ingersoil on Silver.

Colonel Robe~t G. 1ngersoll may not
know all about ''Moses and his mistakes"
but he does know something about silver
and the manner in which it was demonc-
tized. The things he does know in this
relation he states in the follow character
istic manner:
l said | would one or two words on such
vulgar things as gold Or silver lam salts
fed, as | am that | live, that the few who
control the debt the currency, the money
of the world, have combined either consci-
ously, or unconsciously, to make the debtor
pay more than the creditor has a right to
ask. The tendency has always been in
this world to put the burdens on those least
able to bear them. In barbarian countries
the women have to do all the work simply
because they are weaker-that is ALL And
the others being stronger do not expend
their strength in making the weak one
work. This is precisely the same ia our
civilized society today, Between the poor
and the rich if the burden is to be borne in
this country it is by the poor-always
They are the first TO suffer. Let the blast
of war blow over this country: who goes
to wal? The miIionaires? Not one. Who
goes? The great presidents of corporations ,
No. The meu who preside over great
vaults of gold? Not much! The poor man
goes because nine times out Of ten the poor
man is the more patriotic. The poor bear
the burden Of this country and of this world.
Only few wears ago our money was gold
and silver-money that had been the money
Of man for thousands of years Our silver
wa. demonetized and gold made the stand
ard. There i, no man in the United States
with ingtnuity enough to account for the
demonstration Of silver i'll 1873 There is
not one l do not think The few should
have the right to combine to increase the
value of what the people called money
against the debtor and in favor Of ali the
creditors

City Robbed Through the Means of the
Stuffed lay Roll.
CHICAGO, May 15.-City employees testi-
fed before the civil service commission
and told on oath that many men had been
carried on the city pay rolls who never
rendered any service for the money they
received. They testified further that Fore
man Bmckcn and Assistant Foreman
Hennebery had on number Of occasions
received the pay envelopes Of certain fic-
titiOus characters and divided the money
between them. They testified that up to
three months ago they had themselves
drawn pay without ever seeing pay roll.
One man swore that Foreman Bracken
manipulated the roll SO as to conceal the
names on the roll so that fraud might not
be discovered.
In addition to this, evidence was given
showing that the names Of city employees
were forged TO the rolls, and that pay was
drawn IN the names Of former employees
long after they had ceased to work for the
city. n was also shown that in fear Of an
investigation Foreman James o. Bracken
and his assistant, Henncbcrry, had tried
by threats and persuasion 10 induce city
employees to feign sickness or to leave the
