The upward tendency in values for foreign

mild and Revel remain open, our winter sup

ing regard to the fact that Russia is turning all
her available produce into gold to enable her to
carry on the war, apart from the political
considerations, the present range of values for
wheat appears to be a safe one. AS far as can
be seen, any material change either way would
be the result of political influences.
But even it peace is proclaimed and the
Black Sea ports set free, we could not calculate
upon receiving supplies much before April So
taking all things together, it is doubtful
whether pacific turn in Eastern affairs would
materially affect prices. 1t must, however, be
confessed that this opinion scarcely obtains
with milers. Prices are slightly in buy
ers' favor, although not quotably
lower, and The few sales which have
taken place have been to supply immediate re-

ILLINOIS SPEAKS

DetioNncing the Decentralization Fraud.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 15.-Pursnant to call
the State Silver Mass Convention assembled in
the senate chamber to-day. Judge Lawrence,
OF Chicago was chosen president. The usual
committees were appointed, Hon. ". C. Cloudy,
Chicago, heading the committee on resolutions.
The committee reported a platform which, after
debate by Hon. j. G.. Robinson, Mr.. Goudv.
John Forsyth, Col. Geo. Harlow and several
Others, was adopted, and the convention adj.
journed.
The platform recites that the act of Congress
OF l792 made provision for coinage of silver
dollar of the value of the Spanish milled dol
lar of 37l1s grains of pure silver by our none
tary unit, aud that although this dollar, which
was originally 416 grains, was reduced to 12l5
grains, yet the intrinsic value and the amount
of silver remained unchanged for over eighty
years, and the silver dollar remained the standard
monetary unit; that silver and gold have con-
stitnled the basis of the monetary system of
ell nations since the earliest history; that silver
has been chiefly and frequently the only metal
lie legal tender in general use here; that the
whole country's business and credit have been
during this period measured by this standard
that all bonds are expressly declared payable
in this standard of 412l5 grains
therefore the resolutions declare that the
demopetization of silver coinage was SO grave
and radical o change in the monetary system
SO vitality effecting the nations interests that ii
ought not to have BEEN yentured upon under
the most favorable. circumstances, except with
full, thorough, exhaustive discussion. The
secret scheme by which it was pre-,
cipitated upon the country without a
word of discussion either in or out
of Congress, and the persistency with which
the scheme is still prosecuted amidst unparal-
leled business prostration and disaster, with
forced resumption in immediate prospect dis
close reckless disregard for the public wei
fare on the part Of the movers which merits the
severcst censure. That one obvious
purpose of decentralization was to in.
crease the value of government
bonds and correspondingly increase the public
burdens by making them payable in gold, al
though plainly and legally payable in coin
The people have for this purpose been clan
destinely robbed Of the legal tender quality Of
silver reconciliation, and that speaking in be
half of the State of Illinois, we say emphaticall,
that the honest convictions of the people q
this section Of the country will never be sur
rendered at the dictation Of greedy capitalist.

Resolred, That the President and Secretar,
be requested to forward a copy of these resolu
tions to the President Of tho United State.

GEORGE CRUIKsHANK, the cele brated
Friday was nearly eighty-six years of age.
During his early life he supplied caricatures
to nearly all the publishers of pictorial works
in England, including Mr.. Home, whose po-
litical squibs he illustrated in manner which
attracted particular notice. He produced a
series Of plates to Illustrate Life in London,
which attained great popularity and was
dramatized by Montcrieff and others. 1t
was followed by Life in Paris, and another
serial entitled the Humorist. Among the
more celebrated of his ludcrous productions
are Mornings at Bow Street. Punch and
Judy, Scraps and Sketches, My Sketch-Book.
and the plates in Sketches by Boz, in Oliver
Twist, in Jack Sheppard, in The Tower of
London, in Windsor Castle; illustrations to
the British Novelists, the Waverly Novels,
Sir w. Scott's Letters on Demonology, &c.
In 1912 appeared the first number of Cruik-
shank's Omnibus. He was always happy in
his pictures of slack Tars." From the first
he had shown strong tendency to adminis-
ter reproof in his treatment of intoxcation
and It's accompanying vices. An instance of
this tendency is found especially in his series
of eight prints entitled The Bottle; this
series had eminent success and was drama
| tized at eight theatres in London at one time.
OF late years Mr.. Cruikshank has turned his
attention to oil painting, branch of art in
| which he has so far educated himself as to
make his pictures sought after by connois-
seurs. He served in the ranks as a volun-
teer rifeman before he was twenty years ol
age, and for nearly eight years as lieutenant
colonel of the Havelocks or forty-eighth Mid
+ dlesev rifle volunteers.
