Congressmen Express Sympathy for
the Junta.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-The head :.
quarters of the Cuban legation in this
city was the center of interest to q
number of callers today, who had come
to express to Senior QueSada their sor
row at the death of Gen. Maceo and
to offer their sympathy and. in some
cases, help for the Cuban cause. These
callers included a number of congress
men and two senators (whose names
the Cuban representative declined 10

to see some action by congress that
would be of assistance to the insur
gents, Senor Quesada says that he ha 6
received during the past few davs
about fifty letters, many OF which come
from persons and organizations offer

states and cities represented in these
letters are Washington. Wyoming

authorizes his former statement thar
the Cubans have enough men and
leaders to gain the cause fer which
they are fighting. They can avail
themselves of 0,000 men. and more If
necessary, but what they need is arms
and ammunition, and rredicine for The
sick and wounded. 1t is said offers of
assistance from abroad have been re-
ceived. The Paris agert of the iunta

French people, after hearing of the as

is MONEY SCARCE.
Senator Davis illustrates by a Rem

iniscence of the Days of '61.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-"Of course
we have been having hard times,'' says
Senator Davis, "and times are very
hard yet. But the people are not so
hard off as they were during the three
years preceding the civil war. In the
Northwest, particularly, the older in
habitants remember with shudders the
panic of 81 and the suffering which
it brought.
In those days money was not only
scarce, but there was no money to
be had. Saw logs were legal tender,
and, in fact, Everything that pos,
sessed any sort of value passed as
token money. When man killed a
deer or muskrat, or any other kind
of game, he could take the hide to a
general store and get clothing or food
in exchange for it; but no money was
passed over the counter. because there
was no money in the country.
Up in Northern Wisconsin copper
was mined, and copper cents We're Is
sued by private individuals. The gem
eral storekeepers issued their own
scrip, and it passed for money. /
have seen a 10-cent postage stamp,
encased in mica, passing for money
many time. We had every kind of
token money except wampum; we
didn't quite get that far back to the
primitive medium and method of ex-
change. But the people who are talk
ing now about the scarcity of money
ought to have had some such expe-
rience. 1t is rather hard to endure,
of course, and I wouldn't want to go
through it again; but it is an educa-
tional experience of value.
The men who had accumulated
enough to establish general stores,
where they kept dry goods, groceries,
patent medicines, and all sorts or
things, went through the panic and
prospered a little bit. Nevertheless,
even the storekeepers had very little
money. and they received goods in ex-
change for the skins and other artI-
cles taken by them in exchange from
their customers on the frontier.
