The New Era.

Plenty of legal tender American money
is greater protection to American indus
try than any tariff that can be framed
Foreign goods cannot be sold i'll our
market in exchange for our money at
less price than the home made goods
bring because they must be exchanged for
our money or our goods at the price of
our godos. We can sell our surplus goods
in foreign markets and purchase foreign
goods at their market price i'll foreign
countries and sell them in our market at
the price fixed for our home manufacture
This fact was demonstrated during the
greenback period of our money. Prices
were very high and our people in every
line of business were all employed
Abundance of foreign goods were inn
ported and sold in our markets, but the
competition did not affect our manufac-
turerS and the reason is plain. Our peo-
pie were all employed in the production
and distribution of wealth. This made
consumers abundant with money to pur-
chase everything placed OIL the market at
a profit to the producer. There was more
wealth, real substantial wealth. created in
that period than in the same space of
time in the history of this or any other
country. And that wealth remained
largely in possession of the producers.
The large volume of money then in cir
culation, divided the wealth of the coun-
try more evenly among the people. The
money could not be cornered by few, be-
cause the volume was so large, about $50
per capita. There was enough money to
pay cash, or nearly so, hence few bad
debts and unpaid bills. Farmers pros
Pered, mechanics prospered, manufac-
turers prospered, laborers prospered,
merchants prospered.
The government furnished the money
and the interest of the banker for the
loan of his credit which buys nothing,
which pays for nothing, was not levied
on industry as it is now, when real U. S.
money has been made so scarce by the
destruction of the legal-tenders of the
government and the demonstration of

The show which Mark Hanna
has prepared for the American
people has disguised and shamed
every man and woman in the
country who have any sense of
national disgrace. Hanna has sent
thousands from all parts ofthe middle
states on free excursions to march
round the Mckinley residence and
parade before his door while he
reads to them speech prepared in
advance, supposed to suit the eX-
cursioists. These eXcursiOnists
have all been transported free of
cost to them. The people know
what all this means and contem-
plate with feelings of disgust the
stupid, hollow sham. How Hanna's
poor prisoner, Mckinley feels may
readily be imagined. If he had a
spark of independence and Ameri-
can spirit in him he would rebel
against such humiliating treatment.
But Hanna holds a mortgage on all
the man possesses of property in
the world and he must submit or
be turned out like an evicted
peasant on the world Such a can
didate for the free people of this
great country to contemplate voting
to elevate to the presidential chair!
They can never, never do such Il
thing. The people feel so acutely
the disgrace this coarse brute,
Hanna is heaping on them that
they will bury Major Mckinley
under their votes out of sight. Oh,
the disgrace, the shame of this eX-
hibition!

FOSSILS IN THE BAD LANDS.
Discoveries Recently Made In South Da-

kOta by Prot. Todd.
There was brought to this place a
few days ago the strangest collection of
bones and petrifications that one could
wish to see, says Hermosa Is. d. let
ter to the New York Sun. 1t was sent
by the party of scientists under Prof.
Todd, state geologist, who have been at
work in the Bad Lands for some weeks
and last week found Il hill Of tufa and
volcanic ash which at intervals quaRes
and shakes. They have been for some
time in the section between Wounded
Knee creek and Battle creek, near the
scene of the Pine Ridge affairs with
the Sioux some years ago.
They have found quantities of the
fossilzed remains of turtles, with shells
from two to three feet in diameter, and
of the brontotherium. q hoglike animal
from IL to IA feet in length, as well as
the oredon, Il prehistoric animal whose
appearance was that of sheep.
The water in the region is saturated
with clay, held in solution, and it re-
mains indefinitely without settling,
giving the water the color and consis-
tency of cream. This has been the
cause of great suffering among the geo.
logists, as it has been almost impos-
sible to get water fit to drink. The light
colored clay buttes composing the en-
tire face of the country are nearly all
wet. and are so slippery that it is like
walking up an incline of smooth ice to
climb them.

Mr.. Brosius did not explain in
his speech here last week how the
opening of the U. S. minis to the
free coinage of silver would reduce
the debt paying power of the silver
dollar below what it now possesses,
which is equal to gold. The debt
paying power is the test of the
value of all money. Mr.. Brosius
declared most emphatically that
free coinage would reduce the debt
paying power of the S. We EN-
phatically deny the statement and
challenge Mr.. B. or any of his party
here or elsewhere to prove the as
sertiOn true.

We are familiar with the brag that was
put up in many presidential campaigns,
but never witnessed anything to compare
with that INDUCED in by the goldbug
party this year, and with such intangible
basis to rest on. Either the voters their
canvassers count are deceiving the leaders
or they are counting OH the fabulous
millions Mark Hanna has collected with
which to purchase the American people.
1t is probable both are factors which are
deceiving them, but the most probable of
all is their desperate condition, which has
nothing to sustain it to the end but un-
paralleled Boosting and great claims of
pluralities.

COULDN'T ENJOY THE COUNTRY
One Gamin Who Missed the Daily Visits
of tho PntroI Wagon.

One Gamin VINO MISSED the Daily visits
of the Patrol Wagon.
That most city children thoroughly
appreciate an outing in the country is
well attested by the popularity of fresh
air parties and the efforts made by chill
dren TO be numbered among those taken
on the trips. But there are always eX-
ceptions, says the Philadelphia Record.
One exception was a member of a fresh
air party which had been sent out into
the country. He sat by himself, quiet,
unmoved by all the glories of the place
-disconsolate, discontinued, miserable.
Elliston Perot, one of Germantown's
kind citizens, who was with those in
charge, determined that the street
arabs should have good time. He no.
ticed the little fellow and asked him
why he didn't go with the rest of them
and have a good time. Good time
puthin'," blurted out the hoy. Then
Frightening up as if Mr.. Perot's kind
ness merited at least the graciousness
of an explanation, he said; You
oughter live down in our alley. Why,
Their patrol wagon sometimes comes five
times a day." There was a volume in
that speech. That day could no more
enjoy a day way from the narrow
courts and brick walls than we could
the Garden of Eden if Father Adams
heirs were put in possession again. But
he was an exception. Life in the coun-
try is unalloyed delight to most city
children.
