ENGLAND'S GAME.

Aa Ea tilth man lells Jaat Why Bllvai HaaB«en Unraon«tl7.e(1 111 All Countrte*. 'iTo the Editor of the Chicago Record It is with the greatest interest that I have read the discussion of the silvet question in the Record, and it has occurred to me that it might be of 9om interest to its readers to have the views of one who has had the financed experience of fifteen years within a slone's throw of Lombard street.

It appears that you Americans -vere awakened to find Chat silver had been "demonetized," and that ever since you have been In a turmoil of debate and inquiry to ascertain how it wa6 donei why it was done and what conswjuance* result from the said demonetization That silver was stricken down for a purpose there is n'o question. Had thera been no purpose for so aoing there would have been no opposition to the restoration of the free coinage laws aa they existed previous to 1873.

There were several reasons for the prohibition of the free coinage of silver, thereby shifting the debts of the country from the double standard to the single gold standard, and one ol the chiof of these wan to enabla the exchange dealers to have a steady tnd profitable exchange on the silver-stand-ard countries with a falling market.

Another purpose was to cheapen the securities of the silver countries as measured by gold, this class of securities alone having, as a consequence of the fall of the gold price of silver, depreciated over £200,000,000.

To create competition in the price ol coiton, hides and other products, thus enabling this and other European countries to get chcap food-stuffs and rw material, was also another principal purpose for bringing about the fall in the price of silver as measured by gold.

The method by which the prices ol raw materials were cheapened was to get quotations from India on wheat and cotton, nmi thereby regulating the price of the American product in Liverpool. The dealers would also get quotations for hides and wool from Sbuth America and thereby tvgu'.ate the price of these commodities in this market for American and Australian hideB and wool.

In order to arrive at a proper understanding: of this matter, it is necessary to know that the silver price of cotton and wheat in India as measured by the rupee is practically the same as in 1873.

Silver being tho standard in. India hag, therefore, not depreciated in that oountry. ..

The same principal holds good in South America, as wool and hides were purchased on the silver basis.

In 1873, and before the f-all of silver, the gold sovereign could only purchase in exchange 10 silver rupees. Consequently the gold sovereign could not purchase any more wheat and cotton in India than could be purchased for 10 Bilver rupees. Therefore, Just in proportion, as more silver could be "tucked" into a gold sovereign, so much more Indian wheat and cotton could be purchased with the sovereigrn.

In 1873, and for some time after, a gold sovereign could purchase only about four bushels of Indian wheat delivered at Liverpool b'U for many years, owing to tho cheapness of silver, the Liverpool wheat buyer has been able to exchange his gold for cheap silver, ant is s« enabled to obtain seven bushels of wheat delivered in Liverpool Jar his gold novereigm.

The result of the l'all in the price of silver was at. once to cause a corresponding fall in the agricultural products, and the land of Great Britain, Australia. Canada and the United States. It also caused a fall in the price of such other kinds of real estate as are situated in the agricultural districts of those countries, the loss entailed being variously estimated at from 300,000,000 to 600,000,000 sterling.

Gilt-edged securities have not, of course, depreciated in value, though there has been a great loss by the liquidation with the lesser grades of gold securities.

If sliver should be restored tp its former position it would then be at par with lold, and the importer of grain would not then be able to buy silver cheap with which to exchango for the products of the eilvcr-etandard countries, -which would result in raising the price of the loading agricultural products to th.e normal price.. The British and European markets having to pay more, those who produce would, of courBO, get more.

Tho United States has been the chief sliinor. It han done the real injury to silver so you mn rcmonetlzc. it before you get ar.y substantial co-opora-tlon in this couniry. TSngland is certainly not goinsr to pull year ohestnute out of the frro, md t.hino move too slow here for you to place any dependence upon England until you have first restored tho law to the statu* ante 1873, and come hero with clean hands and a substantial ease.

England will take no responsibility Whatever in 'mailing the way either Jointly or othf.nvte?: mo If any rains is to bo done for the restoration of silver to the position ought to occupy, tho amelioration of prices and the saving of the debtor, it ia for the (hiit^l States alone to lead. The rest v. Mi soon follow. :v F. C. BIJCKV.'ITK, No. 31 Nicholas Lan-t, Lombard BfcTeet,

SMART STUDENTS

Who Interrupted a Political Meeting, Showed Good Running Qualities.

The attempt of a few light brained students of Wabash College at the democratic meeting in Elston's grove last Saturday, to repeat the Vale students tactics toward Jiiyan, was not a blooming success. While in the midbt of his speech sc n.e twi Ive or fifteen of these individuals of elegant leisure and foot ball lore began to interrupt Mr. Patterson by yeils for McKinley. The speaker paused for a short time when this was repeated. Immediately the word was given to "clean out those pin headed fools," and a score or more of individuals from the audience started in the direction from where tie yelling proceeded. Such a scattering of kids has not been seen before in years, Ibi-y ran through hedge fences, and across lots, and distanced tho best known sprinters of the day. Two or three were caught and received the punishment they merited. It is safe to 6ay they will interrupt no more political meetings. Neither the parents of then: student--, uor college authorities approve of such work and condemn it in the strongest terms 't,,-/

Thrift Aiming Dominies. I am iilwajB glad to chronicle thrift among dominies. 1 have never fosterr-d the idea that a minister of tho gospel WBB better because of his poverty. Do not understand that 1 believe in preacl ers who arv et mally "on tho make." God forbid!

I write tho above because of a four line item that 1 tind in the Terre Haute Gazette, about Rev. W. H. Hickman, quite well known hereabouts, viz:

Congressman George \V. Fans haR sold hie handsome residence on south Seventh street to liev. W. 11. Hickman, the consideration being $10,000.

In these close limes it seems queer to know that a dominie is investing 810,000 in a "handsome residence."—Lafayette Times.

Tho threatening weather kept away large numbers of people would have attended but for it. There were near 150 vehicles in the procession, while several hundred followed on horses. Mr. Patterson spoke over two hours, and his speech was one of the best delivered here this year. He was frequently applauded. Good order reigned during the day and the pi.-lico had but ^little troublo in preserving order.

AN INVITATION.

It Gives Us Pleasure to Pnbllah the following Announcement.

All women suffering from any form of illness peculiar to their sex are requested to communicate promptly with Mrs. Pinkhain, at, Lynn, Mass. All letters are re /Ss ceived, opened, read and an fftfv swered by women only. ivi/ woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs.

Pinkhain and the women of America.

This con

fidence has induced more than

100,000 women to write Mrs. Pinkliam for

advice during the last few months. Think what a volume of oxperience she has to draw from! No physician living ever treated so many cases of female ills, and from this vast experience surely it is more than possible i^he has gained the very knowledge that will help your case.

She is glad to have you write or call upon licr. Yon will liud her a woman full of sympathy, with a great desire to assist tho.se who are sick. 1f her medicine 13 riot what you need, she will l'rankly II you so. and there ar^ nine chances out of ten that she will tell you exactly what to do for relief. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands.

Surely, any ailing woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

Never in the history of medicine has the demand for one particular remedy for female diseases equalled that attained by Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never in the history of Mrs. Pinkham's wonderful Compound has the demand for it been 90 great as it is to-day.

A FATHER-IN-LAW SUED-

Mrs. Ed Stonebraker Demands $3,000 from Elias Stonebraker-

Wright A Sellere instituted suit laBt week against Elias Stonebraker at the instance of Mrs. E. iStonebraker, a daughter-in-law, living in Veedersberg. She demands 8.'},000, and the allegations of the complaint as tiled reveals a strango state of affairs if proven hereafter to bo true. She alleges that over a year ago the elder Stonebraker came to her husband's home in Coal Creek township, and beat, bruised and severely maltreated her husband that at the time she was in a pregnant condition, and that in four months thereafter she gave birth to a child whose face, head, and body presents a frightful appearance and which will always so remain. She lays the the blame for this disfigurement to the treatment received by h-r husband from his father, and beuce the suit.

Hon. I houiriH I*nMcisoii.

Hon. Thomas Patterson has been making speeches all this waek in Indiana. Tho Lafayette Times, thus speaks of him: ''Mr. Patterson formerly resided in Crawfordsville. 1 kno.v him weil—and a bright man is he. Born in County Oarlow, Ireland, in 1810, ho emigrated to this country when quite young, and received a common school, education in our State, followed by a year's study at Asbury university—now Dopauw—and a year's study at WabaBh college, Crawfordsville. He studied law. In 1871 he removed to Colorado, and in 1871 was sleeted a delegate in Congress from that thou territory afterwards. in 1870, he was elected a representative in Congress, the first from the Centennial State. Ho wont to Colorado quite poor, and to-olay is a millionaire, his fortune acquired in tho practice of law, in Denver real estate, and in fortunate investments, generally. He is owner of Tho Rocky Mountain News, tho very best newspaper property between St. Louis and San Francisco. Mr. Patterson is a strikingly handsome man, and when in Congress was considered one of tho finest looking men on the floor of the House. He is an eloquent and logical speaker."

Jake Keener, of the Round Hill neighborhood, is not all tluit his fair title would imply, especially when Jacob attends exciting rallies and quenches his thiiFt, with any old quencher in the absence of wet water.

Jake's tenderness was so shattered at such a state of existence that he drew tight the linos that checked his mighty steed and his friend was gratuitously tendered a seat by his side. Not only did the kindly Jacob take unto himsolf a l'riond but he besought him to stop at tho "last chance" and enter with him for a last slide of quencher down Jacob's ladder. The friend obeyed, took his swallow and retired during the season that it required Jake to remove the froth from his mustache with his red bandana handkerchief and coat sleeve. In retiring his friend lost ail knowledge sf Jacob's being a spot on this mundane sphere and incidentally thought himself the owner of tho steed andjwithout tracing his title ho pushed around the hill and was gone.

pain that some

times striken a man at tha most inopportune moment is due to indigestion. It may conic in the midst of a dinner and make the feast a mockery. It is a reminder that he may not eat what he chooses, nor when he chooses. He is a slave to the weakness of his

stomach. Frequently he doesn't even know whether the thing he eats is goin^ to agree with him or not The things that please his palate most are often the worst for him to eat Even the simplest food is llkeiy to cause him misery and sleeplessness. His first trouble was very slight— very simple—very .easy to cure. He ate something indigestible and it stuck some place in his digestive system. He ate more things and they stuck. Part of his di^estio* Stopped altogether—that is constipation.

Constipation is so common that more than half the p«onle in America are troubled with it. It is so serious that ninetenths of tho sickness of the world is traceable directly to this common cause. A man's health and strength depend upon what he gets out of his food. This depends on his digestion. Constipation stops digestion. Anybody can see that. The commonest kind of common sens® will tell Jrou that When digestion stops, nutrition etops, and the whole body is thrown out Of order.

The way to start digestion is to remove the obstruction. The way to do that is to take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pelleta. They are a positive cure for constipation and Its attendant ill* headaches, sour stomach, flatulence, dizziness, biliousness and "heartburn." They are very gentle in their action. They simply assist nature. They give no violent wrench to the system. They cause no pain, nor griping, nor discomfort of any kind.

Literature.

Allen Chamberlain tells in the Forest and Stream about a Georgia man who saw a little whip snake colled on some leaves. He stopped to look at the reptile and as he did so there was a rustle of the leaves as the snake wagged its tall. After a fow moments it seemed aa If a little blue vapor waa coming from the snakew A suffocating sensation seized the man. Then he suddenly realized that he was being charmed, but with considerable efEort he managed to break the spell and seize the snake in his hands and kiil it. Mr. Ghamberlain says that "no man who knew the subject of his experience would for a moment question its truthfulness and yet it must be admitted that it Is well calculated to arouse the stranger's suspicion."

In the last issue of March 28, 1878, of the same paper a writer said: "One April morning In the woods 1 heard a rustle in the leaves, and saw a five or six foot blaoksnake. Two or threo inchec of his tail was In rapid vibration. I looked at it Interested for awhile and the vibrating portions began to show aril the prismatic colors, with such beauty of combination as to be indwcribable. My eyes blurred and there was a pleasant Sensation of dizziness. The first I knew I was falling to tho ground frightened I turned away. My musclos and nerves wero unsteady. Tho snake raised at me several times.

The same summer I made

experiments on the same kind of snakes, none less than five or six feet long."

In the October, 1880, 1«BU« of Nature an article on the subject of "Snake Fascination" told of the action of a bird that watched a viper. "At a distance of ten yards I saw a snake whose body, the head of which was lifted from the ground about threo feet, was swaying to and fro. A plaintive shriek attracted my attention to a green finch in the branch of a young pine overhanging the snake, its feathers were ruffled following with a nod of his head on each side of the branoh the motions of the snake. He tottered, spread his wings, alighted on a lower branch, and so on until the last branch was reached. I flung a stick at the snake, and like an arrow it disappeared. On approaching I saw the green finch on the ground agitated by convulsive and spasmodic motions he clutched my finger spasmodically. He eagerly drank water, and after arwhlle fiew away. While watching the snake I felt a peculiar glddlnesSj a squeezing like an Iron hoop pressad In my temples, and the ground seemed to heave, quit£ like aea^ sickness. I think snake fascination Is the result of fatljfue of the optic nerve."

Every work of natural history dealing with snakes and their ways has reference to "snalro charming." Tho Smithsonian Institute report for 189? said In part: "The popular belief in tho power of the poisonous snake to charm its vic1 tlms is by no means exterminated,

Trustworthy observers have related how birds or small animals have beon seen to approach tho coiled snake, drawn toward it aa by a magic spell, yet, in spite of all there has been argued for and agaiuatit, there arc people who profess to kftve ocular proof of this power.
