"The Crime of 1878"

Mr.. w. A. Wray of Harrisonville,
Mo-. in letter published elsewhere
on this page, cites conclusive proof
that the Demonstration act of 1873
was passed through Congress without
the leading members of either Senate
or House having the slightest idea of
what was being done. The proof he
brings forward is conclusive, but there
is more of the same kind.
Mr.. Bright CT Tennessee. member
of the Forty-fifth Congress, said:
1t passed by fraud in the House. nev-
er having been printed in advance, be-
ing a substitute for the printed bill;
never having been read at the clerks ;
desk, the reading having been dis
peused with by an impression that the
bill made no material alteration in
the coinage laws; it was passed without
discussion, debate being cut off by
operation of the previous question. II
was passed, TO my certain information,
uEder such circumstances that the
fraud escaped the attention of some of
the most watchful as well as the ablest
statesmen IN Congress at the time.
Aye, sir, it was fraud that smells to
heaven 1t was fraud that will stink
in the nose of posterity. and for
which some persons must give account
in the day of retribution.--Congres-
sional Record, vol. 7, pat l, second
session, Forty-fifth Congress. page 594-
Still more striking is letter writ
ten by President Grant to Mr.. Coudry,
under date of Oct. IS, 1873, eight
months after he had signed the bill de-
monetizing silver. The following ex-
tracts from that letter prove conclu-
sivelv that when President Grant
signed the bill eight months previous
ly he did not know that it demonetized
silver:
wonder that silver is not already
coming into the market to supply the
deficiency in the circulating medium.
Experience has proved that it
takes about 100000 900 of fractional
currency to rake the small change
necessary for the transaction of the
business of the country. Silver will
gradually take the place OF this cur
rency and, further, will become the
standard of values, which will be hoard
ed in a small way. / estimate that
this will consume from 5000, 600, 900 to
$500. 900, 900 in time of this species of
our circulating medium. | con-
fess to a desire to see limited hoard
ing of money. But l want to see
boarding of something that is stand
ard of value the world over. Silver is
this.
Our mines are now producing al
most unlimited amounts of silver, and
it is becoming a question, 'what shall
we do with it?' l here suggest So
luton which will answer for some
years to put it in circulation, keeping
it there until it is fixed, and then we
will find other markets-See page 2Oo
Congressional Record, Dec. IA, 1871.
1t will thus be seen that the Presi-
dent, Senators and Members of the
House all testify that they did not
know until long afterwards that the
act of 1873, with its 167 jumbled up
sections, demonctized silver. 1t was
a bunco game, played on the country
by few conspirators who were in the
secret. Post Dispatch.

British Guiana Rejects His War-Like

WAsHlNGToN, Oct. IS. THE State de-
parimeut is in possession of the full
text OF the dispatches sent by Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for
the colonies in the British cabinet, TO
Sir Charles Lees. governor general Of
british Guiana concerning the
strengthening of the. frontier, the in
crease of police and the purchase of
Maxim guns in the British Guiana
territory. The department has been
furnished also with the detailed action
OF the high council of British Guiana
upon the recommendations of Minis
ter Chamberlain. These proceedings
give the full resolution Offered by
he governor general ior the purchase
OF Maxim gun and ammunition, uni
forms, arms and accoutrements. They
also make the surprising disclosures
that the High Council Of British
Guiana, after its members had Sc
verely arraigned Mr.. Chamberlain for
his precipitate action IN recomme nd
ing Maxim guns, defeated the resolu-
tion for their purchase by vote of
10 TO s, thus rejecting the policy laid
down by the British cabinet.

The mining laws of this state were

strong can take care OF himself
These coal miners are sometimes
ignorant of their rights, always poor
and dependent, and can not
manifest their dissatisfaction with OBJ
iectionablc conditions prevailing
around the mines without rislSing their
Jobs. You are, therefore. appointed
by the State to do for them what they
can not do for themselves ]. there
fore. insist that in inspecting mines you
do so without permitting the operators
or their representatives to accompany
you. Make your inspection thorough
and independent without their aid.
After you have done so. find out from
the men If there is any ground for
complaint among them. | further
wish to say that there has been en-
tirely too many accidents, not that
there have been more within the past
few years than formerly but ! mean
to say there were some accidents that
