The Rothchilds, of Europe, are contributing largely to the republican campaign func in ordei to secure the success of the gold sta- dard and protection planks of the Republican platform.

The republican committee has pressed Canada into its service Canada has commenced the boy-, cotting United States silver money with a view to impress upon our people the necessity of voting in favor of gold monometalism. — It won’t win.

Here is a paragraph from a speech delivered by bluff Ben. F. Wade, of Ohio, in the U. 8. senate on the 13th of December, ’67, which we commend to the careful and prayerful consideration of re-» publicans: “I ain tor the laboring poition of our people. The rich can take of themselves. We never agreed to pay the bonds in gold; no man can find it in the contract and I vill never consent to have one payment for the bondholder and another for the people. It would sink my party and it ought to.”

Summer Resorts On the Monon.

The Summer Resorts on the Monon Route are more than usually populax this year. West Baden and French Lick Spri gs, in Or . ange county, are overflowing with visitors, aid the hotels have all they can do. Paoli; the county seat, has opened a new sanitariu u, which is well patronized. The waters of the various springs difi fer materially m tkeir constituents, and are successfully prescribed for a great variety of maiadies. The woods in the neighborhood abound m game and all the streams teem fish, some of them having been stocked by the government fish com mission. All indications poi u t to West Baden (and the neighboring springs) as the great sanitarium and popular summer resort of the west. Cedar Lake, forty miles from Chicago, is a favorite picnic and outing spot, where the Monon has a fine wooded park of nearly 400 acres. The fishing is first rate. The long experience of Judge Healy in the Boot and Shoe trade should give him a prestige enjoyed by no other. His stock has been selected with care and backed by good judgment, and his prices can not fail to please.

(of(IMEQF 73 Mon Efita of Eifi lotsjgiu. The New York Freeman’s Jonrnal has at some length explainec why the act demonetizing silver ib rigtly termed “The Crime of 1873.” After quoting trom tlie Congressioual Record the remarks of prominent members of the engross which passed the 1 w, the paper says:

In view of this the advocates of silver, and every one else who has a shred of rnorß een-e left to him, are justified ;uay, bound by the obligation of veracity to tiesiguate the law demonetizing silver as tho “Crime of 1873," tne as yet uupumshed crime that haßbro’t untold misfortune on the Ameiicau people. The St. Louis convention has resolved to maintain that fraudulent law and perpetuate its evil results. The Chicago conven. tion has resolved to blot it from the record and remove as far bb possible tho evils it has producedThe crime of 1873, according to the statement of Judge Kelley, given above, the silver bill, when it left the hands of the Committee on Coinage, did not demonetize the silver dollar. On the contrary, it made provisions for its continued coinage. After the bill was passed it was discovered that the provis ion for the silver dollar had been omitted—had been surreptitiously obliterated from the document!— Here we have the crime of ,73. Who did the nefarious work? By whose request or suggestion was it that this doctored substitute for tho original printed bill was not read in tbe House? Who shutoff debate by demand for tho previous question? To bring a crime home to its perpe.rator the first question asked is: Who benefited by it? The foreign and Wall street bondholders made millions by it. This faot in itsolt is not enough to convict but it affords a clue. With this clue in hand, wo introduce Mr. Ernest Seyed into tho conspiracy. A writer, quoted by Samuel Leavitt in his book, “Our Money Wars,’’ says:

“The English capitalists raised $500,000 and sent one Ernest Seyd to America to have silver demon* etized He came. In the bill was skillfully inserted a clause demon etizing silver. Before the bill passed, a member of the committee who had the bill in charge said that ‘Ernest Seyd, of Londo , a distinguished writer and bullionist who is now here, has given great attention to the subject of mint coinage. After having examined the fin t draft of this bill he has made various sensible suggestions, which the committee adopted and ißeorporated in the bill.’—(Congressional Record, April 9, 1872.) As Ernest Seyd is an interesting and important character in this conspiracy, we will follow him to Lon*, don and see what he has to say of his missionary work in America. L. 1892 Frederick A. Luckenbach, a former member of the New York Stock Exchange, made an affidavit in which the following statement occurred:

“In 18t>5 1 visited London, Enland, for the purpose of plaoing th< re Pennsylvania oil properties, in whioh I was interested. I took with me letters of introduction to many gentlemen in Loudon, among them one to Mr. Ernest Seyd, irorn Robert M. Faust, ex-Treasuror of Philadelphia. I became well acquainted with Mr. Seyd, and with h?s brother, Richard Seyd, who l understand is yet living. L visited London thereafter every year, and with each visit renewed my tcquaintance with Mr. Seyd. In February, 1874, while on one of these visits, and while his guest at dinner, 1, among other things, alluded to'rumors afloat of Parliamentary corruption, and expressed astonishment that such corruption, should exist, in reply to this he told me he could relate.facts about the corruption of the American Congress that would place it far ahead of English parliament in that line. Attar dinner be invited me into another room* where he resumed the conversation about legislative corruption. He said: ‘lf yuu will pledge me your honor as a gentleman not to divulge that I am about to tell you while 1 live, 1 will convince you that what 1 aid about the corruption of the

Amerioan congress is true.’ I gave him my promise and he then continued: ‘I went to America in ’72’73, authorized to secure, if I oo’d, the passage of a billl demonetizing silver. It was to the interest or those 1 represented —the Governors of the Bank of England to have it done. 1 took with me $500,000, with instructions if that was not sufficient to accomplish the object, to draw for another $500,000, or as much more as was neoessary. I saw the committee of the House and Senate a*?d paid the money, and stayed in America until I knew the measure was safe. Your people will not now comprehend the far-reaching extent of that measure, but they will in after years. Whatever you may think of corruption in the English Parliament, I assure you 1 would not have dared to make such an attempt here as I did in your country.” Such is Ernest Seyd’s oonfes - sion ;suoh the history of the ‘CritAe of 1873;’ such the way in whioh the standard dollar was dropped from our coinage

Straugo and inoredible as it may spem, the platform of the St Louis convention maintains a party principle that the law thus passed by the intrigue of English capitalists must n*t be abolished without the conseuf of those Bame conspirators agmist the welfare of the American jieople! Our national hon* or, we pare told, requires that we must continue indefinitely to suffer die oVil results of that oriminal conspiracy. Every effort to free ourselves from the iniquitous burden is called repudiation. In view of these things, it is not difficult to understand ths intense earnesness and enthusiasm of tha common people at the Chicago convention and the brusque manner in whioh they treated the professional politicians, the political haoks. the pliant tools of the organized and conspiring wealth that caused the evils of which tho laboring people aro tho victims.

Oncd more we publish’an extraot from the London Financial News, in order that our readers may bet tor understand how closely related to the orime of 1873 is the effort at present being made to perpetuate the tvil consequences of that crime After reading these facts how can any loyal Amerioan vote for the WalUstreet-London oombine? The London Financial News says "Thofinancial situation in the United States is very serious, and it demands the immediate attention of British financiers and statesmen. The trade of the world is now in our hands, but it will not long remain there if the United States goes to a bimetalho basis with free and unlimited coinage of silver. “With the addition of silver to the volume of money everything in America would take on a new face; labor and industry would gain new life. The grip oL tht gold standard on the products of the world would be loosened and prices would rise. Great Britain would lose her markets in South America, Asia and Europe, and American ships would not be Jong in oaptunng the oarrying trade of the world.

“British creditors must now ap« ply themselves quickly to the Am. erican money problem. The American people are now thoroughly aroused and educated on the power and use of money ( and made desperate by debt and business depression, they are forcing free silver as the main issue. ‘Great Britain need fear no injury to her trade or investments if the Republican party can force ‘protection tariff’ as the main issue in the ooming presidential campaign, but if free silver dominates the American mind and carries at tho polls, it will bring about a change in England that will be ruinous from its suddenness and severity. The damage that can be done british manufacturers by a protective tariff is slight compared with the disasters that would be entailed ly a change from a single gold to a complete bimetallic standard.

“The success of free coinage will bring down the rate of interest on money, and cause an immediate rise in the price of all commodities. When silver becomes primary money the American mines will pour their produots into the mints, and a new era similar to that produced by the issue of greenbacks during the civil war will begin. Gold will leave the banks and enter into competition with silver in the avenues of trade and the manufactories of the Uni ted States whioh have been shut down or crippled since 1892 will again resume their fight for the English maikets. “ t matters not to Great Britain which party suoceeds if the gold tandard is maintained, but either

NUMBER 38

of the old parties or a new party whioh goes into power pledged to free coinage will be inimioai to English manufactories and 1 rade. “The American people are massing now on free silver. When that issue comes fairly before the Amerioan people England witl reSret her apathy and adherence to ie single gold standard.” Increasing trade acquires more shelving in Judgw Healy’s store.

THE BEST CIRCUS TRAVELING.

The Great Walleoe Shows gave two performanooa in this oity yesterday, and It oan be safely stated that no better exhibitions of a like oharaoter ever took place here. To begin with, the street parade In the morning was worth going a long way toiee.
