During the embarkation was engaged

triiling injury in getting on deck, and send
ing them to an improvised hospital made
by bulllheading space in the rear of the
forecastle. The others, rs they arrived,
were slowed away by the Spanish mate, so
that when all were aboard there was just
roon for each to lie upon one side. AS no
one knew what proportion the men were
all werc< lcrdcd together. The next morn

and girls were all sent on deck, and mum

Then u close bulkhead was built across

they comprehended immediate compliance
followed.
l ne negroes were now sent on deck In
groups of eight, and squatted around a
large wooden platter, heaping full of
cooked rice beans and pork cut into small
cubes, The platters We're made by cutting
off the head of -four or other barrels, leav-
ing about four inches of the slaves Each
negro was given wooden spoon, which
all on board had amused themselves in
making during our forty day trip. Barrel
slaves were sawed into lengths of eight
inches split into other pieces one and a
half inch wide, and then shaped into
spoon with our pocketknives.
1t was surprising what good spoons
could be made in that manner. A piece of

The Silver Bill the Masterpiece of Ras-
oality.


cality.
The Senate has passed the confer
ence silver bill. The compromis
was effected by the sacrifice of prin
ciple to party policy and the meane
purpose Of passing the infamous fore
bill, by which the Republicans pro
pose to do their "own registering
counting and certification," holdinI
control of the government. Tn,
western people want silver and FIRE,
coinage, Which is of more importance
TO the west than the question of whC
controls the government. Republi
can Senators and Representative
from the west who favor free coinage
by the help of the Democrats, haC
the power to pass the free coinage
bill, but allowed the goldbugs to ca
jole them into compromise worse
than the present law.
The Givision in Congress on this
question reveals situation that will
strike the country with great force
1t not only shows the insincerity o.
the Republican party to legislate fol
the general good of the country, but
solely in the interest of the money
power and monopoly. 1t brings tC
light the identity of interest between
the west and the South on all ques.
tions of patriotic public policy and
the power of these two sections
united to control legislation against
the mOnopolists of the East. This
Is the issue that is looming up for
the next campaign, and is certain to
take the lead over the tariff question,
as Is clearly demonstrated by the or
ganized actions and outspoken SEN
timent5 of the farmers of the west.
The Villainy in this compromise
bill is that it provides that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury shall purchase
only such silver as is offered him.
He is not to go into market. The
maximum amount of 4 500, 900 ounces
a month will not, therefore, be pur.
chased, unless "offered.' 1t is not
made obligatory on the Secretary
that he purchase that much, and by
fxinga low price he may prevent
many offerings.
Another feature is that the Secre-
tary is not required to purchase silver
offered, even at his own price, if
mined outside of the United States.
He has his choice of redeeming silver
certificates either in gold or silver,
and being under the influence of the
goldbugs will always redeem them
with deprecated silver, unless he
may choose to enter into speculation
with the gold sharks in buying up
silver certificates at a deprecated
price and paying them in gold at
face value. 1t caps the climax of all
the frauds and rascalIy jobs that
have been put up by the present
Congress and. will render the parti-
sans infamous in the eyes of the suf-
fering people.
