The ola ConIinenlnI Money.

The condition of American finance in
1850 was simply horrible. The green
back delusion possessed peoples minds
even more strongly then than in the days
following our civil war. Prlatiah Webster
the ablest political economist in America
at that time thinker far in advance of
his age, was almost alone in insisting upon
taxation. The popular feeling was express
ed by delegate in Congress who asked,
with unspeakable scorn, why he should
vote to tax the people, when PHILADELPHIA
printing press could turn out money by the
bushel, But indeed Congress had no power
to lay any tax, save through requisitions
upon the state governments There seemed
to be no alternative but TO 20 on issuing the
money, which many people glorifed as the
Safest possible currency because mo
body could take it out of the country" As
Webster truly said, the country had suffer
ed more from this cause than from the
arms of the enemy At the end of the
year 1913, the paper dollar was worth 10
cents in the northern states and 70 cents in
the South. Early in 1880 its value had
fallen To two cents and before the end of
the year 1t took ten paper dollars TO make
cent. In October, Indian corn sold
wholesale in Boston for $3.50 a bushel, but.

to circulate, debts could not be collected

credit. To say that a thing was mot worth

A Case of Pathetic Devotion.

There Is something unusually pathetic, %
says a correspondent Of the Baltimore Amer
lean, in the death Of Congressman Watson,
Of Pennsylvania. Lewis Watson died for
his partys sake. He lies dead today be
cause he felt his party's call to be supreme
When the first contested election case was
up in the House, before the adoption Of the

TO make a quorum. Mr. Watson was sick
in bed His physician, Dr. Magruder, for

second dispatch came, Mr. Watson despite
the warning of the ply ysician and the tears
of his wife arose aud came on to Washing
ton. He voted and went home TO bed
When the Federal elections bill was To be
voted on he was again telegraphed for
His doctor wired back that it was out of
the question His friends in the house
sought to procure pair, but the Democrats
refused TO arrange pair. They knew how

he might die at any moment, and the Dem
ocrats, as they told his friends. would not
pair dead vote with living Mr. Wat
son learned the night before the voting day
that no pair could be arranged He knew,
too, how desperately his party needed every
vote. Loyalty was greater 10 him than
life. He came on to Washington and was
almost carried into the House More dead
than alive he was taken back home. He
collapsed long before he reached home, and
for weeks his life hung by thread The
second trip to Washington had completely
exhausted him, Careful attention and ten
der nursing saved his life and he recovered
sufficiently to be taken to the seashore.
His doctor told him at the time that any
further attempt TO attend to his work meant
death But when, last week, the general
dispatch went out to all Republicans, call
ing them back for the agricultural bills,
MIR. Watson deiied death and came back ."

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

A staff correspondent Of the New York
Press who is making an extended western
trip, writes in recent letter Of the Farm
ers' Alliance movement in politics aud says
that everywhere west of the Alleghauies it
is regarded by the old political leaders with
fear and dread. 1t is as yet an unknown
force, but the operations of its members in
taking possession now and again Of conven-
tions Of either Of the old parties making
| nominations TO suit themselves, and dictat
ing platforms at variance with the regular
party principles, has made its power so
clearly apparent that the politicians are all
on their knees before il. Besides, they
have heard of its sweeping everything be
fore it in certain southern states literally
absorbing and in sense destroying the
Democratic organization, and they fear sim
liar results in their own sections While

The Discovery of Gold In California.

The Discovery Of Geld in CaIIfsrnin.
One Of the anomalies o the gold discov.

in California. 1t was midsummer before
the news was generally credited in Califor

come convinced that the reports were true
and that fortunes could be made in a few
months in the Sacramento Valley, there
was rush such as was never before
known in history. OF course the Califor
MIA settlers had the great advantage of
proximity 70 the new III Dorado Next,
perhaps came those in Honolulu The Ore.
gonians obtained their news by way of the
Sandwich Islands and Fort Vancouver.
These hardy pioneers had just emerged
from a long struggle with hunger, the will
deruess and the Indians. They were poor,
and they saw in the future only a vista of
weary work with small profits, as they had
no market for their produce Suddenly
the scattered settlements we're electrified

who took part in the rush declare that not
less than two-thirds Of all those capable of
bearing arms swsrmed over the Siskiyou
mountains and came down tO the gold fields

news had spread to the East, to Australia
and 70 south America From all quarters
