Increased Circulation Of Silver Coin
FACTS SHOWN BY THE TREASURY ACCOUNTS

Increased Circulation Of silver Coin.
FACTS SHOWN BY THE TREASURY ACCOUNTS.
The accounts of the Treasury show that the
payment of the gold and silver certificates does
not decrease the currency, as the silver and
gold which represent these certificates is in the
Treasury to be paid out if needed. With money
at two per cent per annum, as it now is, this
would seem hardly necessary. The amount of
standard silver dollars in circulation on June
Both was S3S, 100000. The amount outstand-
ing to-day, in round numbers, is $4S, 500 600
an increase of $1O,OOOOOO. The maximum
amount of fractional silver in the Treasury
June LIST was in round numbers $31 100000
To-day, SOC, 900, 600 only is in the Treasury
Deduct from this the 1921 900 deposited by
the New York banks, and there is shown an in
crease of say $1,000 ,OOO a larger increase than
has taken place in any year from 1876 the date
of redemption, until the present day. On June
1st, 1879, the fractional coin in the Treasury
lily Increased, year by year, until it reached the
figures above given, namely, $31 zoo. 900.

PRIVATE O'CONNOR'S COMPLAIN

PRIVATE O'CONNOR'S COMPLAINT
He Claims to Have Been Treated I'm
Justly at Fort Myer-TOO Much Work
and not Enough TO Eat.
First-class Private John j. O'Connor of the
signal corps, has placed in the hands of ]. Am
bier Smith, as his attorney, complaint of ILL
treatment, in order that the matter may be
brought to the attention of the proper authori-
ties. Private O'Connor stated to a STAR re-
porter that he enlisted and went-through the
school at Fort Myer two years ago, and was
then sent as meteorological observer and tele-
graph operator at Fort Assiniboine, Mon,
for sixteen months, making in the last six
months of his service there record
of So per cent Of predictions verified, the high
est record, he claimed, made in the service dur
ing that time. OConnor says his health broke
down from OverwOrk, and, in June last, he was
called into Fort Myer for "medical treatment"
Since the arrival at the fort he says, he has had
to do degrading and laborious work from $50 a.
m. until $50 p. m. every day, contrary to army
regulations. He had asked for a court of COM
missioned officers to investigate his grievance,
and it had been denied. He has no

or convict, being denied the use of a table to
write upon, or chair to sit upon. He is obliged,
he said, to work out under rain, and has no fire
artificial heat in his room to prevent his con-
tracing rheumatism. The food served in the
mess, he says, is so limited in quantity and
Portable meals. OConner somtime ago was
court-martaled and fined one months pay for
being absent without leave. After that he was
ordered to service with what is known
as the permanent company, at the
fort composed OF men enlisted as privates with
out examination, who do the manual work
about the fort. For the last seven weeks, OCOn-
nor told THE STAR reporter he has had to work
ten hours day in the vegetable gardens and
cleaning up, saving wood, or engaged in some
other laborious occ upatiOn, although he enlisted
as meteorological observer: He said he had
applied for his discharge, and been refused. He
said while the rations served might be sufficient
for man ut a military post who had nothing to
do, it was not sufficient for man who
had to work laborer He eked out

THANKSGIVING DAY.


The President to-day issued the following
proclamation:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
The American People have always abundant
cause to be thankful to Almighty God, whose
watchful care and guiding hand have been
manifested in every stage of their national
life-guardng and protecting them in time of
peril, and safely leading them in the hour OF
darkness and OF danger.
1t is fitting and proper that a nation thus
favored, should on one day in every year, for
that purpose especially appointed, publicly
acknowledge the goodness of God, and return
thanks to Him for all His gracious gifts.
Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, President of
the United states OF America, do hereby des-
ignate and set apart Thursday, the Twenty
Sixth day of November instant, day of
public Thanksgiving and prayer. and do invoke
the observance of the same by all the people OF
the land.
On that day let all secular business be sus-
pended. And let the people assemble in their
usual places of worship, and with prayer and
to the Giver of every good and perfect gift for
all that He has done for us in the year that has
passed, for our preservation as q united nation
and for our deliverance from the shock and
danger of political convulsion; for the blessings
OF peace and for our safety and quiet while
wars and rumOrs of wars have agitated and
security against the scourge of pestilence, which
in other lands has claimed its dead by thou
sands and filled the streets with mourners; for
plenteous crops which reward the labor of the
husbandman and increase our nations wealth.;
and for the contentment throughout our bor-
ders which follows in the train of prosperity
and abundance.
And let there also be on the day thus set
apart, a reunion of families, sanctified and
chastened by tender memories and assOcia-
lions; and let the social intercourse of friends,
with pleasant "Reminiscences renew the ties of
affection and strengthen the bonds of kindly
feeling.
And let us by no means forget, while we give
thanks and enjoy the comforts which have
crowned our lives, that truly grateful hearts are
inclined to deeds of charity; and that kind
and thoughtful remembrance of the poor will
double the pleasures of our condition, and rem
der our praise and thanksgiving more accepta-
BILE in the sight of the Lord.

day of November, one thousand eight
