Facts Worth Remembering.

To the Editor OF the New DOMINION:
The constitution of the United
States in express terms made both
silver and gold alike; legal tender
and lawful money for the payment OF
all debts public and private, and
they so remained for nearly one hun
dred years. During all these years
they both marched hand in hand in
their glorious mission.
In 1873 the Republican party by
its Act of that date, demonetized sill
yer by forbidding its mintage: and
thereby put the mark of Cain upon
silver, destroying its use as money,
and thus destroyed the demand for
it as money, and also as bull
lion. The demand for silver coin
and bullion being so vitality destroy
ed, the value of the silver dollar at
once began to depreciate, and has
gone on in that downward path until
it is now worth only about fifty cents
to the dollar. But this is all the
poor laboring masses can get; while
it has made money scarce and
hard to get, and hence we are strug-
Cling in the throes of hard times
And is it any wonder that the peo-
pie are suffering?
But this is not all by putting this
ban upon silver and destroying its
use as money it very naturally, as
no doubt was intended, made money
scarce and caused gold to greatly
appreciate in value, until now one
gold dollar is worth two in silver,
thus making the rich millionaires
richer, and the poor poorer
But this is not all about the time of
committing that great crime against
the people in passing the act of Con
gress aforesaid, and doubtless a part
of the wicked plan to further enrich
the bondholders of this country and
of Europe, who held many hundreds
of millions of our bonds and other
securities created by the necessities
of our late war; all Of which were
upon their face declared payable in
coin, not gold coin only, but in gold
and silver coin both, Interest and
principal, as was then and still pro-
vided by the constitution, yet the
Treasury Department at Washing
ton, without the consent of the peo-
pie and against the plain terms of
the said bonds and other securities
established fixed plan, to pay all
such bonds and securities in gold
alone, and have continued to do so
ever since; thereby increasing the
price of gold to nearly % per cent.
above par; thus greatly increasing
the wealth of the holders of such Sc
curities, and which wicked act so
unlawfully done has ever since com
PEELED our government to become a
borrower of gold from American and
British syndicates at high rates of
interest to meet the demands upon
it. And all this in the face of the
fact that our government has abund-
ant silver coin, with several hundred
millions of uncoined silver bullion
lying idle in it's vaults, because of
this wicked and unjust act and prac-
tice of paying only in gold.
Is it then, any wonder that British
bondholders, capitalists and syndi-
Gates ready to purchase our bonds,
are pleading for the success of
Mckinley in our present struggled?
Nor is it any wonder that the Amer

When Bryan and Sewell are at the
helm we will have more money and
a more courageous feeling in business
circles. When the prices of commod-
tiles and labor are on the up grade
every body is eager to buy and to
put his money into activity And
nothing enhances prices like an in
crease in the currency. When far
mer has to put up two bushels of
wheat for a dollar, he will either hold
on to the wheat or to the dollar when
he gets it, and there cannot be much
activity in business.

There is an inquiry propounded by
a socialist, and we do not know how
to answer it: If, when wheat was
worth $l.00 a bushel and labor was
81. 100 a day, man went into debt for
$1,000, and regularly paid the interest
charges, and now the debt is due.
wheat is fifty cent bushel and labor
one dollar day, and the creditor de-
tends existing conditions by saying
that one dollar of to-day is the equal
of two dollars when prices were high,
why should he not in law and in NOR
ais take $500 for the $1,000 debt? For
according to his own declaration he is
getting back all he loaned?

Dr. /. G. Whites article on the
fuel resources of the Monongahela
Valley will be startling revelation
TO many people. THE Monongahe-
la River drains the richest coal field
in the known world" says the wri
ter. He follows it with this sentence.
I'm the number, purity and thick
ness of the coal seams, no other por-
ton of the great Appalachian coal
region can snrpass the immediate
vicinity Of Morgantown." These
statements are from one of the most
eminent biologists in the country.
He is thoroughly familiar not only
with the geological resources of West
Virginia but with the whole coun
try. That subject has been his life
study and he only refers to facts
conditions that any one may see.
This being the case where could
there be q better place for invest

The New York Sun has bolted the
Democratic ticket and every day it
parades in its columns number of SO
called democratic papers that have
deserted the ticket When it is re-
membered that the Sun has not sup
ported democratic national ticket
since 1876 its ''bolt' loses it's force.
The Sun, however, is very careful not
to give the other side. On Saturday
last message from every democratic
county chairman in the State Of New
York gave evidence that republican
accessions to the democratic ranks far
outnumbered the boilers. When it is
remembered that Senator German will
take the stump in Maryland, and there
is little doubt Senator Hill will do the
same in New York these toploftical
bolts" don't amount to very mnch.

A CANADIANS DEVICE.
Causes Light to Shine in Dark Places
Substitute for Artificial Light.

Substitute for Artificial Light.
James G. Pennychuics, of Toronto,
Ont, has on exhibition in Chicago what
he calls prismatic window-glass, which
he thinks is destined to work revolll-
ton in the construction CT large build
ings, which will easily light stores and
other buildings wherein artificial light
has to be used during the day time.
Health-giving properties are also
claimed for it, as it is said to transmit
perfectly polarized light.
Mr.. Pennycuick says the glass will
make Easements which are dark and
heavy with moisture light and health
full. He has been working upon the in
vention for number of years, and
claims to have fully established its
value.
The lights, which are placed at the
top of an ordinary store window, con-
sist of a series of lenses placed vertically,
which absorb the virulent qualities of
the sunlight, and project horizontally
into the room clear white polarized
light. They are placed at varying
angles Sc in extension sllylights, at
the re ]. stores and in sidewalks, so
as to give wider diffusion of light.
1t is also claimed that the lenses will
do away with awnings, the diffusion
destroying the intense heat from the
direct suns rays, making it much more
pleasant for those employed within.

AN INSCRIBED EGG.
Wonderful Story Told of Wheeling
Hens Performance.


W. w. Selby, Justice of the peace at
New Martinsville, W. Va, and a deacon
of the BAPTIST church, has in his pos
session one of the most remarkable
freaks Of nature ever discovered IN this
part of the world. The other day JUS
tice Selby bought from Marion Nolan q
fine fat hen, the intention being to
slaughter the chicken for dinner. When
the bird was cut open, several eggs were
found in mere or less advanced stages of
development. One of them was almost
ready to be laid and the woman laid it
aside tenderly, Intending to make
dumplings for soup, and to use the
egg. AS she ed it she was sur
prised to see a en- and uneven line
of black clrclir g egg, around the
+hickest part, vi appeared to be fine
print.
Squire Selby We to jewelry store,
where he knew there was a strong glass,
and on the way met Rev. DIR. A. NJ.
Lauck, of the Methodist church, and
Editor y. II. Moore, of the Republican,
who joined him. Under the glass the in
scription was very plain, being quite
black, and about the size of agate type.
1t runs around the belly of the egg, and
reads very plainly:
"Midway-New York = Before = Week
| Intelligence = Co. = American" Several
others have seen the inscription, and every
effort will be made to preserve the egg.
