states. The Massage OF free silver
coinage act would raise their silver
product from Its commercial to its coin
ing value, an increase Of about 80 per
cent, but the silver states would not be
the only benefciaries of the measure,
for it would destroy the gold premium
of 80 per cent. on the $1,000, 600, 600 in
funded indebtedness Of one kind and an
other resting on the people. and paya-
BILE, first and last. in the products of
their labor. 1t would accomplish this
by restoring to them the right, taken
away from them in 1878, of paying in
the cheaper Of the two metals, which Is
silver, 4121s grains to the dollar, instead
of being compelled, as they now are, to
pay in gold, or in silver and paper
valued by the gold standard Of $3.50 to
the dollar.
It is true silver is still legal tender,
and debtor may pay his obligations to
any amount in silver, silver certificates,
greenbacks or bank notes; but all paper
money is redeemable in silver, and sill
yer is measured, not by the ancient
original silver dollar, as it ought to be,
but in gold-for the government. under
the Bland-Allison act, coined the silver
which it bought for 81 into g. 80, thereby
forcing the people to pay in labor, or the
products Of their labor. $3.50 for every
silver dollar they get.
Free silver coinage, on perfect
equality with gold coinage, as it existed
for the eighty-three years prior to 1873,
is the only remedy for this injustice. 1t
would indeed practically take of 80 per
cent from all funded debts; but this
would only be taking off what was
wrongfully put on, and making debts
payable at 100 cents to the dollar in
stead 100 cents to the dollar, as now.
Another effect Of it would be to advance
the price of labor, products and property
by measuring them in silver instead of In
dear gold.-Southern Alliance Farmer.

The DOLLAR" Liars Lead.

The banker who is loudest in his de-
nunciation Of the "seventy-eiglt cent"
silver dollar will accept the same dollar
on deposit at 100 cents. And should
customer, having in bis possession q
certificate of deposit obtained from him
for silver dollars, request that it be
cashed in either greenbacks, national
bank notes or gold, his request would be
granted readily, because depositors are
the kind of customers that bankers like
to please, and cause the deposited
silver was worth as much as either Of
the other kinds Of money. Bankers are
not in the habit Of making, even their
best customers, a present Of twenty-five
cents on each silver dollar deposited
with them. Take it all in all. even the
tariff is not so picturesquely and ear
nestly, not to say religiously, lied about
as the dollar Of our daddies" is.-Na-
tional Economist.

Labor Protection in Pennsylvania.

The most literally protected" state
in the Union, though 1t is the state most
blessed by nature in the abundance Of
its natural deposits, has been the state
most cursed since the war by dissatis-
faction and convulsion in the ranks Of
labor and by the number Of collisions
between labor aud capital. In the face
of this irrefutable lesson of domestic
history, how can it be claimed that pro-
lection Of the Republican variety bene-
fits labor?-Rocheste Herald.

Coin Bangles are Unlawful.

The stringing of small coins to form
bangles Or bracelets has been decided
to be a fraudulent mutilation of law
full money, and even the piercing of q
coin for use as a watch-chain pendant
is held to be an offence. 1t is we'll to
bear this in mind, because it is in op-
position to the old country maxim that
there is no offence in cutting a coin
unless it is subsequently offered as
money, and prima facie case of
fraud thus established, says the St.
Louis be-Democrat. 1t is not yerv
likely the government officers will go
around arresting all ladies found
wearing ornaments with pierced coins
in them, for, even if there were no other
risk, there would be great danger of
arresting some one who was wearing
string of foreign coins closely re-
sembling ours at first glance. But the
law is so announcement and unreason-
able that it will more than likely be
repealed.

Death of n Girl Leper

New Orleans, La, has novelty in the
shape of a hospital for lepers, which until
the other day contained four inmates. 1t is
situated on Hagen avenue, near Gravier, in
an isolated portion of the city. and the lepers
are treated there. Treatment plays a small
part in the matter, though, as the disease is
incurable, and the hospital is designed simply
to prevent lepers from mingling with the
rest of human kind
About month ago young white girl E,
Miss Naomi Ribbi, came to the hospital from
Iberville Parish. She belonged to one of
the creole families in that section OF the
State, and was only twenty years old.
1belville is the home of a number of lepers
and from some one there the young woman
contracted the terrible disease. When re-
ceived at the leper hospital it was found she
was beyond even the alienation of ner pain.
Both her eyes had been eaten away. She
lived month, passing through terrible tor
lures, and has just died in great agony.

DEVILS Lake.

Few people outside of the Ozark
wilderness in Southwestern Missouri
have ever heard of Devils Lake, one
of the strangest of natural phenomena.
A traveller thus describes it: "Fancy a
lake perched on the top of noun
tain, its surface from fifty to one hun
dred feet below the level of the earth
surrounding it, fed by no surface
streams, untouched by the wind, dead
as the Sea of Sodom. There is no
point of equal altitude from which
water could flow within hundreds of
miles, and yet it has a periodical rise
of thirty feet or over, which is in no
way affected by the atmospheric con-
ditions in the country adjacent. 1t
may rain for weeks in Webster coun-
ty, and the return of fair weather will
find Devils Lake ct its lowest point,
while it may reach its highest point
during a protracted drought"
John Lee, who lives within mile
or two of the lake, says that sound
ing of 100 feet has failed to reach
bottom. Owing to the steepness of
the sides of the bowl in which the
water lies, it is very difficult TO meas
ure the depth. He believes that the
lake is fed by subterranean stream,
and that the water so supplied flows
out by a passage many hundreds of
feet below the lakes surface. A Mr..
Crabbe, who has lived in the neigh
borhood for years, says that he always
knows when the rise is coming by re-
ports in the papers from the Upper
Missouri River in Montana, His
theory is that the DEVILS Lake is a
part of an underground river, whose
entrance is larger than its exit, and
whose source is somewhere in the ex-
treme Northwest. DEVILS Lake is 1900
feet above the sea. 1t is situated
a few miles north of Fordland ON the
Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis
Railroad.
