A currency debater lost s100 the

betting that he could take roll of
national bank notes to bank and
exchange them for gold. Then he
drew out his deposit of several
thousand dollars that he had had in
that bank for many years. No Kan

government. We have seen our
silver with Il price set upon
it by England aud used at this
price by England to pay for East
Indian wheat and cotton bought
in competition with our own. We
have seen our OWN breadstutfs and
cotton forced below the cost OF pro-
duction. We have seen wheat fed
to hogs and corn burned for fuel for
lack of market. We have seen the
growth Of our thriving western ex-
porting states stopped, their people
hampered IN every enterprise. their
producers impoverished, their labor
robbed of its opportunities for prof
liable employment; their capital tied
up in enterprises which are rendered
unproductive by the blighting inter
ference of Il government under for
eign control. We have seen the
prices Of our exports forced down
until the country has become more
and more "a debtor nation" until it
is impossible to get gold to ''settle
balances aud pay interest on an in
creasing debl We have seen Amer
lean property pass into foreign
hands until now several thousand
millions of our best paying invest
ments are controlled by the same
foreign operators who a., controlling
our currency ard debating our finan-
cial policies. And while the bread
producers Of our agricultural states
are thus Impoverished by lack Of
distribution for their products, we
have seen in tne gent cities of the
east an increasing umber of people
who have nothing II eat. From the
tenements Of New York and of Lon
don We have heard the cry of famine
"a might cry for bread, an appeal
to heaven before which even the
Whitneys, the Vanderbilts, the
Rothschilds tremble.

since in the senate of the United
States Honest john" Sherman in

lishment Of the single gold standard

"A Stupid General Crime"
Post-Disps.ch.

Post Dispatch.
On page 533 of John Sherman's
published speeches and papers edit
ed by himself is an extract from the
we'll known economist, Seyd. Il
will read you a short extract from
| Seyd," said Mr.. Sherman to the SEN
ate, in urging that the silver dollar
was sound money, good money, a
dollar honest enough to use for re-
deeming the greenbacks and for
paying all non interest bearing debts
of the government II will now read
you an extract from Seyd on the
very subject I am speaking of, the
importance of the American dollar
in the commerce of the world; and as
he expresses it much better than I
can, think senators will be much
better pleased to hear his statement" :"
This is part of the statement
thus indorsed by Mr.. Sherman IS
vindicating the honesty of the silver
dollar much better than he could
himself:
Il think that America by deciding
in favor of the double valuation
would not only save the world at
large from an abyss and prevent
the accomplishment of stupid gen.
eral crime whose authors humanity
would some day learn to curse, but
that she would advance her own IL
terests more than may be supposed
possible"
This" said Senator Sherman in
conclusion, 'ls the opinion of Mr..
Seyd, an English writer who is per-
fectl vfamiliar with the whole sub
iect aud who has lived in this coun.
try the most of his life
As Mr.. Seyd 8 statements need no
further Endorsement after this, We
may proceed to inquire into tie
facts on which he based conclusions
which he expressed even better than
Senator Sherman could have done
mself-unless, indeed, as Was
probably the case, Senator Sherman
allowed his modesty to underrate
his merit.

tor Sherman, J. Pierpout Morgan

Cf the Rothschilds; Mr. William c.
Whitney, OF the Standard Oil Co.
Mr. Hanna of the Iron Trust and
others who now advocate the demon
citation of silver and the corpora
tion system of currency control
why is i true, as Senator Sherman
thought in reading Mr.. Seyd's views
that the adoption of a single GOLD

SPLENDID ATTRACTION.
Ups and Dows of Life to Be Pre- sented at the Opera House
 by Strong Company.
 

Oliver Byron, supported by the eminent artiste, Kate Byron, and their company of comedians, will appear at the Opera-house Friday night, February 7th.
 The story of Ups and Downs of Life" is a powerfully interesting and strong emotional one, replete with thrilling situations and a vein of heart interest prevailing the entire play. It treats of the mistakes of a young girl, Alice Bruce, who at the age of l6 is lured into a clandestine marriage with an mprineipled ad- venturer, who after the marriage at the church door is arrested for for forgery and sentenced to five years penal seryitude. The unhappy girl returns to her fathers house and keeps her secret. A few years afterwards there is an outbreak in the prison and she reads of her hus- bands death. Later on, deeming herself free, she loves and marres Vivian Ransome. gentleman of wealth, and in the midst of all her happiness her first husband appears on the scene. He is engaged as an agent con her second husband s estate, and she makes the mistake of still keeping her unhappy secret. From that hour her life is q burden, for the scoundrel persecutes her day and night to extort money and also with his love, which she repels with hate and scorn. In scene of over- whelming interest in the second act Vivian Ransome surprises them and discovers the whole story and ord CTS the man from his door, then repu- diates his unhappy wife. She wan ders away in her lonely, miserable life and finally in q boarding house unexpectedly meets her second hus- band. There is Il strong eomplica- tion in this act where the first hus- band is also, and it transpires that lie had already Il wife before marry ing the heroine. There is q realistic fire scene and Vivian Ransome res cues his wife. The last act restores the situation. The villain tries to force his wife back to him by the power of the law when he is con fronted and confounded by the ap- pearance of his real wife on the scene. This, of course, gives Alice to her own husband in happiness and ut terly illustrates the villain and every thing ends happily.
