yer dollar out OF the coinage. provided for
In the act or 1875, was before the American
people for more than two years. The de
pate upon us passage in the House ana IN
the Senate occupied several columns of
the congressional proceedings. Up to the
time of this alleged characterization OF sill
yer the government had, during It's entire
existence. coined less than nine million OF
silver dollars. Under the Bland-Allison act
coinage OF the standard silver dollar and to
restore its legal-tender character.
This act was to resuscitate the declining
value OF silver. 1t was to place II side by
side with gold as part of the redemption
money OF the United States. Let ii be re-
msmbered that silver had been demone-
lation OF 1873 was based on the fallacy that
silver dollars OF gola value could be substi-
tuted for deprecated paper. The silver
dollars coined before this enactment.
amounting to between eight and nine mil
lions of dollars. had Iong before disap-
peared from circulation. The decline in
its increased production, which began to
exceed the demand for its use. European
nations omitted it from their coinage laws.
They dropped it because they had already
as much silver money as their people de-
manded. They dropped II because they
knew. that no amount of coming OF this
metal could arrest its further decline II
increased production continued.
But it is impossible to cover the whole
ground in a single desultory speech. Let
US go back to the alleged crime of 1873.
Was there a conspiracy? If so, who were
the conspirators? They were the genius Of
trade. the enterprise of the American peo-
pie, and the intelligence of an advanced
civilization. The fiatboat in which /
crossed the Missouri river in the autumn
of 1854 was by a conspiracy between cap
ital and human ingenuity deferryized. and
the steamboat took it's place. This change
took place because immigration and the
development of the territory became too
big for fiatboats. Later on a conspiracy
again transpired wherein capital and civ
ilization have combined to deferryize the
steamboat, and the result is the magnificent
steel bridge upon which our trains cross
every day.
This Republic Is not a Judas Iscariot
among civilized nations. 1t refuses to be-
tray honest dealing. 1t scorns even thirty
million times thirty pieces Of silver and
is compelled by its judgment and its con-
science TO reject the opportunities of those
who would deliver the safety and perpetu-
ity of the country into the hands OF. So
cialism, zealotry, fanatacism and dishon-
esty. 1t ignores and scorns all those who
would applaud and jeer at the crucifxion
of the credit of our government, which has
been. and God grant that 1t may continue
to be. the savior of civil end religious lib
erty, the friend and asylum of the poor
and oppressed of all nations"

Erost for ShixeIx.

FORT WAYNE. Ind, Aug. 1.-The Dem
ocratic ratification meeting tonight was a
failure. For the first time in the history
of Allen, the banner Democratic county of
indiana. they failed to get out a crowd In
their procession. and Democrats them
selves are amazed at the complete fzzle.
BY actual count there were only ninety
three in the parade, including members or
the band and drum CORPS and eight people
in carriages. Prominent Democrats, who
have been leaders Of the party in this
county for the past quarter of a century
stood on the and refused to axe
part In a free-silver jollification. and would
not take seats on the platform, where
empty chairs surrounded the speaker. Hon.
B. f. Shively, candidate for Governor.
There was absolutely no enthusiasm; but
the Princess Rink was crowded. n the
audience was made up largely of Repub-
licans. who were anxious to hear any silver
gumen that would be made in the
Democratic opening of the campaign. 1t
was not known until tonight what an
enormous disaffection exists in the Demo-
cratic ranks of Allen county. Hundreds of
the members of the party declare they
will not give aid or comfort to the party as
long as BRYAN leads 1t.

Mrs. Henry Webster, his mother. and as
saulting his father, probably fatally. was
arrested here this afternoon. He ormerl
worked In a drug store here and had stolen

he formerly boarded to get some
clothes he had left there, and
was arrested while boarding a street car
to leave the city. Webster, when taken TO
the police station, denied that he had

Sheriff Stohr, of DeKalb county, Indiana, he
weakened somewhat and consented to go
back with the sheriff if he were protected
from being lynched by a mob. He said he
had been in Pittsburg before coming here.
The Indiana sheriff identified him from
the fact that. he has a wooden leg.

Some of Them Wore Big
Sleeves and Pretty Slippers.
It Was a Gorgeous Affair and Ladies
Scored a Success.

The long-whispsred-about leap year ball
occurred last evening at the 1rocadero in
all the Joy OF exclusiveness, and with the
added spice Of secrecy which Society has
recently adopted in its more important
and brilliant happenings.
The Trocadero and the lower suite Of
rooms never were more gorgeously gotten
up. Florist O'Connor ouldid his best
previous efforts In furnishing green INK
floral backgrounds for pretty women. and
in arranging rose-strewn and vine-screen-
ed bowers for tete-a-tetes.
Down stairs in the empire and assembly
rooms, where supper was served at mid
night, the effect was no less delightful.
Each table, spread for 10 guests, was
adorned with cut flowers, ana the snow
white of the table linen was enhanced by
the delicate tracery of the asparagus vine.
Caterer Tillinghast wed with the florist,
and costly viands constituted one of the
most Ella borate of menus.
At 10 O'Clock, WHEN he last carriage had
arrived from the Symphony concert, and
other early evening diversions, the first
strain of the waltz, issued from the vine
covered balcony, where Reeves full or
chestra was stationed for the night.
BY | O'clock the ball was at its height
and never before had Providence society
appeared TO Sucn glorious auNanIaEe.
The gowns were gorgeous and their wear

The leap year feature was in the revers-
ing of the usual order. The gentlemen
received the guests and also the assiduous
attention of the ladies who for once en-
joved the privileges and bore the rospon-
sibilities OF teing escorts. Some of the
men thought that a little fun could do
no harm and had the regulation big
sleeves attached TO their evening coats
and also wore slippers daintily tied with
ribbons.
