The following explanations why the
silver dollar should no longer be coined
were made in the house OF representa-
tives April 0, 1872:
1t has become impossible to retain
an American dollar in this country eX-
cept in collections of curiosities.-
Judge Kelley.
The silver dollar "has long since
ceased to be coin of circulation.
y The gold dollar should be declared
the money unit."-Mr, Hooper.
The principal change proposed by
the bill was in "more clearly specify
ing the gold dollar as the unit of value.
The time has come in this
country when the gold dollar should
be distinctly declared to be the coin
representative of the money unit. ."-a
Mr.. Stoughton.

Bananas in Typhoid Fever.

William G. Ussery, M. D., of St. Louis
says that the best food for those suffering
from typhoid fever is the banana. In this
disease, he explains, the lining membrane
of the small intestines becomes intensely
infiamed and engorged Eventually it
begins sloughing away in spots, leaving
well defined ulcers. At these places the
intestinal walls become dangerously thin.
A solid food, if taken into the stomach,
is likely to produce perforation of the
intestines and dire results will follow
Therefore, solid foods, or foods contain
ing large amount Of innutrtious sub
stances, as compared with nutritious sub
stances, are dangerous and are to be
avoided. The banana, although it may
be classed as a solid food, containing, as
it does, % per cent. nutrition, does not
possess sufficient waste to irritate these
sore spots. Nearly the whole amount taken
into the stomach is absorbed, and gives
the patient more strength than can be OBJ
tanned from other food. [Chicago Inter

Crew of Ship Willie Rosenfeld.

On the steamer Carib Prince, which
reached New York Oct. 9th from Brazil
there came as passengers First Mate
Gillespie and wife, Steward Burnham and
wife, and a cabin boy of the American
ship Willie Rosenfeld, which foundered
five hundred miles off the coast of Brazil.
Mate Gillespie said the Rosenfeld, which
was owned by Arthur Sewall of Bath, left
New York April 2s, with general cargo
valued at 500, 900 consigned to the head of
the firm in San Francisco after whom the
ship was named. She ran down in splen-
did time. When she tried to round the
Horn she encountered an awful gale
which blew steadily for days. Finally
the hull sprung aleak and increased SO
rapidly that it was decided to turn tail
and make for Rio de Janerio. When 800
miles off that port, August 10, the vessel
went down. All hands took to open
boats Chief Mate Gillespie, Captain
Dunphy and two others were in one boat.

the third
The mates boat passed through Sc

near being swamped. The party landed
at lbettai, Brazil, August 20. An Eng

Free Silver in Mexico,

Nh W. E. Curtis has recently returned
from a tour Of Mckee, whose industrial
and economic conditions he spent several
months in studying.
"The most distressing feature of the
free silver standard which Mexico is sui
fering FROM Nh. Curtis said to press
reporter, sis its Influence upon taxation.
Mexico has large public debt, the in
terest on which is payable in gold, and
the treasury finds great difficulty in rails
ing sufficient money to meet it by taxa
ton. Their great study is to find some
thing of value upon which more tax can
be raised or new tax levied. This is
seen in the tax stamps placed on almost
everything. An advertising placard must
bear cancelled 2-cent stamp before its
exposure is permitted. Every tradesman,
besides license and other taxes of that
kind, must keep record of Sales and
whenever they foot up so a 3-cent stamp
must be placed on the page. This runs
through everything, and the taxation is
exceedingly oppressive

The Women's Influence.

The women are taking an exceptional
interest in the campaign for honest money
and they are to be credited with being
generally on the right side wherever they
have taken organized action. We have wit
messed women's sound money rally here
in Faneuil Hail. and similar demonstra-
lions have been had in other great cities.
In the States OF Wyoming, Colorado and
Utah they have equal suffrage with men,
and it is highly creditable to the women
of those States that the repudiationists
regard them as a hostile element. 1t is a
significant fact that thousands of women
in Colorado who are friendly to the white
metal have announced their determination
to vote for Mckinley, and it is said that a
large ma ority of the woman vote of the
State will go that way. Boston Herald
