CRIME AT LAST TRIUMPHs.

House.
CRIME AT LAST TRTUAfPHS.
The third and finally successful
movement for the decentralization of
silver, was the introduction in the
House of Represen ~ tives on the 9th of
March, 1871, "A bill (No. 1920 re-
vising and amending the laws relative
to minis, assay offices and coinage of
the United States 1t was introduced
by Mr.. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the Committee ON Coinage,
ard reported fayoraIbly by him
from that committee on the 9th Of JAN
uary, 1872 He informed the House
that it had been prepared in the Treas
urY Department for the purpose of
codifying and simplifying the mint
laws, and he and his colleague on
the committee Maynard, of Ten
nessee- both stated that it was a mere
revision of the mint laws, the only inn
portant change being the creation of a
Mint Bureau in the Treasury Depart
ment.
Tt was recommitted January 10, and
again reported with amendments Feb
ruary 8, 1s72-this time by Hon.
Samuel Hooper, of Massachusetts,. He
stated that the bill reduced the weight
of the silver dollar from 4121b grains to
384, but he did not state that it propos-
ed, as it did, to demonetize silver by
making the silver dollar legal tender
only i'm sums not to exceed SIS. Mr.
Clarkson Potter, of New York, how
ever, debated that provision, which he
objected to as being ill-timed, and he
also strongly objected to the other
features of the bill.
OBJECT OF THE BILL.
The main object of the bill, which
Mr.. Hooper had carefully concealed,
having been thus disclosed by Mr.. Pot
ter, the measure was apparently aban-
doned, but on the 27th of May follow
ing, after it had slumbered nearly four
months, Mr.. Hooper again called it up
for the purpose of moving a substitute.
1t was never read, Mr.. Hooper assuring
the House that it had been submitted
to the different gentlemen in the House
who had taken special, interest in the
bill, and that it had met with univer-
sal appreciation in the form in which
he offered it. This was equivalent
to saying that it no longer contained
the provisions objected TO by Mr.. Pot
ter.
Mr. Hooper answered every question
concerning it, but no question was ask
ed or statement made as to the silver
dollar or the limitation of its legal
tender quality to IS. This statement
can easily be verified by reference
to the Congressional Globe, part 5, sec
ond session, Forty-second Congress,
pages 1882 and 1888.
The bill then passed the House in the
substitute form under a suspension
Of the rules.
The reading of the letter produced
pronounced stir in the assemblage.
Ex-Gov. Johnson proposed to issue the
the document as campaign argument.
Coming from such source, the accdsa-
ton against Senator Sherman cannot
but have painful force among the
friends of the Ohio statesman. Author
tiles are furnished by Col. Gorham
to back up every assertion made by.
him.

THE SECOND ATTEMPT.

After describing the first attempt
to accomplish the demonetization Of
the white metal, Col. German says that
a second unsuccessful attempt at the
characterization of silver was inaugu-
rated on the 25th of April, 1870, by the
introduction in the Senate by Senator
the laws relating to the mint, assay
offices and coinage of the United
States"
According to this statement the bill
was framed in the Treasury Depart
ment by a distinguished body of ex-
perts." 1t contained II sections, the
fifteenth of which gave a list of all
silver coins to be thereafter issued,
and the eighteenth of which prohibit
ed the issuance of any not named there
in. The silver dollar was omitted from
the list, and the minis were thereby to
be closed against the deposits of silver
bullion for coinage. But the bill CON
tanned no reference to this fact, which
might be said to appear only by not
appearing. Nor did Mr.. Sherman call
the attention of the Senate to this pro-
posed momentous revolution in our
monetary system.
On the contrary he reported decep-
tive amendment to the bill, imposing
a charge of three-tenths of per cent.
''for coinage, whether the gold and sill
yer be deposited, be coined or cast into
bars or ingots." He vigorously sup
ported this amendment, which con-
tanned, by necessary implication, the
assertion that under the bill silver bull
lion could still be deposited for coin
age, when he knew that section 18 ex-
pressly provided that it could not.
No better proof could be needed that
the Senators he addressed were una
ware of the omissions by him of the
silver dollar than the fact that no one
appeared to observe this gross incon-
sistency..
The bill passed the Senate january
10, 1871, but was never acted on by the
House.

CAN'T ENDORSE 1T.
A Republican Who Cannot See How
the Gold Standard Is Of Benefit
to the Working Men.

Another dyed-in.the-woo Republican
cannot endorse the st. Louis platform.
II ere is why cannot endorse 1t: Because
1t pronounces in favor of Wall street and
against the farmer the producer, and the
laborer. 1t contracts currency, contracts
the price of all commodities except
money, throws millions Of men out of
employment, makes it impossible for
men to pay their debts, makes it possible
for few speculators in gold stocks to toy
with governments, and virtually enslaves
the millions for the few This process has
been going on for twenty years and
more, especially since 1873, for things
have conspired to bring about the present
condition of things:
First-The debasement of the green
backs, making them non-receivable for
import duties and interest on government
bonds, thus making gold merchapta
article,a thing Of Wall street speculation
This infamous scheme was concocted
during the civil war.
Second-The monopoly of coinage by
the act Of congress In debarring private
citizens the right we enjoy, under the
constitution as much so as the right TO
make standard half bushels standard
yardsticks, etc.
Third-The debasement of silver in
1878, and In 1873, making the silver
dollar mere token money redeemable In
gold, then the silver purchase law, MAX
ing by construction, these silver certi6-
Gates redeemable in gold, and then pre-
venting or discouraRing the circulation of
silver among the people.
Fourth-The contraction Of the cur
renoy steadily pursued for years, calling
in all the fractional currency destroying
millions of our greenbacks, and putting
their face value in gold interest bearing
bonds, thus withdrawing all this currency
from circulation, the bonds becoming
merohantable articles for speculation or
lying idle eating with their interest like
a canker at the nations breast, ana the
industries of the people.

A GREAT
Wheat Maker !
WHAT WE CLAIM FOR 1T:

1t permanently improves the soil. 1t is
a natural fertilizer. 1t contains no sui
phuric acid. Being a natural fertilizer it
is good for all crops. 1t protects crops
during drouths, as it attracts more mois-
ture than any other fertilizer. 1t ma.
lures larger and better crops, and as q
quick germinator and vigorous crop
forcer, it is far superior to all chemical
fertilizers known. To any user of fertil.
izer, who will make a trial test on wheat,
corn, etc., in competition with some well
known chemical fertilizer, according to
our instructions, and report the results
to us, we will furni h free all the Natural
Plant Food necessary to make the tests.
Gardeners will find this fertilizer espe-
cially adapted to their wants for growing
nice celery plants and vegetables of all
kinds. Florists will find it especially
fine for producing thrifty and beautiful
