CAPTURED BY MooNSHINERs.
Two Drummers Have an Experience I
the Mountains Of Kentucky.

tht VI htutucAys
Two drummers, ALI Hill of Chicago
and Tom johnson of Baltimore. decided
to take few days off and go fishing on
the Cumberland river near Harlan.
Things went smoothly while there. The
natives were hospitable and kind. But
they were not so fortunate on their re-
turn trip, as they missed the road and
became lost in the mountains. While
wandering hopelessly about they ran
into body of mountaineers. They
were promptly arrested, and after a CON
ference on the part of the mountain
people they We're blindfolded.

then blindfolded again and led from the
cave. After what seemed to them an
endless march the blinds were again re-
moved, and they We're told that they
were on the main road. They We're
also told that the fate of the informer
was death-to go and never return.
In the cave were several small stills

Speaking of the charge of murder
upon which Hugh O'Donnell was tried,

The Financial See-Saw.

1t seems that they are going to
issue United States bonds to buy gold
with in Europe For over year the
secretary of the treasury has been
trying with all his power to reduce
the amount of gold in the treasury.
He would even pay out gold to re-
deem silver certificates. such was
his anxiety to deplete the treasury
of gold. in order that there might be
an excuse to issue more bonds to -buy
gold with.
Let us see. They will sell five year
bonds in London and buy gold. When
the five years are up, the gold will
be sent across the ocean to pay bonds
with, and more bonds will be issued
to buy more gold, and so on.
This game OF financial see-saw is
fun and profit for the bankers but
death to the people who are bonded.
To cap the climax, the coinage Of
silver will be absolutely prohibited,
to add to the value of Shylock's gold
bearing bonds. Great God! How
long will this robbery of the people
be permitted to go on! Will the peo-
pie never learn that the two old
parties are alike playing into the
hands of the bondholders and bank
ers?-The Vanguard.

Vaults Full of silver.

The vaults of the United Statd
mint at Philadelphia now contaiI
the largest amount of bar silver evd
stored in one place in the United
States. The quantity is 10000, OO4
ounces. enough to make no less than
$50, O00,0 silver dollars. The vau1t-\
age OF the mint is said to be unex-|
celled in this country, yet the steel.
walled treasure holders are filled I'd.
Overlooking and the bullion is being
received from the government at the
rate of 3,S00,000 ounces a month.
Besides this amount, there are sealed
In the separate vaults $50. 900, 900 In
coined silver. The seal on the door
has not been broken for two years.
All the available storage space hav-
ing been utilized, it has been found
necessary to have another steel-lined
vault constructed for the sole purpose
of storing the bullion.
The new vault is about ten feet
from floor to ceiling, about eight feet
wide, and thirty-fve feet long. With
the silver piled clear up to the cell
ing, this new storage place will con-
tain but 20,000.O 600 ounces, and at the
present rate it will be filed in less
than six months. The construction
OF still another one of these i'm.
mense storage places for the silver is
an absolute necessity should the pur-
chase of silver continue.
This condition of affairs is far be-
yond all precedent in the history Of
the mint. Previous to 1890 it was q
rare event to have stored within the
walls OF the mint more than single
million ounces of bullion, There
was up to that time never dav

The New Nation: What is the
remedy do you ask for the clothing
trade sweat-shops? There is one
simple and plain one and only one
that will be effectual. 1t is that the
states should make public monopo-
ly of the manufacture of clothing and
have it carried on exclusively in pub
lie manufactures IN which the con-
dition of the workers should be de-
termined, not by irresponsible indi-
vidual greed. but public opinion oper-
ating through the law. Until the
various sentimental agitations against
sweating" adopt this program they
will accomplish nothing practical.

The trial and conviction Of Brother
Dempsey at Pittsburg, on the chargel
of poisoning the non-union labor at
Homestead, illustrates fairly how
strong the money power is entrenched
and to what ends they will go to in~
timidate and crush the spirit that Is
arising among the masses against
them. Fear is the sure ally of the
oppressor. If he can but gain that.
position that he can bring that into
play he is sure of gaining his ends.
Every person struggling to obtain the
necessities of life is Influenced more
or less in all his acts by fear of that
struggle being made more severe.
1t prevents many a tongue from
speaking in defense of Justice and
right, or in behalf of an oppressed
fellow. 1t makes many votes to be
cast in opposition to the conscience.
Many verdicts have been Influenced
by it in courts of law. A lucrative
position, credit and success in bust
ness have always great weight.
Given power over a man to regulate
that and you have control Of the av-
erage man. To make such impossible
should be the deepest and most
serious consideration of every lover
of humanity. Freedom cannot exist
where that power is possible. Not
an individual is safe while it exists.

The Age of Prophets.

For 400 years the human race has
not made step but what has left it's
vestige behind. We enter now upon
great centuries. The sixteenth CEN
fury will be known as the age of
painters, the seventeenth will be
termed the age of writers, the eigh-
teenth the age of philosophers, the
nineteenth the age of philosophers
and prophets. To satisfy the nine
teenth century it is necessary to be
the painter of the sixteenth, the
writer of the seventeenth, the phi
losopher of the eighteenth. and it is
also necessary, like Louis Blanc. to
have the innate and holy love of hu
mainly which constitutes an apostle
late, and opens up a prophetic vista
into the near future. In the TWEEN
tieth. war will be dead, the scaffold
will be dead, animosity will be dead,
royalty will be dead and dogmas will
be dead, but man will live. For all
there will be but one country-that
country the whole earth; for all
there will be but one hope-that hope
the whole heaven. Victor Hugo.
