at the time that gold mining was
declining. These discoveries seemed
providential, and promised con-
tinued prosperity. But in an evil
hou1 Senator Sherman, of Ohio, in
1867 visited London. The result of
that visit has done more harm to
the Human race than all the wars
of two centuries. After his visit to
London he went to Paris, where
monetary conference was in session.
This was the second conference held
in Paris. AT the previous one, in
1865, the Latin Union was formed,
which equalized weights and meas
ures and established common coin
age for France, Italy, Belgium,
Greece, and Switzerland. Napoleon
was anxious to extend it through
out the world, and the conference
of 1867 was called for that purpose,
with no suggestion of intention to
destroy either metal. But Senator
Sherman, cooperating with Mr..
Rivers Wilson, who represented
Great Britain, induced the confer
ence to declare for the single gold
standard. England and the United
States made this condition unifica-
tion of the coins. Senator Sherman
undertook the task of the demone-
tization of silver in the United
States. Space will not permit a
recital of the manner in which he
accomplished this. 1t is sufficient
to say that it was accomplished
without the knowledge or consent
of the American people. The in
fluence of England has been suf-
ficient on the continent to induce
one nation after another to exclude
silver from their mints until all
Europe is now on the gold standard.
The destruction of silver cut off
nearly all the supply ofnew money;
the new gold is substantially con-
sumed in the arts. The gold COM
bination has been excluding from
circulation the four thousand mil
lions of silver coin which is still in
existence, but which forms no part
of the reserves in the commercial
world, and is practically but token
money. When it shall have been
finally excluded from circulation
there will be much less money then
now. There never can be more
under a gold standard. The in
crease of population makes contrac-
tion acute. The gold policy means
the continuance of falling prices
with no end to the decline in sight.
The Rothschild combination in the
meantime has been enlarged. The
national banks of the United States
form part; the commercial banks
of continental Europe form another
part; the great banking establish
ments of London form the third
part, holding as they do obligations
against the countries outside of the
British Empire of more than ten
thousand millions, drawing an
annual interest of over $500, ,000,-
600, of which the United States
pays fully one-half. The great
banks of the commercial world
which formed the gold combination
operate purely and strictly on the
three e-ball principle. They loan on
collaterals, and on failure of pay
ment contiscate the pawns. They
'haye all the money, and all the

he cosmopolitan life of our nation is
drawing too tightly the Roman toQa and
discovering moth-bolss in the English

ness OF some minds uuder the influence
of stronger one OF physical magnetic
power. Itle often the case when the
foreman of the jury has a dominant per-
sonality and goes TO the room with his
own mind made up he has but little op-
position. Mind over mind is more
powerful to carry a measure than the
virtue in the law. The bare prospect of
IL men remaining locked up for hours
has converting influence to the weak
or ignorant, who always surrender
where the contest is strong and long.
So the present system is failing in these
modern times to sustain justice in the
courts. We need some method by which
each juryman can be free to write his
own decision independent OF personal
contact or suggestion. Each man sepa-
rately locked in hs room TO write ac-
cording to law and testimony, would be
conducive to a sense OF personal respon-
sibility, and have tendency to enlarge
the intelligence and improve the char

or a two-thirds count could be con-
sidered a fair decision. Unanimous
agreement is a side entrance by which
