chase the private stock III the Atlantic and

The COmi.E victory or silver.
[For the Dlspatch.l

In July, 1856. in spite OF great opposition,
there was attached to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill by the Federal Congress what
is known az the silyer.csriidcate bill. II
was the 1st Of October, 1896, before the cer-
uticstes appeared 70 snY appreciable extent
in circulation, aud no 10 the LIST OF Septem-
Der, 1883, the enormous amount OF Sl22,50O,-
900 have been put IN circulation, almost en-
tirely composed Of silver certificates. And
as large a. tbIs is, 1t increased 10 S246 00O, 900
on the lat OF January, 1889, being thus more
than doubled Ia four months. Every doll1r
has been actively absorbed, aud the demsnd
to-day is even greater than II has ever been
before. Never I'm the history Of the world
was there q more complete refn,ati0n OF the
bosry SANDER that the people Of this country
did not want silver To those who have
fsmilIariZed themselves with the history OF
silver siace its secret and fraudulent demon-
citation In 1878 by band OF reckless con-
spirltors this fact presents abundant food
for thought. There never was greater
crime committed against the farmer. the
laborer, the and.owOer. and, in fact, against
all the objects sought 10 be promoted by
civilization, than this Infamous act oi
demonstration about which cannot
even now write except with feelings
OF intense lnuiRuaiiOn. At tuc upuE
of midnight In February. 1873, Just five
minutes before Congress adjourned, the fatal
ACT was passed. and It was so skIlfully done
that IL was not known to more than dozen
members Of Congress. and these were doubt
less concerned in the plot. These couspira-
tors against the well-being OF society well
knew that such crime would not for au
instant bear the light OF day, and though
nearly sixteen years have elapsed we are
lust beginning to learn the full details OF the
detestable plot. believe u was Mr.. Alex
anaer Delmar who first gave evidence against
the corsp,rators, and even yet We are
ignorant OF tue names Of the rob
bers who perpetrated this diaboiieai
crime. IL was not party measure.
Ii was not done by Republicans ss Republic
caas nor by Democrats ~ Democrats. There
never mas been tine when either OF the two
great parties OF the country would have
sanctioned such thing for sn instant.
Therefore, this article IL written entirely
without any partisan spirit. It took about
six months for this act TO become widely
known, and then In september, 1873. It's To-
gitimste result, the dreadful panic OF that
wear, came upon US with force never to be
forgotten. IL would be impossible IN the
limits OF this article TO adequzteiy describe
its fsr-reaching aud disastrous eGects. Suffice
II to say that the demonstration OF silver

u, maney-rsduced and cut down the price
and value u every acre OF land In the United
States outside Of lbe ciiles mofe tsau 30 per
