Gentlemen: Currency is the life-blood
OF a nation. An abundance of II Is az
necessary as an abundance of food. The
late Thurlow Weed said that he always
had strong intuitlons that the leading
journals had been misleading the people
about silver have these intuitiOns and
also knowledge that this is so One OF
the most potent admissions in Secretary
WINDOWS report on his plan Is this: ut
is freely admitted that the predictions Of
our wisest fnanciers as to where the safe
limit Of silver coinage would be reached
have not been fulfilled"
Few realize that while we are on gold
standard we are liable to a panic at any
time for several reasons. Since 1873 in
ternatlonal credits have been based on
gold. Before that a debtor in any ooun-
try had practically the option of paying
in gold or silver, at a ratio that had long
been fixed. All the mints of the world
but that Of England were open to both
metals, and the price Of silver, In terms
OF gold, was quite constant In fact, il
has been a wonder to many that it has
been 30 constant since then In silver
using countries like France. This is the
explanation: In France the debtor has
always the choice Of the metal which
happens to be most easily prOcurable; and
this power Of choice creating O demand
cOunteracts the incipient fuctuation.
Thus the law Of supply and demand,
working on gold and silver as commod-
tiles, automatically Counterbalances any
excessive tendency TO use one metal in |
preference to the other
But we have dangers that France
knows not Of; for there business is mostly
done with money, while here, as in En-.
gland, it is mostly done with notes and
checks. Our banks, with their 20 per
cent Of money to liabilities should not
have much to say about "72-cent dollars"
In any big financial furry here, silver
and silver certificates will be the only
thoroughly available currency. WhyH
Because gold iR our bulls eye. Green

niles and savings banks are payable In
gold or money convertible into gold
The last two add much 10 the danger by
the fact that though mostly agreeing tc
pay deposits without notice, they are moi
forced TO keep reserves-relylng on the
commercial banks. The humminR ton
with the gold peg goes nicely until
trouble comes. Then It ilops over quick
enough. You may be sure that in panic
where gold goes to a premium over all
else, greenbacks and national bank notes
will flee away and only despIsed silver
remain. The only way to get much gold
for silver certificates is TO induce import.

And how much silver have WEI The

ment bonds-the issue TO be recalled after
the emergency. Our wiser rulers don't
see 1t. Meanwhile the need Of money ia
great. Our producers are getting half
what they should, because their products
are measured In terms OF gold. Those
who expect a great return Of currency
from the west and south this year will
be mistaken. Those regions are getting
little out Of debt, and will keep much
OF the money. 1t 10 a scandalous sub
terfuge to say that free coinage Of silver
Is demanded in behalf of miners. The
currency Is steadily decreasing, while the
demand for II increases.
But there is a lion in the way--the
British lion-who has many whelps in
this land. Thousands OF years ago Alex
ander drew the money metals from Egypt
and Western Asia. The iron hand of
Rome drew them still more thoroughly
into Southern Europe. But the outside
nations had revenge, Italians, taxed to
despair, largely ceased production. The
empire relied on Northern Africa and
other untaxed lands for food. Rome was
poor again. Depopulation and poverty
spread from Italy to Sicily, to hlther and
further Gaul, TO Asia and 10 Africa, long
before barbarian crossed the Alps.

Cured by Cuticura

For about thirteen years 1 have been troubled
with eczema or some other cutaneous disease
which all remedies failed to cure. Hearing of the
CUTICURA REMEDIES, I resolved to give them a
trial. l followed the directions carefully and it
affords me much pleasure to say that before using
two boxes of the CUTICURA, four cakes of CUTl-
CURA SOAP and one bottle of CUTICCRA REsoLv-
ENT, was entirely cured.
In addition to my own case, my baby boy, then
about five months old, was suffering with what L
supposed to be the same disease mine, to such
an extent that his head was coated over with
solid scab, from which there was a constant flow
of pus, which was sckening to look upon besides
two large tumOr-like kernels on the back of his
head. Thanks to your wonderful CUTICURA RkME-
DIES his scalp is perfectly well, and the kernels
have been scattered that there is only one little
place by his left ear and that is healing nicely.
Instead of a coating of scabs he has fine coat of
hair much better than that which was destroyed
by the disease. would that the whole world of
sufferers from skin and blood diseases knew the
value of your CUTIcURA REMEDIES as l do.

Almost a Blockade.

Yesterday from early morning until late
at night at 10 Sixth street, near Suspension
bridge, the sidewalk was blockaded with
men, women and children. With great force
a reporter Of Pittsburg newspaper sue
ceeded in entering the store. The manager
explained matters by stating that "The
Great Bankrupt Assignee Sale" was selling
the balance of S10O, 900 worth of fine tailor
made clothing, regardless of cost or value.
After an examination of their goods, and
such low prices, he did not wonder at the
tremendous business they were doing, on
account of having to close out balance OF
stock within the next ten days. There is
still good assortment left to select from.
Call early before it is too late. Look for the
sign of the Great Bankrupt Assignee Cloth
ing Sale, 10 Sixth street, near Suspension
bridge, Pittsburg, Pa. All goods sold at
private sale. No auction. Store open from
7:30 A. NJ. until 9 P M, Saturday until IL
P. NJ. Bear in mind that this sale will posi-
lively close within the next ten days.

here and which was protected by heavy
duty-there was no trust or combination.
On the other hand, there was very
powerful trust or combination for raising
the price of beef, and lowering the cost of
cattle on the hoof; and no one could say
that that trust was the result of high duties.
Then there was the Standard Oil Company,
another great and ramifying combination
which controlled the prices of refined oil in
all the markets of the world, and without
any reference whatever TO the tariff. There
was also the Oatmeal Trust and the Whisky
Trust, which had nothing to do with duties.
IN FAVOR OF REVISION.
Although he agreed with the gentlemen
who were in favor of remodeling and revis-
ing the tariff, still Senators, if they wished
to correct the great evils of trusts and COM
binations, would fall far short Of their our
pose if they confined themselves to modi-
fcation of tariff rates. 1t was the duty of
Congress to put on the statute books such
legislation as would inhibit trusts and COM
binations.
Mr.. Teller took part in the tariff discus
sion and read some testimony taken before
British commission few years ago.
Mr.. Cook offered substitute for the bill.
and Mr.. George offered an amendment. both
of which were ordered printed. The bill
then went over till Monday.

Service Policy of the Administration
-CInrkson Indignantly De-
nies All Charges.
WAsHIN GToN, March 21.-Much inter-
est has been excited at the Postofice De-
partment by the action of Mr.. VIM. Dudley
Foulke, OF Indiana, in sending out inquiries
to Presidential postoffices where changes
have occurred since the 4th of March, 1889,
especially to the postmasters who have been
removed,
In speaking of the matter to-day First
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson said:
'We are receiving letters from newly ap-
pointed postmasters who have been addressed
in this way. The inquiries sent out, in
every instance, that 1 have seen, show that
the case has been prejudiced and the change
made assumed to be wrong. 1t is evidently
an effort to get statements from removed and
disappointed officials for political use,
and some of the letters show an in
tention to try and induce the new
postmasters to make statements of
defense when no defense is needed. The
postmasters seem to realize that they have
reports to make only to their superior
officers. No political capital can be made
out of these changes. The President has
made no removals except for cause-ior de-
linquency in official duties, ineficiency of
service or violation of law. He has refused
to make any changes for partisan reasons.
Changes made for cause have been only on
reports of inspectors showing demand for
the change in the interest of the public SER
vice.

ANOTHER HERO CONE,
Major General George Crook
Suddenly Called Away.
HIS HEART FAILED HIM
For the First Time in His Career,
and He Never Rallied.
SKETCH OF THE WARRIORS LIFE

CHICAGO, March 21.-Major General
George Crook, q. S. A, in command of the
Department of the Missouri, died at the
Grand Pacific Hotel at 7:15 o'clock this
morning, OF heart disease. General Crook
was at army headquarters all day yester-
day, and up to within few minutes of his
death there was no indication that he was
not in perfect health.
General Crook arose shortly before z
o'clock this morning, apparently in his
usual health, and, in accordance with his
custom, began exercising with the weights
and pulleys connected with an apparatus
for the purpose which he kept in his room.
After exercising few minutes he stopped
and lay down upon a lounge, saying that
he felt a difficulty in breathing. A few
moments later he called out to his wife:
''oh, Mary, Mary, 1 need some help: L

EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY.
Mrs Crook has received the following
telegram of coincidence from Secretary of
War Proctor:

which General Crook served so well in sorrow
