He proposal to remlnt all copper coin upon which lie could lay his hand and give to the new coins an arbitrary and fills ratio In comparison with nil ver. The copper thaler, lie said, was the 'money of tm' poor," the 'debtor's dollar." The Value of the eopper bullion which It rontalni'd, he thought, would rise In the nmrki-t and the production of copper would le stimulated and In creased. "It was further claimed that w'lth the depreciation of the copper coin of the country prices would rise, the farmer would receive more money In exchange for; fnrm products nnd lnflnatri.es would revive, so there would he a demand for labor, and the number of unemployed would be greatly reduced. Charles XII was too experienced a man of the world and too wise a mon arch to be deceived by these reproaen tatlona, and it was with Die greatest hesitation he slfrned the decree present ed to him by bis minister of finance, tie woud not allow- this cheap money t be stamped with hla eflliry, nor would tie permit It to bear the national es cutcheon. "The new coin soon received the deris iry title of 'calamity coin.' on account f the IlimiH'lul ruin which It wrought. I pleoo of copper worth half a cent wua tamped '1 doler S. M.' (S. M. stands for allver mynt or sliver money.) The various mintages were popularly known by the name of the engraved devices by.'whleh they were distinguished the Crown,' Tubllca Fide,' 'Jupiter,' 'Wis dom Armed,' 'Rough and Ready,' 'Sat urn,' 'Phoebus,' 'Mars,' to which were added In the relun of I'lrlka Kllnora Mercury" nnd 'Hope.' 'Not even Mr. Gortz Imagined that It would be possible, to float an 'unlimited' number of depreciated copper thnlers. It vvna decided to limit the number of 2,000,000, but once on the downward road no place was found for a halt short :f the bottom of the precipice. By 1717 there were 13,0(10,000 of these thalers In circulation. At the death of Charles XII, In 1718, 40,000,000 had been minted, of, which !f:,,'Kj,oiw were actually cur-I r-nt. I "In order to Insure th passage of (lie j new l h. up money It w mi made u legal i tender. The Miami' lh' government, ' iliilrr. H.

Two of tin-in, thi- government declared, must b- taken In trade and payment of debts as the equivalent of a silver rlxthiil-r. The government Itself did not receive them at thin valuation. "When tile purchas-r of government bonds applied for their delivery they were Issued to him only on payment of :'.M copper thalers for every rni rlrtbal ers In bonds. The rumor spread that all the silver dialers deposited In the gov ernment bank were lo be a-lx and cop per thai ;rs given to the debitors In stead, li rid that if lllt-y P-fused to agree to this exrhanire their deposits were lo I be forMlid lo therra-.vn.

Ev ery article offered for sale had two prices one in 'honest' money and the other In 'cheap' money. "In order to put a atop to double val uation of goods the decree was Issued making It a crime punishable by not lees than four time the value of the goods for which a higher price was asked In copper than In sliver. "The result of this decree was an Im mediate reasalion of all tralllc of every description, except In primitive form of barter. The overvalued copper mon ey ilpue the silver money Into hiding. The Swedish people no longer dared to use the sliver coin In th transaction of business The next step taken by tht government was the Issue of a decree requiring all persons. In possession uf silver, either native or foreign, wheth er In form of coin or bullion, to forward tin- same on or before July 1, 171. to th- national treasury nnd re che 'cahimity' coin In , xthunge for It. All allver there- after found In Ihe ,-e.,n of any subject of the crown would. It was said, be ciHillscuied. This caused an Immedi ate exportation of silver from the coun try. To prevent such cXHrtarion a law w as passed requiring every Swede w jj left the country to dec-lure In advance how much silver he bad on hla person or In his possession. This law was, of course, a dead letter. In a very abort time more than li.Oeit.ooo all ver thalers were exported. "A story is told of a merchant, who shipped a larrre amount to Holland, but dared not take a receipt for it or men tion the matter to his wife and chil dren, not even when he found himself upon his deathbed. His family would have lieen losera to tile amount of 70.000 rlxthulera had not the honorable Dutch man with wtvn they were deposited written to Sweden In 17:'" that he de clined to be any longer responsible for their custody- Persona who wvTe unable to send their money out of the country frequently burled It in the soli. In stead of silver and iikt bimetallism. the five nn.l practically unlimited coin age of Hat copper resulted In the estab lishment of copper monometallism. "Tlit- amount of copper money In cir culation at the time of tlx- death of t'harb-s XII as has already been stated. was 2;..lGs,IM thalers, and the paper money :.0iK 0(H) thalers. In spite of the abundance of cheap money tiie national debt had risen to the enormous sum of 60,000.000 stiver thulers. Tlu- first and most pressing question for discussion by the Swedish parliament, which as sembled In 1711". waa how to get rid of ' this debt. "The decision finally reachirt was that the 'calamity coin' ahould be redeemed at one-half its faoe value; Wiat Is, at the rate of one-half of a silver thaler, 1 or 1 allver ore. The government In- ; vlted the people to bring their copper 1 money to the treasury and exdhange It I for silver at the ratio of IS t 1. The government, of course, had not the sll- ver with which to redeem It. but It re- i turned to the owner for each thaler de- posited the Identical win deposited b, him. which was thereafter to be valued " only two silver ore. and in order ! to make up the difference It gave him ' paper money valued at 14 silver ore. !

The formal receptions of the visiting delegations did not end the demonstra tions. As soon as the city was shrouded In darkness the clubs were again on the street. Michigan, New York and Ohio united to form a spectacle. When the parade was well organized It marched aii'i i uunter-marched paat the McKin ley home and waa reviewed In the little stand on the front lawn by Major and Mrs. McKinley and a number of friends of the family. A special train of five coaches arrived about 3 o'clock this afternoon bearing the lumber dealers of Huffalo and Ton awanda. This was a distinguished ap pearing and thoroughly enthusiastic body. It waa composed of business men coanected with the lumber trade, and ac-onllng to the statement of the spokesman. Included many former Dem- fccr.its. A reception was held in the .Tabernacle, the rain preventing a dem onstration on the lawn. Shortly after i o'clock a eclal train of five datches arrived bearing the Re publican clubs of Syracuse. The iost prominent in this delegation was the handsomely uniformed and well drilled Syracuse escort. There were also rep resentatives of thirteen other cluis..ln cludlng a detachment of wheelmen. A few minutes after the Syracuse party arrived a speciul train of ten coaches reached Canton, bringing the delegntlci named in honor of Lenwe, and organized In the vicinity of Albion, Mich. They were about ninety per cent farmers. The delegation. In a pouring rain, murched to the McKinley home to view th lawn. They then returned to the Tubernacle, w here Henry C.

The strength d!s l lived by wheat at the opening was a surpnse to most of the traders. December, which closed yesterday at S7. opened at 6siic, an advance of a full cent, and In the course of the first forty-rive minutes trading had steadily advanced into 6'ic. The strenKlh apparently came from the Lon don and Herlln cables which both show ed an advance. Liverpool was quoted firm but unchanged In price for spot, and M higher for futures. That about balances yesterday's decline In futures there. 1 This certainly was no sufficient Incen tive for th Initial Ic advance, but pri vale cablegrams covering a later time of iday at Liverpool, quoted another Hd advance in futures, or Id rise altogether, j Then the reason for the strength began ;to be understood.

The Hon. Ar-j thur Bewail, Democratic candidate for vice president, tonight made public his ' l-ttc-r of acceptance. It Is In part as follows: "I hate the honor to accept In writ ing, as I nave already verbally done, he nomination tendered by you on be-1 half of the Democrats, the candidacy i for vice president of the United States, j and In doing so, I am glad to express I my satisfaction that the platform of our party, which has commanded my life-long allegiance.

"These principle have been of late In abeyance, but only because those whom we trusted to maintain them have failed to do so. These principles can never die.
