duly impressed with the number OF
soldiers available to suppress any up
rising.
General Miles has sent word to the In
dian chiefs that they must not look upon
the movement of the troops in reviewing
as one directed against them, but rather

drawing to close.

FREE COINAGE.
Business Men of Boston Opposed to the
Measure.

BosroN, Jan. 20.--Faneuil Hall was
packed to-day with business men of Bos-
ton, gathered at the call of Mayor Mat
thews, to formally protest against the FREQ
coinage of silver.
Anumber of addresses were made. Cen
eral i. A. Walker deprecated the admis-
sion into the Union of new States to
neutraliZe the influence of the older COM
munity. The FREQ coinage of silver is
dishonest and destructive.
The principal speech was made by
Hon. Edward Atkinson. He said. in
part: "a small fraction of Senators from
the remote border States have combined
together as representatives of the silver
mines, rather than of the people, to force
into circulation dollar made of silver
which will not meet the test by which tho
just unit of value must be tried-a test by
fire. The silver dollar is not true standard.
1t may be worth seventy, eighty, ninety
or even a hundred cents for awhile. and
yet no one can tell what it will be worth
the next week, month or year. Such Il
dollar is not fit to be the standard. or unit
of value of a great commercial nation.
Faneuil Hall, he said, calls upon tho
great West, and the great West will surely
respond. We do not call upon sparsely
settled border States, whose little product
OF lne SILVER mines is not equal i'll value
to the hens eggs annually produced in
the barn-yards of the country, and not
even equal in value to the poultry and
eggs of poor New England.
The farmers, workmen, manufacturers
and all the solid sense of this country are
against the measure"
In conclusion, Mr. Atkinson said: "Let
us call upon the Executive and the Leg
islature of the State to see to it that an
Act is passed to this end, that in all con-
tracts entered into after the passage of
this Act, in which dollars are named in
promise, the courts shall construe that
the dollar meant and promised is the best
dollar that can be made-a dollar in gold
coin.
I'm this course we will be justified by
law, by the action of California in another
emergency, and the record of our great
commonwealth, which throughout all
time has maintained its promise according
to the intent and meaning of whatever the
law of the legal tender may have been
We shall be justified, again, by the act of
our great country, first among nations,
that of having issued, under the stress of
| war, its own notes for the purpose of coll
lecting a forced loan, and has paid, or
stands ready to pay, the debt in the best
dollar that can be coined-a dollar made

That in these enlightened days man

ately upon receiving the papers, took
