To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, NO., July 17.-DEAR
SIR: The most gigantic scheme
the world ever saw is the present at
tempt to corner the gold of the world.
All conspiracies of the past pale be-
fore this one, projected at the close
of the nineteenth century Less than
a thousand men are directly concern
ed in the plot, but the question of
their ultimate success hangs on a
thread. Their plans were fully ma
tured and partially carried out be-
fore an unsuspecting public awoke
to the danger. The decentralization
act of 1878, afterward denounced by
nine tenths of the men who voted
for it, was originated in Lombard
Street, London, and pushed through
by Wall Street, N. Y. The Bland
act of 1873 partially overcome the
wrong done, but in 1890 the Sher-
man bill gavethe conspirators anoth-
er decided advantage. Now, if the
Sherman bill, which has been basely
interpreted in favor of the oddities,
can be repealed without any substi-
tute, the United States government
will have done much toward promot-
ing the grand scheme. The boldest
and most outrageous overt act is the
adoption of the gold standard in
India, a country whose principal
currency is silver. The governments
of Germany, England and the Unit.
ed States are abetting the conspira.
tors and from this fact alone we can
easily perceive the magnitude of the
danger. Once accomplished, these
men will hold the civilized world in
subsection. Another astonishing
feature is the course pursued by the
great newspapers of our country.
Undoubtedly hundreds Of them have
been bought up and subsidized and
hundreds of others are apparently
overawed and don't know which side
of the fence to get down on. Instead
of becoming leaders in the struggle
to preserve our American liberties
they are evidently awaiting the
"magic touch" A few do not hest
tate. They are not waiting to SEE
what the Democratic party is going
to do, but put themselves in battle
array and are marching boldly t.
the front. These are leaders of true
Democracy and we will follow them
no matter how much the other fel
lows bark at the procession as i
goes by. X. G.

LEFT BOUND AND GAGGED.
Shocking Treatment of an Old Miser
by Masked Robbers.

ST. JOSEPH, NO., July 17.-Early
this morning a party of neighbors,
who had for two days past failed to
see Lou Barmann, an old man who
resides II miles east of this city,
move about his premises, went to
the house and bursting open the
door discovered the old man lying
unconscious upon the floor of the
house. He was tightly bound and
a gag had been forced into his
mouth. The floor of the cabin had
been torn up and all of the furni-
ture thrown about and ransacked.
Barmann, who is an old miser, and
is reputed to have had a large
amount of money secreted about
the house, was finally restored to
consciousness and stated that Oh
Friday night masked robbers had
entered his place and after knock
ing him senseless, bound and gag
ed him, and then made off with a
large amount of money, leaving him
bound and helpless for over 60 hours.
His recovery is improbable.

AT a meeting OF the Kelley gradu'
ates somewhere in the east a few
days since the following reasons
were given for drunkenness:
Some had become drunkards be-
cause they had too much money,
and others because they did not
have enough; some because they
had to work too hard, and others be-
cause they did not have anything
to do; some because they had gam
bled and lost, and others because
they had gambled and won; some
because they had no children, and
others because they had more chill
dren than they could support; some
because they were kept too closely
tied to their mothers apron strings
when young, and others because
too great freedom had been allowed
to them by their parents; some be-
cause they had shrews of wives to
drive them astray, and others be-
cause they had no wives to keep
them straight; some because they
had no friends, and others because
they had too many friends; some
because the weather was too hot,
and others because the weather was
too cold.
