years past-partly by the vicious legis
lation of 1893 and partly by the panic
gotten up by Wall street early in 1893
as an "object lesson" in order to force
the people of the South and West to
accept their mandates. This contrac-
ton and the consequent suffering will
60 on unless the coinage of silver be
resumed or unless some great and un-
expected discoveries of gold be made
in our country. 1t will not be cured by
issues of paper money. Promises to
pay money must have an adequate
foundation.
The gold standard fastened on the
people partly by legislation and partly
by executive usurpation has been fully
tried and it has failed, except to enrich
a few greedy men. 1t has impoverish-
ed the millions and paralyzed business.
Why not 60 back to the old coinage
laws and system of the government
that stood on our statute book from
1892 to 1878? Look at the roll of
great names who framed and upheld
this system of fnance-free coinage of
both the metals: George Washington,
Hamilton, Jefferson, Adams, Gallatin,
Madison, Monroe, Andrew Jackson,
John c. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Daniel
Webster, Benton, Robert M. T. Hunter,
Jefferson Davis, James Guthrie, Silas
Wright, Allen G.. Thurman and many
more illustrious men-.wise in finance
and all the arts of government.
On the other hand we have for the
gold standard the authority of John
Sherman and Grover Cleveland
The bill proposed by the friends OF
free coinage is the law OF 1887 signed
by Andrew Jackson and passed with
the concurrence of all the leading
minds of that day so far as the use OF
both metals is concerned. The doc
trine of the gold standard is dictated to
us by England in her own interests as
the great money lender of the world
and is chiefly promoted in this country
by her instruments and accomplices in
her schemes of avarice. The foreign
capitalist and his New York agent con-
troll the big banks. The big banks con.
troll the little ones and all agree that
the people have no right to any say in
the matter. l.. @. w.

For Your Protection.-Catarrh "cures"
in LIQUID form to be taken internally, usually
contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potsssia,
or both, which are injurious if too long taken.
Catarrh is local, not blood disease, caused
by sudden change to cold and damp weather.
It starts in the nasal passages. Cold in the
head causes excessive flow of mucus and, if
repeatedly neglected, the results Of catarrh
will follow, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowl-
edged cure for these troubles and contains no
mercury nor any injurious drug.

Mr.. BURR REPLIES TO MR. LENT.
PAYROLIs CONTAINING THE NAMES OF
THOMAS +. FARRELL AND OTHERS MOI
TO BE CERTIFIED.

Josenh A. Burr Corporation Counsel, mas fePhcd
70 F. b. Lent, secretary Of the civil Service COM
mission who asked him whether the COMMISSION
cod legally certify payrols containing the names
OF Thomas F. Farrell as clerk OF the BOARD OF gu
nerrisors now out Of existence with N. T. Dowdeh'
q. Denutv Clerk and Assistant Cashier thereof Mr.
Rurr saws that In his opinion neither OF the men Is
now an employe OF tho city or county government
and has not been since January !. when inc county
was merged in the City OF Brooklyn. Therefore the
payrolls should not be certified
Secretary Lent. who has shown much energy since
he became secretary. has returned to Commissioner
willis for correction the March payroll Of the Blu
r.au Of Water Rates because, as already reported
In The Tribune, 1t contained the names or some ue
tectIyes OF water frauds II is asserted that inc
new men were appointed by Commissioner "hhs on
March 10 and that tho certificate that there was
no eligible list for such detectives. was dated TWO
DAVIS later and was forwarded to Mayor Wurster on
Monday Mr. Lent tells the Commissioner that no
temporary appointments to place IN scheduIe Is
ouaht 10 be made Of any one not eligible ior pera-
nent appointment except In cases OF exlgency' upon
tho certificate of the chairman Of the Commission
that there are no candidates upon eligible list for
the place With the approval Of the Mayor. such
tennorary appointments may be made and the APP
nointees may hold Office hereunder until an eligible
list Is provided. Mr.. Lent says, also. that under
the regulations appointments cannot take erect
until they have been certified by the appointing
nower of the Commission.
Commissioner Willis, replying TO Mr.. Lent through
Secretary X. NJ. Whiting. of the City Works Depart
ment said that the appointments were made on
the authority Of the Mayor and as similar appoint
ments have been made. for an indefinite period. 1t
had heen presumed that the certificate OF the chair
man OF the Civil Service Commission had been filed
with the Mayor and constituted the basis OF his con
cont and the Commissioner answers, further, that
Tho certificate of the Commission. dated March r.
was forwarded the Mayor and not TO the city
IVnrLs pepartment. While there may have been a
,eason why the chairman's certificate was made on
March 81 and not forwarded until March % 1t does
NOT appear In Mr. Lcnts communication.
Mr. Wills says that he has been guided by the
regt,Iations and If change OF proceedings was de-
teTmined on IL was proper that he should have been
informed He says the appointments In question
