The Luetgert Case

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Unable to convince
the court that the prosecution in the Luet-
CERT case could furnish the defense with
duplicate stenographic report of the evil
dence on account of the inability of Luet-
CERT to pay the stenographers, the attor-
neys for the big sausage manufacturer to-
day commenced trying to take verbatim
report of the testimony in long hand. The
consequence was that very little progress
was made. Mr.. Harmon says he will take
the proceedings verbatim If it takes six
months. and in case Luetgert is unable to
make arrangements for stenographers to
do the work, the trial, from present indi-
cations, may be stretched out indefinitely.

FLIM.FLAM PROSPERITY.
From the wetaol Democrat,

From the wet2ol Democrat
The republican press is raising
great yell over wheat and oorn.
Prosperity has come, look at the
wheat and cornl Mckinley raised
wheat, the Dingley bill raised corn,
now let US all raise hell
There is just as much sense and
reason IN this as there is IN any
thing else the republican press ever
said or did. 1t expects to film
fam the public, and it must bo
said that it's success in this line Is
remarkable. Ono draught of hon.
est breath would paralyze its exist
ence.
Now we had wheat aud corn and
plenty of them under Cleveland.
But what good did they do US ex
cept to keep us from absolute star
vation? Cleveland did not CLAIM
any credit, nor did the democratic
press claim any credit, for most Of
it was raised by the populists, so
we all thanked God.
Prosperity has come, republican
prosperity and what has 1t brought
US? In vain has the wheat been
garhered, in vain do the corn blades
rustic in the sun, when thousands
OF hard worked and oppressed Ia
borers are struggling for the rights
OF freemen; when men are arrested
upon the public highways and
hauled before the courts and i'm
prIsoned without trial by jury. We
begin to realize what government
by injunction means. Many peo
pie who assailed the democratic
party upon the charge that IL was
trying to destroy The protection to
life, and property afforded by the
courts, and many others, like our
self, who, although in the porty
lines, regarded this Injunction
plank Of the democratic platform
with many doubts and misgi wings,
now begin to sec that the makers
Of that platform builded better
than they know.
As citizen Of this great rcpub.
lie, VIC protest against this degra-
datlon Of judicial power A halt
must bc called, and that soon, or
we may behold q day OF fearful
reckoning, the cost Of which may
not be counted for many years.

THE SILVER DOLLAR.
An Expose OF the Deliberate Lying OF
the Wall street organs OF the Gold
Bug Persuasion.

From the Washington Post.
"Those great metropolitan dali
les the Sun, Evening Post and
World, OF New York, differ in
many responsibilities widely and
radically-5ut they are three OF a
kind when it comes to lying about
the silver dollar and its value.
We may suspect the World of sheer
ignorance when it says that "a stand.
ard silver dollar is now worth al .
most exactly 40 cents The World
Is not remarkable for the extent or
the accuracy of its information.
The Sun and the Evening Post,
however, are distinguished for in
telligence-as distinguished for
that as for the vicious and ignoble
uses to which they sometimes put
IT. They are perfectly aware that
IN saying "the silver dollar is worth
4O.13 cents" they are saying what
Is not true, and that deliberately.
They know that the silver dollar.
bearing the stamp of the United
States, Is worth exactly 100 cents,
and that it will be received at that
value by the government.
1t simply happens that in no
matter relating to silver coinage
are these Wall street organs willing
to tell the truth.
1t is very unfortunate, though,
IN view Of tho closing Of the world 8
mints to the white metal it is en-
tirely logical and inevitable, that
the bullion value of silver should
decline so sharply. The uses of
silver, safe for money, arc very linn =
tied. Like gold, silver has little
intrinsic value--that is to say, it
is susceptible OF conversion into
very few agents of practical utility.
A man cast away upon an uninhab.
tied island, and finding there ton
Of virgin silver, would chterfully
exchange the whole treasure for n
frying pan, jack knife or an il on
spoon. The Klondike argonauts,
should they suddenly be cut of
forever from intercourse with ciyili-
zation, would be glad to give all
their gold for an AK apiece or the
means OF securing simple food.
The Intrinsic value Of the metals
IS very light. They are no use
whatever to man in a state Of nat
ure, and TO organized society, OUT
side OF coinage, they stand for little
more than ornament and luxury.
1t follows, therefore, that in closing
the mlnts to silver the world has
diyested silver of nine tenths of it's
utility and value. The same re-
suit would follow similar action
with reference to gold. Neither
metal would be in any serious de-
mand or bring nny considerable
price il the nations should, by com.
mon consent, destroy their money
attribute.
The fact about silver is that so
long as 1t remains excluded from
the worlds mints it's bullion value
must depreciate, but 1T is not true
lit IS absurdly and imprudently
false--that the value of the stamped
coin has declined, or that it can de-
cline, so long rs the nation which
has stamped it continues to be SOL
vent. The silver dollar will buy
just as much now as it did ten
years ago. 1t will buy 100 cents
worth. These New York news
papers, with the possible exception
Of the World, know that it will,
and are striving only to confuse the
public mind and to disseminate a
lie.

A BOOMER OF oLDEN TIMES
Glittering Prospectus of Seventeenth
Century Mining Promoter

Towards the latter end of the seven
teenth century there existed certain
mines in Wales worked by Joint pro-
prletorS. The partners in this under
taking numbered, among others, duke,
four peers. lord mayor of London, and
baronets and knights galore. Such a
venture, with such a board, should sue
ceed, but in the opinion at least of the
steward of the said mines, one William
Waller, gentleman, the capital was in
sufficient to meet working expenses.
Possibly the remuneration of the stew
ara or manager was not as regular as
might be wished, but be the reason what
1t may this enterprising gentleman is
sued a prospectus to procure additional
capital; no vulgar production such as
those of the present time, but an Essay
on the Value of the Mines" alluring
without with the glories of morocco and
gold, and attractive within with the
flattering tale of hope. "The epistle
dedicatory" introduces the author. who
being much concerned to see so great
a treasure lye dead and unwrought,
merely for want of stock, and right
constitution for the management there
Of" and finding that the partners were
a quarrelsome body, without head,
thought it his duty and interest to dis
cover suitable president or managing
director. Apparently this was no easy
task, for Mr. Waller found that some
had money but no skill, others had skill
but no money; some, again, had both
skill and money (Which was very rare),
but yet wanted that generous and public
spirit that was necessary in this case"
and strangely enough any person we'll
disposed in the general and well qualified
was either wanting in courage to risk
his money or judgment to understand
the state of affairs, land how to amend
them for the public good"
At length the paragon was found, the
fittest person ito set the wheels agoing,"
who, moreover, was possessed of mining
secrets, which the author remarks, II
must forbear to mention" However,
we are informed that he made use of a
new method of coffering out the water
from his shafts" and also Of new sailing
