by these figures. If the
eight hundred millions are de-
creased to six hundred millions the
values of all this real wealth
in proportion; and, by an
easily understood commercial law,
in almost a geometriaal ratio. A
house which before could be had
for $4,000 can then be had for
5000. AS the greater part of The
measures of value in the United
States are now represented by gov
ernment bonds, from which an as
certained and fixed income is de-
rived, the capitalists, under such q
sy stem of finance, would be able to
sell out about every debtor in the
United States and buy In his effects
at about half their value, or less.
Mr.. Bland denominates the con-
traction of greenbacks and the de-
monetization of silver a con-
spiracy on the part of the rich
creditor classes TO make their
debtors pay them two dollars for
one of debt incurred. If, in addi-
ton, they can set up gold as the
standard, the Injustice is increased.
Finally Mr.. Bland discusses the
de emonetization of silver from a
historical stand poiut. He re-
CARDS it as having been treacber-
ously brought about at the instance
of Eastern capitalists. There, also,
we agree with Mr.. Bland.
On the other hand, Mr.. Poor dis
cusses certain statistical statements
of Mr.. Bland with regard to the
comparative value of gold and sill
yer. We should judge that Mr.
BlanL's article had been submitted
to Mr.. Poor in proof slips, as they
both appear simultaneously. He
scouts the idea of silver having
been demonetized as the result ol
conspiracy of the Eeastern capi-
talists, and holds that the act ol
Congress, introduced in February,
1872. was well advertised before Its
passage at a subsequent session.
His paper is the fairest and strong
est argument we have seen from
the standpoint of the capitalists;
but, Notwithstanding his special
pleading, We cannot help concur
ring in the view taken by the
Messrs. Phillips and Bland. Nc
observer of the course Of legisla'
tion while the Republican party
were in the ascendancy in the Con-
gress of the United States, espec-
tally in the case of the Infamous
National Bank act, can doubt that
the common people were sold out
with generalization aud afore'
thought, at every stage of our cur
rency eDactments.

RED CLOUD AGENCY, Dakota,
July 18th. .-Commissioner Hoyt
and the Stanley Commission held u
council yesterday with Red Cloud
and his Indians. Hoyt spoke
pleasantly to them and Red Cloud
responded. He said they wanted
to go to White Clay creek over 200
miles from Mission River. They
would not locate nearer. The Great
Father had promised the selection
in writing. He wanted five hun
dred cows and other cattle, wagons,
farm houses and schools. He was
content with the supplies. He
wanted Catholic priest. The
Commissioners saw that it was
useless to attempt to get the In
dams to locate on the Missouri
River. General Stanley told Red
Cloud that the cost of transporta.
ton of supplies that long distance
would come out of the supplies.
The Commissioner generally
agreed that Red Cloud was right
and that the Indians might go
west. Spotted Tail is equally de-
termined to go 35 miles west of the
Missouri River. Hoyt is much
disappointed.

i'll came to me on the same er-
rand. He said the night was fixed
and the place of rendezvous set.
Curlee was there and asked who
were going. He named Sprague,
Hickerson, Brown, McCart and
himself. He said the signal at the
rendezvouz would be low whistle,
&c. Coming to the facts of the
killing he said: We found
Sprague, Churchill, McCart, Lord
and Hunt there. Sprague said
there were more to come and we
waited an hour for them. Sprague
then said, "Let us CO." and those
who had horses mounted the others
going on foot. Sprague, Churchill
and myself went behind the barn
and Sprague set it on fire with a
turpentine ball. The people in
the house were aroused by
the fire, came out soon to
the barn when they commenced
turning the horses loose. Some one
shot and Ferguson said to More,
"Run or you will be killed." He
stai ted to run and some one shot
him in the leg. Sprague and
Curles followed him and Churchill
also ran to where More had fallen.
Sprague and Curlee were shooting
at him as he was lying down, sup.
porting himself on one hand. He
fell on his back and said, "For
Gods sake men don't shoot; you
have killed me already" or words
to that effect. The crowd then
started off, when Sprague sang out
that he could not walk and for us
to come back or he would shoot.
Some of them helped him away
