thirteen times in the proceedings of
the two houses, and the debates on
this bill alone cover over IA columns
of the reports of the two houses.
Like the bill Of 1853, when first in
troduced it made no mention of the
dollar coin. Before its passage it
was amended at the request of the
members of congress from the west
ern states so as to provide for the
coinage of the trade dollar. The
silver dollar standard, 4124 grain
dollar) was not mentioned for the
reason that it was not in circulation
for years prior to the inception of
this act, and it was thought that as it
had proved impossible to keep the
standard dollar in circulation it was
an unnecessary expense to keep on
coming it. The trade dollar was
placed in the bill for the reason that
the silver states wanted it for trade
purposes in the east(Japan, China, etc.
These countries were doing business
with a dollar Of the same weight as
the trade dollar and readily took the
trade dollar in exchange for their
products, and by making it the same
weight as the dollar they used, ex-
change could be carried on without
the necessity of computing its value.
The clause of the law of 1853 de-
monetizing silver was copied into
the law of 1878 and silver remained
legal tender to the extent of SIS. So
was the clause Of the law of 1858
providing for the coinage on govern
ment account copied into the law Of
1878. Thus it will be seen that the
provisions of the law of 1878 which
have been the subject of SO much
criticism by free silver orators and
advocates were copied from a law
passed twenty years prior to 1878.
La other words, the crime of 1878, if
a crime at all, was committed in 49,
SO, and the people were so we'll sat-
isfed with it after twenty years
experience that they actually re-
enacted it I! On Feb. %, 1878, an
act was passed entitled "An act to
authorize the coinage Of the standard ST.
yer dollar and to restore its legal tender
character" BY this act the coinage
of the standard silver dollar on gov
eminent account was provided for
and the silver dollar made full legal
tender-fully remonetized. The sill
yer dollar is now and has been ever
since 1878, full legal tender in the
payment of debts of any amount.
The Republican party did not de-
monetize silver !: it was demonetized
long before the Republican party
was born-but the Republican party
remonetized silver in 1878 and has
kept it remonetized ever since.

for which Messrs. Ellis and Lennon
carry special scenery, costumes, etc.
con the Potomac" is a thrilling
romance of love and war during the
exciting times of '61-'65, and is
founded on actual incidents that
occurred during the war, which
came in possession of Mr.. Ellis
while travelling in the south a num-
Der of years ago. The play is In
like most military plays, being non.
sectional and non partisan, and
is equally enjoyed by those who
wore the blue and those who wore
the gray, the war simply serving
for a plot or backbone on which
the characters move,

capital city of Texas, Austin, and
Gov. Sheldon said that it was the

One Of the bats held out by the
free siiyerites is that under free coin
age the debtor would be enabled to
pay his debts with one-half the
amount required under the present
standard. To do this, the price of
silver bullion would have to remain
unchanged. But Teller, St. John,
and Bryan assert that the price of
bullion would immediately advance
to S1.29 per ounce under free coin
age. If this Is so, it is hard to see
how the debtor would be helped, for
in that case all commodities would
remain ut the prices regulated by
the existing money standard.

A Study For Farmers.

In September, 1894, our exports of
agricultural products constituted 60. 81
per cent of all exports. This year in
September they formed but 60.e1 per
cent, loss of A. SO per cent. In Septem-
ber, 1892, they were 1853 per cent,
showing a loss this year of 11.72 per
cent. In September, 1891, they were
77.SS per cent of all exports, showing a
loss of 1907 for last September as COM
pared with 1891. This gives farmers an
idea of the manner in which the free
traders help them to capture the markets
of the world In actual value this year S
September loss was nearly so per cent,
the shipments of agricultural products
in September, 1891, being worth $685.
739, 533 and this year in September only
$34, ,699, 952, decrease of $29, 039, 581
