IT WAS NOT PASSED.
A subscriber recently wrote to the New
York World as follows :
"I want to get the names and address
es of the members of the senate and the
bouse who voted in favor of the bill to
demonetize silver; also the names of
the chairmen of the committees that
recommended it, and the date of the pas
sage of the bill. F. N. M.
Marquette, Mich
; No bill was ever passed "to demone
tize silver." Silver was demonetized by
a trick, and not more than three men
in the city of Washington knew when it
was done or within a year thereafter,
even, that it had been done.- This de
monetization was the result of a com
bination among half a dozen of the lead
ing gamblers of the Gold Board, which
bad its ramification' abroad. ' The coin
age committee of the house reported a
'bill to codify the mint laws." The
necessity for that codification was well
known, and the chairman" explained
that no change had been made in any of
the laws, but that the different acts
bearing upon the mint had been brought
together under one section. The bill
was not even read except ' by title. It
was passed without one dissenting vote.
In the section enumerating the different
lawful silver coins of the United States
the word "dollar" was omitted, begin
ning "the half dollar," etc. No one
noticed the omission. Even a careful
reading qf the bill by every member of
congress would not' have revealed the
- trick to any one of them. No one was
thinking of the demonetization of silver.
No human being on the face of the earth
had ever suggested such a thing. The
silver dollar was at three cents premium'
over the go'd dollar, and when the gold
dollar was quoted at 116 the silver dol
lar was quoted at 119. The word had
been stricken out by some member of
the committee .without the knowledge of
his unsuspecting colleagues; bat who
did it has never been discovered. In
after years each member of the coinage
committee expressly disclaimed any
knowledge of the trick or that he knew
or had heard that the word "dollar" had
been omitted. The bill went to the
senate, was referred to its committee on
coinage, examined perfunctorily, re
ported by Mr. Sherman (the chairman)
to the senate, and passed by the senate
on Mr. Sherman's assurance that it
made no change in the law, only bring
ing all the different laws together. Af
ter the bill was passed the secret that
silver had been demonetized was care
fully kept. No member of the govern
ment knew it. . Six months after, and
again a year after, President Grant, not
knowing that silver had been demone
tized, advocated the coinage of more
silver. dollars. At that time there were
some in the country. Tbe secretary of
the treasury also advocated the same
thing. To their intense astonishment
they were shown the report of the di
rector of the German mint, in which he
stated that America had demonetized
its silver coinage. The statement had
been laughed at as the blander of a for
eigner, but upon the examination of the
mint laws as codified under the act of
the year before, it was discovered that
silver had been demonetized for a year,
Every effort from that moment to this
to take the back track has been de
feated.
the committee makes as to why the .tes
timonial shall be made is not applicable
to the subject ; in fact does not concern
it. They go into tbe question that a
navy is a grand thing, which is of course
admitted by everybody ; but just why it
is necessary for the state to present the
ship a silver service is not so plain.
Yet if it was, the people, the common,
every-day, poor people, are hot tbe ones
to provide it. ' Some of the rich people
should do that ; some of those who look
upon silver as utterly valueless, for
instance, might give freely,- since .. it
costs nothing. ' :: ; j- . T
Another feature of the "appeal" is
that to tbe "Bchool children of every
district and parish." The committee,
with far-seeing eyes, realizing how diffi
cult it would be to make a fall grown,
sensible man .'subecribe to the fund, has
designs on the nickel and the dime that
erstwhile found its way into the mis
sionary box, and sometimes got as far
oat of the country as New York. In
speaking of the glorious opportunity
offered the children to come forward
and exemplify the old proverb about a
fool and his money being soon parted,
the committee says: 'The lesson of
patriotism could not be better instilled
in the mind of the child or citizen than
that each and everyone within our bor
ders shall bare a patriotic personal and
financial interest in this ship." . The
adult citizen, already has a financial in
terest in the ship, and tbe youngster
growing up will soon learn all the les
sons of patriotism that can be taught by
taxing him. The citizens of . Oregon
pay their pro rata of the salaries of the
officers and men.
The name Oregon is a pretty one,
but onty loaned to them. There is a
good deal in a name, too. For instance,
if Mr. Dodd would lend us the use of
his for a few minutes, we will present
the cruiser a $10,000 memento in the
name of the state, and not filch the
nickels from the guileless youngsters.
If the committee will head the liBt,
however, something may be done ; but
its members mast not expect to get off
with just passing tbe hal.
WHAT'S IN A NAME.
Charles H. Dodd, a! Portland million
aire, and the balance of the committee
"appointed, by the governor to devise
ways and means for presenting the bat
tleship Oregon a suitable testimonial,"
are out in an appeal to tbe people of the
state, said appeal filling a column of
Friday's Oregonian. The argument
THE ONWARD flARCH
of Consumption is
stopped short by Dr.
Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. If
yon haven't waited
beyond reason,
there's complete re
covery and core.
Although by many
believed to be incur
able, there is the
evidence of hundreds
of living: witnesses to
the fact that, in all
its earlier stages, con
sumption is a curable
disease. Not every
case, but a large per
centage of cases, and
we Delieve, luiiy us
ner cent, are cured
by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copious expectoration (including tubercu
lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses: in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. . Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience. AddressWoRLD's Dispen
