and they will join hands for a general
raid on legislation.

EVERY little while, somebody who
conceiyes the idea Of being q reformer
proposes to regulate party proceed
ings, in the matter of naming candi.
dates for Office, by legislative enact.
ment. There has been an opinion,
which may not yet bs quite obsolete,
that popular political institutions rest
on voluntary powers of the people,
which 1t is not the office Of govern.
ment to NEEDLE with in any way.
Among such voluntary powers is the
exercise Of the electoral office. It Is
optional with every elector in a free
state to vote or to abstain from voting;
to vote for the candidate named by
party machine or for some
other man; to participate with
the machine In notwithstanding or
to abstain from doing SO, according to
his free personal volition. 1t prob
ably will not be questioned that the
state which should deprive electors of
their voluntary powers would cease to
be entitled TO the nance of a free state,
and be entitled to hat of a despotic
state. So, when q legislature az.
sumes to enact regulations of any kind
| that tend to restrict men In the exer.
else of their voluntary political powers,
such enactments, though they may not
be per Sc despotic, unquestionably tend
in the direction of d~espotism.
OF this character are all projects of
law for the regulation of party pro-
oeedings by governmental agency
Chicago Times.
Such fine spun theories do not apply
to the proposed regulation of primary
elections by law either in Illinois OF
Nebeaska. The object of such laws Ia
to purify party oaucuses and conven-
tions, not to limit the elective fran
chise or individual choice of any citi-
zen. The government of primary
elections by law will not abridge the
right Of any legal voter, who has a
right to take part in the nomination Of
candidates for his party, but 1t will
sbridge the right of any person to
vote than once at the
same election. 1t will enable the of.
icers Of election to protect the ballot
box and stop fraud by virtue of penal.
ties imposed upon violators of the
law. Where dominant parties make
choice Of their candidates through
primary elections and conventions
whom the rank and file of the part,
are in honor bound to support, it be
comes of the utmost importapc /, tina
the method of conducting ouch nomi
nations shall be prescribed by law
and the nominations conducted under
regulations that will punish briber,
and fraud as severely In primary cleo
tions as they are now dealt with il
general elections.

SILVER.

newed attacks are made on the great
silver interests of our country for the
benefit of Wal street banking houses
and monomehalist cranks. Senator
Morrill's late resolution prohibiting
further coinage and purchases Of bull
lion was introduced in this object,
and Secretary Folger's letter complain
ing lack Of storage room for the accu-
mulating silver in the treasury vaults,
is in the same line. Just as long as
Wall street controls our national
financial policy, these bushwhacking
raids will be continued, and they will
fail Of their aim just as long as com
mon sense rather than selfish interests
rules on the discussion Of the subject
in congress.
The coinage law oompels the gov.
eminent to purchase $24, 600, 900 of
silver bullion annually. Since its
passage the treasury department has
paid out to the people $101, 004, 236 In
silver, and is now receiving the bene.
fits Of the sum thus used. In order
to make transfers more easy, the SILL
YER certificates were issued, of which
there are now outstanding $65, 620, 450
The advocates Of q single standard in.
sist that silver cannot be forced In cir
culation. They complain that $685.
COO, 900 are now lying idle in the
treasury vaults, and the accumulations
of this years coinage will increase the
amount by $27, 600, 900 additional.
One of the leading e~asterns papers
states what 1t calls "a significant fact"
that on November /, 1882, there we're
only $50, 600, coo of silver in circula
ton"
Now the facts of the case are that
our entire silver currency amounts
only to 1928, 1929. $50. OF this sum
$31, 600, 600 in silver dollars is stored
In the treasury vaults, and $50, &c.,
$50 additional are represented by sill
YER certificates in circulation. Now 1t
Is the sheerest nonsense TO say hat
these certificates are not silver In or.
culstion. Added to the amount Of
coin In tho hands of the people VIC
find that SOL, OO4, 1856 Is daily used
for purposes of trade while q balance
of q little over thirty millions for pur
poses Of reserve Ia retained by the
treasury department.
No western congressman will joil
hands with the Wall street bush
whackers. The coinage of silver ha
proved both profitable to the govern
ment and to the people, 1t has bsel
profitable to the government in tn
revenue derived from the diferenc
between the face and intrinsic valu
Of the coinage. 1t has been profitabl
to the people in supplying a stead.
market for bullion and in FURNISHING
a constantly expanding volume q
currency based on actual value an,
not on national credit alone.
The people ought to understand tina
tho reports of the great aocumulstio
of silver coin in the treasury vault
are misleading and for a large proper
ton of the dollars there deposited
certificates have been issu I'd and ar
in circulation al currency, performin
every function of the coin itself i
trade with less inconvience than tn

That Is all the basis there is for thes
constant attacks upon silver and silve

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solioity and strength
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste Of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME soLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one-t third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is OF
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate
Of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs, centres, bezels, &C., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to ad-
NIT of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
