BOIES DEFENDS HIS PLAN.
The Ex-Governor Replies to Critics of
His Currency Scheme.

Des AToines, Iowa, Feb. 21.-Ex-Gov.
Boies has sent the following. letter to
the Leader replying to the criticisms Of
the currency plan advocated in his re-
cent speech at Fairfield: Many of
my critics think they see a yawninS
abyss in the plan for currency reform
outlined in my Fairfield address, into
which the treasury of the nation would
be in constant danger of dropping II
the plan was adopted. Let me see Al
can quiet that fear.
Suppose (the plan being IN force)
"A. brings to the treasury today 100
ounces of silver worth in the worlds
markets so cents an ounce. He would
receive for it fifty dollars in certificates
that would ever after, in the treasury
or out be full legal tender and the
treasury would receive his silver.
"One year after, he or some one else
brings these certificates back to the
treasury for redemption. Silver has
doubled in value. He would receive
for them so ounces of silver. The treas
ury would own his certificates. With
these or some other fifty dollars, the
treasury would purchase in the open
market 80 ounces OF silver ana cover 1t
into the treasury. That would close
one transaction. What is the result?
The treasury has gained so ounces of
silver. A. has neither gained or lost
a farthing.
Multiply silver transactions to any
extent desired The result is always
the same a rising market. The
treasury gains the rise. Individuals
lose nothing. No pit there. Reverse
the market.
when A. returns with his certih-
Gates for redemption silver has fallen
to 25 cents an ounce. He receives 200
ounces OF silver and the treasury owns
his certificates. With these or some
other equally good fifty dollars, the
treasurer Immediately buys An the
open market 200 ounces of silver and
covers it into the treasury. This clos
es the transaction.
What is the result2 The treasury
has neither gained nor lost a grain of
silver, nor a farthing of value. Indi-
Viduals have neither gained nor lost
But suppose silver is cornered in the
markets. What then? Simply redeem
with gold and buy gold instead of silver
for the treasury.
"A world of work this buying of bull
lion with which to redeem, some one
suggests.
Don't worry any, there would be no
q rush for the redemption of these certi-
hcates any more than there is now for
the redemption of silver certificates
with silver dollars. Every bullion GER
uhcate would be worth more to every
man outside of the treasury than the
bullion it would represent. But what
of the certificates the dollars involved
in these transactions. In all the years
of rising and falling prices they would
float along the channels of business
hand in hand with their brothers is
sued for gold incapable of Identification
among any number of such always Sc
rene as the conscience of the just, for
they would know Cor would if they
could think that whether the market
was up or down, there would always be
behind them their exact face value in
one or the other OF the money metals.
Would they be a fiuctuating cur
rency? Let my critics try again.

RESULT OF THE STRIKE.
Apparently 1t Paid the Illinois Coal
Miners

Springfield, Ill, Feb. 21.-The state
board of labor commissioners has just
issued a lengthy report on the coal
miners strike of last year. The report
says that the strike of 1897, when its
extent, number of men involved, dura-
ton and results are considered, ranks
as the most notable Industrial event in
the state
There were involved in the strike of
last year 3O7 mines and 29, 400 men, In
Illinois more men and mines continued
in active service in the recent strike
than in 1896, as was likewise the case
in a number of other states, notably in
West Virginia, Kentucky and Iowa.
The result was that at no time during
the recent suspension were the princi-
pal markets entirely destitute of the
product.
The miners who participated in the
strike have since shared the benefit of
the advance in wages which has result
ed. while at 397 mines, the men contin-
ued to work with little advance, and at
five mines no change in the price has
been made. The average duration Of
the strike in Illinois was 81 days. The
greatest gain was in the northern part
of the state, along the region of the
Rock Island road where prices had
been lowest Miners at Springfield,
Danville and Streator secured an ad-
vance of substantially 20 per cent.

lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. J. c. Orms, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR MRS. P1NKHAM:-I feel it nv
duty to tell all suffering women that 1

and hot flashes. Feet and hands were

gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. I can eat and

consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
