afternoon we were worn out, and told
him he might 60. OF he set. He was

childish white people, and get his
broken back put right by somebody
with some sense. He nearly died that
night, and little wonder! but he has

road, was robbed early this morning.
The vault was blown to pieces with

against robbers had been made in

men participated in the robbery. They
effected an entrance through the rear

wero drilled in the vault door, and
when the dynamite blown into the
holes exploded the door was forced
from its hinges and left the vault o

SILVER APPEAL.
Address from tho Chairman Of
the National Party.
4 Free Silver President Must Bs Elected,
Bays Mr.. Mott-An Independents FinHn-
ciai system Absolutely Necessary
Ignoring Party Obligations

/
chairman Of the national committee OF
the silver party, has issued IN address
to the people, the principal points In
which are rs follows:
~ the necessity OF money as medium Of
Exchange became revealed TO tho minds OF
mon, the two metals finally accepted rs tho
most suitable for money were silver and gold.
This was natural. because they were the two
most precious metals adapted TO the purpose,
and were sufficiently limited In quantity.
From this condition Of regular order and con-
tentment, contributing to the gradual elevation
Of oil classes Of society, the extension Of civ
llixation and tho general bettormcnt Of tho
human race, this country and tho world has
been ruthlcssly torn II has been done by tho
rejection OF ono Of the precious metals In tho
Interests OF greed. and by this act the money
changers have been enthroned and the narrow
Ing OF the scope Of monetizatlon begun. Al
monctization has boon narrowed. money has
become scarcer In proportion, and Is money
became scarcer prices fell In proportion,
and falling prices have been the bane OF this
world II was prcdised after tho demonetiza-
ton Of silver that great suffering would follow
This suffering Is already here From con-
traction OF the currency wo arc now In tho
throes Of ono Of these desperate stages Of
human experience-a period Of heartachc,
cankcr and sleepless nights rs the foundation
OF prices have crumbled. Obligations resting
upon the supposed arm foundation OF price IN
ready money have crumbled into dirt Us tho
foundation OF the price has crumbled. The
country Is confronted by grave emergency.
Long patience and dispassionate reflection
has convinced me that IN independent Amcri-
can financial system is absolutely necessary TO
the restoration Of national prosperity and the
establishment Of commercial conditions In this
country that will give the common people-the
agricultural and laboring classes-an equal
show with capital and concentrated wealth.
How can It be effected,
The first step-the essential preliminary to
the correction OF present abuses. the re-cstab-
llshment OF national prosperity and the main
tenancc Of our national credit-is The election
OF president whose Andrew jackson courage
and infiexlble integrity will defy the influences
that prostitute presidents and cabinets and
make the administration Of the government
subject Of humiliation and reproach.
The one hope OF the people, an convinced,
Is in the election OF q president pledged, un-
conditionally and unrescrycdly 10 the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver and gold, tho
same ns from the foundation Of our govern
ment until 1874 And also Internationally
pledged In favor Of q national currency,
