Mrs. Watking the Victim.

Gentle reader, were you ever struck on the head by a swiftly flying brick designed for the disfiguration of another party? If so you can appreciate the feelings of Mrs.Watkins,of the fashionable Green street flats, last Tuesday. Mrs. Watkins was passingquietly along the street when half a brick, hurled by Jack Harris for the annihilation of Fred Johnson, a colored plug, struck her on the cranium. It doubled her up in a knot and she was carried oft' ci-ying- lustily. The young men who had been eugaged in a disreputable street light, were clapped into jail.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Senntor Allison Taken to Tank for Making a "Lawyer's l'lea."

To tlic Editor The Journal. In your last week's issue I notice an article from the pen of the Hon. P. S. Kennedy, claiming that Mr. Horr is unfair in his explanation of the means by which the demonetizing of silver was effected in 1873.

I furthermore notice in the same issue of The Joukxai. a quotation from a banquet speech of Senator Allison, in which The Jouknai, claims

1-partly

answers Mr. Kennedy's communication." The quotation from Mr. Allison's speech reads as follows: "The amount of silver in circulation in 18ii4 in Europe, where a gold standard has taken the place of a double standard, is §1,355,000,000, and there are now in circulation in the United States §025,000,000, while in 1872 we had not a cent. And still they claim, we demonetized silver. How can we demonetize silver when we put in circulation to that extent in twenty-two years and thus silver was current with gold."

It seems to me that when the above quotation is considered any part of an answer to Mr. Kennedy's article, that the assertion that "Mr. Horr very adroitly presents one side of the case as a hired lawyer would present one side of a law suit," would apply so Mr. Allison.

It seems to me that the silver element of the financial question can no longer be downed, or kept from the front in our coming political combats, and the sooner we meet it fairly, the better for the great Republican party. It will do for factions to quarrel over side issues, but it seems to us that the silver question is no longer aside issue, but will in the next Presidential campaign occupy a prominent place in the front ranks of the conflict. Not only is this the inevitable in the United States but in the civilized world. The rank and file of the lower classes of mankind are rapidly growing in intelligence. They are learning their rights—are growing aggressive, and it will not do for the great Republican party to wink at or evade the inevitable, neither will it do for any great political party to presume upon the ignorance of the masses.

Now Senator Allison evidently endeavors to hold out the impression that from the fact that no silver was in circulation in the United States in 187 .', and that there is §025,000,000 now, that this fact proves that silver has not been demonetized. Nothing could be more fallacious, or further from the truth. No one means by the demonetization of silver that it has been forced out of circulation. They mean that it ceases to circulate as a basis or redemption money. It circulates onty as a token money in this as well as other countries where gold is the exclusive standard. -.

Before silver was deprived of its redemption function in this country and the greater part of Europe, there were in the world, it is said, some seven and one-half billions of redemption money, upon which rested the four hundred and fifty billions of property values. Deprive silver of its basic or redemption quality and you have this four hundred and fifty billions of wealth resting upon a little over three and onehalf billions of base, in place of seven and one-half billions, thereby appreciating the property value. To illustrate: Before the reduction of the amount of basic money one-half, one bushel of wheat would buy one dollar iu gold since the reduction of the redemption money one-half it requires two bushels of wheat to buy one dollar in gold. So much for the gold standard.

Another lawyer strategy is shown by Senator Allison when he asserts without explanation the fact that no*silver was in circulation immediately prior to 1*73. Why if his intentions were not to deceive, did he not give the reasons? He knew them. Why leave a false impression? Prior to 1S73 silver was a standard, or redemption money was worth a little more than gold and it passed out of circulation from the very same reason, that gold was not in circulation. Silver and gold were equally redemption money and at that time, six years previous to redemption, worth double the value of promise to pay money. The law is inevitable that the more valuable money hides aud the cheaper money lioats.

Now it is unmistakably true that in the demonetizing act of 1873 is to be found the main cause of the apprecia^ tion of gold and the depreciation of silver, and the corresponding depreciation in the values of almost every product of labor, with the untold suffering of the debtor classes.

The difference between Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Horr is not real. They-fail to understand Messrs. Voorhees, Blaine and Kelly in their apology to their constituency. They declare that "they had no knowledge of the provisions in the act of 1873 which demonetized silver when they voted for the bill." do not understand by this that they mean that they had not abundant opportunities to investigate the bill, or that some sharper had managed to get the bill through Congress without an honest or correct reading before both

houses. They mean in their explanation or apology that they failed to comprehend at the time the far reaching and ruinous effects of this law. Any honest statesman desiring the perpetuation of his name through the coming generations would certainly prefer the epithet fool to that of knave! J. W. Stkaughan*.

Russellville, April 28, 1895.

music Hall Friday Night, May 10. Mcrcitry, Oct. 23: A large and fashionable audience last night witnessed Marie Wainwright's appearance at the Harlem opera house in the new drama, "Daughters of Eve." The play is the joint composition of A. E. Lancaster and Julian Magnus. It is no exaggeration to describe "Daughters of Eve" as an entrancing work. From the rising of the curtain until its fall the piece never seemed to flag in intetest. In the dual role of Rose Wycherly and Rhoda Daintry Miss Wainwrightadded materially to her established reputation as an emotional actress. In the part of Robert Hawthorne, Mr. Hartwig made an effectual showing, and Cecil Magnus offered a clear-cut bit of acting as Fred Bertram. As Mile. Martini, a chic English burlesquer, Estelle Dale was pleasing. There can be no doubt as to the value of "Daughters of Eve," considered from the standpoint of emotional drama. If the plot is not absolutely original, it is certainly handled in an original manner, and possesses both power and delicacy.
