TOM &E£B'S SPEECH.

Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, addressed Congress on Saturday on tbe question of the repeal of the silver purchase clause of the Sherman act. He struck out straight from the shoulder, and towered above all other participants in the debate. In striking oontrast with many speakers who had preceded him who habitually speaks of "my State," '•ray section," and "the South," Mr. Heed spoke for "my country." Crises like the present, he said, were the inseparable aocompaniments of all human progress, which is a series of upward starts and of falls of almost proportionate length. Tbe former may be characterized in a word, "confidence the latter in another word, "distrust." These 11 actuations occur almost simultaneously, always sympathetically, the Horkl over, so closely is business allied by t.liv telegraph and railroad. Becnuse of the fact that the drain of gold from the United States since the passage of the Siieimun law in 1890 carried out of the cuiiulrv an amount equal to the valn' of the purchase of the silver under the 1.1iv, people saw in it the cause of th- loss «f gold and distrust was engendered and a season of hoarding und depression set in, and to day the country is suffering all the calamities of a restricted circulation in the midst of an abundant supply of money. Continuing he said:

This, then, Is the situation in which we find ourselves. I huvo, in thus narrating the out ward circumstances which have attended our un'seut petition, failed to state fuliv what Is. after all, according to my judgment, the under1} log causc of the present conditio* of affairs.

At the lastelectlon the Democratic party was hroujfht Into power by a curious combination of circumstances, as the result of a hundred causes, not with careful aad candid deliberation. but a* the result. In a large measure, of the apathy of the Americas people. The vote bhows wiuit I declare, and the recollection of every individual to whom 1 am speaking cun !*e safely appealed to. While this thlng^has not been specially manifested during this discustiun, while there h"j been little talk with iregard to It, nevertheless the consciousness of this fact underlies our entire situation. I do not Intend in alluding to this fact to in any way refer to party politics. I do nit undertake to raise any question as to whether the system of protection is a wise one or not. I do not undertake to dispute the position on the part of the Democracy that protection ie a tax, wicked and lultiuiiious. 1'or the purpose of discussion, and for that purpose only, I am quite free to admit that protection Is a fraud and that virtue abides only In a revenue tariff.

But there remains, even if it be admitted that the propositions of the Democratic platform are righteous, every one, there remains the fact that the system upon which the manufactures of this couatry have been regulated for thirty years are threatened with a total change. Whether that change 13 to be for the bxiter or not no man can know. Wnat the Democratic party propose to do with the power which is in their hands, nobody can say .Tbei' do not even know themselves, and hence they are not able to impart the knowledge toothers, tor my part 1 do not expect the Democraticparty to be utterly bad. 1 do not believe thsy would be permitted to be se if they should so desire, feuch is the restraining inlluence ol the people, even after election, that 1 believe that through all the disguises, through all the masks which their el*, ctlon has thrown over the wishes of the people, nevorthekss ihe^e wishes will be carried out. But at this present moment no man can kuo* what will lie the result o! the action of this Congress upon the tuanulaclurert of this country. if the lelormatlon of the tariff were in the hands ceii of its friends 11' a change in the tariff were contemplated by those men who arc In favor of the principle of protection, Instead of in the hands ol those who denounce It, 1 should feel entirely confident that business would not Ihj stagnant. orB remain ut a suuid stlli but win this reformation of the tariff Is In the hands or men opposed to the present system, those manufacturers of the country which are bu'.lt upon tlio present system must necessarily call a halt. If the goods which they manufacture are to be In competition with the manufacturers of ether lauds, where the cost 01 production Is upon a different basis, whose labor is differently rewarded, as a matter of tact, no manufacturer lu this country will dare ti tn&uutacture goods until he knows the basis ujioii which h.s lalior Is to go into the production of his article of sale. Until that question Is settled, you may he mie that the manufiictuiers of this country will never dare to manufacture more than the absolute necessities 01 the peopte require.

It wl 1 be seen from what 1 liavu said that I do not regard the Sherman act as, in Itself alone, responsible for our present condition of affuirs that 1 believe that the causes of our present disaster underly that: that the necessary stoppage of (hundreds and thousands of mills all over this country Is at the bottom of our disaster. Nevertheless, 1 do believe that the Sherman act and the accumulation ol £.11 ver In the Treasury was the earliest Indicator ol the disaster which we are approaching, and that It has plased a part not entirely unfortunate In warning us that we can be saved from still further misfortune and doubt.

Referring to the new political conditions which exist, Mr. Reed said: It is perfectly true that the Democratic par ty is rcsiionslble fof whatever occurs In the iuiureand whatever does not occur. They Inn the President, they have an enormous nisjority in the House of Representative*, and they have the Senate to themselves. For tho llrst time In thirty years they have been removed from the low level of criticism of the acts of others, and have been lifted to high level of responsibility and of performance.

It could not be expected that they would hunge their nature In the twinkling ot an eye. Klectlons might put them into power, but only the lapsi of time can give them the pro|er sense of resposlblltty. Ti time will come when the Democratic members of Congress instead of disputing with each other what the

Democratic platform means will be disputing with each other as to what the necessities of

the country "demand Until that period of responsibility shall fairly rest upon their slioaliers. and afterward, they can rely upon the assistance of the tiepuhllcan party lu tho minority, as they have rolled upon them lu the majority,In thedlrectlouof sound goverumout, of responsibility, and of honest administration of affaire.

Passing then to tbe consideration of the question of repeal, Mr. Keed said that, while be was in favor of it, he did not think it would be an immediate oatise of the revival of the prosperity of the oountry. Nevertheless he would yote for repeal for two reasons. First, because, whether jnstlyor not, the Sherman law is believed to bo the cause of the rsureasonabio hoarding of currency throughout the country. In this connection Mr. lleed paid a compliment to the managers of the banks generally, saying that in his judgment they were doing an honorable and patriotic work and were the mainstay of the country against failure and future disaster. The second reason was that only by repeal could the Nation hope to attract foreign capital, without which it wore vain to hope for an upward turn of the country's business. We mu6t put ourselves^ he said, in a position, when the time for that upward turn comes, to be able to command the capital of the world which shall assist us on the path to the next period of prosperity and progress.

Mr. Reed paid his respects to the objection that the proposed repeal was a renewed demonetization ot silver, and characterized the charge that the law of 1873 was a trick, as "one of the most stupendous fabrications which have ever existed in political life."

If there were any appreciable difference in the value of the two metals, even as much as 2 or 3 per cent., the cheaper would drive out the other, as the history of the United States showed. Upon the assertion that the repeal of the Sherman law would increase the burden of the borrower, Mr. Reed said there will al ways be a borrowing and lending world, and it is of the first importance, not less to the borrowers than to the lenders, that the laws on this subject be made in a spirit of fairness and justice to both classes. In conclusion Mr. Reed said:

What, then, is the pathway of duty? The unconditional repeal. That will either give relief or not. If not, then we must try something else, and the sooner the better. It Is a matter of deep regret to all sensible men that we have delajed so long. Men are to-day struggling almost ugaliist fate and praying for relief. The banks are strained almost to the point of breaking. It is a pity that we had to waste so much time lu this weary welter of talk.

We stand In a very peculiar position, we Hepuhllcuns, to-day. Tho representative of the Democratic party,Just chosen President of tin1 United States, finds himself powerless his first great recommendation to his party. Were iie left to their tender mercies the couutiy would witness the spectacle of the President of lt£ choice overthrown by the party charged with this country's government. What wonder then that he a, peals to the patriotism of another party whose patriotism has never been appealed to in vain?

Never. 1 say, in vain. The proudest part of the proud record ol' the Hrpublicnn party has been Its ^steadfast devotiun to the cause of soand finance. When the oountry was tempted to pay Its bonds in depreciated money the Hepublican party responcd with loud acclaim to that uohle sentiment of General Ilawley that, every bond was as sacred as a soldierV grave It cost us liar lighting and a sore struggle. Hut the credit of this country has no superior in the world. When the same arguments heard to-day were heitrd tlt'teen years ago, sounding the praises of a depreciated currency and proclaiming the glories of llat money, the party of Abraham Lincoln marched steadily toward specie payment and prosperity. What we were in our days of victory we a in our days of defeat, champions of true and solid finance, and wueu the day comes, as It surely will come, for us to lead this hind back to the paths of prosperity and fame which were trodden under Kepublh^an rule for so many years, we shall lake back with us our ancient glory undi.r.med by adversity, our ancient honor nsulllcd by defeat.

A Wonderful Machine.

There is no doubt that man is a fine mechanism, but like everv other machine he wears out by friction. It is said tbathe 19 born again every two or three years. His body is virtually re-mado from food. To retard this making over is ritdically wrong, as a man loses ho much vitality in the do layed process that it takes a long time to recuperate. The process of making anew is so accelerated by purging with Brand roth's Pills that a new man, as it were, may bo made in two or three months, and the change in the mechanism is such that the worn out part is replaced with tho new without the usual running down of the em ire machine. You don't have to stop for repairs. Purge away with Brandreth's Pills the old, diseased and worn out body. They ara purely vegetable, absolutely liar in loin, and saro to take at any time.

ICHAPTKK VI, CON'.'tNUKn.l "There you go again I—dress, dress, dress it's always dress. Dress must have filled a very large place in your 'training,' as you call it What has it amounted to, your so-called training? It has simply made you in every way false and artificial. You never have a single healthy or natural thought Dress and position,—position and dress, straight ahead, backward, crosswise, —one never hears anything else from you than some combination of these two words. You girls were left in the East too long. I've often written lather to that effect but your thundering Aunt Jenkins, and your own silly whining, always over-ruled me.' Why, if I had come out here, and left you girls there, as Aunt Jenlcins so often padvised, you would have been nothing but three automatons and you're not much else, as it is. All the originality and common sense you have, you owe to my staying there and railing at the rubbish you were learning. Aunt Jenkins lit you for life, indeed 1 she was never fitted for life herself—nor fit for it either, for that matter. You should have come out here fifteen years ago then you would have known something about life as it is you would have been trained in a way befitting your father's daughters, and then there would haTe been in you some knowledge of life, and less knowledge of Aunt Jenkins. But no, she persisted, and you, Millicent, aided and abetted her, in the idea that it was best for you to stay there with her and finish your education— stay and graduate. Well, you had your way you have all graduated and what is the outcome? You, all three, are stuffed full of silly, petty, mean sophistry, and are so blinded to life itself that you can't recognize it when you see it" "Oh, Walter," cried Millicent, 'you are as coarse and vulgar as that common fellow here that they call Droopy." "Whom they call Drpopy, if you please." corrected'Walter "we never call a man a 'that' in actual life. Such English is strictly confined to the boarding-schools of the Aunt Jenkins breed. And as for Droopy, there's nothing coarse or common about him, He is the soul of sterling manhood. No Aunt Jenkins about him. I never saw a man who could talk more sense. I wish he was here now.', "Well, I jest am, an' at yer service, too," said Droopy, opening the door without rapping, and coming in unannounced, "I thought as how the gals mifrht be lonesome, an' so I corned in ter see ef I couldn't make things a

"WELL, 1 TOST AM."

little cheery fur 'em. Yer dad an' Dubb am doin' up some fine figgerin' down in the office, an'-- I didn't know vou was here, Walty. Hope I ain't in the.way, gals?" "Oh, certainly," responded Walter, chuckling in his inmost soul, as he sprang up and gave the grinning miner his hand. "I'm delighted to see you, and so are the girls. It was very kind of you to come." "Very, indeed," said Millicent, in tones that would have frozen up tho infernal regions. "Thanky," said Droopy. "I come in through the office, down stairs, an' ordered 'em ter send up a right smart imoshin' wine dinner. It'll be along pooty soon. They can set a table right here, can't they,Millicent? Oosh, won't it be nice! In course I had 'em charge it ter me, Walty."

The last day of May was distinguished at Red Mountain by a visit from Mark Stanley and Judge Des borough. For a long time Mark had had in eye on Dubb's mine,—still more on Dubb's "pile but he never could manage to lay a finger on either. Of late, since he had made up his mind that his lot would suit him better if sdme woman shared it with him, he had also had an eye on Mary,—Dubb's ianghter, as he believed her to be.

And this was the reason of his visit to Red Mountain on the last day of the roonth which made Mary seventeen.

The role of Don Hernando Altana, which he had played so successfully ever since the hour of Miss May dew's murder, deceived Dubb, just as it had deceived every one else. Dubb be.ieved that Mark Stanley, under his perfect and natural disguise, was Don Altana, and a genuine, veritable Spanlard.

Mark was equally deceived in Mary. The vigorous, bracing climate in which

complaints peculiar to women.

she had grown up had obliterated any trace of her parentage, which, very likely, she would have retained in a climate similar to the one in which her parents had lived. Then, too, Mark had no idea that Dubb would have anything to do with anything like deception. In spite of all of Mark Stanley's cool, wholesale scoundrelism and denunciation of hisrace, there was one being—and but just one being—in whom he had faith and this one favored person was Dubb. Mark believed in Dubb as fully as he believed- in death and since-Dubb had introduced Mary as his own daughter, no power on earth could have made Mark believe otherwise, so long as Dubb' himself did not acknowledge the dectipu^u.

It may be argued—and, DO doubt, very justly, too— that^Mark Stanley had not a single redeeming quality no honest praise, certainly, could be bestowed upon a man who could so wilfully and indifferently pollute and destroy the most sacred things of life yet if one redeeming quality can bo accredited to him, it must be admitted that it was this unshakable faith which he had in Dubb.

All California rung with praises of Don Altana everybody admired his tact, his business.capacity, his social qualities. He was lauded and lionized everywhere. Meb and women, young and old, fell down and worshipped the modern golden calf. He was liked he was feared he was believed in he was the fashion.

Dubb was the only exception to this. Hedidnotlike Don Altana. And yet, before this same Don Altana had found it discreet and healthy-to eall himself by some other name than Mark Stanley, Dubb had been devotedly fond of him.

Perhaps the invisible taint of blood on Mark Stanley's hands made the difference. Anyhow, while others chanted the virtues and perfections of Don Altana, Dubb regarded him with distrust

Mark saw this, and could 'not account for it Sometimes he thought that it was because his mask had not deceived Dubb and then he would feel unsafe and insecure and wish that Dubb was dead. Yet Dubb was the one man against whom Mark Stanley, hardened as he was regarding every one else, could not raise his hand. It was a subject which he did not like to let himself think about and, yet, deep down in his heart Mark Stanley knew perfectly well that he would suffer himself to be found out and hanged before he would harm a hair of Dubb's head. He could no more understand it than he could unstand why Dubb disliked the man as Don Altana whom" he had loved as Mark Stanley and Mark soon decided that the two were both pieces of the same puzzle and it was the only bit of mysticism, which, hard materialist as he was, he would allow himself to indulge in.

There was one thing which he did understand, without an atom of difficulty he loved Mary, and he wanted to marry her. That he could eventually win Dubb's consent he had no doubt He felt that his social position assured him of that Dubb, he knew, did not set much store by social laws and yet even Dubb could scarcely refuse the hand of his daughter to an eligible man without some grave or important reason and Mark was quite positive that Dubb cherished no such reason.

If he did, he should have a chance to deliver himself of it at once. In deciding upon making overtures for the hand of Mary, Mark gave no thought to the girl whom, nearly nineteen years before, he had married in Vermont She might be living,and she might be dead it was immaterial to him which way it was. She was simply the wife of Mark Stanley and now that there was no longer a Mark Stanley, what had Mrs. Mark Stanley to do with Don Hernando Altana? Nothing that he could see. Civil law, at least, would not Interfere, and he regarded moral law as he did classical mythology—as the emanation of brains which, at the time when these pretty things were invented, were not particularly crowded with anything else. In spite of moral law and Mrs. Mark Stanley, he should invite some clergyman to make Mary his wife, if she and her supposed father could be induced to consent to such a proceeding. The latter difficulty troubled him mere law and consideration for Mrs. Mark Stanley did not

He had a new mining-scheme on hand, and he made this the outward reason for visiting Red Mountain at this particular time. His real reason ho would spring upon Dubb when it seemed judicious. And so he and Judge Desborough talked mines and mining incessantly with Dubb and his advisers, as if there were nothing else under heaven worth talking about and no one, not even Judge Desborough, once imagined that the Spaniard from Vermont was burning to drop the discussion of matters pertaining to minerals, for matters pertaining to woman, and to one particular WQman at that {To be Continued.)
