How some Halt Dollars Changed to
TwentIes. and Back Again. o.

Il happened during 9he Grand Army
encampment here in September that three
men from Denver had to be lodged in the
same room at the Inter Ocean hotel, and
on the last day a matter occurred which
has been kept all this time away from the
gasping public until that individual who
was most concerned could be induced to
allow its publication peacably, or else
until he had got sick abed or left the
country. His name was Jim and he was
very absent minded at times. One of his
room mates and his bed fellow, whose
name was Jack, said that he talked queer
things in his sleep. and acted like he
thought he was at home. On two differ
ent occasions he was getting into bed
without saying his prayers until chided by
Jack for not doing so, and then he would
begin praying as he got into bed and
finish the petition lying down, but instead
Of addressing his humble petition to
the God OF battles he would fire it
off at the Republican commander-in-
chief down below. where the worm dieth
not and the fire department fails to get
the hames under control. lie would talk
to the devil in a light, aippant Manner,
and call HIM by his first name as familiar
ly as if he hal enjoyed his personal ac-
quaintance for years, and was pointed in

his advice to his bediellow to go down to
his satanic majesty ranch and make it
his future residence. Jeems never neg
lected his mornings devotions, however.
ami while talking with the high priest
over the altar in the Inter Ocean chapel
on the morning in question, he ran his
hand down into his pocket for coin with
which TO pay for his W spiritual eonso-
lation, and that of three penitents whom
he had mvitedto go to the altar with him.
lie pulled out his money, gazed at it a
m IN blank astonlshment, rubbed
his eyes, looked again, and then said to
the priest
Father, will you tell me what those

Twenty dollar gold pieces my son.
"Jim's eyes bulged out until they
looked like horns, and, after paying for
the consolation he rushed up stairs again
and yelled out:

were not falling still further from the
high ideals Of operative life which once
brilliantly distinguished America from
Europe. He argued that although
wages were GO per cent. greater in
America than in England, the English
artisan would be no richer there,
owing to the greater cost of liy-
ing, but that his social status
would be higher. He endcavored to
show that the tariff in America had no
influence on wages. lie said working
men were not likely to initiate free trade.
and that the movement was more likely
to be effected through internal compc-
tition. A discussion over the question
ensued. in the course Of which Mr..
Lowell observed that his position pre-
vented his expressing an opinion
on the subject, but he would say
that many far-sighted Englishmen
believed that the adoption Of
free trade in America would give
England dangerous competition in all
the markets Of the world. because many
American fabrics were more honest than
English goods Of the same description.
Free trade would enable America soon
to equal England's mercantile marine.
which had heretofore been impossible
through the operation Of the American
navigation laws and tariff. England
would find America the most intelli-
gent competitor she had yet met.

In the discussion, which took some
what Of . conversational tone, between
Messrs. Holman and Ellis upon Ger
tain paragraph of the bill, words Of .
warm nature passed betweea the two
gentlemen, which were not generally
heard by the members. DIR. Holman
had been making five-minutes' speech,
when Mr.. Ellis suggested that the re-
marks made by Mr.. Holman had been
cogitatcd upon for some days, but they
should have been directed to the subse-
quent section.
Mr.. Holman replied that the gentle
man should be more truthful in estl-
mating the time in which he (Holman)
studied his speech.
Mr.. Ellis angrily retorted that he
would permit no man to impugn his
truth here or elsewhere. and that II any
one did so he would hold him to his re-
sponsibility. i,
Mr.. Holman returned that he had
heard such language before, and that 1t
was the language Of timidity.
The matter was here dropped.
