a sneech in 1878:

These acts OF Congress, the one
striking the silver dollar from the
coinage, the other denying its legal
tender quality, threw the burden
at a time aohen zoe had neither gold nor
siluer in circuIation-on gold alone.
The sole effect of them both was to
take away from the people of this
country one-h half of the means that
they had for paying their debts.
Thus your legislation doubled the
value of gold and reduced the price
of all species of property from one
third to one-half.
Who is it then that needs to be
careful about his facts in this contro-
versy?
Gold and silver, according to the
Secretary OF the Treasury, did not
circulate as money in 1873. They
were sold on the market as commod-
tiles and silver ,oas the dearer of the
ta0o. The silver in a silver dollar
was worth more in the open market
than the gold in gold dollar.
When the two men dug in the
ground then for gold and silver both
had a fair chance, and the dust of
the silver man was worth more than
the dust of the gold digger. But the
fiat of the government was invoked.
"a vicious and unconstitutional
act," in the language of Senator
Beck - demonetized silver and
"doubled the val,te of gold," and on
this vicious and unconstitutional act
Enquirer" and his friends have been
standing ever since. They stand on
it now and with fierce energy re.ist
its repeal or modification. 1t was
all right by legislation to send gold
up, but it is all wrong to seek to re-
peal this legislation and bring gold
down. Enquirer" wants the labor
ing man to have cheap shoes. Let
him restore to him his constitutional
heritage of free silver and he will
have the money with which to buy
shoes. He will have employm ent.
His wife and little ones will have
bread. The merchant will have 8
market for his goods; the farmer fol
his crops. Enterprise of every sort
will take on new life. We will moi
have the cheap money of PETER and
Mcdowell, nor will we have the dear
money of Carnegie and Harrison,
doubled in value by unconstitutional
legislation.
Give back to the American citizen
his birth-right. Trade of every sort
is languishing to-day because we
have not the gold and silver of the
constitution as the steady basis of al
transactions. Because, as Senator
Plumb said in one of the last speech
es of his life, "The business of sixty
five millions of people rests upon &
volume of currency which must seem
to the most veteran financier as alb
solutely and dangerously small
We are not wiser than our fathers
whatever we may think. We need
to have the constitutional doctrine
restored that Congress had no righ
to interfere with the free coinage o
gold or silver, and that every dollar
of either metal coined is legal ten
der for debt.
enquirer" says | have dragged
his occupation into this controversy
He is mistaken. 1t is he who has
done this, not l. When he brought
his own views and his own memory
50 prominently into the discussion
and belittled Senator Bailey because
he was not authority in money cir
Giles, he invited the reply which
gave him. If he had not desired the
comparison he should not have as
sailed my witness.

and transported it bodily to Chicago
is w. H. Gray.
According to Mr.. Gray's figures
the Libby enterprise cost the com
pany round 800, ,000 In the first
instance, $23,3OO was paid for the
building as it stood in Richmond.
Then came the cost of taking it
down and transportation to Chicago
no small item, since it filed 11s
cars and cost $4,000 freightage.
Then came the rebuilding, with the
incest care to having the Chicago
version an exact reproduction of the
original, and then a handsome wall
was built around the whole struc-
ture
But it was a paying investment, "

Comment on the Conference,

cussing the currency question and

sentative merely of the silver party

little can be hoped for from the con-
ference, as there will be no chance to
discuss any practical arrangement
to utilize silver as subsidiary eur.

The Vienna correspondent Of the
Chronicle says: "The American
proposals at the Brussels monetary
conference. being repetition OF the
bimetallic program rejected AZ the
conferences of 1878 and 1881, have
caused disappointment here. as they
fail to supply basis for further dis

The First Steamboat.

The first steamboat ever built in
the United States was partly con-
structed in Frederick county in the
year 1885. The vessel was built by
James Rumsey, of Shepherdstown,
w. Va. Robert Fulton and his Cler-
mont were anticipated by Rumsey
twenty-five years The steamboat
was fitted up with machinery partly
manufactured at the Catoctin fur
mace of the Johnson Brothers. near
Frederick. The boiler, two cylin-
ders, pump, pipes, ETC., were manu-
factured in Baltimore. Some por-
tions of the works were made at the
Antietam Iron works. On March IA,
1855, public experiment, the first
ever undertaken in America, was
made on the Potomac river.
Rumsey succeeded in attaining a
speed of four miles an hour against
the current. The steamboat was
eighty feet long 1t was propelled
by steam engine, which worked a
vertical pump in the middle of the
vessel, by which the water was
drawn in at the bow and discharged
through a horizontal trunk at the
stern. The boat bore load of three
tons. The weight of its machinery
was 666 pounds. The whole of the
machinery, including the boiler, oc-
cupied a space but little over four
feet square.
Two distinguished men were pa
irons to Rumsey's experiment
George Washington and Governor
Thomas Johnson, of Maryland. The
experiment was made in the interest
of the proposed Chesapeake and
Ohio canal. Rumsey clearly and
satisfactorily demonstrated that a
boat could be propelled up stream
against the current. Thus we find
that the first steamboat was pro-
PEELED on the Potomac and portion
of the first machinery made in Fred
erick county nearly 11O years ago.

The committee will sit twice each

that Rothschilds proposals will be

then referred for adoption or reject
ion to the conference aud the gov
ernments represented, with modifi-
cations as suggested by the schemes

be that all gold coins below

EIGHTY ROUND PRIZE FIGHT.


OtCidkSA . BtoWs
COMFY ISLAND, Nov. 29.--The at
tendance at the athletic contest at
Coney Island club last night was
remarkably slim. The event of the
evening was q contest between
Martin Costello, of Buffalo, and
Alex. Greggains, Of san Francisco.
The men weighed in at $50 pounds,
and looked pictures Of manly per.
fection.
In the first round both men
spared cautiously, Greggains land
ing lightly on the point of the jaw,
with light return. In the second
Costello landed his left on Greg
gains mouth, and moment later
got first blood with straight left
on the nose. The third and fourth
saw some light exchanges. In the
fifth Costello landed a hard right
and left on Greggians' jaw and
stomach, and moment later hii
him again over the heart and on
the jaw, receiving in return a blow
OIL the stomach. In the sixth Cos
sello led with his left on the stom-
ach and got stiff left-hand jab In
| the mouth. Some severe body
blows were struck before the round
closed. In the seventh there were
numerous blows exchanged, and q
left-hand swing on Costello's jaw
caused him to fall In bis corner
The round was finished with both
men still fresh. In the eighth not
much was done. In the ninth
there was considerable hard fight
ing, Costello landing on the neck
and getting a heavy one on the
stomach. He landed again on his
head. Greggains looked rather the
/ worse for the punishment. In the
tenth, Greggains landed terrific
left handler on Costello's jaw, and q
moment later Costello got in q
stomach blow. Both then led with
the left, coming together with q
crash, Costello landing on the chest
and Greggains on the stomach,
The eleventh was the same. In the
twelfth Greggains rushed and ac-
cidentally pushed Costello over.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth q
number of hard blows were ex.
changed, but there was nothing
serious.
From the fifteenth to the thirty
ninth round the men fought with
varying success, both men showing
great generalship. In the fortieth
round Costello forced the fighting
and hammered Greggains' nose till
blood covered his face. The round
ended by Greggains scoring the
first knock down blow of the fight,
At the end of the 80th round the
fight was declared draw.
