ing materially to its use and here
paper will become promise to
pay in silver and will exclude sill
yer from use. Silver will fall and
paper will sink below it in value
as promise surely falls behind the
thing promised. 1t must be plain
to every man who knows how bus
mess is done and where active cap
ital is found to conduct it, that the
bill, if passed, will cause d
time of frightful disaster unless
business men protect themselves
by putting their business at once
on q gold basis as California does.
Bus,on Wool Market.
BOSTON, Jan. 30th.-The wool
market is unchanged but steady,
with a fair demand from manufac-
turers and prices continue the
same as last reported. Fine t1eeces

Prices range from 43 to 459; Mich

Returning Board Wells ut Bay-A
Contamination Devoutiy 30 be
wished.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30th.-The Inter-
Oceans Washington special says
that J. Madison Wells is expected
here by every train. He has been
heard from twice since he left New
Orleans, and is coming here to Sc
cure protection for himself and the
other members of the Returning
Board. Democratic members of
Congress from Louisiana have re-
ceived letters from New Orleans
stating that the members of the
Returning Board are desperate,
and that Wells has threatened that,
if he has to suffer for his services in
making Hayes President, Hayes
will have to suffer with him. One
Louisiana member of Congress
says that Wells will turn States
evidence unless the President pro-
tects him in some way, and If he
does not, Garfield, Secretary Sher-
man, Stanley Matthews and the
other Republican visitors who
went TO New Orleans during the
count, will be indicted also. This
is received with much incredulity.
1t is announced by telegraph that
a delegation is on its way here in
the interests of the other members
of the Returning Board. Wells's
friends here say that he will con-
oeal himself for fear of kidnapping
or requisition.
