The Secretary Replies to a Query from til
Senate Regarding Silver.

Inc Secretary Replies to q Query from the
Senate Regarding Silver.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. - Secretary
Carlisle sent to the senate reply to
resolution asking him to inform the
senate, as approximately accurately
az practica BILE. of the number of coined
standard silver dollars of our mint
age under the laws of 1873 and 1890,
exported and imported since February
%, 1873; the number of such dollars re-
coined in our mints and the number
consumed in the United States indus
trial uses; the amount of gold taking
the same course since 1870, and whether
the amount of excess, if any, of
such exports over imports and the
amount recoined and that used in in
dustrial arts have been taken into ac-
count and deducted from the total
-c.ge in the estimates of such coins
in existence in this country.
The secretary says that the number
of silver dollars coined under these laws
exported and imported is not known,
as returns of domestic coins exported
or imported are not entered at the GUS
tom houses by denominations. The
number of dollars coined under these
laws deposited at the mint for recoin-
age has been 132,O1a
No estimate has been made of the
dollars coined under these laws which
were used in the industrial arts, but it
is believed that the number is very
small, as SO much more bullion can be
purchased for dollar than it con tains
and bullion would be used in lieu Of
coin whenever it was practicable to OBJ
tain it.
The amount of United States gold
coin exported from January. 1870, t5
October, 1898, was es71, sSi,77O. The
amount OF United States gold coin i'm
ported from January /, 1878, to October
1, 1898, was 1926, ,943, SS5 Prior
to January, 1878, the imports of
United States gold coin were not sepa-
rated in the custom house returns from
foreign gold coin.
The amount of gold consumed in the
industrial arts from 1878 to 1898, as esti-
mated by the mint bureau, was sSs,-
375, ,O0O
In estimating tho amount of silver
dollars coined since February %, 1878,
III the country, no deductions Have
been made either fer exports or for
use in the industrial arts in the
United States, nor has there been any
allowance for re-coinage, as it has here
tofore been believed that the number
OF silver dollars re-coined in 1878 and
prior years in circulation exceeded the
amount of silver dollars coined since
1878 exported, re-coined and used IN the
industrial arts.
In estimating the stock of gold coin
In the country, the amount exported
and recoined, as well as the ar.ount
estimated as used in the industrial arts
of the United States, is deducted from
the last estimate, while the amount
composed and coined is added.

Lord Burton's magnificent twenty
pointer deer, killed recently in Glen
quoich forest, proves to have been an
unusual one in several particulars
The stag, which is not at all remarka BILE
for its size of body in proportion to its
massive head, was shot through the
back at distance of 300 yards, and it
is said that this is the only known in
stance of a twenty-pointer having ever
been killed in a Scotch forest One
eighteen-pointer killed in 1890 comes
the nearest. Lord Burton's trophy has
ten perfectly developed tines on each
of its magnificent brow antlers and the
top of each horn forms a massive clus-
ter of seven palmated tines, each point
matching in every detail with the cor
responding one opposite. 1t is seldom
that such magnificent antlers are found
nowadays.-London Telegraph.

HONEST MONEY.

Gold, silver and Paper Each and All Pos
sessed Of Etsusi Money Attributes and
Powers
When ex-senator Allan @. Thurman
declared for the free coinage OF silver
and charged that the gold-buSs had
captured the president and the ma jor-
ity of congress, the New York papers
referred sneeringly to Mr.. Thurman
and said no better could be expected
OF man who ''took up with the :yraen-
back craze in 1875" Now let it be re-
meubered that Mr.. Thurman was on
the presidential ticket with Cleve-
land in 1883 as vice president. The
gold-bugs controlled that conven-
ton at Chicago in 1892. The
men who now sneer at him for being a
sreenbacker in 1875 nominated and adj
nominated SteveHscr, another green
bacl1er, in 1892. And yet they hate
greenbackers. Why is this? Thec did
it simply to catch votes of the people to
support gold-bug president. Mr.. Ste
yenson does not dare to-day open his
fi:6utl in advocacy of his honest
convictions, or he, too; will be sneered
at as greenbacl<er by The gold-bngs,
the men who used him as a t0of 10 de-
ceive The Feople. The people are catch-
ing on to this kid of deception and
will not be fooled by it any longer.
In this connection we wish to say
that any man who will study and COM
prehend our present financial system
will see how unjust and destructive it
is and how the present conditions are
produced by it: then If he will go and
study ous what a just and scientific
financial SYSTEM is he will be a green
hacker at heart. And if he is a man
...hH has the courage of his convictions;
if he is noS t,,,der the influence of the
gold-bug power either directly or indi-
rectly; if he is not candidate Tor office,
hoping to get it through the favor
and help of monopolies; if he is not
pandering for the boot-licking So
cial favor of certain set. that
man will be a pronounced greenb-.cl<er
"a man who believes that neither
gold-bugs, nor silver bags. nor national
bankers should control the volume and
distribution of money, but that every
dollar, whether gold, silver or paper,
shall be issued and controlled by the
people CnrOuSn congress-, "'' eNoiy
dollar shall stand on its own bottom
and be as good as any other dollar
Who is opposed to this? We challenge
any newspaper to a disproval OF the
.art that this would be a just and hoIi'

er believing differently TO public dis
cussion of the question. n.-GoldsSSreugh

To Reform Editors.

There will be a desperate attempt
made in the senate to fix up a compro-
mise which shall include a small
coinage OF silver and an issue of bonds
to increase the gold reserve in the
treasury. Open all your batteries on
this plan of increasing the gold re-
serve 1t is one of the foulest schemes
ever concocted Every dollar put in
the reserve is a contraction of the cur
rency. 1t does not mend matters if the
law prescribes that the 1900, 900, =
600 of bonds shall be sold in Europe.
Not dollar of gold will come from
Europe. They. will be paid for
in exchange, and the $500, 600. 900
will be taken out of the
money in circulation in this country
and locked up in the vaults of the
treasury, where for any good it will
do, it might as well be et the bottom
of the sea To contract our currency
in this way means the foreclosure OF
every mortgage, further decline in
prices and the transfer of most OF the
remaining half of the property in this
country to the $4,000 men who have
already captured the other half. The
order is to open fire all siong the line,

MoNTEvIDEO, Oct 25.-News comes
from Rio Janeiro, Brazil, that Frederi-

claimed provisional president of Brazil
by Adm. Mello, in command of the in
surgent fleet Lorena is the captain of
one of the rebel war-ships, and

state of South Catharina and is stu

lies just off the Atlantic coast of Brazil,
about AGO miles south of Rio. When
this island fell into the hands of Mello

GOURKO DEAD.

A Russian General, Famous In the Late
War with Turkey, Goes to His Reward.
LONDON, Oct ga dispatch from,
Cracow says that a local paper there
reports the death of Gen. Gourko, gov
ernor of Warsaw.
Gen. Joseph Gourko was the fore
most of the czar's generals, without
any possible competitor, and had he
lived and Russia become involved in a
struggle with any other nation the
mighty armed forces of the
czar would have been in his
hands, though the czar or one
of his numerous grand dukes would
probably have assumed nominal COM
mand. He succeeded Dragomiroff, the
Russian Moltke," at Warsaw. His
first and last campaign was the Turk
ish war. and thus his reputation as a
soldier was made in less than six
months of active service. OF the gen.
erals who served with distinction in
that campaign he was the only sur

Last week the What-there-are-leI
democrats held their convention to
nominate candidates for the state cleo
ton in November. The contest was
between the gold-bGg democrats led by
Mr.. Cleveland's secretary OF aSricult-
ure, J. Sterling Morton, and the free
silver democrats led by Congressman
Bryan Morton had two-thirds OF the
delegates and Bryan one-t third. Morton
telegraphed Cleveland that he had ''sat
down heavy on Bryan, and the reso-
lutions were of the most ultra gold
standard kind. AS result Bryan has
done the only thing left for him to do.
He has denounced the resolutions, re-
nouneed that kind of democracy and
will east his future with the populists.
This is sure to take at least 10000 OF
the 25. 900 votes cast last November for
Cleveland over to the populist camp.
There is also the utmost disgust among
the republicans over the situation and
| thousands are leaving that party.
From the present outlook the populist
| vote in November will not be less than
| 100, 900, and the administration demo-
Gratis will be practically wiped out, and
next fall the entire congressional dele
cation viii be populist -Noncon-
| formist.

trial and to give $4,000 bond to not
engage in the liquor business All this
