within G week, between the OH and
10th inst. the British troops met with
three distinct severe rescrses IN their
war on tho South African Transvaal
Republic.
Con. Ga,acrc, with q considerable
force, WAS pushing on to form a juno
lion with Gen. French at Naawpoori,
to relieve the pressure on Lord Me'bu-

Kimberley. where the Boers have
large British garrison invested. lie
was drawn Into an ambush, aud only
ex,ricaicd his army after heavy loss,
aggrega,ing 600 or 700 In Killed,
wounded and missing.
On The 10th Gen. Mc,hacn opened
battle against rsc Beers at Msgarsion-
iein, jus, north Of the Modder river,
aud the engagement continued through
on, Monday. Here again, Il seems,
the British were drawn into an ambush.
aud were repulscd with the heavy loss
Of s63 In killed, wounded and missing,
and had TO fall back TO their former
-.-.t.sa... -. sa.1ta. si..a.
But the worst aud most demoralixing
defeat Of the british occurred last Fri
day, when Gen. Butler, the command
er-in-ehief OF the British forces IN South
Africa. who was pressing on toward
Ladysmith, to relieve the besieged gar
rison under Gen. White, was repulscd
with fearful loss while attempting 10
cross Tugela river near Colenso. The
British lost over 1000 10 killed,
wounded and missing. and eleven
pieces Of field artillery. II was an
other trap which The Bocrs hai set LOT
their invading enemy. Gen. Jouberi
was In command Of the la,ter's forces.
These reverses have overwhelmed
England with CONSERVATION, aud J: will
take some time for her aruy to recover
and for needed reinforccments to reach
II. In tho meantime Lady Smith and
Kimberley may have to caPitulate.
The little Dutch Republic is doing her
self proud. Her farmer soldiery are
proving themselves stubborn fighters
aud good shots, and her generals mill

our English cousins thought they would,
and we can but hope that they will
come out on top In the end.

TINE GOLD AND BOND SYNDICATE BILL


The following extracts from the
speeches Of Hon. Macenas L. Benton
and Hon. VIM. s. Cowherd Of Mis-
sour, delivered In the House on the
18th, against the gold standard and
gold payment bill, give clear and suc-
einct understanding of the far-Eeachiug
danger Of this outrageous piece OF Rc.
publican financial legislation. Mr..
Benton said;
"fbe demands Of The bondholdcrs
and national bankers are aimost coy-
erred by the provisions of this blu. II

berry, and was bad enough when the
manufacturing industry Of our country
WAS 10 It's infancy; bui nov that the
lusty infant has grown into Tavenou'

aids this giant to rob the people right

unjust and oppressive that 1t should bt
wiped out entirely.
The Farmington times. [volume] (Farmington, Mo.) 1874-1902, 1899-12-21
Mr.. Cowherd said:

1.-THE pending measure Is more
serious menace to the business inter-
csts Of the country than any financial
bill that has been considered in the
House for many years. After declar-
Ing In section ! that gold shall be the
standard or unit Of value, you imme-
distely aud enormously increase the
burden upon gold, and therefore neces-
sarily increase the demand and price
Of the metal by providing that not only
NIL interest bearing obligations Of the
Goyernmt.s shall be payable Ia gold.
bat thai every obliga,ion--pnblic aud
ptivaie--caD be liquidaied only by the
same money or its equivalent In value.
ixcRgAsKs TnK vALrR Os GoLr.
"llaying thus enormously increased
the demand for gold, the bill proposes
further to increase its value by retiring
all other forms OF currency or money.
A public pound is created In the Treas
ury Department into which 10 TO be
gathered all other forms of money that
dare ircspass upon the sacred territory
OF the gold dollar. All United States
and Treasury notes are to be redeemed
In gold coin at the option OF the hold
er. There are now outstanding, nc
cording to the report Of the Treasury.

Ing s4Os, 1881 worth Of Govern
meni bonds, op which the people mus,
hereafter pay every year . per cent In
tercst. but you do not stop there.
Having retired the Treasury notes aud
grecnbacks, this bill further provides,
la order to wipe out the last poaches
on the gold preserves, 10 retire and lock
up the silver certificates. and 10 che end
the silver dollar itself. There are now
In circulation ssl1, s6s,s4s 10 silver
certificates aud i,ss6, si5 la silver
dollars. So We must 20 again into the
