The Boston Herald is very much
grieved because Speaker Crisp has ap-
pointed Mr. Bland to the head of the coin
age committee, and packed it with sill
verite majority. But why should the
Herald be grieved because in forming a
committee the Speaker has formed it in
accordance with the sentiment of the
majority of the party? Isn't it the bust
ness of the Speaker to make up the COM
mittees so as to fairly represent the ma
jority? All the votes in the past two
Congresses have shown that majority
of the Democratic members were in favor
of the free coinage of silver, and there is
every indication that vote in the pres
emit one will show the same thing. That
being the case why shouldn't Mr.. Bland
be at the head of the coinage committee,
and why shouldn't majority of that
committee be composed of men in favor
of free coinage? The majority of the
Democrats are pledged by their platform
to annihilate the protective policy, and

Since Mayor Matthews of Boston infor-
med the Democratic committee of Mass
achusetts that the gubernatorial nomina-
ton had no attraction for him, candi-
dates have been rather backward in COM
ing forward, and the Boston Post con-
trasts this reluctance with the "scram-
BILE" that it alleges is going on for the
Republican nomination to the disad-
vantage of the latter. There is quite a
difference, however, between nomina-
tion which is certain of defeat and one
which is practically sure to be followed
by success, and this difference undoubt-
eddy explains the different attitudes of
the aspiring gentlemen of the two par
ties

The Treasurer Responsible.

The Treasurer of the United States is
personally responsible for all this wealth,
which must, of course, be counted every
time there is a change in the office, for
the new man must receipt to his prede-
cessor for every cent that has been turned
over to him. Treasurer Morgan, the new
incum bent, may neversshave seen any of
this immense sum that has been turned
over to him, and he has to take the word
of others as to the accuracy of the count.
In this he is quite safe, however, for
the work is done by men who know how
to do it, and there is as much chance OF
the money walking away of its own ac-
cord as there is of any ones being able
to take any of it for his own use Uncle
Sans treasure is well guarded, and the
place where it is stored comes pretty
near to being place where neither moth
nor rust can corrupt and where thieves
cannot break through and steal.
In the largest vault, huge room, 80
by 81 feet, and 10 feet high, money is
stored up all round, with only narrow
passageways between the piles. Each
pile of dollars is in itself in a separate
safe, surrounded as it is with lattice
work of heavy iron bars. The walls
OF each pile are built up with boxes of
silver dollars, and inside these walls the
money is piled in canvass bags, for these
take up less room than the boxes, very
important reason, as there is always the
question how to supply enough room
for all the money The figures that go
with all this wealth are of themselves
interesting.
The Portland daily press., 1893-08-23

acting upon that fact Speaker Crisp re-
fuses to appoint Mr.. Springer to the head
of the Ways and Means committee, whose
business it is to formulate tariff meas
ures, and substitutes Mr.. Wilson because
the latter is more closely in accord with
the views of the majority. The Boston
Herald approves of this But why should
it approve of Difference to the views of
the majority in one case and condemn it
in another?
The Portland daily press., 1893-08-23

We believe that it is not seriously con-
tended that any of the Maine senators or
representatives will vote otherwise than
for the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law. Indeed it is admit
ted everywhere that all of them will vote
that way. The same is the case with
all the New England senators and repre-
sentatives The only man who has been
suspected of an intention to vote other
wise is Senator Chandler of New Hamp-
shire, and he has recently put himself
on record in favor of repeal in way that
admits of no doubt of his purpose. This
being the case the calling of mass meet
ings or board of trade meetings to en-
courage, or advise or instruct our con-
gressmen to support the President would
seem to be work of supererogation.
The Board of Trade have already ex-
pressed their views on the silver question,
and those views are identical with the
opinions held by the Maine senators and
representatives. There would be no par
ticular harm in repeating them, nor would
there be any good.

sung. The meaning Of the words OF their
song was wholly of kindness, love and sym
pathy-a portion translates as follows:
1.-THE Kickapoos bring you health"
ssTheir hearts full of pity for you.
s'Have hope for the great spirit
ssHas given that which we offer you.H
at will make you well and happy.n
1t was with the feelings expressed by
these words that they offered the Kickapoo
Indian Remedies to the white people. That
the offer was appreciated, and that the
remedies have done great good is evil
denced by large sale all over the cont1-
nent. and their remedies are now found on
the shelves of every druggist in the land.
Its seasonable use has prevented serious
sickness in thousands of cases.
Disease cannot existin its presence.
Best of all it is simple compound OF
roots, barks and herbs, about which the
Indian has more knowledge than any liv-
ing botanist or physician.
Remember, too. that "kickapoo" Reme-
dies are genuine Indian preparations. In
dams gather the herbs and prepare them
for shipment. Indians receive them at
the Laboratory. indians steep them for
the medicine and Indians put up the fin
ished product. From first to last they are
true medicines of the red man.

Blood and Stomach Renovater, and other Kick
spoo Indian Remedies are Sold by all Druggists.

Now that Holman is deposed what shall
we do for a watch dog of the treasury?

Senator Voorhees, conversion to the
cause of sound money is one of the most
remarkable turnovers in modern times.
He has always been one of the most
blatant of the silvermen, and he has al
ways shouted for free silver as being for
the interest of the dear people. After
his conversion it lis not unreasonable to
hope that some of the representatives
from the silver States may see new
light.
The Portland daily press., 1893-08-23

While Springer gets good deal of SYM
pathy in his humiliation by Speaker
Crisp, Director Holman gets none what
ever. Springer is personally popular, but
Holman has earned the general dislike
that generally falls to the lot of a watch
dog that barks Unfortunately at every
body. The task of standing between the
Treasury and two or three hundred con-
gressmen, all anxious to get appropria-
tions for their constituents is a thankless
task at best, and the man that under
takes it is not likely to be popular. But
while Holmn stood between the treasury
and other congressman he generally man.
aged SO that his own constituents got all
they wanted. Holman's economy began
away from home and kept away. His
economy was garnished with sefshness
and this added to his unpopularity.

Some Interesting Figures,

The total coinage of silver dollars under
the Bland act of 1878 was 1889, 936, 374
The total coinage under the act of July
IA, 1890, known as the Sherman act, has
amounted to 80, 455, 606.
There are Salts, 900 silver dollars in
circulation
More than all of the silver owned by
the United States is stored in this city.
Al the mints and assay offices there is
SS1 % 231. 900 worth of bar silver. Alto
gether there is 1881, 000 600 in standard
Silver dollars. There is $12, 1853, 900 in frac-
tional currency. Up to the time of the
stringency in the money market about
fifty millions was redeemed IN gold, and
only about half million in silver, but
since currency has become scarce, there
has been a large demand for silver to
pay off hands in factories and other
places where there are large pay rolls.
The silver that is stored in the Treas
ury was moved here from the sub-treas-
uries, which were overcrowded. Silver
is moved about through the medium of
the express companies. 1t is handed over
to them in double bags, and as it is
carried at the risk of the companies, they
care for it as they see fit when it is en-
route. Fractional silver in small amounts
is usually sent in small kegs. NO. money
is being coined now except from uncur-
rent silver, which is being recoined into
the present styles of coinage.
Been Buying Silver Since 1878.
The United States has been buy-
ing silver ever since ISIS, when the
Bland law went into effect Until
the Sherman law went into operation
