nations n to the proper equivalent The
country that overvalued gold was soon with
out silver , nnd vlco versa. Sotno countries
insisted on a ratio of 13 to 1 , others of
It to 1.
"About 200 years ago the average Judg
ment of Kurnpean nations was that the
proper equivalent was IS to 1. That was
the rnllo adopted In whnt was then known
us the market of the world. It was deter
mined by the market values of the two
inctnls. "
Scnntor Allison then turned his attention
to the history of the coinage laws of the
United .States. Ho began his review of the
American monetary system by un examina
tion of the financial conditions existing In
17 2. Ho referred In words of highest praise
to Alexander Hamilton. , He said It never
occurred to that financier that It would be a
crlmo to fall to provWc for n statute de
claring for the free and unlimited colnagt )
of silver nt the ratio of 1C to 1.
I.'OLLOWKD TUB OLD WOULD.
"At nrst Hamilton was Inclined to favor ,
n single standard monetary system , but
after reflection decided In favor of n double
standard , lie sought the advice of the re- ,
puled founder of the democratic party , |
Thomas Jefferson. This distinguished states
man maintained that both gold and silver j
should bo coined , and nt a ratio of equiva
lents fixed by the marketr. if the world. He
also said that we should h careful to
learn the market values In the countries
fllh whom we principally traded , or were
likely to principally trade. He did not nd-
vocato fixing our ratio of equivalents to
suit M Hung Chang and his Chinese fol
lowers , with whom we had but little com
mercial relation. They fixed upon thn
double standard. They made the ratio of
1C lo 1. after Inquiry In ICngland , Praneo
nnd other pomilnted states of Kurn.ne. as
to the market values of the two metals. "
Senator Allison then spoke of financial
legislation In Prance , saying : "Whatever
we may say of the republic of Prance com
pared with our own republic \ve should ad-
inlrd thn Integrity of that country , that has
always stood against a debased currency. "
Returning to iho monetary history of this
country , he said : "The trend of the dchitc3
of 1SSI shows thai the financiers of tlmt
tlmo were In favor of the continued circula
tion of both gold and silver In our coun
try. " He added : "I've recited this history
of currency to show that our fathers were
aware of the Importance of basing the ratio
of the two metals on the market values of
them. Now , we are told by the Chicago
platform that we should nt once declare for
the free coinage of Bllvtr at the r.illo of
1C lo 1. without waiting for the aid or con
sent of any other nation. In the eleven or
twelve speeches Mr. Ilryan makes a day he
says this Is necessary In order to establish
bimetallism. "
CHIMB OP ' 73.
Speaking of the alleged crime of 1873 , Sen
ator Allison snld : "I know of no one In Ne
braska or Iowa who wants to re-calnbllsh Ihe
conditions that existed In these statin In
3873. It Is argued that the dropping of the
silver dollar of 412'A grains mil of our cir
culation has caused depression. Wo were
then on a paper basis , txeepl. In California ,
where there was eomo coin In circulation. "
Of the publicity of the act of 1S73 he said :
"Two years brforc that provisions were in.ido
for collating the coinage laws , dropping the
obsolete sections and codifying the sections
that were left. " Senator Alllion fuitlu-r
Rhowcd that the bill was given considerable
publicity , and said that "the standard silver
dollar to be dropped" appeared ns a heading
In the bill In large print of capital letter ? .
He briefly recited the history of the mon-
elnry legislation of this period In both the
nenato and the house. Provision was made
for the coinage of trade dollnrn by the gov
ernment for the owners of silver bullion ,
the government charging only the .ictnal
coat of coinage. "That bill wns ' .ho work
of Slcwntt ami Jones of Nevada anil It wno
constructed In their Interests. It vas doc
tored for the benrnt of the silver mine own
ers and for their bencllt nlone. " Senator Al
lison snld be had made this statement In
congress In 1S7S. "Flnre then the st.itc-
mcnl hns been made by free silver organs
Ihal ho admltled thai the law of U73 had
been doctored. It was doctored nnd for the
solo Interests of the Hllvrr bullion owners
nnd by their representatives. "
Scnntor Allison then devoted some time to
explaining the nbandonmenl of free coinage
of silver between 1S73 and 187C by the na
tions of ICurope. In 1S7C the mints of
ICuropcnn nations were all closed nnd silver
began to fall , to diverge from gold In value.
This was because of the action of ICurope.
No money that was money In 1873 hai ceased
to be money slnco then.
Of the Increase In" the world's volume of
metallic money since 1ST , ' ! he said there had
been $3.r > 09,0flfl,000 coined money added , or
three-fifths of the coined money In circula
tion. This year there will Jjr.0.000.000
more added. "So now what becomes of the
populists statement that one-half the
world's supply of money was stricken down
In 1S73. If this Is destroyed our popullxtlc
friends have not a single leg on which to
stand. " ( Applause. )
In connection with the Illand-Alllson bill ,
the , speaker said , his name was never men
tioned excepl by way of vituper
ation. "When the bill was praised
It was called Illnnd's , when it
wns condemned It was termed Allison's.
The government by that law placed In cir
culation 42I.OUO.OOO standard nllvcr dollars.
They are legal lender all over the United
Slales , unless otherwise stipulated In the
terms of a contract. It was Illand himself
tlmt Insisted on placing that provision In the
law. "
NOT SHICUMAN'S WORK.
Scnalor Allison. In speaking of Iho Sher
man bill , called especial attention to the
fact Ihal Ihough that bill bore the name
of tha distinguished financier , ho In reality
opposed the measure all along. It was given
his name because he was the chairman of
Ihe committee that framed It. It was the
work of Senators Teller. Jones and Stewart ,
all free sllverltrs This statement was re
ceived with shouts of laughter.
Sltfco 1S73 50.00n,000 of silver has been
absorbed , one-half of the products of the
silver mlncB. one-sixth of the sliver of the
world How then can you trace the diminu
tion of prices to diminution of metallic
currency ? " The speaker vividly contrasted
the gold-using countries with the sllvcr-
uilug countries. The one set has splendid
Deatitlftil eyes grow dull nnd dim

and that sluggish and slow.
Senator Alllron rend from Iho democratic
platform of 1S92 , which Ilryan adhered to
with great rigidity , asking for bimetallism
by lnternatlnn.il agreement , llo referred to
the cruel manner In which Ilrynn nllowcd
his government to be humiliated while ho
wns In congress , from 1891 to 1S05 , es-
pcclilly during the discussion of financial
legislation In 18f 2 , when llrynn's voice was
novcr heard to keep the nnllon from being
humiliated. In IS9t : Ilrynn never lifted his
voice to criticise Ihe repeal of the purchns-
ItiK clause of Ihe Sherman acl , and Ilryan
wns not usually backward about coming
forward with his opinions.
.In conclusion. Senator Allison , who had
spoken with great earnestncsn throughout
his masterful address , made a most eloquent
appeal for the election of McKlnley nnd n
republican congress. Thin , he belloved ,
was the remedy that should bo applied.

wpnke to as large n crowd as could wedge

It Is safe lo say not one fourth of tho. o

a short one nnd In II Ihero were no new

President llenj.5ir.ln Htrrlson and Secretary

Hyde. Ills denunciation of them was scath
ing and bitter. He said :
We cannot afford to engraft upon our
government a bad system , even though we
could . < 't a temporary benellt from It. The
best thing that parents can leave to chil

At Trnvers Clly he spoke for half an hour.
He promised thnt ns the campaign proceeded

scathingly rebnkrd him. Mr. Hrynn re
marked that probably the little one eonld
make a better argument than the goldlte.
to which the republican replied thnt "no
arguments were needed , but that money
talked. "
"Yes , It does , " replied Mr. Ilrynn , " but It
docs not vote , " and the crowd cheered the
statement enthusiastically.

motion by one of the members thai Ihe body

theater was carried unanimously. A portion
of Ue ; club , however , did not care to hear
Senator Allison , and shortly after the ma
Jorlty had left started n little session on
their own account. H. 1C. Cochran was
elected chairman and the object of the meet
ing then became apparent.
A. 1C. Baldwin secured the floor and stated
that ho had reasons for believing thai the
republican primaries had not been honestly
conducted during the late contest. He stated
that there was evidence Ihal parlies outaidc
of Iho Sevenlh ward had been sworn In nt
the Insl minute nnd In spite of the fact thai
they had been challenged their votes hud
been accepted. He thought It necessary thai
an Investigation be held ; that the poll books
bo examined by a competent committee and
a report on the same be made.
Prerl J. Smith , Joseph H. Taylor , John C.
Thompson nml G. S. Ambler spoke along the
same lines. J. P. Contsworth was of Ihe
opinion Ihal many of the alleged fraudulent
voters would bo found to be all right upon
examination Into the mailer. The boundary
lines of Iho ward ran closely to those of
South Omaha nnd ninny of the men snld to
live In the other city in reality lived In Ihe
Seventh ward. Ills suggestion to leave the
mailer lo Ihe enllro club was snowed under
by the wishes of the majority of those
present and upon motion of Baldwin the
chairman was empowered to select a com
mittee of seven men , six from Ihe precincts
and one-at large , to Investigate the methods

Nothing new concerning the robbery of the
Union Pnclllc's "Past Mall" Wednesday
morning near Ullttnh , Utnh , devel
oped during the night or yester
day. The dispatches received nl
the local headquarters nnd nil other rcllnble
Information cay there were three men who
did the liold deed , not two. as Rioted by n
local paper. The country Is well covered
with scouts who know the Wahsatch moun
tains thoroughly. Whether they havcslruck
any Irall In nol known , and 11 Is probable
that there will be no news until the capture
of the men. Chief Canada of the Union
Pacific's special bureau Is In constant com
munication with the nuthorlllcs of thai
country , llo sa > the work Is under the
direction of the Unllcd Stntcs innrshnls.
The offense was one ngnlusl Ihe government ,
but the railroad company Is doing
everything It cnn to nsslst In the capture
of the robbers. He will not c" out nl pres
ent , but should his services be needed he
will go out later.
The meat serious handicap lo Iho work
of hunllng down the criminals Is
the fncl Ihnl none of Ihe trainmen arc nblo
to Give descriptions of them. The robbers
were masked ; the trainmen were terrified ,
nnd the whole Irnnsnctlon occurred In n
briefer tlmo than II takes to tell It. so that
there wns not much opportunity to secure
accurate * descriptions. H Is thought that
the three men nro ones thnt have been
known to Ihe Union Pacific detectives for
some time , though they have never before
coinmltled any crime ogainsl Ihe road. The
deocrlpllons of lluw men will be scnl oul
and may bo of assistance In the search.

The regular meeting of the Retail Gro
cers' association was held nt the looms of
the Commercial club , and , notwithstanding
the counter attractions , the attendance was
large. The neap question , which hns con-
r.umcd n good deal of the time of recent
meetings , was finally disposed of. A letter
from the Chicago soap I'.anufacturer who
hns been out of favor with the grocers' as-
-.Delations of the country for several weeks ,
was read and pronounced entirely satlsf.ic-
tn < y. The manufacturer promises thai ho
will not discriminate agalnsl Iho grocers In
favor of the department stores , and In the
future Chicago sonp will not bo denied to
those In need of It.
A committee representing the Gardeners'
association put In a plea thai Ihe growers
aid them In securing such action on t.'io
part of the city council ns would prevent
sardcneis from across the river sclllni : In
Omaha without taking out a regular ii-
crnse. The grocers , however , seemed to
feel thai they had troubles enough of their
own , without attempting to fight the batllcn
of other people , and the mailer w 3
dropped.
The mosl Important object. In the eyes of
the grocers , to come before the meeting , nnd
the one to receive the most careful atten
tion , wcs the question of pcddlcra' license. ! .
After careful consideration It was decided
to use ell honorable means to secure the
passage by the council of nn ordinance com
pelling peddlers to tnko oul n regular 11-
cense and to dlsnlay on their w.-irona a
number thai would be a means of Identifica
tion and would Indicate their calling. As
pointed out a week ago. the grocers were
riming to do away with the deception that
It U alleged has been regularly practiced
upon housekeepers In this city , by which
the peddlers represent themselves as farm
ers and sell the refuse of the market as
fresh produce from the farm. It wns re
marked thai II Is no uncommon slrht In
this city to sec a peddler with stale fruits
and vegetables , shipped from all Hcctlons of
the country , claiming that his whole stock
wns grown on his farm. With n grcal big
number painted on nil peddlers' wagons , the
grocers think thai unsuspecting buyers trill
have some protection.
