A NEG RO SOLD.
Slavery Days Recalled Ely The
Act.

Act.
A dispatch from Fayette, Mo, re-
calls the dark days of slavery, by an
nouncing the sale of a negro on the
block. 1t says: "For the second
time since the close of the war this
city was the scene of the sale of a
negro at the block last Tuesday.
The victim was George Winn, lazy,
worthless, negro, who lived in Glas-
gov, this county. r. S. Campbell
secured his services for six months
for the sum of 500. Winn was
arrested last week by constable on
the charge of vagrancy and tried
before six prominent citizens at
Glasgow. It was shown in testi-
mony that Winn had worked only
six days in the last six months and
that he was invariably addicted to
street loafng. The jury found him
guilty as charged, and he was ordered
to be brought to this city and sold
as vagrant.
Judge Boyd McCrary was the
auctioneer, and brought many remin-
iscences to the minds of the old
slave holders in the manner in
which he made the crying, Winn is
. burly, tough-looking negro, about
% years old and five feet eight
inches tall, and will be hard to
handle by his purchaser.
The first public sale of negroes
in this county under the vagrancy act
took place May %, 1892. The sale
was extensively advertised and
there was an immense crowd present.
Many of the older negroes who had
been slaves before the war, talked in
q very bitter manner about it, and
many threats were made, indeed so
strong was the feeling that the
sheriff was induc to swear in an
extra number of deputies to preserve
the peace on that day. Three
negroes were placed on the block
and Judge McCrary did the talking.
The first victim was George
Turner, who was a likely appearing
negro, and the bidding was lively.
He was knocked down to a banker
for $26. AS the man ran away
within two days and has not been seen
since the banker was out his $26.
The next victim was John Hicks,
= lively young fellow, % years old.
John might have brought good
sum OF money, but as he mounted the
block he shouted: Ise gwine to tell
yon white folks now dat dis nigger
amt gwine to work for nobody
nohow." He was knocked down for
81 and his purchaser sold him for
$3.50. He worked two days and
left the coutry.
The last victim was Sam Smell, a
black negro about 35 years old. "An
old negro began bidding and kept it
up until $3.50 was reached when he
stopped "nodding" and said: "He
amt wuff any more dan dat.
Use knowed him too long. You
can't fool dis niggah." A saloon
keeper bought him for $5.25, dressed
him IN a new suit and filled him
with beer and probably got his full
value from him.-Es

All the large fruit packing estab.
lishments in California are now at
work--some on full, others on par
tial time--thc banks having extend-
ed the necessary accommodation.
This will, therefore, save the fruit
crop. The bsaks are also assisting
in the harvesting Of the grain crop;
but on condition that the farmer as
sisted will sell his wheat at once,
and not hold it for speculation.
Over 4350,0OO in cash has already
been subscribed for the Midwinter
Worlds Fair in San Francisco. In
addition, the Southern Pacific Com.
pany will construct the necessary
trackage free Of charge; the Market
and other street railroads will trans
port all fair officials and employees
free and pay 100000 or go each in
cash; the Fair Grounds will be used
free of charge; and other donations
are offered which will bring the con.
tributions SO far up to a cool million
dollars.
Three banks failed in Portland.
Dr., last Friday; also two in Helena,
Mon; all strong banks, with at least
two dollars of assets for every dollar
Of liabilities.
Gold has begun to return to the
United States; but the Treasury
gold reserve remains below the $780,.
600, 600 notch.
Many Of the New England mills
have either shut down or been put
on half or three.quarters time. So
have iron mills in Pennsylvania.
Fear Of material tariff changes is the
cause of this.
All the savings banks of New
York and Brooklyn will require the
6O'day notice prescribed by law,
prior to the withdrawal Of deposits.
Between 1000 and 1000 persons
are fed daily, free of charge, and
many lodged in tents on the same
terms, at Camp Relief, Denver.
Most of the lead mines of Mis-.
souri, are shut, on account OF the
low price of lead and the fear of the
removal of the tariff of $50 per ton.

MONUXECALLlNM AND BI.
uErALLISA.

Recommendation means that gold
shall be the only metal that shall
become a legal tender in the pay
ment Of debts. and in the completion
Of all business transactions, except
in small amounts, up to the sum of
IS, necessary in making change.
A law Of this kind would make
all the silver now used as money Of
no value except in small amounts as
subsidiary coins. That would take
away the purchasing power of more
than one.half Of the currency now
used as money in the world. Every
man and every woman knows what
that would do
First-It would make the laborer
work more hours, days or weeks to
obtain q given amount of what is
called money;
SeconJ-It would make the farm
or the little homestead worth less;
Third-If there was a mortgage
or debts owing it would take more
hours Of labor, q larger proportion
Of the house or farm or any kind of
personal property to pay that debt;
and, per consequence, it would give
TO the capitalist more Of property,
more Of labor. It would enable him
to have more servants at less wages,
more Injuries at less expense. He
would obtain y greater rate of inter-
est-and this state OF things could
only make the rich richer and the
poor poorer.
Bimetallism means that both gold
and silver shall, at a ratio of about
sixteen ounces of silver to one ounce
OF gold, be legal tender in the pay.
ment of all debts and the money
used in all transactions of business.
The meaning of that is that there
will be more Of the medium of ex-
change called money in circulation,
which of course means that it will
take less labor to obtain a given
amount, that the products Of the soil
vould bring higher prices, that
property of every kind would bring
more of what we call money. 1t
means that the masses of the people
will be less under the domination Of
the moneyed power.
The money power wants the Sher-
man law repealed without giving the
free coinage Of silver that our fore.
fathers had until 1873.
The interest Of every laboring man
and woman. every owner of every
kind Of property, except gold owners
and those who have debts due them,
is to insist that we shall have free
coinage Of silver; that silver shall
have the rights returned to it that
we're taken away in l873-if not Sc.
cretly. it was at all events taken
without our knowledge.
This 10 . simple, plain statement
OF the present situation.
Every one can take their choice
upon which side they will throw
their induence-either upon that OF
the money power. or that of the
nassos. Now is the time to choose.

Very Few Calves This Year, but the
Prospect Good for Beef Cattle.
Helena tMon.., independent.
Tho next shipments Of beef cattle
from Montana for Chicago will be
made next week from the eastern part
Of the state. but the heavy and steady
shipments will cot begin for . month
yet aud will last until well along in
fall. Last year the 6sss shipments
were made the latter part of June.
Cattle came out of the winter this year
very poor, and they ara only now be-
ginning to put on flesh. Chicago
commission men advise the Montana
growers to hold their cattle until they
are in prime condition. saying the
prospect 10 excellent for good prices
later in the season. Some Dakota
growers, forced to sell, have already
shipped to Chicago, but their cattle
was in such condition that they
brought only 81 so to 60 . hundred.
Until there are worse times east than
there are at present, aud money gets
tighter, it i. expected that Montana
cattle will average the growers in
Chicago this year 81 so +. hundred.
VI course tho best beef will go from
81 to ~ higher, but it is the expecta>
ton that the general average will be
AS stated. This is about 81 more than
cattle averaged last year.
Reports from the round>ups indicate
that the calf crop will be vary poor

been almost nothing. This lack If

S0-acre farm of fine corn. and when further
ashed who WAS blowing the corn, said 1t
WAS his wife and boy; that he himself had
had been to town aud that he didn't feel
very well nohow. The speaker showed up
the deeds Of his party, which had always
won ana secured the confidence OF the
business world, and then contrasted tao
lack OF confidence in the tear down policy
Of the opposition. which had resulted III
the panic of tie last three months. Mr.
Burgess closed his address in patriotic
strain by alludiug TO the loyalty OF the
Republican party, and was loudly cheered
upon taking his seat. The meeting adj
journed to meet again ia two weeks. when
it will be addressed by Mr. john d. Davis.
The Republican Candidates, Messrs.
Royse, Carvin and McAllister, were present
