United States and at the next ses-
sion Of Congress, in 1873, he rail-
roaded through law which he
claimed was for the purpose Of regu-
lating the mints that coined money,
but which really proved to be law
demonetizing silver. 1t was q scheme
worked so slick that but few men,
bers of Congress understood it, and
President Grant, who signed the bill,
said afterward that he did not know
that it was q bill to demonetize sill
yer. 1t was bunco game that not
only the people, but the President
knew nothing about, and failed to
understand.
We can all see what strife there
is over the money question in this
year of our Lord, 1896. Did anybody
ever hear a word about money legis-
lation in 1873? Can there be found
man in Scott county, or in Missouri,
who knew that so grave question
was before Congress No! Congress
itself did not know it. We all know
what an uproar the money question
of to-day is causing. Then, if the
people knew what was going on, why
would it not have caused some conf
ment in 1873?
The answer can only be that the
people did not know anything about
it. They did not know that they
were being, by law, enslaved and
pauperized and made to look up to
the British crown and the money
sharks of Wall and Lombard streets!
No; they are just now finding out
that part of the program. However,
by the grace of John Sherman, in
1873. silver was demonetized. 1t was
no longer considered as money by our
lawmakers. Gold was made the
measure of values.
But "silver is money" shouts a
man who don know what he is talk
ing about. 81 can take a silver dol
lar and buy dollars worth of any
thing
That is just where he fails to see
beyond his nose. A silver dollar will
buy as much as a gold dollar, but
why? Not because that particular
piece of metal is worth a dollar, but
because it can be exchanged for a
gold dollar just the same as paper
dollar, and because the bankers and
gold gamblers have never seen fit to
question its value. The moment that
Wall street says they will receive a
silver dollar at only fifty cents, just
at that moment will our silver dol
lar drop to its bullion or intrinsic
value, just as the trade dollar
dropped-and the silver. of course.
will be scattered among the poor
people and they will be the losers
as was the case by the trade dollar
BY the way, we have followed the
money problem to 1873. In that year
John Sherman. or rather. Rothschild,
got in his work. From that time on
the products of the farm began to de-
cline, but it was not discovered that
silver was demonetized until 1879.
Up to that time we used grcenbacks.
and the little caper played by John
Sherman in 1873 had been overlooked.
But when we began to redeem our
paper, then the wholde conspiracy
leaked out, and while we owe debt
of over two billion to England, pay
able, at our option, in either silver
or gold, the Rothschilds and the
Cleveland Administration demand
that we shall pay this debt in new
ly established dollar, for which we
must give up double the amount of
our products, or of our labor, as for
the dollar under which we contracted
our debts.

AN UNKNOWN WOMAN
Mysterious Death at Lodging House
at No. % 1-2 East Galena.
CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION
No One Has Been Found Who Can
Identify the Corpse-The Body
Is at the Butte Under
taking Rooms.

An unknown woman died suddenly
last evening at the lodging house at
No 23Ih East Granite street. The cir
cumstances attending the death may
cal. for investigation by the coroner.
The latter was notified of the death by
Dr. Fourtin at 10:45 O'Clock last even
ing. The name of the woman was
given as Mrs. Riley. Mrs. Harris, who
runs the lodging house. said, however,
that the woman named Riley had left
the place several days before. and that
the woman who died was not Mrs. Ri
ley, and was an entire stranger to her.
She came to her place Saturday morn
ing and paid 81 for two days room
rent. She seemed in perfect health.
was a fine looking woman and about %
years old. She gave no indications of
being i'll. and the landlady was greatly
surprised on hearing that the woman
was dead.
No one has been found who knows
the woman's name or where she Is
from. She had not a cent of money
about her and not a scrap of paper was
found to show who she was. DR. Four
tin did not give the cause of death TO
the coroner. There was blood in the
bed and indications were that some
operation had been performed. The
body was removed to the Butte under
taking rooms. Identification is desired
and the body will be on view to-day
for all who think they may be able to
identify her. 1t is likely that an in
quest will be held.

Anastasia island has water to burn,

Some months ago ]. ID. Dowd thought
that ne would like "a cottage by the

WANAMAKER' CONVERSION.
Says "He Got Religion" When He Was a
Raw Country boy.

From the Phlladelpnla RECORD.
Under the auspices of the Evangelical
alliance ex-Postmaster General Wanama-
ker addressed a large audience in the
Kensington theater, at Frankford avenue
and Norris street, last evening. The call
for the meeting was to those who are not
regular church-goers, and a large major
ity of those present were men, Mr.. Wana-
maker told his hearers how, when he was
an awkward country boy of IS years. he
once went to a religious meeting, sitting
far back in the audience. and listened to
the words of an old preacher. who said
that now that he was old he felt how
good IL was to him that he had the re-
ligion of Christ TO die by.
Il listened to the words of that good
old man." said Mr.. Wanamaker, "and |
said to myself, Il don't want to die now.
want to live. and I want a religion to live
by for / was young, you know, and all
my thoughts were on this life. Then there
followed a young minister. who told us
that he had felt the blessings of the relig-
ion of Christ, and that IL was a good re-
ligion to live by and to do business by.
and II would bring contentment and hap
piness to all who would embrace IL. I then
said to myself. DO you want that relig-
ion? Yes, When do you want IT? Now!'
then and there made up my mind that
would have IL right away So l waited
until the meeting was over and when the
minister came down the aisle on his way
out of the church stepped up to him and
said: Mr.. Chambers. ! am going 10 ac-
cept the religion of Christ IL was SO
easy for me to do IL when 1 had finally
worked IL out in my own mind and heart
and il is just as easy for any of you to
do il If you will. and | want you to try II
for yourselves and see"
Mr.. Wanamaker paid high tribute to
the late Samuel ]. Randall and described
how he had frequently visited him dur
ing his last illness and read to him out
of the Bible, and how at one of his visits
the statesman had said to him: Mr.. Wan
amaker. I have found II there pointing

Now that the recent war scare has
somewhat subsided. and we have had
time TO review the situation, we are
convinced that the real cause of the
trouble was not entirely owing to the
Venezuelan claim jumping kick back,
but the English stand Is made through
a more decided infringement upon for

place, did not that unnatural Rocky

the gauntlet of derision in the bespec-
tacled faces of the "pup-tocracy" OF
the court of st. James, and in the faces
of the debauched and leaprous. titled
beegars of Europe. and marry an intel

thereby robbing some nobleman CD of
his much needed support: and last but

wickes Pioneer: The town of wickes
Is small and were our merchants TO
depend entirely on IL for support, many
of them would be forced 20 the wall.
Such is not the case. In this imme
date vicinity there is a population of
close to 1900. All these do their trad
ing in wickes and so long as they can
obtain satisfactory prices will continue
to do so. In the Gregory district there
are a large number of prospects being
worked with satisfactory results. and
by spring many of them will take rank
as producers. Every cent Of this trade
comes to Wickes. Altogether. the bust
ness outlook Is brighter than IL has
been for a number of years. and any
man who will prate about a dull and
gloomy future has evidently slipped a
cog. We want no boom" here; but
facts are facts. and IL Is a very poor
prophet indeed who will say that in
