If we are not to dispose of our valuable
silver crop at highest price, which is that
of gold, it would be far better for the
United States to discard both gold and
silver as legal tender money and adopt an
entire paper legal tender money. And i'll
order to handle and distribute the money
at the minimum cost to the people the
government should establish its own
banks of deposit, loan and discount. Then
we would have money of the people, for
the people and controlled by the people.
This we never can have under present
monetary conditions.
But it will be urged that the minis have
not the capacity to coin all the bullion
that would be poured into them, and the
be coined would serve to keep the price of
bullion below coin value. There are piled
in the vaults of the government $780,
600, 900 coined silver, this useless hoard
could be drawn upon in exchange for
bullion, in the event of the passage of a
free coinage law, and the now idle coin
would find its way into circulation, while
the bullion which occupied its place
would stand security for the silver GER
tifcates which are SUPPOSEDLY fiction
the people purpose demanding silver
dollars in exchange for. Thus we see
the way is open for free coinage, and
the stream of coined silver to at once be
set flowing into the financial channel to
revive perishing business, as the waters OF
the Nile pouring down from the cloud
desert to blossom as the rose.

The Strike.

1t is needless for us to rehearse
the incidents of the great strike.
Every day the details have been re-
corded and everybody made ac-
quainted with the progress of this
unarmed war. The strike whether
won or lost is a failure. All strikes
are virtual failures. They secure
no strategic advantages. They
leave conditions as they are and
conditions create similar results in
! the future.
The present strike differs from
all former strikes. 1t is declared
to be war or rebellion of labor
against the domineering spirit of
monopoly. The people have been
slowly and painfully awakening to
the fact that the government of the
United States has quietly passed
from the people into the hands of
a plutocracy, and in place of a
popular government they are under
the gilded heel of corporation and
a money Oligarchy. Strikes will
not mend the matter or restore the
people to their heritage. They
arouse like a fire ball in the night
awakening slumbering people to
enquire what is the danger and its
cause. There is but one remedy
for the danger, which the people
are beginning to more fully compre-
bend than ever before. The remedy
is votes! Let the labor class choose
the best men in their own ranks to
represent and make laws in their
behalf for congressman and legisla-
tors. This is the straight, noiseless,
sure way and only road to success
and solution of the "labor
troubles.n

Last June Dick Crawford brought his
twelve-months-old child, suffering from
infantile diarrhoea, to me. 1t had been
weaned at four months old and had al
ways been sickly. I gave it the usual
treatment in such cases but without bene-
fit. The child kept growing thinner
until it weighed but little more than
when born, or perhaps ten pounds. I
then started the father to giving Cham
berlains Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Before one bottle of the rs
cent size had been used marked im=
proyement was seen and Its continued
use cured the child. Its weakness and
puny constitution disappeared and its
father and myself believe the child's life
was saved by this remedy. J. T. NARROW,

Any word said in favor of the
people in the senate is Immediately
pronounced "anarchistic" and the
echo is taken up by the corporation
press and sounded throughout the
country. Now let the ''anarchistic'
people take up their own defense
and put ballots in the ballot box
that will send representatives to
congress who will speak and legis-
late in their interest, and send the
plutocratic agents now filling con
gressiOnal seats to the solitude of
private life.

Samuel Leavitt, whose recently
published work, "Our Money
Wars" has created considerable
discussion, contributes to the July
Arena valuable study in compare
tive statistical literature, entitled
'lndia Silver, Wheat and Cotton. y
Mr.. Leavitt writes from bimetal-
lie point of view, and he makes out
a strong case, showing the sympathy
between the depression of silver ii.
e. the rise of gold) and the prices
of wheat and cotton. 1t is worth
while for American gold bugs to
read this opinion of an eminent
English authority. Sir Robert N.
Fowler, the London banker, said at
the meeting of the British and
Colonial Chambers of Commerce in
1886: "'The effect of the deprecia-
ton of silver must finally be the
ruin of the wheat and cotton indus
tries of America and the develop
ment of India as the chief wheat
and cotton exporter of the world
To that same board I. G. Fielden
testified that "wheat-all wheat
would be worth 200 to 81. 80 per
quarter more than it is were silver
at par" This is paper for all
thoughtful Americans who are pro-
ducers and not money leaders to
study.
The Arena is the only magazine
that stands atthetop among literary
publications which treats economic
subjects in their relation to the
masses. Every .reformer should
support the Arena.

R0ME'S MAYOR.
Sensational Developments in
the Examination.
City's Chief Executive Turns Out to
BE Rascal.

ROME, n. Y, Dec. 19.-As the investiga-
tion into the affairs of the
defaul.ing cashier of the Central National
Bank proceeds more is discovered that is
wrong. IL is now found that the
cashier, John Bielby, also forged notes as
well as embezzled the funds Of the institu-
tion and 5000 of these notes were brought
10 light this morning. Mr.. Bielby was
taken before u. s. Commissioner Rolan
this morning and his examination was
adjourned until tomorrow afternoon, One
of the most sensational features Of the in
vestigation, however, cropped out this
forenoon, when it was reported that the
teller, Samuel Gillett, who Is Mayor of
Rome, and who has not been seen since
Monday noon, is also defaulter to con-
siderable amount. The shortage has
already been discovered to be $4,000, and
experts are now engaged in examining his
accounts.
II is said that the deficiency in his case
will be much larger than the amount re-
ported. A warrant has been issued for
his arrest on the charge of embezzle-
mint, and placed in the hands of the
authorities, but SO far no trace of him has
been discovered. His family and friends
profess ignorance of his whereabou

A RELIC OF 1772.

Two unique reminders of the early days
of Providence are displayed in the win
dow of the Weybos street Office of THE
NEWS. They are nothing but large wood
spinters, one OF oak ana one OF pine, but
are surrounded with peculiarly interest
ing associations. They are part of the old
wharf at the corner of South Water
and Planet streets from which that men,
orsbie delegation embarked on June 8,
1772, to sail down the hRrbor aud destroy
the British vessel Gaspee.
Years ago the old wharf was buried IL
or 10 feet under ground, when the harbor
front was filled in, and store building
erected on the site; how long ago none
OF the Oldest inha bilants remember
That old building was torn down recently
to make way tor the factory to be erected
by the Oakdale Manufacturing Co. and it
was In excavating for the cellar that the
remains OF the old wharf, so often viewed
from the Gaspee Hoiel, which stood OPP
posite on South Main street, were un-
cart he'd.
How long previous TO 1772 the wharf
was built IS not known, but the wood Is
preserved wonderfully well.

day for some time prior to the assembling
OF the House, where the Carlisle plan OF
currency revision is being debated.
The main purpose of Mr.. Carlisle's visit
was to put the Democratic leaders In
possession OF information to overcome
certain criticisms advised against
the Carlisle bill. The informal
meeting OF the committee on rules today
brought about the tacit understanding
that. there would be no rule on tomorrow
and that the debate will go on
after the holidays. 1t will then be
resumed under the, five minute rule. With
the desire to have vote at that time a
rule will be brought In, as there is no

. IN CONGRESS-.
A Speech in Opposition to
CarIisIe's Bill.
Senate Committee Decided to Report
FavOrabIy on Japanese Treaty.
Resolution Providing for a Committee
to Investigate Alabama Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-As soon as the
regular routine had been disposed of to-
day, on motion Of Mr.. Springer the House
went into committee of the whole, and
the debate on the currency bill was re-
sumed.
Mr.. Johnson, (Rep., Ind.) one OF the
minority members of the banking and
currency COMMITTEES opened the debate
today with vigorous speech In opposi-
lion to the Carlisle bill. Admitting tn.
defects in our currency system, he said
the correction should not be obtained by
the passing of bill along the lines sug-
gested by the banking and currency COM
mittee. 1t may be much easier to
attack the present system than offer n
substitute for it. The present system
had given the country a greenback cur
rency which enabled the Government to
carry on the war and II produced market
for our bonds in the hour OF danger and
peril. The currency 1t produced had never
been questioned.
While remedial legislation might be
advisable, this WAS no time for expert
mental legislation. There was no need of
indecent speed. Congress in this matter
could well afford TO make haste slowly. 4.
