NEW STORY DEMONETIZATION
OF SILVER.
Told by E. Benjamin Andrews—lt Sab
stuntiates All Claims That Ilave Ever
Been Mude—Criminals May Yet 11
Brought to the Bar of Public Justice
When the civil war ended, the federal
debt was $2,800,000,000; the debts ot
the various states, townships and mu
nicipalities about $1,400,000,000; of rail
ways and canals about $2,500,000,000
r.nd of other corporations about $300,-
000,000; together about $7,000,000,000
Between a fourth and a third of this
sum was owing to investors In Europe,
who had lent or advanced it, in paper
dollars, which cost them on the aver
age about half a dollar each in gold or
silver coins. An equal proportion had
been advanced by American capitalists
on similar terms. The balance was ad
vanced before the war, or else before
the paper currency depreciated, and
was therefore lent in coins, or their
equivalent. Leaving this portion of the
debt out of view, it is probably near the
mark to say that at the close of the
civil war there were owing nearly
$5,000,000,000, which cost the lenders
(Europeans and Americans), about half
that sum in coins. The whole of this
debt was payable, under the act of
February 25, 18G2, in greenbacks; the
Interest on a portion of it was payable
in coins of gold or silver. The first
move of the lenders after the war
closed was to open a newspaper war
upon the paper money which they had
themselves lent to the government
The greenbacks, it was contended, were
' Jishonest" dollars; indeed, not really
/)llars at all, only worthless, disrep
utable rags, a disgrace to civilization,
disseminators of fraud and disease, etc.
This question was fought in the presi
dential campaign of 1868, in which, by
referring to the newspapers of the day,
it will be seen that the undersigned
bore no inactive part. As the election
day approached every sign indicated
the triumph of Mr. Seymour, the cham
pion of greenbacks, and the defeat of
General Grant, the champion of coins.
All of a sudden, and without a note of
warning, the then trusted organ of the
Democratic party, to-wit, the New York
World, edited by Manton Marble, but
owned, as it was commonly believed,
by August Belmont, hauled down its
flag, deserted the ticket on the eve of
the election, and left nearly two mil
lion voters to the effects of treachery,
panic and disorder. The first fruit of
this nefarious transaction was the
passage of a so-called "Credit Strength
ening Act." dated March IS, 1869, by
which the United States government
pledged itself to pay the principal, as
well as the interest, of- its paper debt,
in gold or silver coins. In other words,
without any consideration whatever, it
undertook to pay for every paper dol
lar which it had borrowed, a gold or
silver dollar, of the long established
weight and fineness, and by this and
Its subsequent action, it compelled all
Indebted persons and corporations to
do the like. Having by these means se
cured the payment of a whole metal
dollar for each half of a metal dollar
advanced to the government, thus
clearing cent-per-cent profit at a sin
gle bound, the conspirators next at
tempted to double the value or pur
chasing power of such metal dollars,
by means of destroying one-half ot
them, to-wit, the silver ones. The fol
lowing is a brief account of their op
erations: At that time and for several
years previously a government com
mission had been occupied In the work
of revising and codifying the statutes
of the United States, 'lhe revision
commissioners being lawyers and not
financiers, merchants not metallur
gists, were not familiar with the tech
nical branches of administration;
therefore they made it a practice to
visit the executive departments and
consult with the principal officers con
cerning the practical interpretation
and administration of the laws. When
they reached the mint bureau its prin
cipal officer had already in his hands a
proposed codification of the coinage
laws, the model for which had been
forwarded to him by certain friends oi
agents of the Bank of England in Lon
don. This new American mint code
apparently embodied all the existing
laws on the subject; nay, it even pur
ported to follow their very language,
and to blend them all into an harmo
nious whole; but such appearance was
deceptive. This deception is not
charged upon the director of the mint
(since dead), but upon the men who
prepared and placed the codification in
hie hands, some of whom are still liv
ing and who will doubtless take pleas
ure in reading this communication.
The law (not the proposed codification)
made it the duty of the director of the
mint to receive deposits of either gold
or silver; to coin such metal into dol
lars —the silver ones to contain exactly
sixteen times as much metal as the
gold ones—and to return the same to
the depositor; and it declared all such
dollars to be money of the United
States and legal tenders for all purposes
and to any amount. The public debt
was made payable under the act ol
March 18, 1869, in such dollars, whethei
of silver or gold. The proposed codi
fication (not the law) dropped the sil
ver dollar. It did not demonetize it
but by omitting to include It in the
various coins which the mint directoi
was authorized to strike, it was ren
dered unlawful and impracticable for
him to strike any more of them. As
to the means by which this codification
was palmed upon the director of the
mint, and afterwards—that is to say,
before the codification commissioners
dealt with it—how it was palmed upon
congress, the subject" has been fre
quently dealt with already. The dupes
•who afterwards attempted to defend it,
utterly failed and are dead; the men
who worked the trick are some of them
still living and may yet be named and
Impeached.

BATTLE HYMN OF THE EMPIRE.
("The conqueror rides glorious in
his iron car, round which submissive
hosts flow like a mighty sea."—Asiatic
Epic.)
Mine eyes have seen the "glory of the
empire that has come;
I've heard its mad hosannas in the
trusts' marauding hum;
I've seen its golden standard flaunt
above its sullen drum.
Its might is marching on.
Chorus:
Power and glory to the empire!
(Hearken to it's hungry roar!)
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Power and glory evermore!
I've seen it in the watch fires of the
sable soldiers' camps;
I've heard it from high altars 'neath a
thousand magic lamps;
I've seen its subtle suction in the
graves of tropic swamps.
Its might is mp-rching on.
I've beheld its red libations and Its
serried ranks of steel;
i've heard its voice of menace whilst
submissive millions kneel;
it has seized their wealth as ransom,
chained them captive to its
wheel.
Its might is marching on.
(t has sounded forth a trumpet call
that meaneth no retreat;
It is sifting out Its victims 'fore its
dread injunction seat.
Oh, be swift, my soul, to cheer it on;
be Jubilant my feet!
Its might is marching on.
- ve felt It In the thousand hints that
words cannot explain;
t ve scanned it in the billowing smoke
of far Manila's plain;
I've felt it in that demon deed, the mys
tery of the Maine.
Its might is marching on.
(n the stable of Judea Christ was born
beyond the sea.
But imperial law and judgment nailed
Him high upon a tree.
Thus "woe unto the vanquished" Is
taught to you and me.
Its might Is marching on.
Oh, mine eyes have seen the terror of
the empire of the "lord";
He is auctioning off the vintage where
the treasury bonds are stored;
(n his grasp are navies and armies and
a scientific sword.
His might is marching on.

POINTS FROM THE PRESS.
With a great deal of patience and
perseverence a hog has been taught to
play seven-up, and even to turn the
knave from the bottom of the deck.
So why despair of teaching the people
how to vote?— Southern Mercury.
There's a new tale of Kansas pros
perity to unfurl this week, gents. The
crime of April 29 consisted in tho trust
closing a linseed oil mill at Topeka,
Kan., and tossing a number of work
ing mules out on their uppers. This
crime pressing so closely upon tho heels
of the pleasing function of closing the
Topeka starch mill must certainly give
the "business men" of Topeka a bad
quarter of an hour. Cheer up, work
ers and business men of Topeka!
Aguinaldo is about to surrender, and
it is reported that Mexico is going to
the gold basis. And what more could
you ask for than that? It's what you
vote for. —Appeal to Reason.
American imperialists have chosen
for themselves a remarkably appro
priate name. They want to be called
"loyalists." By all means let them he
gratified. The same designation was
assumed during the American revolu
tion by the tories. —The Public.
The administration thinks Atkinson
is a traitor, but it Is not going to de
anything about it. The administration
has troops in the field proceeding
against the Western Federation mi
ners. It Is a greater crime in the eyes
of McKinley to be a union man than
a traitor. —Appeal to Reason.
Injustice of Fulling Prices.
Falling prices work outrageous in
justice. Appalling is the moral wrong
which the fall of prices since 1873 has
wrought. Think of all those time con
tracts, which form so prominent a
feature of modern business. Probably
70 per cent of the world's commercial
transactions are based on some sort of
deferred payment or credit. It Is esti
mated that a trillion and a half dollars'
worth of these deferred payments are
mtstandlng at this time. Appreciat
ing money is occasioning injustice in
:ase of every one of these obligations.
The business friction proceeding from
this source I mention presently; here
i hold up to view the fraud of the sys
tem, how increase in the value of mon
ey robs debtors. It forces every one of
hem to pay more than he covenanted
to pay—not more .dollars, but more
value, the given number of dollars
embodying greater value at date of
payment than at date of oontract. In
the3 0 days debtors must struggle hard
to bo able to pay what they honostly
owe; a system which makes them pay
from 10 to 50 per cent blood monSy is
devilish lndfled.—Andrews.
Theology may; change, but the gos
pel does not.
CETTING TO THE GAME.
Now the relatives are dying
At a most appalling rate,
And the sudden spells of sickness
1 Much anxiety create.
And the strangest thing about these
Tales of woo, these faces wan,
Is that they are much more frequent
When the baseball season's on.
There are trembling on the eyelids
Of theofllce boy, once bright,
And he sadly makes I'.uuouuceraoat
That his uucle died last night.
Thou the tears so plainly noticed
Down his fuce begin to stray,
And be sobs his thanks on being
Told he needn't work to-day.
As the hour of noon approaches
It is noticed that the clerk
Is so sick that he's unable
To continue at his work.
He's complainiug of a fever
And n pain thut racks liis head,
So he asks and gets permission
To go home and seek his bed.
Just at 2 p. m. the merchant,
Who bus long denounced the game,
Feels a twinge of rheumatism,
And be suddenly gets lame.
Every minute brings more torture.
As his grimaces attest,
Till at last for home he's starting,
With the hope of getting rest.
But recovery i9sudden,
AQJ, from favorite grand-stand
That siok merchant sees the ball game.
And he sees the sick clerk there.
And among the yelling rooters
On the bleachers to the right,
Is the oflflee boy who toid them
That his uncle died last night.
Yes, the relatives are dying
At a most appalling rate,
And the sudden spells of sickness
Much auxlety create.
But no undertaker's profit.
With tho doctors It's tho same.
For these tales are fabrications,
Told to get to see the game.

For those who have ugly views' from
their back windows or corridors lead
ing to back stairs, etc., it is quite a
serious matter as to how best to hide
them. Draperies are expensive when
the material is good, and inexpensive
material gets easily tossed. Bead
blinds, which may be made with very
little trouble at home, are clean and
tidy, besides being pretty, and have the
further advantage of admitting the
light* while preventing people from
looking into the room. Measure tho
width of the window or doorway you
wish to hide and get a carpenter to
make a narrow lath to fit it, with small
grooves all the way along at equal dis
tances and rather close together. The
only thing you will then require is a
ball or two of macreme cord and plenty
of large glass beads in pretty colors,
to mix too many colors is a mistake.
Thread the string with a bead and knot
to prevent its slipping; do this at inter
vals all the way down the string until
it is the length required. It is advisa
ble to tie each string securely on the
groove in the wooden lath as you go
along, as they are apt to tangle if
loose. Try to have the strings as close
together as possible; the effect is quite
spoiled if they are straggly or far apart.
By the exercise of a little patience and
Ingenuity a pretty pattern of flowers or
birds may be introduced. Beads suita
ble for this purpose may be purchased
at a very low price.

Mr. Eben E. Rexford, probably the best known
writer on the culture and care of flowers, gives the
following recipe for an insecticide that he has found
to be more satisfactory than hellebore or Paris-green:
Shave a quarter of a pound of Ivory Soap in water sufficient to cover it
and dissolve upon the stove, then add five gallons of warm water. Spray this
solution upon the plants with a florist's syringe, or if they are small dip them
bodily into it. In either case be sure to reach every part. Let them stand half
an hour and then rinse with clear water. Every aphis that the solution comes
in contact with will be promptly killed.
The Vlcliißltudcß of an Emperor.
The vicissitudes which Louis Na
poleon experienced almost from the
cradle to the grave were probably all
but unexampled. He was a fugitive
before he could speak articulately. In
the interval between his 20th and his
40th year he was a prisoner in Stras
burg, Lorient, Ham and the Concier
gerie. He was an outlaw for more than
half his life. There were incidents, at
Strasburg, and later at Boulogne,
which brought upon him the mock and
jeer of Europe. He carried a baton as
a special constable in Park Lane on
Chartists' Day. Then, by a sudden
turn of fortune, he became President
of the French Republic. The Coup
d'Etat made him Emperor of the
French; and thenceforth for fifteen
years he was, perhaps, the most-con
sidered man of Europe. It was said of
him that on being asked whether he
should not find it difficult to rule the
French nation he replied, "Oh, no!
nothing is more easy. 11 leur faut une
guerre tousles quartre ans." (They
just need a war every four years.) This
policy held good in a modified degree.
The Crimean war was for him a suc
cess, although not precisely a triumph;
the Italian campaign, in spite of its
hard-fought victories, ended abruptly
in approximation to a failure. The
Mexican expedition was an utter fiasco.
Yet Napoleon might have gone on wit
his program of a war every four years
but for the circumstances that there
happened to be in Europe in the mid
dle 'Sixties an infinitely stronger,
more masterful and more ruse man
than the dreamy and decaying Na
poleon. When he and Bismarck
walked along the Biarritz beach in Oc
tober, 18G5, Bismarck expounding his
political speculations as they strolled
—"ls he mad?" the Emperor whisper
ed to Prosper Merimee, on whose arm
he leaned. Napoleon had very soon to
recognize that madness had no part
in the character of Otto von Bis
marck. The Prussian Premier was hi 3
superior in energy, in determination,
and in finesse; and ho foiled the
French Emperor at every turn. —Archi-

Feeding Bottles.
Most people are of opinion that feed
ing bottles for babies must be an in
vention of modern times. According
to Prof. J. N. Mosby. noted English an
tiquary, however, this is not the ease.
This gentleman, who was lecturing re
! cently before an antiquarian society,
stated that it was the custom among
the Greeks for the nurses to carry a
sponge full of honey in a small pot to
stop the children from crying. The
I professor went on to say that there are
two Greek vases in the British Mu
seum, dating from 700 B. C., which
closely resemble the feeding bottles
used subsequently by the Romans. In
the old Roman cemetery of St. Sepul
chre, Canterbury, England, a feeding
bottle of bright red polished ware was
dug up in 1861, and Prof. Mosby came
to the conclusion that this bottle must
have been buried with the little Roman
child to whose wants it had ministered
during lifetime.
