A BOLD OPERATION.
a Aausss City Train Robbed by -Four
Thieves.


Thieves.
ATcHIsoN, Aug. 13.-One of the boldest train
rohbaries which ever occurred in the west TOOK
place about mile below Winthrop junction
opposite this city. AS train No on tne Nan
sas City, st. Joseph aud Council blnu rail-
way, south, left Winthrop junction, CONDUCTOR
Brown noticed four men get on the platform
between the baggage car and the first coach.
Not thinking anything, at the usual Ilme ne
left the baggage car and started to go through
the train. The first persons he met were tne
four men standing on the platform. AS ne
stepped on the platform the actlng ieauea pun
ed out two revovers and holding them at him
ordered him back into the baggage car, at the
same time directing him to bold mp his hanus.
AS they entered the car from Tue uarA euo tue
first man they met was Griffith, the baggage
man, and he was ordered TO hoio up MS hands
while pistols were held on him. A young fell
low named Mather, who was on the baggage
car, was then reached and given the same order
Frank Baxter, an express agent, was sitting IN
9 chair in the lighted end OF the car, his bills
on his lap and the express safe open beside
him, busy with his work. He had not noticed
the scene and his first knowledge of the danger
was a revolver thrust in his face and be was
ordered to hold up his hands. The leader of
the gang then stepped to the safe and delibeI-
ately transferred the money (about S51OOl to

With pistols in his face they ordered
him to stop the train and having
no other alternative he pulled the rope
AS the train slowed up the four men backed
out of the cars still covering the others with
pistols and disappeared in the darkness. No
swearing was INDUCED in and the entire work
was done in less than five minutes. The train
was filed with passengers, but none knew of
the robbery until the robbers escaped. The

would take all the prosperity out of the most
fertile country on earth.
lie differed with some of his party friends on
this question. He did not consider it party
question. When he found a Democrat on the
side of honest money he took him by the hand
When be found Republican on the wrong
side he was sorry for him.
Mr., Blaine said he did not favor further con-
traction. We have now a circulation aour.
dant for all needs. We have five kinds of
money: gold (holding up a $40 dollar gold
piece) and despite all that is said about the
beauties of printed money there is nothing like
gold. 1t is something to tie to. The same is
true of silver exhibiting silver dollar Some
say it ia too heavy, but he couldn't say that he
had ever been troubled by its weight. These
are the two monies of the Constitution. They
have been money for G000 years. They are
mentioned in the 9th chapter OF Genesis, and
will survive the Greenback agitation in Maine.
Mr.. Blaine then produced silver certificate,
which saves the trouble of moving silver about
The only fault he had to find with this SILVER
currency was the fault the boy found with his
bread and butter-not enough off
A greenback was next exhibited to the audi
ence. With regard TO this kind if money the
speaker said we propose after Jan. LIST, 1879,
that anybody with ten dollar note Of this de-
scription can call at any sub treasury and get
his ten dollars in gold. When he finds be can
get the gold he won't want it but will hold on
to the greenback. We have now $346, 000,0 900
of greenbacks and the minis are coming
two millions of silver dollars each month, and
will soon be coming three millions per
month. If any more money is needed you
will find it profitable business to start na-
tional banks If not, you WON'T and you will
probably find good many giving up their
charters.
A rational bank note was then exhibited,
thus making three kinds of paper money, all
secured on stable foundation, and with gold
and silver making up our five kinds of cur
rency.
Mr.. Blaine, while dsclaiming that he ap-
peared as a defender of the national bank sys-
tenn, or deemed it absolutely perfect, proceeded
to expose some of the fallacious cries raised by
the Greenbsckers against it, and especially
with regard to the profit on circulation which
had been stated as 80 per cent Admitting for
argument sake that the banks had $500, 900, 900
loaned out at per cent, he proved conclusive
ly that their profit on circulation would be but
little over 2 per cent, and it will be less
when they come to deposit per cent. bonds in
Washington instead of their present per cent,
few only having six per cents. 1t is pro-
posed to do without banks. How, he asked.
can commercial nation do without banks?
Havn't we always had banks? There must BIZ
some means of bringing the borrower and
lender together. He then proceeded to show
the necessity for banks, and said there are
three bills pending in Congress for the re-
peal of the national bank act, and which
provide for the establishment of State banks
or private banks. Shall we do away with
the nationa! banks and call back the bank of
Joe Smith?
