SOLID FACTS ABOUT MONEY AND
ITS COINAGE.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
There is destined to be some legislation
on the money question by either the
Fifty-second or Fifty-third congress.
That the opinions of the majority Of
the people of this country are erroneous
on the subject of coinage, and that there
fore the legislation is almost certain to be
injurious rather than beneficial, is APP
parent to those who have carefully ex-
amined the facts in regard TO money and
coinage as found IN the official reports of
the government. The volume of money
per capita in the country today is much
larger than it ever was before, and that
money Is on a sounder basis.
In the year 1860, with population of
81 ,443 321, the amount of money in the
country was about S444, 1O2, All; the
amount in circulation, Sl35, 407. 252;
making the total amount per capita
about S1406 the amount in circulation
per capita, S13.S5. Previous to that
time, the coinage of both gold
and silver had been on the
same basis. The total production of
| gold from 1892, the year that the act
establishing the miLts was passed. up 10
/ 1860, period of 50 years. was 1913. 536.-
769, of silver only 81. Csc, zoe; there being
| $673, SS6. 769 more OF gold produced than
| there was of silver. During the wear
| 1860 the United States coined only 81
| 259, 1886 worth of silver, including frac-
! tional coin, and S23, 4iG, 600 Of gold. 1t
will thus be seen that under the
same conditions of coinage OF both
metals, as early as 1869, there was in a
single year, S2l.2l4.265 more Of gold
coined than there was of silver. The
production Of silver IN the wear 1860. wa,
only $3.50. 900, while that Of gold was

TIE CULDIIN ALTON.

"God is not mocked: he that soweth tC
the wind shall reap the whirlwind." The
Republican party of Kansas has garn
cred whole crop of twisters aud

never have been questioned, but the

their swelled heads and more exalted

the gall and stink-pots of their I'M
holy allies, under the leadership
of that old Democratic dodger who
now goes to a seat in Plumb's place. No
warning of the threatened revolution
was needed. First came the election Of
a crazy house. Then Ingalls, was sue
ceeded by PETER. Two more years rolled
around, and the governor, and all the
state officers, and the legislature, and
the state itself, are lost through an I'M
principled fusion; and John Martin, who
never held an elective office except at
the hands Of Republicans, steps forth
from the muddle of an anarchistic revo-
luton with commission to the highest
position, save one, under the federal
constitution.

A Fortune for a Snovdrif,.

''The most artistic swindle known TO
the history of the Colorado mining in
dustry occurred three years ago this
winter at Georgetown" said an old
miner recently. Georgetown is up in
the mountains and in the center of a
very rich mining country. In the win
ter snow drifts hundreds of feet deep
among the mountains and packs down
very hard. T wO old miners ran tun-
nel into the snow at the base of
mountain distance of three hundred
feet, timbered it up nicely, plastered it
with mud, and at the far end piled a
quantity of very rich quartz Then
they went down to Denver and became
acquainted with a couple of wealthy
Englishmen who had just come over to
look for an investment for their spare
cash that would pay big divvy. They
took them to Georgetown and showed
them their tunnel and the FL Dorado
at the end of it The tunnel, had It

would have represented thousands of
dollars. The Englishmen were charmed
with it and the prospect. They bought
up the claim for eighty thousand dol
lars spot cash, and went east 10 con-
tract for quartz mill machinery. When
they returned in the spring there was
nothing left of the tunnel but the
woodwork and a wagon load of qsartz

The Charokee STRIP.

From ths Atchlsou Chsup-o-.
Public sentiment Is. apparently, rap
idly crystailizing in favor Of an immedi-
ate opening Of the Indian lands to white
settlement. The body of most valuable
arabic land living along the southern
border OF Kansas, known as tie Chero-
kee strip. is one of the most promising
unoccupied farm regions IN the west.
Why hasn't it been opened to settlement
before: The answer TO that question, If
truthfully made. would unfold certain
schemes OF rascality not pleasant for the
public ear. There IS 10 good reason
why those lands were not opened for
settlement years ago. While the people
hare watched and waited along the Dor
der for opportunity to 60 over and
possess the promised land, cattle barDEs

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

1t is very rare that the death of a
prominent person has occasiOned a dis

eulogy, that from General Buffers first

to the termination, not specially glorious,
of his military career, he rendered bene-
fits 10 his country that thousand tim es
outweighed the i'll effects OF his foibles
and his follies, his over-w eening self
confidence and self assertion and his
constant pursuit of selfish ends.
Speaking of his military career, while
not brilliant strategist he had that self
possession and equipoise that marks the
successful commander. An instance in
point: On reaching Baltimore with his
command at the time above referred to
he camped the troops for the night on a
hill, for strategic reasons. 1t was rain
ing at the time and everything and every
body, the colonel included, was soaking
wet Shortly after nightfan some one
rushed up to him with the information
that the hill had been undermined and
charged with immense quantities of
powder and was liable to be blown up
any moment. The commanders quiet
reply was: ''All right, let 'em blow; we
are too wet to burn" The camp was
