WHY AND HOW THE PEOPLE
WERE SWLNDLED.

(From the GAINESVILLE Daily Courier, Editorial,
June 12 1871
"The bordholders, native and foreign
conspired together to take away the Anne
rican dollar from the American people
destroy the money used by the people
daily in all their transactions, and retain
gold alone, the money of the capitalists
-bondholders. Demonetizing the Amer
ican silver dollar made Unnecessary to pay
the bonded debt Of the Nation, which
was contracted to be paid in "Coin," in
gold. This act made the bonds more
valuable, rendered it more difficult for
the people to pay them, increased the
debt, and rendered it much more diff
cult to resume specie payments" .
"These rich foreign capitalists have no
conscience. They would coin money out
of the hearts of the American people if
they could. They purchase our bonds
for mere song, and the American people
were getting things in readiness to pay
the bonds according to contract, in silver
and gold, when the bondholders leagued
together and said; mo you won't. We
will have the payment in gold, the money
of the bondholders. tits true, the bonds
were contracted to be raid in gold and
silver, but the law has been changed,
and silver is not legal tender any more.
Give us gold" 81
"In 1873 when there was neither silver
nor gold in circulation, the English Capi-
talists and bondholders, and American
capitalists and bondholders discovering
that the American people were preparing
to pay the bonds according to contract,
concluded that the present was the ac-
Cepted time to increase the value of the
bonds by compelling them to be paid in
the money ofthe bondholders and capi-
talists-gold. Without any consultation
with the people, without any knowledge
on the party of the people, without dis!
cussion in Congress, when neither metal
was in ciculation, a bill was SteGlthily in
troduced through the influence ofEnglish
capitalists in the closing days of the ses-
sion, and passed, as report agreed upon
by conference committee"
Congress was not aware that tx clause
demonetizing the old silver dollar was in
the bill. 1t was great fraud perpetrat-
ed upon the common people,"
Coming from a Republican organ the
above is pretty good. 1t is locking the
stable door after the horse is stolen, but
it is conclusivess to the thief A Repub-
lican Congress passed the. fraud in 1873,
and every Republican Congress since
has upheld it and refused to repealit. In
the last Congress, the Democratic House
passed bill to remonetize silver as a
legal tender, but the Republican Senate
rejected it. Thus stands the account

Montreal, July l6.-The procession
formed with detachment of police at
the head, q band following with drums
beating slow march. The 0rangemen,
Young Britons, Montreal Carbineers, the
Montreal Garrison Artillery and the Mon
treal Engineers, passed down the street
and were loudly cheered by the Orange
men and spectators. The marching COM

other Protestant societies were well rep
resented.
With the exception of a slight fracas
on St. James street and the firing of two
pistol shots just after the procession pass

quiet and orderly. At the church was a
very large congregation, and the services
were most impressive.

At Point st. Charles, the contingent
0rangemen on their way home from the
western suburbs, was met at Wellington
bridge by an immense crowd of the oppo-
site party. The latter acted in a menac.
ing manner, but did not attack. Howev-
er as the Youths, who Jagged somewhat
behind the Orangemen, came along, the
roughs made an onslaught on them with
revolvers. The boys ran, but one was
shot down, one ball striking him in the
neck, and another in the back. He was
taken to the hospital. The dastardly
ru6ians had a jubilee over the affair.
The police soon arrived, but there were
no arrests.
The Orangemen have taken their de-
parture for the west, being escorted to the
depot by the military. There was no
trouble.

Since the receipt Of the startling dispatch
es Of Thursday last no kilograms relative
to the situation in the Hills have passed
over the wires, The last intelligence which
fiashed<over the country was that the Indians
were rising on every hand and massacreing
ranchmen and threatening settlements. Ac-
comparing this was ar appeal from a Law
renee county official for arms and troops.
Then the subject was dropped completely
and anxious are compelled to await the slow
transportation of mails for the details of the
affair. We can only conclude from these
circumstances that the danger was much
exaggerated. A panic seemed
10 possess the people and the fact that a few
murders actually occurred and a realizationol
their almost helpless condition inspired them
with greater fear than the circumstances war
ranted. But the affair should serve as a
warning to thepeople Of the Hills and should
induce them to perfect an organization for
self defence and supply themselves with am
munition. They cannot rely upon the gov
nme for protection as the government is
weak in its military department. The bal.
ance OF the summer and fall will bring In
dian raids all along the line and constant
vigilance will prove the only safeguard to an
an exposed frontier.

1t is reported from Washington that the
department ofthe interior will probably dis
continue the further prosecution of the sur
vey for the establishment of the boundary
line between Wyoming and Dakota. The
proposition Is that the government shall
back down before a handful of its own pau.
pers and abandon an important work. The
survey has progressed far enough to estab.
lish the fact that both Deadwood and Custer
City are in ZDakota.

1t says:
"A careful inspection of the laws passed
by the last legislature shows clearly the
intention to remove the U. s. court from
Fargo to this point but it was not done,
because no provision has been made for a
court house at Bismarck, and because the

d" WHO WAS SHELLEY Z"

Mr.. EDIToR:-In reply to the above
question, asked by "X.,' in your issue
of April 9TH, respectfully submit the fol-
lowing:
First the name Shelley" is purely an
Irish one, the Latin SYNONYM of which is
the name OF saint honored by the Catholic
Church.
Second, by some way or other it was
once a custom, altogether local, indeed, J
in Ireland, to celebrate the feast of St.
Ceclly, or Shelley, on the day following
that of ST. Patrick; and hence it is that, to
this time, we call the day after st. Patrick's,
"Sheeley's Day" While it is not now a
general custom in Ireland, yet in many of
the religious orders it still prevails. In
the Roman calendar, however, which is
almost universally observed, the feast of
st. Cecily falls on the 22nd of November.
Third, st. Cecily lived in the early part
OF the third century, twas a native of
Rome, of good family" greatly devoted
to singing the divine praises, (for which
she is regarded as the patroness of church
music and suffered martyrdem about the
year $50 Her place of suffering was in
her own house, which has ever since been
kept sacred as church. See Cardinal n
Wisemau's d" Fabiola.'
Fourth, the supposition, therefore, that
Shee,,y was st. Patrick S wife, Or had any
acquaintance wl1ay>ggeGrc-TSlth him, is wholly
without foundation, since they both lived
in different ages and different countries,
st. Patrick being a Frenchman, born in
the year ara, according to Archbishop
Usher and Tillemont) as it seems. in Ar
moric Gaul, and spent the principal part OF
his life in Apostolic labors in Ireland, to
which place he was sent by Pope Celestine,
who died i'll the year 1872 II.

all this plenty and beauty is marred by the

cotton and tobacco, convinces you that YOU
are in the midst of a great commercial
metropolis. The gay attire of the Brazil

Our first duty was to prepare the ship
for sea, repairing damages, filling up with
fresh water and provisions, and then to

fruits and products Of this magnificent

voyage around Cape Horn.
