Silyerized Historical "Reminiscences,

The Parkersburg Sentinel gives
the best brief history of the silver
Legislation of recent years that we
have yet seen. 1t is an article well
worth perusal and to be fixed in The
memory. Here it Isl
Silver was the money of this coun-
try from the first confederation to
1873, when under the manipulation
of John Sherman it was demonetized
by piece of legislation as infamous
as it was cowardy and secret. When
the voters were brought face to face
with the fact that silver had been
driven from the realm of money
Congress was Immediately chosen
that restored silver to the money of
the country, under the Bland Allison
act, and gave it full legal tender
quality. That act continued on the
statute books from 1880 to 1890 when
in the latter year, to escape absolute
free coinage the Sherman law was
agreed to.
The excuses offered for the present
decentralization of silver are for one,
that England wants it and demands
it, and the present Congress is sub
servient enough to obey the behest.
But of course such pretense is fic-
tion of base degree. Another reason
given is that silver is running the
country, stagnating business, breed
ing financial distress and entailing
ruin upon all classes of trade from
the greatest to the smallest.
The Bland law which restores linn
tied coinage of silver and made the
silver dollar full legal tender was
enacted in 1880, and was not amend
ed or repealed till 1890. Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected president in 1884,
and served four years. During every
minute of that term the silver was
being coined at our minis and it cir
culated as full legal tender for all
debts. The four years from 1885 to
1889, of Mr.. Cleveland's presidency
are known to every one to have been
years of almost unexampled prospect
ty throughout the land Business
was prosperous; an era of unprece-
dented development was upon us;
money was reasonably plentiful and
moved freely; gold flowed into the
Golfers of the government at sur
prising rate; the income of the gov
eminent was one hundred millions
year greater than the expenditures
the surplus in the treasury grew to
an alarming extent; the free gold
in the treasury vault exceeded the
requirements of law by about $780,
100000. Such was the excessively
prosperous condition of the country
under the Bland silver law that Mr..
Cleveland felt impelled to call upon
Congress to take such action as
would be necessary, by the reduction
of taxes, to stop the rapid and need
less accumulation in the treasury.
Such was the condition of things un-
der silver legal tender law. Every
one knows it. And in the campaigns
of 1888 and of 1892 the prosperous
condition of the country and it's
plethoric treasury from 'S5 to 'S9
were the cry and boast Of the demo
cratic speakers.
In 1890 the Sherman law and the
Mckinley bill supplanted the former
laws regarding silver and the tariff,
and from the moment of their enact
ment the country began tumbling,
and has been going from bad to worse
till the present calamitous times have
been reached.

Cant Stop Business.

The Pittsburg Dispatch Of q late
date says:-The great body of Amer
lean people cannot be idle. They
must prepare the ground, sow and
reap that they may get something
to eat Our commerce and indus
tries cannot remain representation
for any appreciable period. The
spirit of commerce aud OF speeula-
ton must assert itself Toreor bred
OF apprehension must be shaken off:
it must not be permitted to burden
the great energies of mighty nation
like an Old Man of the Sea. Dan
gers happily passed must not be re
called; forebodiDgs based upon the
uncertainties the situation through
out Europe presents or those discern
ted to interfere with the wheels of
trade. The merchant prince and the
mechanic, employer and employe
cannot afford to pause-the wheels
must revolye; they must prepare and
transport all the Decessaries of life,
from the fuel the cook employs to
the costliest garments the ultra fash
ionable deem essential TO life. Com
merce can't be quit of the risks each
each year brings From the man
who invests a dollar and a quarter
in Government land to the banker
who loans on two name paper, back
ed up with ''giltedged" collateral, ali
assume risks. 1t is impossible to
eliminate hazard.
1t is impossible for anybody in
volved in the complex thing we call
business to stop. This being the
case, torpor cannot weigh long upon
the magnificent energies of the great
Yankee nation.
These are words of wisdom, and
If all will so far appreciate them as
to act upon them the country will
soon return TO its normal condition
of business prosperity. Already the
banks are filing up with money and
renewing their loans. Prices are
tending upward, business is begin
ming to revive in very remarkable
degree, and more hopeful and con
fident tone to pervade all classes
This is not so much to be attributed
to any pending or prospective legis
lation on silver coinage, or any finan
cial legislation at Washington, bu
the inherent possibility of Ions
suppressing the energies of our peo
pie which must and will have I
speedy outlet to their Astounding
energy and hopeful ambition. Al
an evidence of this returning conf
dence and reviving trade we may
mention the fact that the Victo
Mills people are buying and selling
more hay, grain and feed, -four ant
meal than ever before in the histor,
and their trade, and at lower price,
and doing this business upon casl
basis, which they have found is boil
better for them and their customers
1t will not be long ill the bulk of al
trade will be reduced to cash basi
or so short credit as to be practic
ally for cash. The man who allure
you into buying on credit, has
large margin of profit on his sales l.

CHICO SHOWS HIS TEMPER
The Gorilla That Was Recently in Nor
gantown With Barnum & Bailcy's
Show Nearly Kills Man.

From The New York sun.
Chico, the giant gorilla of the Bar
mum 4 Bailey show, took up his win
ter quarters at the arsenal in Central
park yesterday. The big fellow was
in a very bad humor and his transfer
from one cage to the ether was attend
ed with considerable difficulty and ex-
element. He made furious attack
upon one of the circus men, who had
narrow escape, and he was only
frightened into submission when Juno,
one of the largest elephants in the
park menagerie, was brought into
play as a bugbear Chico is said to
be the largest gorilla in captivity, and
is the only one in this country. He
is five feet seven inches tall and
weighs nearly one hundred and sixty
pounds. His reach is over nine feet.
He was captured in the island OF Pa.
qua eight years ago, and is thought
To be about eleven years old.
He arrived in Jersey City early yes
terday morning in special cage, and
was Immediately driven to Central
park. 1t was found impossible to
transfer him directly from the cage,
TO his cosy quarters on the second
floor of the arsenal, and he was taken
to a stable on Sixty-third street. A
large box was placed at the entrance
of the cage and Antonio Marques
his Portuguese keeper, made an effort
to drive the gorilla into it. The saw
age brute was in high state Of ex
citment, owing to the noise of tn,
crowd about him, and refused to en-
ter the box. He tore around his Gag,
and finally threw himself against it,
bars with such force as to spring on,
of them out Of position and shattel
the glass at the rear of the wagon
With almost human sagacity he ther
tried to pry out the bars on each sid,
of the bent one and effect his escape
The crowd scattered in all directions
and for few moments there was
scene of wild confusion.
Felix Mcdonald, superintendent o
Barnum & Bailey's managerie, wa
standing near the cage trying to pac
| ify the beast, when he suddenly thrus
his long arms between the bars ano
seized Mcdonald arond the waist
lifting him from the ground. TIL
man shouted for help, and while
Keeper Marques prodded the gorilla
with pole, another keeper secured I
knife and cut McDonald's coat dowI
the back Mcdonald slipped out o
his coat and Chico retired 10 the cor
ner of his cage, chewing viciously a
the remnants of the garment,
Assistant Superintendent Burns, o
the park managerie, had meanwhil
sent for Juno. When the elephan
arrived she was led close to the Gag
and the gorilla shrunk into corne
and shrieked with terror. 1t was du
chiefly to the elephants awe-inspir
ing presence that the gorilla was fin
ally driven into the box. Chico wa
turned into his cage at the arsenal a
$50 O'Clock p. m.
The cage is about 20xl0 feet in siz
and is divided into two compartments
The floor is covered with heavy gree
carpet and to-day a table. and chat

to take exercise ON when so inclined
