At the State Alliance of Iowa, the re port of the secretary showed th-it 251 new sub-Alliances had been organized within three months, an nvcr.igt? of near ly three Alliances icr day in that one State. Yet there will soou be another cry that the Alliance is' breaking up." The Swedish farmers of Mianesofa arc joining handa with the native born till ers of the foil. They have organized an Alliance at Spencer Brook, Isanti county, and they will battle for reform in their adopted couutry. Two Alliance papers are now being published in the Swedish language in Minnesota. The Alliance and Reform Press now has papers published in seven different languages in the United States, viz , linglish, Spanish, French, German, Nor wegian, Dauish and Swedish The movement is growing in all directions at an amazingly rapid and solid rate.

Texas Truth. It is expected tint there will be some surprising figures when the report for Ohio is completed. Some facts are al ready known. For instance, the Oh"o State board of equalization shows that the appraised value of farm Imds in that State has decreased 98,000,000 in ten years. Aud yet the national census re port shows that during the past ten years the wealth of Ohio increased $243,000, 000. Do you see anything in this? Do you see that while the State has grown $2 13,0')0,000 richer the farmers of the same St:te have grown $98 000,000 poorer? Can you explain 'this curious piece of bu sines? WASHINGTON NOTES. Mr. Peffer, of Kansas, introduced an other of his characteristic bills to auth orize the Sccre ary of the Treasury to ex change Treasury notes at par for all out standing United States bonds. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, (by request) has introduced in the House a bill to h suc $1,000,000 to each of the Congress onal districts of the' country for the purpose of enlarging the national banking system. The Washington Post calls this money by the bushel." The "Alliance member'' referred to in the opening line of Representative Wil liams, of Massachusetts, auti coinage speech, was Hou. W. A. McKcighm, under the nde, spoke only five minute; and Eastern Democrats objected to con tinuation of his remarks in the Record; but he created a most favorable ( impres sion . His voice w:s clear, and his atti tude strikingly dignified. Sena' or Peffer has a kind heart be neath his flowing whiskers, lie happen ed to bs descending the basement steps of the Senate when his eyes caught sight of a newsboy who was stumbling head long, having been ups t by a gustof wiud. The Senator picked up the little fellow and then helped him to recover bis scattered papers. Hither and thither be scurried with great activity over the north side of the wide piaza, gathering up the papers one 1 fv one, while the wind took the most unwarrantable liberty with his beloved-whiskers. Iu a few minutes .the newsboy's te.irs were dried aud all his papers collet ted, and as the Senator's tall figure disappeared down the border ed path the newsboy was heard to mutter gleefully, "Fo' . de Lod, but did'nt the bosVs whiskers fly."

In 1884 there was sown 1,000,000 acres more oats th u 188:', and 12,000,000 more bushels raised, but to the farmers $26,000,000 less w as realized. An increase in acreage every year, but a decrease in the ammnt realized on the bushel. Virgiuia AMia-cc. THE "RICH" FAItMEn. A cartain capitalistic newspaper, aftei long and diligent search, has heard of a farmer who is worth $")00 000. It doesn't .give his name or address, but it has heard of him, and, therefore, concludes that the remaining farmers of the United States have no cause of complaint, "in the couutry in which they are rapidly growing rich." In an adjoining column it publishes this paragraph: Cornelius Vanderbilt has beccme dis satisfied with his palatial residence on Fifth avenue, New York, aud will build a new one at a cost of $?,f 00,000. This Ealace is to be encted on Fifth avenue, etween Fifty-seventh and Fifty-eigth streets, and will be the most magnficent in the city. It is said that the ball-room and private theatre of the new house will be large enough to accommodate the en tire four hundred. Now, if the farmers of this country ought to be satisfied because one of their number has gained $500,000, and if that fact . proves the prosperity of all farmers, ought not the people who are not farmers to be more than satisfied be cause 31,000 of them have become mil lionaires? Certainly thenon farmers must be more prosperous than farmers, accord ing to that argument; therefore, there is no poverty in America; no cause of com plaint, ththungry aud rajrged are mis taken, there are millionaires amoug us, therefore we are all prosperous, et.c. Is that what our opponents call argument f . COLUMBUS DAY, OCTOBER 12TH. Entire Country Asked to Participate in the Recognition of This 400th Anniversary of America's Dis covery. t Chicago, III. President Bonny of the World's Congress Aux diary of the Columbian Exposition, has issued an ad dress regarding the celebration of Dis covery Day, October 12. That date the four hundteth anniver sary of the.Discovery of America is to be celebrated in Chicago by the dedica tion of the Exposition grounds. The Congress asks that the whole con tinent participate in tv: recognition of the day. The Address says that the day of Find ing America should be celebrated every where in America, and makes the further suggestion that this universal Ccle ration be systematic, pervnded as far as possi ble by a single idea of leading national significance. , The Address accordingly proposes that the most representative institution the Public School be everywhere the centre pf the local ce'ebratiou.' The Schools of the United" States are requested to celebrate the day in their various localities, and to make this pos sible the World's Congress invi'es the co operation of educators and teachers throughout the nation. The Presi is asksd to enlist itself to make a systematic Celebration general. The Address suggests that at least one feature of the exercises be identical in both Exposition dedication and local Celebrations. President Bonncy and the national body of Superintendents of Education have jointly appointed the following named Executive Committee to promote the celebration and prepare a uniform program for use in all localities: Francis Bellamy, of the Youth's Com panion, Boston, Chairman, and the following-named State Superintendents of Education : J. W. Dickinson, Massa chusetts; T. B. StoekweU, Rhode Island; W. R. Garrett, Tennessee; W. C. Hewitt, Michigan. 'Ibis Committee will also, through State Superintendents ot Education, so licit the Governors of the States to pro ehvni October 12 a holiday. An Anti-Tjiquor Victory. Winston, N. C. The county commis sioners in session refused to grant liquor license to Jesse Adams & Co. and Wil-on & Bowdtn. I'oth firms had secured li cense from the city bnard of aldermen, and the refusal on the part of the county fathers raises quite a stir here, which promises to equal the great fight in Char lotte. Adams & Co. have purchased over $1,0C0 worth of fixtures, besides renting costly quarters for their business. It is rumored here that the coun ty commissioners have decided to fellow in the footsteps of the Mecklen burg people by refusing every man who hereafter makes application to sell ardent spirits during their administration. The affair i3 being interestingly -discussed. Several are advising Adams to open up regardless of the protest and let th; matter be decided by the 'supreme court. One of the county fnthers re marked to day that if Winston's graded scheo's could not run without the liquor license they ought to be shut down. Election in Rhode Island. Providencb, R. I.

Sensation in Columbia. Colombia, S. C. When the Grand Opera Company, while playing a week's engagement here fiuished their rehearsal Thomas II. Pcrzc, the tenor, requested the folks to remain on the stage for a few minutes. Mr. Pcrzc went into the green room and came back with Miss Edith Mason, the prima donna, leaning on his arm, and in roduced her to the company as his wife. The singers were "paralyz ed," so to speak. Mbs Mason was equal ly surprised bv her husband's action. He didn't inform her that he was to"give the marriage away," as they had determined not to tell for several mouths. Nevertheless she received the congratulations of her associates with becoming pride and dig nity. The couple were married last Wednes day afternoon, at Trinity church, by Rev. Dr. Ellisou Captrs, no one being present except the contracting parties and the officiating minister. Encampment at Wrightsville. Raleigh, N. C Governor Holland hissfaff returned from Wi mington, hav iug inspected the encampment grounds at Wrightsville.

If it is held it will certainly be at Wrightsville, and the First and Second Regiments will encamp from July 21 to 29 inclusive, and the Third and Fourth Regiments from August 4 to 12 inclu sive. It is quite probable that the en campraent will be held on the permanent grounds. Gov. Holt Ins offered $200 reward for the unknown assassin or assassins of Atlai P.

THEY PLAYED LEAP FROG. The Rev Dr. Parkhurst's Experiences In His Crusade Against Vice. New York City. Some of the expe riences that the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst has had to underg in the vigorous fight which he is ma'iing against vice and cr.me and the places aud people that en courage them were rcfcalcd by the testi mony given by the reverend gentle man in the disposses proceedings brought against Hattie Adams, who, it is claimed, keeps a house of ill repute. Mr. Parkhurst testified that on the night of Match 11, Agcut Chas. Gardner, John Erving, a clerk employed on Wall street, and himself had gone to the house in question. When the party entered the room they found a number of young girls there. Beer was ordered, of which cv eryboly present took. Then either Mr. Erving or Mr. Gardner said that if anv of the girls had auytuing to do they had better do it. The cm-can dance was de cided upon, and live of the girls were selected for the performance '1 he . girte disrobed in another room and danceJ while perfectly naked. After the "circus" more beer was had, and then $3 was paid by them f. r each girl dancing. The reverend gentleman admitted that Mr. Erving danced wirh one of the nak ed women, and that Agent Garduer play ed leap frog with them . Messrs Erving and Gardner also tes tified, their evidence being in most res pects similar to that given by Dr. Park hurst. Mr. Gardner, when asked what part he played in the game of leap frog, replied : "I was the frog." The defense moved to dismiss the case, but the motion was denied, and an ad journment was taken. .

Jordan surrendered to the officers. WILL M'ENERY MEN BOLT ? Electoral Commission Methods Charged in Louisiana's Count. New Obleans, La. The Democracy of Louisiana is split again, and this time worse than ever. The compromise by which it was sought to unite the two Democratic factious, each of which had a full State ticket in the field, headed by McEnery and Foster respectively, pro vided for a general Democratic prima y on March 22. Anticipating trouble over the count at this elec ion, n special com mittee of seven was created to act like the famous Electoral Commission of 1876. It consisted of three men of each faction, the seventh man being the Hon. John Young, who was regarded as thoroughly conservative and impartial. He had fav ored Foster for Governor, but had not been an extreme "partisan. He had been the law partner of McEnery, and was thought to be one of the men in Louisia na able to act neutrally and without pre judice iu this cace. More than 90,000 votes were polled, a larger number than the the Democracy has received in any election in Louisiana except one. The first returns showed a good majority for McEnery, and the re su t was accepted by the Foster people. Later returns rtduced Mc Entry's majori ty to 1,723. Then the FosKr people set up the plea that some of the boxes in New Orleans had been stuffed. Ever since the election the committee has been engaged in investigating the returns. Several irregularities and frauds were tin etrthed iu the parish of Sabine in f ivor of Foster, and in New Orleans in favor of McEnery. In Sabine the committee set the matter right by throwing, out the fraudulent votes, but when it came to Kew Orleans the Foster people insisted that the whole precinct where fraud oc curred should be thrown ou. For the last three days this question ha been argued before the committee When it reached a vote the committee followed in tie footsteps ef the Electoral Commission. Mr Young, the odd man, voted with his faction, and by a vote of 4 to 3 it decided to throw out the entire First precinct of the Sixth ward, which gave McEnery 750 majority. As soon as the vote was auuunced the three McEn ery members of the committee, declaring it was obviously intended to couut Mc Euery out, left the room, thus bringing the sess'on to a close, and starting a new split in the party. There -were five other precincts yet to be passed on, which it is believed, would be thrown out, riving Foster a majority of 400, as against McEnery's majority on the face of th ; .icturns of 1,728. Th j precinct in the Sixth ward war thrown out on the ground that the ballos was not a secret one, and that the Fo-.tet Commissioners were not allowed to ex amine voters, but no frauds were shown. It is difficult to determine 'jet what will be the exact result of the split. A num ber of McEnery 's supporters think that the decision of the lommission should be accepted as a ruling of a court, right or wrong, but a majority of them are un wi ling to do so and favc. a bolt, and the chances are that both Democratic tickets will remain in the field amd elect Leon ard, Republican, as Governor.

Five of the Seven Jail Breakers Brought Back Alive, One Dead, and Boyd,, the "Wrecker. Still at Large. Exciting time they have had at Char-r lotte, N. C , for a week. Following close upon the heels of the jail delivery, a policeman was shot in the dead of night, while attempting to arrest a negro, who was stealing a sack of flour. This was Friday night, the thief mak ing his escape minus the flour, while friends bore Policeman James Moran to his home. Here he lingered in pain and suffering until 12:30 o'clock Monday morning, when he died. Mora i was a i ntive of Ireland, moving to this country in 1857, and was CO of years 8g', having been an efScient and popular member of the Charlotte police force for three years, serving on Serrcat Orr's squad. The Board of Aldermen by mofon of Alderman Springs, voted uuanimouly to defray all the funeral expenses.' The following resolution wa a'so passed. Whereas, James Moran, one of the reg ular policemen of this city, while in the discharge of his duty as policeman, was shot and killed by a party resisting ar rest, it is duly resolved by the Board of Aldermen, "That the treasurer be directed to pay all dues to the Mutual Building & Loan Association due from said James Moran, in " payment of his lot in said city, until the said mortgage shall have been fully satisfied, thus relieving the property from embarrassment, and securing a home to the family of a faithful police man." Alderman Clarkson moved that the Board and police force atteud the funeral of Poli -"emau Moran in a body, which was unanimously agreed to. The funeral services were conducted Tuesday morning fr.ma St. Peters Catho lic church Mass ws, s-id by Rev. Father Francis and requiem mass was sung. The members of the police force acted as pall bearers. Every honor and respect was paid the faithful officer. THE MCKDERER. The negro who fired the shot that kill ed Policeman Moran, is quite a boy, not in appearance over 16 years old. He is very black, and about average height. Hcgivts his name : 8 Nelson Murdock. aud was captured in Chester by J. C. Chief of Police Morgan He is now lodged in jail at Charlotte, and confesses that he shot Mr. Moran, describing the locality where the shoot ing took place. The flour was taken from E. F. Young & Co. The other ne gro who was with him gave him the pis tol, and told him if any policemai at tempted to arrest them he (the other negro) would take off the goods, and for Murdock to shoot him. Murdock was under the impression that he shot Officer Moran in the lower part of the abdomen. He had his pistol in his coat pocket, and fired as he spoke to the officer. He then ran. The nexc morning his aunt, who lives near the city, bought him a ticket to Chester, and he took the train at the seven-mile siding. He remained hid in tbe woods near Chester until Monday when he ventured into town and wa? caught. S9quel to the Jail Break. Jas.

UEL.PL.ISS FOR TEARS AND EX CLUDED FROM HOSPITALS AS INCURABLE. The Remarkable Kxpertexcb or Chas Quaitt as Ixvestioated bt ax Al- . bant (s. y.) jocrxal report ER A Stort or Sua PASSING 1 XT I REST. Albany, N. Y. Journal, March 12th. Saratoga, March It th. For some time past there have been reports here and else where in Saratoga County of a most remark able indeed, so remark le as to be miracu lous cure of a most severe case of locomotor ataxia, or creeping paralysis, simply by the use of a popular remedy known as ' -Fink Pills for Pale People,' prepared and put up by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Morristown, N. Y., and Brockville, Ont. Tbe story was to tbe effect that Mr. Chas. A. Quant, of Gal way, who for the last six or eight years has been a great sufferer from creeping paralysis anil its attendant ills, and who bad become utterly powerless of all self-help, had, by the use of a few boxes of the Pink Pills for Pale People, been so fully restored to health as to be able to walk about the street without the aid of crutches. The fame of this wonderful, miraculous cure was so great that the Evening Journal re porter thought it worth his while to go to Oalway to call on Mr. Quant, to learn from his lips, and from the observation and testi mony of his neighbors, i? his alleged cure was a fact or only an unfounded rumor. An 1 eo he drove to Galway and spent a day and a night there in visiting Mr. Quant, getting his story and interviewing his neighbors and fellow-townsmen. It may be proper to say that Galway is a pretty little village of about 400 people, delightfully located near the centre of the town of Galway, in Saratoga County, and about 17 miles from Saratoga Springs. Upon inquiry the residence of Mr. Charles A. Quant was easily found, for everybody seemed to know him, speak well of him, and to be overflowing with surprise and satisfaction at his wonderful cure and restor ation to the activities of enterprising citi zenship, for Mr. Quant was born in Galway and had spent most of his life there. Mr. Quant was founu at his pretty home, on a ? lea Bant street nearly opposite the academy, n response to a knock at the door it was o. ened by a man who, in reply to an inquiry if Mr. Quant lived there and was at home, said: "I am Mr. Quant, Will you come inf After a little general and preliminary conver sation, and after he had been apprised of the object for which the Journal reporter had called upon him, he, at request, told the story of himself and o his sickness and terrible sufferings, and of the ineffectual treatmeut he had ha1, and of his final cure by the use of Dr. Williams's Piok Pills for Pale People, and cheerfully gave assent to its rise for publication He saids "My name is Charles A. Quant. I am 37 years old. I was born in the village of Galway. and, ex cepting while traveling on business and a little While in Amsterdam, have spent my whole life here. My wite is a native of Ontario. Up to about eight years ago I had never been sick and was then In perfect health. I was fully six feet tall, weighed 180 pounds and was very strong. For twelve years I was a traveling salesman for a piano and organ company and had to do, or at least did do, a great deal of heavy lifting, got my meals very irregularly and slept in enough ."spare beds' in country houses to freeze any ordinary mantodeath,or at least give him the rheumatism. About eight years ago I began to feel distressed in my stomach and con sulted several doctors about it. They all said it was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I was treated by various doctors in different : places, and took all the patent medicines I could hear of that claimed to be a cure for dyspepsia. But I continued to grow grad ually worse for four years. Then I began to have pain in my back and legs and became conscious that my legs were getting weak and my step unsteady, and then I staggered when 1 walked. Having received no benefit from the use of patent medicines, and feeling that I was constantly growing worse, I then. Upon advice, began the use ot electric belts, 1 pads and all the many different kinds of electric appliances I could hear of, and spent hundreds of dollars for them, but they did me no good (Here Mr. Quant showed the Journal reporter an electric suit of under wear for which he paid $124.) In the fall of 1888 the doctors advised a change of climate, so I went to Atlanta, Ga., and acted as agent for the Estey Organ Company. While there 1 took a thorough electric treatment, but it only seemed to aggravate my disease, and the only relief I could get from the sharp and distressing paius was to take mor phine. The pain was so intense at times that it seemed as though I could not stand it, and I almost longed for death as the only certain relief. In September of 1888 my legs gave out entirely and my left eye was drawn to one side, so that I had double . sight and was dizzy. My trouble so affected my whole nervous system that 1 had to give up business. Then I re turned to Hew York and went to the Roose velt hospital, where for four months I was treated by specialists and they pronounced my case locomotor ataxia and incurable. Alter 1 had been under treatment by Prof. Starr and Dr. Ware for four months, they told me they had done all they could for me. Then 1 went to the New York hospital or Fifteenth street, where, upon examination, thev said! was incurable and would not take me'in. At the Presbyterian hospital they examined me and told me the same thing. In March, IS!) , I was taken to St. Peter's hospital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Hun frankly told my wife my case was hopeless; that he could do nothing for me and that she had better take me back home and save tnymoney. Out I wanted to make a trial of Prof. Hun's famoui skill and I remains 3 under his treatment for nine week, but se cured no benefit. All this time I had been growing worse. I had become entirely paralyzed from my waist down and bad partly lost control of my hand?. Th9 pain was terrible; my legs felt as though they were freezing and my stomach would not re tain food, and I fell away to 120 pounds. In the Albany hospital they put 17 big burns on my back one day with red hot irons, and after a few days they put li more burns on and treated rae with elec tricity, but I got worse rather than better' lost control of my bowels and water, and upon advice of the doctor, who said there was no hope for me, I was brought home, where it was thought that death would soon come to relieve me of my suffering?. Last September, while in this helpless and suffer ing condition, a friend of mine In Hamilton, Ont.. called my attention to the statement of one John Marshal', whose case had been similar to xiy own, and who had been cured by the use of Dr. Williams's fink Pills for Pale People. "In this case Mr. Msraball.whoisa promt" nent member of the Koyal Templars of Temperance, had after four years of con stant treatment by the most eminent Cana dian physicians been pronounced incurable, and was paid the $1000 total disability claim allowed by the order in such cases. Som months after Mr. Marshall began a course of treatment with Dr. Williams's Pink Pills, and after taking some 15 boxes was fully re stored to health. "I thought I would try them, and my wife sent for two boxes of the pills and 1 took them according to the directions given on the wrapper on each box. For the first few days tbe cold baths were pretty severe, as I was so very weak, but I continued to follow instructions as to taking tbe pills and treat ment, and even before I had used up th two boxes of pills 1 began to feel beneficial effects from them. My pains were not so bad; I felt wanner; my bead felt better; my food began to relish and agree with me; 1 could straighten up; the feelinj began to come back into tny limbs; I began to be able to get about on crutches; my ey came back again as good as ever, and now, after tbe use of eight boxes of the pills at a cost of only $4.00 see ! I can, with the help of a cane only, walk all about the house ana yard, can saw wood, and on pleasant days I walk down town. My stomach trouble is gone; I nc ve gained 10 pounds; I feel lite a new man. and wnen tho sprinz opens I ex- pect to b able to reus w mr orxan and Diana. agency. 1 cannot speak in too high terms oci Dr. Williams's rink rills for rale People,; as l know tney saved my Hie alter all tna doctors had given me up as incurable." , Other citizens of Galway, seeing the won- j derful cur of Mr. Quant by the Pink Pills, for Pale People, are using them, rrederick' Sexton, a sufferer from rheumatism, said hej was finding great benefit from their use, and! Mr. Schultx. who had suffered from chronio dysentery for years, said he had taken two1 boxes of tne pills ana was already cured, t Mr. Quant had also tried Faith cure, with1 experts of that treatment in Albany and; Greenville, S.

JrtKn T mnA HtfJ Yey Croucn, ana t ran and Kdward W Ulard, merchants, and many others to whom Mr J Quant and his so miraculous cure by tho use of Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People, are well known, were pleased to have the' opportunity of bearing testimony to the high' character of Mr. Quant, and of . verifying the story of his recovery from the terrible; affliction from which he had for so long aJ time been a sufferer. j Truly, the duty of the physician is nob j to save life, but to heal disease. j The remarkable result from the use of Dr. j Williams's Pmk Pills in the case of Mr. Quant, induced the reporter to make further' inquiries concerning them, and he ascer-j tained that they are nst a patent medicine in the sense in which that term is generally j used, but a highly scientific preparation, tba j result of years of study and careful experi ment. They hv no rival-as a . blood builder and nerve restorer and have met with unparalleled success in the treatment of such diseases asparalysls, rheumatism, sciatica, St. Vitus' s dance, palpitation of the! hearty that tired feeling which affects so! many, and all diseases depending upon a watery condition of the blood or shattered,: , nerves. ! 1 Dr. Williams's Pink Pills are also a specific , for trouble peculiar to females, such as sup- pressions, irregularities, and all forms of j weakness. They build up the blood and re- i store the glow of health to pale or sallow cheeks. In the case of men they affect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental j worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. 1 On further inquiry the writer found that these pills are manufacture! by The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Out., and Morris town, N. Y., and are sold in boxes (never in bulk by the hundred), at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may; be had of all druggists or direct by mail! from Dr. Williams Medicine Co., fromi either address. The price at which these j pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpensive as compared wVth' other remedies, or medical treatment. License Granted in Charlotte. The County Commissioners of Meck lenburg county, N. C, ia scssiou at Char lotte last Tuesday, granted license to sell whiskey after steadily refusing it to mauy applicants for fourmonths, during which time all the bars in the Queen City were closed. T. J. Wilson was the first suc cessful applicant, followed by J. C. Springs and JocLindy, who have already opened up their bars. When Mr. Wilson iirst applied for li cense to sell whiskey, he was a member of the Tryon street Methodist church. On the first Sunday after he had made application he was read out in church. As he still persisted in his application for license, he was Monday night expell ed from church. . . This is believed to be the first time on record that Capt. Vail has voted for li cense. Mr. Kirkpatrick could not be persuaded to make the vote unanimous. In casting his vote, Esquire Hilton made a statement to the effect that hu stood just as he did on the first Monday in last December. He could not vote for any man who did not come up to the require ments of the law, but had always eaid that if evrr such a man applied he would vote for him. In Mr. Wilson he found such a man, therefore he voted to grant license. , . Amendment to Bill Silver. Washington, D.C. Senate Mr. Morgan offered an important amendment to his silver resolutions, which he asked should be laid Over to be printed and it was so ordered. Mr. Morgan's amendment instructed the committee on finance to report an amendment to the silver net of 1890, which shall provide for the coinage of gold and silver bullion on equal terms, as to each metal, and for the issue of Treas ury notes in denominations not to exceed $500 and upon the terms and conditions prescribed in said act upon all gold and silver bullion that the United States shall acquire by purchase, and that every de positor who shall deposit in the Treasury gold or silver bullion in quantities of hot less than one hundred dollars in value, the product of mines in the United States, whichlias been previously coined, shall at his option receive coin certificates for the same at the usual value of sucb bullion."
