In this connection considerable
interest attaches to the prices of
canned goods fifty years ago as com

TIE case is well put by POwderly
to the Knights of Labor when he
says:
81 believe gold, silver, and parer
should circulate at par, that neither
should be driven from circulation
If Bryan is elected and a free coin
age law is passed.it will. as / see it,
drive gold from circulation. and we
will be on a single silver basis. If
Mckinley is elected silver will be
retained in its place as part of the
money Of the nation, gold will not
be driven out.and all kinds Of money
will be of equal value and purchasing
power in the hands of the American
people"
Here is the utterance Of a man
whose good faith will hardly be
doubted bv the workingmen Of the
country, and who declares that in
his judgment it is best for them to
take no chances, but vote against
Bryan.

ing at best is from hand to mouth, and
when the time comes to plan the fall tour
the thimhlcrigger has usually to "strike'
that thrifty friend with bank account
and a political pull, Johnny Green of the
Bowery, for q stake to enable him to
begin the season properly equipped.
Such is the life Of the shell man. I have
not, understand, described the life of the
average shell man, but of the expert.
But, then, the hundreds or maybe
thousands of lesser lights of the profess
sion lead just the same life, only great
ly toned down. Their travels are not so
extensive, their winnings not So great.
They spend Il greater proportion of their
time on the Bowery and go to Johnny
Green's far more frequently.
Among the gamblers thimblcriggers
are known as ''surc thing men," They
never lose. 1t is all matter of sleight of
hand. 1t is said that Hermann, the magi-
clan. is an expert at the trick and could
make n fortune if he chose to turn his
powers in that direction.
The fact is, the pea, so called, is never
under any Of the shells VIXEN the farmer
lays down his money, Int is deity held
between the third and little fingers of the
operators hand. So the farmer might
never find it.
The game is worked in this way: Three
English walnut shells or small boxes art
turned over in u row ON n beard, and i
tiny ball of loose spongy rubber, called tn,
pea, is put under one of them. Their
the shells are pushed deftly about and
their relative places changed before tho
farmers eyes, ard he is asked to bet any
1t,Nnunt that isp I no hall nnGpl
which the Yea rests.
While DC is debating, another man, ap
parently farmer, bets $40 and lifts Tho
shell. There lies the pea, ard the mar
gets his money. But when tic farmer bet.
the pea is not there and willie he lock.
his chagrin the operator sn.ilingly turn.
up ancthcr shell, and there 1t is.
This sort Of lcgcrdenain, that has to b
face TO face with the victim, requires Dcrv,
and skill of no mean order.
The familiar old sleght Of hand gam,
known as three card monte Is now seldom
seen on the fair grounds The reason is i
Is played out. Everybody is Ion to il. ,
Ii is tradition. But there is yet on
further reason for TIE lack Of success which
meets this old and familiar game. 1t i
that it has 10 do with playing cards. Man,
a sporty farmer would nibble at tn
gambler game did the gambler rot scar
him Oh IN the first place with show o
that old bugaboo. the Playing card.
This Is especially true in Connecticut
the sure thing gamblers paradise. Blu
| there are and can he TO religious OF othc
scruplcs against PEAS and English wainiI
shells. The farmer is thus induced to loci
on. The rest follows.
So the shell game still holds its Owl
and Is likely to do 80 to the end Of time.
