FIRST GREAT MISTAKE.

THE first great mistake in our currency
legislation was made in the act of March
IL, 1862, which authorized the Secretary of
the Treasury to issue United States notes
to the amount of, $50. 000. 900. and made them
legal tender in the payment Of all debts,
public and private, except duties on i'm
ports and interest on the public debt. Fol-
lowing this. other acts were passed under
which additional notes of the same charac-
ter were issued. until the whole amount OF

$4,000 600. This was a radical and danger

CHANDLER FOR BIMETALLISM.
The Erratic enator Writes a Letter
That VIII Please Silverftes.

DENVER, Col, Oct 12.-In a letter to T..
C. Clayton, secretary OF the Republican
State League of Colorado, urging Repub-
leans of this State to stand firmly with
the national organization Senator Chand-
Ter, of New Hampshire. says: THE Repub-
lican party will go into the next presiden-
tial battle pledged to bimetallism, which, /
believe, as sure as right is light, will win.
On the other hand. the Democratic lead
ers-the men who dominate and control its
national influence, patronage and organi-
zation. are monometallists President
Cleveland and his administration are abb
solutely in the hands of Mr.. j. Pierpont
Morgan and his syndicate of foreign bank
ers; they are against silver as a money, and
they are committed to gold monometallism.
With the patronage of the government,
with money manipulated by William C..
Whitney and Calvin 5 Brice, the De
mocracy are hopelessly subjugated and their
next national convention will be as hostile
to principles of bimetallism as are the Eng
fish creditors who propose TO exact the
pound of flesh from their debtors in all
parts OF the world. 1t is the height of
folly for any bimetallist to conceive that
anything but gold recommendation can come
from another Democratic national victory.
We bimetallists outnumber the gold mono
'metaIlists of the world 100 to j. and need
not fear that we shall not eventually sue

States would be attended by representa-
