The First Mockingbird.

II
Time was he would not. sing, though
fiedged aud flown;
1t song dwelt with him, such he
seemed to hoard.
For while the birds sang till the
world adored,
He perched apart mute, listening,
alone.
Then, of his silence all impatient
grown,
Love marveled that the sunlight like
Did slay him not. But in his soul
was stored
A sweeter song than Love had ever
known.
And when Days merry choirsters were
gone
And Night dreamed in the valleys
sweet and still,
Sudden a glad lark heralded the
dawn,
And piped robin to a whip-poor-
will;
And Love-while clear the silver notes
we're ringing,
Listened entranced. The
Mocking bird was singing!

Senator Faulkner ExpIaIns.
His .SaUer amendment is Not a Nea0
idea, but is Based upon the Sue
cessfully Conducted French

WASHINGTON, September 15.-Sen-
ator Fla Ilkner makes the following
explanation in support of his amend
ment to the repeal bill:
.'The amendment submitted by me
is not a new idea in finance, but is
based upon the successful working of
the French System. France to-day,
with a population of only half that of
the United States, and much inferior
in her internal commerce aud bust
ness enterprise, maintains without
difficulty, and at ratio of fifteen
and one-half to one, S750, 00O,0 600 of
silver on full parity with gold.
1.-THE limit of my amendment, in
Guiding subsidiary silver and stand
ard dollars, is $500, OOO,O 900. 1t pro-
vides, first, for the coinage of the
bullion now in the treasury, which,
at its coinage value would amount TO
STA 900, 900, at the rate of 5000,
600 per month, and authorizes the
purchase, at, market price of bullion
(say 75c per ouncs) of 1850, 900
ounces per month. This bullion is
not TO be coined until after the bull
lion now i'll the treasury is coined,
unless, in the opinion of the Secre-
tary of the treasury, the business
demands of the country require it
in which case he is authorized to coin
it into quarters, halves, or standard
dollars,
"But after all the bullion now in
the treasury is coined, the amend.
Mt II
7,000,0 900 dollars monthly of tile sill
yer purchased under the amendment
until the aggregate silver coinage,
including subsidiary coin and stan.
dard, shall aggregate $500, 100000.
The amount of silver bullion that
would be ultimately purchased under
this amendment may be briefly shown
as follows:
1--WE have now 419, 1892, 900 stand
arti dollars and SIT, GOO, 900 of sub,
: siCHHry coin, aggregating S496, 1872,
90, to which must be added the
coinage vnl':e of the silver bullion
now in the treasury, amounting to
STA 900, 600, aggregating $3.50, 332 :
600, leaving $3.50, 600, 900 less silver
coinage than the requirements of the
amendment or the purchase of about
1O0,0 900 ounces of silver, which
purchase would extend over u period
of more than five years.
The retirement of the silver certif-
icates and treasury notes issued in
payment for the bullion purchased
under the act of July Il, 1890, and
national bank notes under O,would
not only bring the entire silver coin
age into active circulation, but would
also bring into active circulation our
50. 30 and So gold pieces.

Senator Faulkner gives the fol-
lowing as his explanation of the
money trouble: "WhiIe he does not
believe that this act caused the con-

to-day, still he is sensible of the fact
that influences have been put in OPP
Grafton TO induce the people to be-
lieve that its repeal will restore con-

country is, in its condition, simply a
hypochondriac, and as no Legislative

condition, the only hope for a full

that is in him for cure"
