lNeERsoLL ON MONEY.


The Colonel States Some Plain Truths In
His Own Unique Way.
Following is an extract from the
speech Of Col. Robert G. Lngersoll at
Chicago ON October s:
Money that is money needs no guar
antee, needs no hacker; it is always
good. No matter how many nations 60
down to dust good money remains for
ever the same We have q man running
for the presidency on three platforms,
with two vice presidents, that says
money Is q creature Of law. II the
government can make money by law,
why should the, government collect
taxes? According to Mr.. Bryan, our
fathers were the friends Of silver, and
yet our dear old fathers in all their
lives minted only 100000 Of these sa-
cred dollars. Now, see what the enc
mics of silver have done. Since 1873
the enemies Of silver have coined over
43O,OOO,OOO OF these dollars, and yet
silver kept going down We are coin
ing now over $2,OOO,OOO . month, and
silver keeps going down.
Senator Jones, Of Nevada, in 1873,
voted for the law Of 1873. He said.
from his speech il the senate, that God
had made gold the standard. He said
that gold was the mother Of civiliza-
ton. Whether he has heard from God
since or not l do not know. But now he
is on the other side. Senator Stewart Of
Nevada, was there at the time, but voted
for the act Of 1873, and said that gold
was the only standard. He has changed
his mind. No government cm afford to
be clipper on coins.
A great republic cannot afford to
stamp lie on silver or gold or paper.
Honest money for an honest people, is
sued by an honest nation. You cannot
make paper dollar without taking a
dollars worth Of paper. We must have
paper that represents money. Iwantit
issued by the government, and want
behind every one of these paper dollars
either a dollar in gold or a silver
dollar worth 100 cents, so that every
greenback under the flag can lift up it's
hands and swear: II know that my re-
deemer liveth." That was where was
70 years ago, and that is where am to-
night.
For nations and individuals, at all
times, everywhere and forever, honesty
is the best policy. Better be an honest
bankrupt than rich thief. Poverty can
loM in it's hand the jewel houor-a
level that outshines all other gems. A

artistic in roses, smilax and pepper
boughs, the effect being enhanced in
beauty by the soft glow of Japanese
lanterns. These were used also on the

was assisted in making the evening a
success which it proved by Mrs. Scherer.

DEATH BY DROWNING.
Two Minutes Under Water Sufacient Z
Cause Fatal Inconsistencies.

Drowning is quicker death than most
people suppose Inscnsibility is said to be-
gin IL about one minute and fatal uncon-
neighborhooA of tive. Even practaced
divers cannot remain under water more
than minute and half, and it Is almoO
fatal to remain beneath The surface lOngeS
than that
At Navarino, whero there are many ex-
pert divers who plunge into tho sea after
sponges, not ono was found who could re-
main under water for two minutes. In the
Red sea the Arab divers generally remain
down ono and quarter minutes, while at
Ceylon the pearl fishers can seldom stay
below for even one minute. There Is q
case on record at Falmouth, England,
where diver had descended so feet and
on giving the signal was drawn up slowly,
SO 1t was two minutes before he reached
the surface. Blood ran from his ears and
nose, and he was insensible. He died with
out speaking.
Insensibility, however, does not always
involve death, for in many cases person
may be resuscitated by the use Of energetic
measures. The bringing to of people who
have been under water for five consecutive
minutes, however, is considered doubtful by
physicians There have been extraordinary
cases related, nevertheless, where persons
have been brought back to life after hav-
ing been submerged for 5 or 20 minutes,
but it Is probable that they have come to
tho surface again and again during that
time. New York Journal.
