monometaiiists OF Europe knew that

age Of gold and silver Mt fair ratio 10
would settle the question for the
world, and hence their interest and
determination To prevent it. IL was
not only serious question for the
United States. but the oppressed peo-
pie Of the old world appealed 10 this
country to settle the question for them
and for the whole world.
The money requirements of the
United States, with the vast wealth,
industry and energy of its people,
were equal To those Of England, France
and Germany combined. and the whole
civilized world would have To look to
this country for its future monetary
supply. And yet, he said, with vehe.
mence, we are asked here to-day to Law
the bloody hand Of confscation ON
millions OF our population in order to
satisfy the greed of England. Will
congress do il? Will you trample down
the interests of your own people and
destroy the value Of one of the pre-
cious metals simply to crafty tho

A NOTE OF WARNING.
Speaking for the mass of the people
of the Mississippi valley and OF the
people west of it, ] say you shall not
do it, [Renewed applause And any
body, or any party that undertakes to
do it will. in Gods name, be trampled
down as it ought to be--in the dust Of
condemnation now and in the future.
Continued applause on the floor and
in the galleries.
] speak as democrat, but yet as an
American above democracy. [Cheers.
We do not intend that any party shall
survive, il we can help it, that will lay
its confiscating hand on Amer
lea, in the interest of En-
gland or of Europe. That may
be strong language; but, in speaking
to you of the eastern democracy. we
will bid you farewell when you do it.
Applause Now, you can take your
choice of sustaining America against
England, of sustaining American in
dustries and American Ia borers against
English industries and English labor
ers, or Of our going apart. We have
come to the parting way. do not pre-
tend to speak for anybody but my con-
stituents; but / believe that ! can
speak for the masses of the great Mis-
sissippi valley when say that we will
not submit To the domination of any
political party however much we love

try.
BUREAUCRATIC AND UNAMERICAN.
For myself, will not support such a
party here or elsewhere: but will de-
nounce IL as undemocratic and un-
American, and the democrats engaged
in it will ask the people Of the country
to condemn as the agents and tools
no, / will withdraw that epithet-as
the representatives of the moneyed
power and moneyed interests, instead
as of representatives Of the American
people. You can not hold the demo-
cratic party together on that line.
Applause.
In closing his argument (which he
said he was entirely without prepara-
ton for) Mr.. Bland declared that the
time had come to decide whether or
not the country was to go to bimetal-
lism. He thought it the duty
of the house Especially Of his demo-
cratic associates) to settler the money
question at once and to settle IL at
once on the democratic lines. 1t would
not do to demonctize silver and then to
undertake to restore it afterwards.
There was time enough now to arrange
it according to the principals of BIZ
metallism. and in a manner conforma-
bly, to the promises of the democratic
party. IL. he said in conclusion. adj
dressing his words particularly to east
ern democrats, you do not do it, yours
Is the responsibility. NOT cars. Jap
plause.
-Alligators' nests resemble hay
cocks more than anything else to
which they can be compared. They
average about four feet in height and
about five feet in diameter, and are
constructed of grasses and heritage.
First the mother gator deposits one
layer OF eggs on . mortor-lilxe floor.
and, having covered this with STRAIT
um of mud and heritage about eight
inches thick, lays another set Of eggs
upon that. and 80 on to the top, there
being commonly from one hundred to
two hundred eggs in . nest. With
their tails the parents then beat down
the tall grass and weeds to prevent
the approach of unseen enemies. The
female watches her eggs until they ara
Matched by the heat of the sun. and
then takes her brood under her own
care, defending them and providing
for their subsistence.
A new kind Of paint Is announced,
which, IL is claimed, possesses in Pc
culiar degree the properties Of preserv-
ing metal from rust, and is unaffected
by either heat or cold. When applied
to sheet iron II is found that the coat

steam, nor is it at all influenced by tho
action Of acids and alkaline liquids,
gas, hydrochloric acid gas,
and sulphurettcd hydrogen gas. The
