OOTHAK BAKKEBS HOFEFUIb They Believe That Very Booa Money WTO be Plentiful. New York special: The opinion is gaining ground among the most conservative bankers in New York and elsewhere throughout the country and is beginning to be generally shared by all those whose position in relation to matters of finance best qualifies them to form opinions upon the subject, that the existing stringency and disturbances must within a very few days come to an end from natural causes. Then will ensue a plethora of idle money, ordinarily an eviL but under existing circumstances something entirely the reverse. The people who have withdrawn money from circulation must presently lookback and see that they not only lost a considerable sum in interest but that they threw away one of those opportunities in the world of investments which occur once in an ordinary life-time. They will also see that they played dearly into the hands of the foreigner. They will note that in the space of a few days the Hollander, the Englishman, the Frenchman were enabled to make one to two years' interest on enormous sums of money. The need for currency gave this opportunity, and it was the foreigner that got the advantage, and not the American investor. Within the last few days, for instance, the possessor of 110,000 or $20,000 in currency locked up in the box of a safe depost company has seen the foreigner's gold marketed at a profit of 5 per cent., while his own money has gone idle. The possessor of $10,000 in currency could sell it in the market for $10,500, which he would receive in the form of a certified check. A general loosening up of currency is looked for within a week. Toa be Banged. Knoxville (Tenn.) special: It is reported that soldiers at Fort Anderson went to Coal Creek and, taking Dick Drummond from his boarding house, hanged him to a trestle. Shortly afterwards they went to another boarding house and captured a miner named Elkins and hanged him to the same trestle. Drummond and f-Hrina were the men arrested on suspicion of ambushing and killing Private Laugh ler. A later dispatch from Coal Creek says the soldiers have arrested a miner named Moore on suspicion of being an accomplice of Drummond and Elkins, and unless he can prove his innocence he will be lynched. - Car Works Damaged by Fire. The Terre Haute Car and Manufacturing Company's immense plant in Terre Haute, ind., was partially destroyed by fire. Loss, $75,000; almost entirely covered by insurance.

The works will be rebuilt. After Indianapolis Bank Wreckers.

'a Weekly Beview of Trade aayai Demoralization In the speculative markets has been followed by a more healthy tone, and heavy Imports of gold inspire hope that the monetary tronbles may abate. The week has been one of surprises. Enormous liquidation in wheat brought the lowest prices ever known. The crash of tho pork ring took nearly $ 10 from the nominal price of that product In an hour and caused several failures for millions each. Extraordinary depression In stocks, and a slaughter which Included some of the best, were quickly followed by a bear panic and sensational advances. Meanwhile In the money markets there has come a singular sense of relief, notwithstanding an actual Increase in present embarrassments, almost amounting to a paralysis of exchange between tho chief commercial cities, and of many Industrial works, because 2 per cent for currency falls to secure ,hat Is needed for the payment of wages. Hopes are nevertheless fixed on the ships bringing over $11,000,000 gold across the sea, and on the extra session of Congress. THE MARKETS. CHK'.UiO.

DEPRESSION CAUrir B BY SIT,VKR PPRCHABES. - I iitoTrTttvmkiisgA-wui ipally nhargoablo to congresBiontil 1 'g i slat ion, touching tho purchase ai:d coinage of silver by the Omieral Government. This ngitdition is embodied in a Statute passed on tie nth day of July, which wastbe culmination of much agitation on the subject imolved, mid which may bo considered a truce, after a long struggle between the advocates of free Bilver coinage and those Intending to be more conservative. Urdoub -edly the monthly purchases by the Government of 4,500,(KX ounces ot cilver, enforced under that statute, were regarded by ihorie interested in silver production as a certain guaranty of its increase in price. The result, however, has been entirely different, for inmiediiitely following a spasmodic and Might rise, the price of silver began to fall after the passage of tho act and has since reached the lowest point ever known. EVILS COKSTATLY ACCCMCLATINfl, This disappointing result haH led tolrenewed and per ei stent efforts in the direction of free silver coinage. Meanwhile not only are the evil effects of the operation of the present law constantly accumulating, but the 'ruU to which its execution mupi inevitably 1 . '1 is becoming palpable to all who (jive the leas: imed to financial subjects. This law provides that in payment for the 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion which the Secretary of the Treasury is commanded to purchase monthly, there shall bo it, sued treasury noteB redeemable on demand in gold or silver coin, at the discretion of tue Secretary of the Treasury and that aid notes may be reissued. It is, however, declared in the act to be "the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metolB on a puritv with each other upon the present legal ratio or such rat io as may be provided by law." This declaration so controls the action of the Secretary of the Treasury aa to prevent him exorcising the discretion nominally vested in him, if by such action the parity between gold and silver could be disturbed. DESTROYS THE PARITY OF THE TWO MKTALS. Manifestly a refusal by the Secretary to pay these troabury notes in gold if demanded, would necessarily result in their discredit and depreciation as obligation payable only in silver, and would destroy the parity between the two metals by establishing a discrimination in favor of gold. Up ts the 15th day of July. 1W3. these notes hod been issued in payment of silver bullion purchases to the amount of more than one hundred and fortv-sevi-u millions of dollars. While all but a very smull quantity of this bullion remains uncoined and without usefulness in the treasury, many of the notes given in its purchase have been paid in gold.) This is illustrated by the statement that between the m day of May, iS, and the 15th day of Jnly. the notes of this kind issued in payment for silver bullion amounted to a little more than fifty-four million h of dollars, and that during the sumo period nt-out lorty-nine millions of dollars were p.vfd by the treasury is gold for the redemption of &ucti notes. DKPL.KTK8 OUR GOLD. The policy necessarily adopted of paying these notes in gold has not spare! the gold reserve of one hundred mi'lions of d liars loug ago Bet aside by the Government for the redemption of other notes, ftr this fund has already been subj eo tod to the paym en t of n e w obi i g at ions amounting to about one hundred and fifty millions of dollars on account of silver purchases, and has, as a consequence, for the first time Since its creation, been encroached upon. We have thus made the depletion oi our gold easy, and have tempted other and more appreciative nations to add it to their stock. That the opport unity wo have offered has not been neglected is shown by t he large amounts of gold which have been recently drawn from our treasury and exported to increase the financial strength of foreigu nations. 'I he excess of exports of gold over it s import s for the year ending June 3U, 1K)3, amount d to more than $87,60,,i0ti. Between the first day of July, 1890, and the fifteenth day of July, lfcoc. the gold coin and bullion in our Treasury decreased more than $130,000,001), while during the s&uio iwriod the silver coin and bullion In the Trc::urv increased mora than S147,OiM.im. I'nless government bonds are to bo constantly issued aud sold to replenish our exhausted g.Sd, only to be" agtdn exhausted, it i apparent that the operation oi the silver purchase law now in force, leads in the direction of t he entire substitution of silver for the gold in the Government Trensnry, and that this must be followed by the payment of all Government obligations in 'depreciated stiver. MUST PART COMPANY. At this stage gold and Hi Ivor must part company and the Government must foil in its established policy to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other. Given over to the exclusive use of a currency greatly depreciated according to the standard of the commercial world, we could no longer claim it place mnong nations of tho first -clans, n-.r could our Government claim a porfornmneo of its obligations, bo far as such an obligation has been Imposed upon it, to provide for the use of the ieoplu the best and hafeM.- money. If, as man v of its frienda claim, silver ought to occupy a larger place in our currency and the currency of the world inrough general international co-operation and agreement. It la obvious that the United State w ill not be in a position to gain a hearing in favor of hiu han arrangement so long hs we ere willing to continue our attempt to accomplish the result single handed. The knowledge in hnsiness circle among our own people that our Government cannot make Sis fiat equivalent to intrinsic value nor keep inferior money on n parity with a superior money by its own iialein-ndent. etior , has resulted in such a lack of owndenco at borne, In tho stability of currency vuh:os that capital refuses itt aid to now euteiprisej, whiltwnilb ions are actually withdrawn from the channels of trade and commerce to become idle and unproductive in the bonds of timid owners, foreign fnvoMorn equally alert not only decline to purchase Am rican securities, but 'make haste to sacrifice those which t hey alreudy have. It does r.ot me t the niunnion to tmy that apprehonHiou in re,tti l to the fut tire of our finances Is groundless, and thM there in uo reason for a lack of confidence in the purpos s or power of the Government in the premise a', The. very existence of this apprehension and lack of confidence, however caused, is menace which nuifht not for a moment to be diriretirdod. otnihly if the undertaking we Inve in hand were the maintenance of the specific knun quantity of silver at a parity with gold, our abiliiy to do so urght be estimated and guttged and perhaps, in view of our unpaiaHelled growth and resources, might be favorably imsed uikiii. 1'ui when our avowed endeavor is to maintain r ucii parity In regard to an umoitnt of libvr Increasing at the rate of aO,otv.'Oft y. ar.y. v. i h im lined tnnf notion to such fncvesHC: it c?i hardly be said that a problem haH been presented w hose solution Is free from doubt . The people of tho United States are entitled to a sound aud arable curroucy and to money recognized as such on everv exchange and in erory market of tho world. TlnJr government has no right to Injure them by tiu uncial experiments opposed to the policy ami practii'0 Of other civilized states nor is it justified in permitting an exaggerated, unreasonable reliance on our national strength and ability to jeopardiz the soundness of the people's money. NO PAUTY QUKSTION. This matter linen above tho piano of partv politics. It vitally eonoerns every hu-iuorB and calling and enters every honw lK'id in the land. There is one important itsfct of thouljoct. which especially should uc n r be overlooked, At times like the present when t ho evils of unsound finance threatens us the speculator may antiaipato a harvest gathered from the xnisforittae of others the capitalist may protect fcija.

One of the greatest statesmon oar country has known, speaking more than fifty years ago, when a derangement of the currency had caused commercial distress, said : "The very man of all others who has the deepest interest in a sound currency aud who BunVra most by mischievous legislation in money matters, is the man who earns his dally bread'by bis daily toll." These wordn are as p. rtinent now an on the day they were uttered, end ought to Impressively remind us that a failure in the discharge of our duty at this time must especially injure those of our countrymen who labor, and w ho, because of their number and condition, are entitled to the most watchful care of their Government. OIVK RELIEF AT ONCE. It i& one of the utmost importance that finch relief us Congress can afford in the existing situation bo afforded ut once. Tho maxim "He gives twice who gives quickly" is directly applicable. It may be true that the embarrassments from which the business of the country is su tiering ariso as much from evils apprehended as from those actually existing. We may hope, too, that calm counsels will prevail aud that neither the capitalists nor the wage earners will fcive way to unreasonable panic and sacrifice their property or their interest h under the influence of exaggerated fears. Nevertheless, every day's delay in removing one of the plain and principal causes of tho present state of things enlarges the mischief already done and iucreaso.i ie responsibility of the Government for its existence. Whatever else the p-ople have a right to exect from Congress, they may certainly demand that legislation condemned by the ordeal of three years' disastrous experience shall bo removotf from theatutute books us soon uh their representatives can legitimately deul with it. TARIFF KF.ro HM. It was my purpose to summon Congress in spec ifi.l session early in the coining September that we might enter promptly upon the work of tariff reform, which tho truo interests of the country clearly demmd, which so large a majority of the pooplo navo shown by their suffrages dojir and exjwt, nutl to tlie accompli wh men t of which every effort of the present ad-mini.-trution ia pledged. Hut while tariff reform lias Iv'et nothing of it s immediate aud pe. manont i'i portunco, and must in the neur future engage tho attention of Congress, It has seemed time that the financial condition of the country should nt once, and before all other subjects be considered by your honorable body.

Pluto's Safety Valve. Two and a half miles south of the 11 title Mexican village of Las Humniettas, in Western Arizona, in alow sandy valley, flanked by tail mountains, there is a hole about three feet in diameter and of unknown depth. From this cavity, which is as round as If fashioned Vy an experienced well-digger, a dense cloud of smoke and steam is constantly arising. For 100 feet on each side of this apparently fathomless pit the ground is moist and damp. Water collected from small holes dug in the damp soil has a curious eilect upon the person rash enough to drink it -dispelling sleep for as much as fifty hours in succession. If the hands and feet be washed in it, it gives them a brazen hue and a paralytic numbness. Of nn evening, about 7 o'clock (seldom varying as much as five min utes either way), large volumes of sand are shot from the hole several yards into the air. Sometimes this latter exhibition is preceded by increased activity and loud subterranean noises; at other times the emission of smoke and steai'i almost entirely ceases for atiout ten minutes before the sand spurting show takes place. The people of Las Hummettas know the hole by the name of "Pluto's Safety Valve." Some Seeming Discrepancies What is the precise enlor expressive of anger or race?

A very curious industry was established early in 1801 in New York City, and lasted to the end of the war. It was tho manufacture of Confederate money. A regular business was done in this, remarkable as it may seem. A man who has twice been in Congress since the war from a northern district, made a fortune out of the stuff, it could not be told from the genuine, the only difference being that the Northern article was rather better than that made in the South. Plantations were purchased with it, aud one of the finest places in Mississippi was bought and paid for in Confederate currency that cost the people who used it only about $1,200 in gold.New York Times.

THE GREAT SOUTH AMEEICAH,

ERV

-AND

StomachLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred. Years. It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Forest Milk., This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by tho proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of tho general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever causa It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its grit curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, tho liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strengthener of tho life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year.

IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

Nervousness, Nervous Prostration, Nervous Headache, Sick Headache, Female Weakness, Nervous Chills, Paralysis, Nervous Paroxysms and Nervous Choking, Hot Flashes, Palpitation of the Heart, Mental Despondency, Sleeplessness, St. Vitus' Dance, Nervousness of Females, Nervousness of Old Age, Neuralgia, Pains in the Heart, Pains in the Back, t ailing Health,

bummer Complaint of Infants. All these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic. IYER VOl S DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of ail the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con

tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair

tne wear our present mode ot living ana laoor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason i& becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous derangement.
