THE HISTORY OF
A Financial CRIME,

"rhe coinage act OF 1873. unaceom-
panied by any written report upon the
subject from any committee, and I'M
known to the members of congress. who,
without opposition, allowed IL 10 pass I'M
der the belief, " not assurance, that II
made no alteration IN the value OF the
current coins, changed the unit Of value
from silver 10 gold. Mr. Burchard OF
Illinois, In Congress slonal Record, July
H. 1916, page 5Sl,
II have before me the record of the
proceedings OF this house on the passage
Of thar measure which no man can read
without being convinced that the measure
the house was colossal swindlc, ami
and the methoi Of its passage through
assert that the measure never had the
sanction OF the house. and IL docs not
possess the moral force Of law. Mr..
Holman Of Indiana, IN Congressional
Record, vol. 3. part Z, 4tth conglrss, lst
seseion appendix. page 1888
A number OF other senators aud repre-
Bcntativcs who were IN congress when
that bill was passed have denied. in
their places IN congress sAAt they know
u demonetizcd the standard silver dollar.
And President Grant. who approved that
bill and made il Cav. did not know
that 1t demonc;ized the silver dollar, as
was shown by two papers, not now be
fore me, written by him about year
after the passage Of the law.
Subsequent Investigation has shown
how Il happened that measure Of so
much Importance AS tho act Of 1878
passed. the house and senate without the
knowledge OF many members of both
those bodies. This Ia better shown by
the following extfRct ffum the speech Of
the Hon. Newton @, Blanchard Of Louis

Curious Newspaner Beats.

One of the biggest newspaper "beats"
in 20 years was achieved by La
Nacion, little newspaper published in
the Argentine Republic. This news
paper published the news of the accident
20 the Victor a day ahead of every
other paper in the world, and the news
OF the disaster was known in Buenos
Ayres before it was in London. The
dispatch to the British government an
nouucing the disaster lay - hours
unopened in the admiralty Office. Mean
while the news had been stolen off the
wires and sent by friend of the Argen-
tine paper to La Nacion, which was
able TO publish it in advance of all its
contemporaries. Such at any rate is
the story OF the beat" as it is related
here IN newspaper row. 1t is safe to
say that any Ct the leading American
newspapers would have given thousands
Of dollars to have obtained exclusive
intelligence of the Victoria disaster, en-
abling it to heat the world with the
news. La NaCion's beat" seems to
have been case not of enterprise, but
Of good luck.-New York Letter.
