Our immigrants of 300 years ago
brought with them the low soft voices
Of their English progenitors; In the will
derness that received them they felt
the awe Of great solitudes and must
for a time have spoken In subdued
tones, as do the wanderers to-day in
the remote valleys of the great noun

our western wilds. But, as the woods
have been cleared away and the prair
les have come under cultivation, and
cities have multiplied, we have learn
ed to address each other in voices like
so many peacocks on housetops ex-
changing views of the dlsturbers Of

one has mentioned as incidents of our

,sHERMAN's TWO SPEECHES.

Sherman's plea for labor in the SEN
ate Of the United States in 1876: We
are producing in this country this year,
as estimated by DR.. Linderman. some
$40.00O.000 in silver bullion. He esti-
O0O, 1000, of which $4,000, 900 will be
silver. Why not utilize this silver ~
legal tender? / admit that II It Ia made
legal tender, equal to gold. 1t being
metal not SO valuable, 1t would drive
the gold from the country. and the sill
yer alone would remain. By limiting It
to a thousand dollars in one payment,
ninety-nine transactions out Of every
one hundred will be transacted with 1t.
And all business between individuals
not bankers, between the mechanic and
employer, between farmers and their
merchants, and all wages, and indeed
thousands of transactions which under
lie society broad and deep, would be
in this coin. The large transactions
between the bankers and those between
this and foreign nations would con-
tinue to be in gold, but the silver
would remain here as the coin Of the
people, and the laboring man as we'll
as the small dealer, and indeed Of all
those persons who do not deal in mil
lions at clip.
therefore, Mr.. President, look upon
this as one of the great steps toward
resumption. 1t is by utilizing the Sill
yer which we produce in large amounts
in this country and making 1t legal
tender as 1t was heretofore. It re-
L.

people. 1t is also a legal tender in
many other parts of Europe. France
is one of the great commercial nations,
and they have retained the double
standard: and from my reading be-
lieve II Germany could 90 back to the
double standard 1t would do It most
cheerfully. They believed that the
large amount of French coin which had

John Sherman's plea for labor at
Columbus in 1896: But by far the
greatest injury resulting from the
workingmen. Their wages are now
based upon money of the highest value.
upon gold coin Of standard value. I'm
der free coinage OF silver the value OF
tha- ailYer dollar will fall to So cents
in gold. or. as have already said, the
hundred cents Of the gold dollar will
be worth 1870 cents of the silver dollar.
With free coinage Of silver every work
ingman can and ought to demand
enough silver for his daily wages to
be equal to the purchasing power Of
his present wages in gold. The strug-
gle between workingman and employer
will then commence and no one knows
better than the workingman how diff
cult 1t is to get an advance of pay.
We have strikes and strife enough
now. when the workingman gets his
pay in gold coin or its equivalent, but
what will be the condition when he is
paid in cheaper money Of the same
nominal amount, but Of less purchasing
power? Every sentiment of justice
will be on the side of the workingman
in his struggle for good money or in
creased wages in cheap money. OF all
the evils which government can in
fict none can be greater than cheap
money, whether of coin or paper.
The question will never be settled
until you determine the simple ques-
tion whether the laboring man is en-
titled to have a gold dollar II he earns
1t, or whether you are going to cheat
him with something else. Gold has
made the world respect 1t all the time
The English people once thought they
could get along without gold for a
while, but they had to come back to it.
With the free coinage Of silver gold
will be demonetized. Nothing can be
more certain than that the cheaper
money only will circulate. The United
States has thus far maintained Its sill
yer coins at parity with gold coins
only by its exclusive monopoly Of COIN
age and by limiting the amount. but
with free coinage OF silver there could
be no limitation. Silver bullion in
every form will be pressed upon the
mints and with the mandatory duty
Of free coinage, silver dollars will coon
fill the channels Of circulation and the
gold dollar will be boarded or will be
quoted and sold as commodity at
about 1S0 cents Of the silver coin. 5il-
yer win stand as the par Of value and
gold will be quoted at its commercial
value. SEQ John Sherman's speech

Rich and Poer.

In society we fnd two extremes, the
very rich and the very poor. The rich
God has made the stewards Of his
earthly goods. He gives to them the
ease and the advantages that accom-
pany wealth. On the other hand he has
given to the poor his spiritual riches.
He tries their souls in the fiery fur
mace of tribulation, but he has prepared
for them kingdom Of glory. As the
poor are dependent upon the rich
for the necessaries of life, 30 the rich.
by the grace Of God. are dependent up
on the poor for the graces of salvation.

The princess Of Wales il not cramped
for pocket money. and various other
royal ladies have all they want to
spend. but the Princes Angelins was
probably the only princes in the world
who never had to pay for anything or
even utter the magic words charge
It," says the New York World.
The Princess Angeline never had to
pay for anything: she could buy all her
soul desired-a bill was never sent
her nor to her brother nor to any other
member Of her family. and size was
only an American Indian princess.
Recently Angeline died, aged at least
100. and 1t IL supposed con-
siderably more. She never told
her age. for the reason that
she didn't know It. She was the
daughter Of old Chief Seattle, the gen.
tieman after which the town of that
name II called. Once Seattle was own
er Of all the territory along the shore
Of Puget sound. now in the United
States. In those days the Duwamish
tribe was a populous and warlike ma
tion. and 1t was while the white set
tiers were still weak and scattered that
the Princess Angeline did the work that
made her able to trade on her face in
the town Of Seattle. .iis.|.. q.
When the whites began to encroach
on tho Indians hunting grounds the
usual friction arose and 1t was not
long before conspiracy was formed
to overwhelm the whites dwelling
along the shores Of Puget sound at one
blow. The Princess Angeline had been
kindly treated by the settlers and at the
risk Of her life set out to the ham
lot Of Seattle to warn them OF their
danger.
The white men, thus prepared, armed
themselves for an attack and had no
dimculty In repelling their savage foes.
They realized the danger they had
30 narrowly escaped. however, and
were properly grateful to the Indian
woman, which was bit odd The
citizens of Seattle in body offered to
build her house and support her in
what an Indian would consider luxury
for the rest Of her life. But she pre-
ferred the free life of the wilderness
and went back to her people. Never
theless she accepted the freedom of
the city of Seattle. and orders were
left at all the shops that she should
have whatever she took fancy to- no
matter what the cost might be. Tho
richest men Of the town stood ready
to defray the bills.
Thus the Princess Angeline gradually
became public character and living
monument to what is said to be ex-
tremely rare-the gratitude of city.
Her face was familiar to every one
in the northwest. 1t was stamped on
spoons. used for advertising purposes
and on every article in the nature Of
q souvenir Of Seattle and the vicinity.
During the last few weeks of her life
she suffered greatly. but would submit
to NO medical treatment. She fought
10 desperately when an attempt was
made to take her 70 , hospital that It
had to be given up. Her life. which
with care might have been prolonged.
was thus sacrificed by her superstitions.
