"Then," continued Col Hill, 4 went

T 1 used to watch the Senate in the

not always inclined to take chances on
what you might call D .mocratic action.
No panic was ever goiGg to get a swipe
at the house of Hill. So one morning
I drew out every dollar 1 had in bank,
logged home the gold and put it in a
couple of jugs, of which there are
always some empty specimens at my

FREE COINAGE.

Not Rithstanding the sophistry and
downright lies the daily papers of Bal
timpre, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston have been plying the people
with in favor of the Jew gold money
system and against silver, the cause of
the latter is steadily marching on. and
1t will not be matter for surprise if the
541h congress passes law restoring
silver to free coinage 16 to1. It be-
gins to develop that such a step is the
only hope Of either old party from
anlhllation. The conventions recently
held IN the west have opened the blind
eyes of party politicians to the glaring
talsehood that has been kept up by the
