BITS OF HISTORY.
Some Facts Relating to the Demcne-
tization of Silver.

Some Facts Relating to the Demene-
t!zation of Silver.
The repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law places silver sub
stantiallv on the same basis as the re-
publicans placed it by the act OF 1873.
1t is interesting TO review the history
of the controversy on this question
from the time Of republican demone-
tization, in 1878, and the time OF demo-
cratic demonetization, in 1893. II a
democrat ever wearied himself de-
nouncing the republicans for what he
called ''the crime of 1919" he recu-
perated his exhausted energies as soon
as possible and then continued his de.
nunciations. Some of these denuncia-
tory speeches are on record. And
they make mighty interestin'
readin' just now.
Mr.. Holman Of Injiany kicked the
stufin' out of the "crime" in the fol-
lowing very plain language:
Il have before me the record OF the
proceedings of this house on the pass
age of that measure, which no man
can read without being convinced that
the measure and the method OF lis
passage through this house was a co.
lossal swindle.' / assert that the
measure never had the sanction Of this
house, and it does not possess the
moral force of law."-Congressional
Record, vol 4, part 6, Forty-fourth
congress trst session appendix. page

The Washington Post of Dec. 20
says: "A scene almost pathetic in Its
nature occurred in the house yester-
day. Gen. Sickles, the New York rep
resentative, whose stirring and elo-
quent speech in behalf OF the old
soldiers occasioned such a demoDstra-
ton in the house during the pension
debate, is SO crippled by the wounds
received in the war that he is COM
PEELED to use a crutch. Yesterday,
whenever a vote demanded that he
should pass between tellers, he gath
cred his crutch under his arm and
manfully trudged down the aisle from
his seat to add one more to every
affirmative vote that might help in
passing legislation proposed for the
benefit Of his old comrades. Finally,
when he was physically exhausted,
another cali for 70 by tellers was
made. Approaching the veterans
condition, Representative 0'Neil Of
Massachusetts, picked. up the crutch
and holding it aloft, marched down
with it to the space in front of the
speakers desk and passed between the
tellers, Messrs Holman and Breckin-
ridge. The uplifted crutch spoke
louder than words, and it is needless
to say that it was counted"
The relation OF the story Of the
British herring curer who was for free

Wilson is in constant receipt of similar

FREE WOOL.

An Individual Opinion on the Bless
ings Thereof.
England admits wool free OF duty.
England has machinery to manu-
facture wool into cloth goods.
ElElands cloth mills give employ
ment to 100000 men, women and
children.
The manufactured cloth is exported
to all countries in christendom.
The manufactured cloth sells in the
United States cheaper than American
manufactured goods.
Why?
Some say because English work
men get less pay. That's lie.
American goods are undersold in
American markets, because:
The wool from which English goods
are made is admitted to England free
of duty.
If it wasn't admitted free of duty it
wouldn't go there.
And as natural result 100, 900 Eng
lish men, women and children would
not have work.
And he vessels bringing the wool
to English docks would not take back
English hardware to the wool produc-
ing countries. highlands hardware
trade gives employment, directly and
indirectly, to million persons.
So it is easily seen the free wool
pays England.
She deriv S an immense trade from it.
Suppose that the Mckinley prohiOi-
tivr duty is removed on wool.
What would the result be?
Why, every vessel in the South
Am, rican, Australian, Indian and
Egyptian wool trade would flock &c
our ports instead of England.
We would have twenty wooden mill;
on the Atlantic coast where we now
have one
We would become exporters O.
manufactured cloth instead of i'm
poriers that we are now.
The vessels from the republics O.
the south, from Australia, from Cairo
and from Southern AS would bring
"a k american hardware, American
machinery, and American products
generally, not forgetting American
civilization.
The wheels of industry would b,
kept in motion and there would b
n e of the poverty that we now hea
of.
So much for free wool
But if we get free raw material o
cry description the result will b
- much the bettar-and better for al
th ,,ple and not the few.

The long looked for tariff bill has

1t is so prepared that the people are

also is benefited. Everybody will

wants protection, wants it just as bad

Gratis representing manufacturing dis
tricts are about TO kick over the
traces, and are now speaking right
out in nesting
Among these is Mr.. Charles d. Haines
of Undertook, n. Y, who represents
the counties of Columbia and Rens-
selaer, in the latter of which is stu
ated the thriving manufacturing city
of Troy. Mr. Haines has been heard
to say:
IF the Wilson tariff bill is not
amended SO as to protect our great in
dustries, l believe that enough demo-
Gratis will join with the republicans
in opposing it to insure ito defeat"

Well, he told it up in Washington, and
Of course reporter got hold of it and

stating at the same time that Mr..
Hall was the largest farmer in the

ton of which $4,000 is appropriated,
seems to have had no charms for the
President, notwithstanding he de-
lights in bestowing offices as his per-
sonal prerogative. If the bill, how
ever, Simply authorized the coinage Of
the seigniorage and the creation of
monetary conference, Mr.. Cleveland
would undoubtedly have shared the
responsibility and divided honors with
Mr.. Voorhees,, but inasmuch as the
bill authorized, even in the dim and
uncertain future, the purchase of an
inconsiderable amount of silver, the
residents intense hostility to the
white metal rose again in his gorge,
and he plainly notifies the "cuekoos"
that the Voorhees, bill is not an ad-
ministration measure and is to be re-
pudiated accordingly.
At the recent meeting of the Bi-me-
tallic league, in Washington City, it
was decided that no effort should be
spared to elect free silver men to the
next congress. The money ques-
ton, it was decided, was to be
the paramount issue and the
following pledge is to be taken by
each candidate before he can expect
the votes Of free silver men:
THAT they will enter in no party
caucus that will bind or restrain them
from voting in the Fifty-fourth con-
gress, otherwise as given in their
pledges to the people before their cleo
ton, but that they will unite with
others who are in favor of the restora.

without the intervention of banks, and
against the issue of bonds to buy gold,
and that they will act and vote on all
matters during their term as members
of the Fifty-fourth congress to secure
