The manifestations of interest In BIZ
metallism abroad are most marked in
France and Germany. English bi-met-
%allists appear to have lost their heads,
and are unable to take advantage Of
the existing situation, A recent tele.
gram from London says: Encouraged
by the emperor's recent study of cur
rency problems, the bi-metallists Of the
relchstag propose, this autumn, to take
a census on the subject. Three mem
bers OF the German government, in
Guiding the chancellor, express a dosire
to reopen negotiations with England
early next spring. Seeing. however,
the strong views of Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, the English chancellor OF ex.
chequer, and the apathy of even Mr..
Balfour when bi.metallism becomes q
question of public policy, the German
approaches stand a small chance oil
success" This state Of affairs must
soon convince the French and German
bi.metallists that if any action Is se-
cured, it must be secured independent
of Great Britain, for the money-bags
of that country appear to be control
ling its brains at present.

PRESIDENT e. b. ANDREWS, of Brown
university, has announced himself a
believer in free coinage of silver by
this country alone, and his belief that
such action would produce a practical
parity between gold and silver at one
coinage ratio. This is an interesting
statement, because a few months ago
Mr.. Andrews believed free coinage i'm
polite, and he is a man who has long
been conceded to be an authority on
the silver question. He was one of our
representatives at the international
monetary conference Of 1892, and is a
well-known writer on the subject. His
change of opinion, following a similar
change by Cernuschi and other Euro
pean bi-metallists, indicates that the
best educated minds on this subject
are coming round to the opinion that
1t is perfectly safe for the United States
to try free coinage.

Senator Teller, on the other hand, is

Pueblo had another murder last
| night, which, as is generally the case,
occurred in the disreputable part of the
city where the Italian saloons abound.
An Italian was the victim. Up to this
writing, the police have failed to locate
| the murderer. A Mexican oma who
was in company with the dead man,
when he was shot, is now in jail. She
steadily refuses to tell who did the
killing, but the police believe they can
worm the secret from her. These low
Italian dives are a cp,se to the city,
and give the police more trouble than
any other part of the city, and the
wonder Is how the keepers. of these
vile dens can manage to get a license,
or having obtained it, why the police
fail to shut these places that are an
eye-sore to the city.
The concert to be given on Wednes.
day night, the proceeds of which are to
be used in sending a representative

the features of the concer will be the
reading of Bryan's celebrated speech,
made at the Chicago convention.
Ed Grail, of this city. is the cham
pion unlucky man OF Pueblo. In the
eleven years of his married life, his
home has been %burglarized nine times,
and now if his home is o burglarized
for a few months, MIR. Grail feels as il
the burglar fraternity had gone back on
him.
Engineer Chas. Davenport, who was
killed IN yesterdays wreck near this

THE New York Journal, which is
conducting a very vigorous campaign
for free silver, has just published a
unique campaign document, describing
the wonderful formation of the nose,
throat and larynx of the Hon. William
j Bryan. The statement is signed by
"Frank E. Miller, M. D., throat sur
geon 10 Vanderbilt Clinic, visiting ply
stefan to St. Francis and consulting
throat surgeon to st. Joseph's Hospi-
tails" and looks very much like an aft
davit. The Journal seems to be under
the impression that Mr.. Bryan is an
applicant for an engagement either
by an opera company or by a dime
museum.

SOME NUTS TO CRACK.

Gold-standard organs represent that

whom anybody shall be indebted shall
be bound to receive silver dollars 10
payment of such debt, whether they
may be worth a dollar in gold or worth
no more than so per cent. Of gold coin,
and that the government will be
obliged to receive them at their face
value for taxes and duties on i'm
ports"
Well, now, let us see.
In the first place. although the bull
lion value Of the silver dollar is less
than go cents-due to legislation
against it-yet the silver dollar is ac-
cepted everywhere for It's face value,
and the government is obliged to re.
ceive it In payment Of all taxes and
imports, and the despised s'5S.cent"
silver dollar is a full legal tender.
If the despised 1853 cent silver dol
lar is accepted without hesitation as a
full legal tender now, In face Of the
disrepute with which congress tried TO
surround It, what reason is there to be-
lieve thatsthe silver dollar would not
be accepted as a full dollar and legal
tender under free coinageP g

Reneteiaries Of Cheap Money.

Every period of the depreciation of
the monetary unit has at once sent prices
up, the prices of the merchant, who gets
the news quickly, before those of the
farmer, who gets the news more slowly,
and long time before the wages Of the
laborer who cannot afford to hold his
labor out of market till he gets proper
tionate increase for IT, Fixed incomes
remain the same, and the rise of prices
inficts great suffering on their recipi-
ents. Wages remain the same for time
and rise slowly, and in the meantime
the laborers complain that prices have
gone up so that they cannot afford to buy
enough food and clothing. The farmer
gets two prices for all he sells and pays
two prices for all he buys, and is no bet
ter off than he was before the change
The benefciaries are debtors on obliga-
tions incurred before the change, and
these are not a very large class-many
Of them are also creditors and lose out
of one pocket while gaining into the
the spectators, some of
whom always make profit in panics
and crises and periods of sudden changes
Of values out Of the losses Of others. -

rightly used. The many, who live bet.

less expenditure, by more promptly

the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas

beneficial properties of perfect lax

HoNG3TY TIE BEST POLICY.
Why President Hayes In 1878 Vetoed the
Standard Silver Dollar Coinage Act.

Standard Silver Dollar Coinage Act.
President Hayes believed that our ma
tional honor could not be too jealousy
guarded In this he differed radically
from our 16 to statesmen, who are
anxious not only to see our government
repudiate one-half Of it's debts, but to
see one half of all debts repudiated. 1t
might be well for these hasty statesmen
to ponder some of Hayes reasons for
vetoing the act (passed over his head)
to coin and make legal tender silver dol
lars worth, in gold, only 80 or 90 cents.
He said that the right to pay duties in
silver or in silver certificates for silver
deposits will, when they are issued in
sufficient amount to circulate, put an
end to the receipt Of revenue in gold,
and thus cc-2pel the payment of silver
for both the principal and interest of the
public debt. :
He said that nearly 5000, 900, 900 OF
the funded debt then outstanding was
issued since 1878, when gold alone was
the coin for which the bonds were sold,
and gold alone was the coin in which
both parties to the contract understood
that the bonds would be paid. These
bonds, he continues, entered into the
markets Of the world. They were paid
for in gold when silver had greatly de-
preciated and when no one would have
bought them if it had been understood
that they would bepaid in silver.
He believed that, in the Judgment Of
mankind, it would be an act Of bad faith
not to guarantee that pre-existing debts
should be paid in as good money as was
legal tender when these debts were con
other words, that the govern
ment should not legalize the breaking of
contracts. "The standard Of value, he
said, should not be changed without
the consent of both parties to the con-
tract. National promises should be kept
with unfinching fidelity. There is no
power to compel nation to pay it's
debts Its credit depends on it's honor.
The nation owes what it has led or al
lowed its creditors to expect? / cannot
approve bill which in my Judgment
the violation Of sacred obi
cations The obligation Of the public
faith transcends all questions Of profit
Or public advantage. Its unquestionable
maintenance is the dictate as well Of the
highest expediency as of the most neces-
sary duty and should ever be carefully
guarded by the executive, by congress
and by the people. =
He closed his message by saying that
sit is my firm conviction that if the
country is to be benefited by silver
coinage it can be done only by the issue
IF silver dollars Of full value, which
will defraud no man. A currency worth
less than it purports to be worth will in
he end defraud not only creditors, but
Ill who are engaged in legitimate bust
ness, and none more surely than those
Who are dependent on their daily labor
or their daily bread"
