married suggested TO his wife that
they should argue some questions
frankly and fully every morning,
in order to learn more of each other.
The question happened to be "whe-

to get along without hat" and
he took the affirmative, and when
he was last seen he had climbed

H. S. MASON And OTHERS: Gen.
tiemea-Your favor Of the 7th in
slant received. While | fully ap-
preciate the honor conferred by
your invitation, I regret that pro
fessional engagements will prevent
me from being present at the pro-
posed meeting. The object of the
meeting should interest every citi-
zen of our State, While your
beautiful city will probably feel
the direct consequences Of closing
the Carson Mint more sensibly
than any other part Of the State,
yet it will indirectly injure every
portion Of the State. The prosper
ity of the State is dependent to a
very great extent upon its mineral
resources, and whatever tends to
cripple the leading industry of the
State initiates against the general
prosperity. The closing of the
Carson Mint is one Of the weapons
which the Cleveland Administra-
ton has chosen to carry into exc
cution its avowed design of demon
citing silver. In this matter the
present Administration has gone
one step farther in its subscribing
to the National Banks than it's pre-
decessors. If the question eyer
had a partisan coloring, it long
since ceased to exhibit the hues of
the partisan. It Che question
whether or not silver shall be de-
monetized and cease to perform It's
functions as one of the circulating
mediums of the country is now
conflict between the people On the
one side, and the National Banks
and their stockholders on the other;

Reductions in prices of MILL
merry goods are not usually offer
ed this season of theyear espec-
tally when there is such a de-
mand for tie holidays, but we
have marked down our entire
stock of goods so that every one
can buy q nice hat at moderate
price.
We do not however carry the
extremly low priced $50 called
cheap goods with which to at
tract the attention of ineXperi-
enced trade. 1t is our policy
to sell only such goods as shall
make each patron a life time
one.
We do handle though the
lowest price goods consistent
with true economy and respect
able appearance. A strict adj
herence to this policy has Sc
cured us a trade which is not
surpassed by that Of any other
millinery house in the State.
We guarantee our prices to be
as low as the lowest and believe
that an examination of our stock
cannot fail to interest those in
search of reliable and fashion
able goods at reasonable cost.

the Union. The vast mineral re-
sources Of the West have received
but very little encouragement FROM
the authorities in Washington. and
the last act of the Administration
in closing the Carson Mint, struck
blow at mining that will be felt

saying to the world, that the Neva-

is no future here for developments,
and Just at time, when the pick IS

II. S. MASON: Dear Su-9our
note of 7th instant, Inviting me to
attend a meeting of the citizens to
be held at the Carson Opera House
on the 10Th Of the present month,
is received. While I have to deny
myself the pleasure of meeting with
YOU on that occasion, | heartily In
dorse the objects Of the meeting
and will gladly cooperate with the
citizens in any plan they may
adopt to secure the re-epening OF
the Carson Mint, and thus secure a
slight recognition of the rights OF
our people which the Bond-holders,
National Banks and London Brok-
ers may respect. After we get the
Mint re-epened, the question will
occur-How can we best keep it
open? To this end let me respect
fully suggest a thorough organiza'
ton of the friends of the silver dol
lar in Nevada and through it urge
similar organizations in all the sill
yer producing States. That these
examinations demand of all Nation
al Party Conventions in 1888, an
honest plank in their party plat
forms in favor of free coinage OF
SILVER, and, demand the nomination
of a candidate for President who is
in favor of the silver dollar, and
| whe will appoint Secretary OF the
| Treasury favorable to such dollar.
That these organizations be so
complete, and powerful in member
ship that the electoral vote OF the
several silver producing States can
be pledged to the party which will
give the best assurance OF comply
ing With their demands.
five fail Of receiving proper re-
cognition in.the Conventions upon
the silverquestion, we can, with the
silver producing States united join
with the friends of silver in the
other States nominate and elect a
National Ticket of our own choice.
The friends OF silver can we'll afford
to ignore all former political ties, in
National Election, for the time
being, and unite and act together
upon the silver issue making it the
paramount issue and the paramount
consid Grafton.
Yours Respectfully.
