HkNDCART EXPERIENCE.
G ntinued.

They said if we would take pains
and follow their instructions they
would direct us to where Il err is a
very dim track that would lead us
to the Little Sandy, but we would
have to travel for about miles
through large sage brush and it
would be hard to pull our cart thru,
and there was no water until we
reached the Sandy, which would be
the middle of the next day. We
followed their directions and found
the way as they had described it to
us, but arrived at the Little Sandy
about the middle of the forenoon,
having camped by ourselves without
food or water.
We stopped in small patch of
timber which was on both banks of
the stream, and in looking on the
opposite side I saw large bear, but
a short distance from us, the river
being not more than 20 feet wide at
this point. The land on that side
was narrow, with banks from 10 to
20 feet high, the floods having ia
ken the soil away at some former
time. l took out my old shotgun
but bruin wheeled and made for the
bank to where there was an open ng
like large door, into this he walked
and we saw him no more, for which
we were exceedingly thankful.

money to the circulation Of the
country and that in limited
quantities the minis are still open
to silver, but closed against the
food Of foreign silver, which the
gold orators have said SO much
about. The truth is the govern
ment is today doing what the silver
men demanded it should do, when
it began the bond issues in 1894
Under the Sherman law, silver bull
lion of the coinage value of $l77,-
100000 accumulated in the u. S.
Treasury, but was represented i'll
circulation by $I24,000,000 Of
silver certificates. The law allow
ed the Treasurer to coin this bull
lion, redeem silver certificates
Herewith and appropriate the
seig forage. T h Q seigniorage
would amount to $53,000,000, and
at the time of the bond issues
would have prevented the Treas
ury from being plundered by the
gold sharks, if silver man had
been Treasurer. Two months ago,
when the silver forces first become
formidable, the Treasury depart
ment went quietly to work to coin
this bullion and, instead of hold
ing the bullion thus coined for the
redemption of silver certificates,
as it has all along claimed it was
compelled to do, the dollars are
escaping from the Treasury depart
ment and are being used for cam
paign purposes. IL the Democratic
national committee fails to score a
point against the administration
performing this sneaking, CAM
paign trick, it will display an in
capacity which we are not as yet
prepared to charge it.

GOLD RESERVE.
Foreign Bankers Offer to Aid III Aeep-
Ing il intact.-Their Purpose il te
Stave OFF Another Bond laSue

Until the Election is Over.
New York, July 23 "A conference
of representatives of the various
banking houses engaged in the for
elgn exchange business was held IN
the office of ]. P. Morgan & Co.
Twenty one men prominent in for
eign banking were present. A pool
was formed to protect the Treasury
gold reserve until the election in
November, in conjunction with de-
mestic bankers and others interest
ed in the maintenance of the gold
standard of value.
Mr. Morgan told the representa-
tives of the foreign house that a
bond issue at this time would be po-
litically inexpedient, and that the
movement to wipe out the gold re-
serve of this country, if continued,
would kill the goose that laid the
golden egg, BY getting together
and protecting the reserve, Mr.. Nor
gan said, the financial credit of the
United States would be preserved,
and in the end the foreign bankers
would derive greater benefits than
the shipment of gold for small
commission profit at this time would
yield. He emphasized the necessity
of presenting the sound money cause
in the best possible light before the
American people, and urged the ex.
change men to spike the guns of the
free silver advocates by providing
ample gold for business purposes
between now and tha day of elec,
ton.
An agreement has been entered
into to bolster up the reserve and
control the rate OF exchange, SO as
to transfer the demand for gold up
on London.
A committee OF seven was appoint
ed to formulate a detailed plan
4 feature of the scheme outlined
to day is the Offering in the New
York market, in large amounts, OF
sixty day bills of exchange on Lon
dor.

Denver, Colo, July 90 Senator
Teller and six of his associates, who
left the National Republican Con-
vention, this evening made public
an address to the silver republicans
of the country, setting forth their
views Of the situation. The silver
republicans, congressman and sena-
tors have been in conference at Man
itou for several days over their state
ment. In addition to those signing
tha addres, Senator Pettigrsw, Of
South Dakota, and Senator Cannon,
Of Utah, are declared to be in SYM
pathy with it, although Senator Car
non was not present at the confer
ances, owing to business engagements
in Boston. The address is as fo,-
LOWS:
''Wc deem it fitting that we who
heretofore affiliated with the nation
al republican party and who have re-
jected the financial plank of the
platform adopted at St. Louis and
refused to support the nominees of
the convention, should state our
position in the present campaign,
and give briefly our reasons in sup
port thereof.
When certain delegates to the
national republican convention re
pudiated the financial plank of the
platform and withdrew from the
convention, we determined that we
would give our support to such
candidates as should appear most
willing and were most capable of
aiding in the restoration of sill.

money.

cago Convention has taken position

candidates of such unsual unques.
tionable convictions in favor of the
aimetallic policy, and of such high
personal character, that we have de.
termined to give them our support
We support such candidates because
they represent the great principle OF

to be unioa Of effort on the part OF
the advocates and supporters OF the
gold standard to elect Mr.. Mckinley
and a congress favorable to HIM,
which will support the financial pol
| icy outlined in the republican plat
| form
TO those who believe in bimetal-
lisn, which means the equal treat
ment CT both gold and silver at the
raints Of the nation, there is but one
course to pursue, and that is to
unite all the silver forces to oppose
with all our might the candidate rep.
ressnting the policy which we be-
lieve is disaster to the nation and
ruin to the people.
Gold monometallism, means the
shifting to god at once, as primary
money, OF all TIE burdens OF com
merce and credit formerly bone by
gold and silver, and as the worlds
stock Of these metals has always
been about equal in amount,it means
the doubling of the burden upon
gold. Doubling the burden upon
gold means the demand for the same
and doubling the demand Of neces
sity double the value thereof. This
gradual shifting to gold OF all the
burdens of both gold and silver has
caused u gradual and steady increase
in the value of every dollar redeem.
able III gold, and hence gradual
and steady decline in the value Of
every commodity that is measured
by that dollar
| THE republicans and supporters
of Mr. Mckinley consented to the
insertion in the St. Louis platform,
OF the gold standard declaration,
thinly veneered by declaration for
bimetallism, when the leading com
mercial nations of the world should
consent but until that consent was
secured the geld standard must be
maintained. Il is well known that
this consent can not be secured from
Great Britain, and that such declar-
alton for bimetallism means nothing
with this limitation on it.
"Mr Mckinley consented to tho
declaration for gold standard in the
platform. and in his recent speeches
has accepted it, and has become the
advocate thereof; he has shown by
his speeches heretofore made that
he understood the danger of the
gold standard and the distress which
would be inflicted upon the Ameri.
can people By it's adoption, and yet
he pledges the people to support
and msintain that system, and fas-
ten, upon them all the evils of the
financial system which he has here
tofore repudiated if they will make
him President. Whatever may have
been his attitude on the money cues
tion in the past, he must inevitably
hereafter support the financial sys.

ministration has, aud, if elected,

ELEVEN MEN BADLY BURNED.
The Ynive of a Defective Boiler Blew Out
Scattering Scaiding Steam Upon
Workmen.

CHICAGO, ILL, March eleven men
were seriously burned this afternoon in
boiler explosion at the Troy Laundry, 395
Fifth avenue. The fire which followed the
explosion was quickly extinguished- Those
injured were: William Grant, E. Berry,
+. Kaine, Samuel Marsola, Frank Mar
sola, Thomas Hubbard, E. w. Gross, Will
liam Dalber, Samuel Jerwasa, F. Kelly
and Engineer Grant. All the victims were
removed to the County Hospital.
Berry of 2239 Wentworth avenue was the
most seriously burned. He was standing
near the door of the engine-room when
the "F" valve, which, it is alleged, was de-
fective, blew out. The escaping steam
struck HIM full in the face and he fell to
the floor half.conscious. Two of his fell
low-workmen dragged him across to the
other side of the basement, and in doing so
they were severely scalded. The men
were in the basement making an excava-
ton for new boiler, under the direction
of the engineer.
