a channel through which
to d-cape. The rain had also swollen Gore
head creek above Lh.- confluence, and the
waters of the two fl oded streams poured
into the narrow v >lley at the upper end of
De Haven. Though the people were
watching it and expecting something un
usual, some did not »eek safety on the high
ground soon enough.

Auld, lived in a cottage in the track of the
storm. His little sons saw the danger

Sarah Poppleton.who is only 13 years

Her mother floated down alter Robinson

She came up again and the little girl
caught her. She tried to pull her onto

her body was found in a lield at Etna,
seven miles away. From the marks on it
she was probably dead or unconscious

The little girl was carried down for a

A Legal Question.
A New Brighton correspondent to the
Pittsburg Time* saye: ilrastus llunter,
a fanner liviug near SSelienople. was in
town on Friday seeking legal advice as
to whether or not. a slide in a hillside
could deprive him ol bis 1 roperty.
Be has a 125 acre farm, a portion ot it
lying on a hillside. Alongside and fur
ther down the hill is the farm of a man
named Bolinger. A road separates the
two farms and on Hunter's side, about 15
feet »'rom the line, Hunter had a handsoino
residence. The heavy rains of tho sum
mer have evidently softened the whole hill
side and daring the last two weeks, resi
dence, farm and road have been u liding
down the hill At the point where the
residence is located tho ro#d has chaftged
position by 40 feet, and the bouse of Hun
ter according to the old'BOrvey is on Bol
ingers land.
Hunter and Bolinger have been quarrel
ing for some time and matters were
brought tr a climax on Thn.-iday morning
when Bolinger called at the house aud
oidored Huuter out The Utter employ
ed a surveyor, but the house had slid over
the line beyond question, and as the deeds
specify the road us a boundry to the farms,
and the roi-d has been changed by super
human agency, Hunter thinks he shoufc!
still retain the property up to that point
Bolinger claims that by that reasoning he
would lose an acre and a half of land
The legal nut is a little too hard for
even the lawyers to crack, and a com
promise is sjggested by Hunter's buyiDg
the acre and a half ot land, which Bol
inger would lose were tho lino shifted to
correspond with the road. Bunter, how
ever cannot see why he should buy his
| own house and thinks thore is no equity
| ; n such a settlement.

Tuberculosis.
A herd of thirteen of the tine't Holstein
cattle owner by Win Stoner, ot Westmore
land county, were slaughtered by order of
the State Veterirarian a lew days ago. ami
the discoveries made by the post mortem
were sufficient to completely sicken the
owner of the cattle, who was present. The
lungs were almost completely ant!
what remained of the<n were diseased to
such an extent that the sight was horrible
to behold. Xot only the lungs, but all
parts of the vital p»rts of the animals were
afiected. The udders particularly were
badly diseased, and it is from this source
that tuberculosis is conveyed to hurnaus.
The star cow of the herd was the worst af
fected. In the udder was an ulcer twice
the size of a goose egg. Mi. Stoner stated
th-it this cow hart been giving four to live
gallons of the finest looking milk every
day. i»nd he had seriou3 doubts that it was
affected. He was more than satisfied after
what he saw.
Xot only in tho older animals, but in the
younger ones as well, was tho disease very
apparent. The one calf that was killed
was in an awtul condition, whilo the
heifers seemed to be worse than any of the
others, the disease having no doubt been
born in them.
Although Mr. Stoner has not been using
the milk from the cows since the inspection
was made several weeks ago, yet there is
no doubt but that the animals were in a
very serious condition before the inspec
tion occurred, and it is possible that ser
ious results may follow. The cattle not
condemned at the last inspection are still
on the farm of Mr. Stoner, secluded from
all other cattle. They will be inspected
again about the middle of September, when
there is little doubt they too will be found
affected, by reason of their long associa
tion with the cattle that were diseased.
Mr. Stoner was perfectly satisfied with
the test, and will make every effort to
have all the farmers in his locality have
inspections made of their stock. He has
soveral brothers who are daiiymen in
Westmoreland county, and he took home
with him a number of applications for tests,
confident that, after he told of the condi
tion of his own cattle, they would be glad
to avail themselves cf the opportunity to
have theirs tested.
William Waugh the Xew Brighton man
who suspected his cattle were affected, has
made application to the State Veterinarian
lor tests, and I)r. Laeock expects to he or
dered to that place in a few days. He
stated that some four other New Brighton
dairymen had asked for inspection, but
at this time he is unable to disclose their
names.
