THAT CRIME OF '73.

If in 1873 a man had taken a IS gold
piece and silver dollar and smashed
them each with a hammer the gold
piece would still be worth So and the
silver dollar still be worth $1.03. OF
course no one was paying out silver
dollars which were worth a premium.
In fact, specie did not circulate at all
except on the Pacific coast. If today
a man will take So gold piece and
silver dollar and smash them with
hammer the gold piece will still be
worth S. and the silver dollar will be
worth only 53c. The demand for the
recoinage of silver did not come u6tiI
after the enormous find of silver in
the Rockey mountains, and then the
price Immediately began to falL-be-
cause there was no demand for Con-
gress passed a law providing forthe
purchase of enough silver to coin
from 100000 to 100000 standard sill
yer dollars a month. This was the
Bland act of 1873. Yet, in face of this
largly increased demand, the price of
steadily went down. In 1890 was
passed the Sherman act, which pro-
vided for the purchase of 100000
ounces of silver per month. Yet so
great was the output and so small the
demand that even then silver fell rap
idly, and when the act was repealed
in 1893 the silver dollar contained only
a little more than SOC. worth of bull

POLLY WORRIED THE NURSE.
Learned to Cry just Like tho Baby
hid.

A nurse at Broomhill complains that
she has a difficulty with parrot, says
the Weekly Telegraph. Polly's cage is
in the nursery and she has learned to
initiate baby's voice when crying with
wonderful accuracy. One afternoon
recently the baby's mother came run
ming into the. nursery because she
heard the wailing cry, not of one, but
of two babies. Baby was crying as
though his heart would break, and
Polly, on her perch in the cage, was sob
bling doleful accompaniment, while
nurse alternately soothed the one and
scolded the other.
"It's that drafted parrot, ma'am,'
she said. 'She's that aggrayatin'.
Just because won't give her lump
Of sugar she starts crying like child
and that sets baby off, so that they
fair worrit my life out between them"
"Give me the child" said the mistress,
scarce able to repress a smile at nurses
distress, and as she went along the
passage she heard the girl say:
"Oh, you are an aggravatin' insect IL
there ever was. Give over crying, can't
your" And in reply Polly sobbed loud
er than ever, so that the cage was
shaken with.the violence of her woe.

FROM MCKINLEY SPEECHES.

The American people hold the finan-
cial honor of our government as sa-
cred as our flag, and can be relied up
on to guard it with the same sleep
less vigilance.
Our creed embraces an honest dollar
an untarnished national credit, ade-
quate revenues for the uses of the
government, protection to labor and
industry, preservation of the home
market and reciprocity which will eX-
tend our foreign markets.
Our trouble is not with the charac-
ter of the money that we have, but
with the threat to debase it. We have
the world over and unqueStioned by
any people. Then, too, we had unex-
ampled credit and prosperity.
Not content with the Inauguration
of the ruinous policy which has
brought down the wages of the labor
err and the price of farm products, its
advocates now offer a new policy
which will diminish the value of mon
ey in which wages and prices are paid.
What we want is sound policy finan-
cial and industrial, which will give
courage and confidence to all, for
when that is done the money now en-
ployed, because of the fear for the flu
ture and lack of confidence in invest
ment, will quickly appear in the chan
nels of trade.
The money of the United States,
must not only be current and every
kind and form of it, whether
| of paper, silver or gold, must be as
good as the best in the world. 1t must
not only be current at its full face
value at home, but it must be counted
at par in any and every commercial
centre of the globe.
The employment of the idle money
we already have, in gainful pursuits,
will put every idle man in the country
at work and when there is work there
is wages, and when there are work
and wages there are consumers who
constitute the best market for the pro-
ducts of our soil.
The platform adopted by the Re-
publican national convention has
my unqualified approval. 1t is a
matter of qualification to me, as am
sure it must be to you and Republic
cans everywhere and to all our people,
that the expression of its declaration
of principles are so direct, clear and
emphatic. They are too plain and pos
tive to leave any chance for doubt or
question as to their purport and mean
ing.
Recent events have imposed upon
the patriotic people of this country
| responsibility and duty greater than
any since the civil war. Then it was
| a struggle to preserve the government
of the United States; now 1t Is a
struggle to preserve the financial hon
or of the government of the United
States. Then it was contest to save
the Union; now it is contest to save
spotless it's credit. Then section was
arrayed against section; now men of
all sections can unite, and will unite,
to rebuke the reputation of our obli-
cations and the debasement of our
currency.

MR.. RocKEFELLER.s JOKE.

1t is a curious fact that John d.
Rockefeller, who has given millions
of dollars to the Chicago University,
never saw the institution until he
paid it his first visit few days ago.
1t was also the first time that he had
been seen by most Of the faculty and
students. That he was given an en-
thusiastic welcome goes without say
ing.
Presently Mr.. Rockefeller was pre-
vailed upon to say a few words, and
showed himself an unconscious hum
orist by remarking, THE good Lord
gave me the money, and how could !
Withhold IL from Chicago?" He said
that the University was the best in
vestment he had ever made, and ad-
ded, TT is but a beginning sentl-
ment which was greeted with pro-
longued and frantic applause. When
he could again make himself heard ne
finished the sentence-"and you are
going on to finish the work" which
very neatly turned the joke upon the
audience.

BEN BUTLER AT A BALD.

Gen. Butler was defeated for CUB
ernatorial honors in 1871, when he was
the Republican nominee and in 1878
and 1879, when he was the candidate
of the Greenbackers and one wing of
the Democrats. He was elected in
1882 and defeated in 1888. The story
is an incident that happened in the
1873 campaign, when he had Governor
Talbot as his opponent. Both were
anxious to win and party feeling ran
high, as it always did when Butler
was a candidate. The two were in
vited to attend ball given by labor
organization whose votes each candi-
date was DESTROYS of securing. They
were pretending to enjoy themselves
hugely, when the floor manager came
and asked Butler to lead a cotillion.
This was a poser for the general and
he began to get hot and show it. Gov.
Talbot looked over with his best cam
paign smile and said in tone of
pleading:
What, don't you dance, General?'
mo" growled Buttler.' Il don't
dance. / make 1t my business to
make other people dance. Washing
ton Post.
