In The Beginning

of new year, when the winter season
of close confinement is only half gone.
many find that their health begins to
break down, that the least exposure
threatens sickness. / is then as well
as at all other times, and with people
even in good health; that the following
facts should be remembered, namely ::
that Hoods Sarsaparilla leads every
thing in the way of medicines; that it
accomplishes the greatest cures in the
world has the largest sale in the world,
and requires the largest building in
the world devoted exclusively to the
preparation o. the proprietary medi-
cine. Does not this conclusively prove,
if you are sick, that Hoods Sarsaparil-
! is the medicine for you to take?

How it Affect the Price of Sill
YER.
Circumstances Attending Its Passage
and How 1t Was Finally
Repealed.

On the fourth OF March, 1889, the ad-
ministraton OF President Harrison be-
gan.
All over the country there was very
general complaint OF dull times, and eX-
cept in the extreme east, strong de-
mand for silver legislation.
When the DIST congress assembled on
the first Monday in December, 1889,
there is no doubt that a clear majority
OF both houses were III favor OF free
coinage. But the administration, Speak
er Reed and majority OF the republi-
cans in both houses were opposed to
such a measure. The senate promptly
passed free Coinage bill, and sent it to
the house.
But the administration mad its pet
scheme known a the "Windom bill"
The anti.sivcr republicans being in
control OF the house, blocked silver leg
isation until sufficient pressure had
been brought to bear upon the less de-
termined silver men in the republican
party to induce them to except the
Window bill as q substitute for free coin
age.
That measure passed the house by
about 80 majority, the pronounced free
coinage men voting against it.
The bill provided for the purchase OF
Az million ounces OF silver bullion each
month, to be paid for in treasury notes
created ior the purpose. These notes
were to he legal tender except where
otherwise stipulated in the contract,
and were made redeemable in gold, at
the option OF the government, in silver
dollars, or in silver bullion, at the op-
tion OF the holder OF the notes.
Before passing, it had, however, been
amended so as to admit OF free coinage
when the bullion was at par that is,
worth l.29 per ounce.
The Importance OF this amendment
was overlooked by many people at the
time,
The senate rcll@rd to concur, and the
matter went to conference committee.
There the AZ million dollars was strick.
rL ~, .MlaaAsaM. number oi "ounc-

es substituted; the provision Tor
free coinage when parity was reached al
sodropped, and the notes were made re-
deemable simply in coin,-which OF
course, meanes either gold or silver.
In the latter form the bill passed both
houses and became law.
1t received the name OF "The Sher-
mau Law" from the circumstance that
Senator Sherman was Il prominent
mem Der OF tie conference committee.
If the free coinage clause had been
retained and the law had been fairly ex.
ecuted, it is not unreasonable to believe
that it might have settled the silver
question. Under its operation, as it
was, silver rose to Sl.20 per ounce.
With free coinage in prospect, the own
ers OF the bullion would naturally have
held it back, hoping thereby to raise
the market price to Sl.29, when free
coinage would have taken effect, and in
all probability held it at that point.
But the gold men opposed it for the
same reason. Processing a desire to
raise silver to parity with gold, they
were afraid OF having the market
pulled" And yet almost every mar
ket quotations OF anything in Wall
street is the result OF the manipula-
tions OF the "bullS" and the clears
For time the beneficial effects OF the
Sherman law were quite apparent.
The monetary stringency than existing
in Wall street was relieved by the
monthly issues OF treasury notes, and
business improved. But in the latter
part OF 1890 the great banking house OF
Barring Brothers in London failed,
threatening disaster to the entire com
mercial world. The Bank OF England
was hard pressed and borrowed $4,000
/ OUU III HOlu lIOul INV lpdlh VI IlNhNN
Large blocks OF American securities
were returned to this country and
thrown upon the market, and during
1891 about $6S, 100000, OF gold were ex'
ported. Still business moved along
smoothly. As gold was exported the
Sherman notes took its place, and while
financial storms were raging in Europe
and even away off in far Australia, in
America all was serene, in the fall ol
1892.
The gold standardsts have ALWAYS II
heart been opposed to the sherman law
and had intended 10 lore" its appeal Il
the earliest possible day.
Mr.. Cleveland was u strong friend o
the gold standard, and Immediately mp
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1896-04-22

on his election an effort was made TO
bring about its repeal In the 52I con.
gress this effort was made, and failed.
But early in 1893 trouble began to
brew. The great bankers OF New York
demanded the repeal OF the Sherman
law, and eXerted all OF their influence
to that end. They refused to extend
credit, alleging that they could not safe
ly do so until that law was out OF the
way. In many eases they called in
their loans, forcing II large number OF
banks into liquidation, and thousands
OF business houses went down in ruin.
The greatest panic OF history struck
the country, and idleness poverty and
suffering cast their blackest shadows
into every quarter OF the land.
| 1t is one OF the marvels OF the age
that it was seriously caimel, and by
many good people honestly believed
that a law which up to the spring ol
1893 had oeen undenahly beneficial in
its working, which had stood as II break
water when the tidef OF financial trouble
were running high in gold STANDARD
countries, was the cause Of the disturb
ance which finally reached our shores.
The Mckinley law was upon the stat
ute books during that period, and yet
lifelong advocates OF tariff reform sud.
denly forgot for time their antipathy
to protection, and insisted that the Shcr-
man law was the Jonah. Republicans,
some OF whom claimed to be genuine hi
metalliSts, joined in the hue and cry
against the Silver law, apparently hop
ing to thus protect the Mckinley law.
Mr.. Cleveland was elected upon the
tariff reform issue, and yet lac at once
became imbued with the irenzicd idea
that the repeal oi the Sherman law was
the one great and overshadowing issue
before the people.
Here we were in the midst ol II 'mcn-
ey famine" and 1t vas actually claimed
that the Sherman law, whith was Civ
