selves as to what po. tion of such legis

tho producing and what in the int erest
of tho nen-producing elas-n;-, and as to
whether or not the shrewd n.anipu
lators of our li nances foresaw that the
result of their work would be t: largely
help in tho s-ubju.atio.i of the eoplo.
What'v.'r tho ob.e.-t, cerlam it is that

condemn. .'.:e0 bushels of wheat or

e -uiva'cnt of 10 ,00j bushels of wheat
or J,0XUO0 pounds of cotton, an I in
like proportijn it is with all other
fixed salaries and incomes.
Was this legislation just' Wat it
honest? Doos it not necessarily follow
that tho demonetization of silver by
limpyvcrishing the food producing sec
tions of tho country, through fa, 1 uro
to procure ; oasonablo prices of .their
products, a'.isos the manu'acturing

ratives are no. e-sarilv thrown o.t of
employment, thu robbing them of the
powor, eve i at the low prices, to pur
en c tho necessaries of life?
Again, is it net obvious to every ono
that tho strik ng down of one-half of
thu worll's volume of money makes
tho remaining half a comparatively
easy matter lor capitali ts to control
and manipulate, and th j toiler--, to ob
tain m-jney for tho purchase of their

tho mercy of tho foreign American

Would they lo guilty of axvM a

considerable meat in tho refrain from

"Dig on, ye tollers, dig; tho legisla
tive button that we pre-s will do tho

Tho first coinairo law enietol under
tho constitution was recommended by
liamilt :n, concurred in by ,,'elTorson,
and approved by Washington, pro
vided for tho f reo an 1 unlimited coin
ago of both gold and silver: th j silver
lo;lar containing .n 1 1 giains of i u o
xnotal.
Jn 127 tho mint laws were revised
and a st indard oi b .th gold a .I siiver
was made nino-t'iiths line -that is,
nico-tonths pure metal, and one pa t
alloy; tho number of iure silver grain i
to the dollar remaining unaltero viz,
lill grains.
This law Oitablised our p o cnt ratio
of 1 to J.
In August, lw(", the public debt,
which grow out of the war, reached its
highest point the debt less cam in
tho treasury, being S ,T..:, i. J,0 ) I. This

was mado payable ine in; tho greater
portion of tho principal of tin) original
iKnd is in coin not jjold evin, but coin
of cither gold or silver.
In l'l) the princip.il of the bonded
dobt wa also rnado paab'o in coin.
In HiO th ) standard of c in was by
tho rofunding act noinimted in tho
bond, that is to say, all of tho obliga
tions of tho l.'nited states were then
declared payable in cither gold or sil
vor, of tho pro.-ent ratio, at the option,
not of tho landholders, but of the po -pie
of tho United Mates.
All of tho acts parsed s'neo the closa
of tho civil war, it will bo observed,
wero in tho intere t of the bondhold
ers and against that of the producers
and toilers.
Hut it icmaincd for tho yea lT.'l to
witness tho crewning blow of all. In
that ye ar an innot nt appearing bill
entit'ed, "An Act Kovlsing tho Laws
Hclutivo to the Mint, Assay Offices
and Coinage of tho United States,''
was successfully snuggled through
Congress.
That bill purocty omitted from tho
list of coins to lo irinted tho silver
dollar.
Uy that clandestine act, of which
tho pooplo an 1 tho twoplo's represent
atives wero ignorant, and tho subse
quent act of ltt.;f, adoi ting tho revised
Statutes, silver was demonetized and
tho world's volume of ultiractc redemp
tion mcnev was reduced from about
$7,100, 000, 6Y0 to $.V)0 0:HCöX
In 1ST S after the discovery of tho
crime of 1.3, Congress pa-o I what is
known as tho "Bland bill." This bill was
vetoed by I'rerident Hayes (John Sher
man being Secretary of Treasury) and
Congres passed tli 3 bill over the veto.
The act added to our olumo of monoy
over :J70 0),MK) standard silver dollars.
In IS: 0 what is known as the "Sher
man a?t" was pa-sed as a substitute
for tho "Bland act" of This law
further increased our volume of monoy
ever 1 ."0.1 00. 0 0.
Under the U'.an.l and Sherman laws
ovo: $..H0,0 K) ID J or about $ i or capita
was aided to our volume of mmey.
As all rejecting men are agreeil that
tho present distress is due to a scarcity
of mon.-y, wo must leave it to th im
aginären as to what would now bo cur
coalition if tho gold standard men had
had their way, and our present insuffi

priduc rs and toilers of cur country,
yet tho power f the financial instit.;
tifnsof Huroje was so great that our
I o -plo w ro com pel I. d to submit to

Now tlio question is, what do tho

Iii 1(-M. '
We call pigs stupid creatures. This
Is not tair. They are really as Intel
ligent as the majority of domestic
animals, but thej lives we allow
tbem arc too sh .rt and their oppor
tunities too few for them to show
their abilities to advantage. The pig
of which 1 have more particularly to
tell was by no means a handsome
specimen, but what she wantel in
bvauty she made up in talent.
Asa baby pig she b ranged to a
per.-on named Too m er, indshewas
reared with a family of yo;n;g pointer
puppies. She look kindly to her
play ellows, and when they became
old enough to follow the keeper in
his walks she too would come trot
ting and gruniing alter. When Mr.
Toomer began to train his youug
charges for their work of finding and
pointing out game there was danger
tnat piggy might make mischief.
Hut the keeper would not leave her
shut up at home, lie had, he said,
broken many dogs a obstinate as
pigs, and could surely break a pig
that was so much inoie tractable
than the rest of her kind !o h3

it. in

rewards and l uuisliments: when she
i did wrong he pelted licr with tiny
I stones, for he ould not catch her
and chastise her as ho did naughty
puppies and when sbe behaved her
self well he had alvas bailey meal
p ddhig in his pocket for her.
I'.ut this was not all. lie discov
ered th.it piggy. like many otinr
pigs, had a keen sense of smell. She
learned to scent the game, and point
at it fo.- herself; but not .u:te like a
d(g. A pointer dog, when h has
fo nd game, stands generally, with
one of his forep.iws held up till hi
master comes to him. l'iggy, as soon
as she was sure that she had found a
partridge or a I are or a rabbit,
would drop on iicr knees and so ic
main for five minutes if necessary.
