but in no case shall such order be ex-
tended to cover more than eight con
secutIve months
Can anything be conceived more ut
terly repugnant TO every provision of
the constitution of the United States =?
Was anything more wild, impracticable,
revolutionary, or destructive ever pro-
posed in the house of representatives of
the United States? When, too, it is
considered that this proposition ema-
mates from man who looks with horror
upon the issue of silver dollars. silver
certificates and treasury notes, it is seen
and realized to what shifts these people,
who would destroy our legal tender pa
per money, are driven for way out.
Mr.. Walkers speech of Dec 10, 1893,
introducing his bill, contains the most
fascinating and alluring figures as to
how the circulation of certain individual
banks in different parts of the country
may be inflated on this tickhsh basis of
security, or, more properly, absence of
security.
"In view of all these schemes, SO full
of rottenness and imitation, it is more
and more incumbent upon the Ameri-
can people to rise up and III thunder
tones demand the instant and the full
restoration of silver to its constitutional
position. These schemes only go to
prove how one violation of the cOnstitu-
ton renders it necessary that another
violation should take place in order to
compensate, in some measure, for the
wrong committed in the original viola
ton. Thus we see that the spirit of the
constitution having been violated in
taking from the people their right to the
unlimited coinage of silver, it must be
followed up by Mr.. Walkers quack
remedy of the government of the United
States stepping in and guaranteeing any
amount of deposits, really bank wind
which his pet banks may think well in
flush times, by means of loans, to manu-
facture, and which loans must be called
in when the bubble bursts. Every hour
furnishes proof that there is no safety
except in the restoration of silver to the
position which it held under the organic
law of these United States, of the year
1889, and up to the year 1873. Let this
rehabilitation, therefore, be done. and
done quickly ana completely.

LAST Saturday Senator Teller. repub-
lcan senator from Colorado, made a
telling speech in favor of the restoration
of silver His argument when taken
from a standpoint unbia: Ell by political
prejudice. was conclusive evidence that
the situation of this country to-day, was
owing to its financial policy. He pro-
duced evidence to show that the reason
of the depression in agricultural pro-
ducts commenced with the demonitiza-
ton of silver. first by Germany latterly
by the United States. In every country
where the silver minis were utilized,
staple products had remained the same,
and cited among his illustrations, India,
Mexico, China and Japan.

Cause of Hard Times.

This subject has been investigated by
Midas Criterion and the following re-
port submitted:
Senator PETER says that the hard
times are caused by the existence of pri-
vate corporations.
The farmer says it is the low price in
wheat.
The silver man says it is the action
of Wall street.
Wall street says it is the action of
silver men.
The manufacturer says it is the fear
of free trade.
The consumer says it is the tariff
The debtor says it is the creditor.
The creditor says it is the debtor.
The democrats say it Is the republi-
cans.
The republicans say it is the demo
Gratis.
The pOpulists say it is both.
The prohibitlonists say it is whisky.
The preachers say it is the devil.
Now, what is your idea?

WE have received several copies of
the Labor Voice, published at South
Bend. this state. This newsy edition is
published in the interest Of organized
labor, and has such features connected
with it that should rally to its standard
every man who is in sympathy with la
Dor and its educational advancement
1t is to be hoped that those for whom
the Voice is published will give it the
support it deserves. 1t is a fact, the
reason of SO many failures of publica-
tions launched for the benefit of man
kind, and more especially the laboring
classes, who truly need a sponsor for
their cause, is the lack of financial sup
port from those benefited. We wish
the Labor Voice undivided success.

IT will be seen by agricultural re-
ports that the Argentine Republic in
the year 1894, produced 666, 100000 bush
els of wheat. OF this 400, 100000 bush
els were exported to Europe. This GER
tainly is one reason why wheat growing
il the United States is no longer profit
able. In order to make it profitable, il
will be necessary to reduce the acreage
Then the farmer not wanting his land
to lie idle, what will he do? Beet cul
ture would be profitable if we had the
the sugar refineries to work them up
The repeal of the bounty on American
sugar and the new tariff law have ruin
ed the profit on this crop. The cultiva-
ton of flax also had a bright future. 1t
does seem as though the democratic
tariff reform policy is especially severe
upon the farmer. Itprevents him from
growing new crops in the place of the
wheat that is no longer profitable. Eng
land has for years been developing East
India by building railroads and encour-
aging the raising of wheat, in order that
she may get cheap wheat and cheap

WE have been informed that protec-

the party in power to-day believed in a
tariff for revenue only" and that they
would remove the burden from the peO-

by issuing interest bearing bonds.

"Myal man come fe' six pounds" ex- plained Inaco, Him good man, myal man wuk gainst obeah man, Drive
 way duppy, kill obeah Den 'Lizabeth get we'll"
 To this day Miss Howe is ashamed to recall what took place in the next five minutes. The results were seen the next morning when, bright and early, a remarkably black and Villianous look ing negro appeared bearing a bag con tainng various bottles filled with asa toeuda, birthstone, oil nuts, and many malodorous substances, which bottles, With great ceremony and heathenish lncantations, were solemnly hung in the front and rear of Elizabeth's cabin and upon the surrounding trees. The ex- orcism was conducted upon a scale of unparalleled thoroughness such as no duppy could possibly withstand, and all were satisfied that he had thereby been driven quite away. As for Elizabeth, one could almost see the flesh reclothe her wasted form, and the beaming smiles of Inaco were reflected from the other servants. Sara had vanished be- fore breakfast
 Then Miss Howe drove to church along road oyerarched with feathery bamboos and bordered by walls and arches covered with magenta bougan- yillea. There was something strange ly fascinating in this glowing, tropical land of light and color The trade wind blew softly, humming birds darted in and out of gorgeous orchids. The win ter snow and ice she had left behind seemed like dream The only unpleas- ant feature was the offertory. The col lecton was taken up in aid of the Soci- ety for the Progapaton of the Gospel in Foreign parts, and the clergyman dwelt particularly upon the dangers of ignorance and idolatry and the duty of doing all in one's power to prevent the spread of superstition And Miss Howe sighed penitently and retrospectively as she deposited in the plate the sum of one siXpence, which was all that re- mained from her months allowance.

A Jama ca Sketch-The Captured "Duppy,, and His Baleful Influeuce.
 tFrom the New York Evening Post.1 Waving palms, shining mangoes: The air heavy with the scent of allsnice and orange-blossom a brilliant b1ue SKY, misty mountains, and in the dis
 tance the dazzling waters of the Carib- bean sea, with the surf breaking far out over the coral reefs; gorgeous fol- iaSe, orchids like clouds of butterflies humming birds flashing in the sunshine. In vain the girl leaning against the trunk of bread-fruit tree tried to rouse herself from the deadly terror clutching at her heart while sine gazed
 out at the heterogeneous collection of
 English, Spaniards, negroes, and East
 Indian coolies who filled the square of
 the white town.
 Elizabeth was q Jamaica auadroon.
 She came, not from the coast but from
 the cockpit country, "the Land of Look
 Behind" as it is felicitously called.
 where she had lived in a thatch hut surrounded by yam vines and a banan-
 na grove. She was a beautiful crea-
 ture and almost white. The faint touch of negro blood was only enough to put a wave into her brown hair and clear olive, through which the red showed. in her cheeks; but it was strong enough to hold also, firm and deep in her in most soul, the ingrained superstition of the African race.
 It was only lately that Elizabeth had come to the town, drawn by a wish for change and travel, to serve in the inn and wait upon the "bockra' ladies who at this season sought a refuge from tn. keen northern winds in this quaint old place. It was quite enough on or dinary occasions, a very sleeping beau ty of town. One failed at such times to recall it's stormy history, to realize that buccaneers and pirates had besteg ed it's gates, that earthquake, hurri. cane and pestilence had ragged against it. But it always woke into life or market days. From before dawn tho people had been pouring in from fifty miles around, driving donkeys lader with panniers full of cassava, cho-cho and cocoanuts in green husks, and bear ing great stalks of plantains on their heads. The bockra lady wondered fl there was anything that was not car ried on the head from a spool of thread to a hundred-pound bag of coffee.
 T have seen an inkstand, likewise live pig. a slate-pencil. and all egg borne in thls manner she reflected. and the water for the household. the fodder for the horse-no. that is wrong the horse always takes care of himself.

Irregularity Characterised the Opening of
 the Exchange


 l New York, Oct. 17.-A little irregular. ity characterized the opening trading at the stock exchange, but this soon gave way to firmer tone, especially n the grangers, which improved A to F per cent. on the increase of nearly S2O0. 600 on the gross earnings of the St. Paul road for the second week of Octo- Der. An advance in the posted rates of sterling exchange of F cent to S4.SS1b and S4S9ls, however, dampened the bull lsh ardor and started a moderate sell ing movement, It was not generally known, however, that at the decline a leading bear trader covered fully 5000 shares Of Burlington and Quincy, and 1000 shares of distillers
 The average operator with gold ship ments staring him in the face was more inclined to take the bear side of the &C., count, and the sales for this account led to decline of A@1A per cent. Sugar, Leather preferred Pacific Mail and Chicago Gas being the greatest sui ferers Altogether the speculation in the usually prominent stocks was again of a retail character, This will be seen when it is stated that the total sales for the day were only 164o 900 shares, of which 36,900 were Sugar, 14,400 Burling- ton and Quincy 1260o, Chicago Gas H. 200 and 10,700 Leather preferred. Tn the specialties Pullman jumped 1 per cent. to 176 and promptly returned to 172.
 Consolidated Gas rose1A to 14S, Cleve- land, Lorain and Wheeling preferred sold at 64Q1a. The market closed weak under professional selling with prices 1s to T per cent. below yesterdays final figures.
 Bonds were lower. Sales footed up $1, ,22o, 900.
