Fifty Europeans control the worlds
finances. We are furnishing them
with silver bullion at the rate of 50
cents on the dollar, which enables
them to produce Asiatic 100 cent dol
lars at our expense, because of the
want of common sense in our law
makers. These Legislators tell us that
If we coin silver at the ratio of 16 to /,
foreign nations will not take our
money. The less of it they take the
better for this country and its people,
because we could then use it ourselves.
Europe depends upon this country as
q market for most of its surplus fab
RIGS. Should it refuse our money we
would pay our debts to the world as
we did at the close of our civil war
and as France did, in the produc lois
of the country.
All the members of the House of
Representative from our state voted
for an issue of $500, 100000 of govern
ment bonds and all of them voted to
tax the people with interest on them
for 20 years. Mr.. Bland of Missouri,
moved as substitute for the measure
that we issue 15O,OOOO0O of legal ten
der treasury notes. One republican,
Brumn, of Pa, voted with the demo
Gratis and populists for this, and two
democrats, Mcclellan and Hardy vot-
ed with the republicans. MIR. Lam
ham of Texas moved to strike out the
bond section, and three democrats,
Mcmillan, Griggs and Cummins voted
with the republicans against the mo-
ton. The motion to insert a provis-
ion for an income tax instead of the
bond section was lost by a strict par
ty vote except four republicans vot-
ing for the motion, The bond scheme
finally passed by a vote of 1S1 in
favor of the measure and 131 against
it, thus committing the entire repuli-
can party in the house to the scheme
to bond the country for the benefit
of the gold gamblers, and to exempt
the rich from all the burdens of war.
We trust the measure may come from
the Senate with the bond section
eliminated, and for the issue of treas
ury notes and the free coinage of
silver.

But it was not its size that now inn

ing shadow. The thought of the
money, as they drew nearer, swallowed
up their previous terrors. Their eyes
burned in their heads; their feet grew
speedier and lighter; their whole soul
was bound up in that fortune, that
whole lifetime of extravaganza and
pleasure, that lay waiting there for
each of them.
Silver hobbled, granting, on his
crutch, his nostrils stood out and quiv-
cred; he cursed like a mailman when
the flies settled on his hot and shiny
countenance; he plucked furiously at
the line that hold me to him, and, from
time to time, turned his eyes upon me
with deadly look. Certainly he took
no pains to hide his thoughts; and GER
tainly read them like print. In the
immediate nearness of the gold, all
else had been forgotten; his promise
and the doctors warning were both
things of the past; and I could not
doubt that he hoped to seize upon the
treasure, find and board the His

Now and again l tumbled; and It was
then that Silver plucked so roughly at
the rope and launched at me his MUIR
derous glances. Dick, who had dropped
behind us, and now brought up the
rear, was babbling to himself both
prayers and curses, as his fever kept
rising. This also added to my wretch
edness, and, to crown all, l was haunted
by the thought of the tragedy that had
once been acted on that plateau, when
that ungodly buccaneer with the blue
face-he who had died at Savannah,
singing and shouting for drink-had
there, with his own hand, cut down
his six accomplices. Thisgrove, that was
now so peaceful, must then have rung
with cries, thought; and even with
the thought could believe 1 heard it
ringing still.
We were now at the margin of the
thicket.
"Huzza. mates, altogether!" shouted
Merry; and the foremost broke into a
run.
And suddenly, not ten yards further,
we beheld them stop. A low cry arose
Silver doubled his pace, digging away

THE TREASURE HUNT-THE vOIC-
AMONG THE TREES.

THE TREASURE HUNT-THE VOICE
AMONG THE TREES.
Partly from the damping influence
of this alarm, partly to rest Silver and
the sick folk, the whole party sat down
as soon as they had gained the brow of
the ascent.
The plateau being somewhat tilted
toward the west, this spot on which
we had paused commanded wide pros
pect on either hand. Before us, over
the tree-tops, we beheld the Cape of the
Woods fringed with surf; behind, we
not only looked down upon the anchor
age and Skeleton island, but saw-clear
across the spit and the eastern low
lands-a great field of open sea upon
the east. Sheer above us rose the Spy
glass, here dotted with single pines, there
black with precipices. There was no
sound but that of the distant breakers,
mounting from all round, and the chirp
of countless insects in the brush. Not
a man, not sail upon the sea; the very
largeness of the view increased the
sense of solitude.
Silver, as he sat, took certain bear
ings with his compass.

he, "about in the right line from Skele-
