toned the transaction, or one that even
referred to il during the month In
which It was passed.
FOuEth-When It came to be known,
more than a year afterwsrd, what had
been done and q fuFore was raised over
It, Gen. Grant, who was President at
the time, Indignantly and absolutely
denied that he had signed any such bill
sbolishing the coinage Of the dollar,
till his Secretary told him how 1t was
done-that the bill was approved with
out reading. And Blaine and VOor-
heOs In the Senate and score Of
members In the House denied any
knowledge Of or completely in the pas
sage Of any such act. Senator Allison
said that the bill was doCtored by some
one either In committee or during its
passage, when or by whom was past
finding out.
Fifth-Sherman and Carlisle talk
about the demonstration having been
discussed for two or three years. Per
hsps it had been, by doctrlnalres and
theorists, but not by or before the peo-
pie nor on the political rostrum, like
the tariff, for instance; nor was the
proposition discussed in Senate or
House at this time when the act was
perpetrsted. Did anyone ever hear
Senator Sherman or other exponent of
political parties and plstltudes even
mention the subject in any political
campaign, where the issues before the
country are tried and expoundedP And
that covers the whole ground and CON
Vlcts its three or four perpetrators flor
there were only three or four concerned
In the conspiracy Of gross imposition
and fraud on the great American pub
lie.
SIXTH ought to mention that when
the bill came up for passage In the two
houses 1t was so long and bulky that 1t
was never read, but accepted in each
house on the assurance of some mem
ber of the committee that 1t made no
material change In the coinage laws;
and, as l have stated, was signed by
President Grant In the same manner.
And the full purport of the act not
having been discovered at once, its
perpetrators were emboldened to 20
further, and the very next year actually
demOnetiZed silver-that Is, destroyed
1t as primary money or money of re-
dsmption, and consigned 1t to the cat
egory of commodities, where, like beef
and pork or wheat, 1t is subject to the
emasCulated standard, and of course
has sunk like these, as measured by
the golden rod. One consequence Of
all this Is that the 81 200, 100000 Of
metal money we have is reduced one
half for redemption purposes and as
basis for credit currency, and silver
is now In effect added to the lstter--s
pyramid standing on its apex. An
other consequence is sthst the yard stick
of all values having been reduced one
half, and still deemed and regarded as
q yRrd-stick, it takes twice as much Of
everything measured by 1t to answer
the requirement of the measure-two
bushels Of grain instead Of one and two
days work instead Of one, as In the
good times preceding demonstration.
And how long Is all this to continueP

ICOME OF SIX CONSULAR OFFICES.


Some Of the Offices which will come under the
C1vil Service order, such as Birmingham Dundee
snd Nottingham. will yield a larger income than
either Bradford or Manchester. because agen-
eies are attached TO them. All American Con-
eular Offices In Great Britain have suffered from
ne recent order OF the State Department apoi-
Ming the invoicing affidavit before British
Vnmissioner. The fee for this was half crown
ana 1t was retained by the Commissioner. who
W ordinarily Vice-Consul or Deputy-Consui
"nhout salary These extra fees enabled
consul to have a Deputy and Vice-Consui with
Out expense to himself, and. inded by private
arrangement to retain a good share OF the fees
lor his own use. With the abolition or these
Iees the Consuls are now compelled both TO re-
mqush a portion of their income and to pay
we salaries Of their own deputies and vice-con-
sun out Of their own pockets.
