FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio of 10 of silver to Of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business Of the coun-
try. The surreptitious act OF 1873,
divorcing silver and goldin our none.
tary system, was a crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
OF class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers Of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
Of the United States. 1t was al act
oftreason because done at the instance
of European syndicate and for bride
money, "giying aid and comfort to
our country's enemies. To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti.
Gated facts, often published, have been

The Enquirer will continue to ex.

Then it occurred to the boys that
they had no gun. But something had
to be done to aid Pedro, and so Fred
and Lew jumped into the creek and be-

used their feet more than twice on the
coons before two of the ring.tailed dem

from Pedro and began climbing on the

Fred and Lew hadn't gone three rods
before the two coons had used them
very roughly, and then the boys
tumbled hcadlong into pile of
stones. This was lucky. They grabbed
stones and began pounding the conus,
and pounding them 50 cifcctually that
in few minutes they had been
stretched apparently dead ON the
ground. Flushed with victory, they

A twenty-pound coon Is big one.
Occasionally some one in western New
York kills one that weighs twenty-five
pounds, and every time that is done the
hunter Is the hero Of the hour. So,
naturally, young Fred Chambers and
young Lew Clark OF West Oak Hill, and
Fred Chambers dog Pedro are Just now
more than heroes. They had hard
time winning their lnurels. but they
won them, and the dog, although badly
rumpled, still lives.
II Is great country for coons, up in
this part of Chautauqua county, says
the New York Sun. The two boys,
Chambers and Clark, never hunted
coons, and didn't know anything about
coons, but somebody said one day,
lately, that II he owned the dog Pedro
he would go out and get more coons
than few. So Fred Chambers, not
wanting his dog to be wasted in idle
ness, thought that he would take him
out among the coons and let him do
himself Justice. Fred asked Lew Clark
to go along and take hand in Pedro's
cooning, and few nights ago they all
three went to the woods The night
was clcnr and not very dark, and II
coons did not have the very excellent
habit of taking things they are going
to eat to water and cleansing them
thoroughly before the eating probably
four of the largest coons that ever
rolmed the Chautauqua county woods
would be roaming them yet.
Pedro and the boys had gone into the
woods mile or so, the dog in the lead,
when suddenly sounds of strife came
from the front to the ears of the young
hunters. They hurried forward and
came to small creek, the waters Of
which were being tossed nbout like
fountain in gale. Pausing near the
scene of disturbance, the boys soon
made out in the gloom the form of the
dog Pedro, from which radiated the
forms OF four other animals, at various
angles, according TO the position in
which its tutnblings and contortions
placed the center of disturbance. There
was much noise ACCOMMODATING the fra
